Canada changed her...
Hope she sounds better in Japanese.
She sounds nothing like Nozomi what happened?
Not only voice but personality. Nozomi was quiet and reserved that girl has a completely different voice tone that doesn't fit the game.
I think is more terrible voice acting the person doesn't know how to suit the character.Canada changed her...
They did that in the first game in the japanese version as well, they only used their first names in the english dub. The translators didn‘t seem to have known about that or they wanted it to be closer to the original.I'd just like to know why they're referring to each other by their last names ?

Different voice actress, probably didn't know the character...or she was directed to be slightly chirpier for reasons unknown (i mean she was always kind of mopey in the first game...maybe she found someone else and moved on from Baby Boy Ryo and became happier for it. Afterall, finding love brings out happiness.)
I mean she even says in the video she found new friends and is having more fun...so maybe they thought it was character development to have her sound a little more upbeat...like maybe she had moved on from her school girl crush realising there was no future with him (I always assumed that's why she decided to leave for Canada)...but yeah, not quite the sad sack mopey Nozomi I once knew.
But yeah, not a good replacement. Almost borderline valley girl in her line reading. Wonder how the Japanese version fares? (will find out when I get there since I'm playing with the Japanese dub)
EDIT: Watched the whole video. Is it just me or did that whole conversation seem passive aggressive as fuck? LIke when she says "I doubt you're having much fun at all"....it feels like it comes from a jilted lover saying "SEE! Look what you gave up, dumbass! You could have had me and a nice quiet life but NOOOOO! You had to go get revenge!"
Is not only voice but completely different "personality"
1) "borderline valley girl" this... what I meant.
2) Not only that she sounded weird when the made fun of Goro.
3) As well sounded with a tone of jealousy when asking deeper who Shenhua was.
Sadly conversation ended too soon! wanted to react how she would if she knew Shenhua was a girl and living together with him.
The weird thing is now Shenhua sounds more like Nozomi than Nozomi and act like her too...
I remember Shenhua was more playful and less serious in Shenmue II especially when she tried to kiss Ryo and Ryo freaked out.
They should just had Nozomi voice actor do Nozomi as well.
Yes I miss her too.I wish Ryo could call the Abe Store. I want to hear that lovely old lady's voice.
