Lack of VA never bothered me in games before but for some reason the world feels empty in Pokmon Sword and Shield. Maybe they just needed some more sounds like the snorts from Banjo Kazooie.

That, and why is the guys name Rose?

Rose is his second name. And considering the dub would be American and the region is based on the UK im glad its not voiced.

I think its just because you can hear ambient sounds but the focus is on whomever is speaking and its nothing. Maybe if they just had music and no other ambient sounds it mightve worked better but I keep feeling like its empty. Or maybe I should just stop playing with headphones.

I think back to old Pokemon games or even the PlayStation era of final fantasy and the lack of voice acting never bothered me nor when I play the remakes like Lets Go or FF8 remastered. So Im not quite sure why it feels different in sword and shield.

I actually ended up turning the sound off entirely because I found the lack of voice acting pretty jarring

Better than just hearing ambient wind/leaves sounds... not sure how Rare made it seem so magical at the time. But even playing FF8 Remastered at the moment and the lack of VA doesn't seem jarring... maybe because the dialogue boxes appear all over the screen and it feels like it has personality.
