Dude. What are tonight's lottery numbers?
What the fuck.
I'm not too fond of the same VAs you hear in so many games being used, and I'm not much of a fan of their voice delivery, so that's why I really hope Adam Howden is a VA choice.
SHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.
The joke here is that those are the standard VAs for japanese games.
EDIT: Wait a moment. The panel was the next day. Did you know something we didn't? ¬.¬ You're up there with the guy that predicted Bayonetta 2 being WiiU exclusive few weeks before it was announced.
The game also has other VAs for other characters, so maybe those aren't all options for the protagonist.
The music in the videos is the music from the game.
Also people who care about the game don't talk about it here because it would take less than 5 posts to bring out that kotaku article from the guy that also hated XC.

But did they cut the number of voice options too or are they just using the same VAs for multiple possible voice options (there are battle lines, after all)? The Japanese version of Fire Emblem IF only has one male VA and one female VA for the avatar, but each one recorded 5 different voice types.
I hope it's the latter, but considering it's NoA doing the localization I can see them cutting down the options they don't like or changing them into something different.

I believe the Japanese VAs for Melia, Reyn and Sharla were reused for MC battle voices too. There is a section of the website that had a list.
I hope getting a bunch of returning English VAs is feasible but since Melia's has moved on to Doctor Who we may not have been able to get them all. Fiora's an Alvis' VAs were in Dark Souls 2 so they might've been available to return.

this will get old really fast I feel
the Talk - PAUSE - BEEP - Pause - Select Choice - Pause - Talk
seriously I did not notice how annoying this will get
edit: remove the menu sound should fix it, if they have an Option to turn the menu sounds off I'll do that

It might be annoying when just watching the game passively, but I can imagine it's not when you're actually playing the game because the feeling of being able to have input in the conversations will be really enjoyable. You'll still feel immersed because it'll be like time completely stops; the lights are all on you; it's time for you to decide what to say/think!
What makes it even more immersive is that the characters will say different things depending on your choice, which is demonstrated in that video you posted. And characters will also comment on what you did and what they thought of your choices back in the BLADE barracks!

fair point, will still look for a menu volume
still, all those great voices were wasted
let the avatar speak the choices it is not that hard other games do this all the time
I wish they had a story reason like you lost your voice while in that pod
oops I was about to type a spoiler lol

Very accurate! Houko definitely voiced Elma so I am sure the Japanese cast on that site is correct. The post I am thinking of had a full cast list (maybe off of a magazine scan) but I have forgotten what thread it was posted in.
Of course this doesn't tell us anything about the English cast :/
The main story is fixed, so I don't think so, but people can die depending on the choices you make.
Yeah. XC had similar sidequests that had different outcomings depending on what you've done.

Awesome face, thank you very much.
Guys, this is someone saying what he hopes is in the game. Not what is actually in the game. Confirming false right now.
There is a good variety of actors on both male and female sides. Not up to us to reveal who etc so please let Nintendo decide when and where to release that info. But the quoted stuff above wasn't discussed at the PAX panel, so let's kill it dead here.
Awww, so Adam isn't confirmed?Guys, this is someone saying what he hopes is in the game. Not what is actually in the game. Confirming false right now.

But it's good there will be a larger cast.
Well, no actors are confirmed yet, AFAIK. As I said, it's up to N to decide when and where to release that info.Awww, so Adam isn't confirmed?

Yeah, didn't think it was true. A bit of a bummer to hear there's no Howden. I guess all I'm hoping for now then is more VA choices than the usual Troy Baker, Jhonny Bosch, and Yuri Lowenthal. Their VA can sound so hokey (no offence) and you hear their VA in pretty much everything.
I shouldn't really be complaining, though. Can't wait for this game.
So you're saying there's a chance!Well, no actors are confirmed yet, AFAIK. As I said, it's up to N to decide when and where to release that info.

Was a lie?

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
How did you read that comment and get that the guy knew how many VAs are in the game when he said it was his hopes/dreams

Am I right in thinking that the Shulk amiibo does nothing for this game?

It doesn't, only for the 3DS Xenoblade game.
It's a shame you can't use him to unlock a Monado for both you and your Skell.
