Who Has Voice Lines in Version 5.8?
With the much-anticipated Genshin Impact Version 5.8 freshly rolled out, players are diving head-first into the new quests and events. However, a familiar concern has resurfaced: Your Traveler is still unvoiced. Although the voice acting disruptions due to recent strikes have been resolved, fans are noticing that not all characters have returned to the booth.
Some voice actors have resumed their roles, while others have been replaced quietly. Notably, the English voice actors for Lumine and Aether continue to be largely absent, which raises questions about their characters’ representation. Nevertheless, the version does feature a commendable amount of voice acting, albeit selectively distributed.
A compilation created by fans details the voice status of the characters. Here’s a quick summary:
- Ineffa’s Story Quest is fully voiced, including dialogues for supporting characters.
- The Summer Event has also been fully voiced, providing players with a refreshing contrast to the silence of previous updates.
- The Paralogism Mondstadt Quest boasts several voiced characters: Venti, Razor, Bennett, Dahlia, Eula, and even Alice. Regrettably, numerous other Mondstadt characters, including Lumine/Aether, remain mute.
- In the Archon Quest titled A Space and Time for You, the Traveler remains silent while the Abyss twin speaks, and Dainsleif is present but unvoiced.
This situation might frustrate players who anticipated a more complete voice experience for their Traveler. The fact that only one aspect of the Traveler is voiced—the non-playable Abyss twin—adds to the disappointment.
Should You Hold Off on A Space and Time for You?
As Version 6.0 approaches in just over a month, many players are debating whether to delay their quest completions, hoping for future updates to incorporate more voice lines. With Lumine and Aether having returned to the studio, it’s reasonable to expect they will catch up on recording by the time Version 6.0 arrives.
However, the status of Dainsleif’s voice acting remains uncertain. Yuri Lowenthal, his voice actor, expressed a willingness to return but clarified that they must be formally asked to do so. This ambiguous statement hints at the complexities regarding the strike, suggesting that the situation may not resolve promptly.
If you seek a more complete and immersive gaming experience, you may opt to hold off until the voice situation is clarified. However, for those prioritizing story progression or eagerly anticipating the release of Nod-Krai, it might be prudent to dive into the new content now.
