Also this is something that isn’t really talked about on global but the way they’ve handled the change of JP VA for Zayne has been infuriating.
For starters, they’ve for some reason only announced information on JP twitter as if ppl from other servers/regions don’t use JP voices. This is not just lack of communication, this is lack of care about your fanbase and, frankly, the strangest siloing for a “global” game. Do they think only CN players use Chinese? Do they think all global players use English? All Korean players only Korean? Why isn’t it even worth a mention for other servers? When changing a VA mid-production is one of the biggest things that can possibly happen in an otome. I mean just look at the difference between the handling of Zayne and the handling of Asmodeus(sp?) in Obey Me. The difference in respect towards the fans and the VA are infuriatingly different
ON top of that, originally they stated that content would begin being replaced in late August and then when GoA dropped last month they very suddenly added in a footnote of the JP announcement ONLY that “oh btw GoA will change VA tomorrow byeee” and that’s the way we find out that they would be changing the voice lines as rerun content released? Really?
Add that oversight to their long list of lies and lack of communication. And you might say “well they announced months ago, you had all that time to record” but that’s not the point. The point is communication. The point is suddenly going back on their stated timeline without notice. The point is the lack of respect not only for the VA leaving but the VA joining.
Anyway I’m just working myself up now and ranting. But this has also been on my mind the entire last month on top of Valko and both combined have made it impossible for me to accept the management of this game.
