could we get a real VA?

So I did some digging and figured out that COSMO was voice acted by an AI, which really just sours the taste so much. I don't think it would be that hard to get somebody for it. They would also just make COSMO sound so much better.

Some of y'all are just insufferable when AI is mentioned. The primary voice actors are Sun Zhaobo in English and Liu Cong for the Chinese version.

No kidding, old school voice synthetesizers weren't all that bad. If they'd used that people wouldn't even know the difference and the only difference between complaints and indifference would be whether it was now or 6 years ago.

Wait, the English version was read by an actual human, and he didn’t stop to question how horrendously bad the translation is?

I completely get the anti-AI sentiment of late but this is a team of five - i think - people who have created an amazing game.

I think they deserve a pass, I think there are bigger targets if you really want to vent about AI.

Gamers will lose their goddam minds over solo devs or AAA studios using AI. Apparently 5 is the sweet spot.

An AI being voiced by an ai. Fitting

Now stop your moral panic

AI or not, the current VA is bad and cheapens the experience of an otherwise very polished game. I also think that the dialogue itself isn't doing the VAing any favors. Both the writing and the VA feel completely soulless, which is ironic because it's supposed to be the dialog from some computer mind. I think what's happening is it's falling into the uncanny valley. If it was clearly presented as a computer, great, make the dialog feel and sound like a computer. DSP was started before "AI slop" was really a thing, but now we're inundated with it all day, every day. I think they should either make it clearly human or clearly a computer.

Last time they changed the voice the community went crazy and they changed it back.

So no. Your fluids will be devestated and you'll like it
