I know VAs have schedules and other obligations, but it's criminal that this isn't fully voiced yet. Every missing EN VA from Paralogism has had voiced content in the game since its release.

Mihoyo do not have the funds !

they barely get any money from that indie game !

d-the-luc2026-01-18 22:46

8 months? this really doesn't help the reputation of English dub. especially since so many people prefer the other dubs over it

SanicHegehag2026-01-18 22:51

At this point, it's probably best to just move on.

If it gets voiced in the future, that's fine. Anyone holding off because they *need* it voiced and have it *literally unplayable* right now, probably has deeper issues.

Biscotti-That2026-01-18 23:12

I was waiting to be fully voiced to play it... stuck in Natlan Act III until is voiced... but yeah. Maybe is best to see the story and don't care about the voice... Just a lot of story to watch in 20 days for Bina.

Aggravating-Yak21652026-01-18 23:20

It's best to just change the dub to another language

Biscotti-That2026-01-18 23:22

Is a shame we can't choose each character dub.... I want English Venti with JP Dori...

madfox5552026-01-18 23:39

That would be so cool

Aggravating-Yak21652026-01-18 23:52

That would be so weird

DarkPhoenixMishima2026-01-19 00:09

It would be kind of fun to have that control. I'd personally set each region to a different language as best I can, that'd make crossover events a bit more interesting for me.

SansStan2026-01-18 23:50

At that point just play it unvoiced

Robertcc992026-01-18 23:56

Is the Traveler voiced in this update or is it still unvoiced? I know it's just a cutscene but still

Biscotti-That2026-01-19 00:03

If you refer to Act 3... I just reached the part when meets Xilonen. Is voiced except one line (a bug they said)... but i don't know if advance. I got spoiled of everything so I want to do all world quest and videos before going on it.

hackenclaw2026-01-19 07:53

the you have to ask this shows Mihoyo suck in transparency.

(so that means unless someone start the quest and tell you which, nobody will know)

Hollowquincypl2026-01-19 11:16

Right there with you. I finally sat the game down in 6.0 to focus elsewhere. Still want to come back when it all gets fixed.

Grand_Protector_Dark2026-01-18 23:47

>Anyone holding off because they *need* it voiced and have it *literally unplayable* right now, probably has deeper issues.

I really don't see why that's indicative of "deeper issues".

SansStan2026-01-18 23:50

The voice acting is super important to me, but apparently that's a "deeper issue"

gem24922026-01-19 00:46

Really? You don't just read the subtitles and then move on without waiting for the voice to finish?

Joyous_Tropical_172026-01-19 01:03

I often don't play with the sound on, so I've never actually noticed a single thing

SansStan2026-01-19 01:58

I'd rather just read a book than do that

gem24922026-01-19 01:59

If there was a Genshin novel I would read that instead.

SansStan2026-01-19 02:01

Good for you, I value the voice acting in this game

ThatSsingularity2026-01-18 23:51

people feel the need to be judgemental

BellalovesEevee2026-01-18 23:54

Why would you immediately resort to saying people have "deeper issues" just because they want to play a story quest voiced? You act like they're mentally ill

Chadzuma2026-01-19 00:47

Forsaken: you have mental issues because you demand a story quest be voiced

Awakened: you have mental issues because you've been listening to the Genshin English dub for 5 years

SilverScribe152026-01-19 00:01

It's just personal preference not mental illness, chill

SectorApprehensive582026-01-19 00:55

hahahaha definitely a loooot of sunken cost fallacy here for said ppl. "I already waited this long, may as well wait a bit longer right? It'll surely be fixed soon....." and repeat each patch. Plenty just don't know when to cut their losses and move on

MaeveOathrender2026-01-19 04:14

Been saying this. They're gonna be really miffed when they finally get around to playing it and it's just yet another mid interlude quest that they fucked up their story progression over a year for.

hackenclaw2026-01-19 07:51

I'll let this two 5.6-5.7 AQ quest in my acc remain unfinished & already move on to finish from 5.8 to Latest ones now.

I just pretend those 2 AQ didnt exist.

OmniOnly2026-01-18 23:07

We just recently got another change in VA. The English Va's really did a huge number for no reason.

kuluk22026-01-18 23:13

Put jp in the bag

smoqingmabluntbitch2026-01-18 23:15

Genshin if it was actually good: “Okay yes, we are sorry that happened, we recorded and added the normal voice acting to the Paralogism chapter and to the whole Natlan AQ, here are your 1.600 primogems as an excuse from us”

quizzically_quiet2026-01-18 23:24

Agreed. I know generally what happens in the quest, but I won't be playing it until it's voiced. Which might be never at this point I guess, Idk. I don't even need all of the voices, but at least have Albedo voiced, come on...

Mihta_Amaruthro2026-01-18 23:32

I've played it. Albedo isn't in it for nearly as much as you assume he is. Venti is a far larger presence and his voice was added back.

chiieru2026-01-19 02:22

This quest is about Albedo. It's only natural to want the character the quest is centered around to be voiced.

Venti has less lines in all parts of the quest. I only manually counted the first part because that's where Albedo has the least amount of lines but even there Venti has 30 less lines than Albedo and during the second and third part, Albedo has over 100 lines in each while Venti is closer to around 50 lines at best. Venti definitely doesn't have a 'far larger' presence.

Mihta_Amaruthro2026-01-19 10:35

>This quest is about Albedo. It's only natural to want the character the quest is centered around to be voiced.

Actually it's about ***Durin***, not Albedo. If you're saying it's about Albedo, that tells me you haven't played it.

Also presence =/= number of lines. Venti overshadows the entire arc.

BobTheGodx2026-01-18 23:26

It's criminal that Traveler has hundreds of lines in the recent AQ but still has their pyro kit unvoiced

Gold-And-Cheese2026-01-19 01:49

You know what's a fun little fact?

Some TCG voicelines when inviting characters *still* aren't voiced. It's been multiple patches already.

Rosaria and Sigewinne for example when they were released.

Arlecchino has also been voiceless for a long while, just until last patch ago with her returning to the AQ.

Even Sethos isn't voiced - and I'm pretty sure he was fully voiced in a recent event quest (the Sumeru one some patches ago with >!the talking cat god, Dottore lore and Layla's lineage reveal!<)

lanienah122026-01-18 23:34

It hurts more that hsr had the same issue and now everything is voiced like how it should be, made me glad to wait for the full experience. Genshin meanwhile is just stuck like this… is the mc even voiced for the natlan finale? lol

EKAAfives2026-01-19 08:50

Well idk now but I did it when it released and it wasn't but its not like I missed out on much hearing some grunts and shouts

somewhat_oaky2026-01-19 20:07

No, I just played it like 2 weeks ago and Aether was not voiced. He was the only unvoiced one, at least, and has relatively few lines.

hera-fawcett2026-01-18 23:39

ngl, ik yall want this voiced but thats lowkey a ton of work and coordination on a project that could be used for snehznya. it *would* be the equivalent of dividing genshin teams that ppl complain milistra is.

its a large scale project w multiple voice actors. thats weeks of coordinating schedules, booking venues, reading and rereading voicelines, splicing them together as needed, doing other sound mixer stuff, throwing it into the game, testing to make sure it sounds good, doing more sound editing on the fly, sending it out for human beta testing to make sure it all works, etc.

its not just a quick rerecord. if they want to record the en vas they'll have to dedicate a lot of time and energy to put towards it.

edit - some nice ppl have informed me that this process (which is how shit usually works) is not what would happen w genshin and there are already some VAs that have been added back to paralogism. so, whatever the hold up is, its not logistics like financials. i apologize for the misinformation.

SansStan2026-01-18 23:51

Are you hearing yourself?

hera-fawcett2026-01-19 00:05

its not something im advocating for and im not saying its okay--- but its the reality of the situation. this is a company that hasnt given us a skip button (even tho hsr has one) or a replay events option. they have never prioritized skins despite having a vast amount of official material and seeing solid financials on the game that does release them (hi3).

if this isnt something important to them-- and, again, why would it be? its an en only problem about something theyve 'moved on' from-- then its not going to be something that they go out of their way to fulfill.

its terrible. it sucks. i empathize w those who dont want to play w/o VAs. i do not *agree* w said decision. but its just logical ass business fr.

beautheschmo2026-01-19 00:13

There's literally like 2-3 VAs missing from these quests lol (because they *have* been adding some of them back over time even while working on a like 15 fkn hour AQ for Nod Krai), and its not even something the main dev teams would be handling anyways, this post is complete nonsense.

hera-fawcett2026-01-19 00:14

aight, thats my bad, i apologize. ill edit it.

I-fell2026-01-18 23:39

I eventually bit the bullet and played everything bc I figured i would watch it again with my mom (who im trying to get caught up on Genshin again...) when it's fully dubbed but yeesh i might have to give up on that😭

Possible_Answer90892026-01-19 04:10

omg you watch the story with your mom?? God I wish I could get my dad to sit still for a second to give it a chance!

I-fell2026-01-19 04:19

Oh yeah, tbf my mom watched anime way before I ever did and likes fantasy like this, so she was down. We're on a second rewatch to mix in the events and story quests we missed the first time since I realized the Hexenzirkel gets drip fed to us better during the summer events😅

Possible_Answer90892026-01-19 04:23

My dad totally has undiagnosed ADHD, I doubt I could get him to sit still, especially for a lot of early archon quests like Mond/Liyue. The later acts in those can be a bit of a drag.

Yep, lots of important lore in these temporary events too. Like the Shadow Amidst Snowstorms event.

I-fell2026-01-19 04:37

If he's not against genshin as a concept, would him playing it himself be an option? or nah? Bc that could help a bit if he's actually participating in it but idk

Possible_Answer90892026-01-19 04:47

He played D&D and Nintendo in his teens/early adulthood, but hasn't played anything beyond Wii Sports in 30+ years. I think the microtransactions in Genshin would horrify him LOL

I-fell2026-01-19 05:03

Ah yeah just push that part aside be like "look, cool fantasy story-- don't worry about it asking for your credit card information, look at how pretty Mondstadt is!" XD

JaySlay20002026-01-19 04:53

I'm still waiting. Tbh, I'm not sure I even want to continue the story. It's like an addiction that was broken, I have minimal desire to go back.

feryoooday2026-01-19 06:21

I’m still waiting for my alt account but I want to re-play it so bad :(

rathosalpha2026-01-19 11:13

I'll probably get to see it voiced at the rate im playing(i just recently got to sumeru even though ive been semi regularly playing since 2020)

iorveth12712026-01-18 23:44

Pyro MC lines as well.

I really hope they update this stuff.

Ashamed-Wealth24522026-01-19 00:29

No they don't? At least I know for sure Lumines Pyro lines are still silent, can't speak for Aether

iorveth12712026-01-19 00:33

That's what I'm saying

Ashamed-Wealth24522026-01-19 00:38

Ahhh okay okay, I misread what you said lmao

BobTheGodx2026-01-19 00:34

Aether doesn't have pyro skill/burst lines too

JJhnz122026-01-19 01:03

Surely it would have only taken an hour or two more in the voice booth for some of those lines.

rW0HgFyxoJhYka2026-01-19 09:58

Given that these VAs are probably recording lines months from now patches ahead, who knows whos waiting on who.

Nero_PR2026-01-19 01:56

Especially now that we can rewatch cutscenes in the game.

Itchy-Locksmith-25902026-01-23 15:56

we can ?

Nero_PR2026-01-23 16:14

We can.

Itchy-Locksmith-25902026-01-23 17:35

where ?

Nero_PR2026-01-23 17:37

In the old menu we'd go for character story quest on the quest tab. You get a new menu with three options, one for character stories, the tribal chronicles, and one with the game's timeline with cutscenes.

ThatSsingularity2026-01-18 23:50

literally still haven't played nod-krai's main story because i'm waiting for albedo in paralogism and dainsleif in a space and time for you. kinda wanted to kms when i saw half the cast was added to paralogism in one patch and somehow not albedo who's actually been to the studio

specially pissed knowing that with hsr, unvoiced lines generally get voiced really quickly

TakeiDaloui2026-01-20 00:16

I did the same up until a patch ago and just played Paralogism as they had most stuff sorted. Then just unlocked the nod krai stuff, bar the prologue that is locked behind the content I haven't played.
Downside is that I have still got the Dainsleif stuff to play, because I refuse to play that unvoiced. We barely get any Dain content as it is, I'm not playing my yearly amount muted. They just need to get these last voices in already.

xLordEnder2026-01-18 23:52

I’m just genuinely confused as to why they don’t just take some time to get all the available VA’s to record the missing lines. Is it a particularly lengthy process that would take resources away from development of new content? I have no idea and frankly it seems so strange for a company to leave a vital aspect of their storytelling unavailable for so long even when most of the missing VA’s have returned.

I can imagine newer players going through the whole game with each AQ fully voiced, then when they start playing through Paralogism, they’re wondering why the hell some characters are voiced and some are mute - it would definitely ruin the immersion and experience for some.

hederah2026-01-19 00:10

they have to negotiate studio time around all the VAs' schedules, which they may not have time for.

TheSaiguy2026-01-19 02:08

I avoided Natlan for a long time in the hopes that they add the voices. I think I give up

Tempest3212026-01-19 02:20

They already did. Only the traveller's voice is unvoiced in the various cutscenes for Natlan with the final AQ having 2-4 characters unvoiced but only in the cutscenes. The regular dialogue in Natlan is already filled. Paralogism and the 5.7 AQ are the only ones with glaring unvoiced parts.

TheSaiguy2026-01-19 02:21

I finished act 4 of Natlan a few days ago, so it seems most of what I have left are the unvoiced ones

speedyBoi962402026-01-19 02:41

The worst offenders are unvoiced pmc in the mavuika final showdown cutscene and fucking DAINSLEIF in the dainsleif quest 😭😭

RunImmediate60622026-01-19 05:13

So jarring that they added the option to re-watch cutscenes in-game now. But the final Natlan Cutscenes are still not fully voiced.

Soren-kun2026-01-18 23:57

It's more like they wanna save the money x.x

multificionado2026-01-19 00:08

No crap. Same with other lines.

AarviArmani2026-01-19 00:11

There was a time when we joking about people using JP dub feeling superior to the Eng dub users but now I actually do feel superior but for the wrong reason lmao.

Hopefully you guys stop experiencing issues with eng dub at some point. But I encourage everyone to try out JP one, it's really really good.

gem24922026-01-19 00:48

It's good except for Furina, Neuvilette, and Tighnari.

LucinaDevotee2026-01-19 03:07

JP is the worst dub.

slaydwagons2026-01-19 00:20

use the surveys to let them know that voice acting is important

Ororororon2026-01-19 03:59

This! Please y'all.

NoMaize72132026-01-19 04:58

Yes, I actually did ask to add missing voices to Paralogism in the last survey

hackenclaw2026-01-19 07:42

survey alone doesnt help shit.

Wallet and survey will get them notice. As long there isnt enough of players line their wallet against Hoyo, Hoyo will be like.... "nah I aint got time doing it, may be when I in-a-mood I might"

PvZGaming12026-01-19 09:56

They will just take that to replace missing voice actors, probably

CompetitiveStreak2026-01-19 01:22

The VA strike during 5.0 really hurt the Natlan story

FrenzzyLeggs2026-01-19 02:19

it was cooked either way but true

speedyBoi962402026-01-19 02:39

Better than everything pre sumeru still tho, no idea how any of the main story from mondstadt, liyue, or inazuma hooked players

Can't believe I have to specify this but I was obviously talking about archon quests

Donoboy262026-01-19 03:19

the book in Enkanomiya, is truthfully what made me realize I wanted to stay the course pre-Sumeru

-Ren972026-01-19 04:23

Yup, Enka/ Before Sun and Moon renewed my interest in the game too lol. Past that it was exploration and building units which just couldn't hold me

Sumeru was when I knew i was locked into the story bc of how much the writing had improved by that point. More accurately the chasm story ig

speedyBoi962402026-01-19 10:04

I was talking about archon quests, world quests have always been peak

Iffem2026-01-19 03:46

Beyond Sun and Moon

OutsideIntropid17642026-01-19 02:47

Nahh

Koanos2026-01-19 03:37

It also hurt the VAs, worse for VAs who had no say on the matter and got replaced in short order.

CompetitiveStreak2026-01-19 03:42

Basically bad for everyone

Koanos2026-01-19 03:52

Nobody won, people only lost, and the VAs who had no control over the decisions made by the top especially lost the most.

They can't cross the Union, yet said Union is directly responsible for their demise, and they just have to eat it.

ElysiumReal2026-01-19 09:11

that the union still even exists, anyone that knows about them hates them

rW0HgFyxoJhYka2026-01-19 09:59

The thing is, the majority of people in USA like SAG, and the majority of SAG power comes from hollywood actors and other big shots, not voice actors who are treated as 3rd class citizens but they refuse to realize this.

ElysiumReal2026-01-19 10:17

sag trains ai on their union members how are they liked

Nuka-Crapola2026-01-19 10:28

They aren’t, at least by voice actors. They’re only tolerated because trying to start a new union in 2026 America would be suicide, and HoYo is pretty much the only company offering Americans anything close to what a union role brings in— there’s a reason most non-union VAs live in Texas (one of the least labor-friendly states in the country) for work, and it’s not good for them.

Koanos2026-01-19 18:21

> not voice actors who are treated as 3rd class citizens but they refuse to realize this.

That's the worst part, SAG has essentially reinvented the corporation and is forcing everyone to play their game and suffer their rules, blacklisting those who cross the line while disenfranchising any not part of them yet making the barrier to entry incredibly high.

Koanos2026-01-19 17:54

Arguably, if labor conditions were in the US were actually worker friendly, I don't think they would need to do any of this.

Koanos2026-01-19 21:46

The compounding issue is SAG wants *all* acting to fall under their purview, instead of letting VAs make their own Union, or listen to said VAs who are their Union members. Fees without representation, blacklisting and retaliation for crossing their lines, yet catering to those at the top of their leadership and earners.

VAs should make their own Union, but it’s become clear SAG would retaliate, and you’re not going to get much success Unionizing in the USA these days.

EKAAfives2026-01-19 08:49

True it pretty much felt like a world quest

MiniMages2026-01-19 01:34

Blame SAG-AFTRA and some of the VA's that decided to try and do a voluntary strike on Genshin. This is not MiHoYo's fault.

Raze772026-01-19 03:47

There is no strike right now. It's mihoyos job to do the work and they aren't doing it.

Monts3gur2026-01-19 11:36

when you dont know how any of it works, i dont think you should voice your opinion. VA's arent hired by Hoyo, Hoyo hires studios and the studios take care of the VA casting. Even before the strikes we've known said studios are a trainwreck (not paying the VAs etc). The fact most of you whiners entirely skip the studios and jump straight onto Hoyo (who, again, has really no say in this case) is definitely why this issue exists still in the first place.

New_Needleworker9942026-01-19 06:24

Nah it’s been enough time that it’s absolutely hoyos fault for not having remedied the bulk of the missing voice lines

DehyaFan2026-01-19 10:31

Hoyo isn't the contracted studio, nor are they the VA's schedule or agents. Only so much they can actually do.

hackenclaw2026-01-19 07:44

It was Sag fault for causing the problem, it is now Mihoyo's fault for not updating the thing after sooo long.

You can keep saying it is only Sag fault, that will let Hoyo drag this whole thing as far as 8.0.

cartercr2026-01-19 01:40

And production schedules still exist.

Ketzeph2026-01-19 01:48

The VA’s have the time. It does not take long to voice content of the length of that quest. It’s Hoyo not wanting to pay or arrange it

You can only blame the strike so long. This is a day’s work tops.

New_Needleworker9942026-01-19 06:25

Spot on, it’s hoyos fault at this point

DehyaFan2026-01-19 10:34

How is it hoyo's fault? The voice work is subcontracted through a local recording studio, if it's not the VAs schedule it's the middleman.

KombuchaWay2026-01-19 01:59

Simple, play in Japanese, best VA of all and no drama, also, good quality for once :)

Major_Economy_5712026-01-19 02:03

I just can't understand why they can't add missing Traveler's lines for Natlan Act IV and V. Do you need a separate contract for different quests?

PvZGaming12026-01-19 09:59

Wait they should talk in act IV?

Major_Economy_5712026-01-19 13:37

One line when confronting The Captain with Xilonen and Mavuika, 2 lines when flying above the Scions of the Canopy.

zhaoying_miu5752026-01-19 02:03

Never forget what those delusional "union" VAs did and dragged Hoyo along with other VAs into an artificial mess.

Fuck you, Corina and your delusional associates. Also obligatory fuck SAG

NSLEONHART2026-01-19 02:15

Some VAs are moe busy than others. Zach Aguillar (Aether's VA) for instance, is also the VA for Tanjiro Kamado from Demon Slayer, and theyre currwntlt making the Infinity Castle pt 2, so its likely they akready booked him for god knows how many sessions.

Idk if Cyno has missing voicelines, but for extra unecessary info, his VA (Alejandro Saab/Cyyu) is also the VA of deadpool in Marvel Rivals, and ofcpurse its gonna take up his time (and he still a vtuber so more work)

jayakiroka2026-01-19 03:56

Cyno was never missing iirc because Alejandro Saab has always been a part of a different studio that wasn’t subject to the strike.

PvZGaming12026-01-19 09:58

How does that even work? Did the studio have AI protections or something? Hoyo itself stayed the same after all

jayakiroka2026-01-19 18:53

I don’t know the details but I’d assume so yeah. Hoyo barely handles anything to do with the VAs outside of CN, so policies often depend on the studios.

ExtremeQuestion6102026-01-19 19:45

Zach is also Arthur in Seven Deadly Sins and he is also in Fire Emblem which needs him as well(Fire Emblem Heroes mostly)

Dekachonk2026-01-19 02:29

I just wish they'd update the lines for the chessboard boss fight. It's uncanny to hear a silent mc and albedo every week.

BluHor1zon2026-01-19 03:06

In due time perhaps. But is it "criminal"? Not really imo.

GoTouchGrassMan2026-01-19 03:25

Oh damn it came out on my birthday…

Alone-Marsupial30032026-01-19 04:01

Came out 3 days after mine

westofkayden2026-01-19 03:38

I wonder if they're still working out proper contract renewals or changes and only doing the most necessary work rn.

I'd imagine Hoyo wants to tighten up their contracts to prevent SAG from hurting them or the actors again when it comes to their games.

But considering some recasts are still happening, I guess they want to know if the current VAs are going to stay on or dip like Ganyu's VA.

There could also be a huge backlog too and scheduling conflicts with the VA's other current works.

I don't even know if ganyu's VA quit voluntarily, it's also possible she just wasn't called back, since she hasn't appeared in any content recently, and a VA is now needed for lantern rite

PhilledZone2026-01-19 03:39

After ever patch I watch the cutscene of the Chess boss fight once to see if they finally added Albedo lines 😭

maru-senn2026-01-19 04:31

Can't they call it work abandonment at this point? I thought the strike was long over

Confident_River_35832026-01-19 05:31

I understand VA scheduling issues,but after this much time it’s hard not to feel disappointed,especially when every Paralogism since release has been voiced.

I'm not playing the story until it's voiced, they should be ashamed of had taken so long.

sidbarett2026-01-19 07:18

Still waiting lads. Not touching this until they complete it

DearInjury68422026-01-19 08:17

Dainsleif's voice lines in the 5.4 quest isn't voiced too. (I could be mistaken)

ExtremeQuestion6102026-01-19 19:48

No you are correct

MaJuV2026-01-19 08:53

None of the missing VA lines have been added yet. Anecdotes and the Lyre music quest are also still unvoiced.

Tried replaying a secondary account over the christmas holidays and I'm noticing this.

Luzis2026-01-19 10:33

Hoyo probs panicking and prioritizes all future voicelines

Sad bc I'm on a challenge account and was looking forward to go through all previously non voiced stuff

Ant-chan2026-01-19 17:45

I haven't played this chapter yet because of this :(

Els2362026-01-19 19:31

Keqing, Sucrose, Charlotte and whoever else that got replaced still don't have new profile VO in the game either, and KQ was replaced in... what, 5.7? (Not including Ganyu as she was this patch)

Whereas Tighnari's was replaced and re-voiced within like 1 patch.

Idk what's going on - doesn't really make much sense now the strike is over lol.

ExtremeQuestion6102026-01-19 19:43

Hell Dainsleif's Natlan quest, he still isn't voiced despite Yuri Lowenthal voicing Dain in the Nod Krai Archon Quest

Magdalina7772026-01-20 00:42

Yeap. This, and the Traveler cutscene voicelines in Natlan AQ, and I think also Space and Time For You And Me or whatever it was, and also Pyro MC lines, and character anecdotes (I find it extra ridiculous they decided to push a long awaited feature with characters in open world EXACTLY at the height of voicelessness and them never bother to fix it), and that WHOLE SINGLE WORD in Mizuki story quest.

I honestly think it's really disrespectful of Hoyo at this point. Yes, I admittedly don't know the detailed ins and put of VA work but at this point it seems absurd to think it's anything but lack of effort on Hoyo's part. They're not some poor indie company, and strike didn't end yesterday. It ended in, what, June? They've had over HALF A YEAR to figure things out - arrange extra recordings with studio and VAs, find new VAs if nothing else works (I love old VAs but after over a year of silent quests I'll take new voice over no voice. It's been long enough), pay extra for overtime hours, heck, with the money Hoyo makes they could probably start THEIR OWN recording studio and transition all recordings there in this time.

I also don't understand why it was impossible to simply push one of newer AQ back - from my understanding they're pretty lengthy and Hoyo have been pushing a LOT of them, and while it's great, surely it wouldn't harm anyone to postpone one of those fancy new AQs to next patch and instead use the freed up time of all the VAs and recording studio to finally cover old content.

Another thing that pisses me off is absolute lack of communication. Neuvillette skill summoned one extra ball? We're awfully sorry, we'll update it asap - here, we hotfixed it, here's your primo compensation. Half the game is missing voicing? What voicing? What game? No idea what you're talking about.

At this point I can only assume they don't care about English playing community whatsoever and don't even respect their EN players enough to at least let them know exactly how many years they need to wait before their quests are voiced. I must say I used to feel a lot of respect for Hoyo as a company, they do a lot of really cool things but....yeah. I've long unsubbed (not pulling for any new characters anyway since I've never met them) and I'm probably just going to grab my next free const and take a nice long break from the game. I'll be back in 5 years when/if they actually voice it...

Haven't played genshin since a while ago, the last Main Quest I played was Paralogism.
Is the EN VA situation solved on 6.0 onwards?

I really liked most of the EN voices more than the JP's, however, I did need to change the language because I wanted to hear the characters talking as a lot of the quests I've been doing catching onto the main quest have been from half muted to entirely muted (I'm talking both main and character quests).
Specially the last CN new year event got me mad because half of the characters were muted so the conversations were really inconsistent

SufficientComplex7452026-01-23 05:00

a lot of them will be job stealers, so not interested…

Zelda-Lumine2026-01-25 12:32

Only this? What about the rest of Natlan? The Scene of the Boss battle still has no VO for Kinish and Traveler is mute in EVERY Natlan Quest since 5.1. Why do we only care about Paralogism when there is so much more unvoiced stuff?
