Here's new gameplay footage for Vesperia definitive edition.

Looks like they just inserted the new VA lines for Yuri into new scenes and kept the old ones, instead of a full rerecording job. Understandable from a cost perspective, really. But it is pretty noticeable and a bit jarring, especially if you're someone like me who has played this game a lot (around 400 hours total across multiple replays) and have the voices so deeply ingrained in your memory.

At around 3:00, you can see a new scene with the new VA.

To his credit, the new VA is doing a good job trying to emulate Troy Baker's almost iconic voice, but it's still pretty clear that's a different person. And Karol and Rita definitely sound older, which is no surprise.

Kiiinda not feeling the VA for Patty though; Mieu was my least favorite voice in Abyss. Might come to like her eventually while playing, but who knows. Will just have to play the game and see.

And just as I was typing this up, I found out that Bandai Namco didn't even ask Baker to come back to voice him.

Which is bizarre, since they managed to get everybody else back to record new lines.

The Vesperia board is lighting up about this issue, and I can definitely understand why. Troy Baker IS Yuri Lowell.
