I implore you to play this game with Japanese audio. The English voice acting is so bland and flanderizes a lot of characters. I cannot believe I went half the game with that mediocre dub. There's a few good characters, namely the house leaders, but most everyone is just a stereotype. The Japanese voice acting is shockingly an improvement. It is such an improvement that even someone who doesn't speak the language should be able to pick up on it. While the English has a few good performances, the Japanese has all great performances. I happened to really like Claude's english voice, but upon switching to Japanese because Lorenz was just so annoying every time he spoke in support dialogue, I was astonished at how much better Lorenz and Claude were in Japanese. For one, they actually talk like real people. I kept playing and I soon discovered that literally everyone was 100 times better, even Dimitri and Edelgard.

I cannot stress enough, if you are not a fan of the characters and they seem soulless or anime, switch to Japanese audio, as it is miles better than you would think.
