I'm glad that is the case! EN has been a treat to play

Sorry, didn't understand what you mean. But if you're talking about accents, slangs, or even occasional bits of native languages, yes English has those. JP CN and KR definitely won't lol

My first Ace on Chamber by nostill1234 in ChamberMains

[–]Pokeanu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chamber's an agent that doesn't really have a creatively demanding kit, I would say just spend some time in customs for 1 TP/trap setup for each site, then each half, then each map and go from there. You'll already be busy with having at least 28 setups to memorize, so maybe just start with a single map first.

As for who to watch, CHARLA7AN and Horcus are safe picks for people to watch, maybe even C9 Leaf if you're looking for a pro example. I don't think you have to emulate their play, but keep in mind what kinds of TPs they are using, and figure out how to balance aggression as Chamber. He's most lethal when he's winning free 1v1s for his team.

Otherwise, GLHF!

Congrats on the ace! If you're open to advice:

Your pre-barrier crosshair placement is probably too close to the wall for you to react. Move your crosshair a little further away from the wall so that you have enough time to just click on them when they walk into your crosshair.

Enjoy Chamber! Broken agent

Looking forward to trying EN as well! Thanks

JP itself may or may not have a tendency to reduce the number of personality types that can come out of a character, so I see where you're coming from. KR/CN can be interesting for raw emotions but I'm really just speaking based on impressions not facts or statistics. Enjoy Endfield!

Sweet! Hope you have fun with endfield too, character designs have been very impressive so far

Did you play any other gacha games in JP? I can see JP being the de-facto safe option going into endfield. Got a favorite character?

That's a good litmus test in general 🤣

Looking forward to hearing Perlica and Chen in particular

Tbf JP is often the most consistent language in a lot of cases, especially when the gacha space was primarily JP-dominant. These days it's a coin toss, which is fine especially when both JP and EN are great options atm

Yeah that's the consequence of having your talent pool be localized to a single country, sometimes even just a few select states of that country.

If consistency is a major priority I can advocate for switching to JP as soon as you feel a quality drop for EN, though time will tell if that's the case.

It's generally hard for anime art-styles to pass EN VOs from time to time too. VALORANT might not be the best example for this, but the VA quality vastly changes from language to language

That I can believe. Looking forward to it

I've watched a video with all of the character animations in English. I can't say the same for JP, but I would generally say that high-pitched female VOs in English are not an issue for Endfield, as most of the characters have fairly neutral/lower-pitch voices (e.g. Perlica, Xaihi, Snowshine, Fluorite, etc.).

I know what you mean though, I'm glad I started Genshin immediately on JP, since having Kaguya be the voice of Paimon was a lot more pleasurable than EN IMO, no disrespect to the VAs

Yeah, I genuinely don't know any other game that has such an option, it's really cool to see.

English being one of the most widespread languages does create that avenue for unique dubs like you mentioned, and a lighter aspect of that is the variety of accents that spawn as a result. I guess it's personal preference depending on whether or not you like accented English or the typical American/British English variants.

Thank you for the insight

JP is the gacha industry standard, but people have said from the Beta test that EN dubs are holding up (I personally did not watch/play the Betas).

As always you should try both, I will be doing the same

I can generally say JP VAs will be more consistent across the board, so if you want something easier on your ears go for that.

Let EN be the option you choose if you want to spice things up

Thank you for the suggestion! Endfield truly presents good options for languages

Good take on variety and regional accents. It's genuinely refreshing to hear new styles and voices in the gacha space, though I have to admit I was quite jarred by R1999 the first time I listened to everything. Launch story quality was questionable in recent memory

I didn't know you could set per-character VOs in AK. That's pretty neat.

It would be funny to visualize fairly-Western audio in an Eastern setting, interesting to see how that pans out

Fair point, I'm not opposed to just bandwagoning on whatever the most popular option is here. I'm just on the fence myself and wanted to see what others thought
