A curious, yet simple question on VN

[simon4811]

When you guys play VN's, do you usually let the voices play out even when you read faster than their voices play? I usually tend to just hit enter the moment I finish reading the text, regardless of whether the voices has finished playing. I'm pretty sure most people would even skip the moaning sounds during the H-Scenes completely. So what are your thoughts and tendencies? 

[Nosebleed]

I also tend to skip the voices once I finish reading the text. Some characters seem to speak slowly for no reason and it feels like a drag to let them finish talking.

Unless I really like hearing the character speaking or if the scene is really important, I almost always skip spoken lines.

In h-scenes I usually let them finish whatever they're saying. Because, you know, science.

Agreed completely

 

though since I started replaying Danganronpa this Tuesday, I've let almost all voice acting go rampant, but maybe that is because it is so good (and the class trials are all VERY important)

I skip the voices in English VNs but if I'm reading in Japanese then I let the voices play out even before I even start reading the sentence

[Tesla]

It really depends if I can immerse myself enough to think of it as an anime playing in my head or if the voices aren't annoying. If someone has a voice I can't stand then they get skipped through after reading the text.

[Cyrillej1]

If I read it in English, I just skip the voice once I finish reading it. It feels like a drag, to wait on it since I'd read it way faster.  If I'm reading it in Japanese, I always let the voice finish, and mostly try following along. For H-scenes, it depends.. 

 

Well, there are also times I'll let a VN go into Auto mode, while I read it in English... almost like watching an anime with subtitles.. I do that, if I feel it's engaging enough or in the mood to be patient.

I let the voices play out before clicking next - if you have even a remote understanding of the language, you can sometimes catch alot of meaning from the intonation of their voices. It adds to their depth and personality imo.

 

Random example, depending on how a character asks "neh?", it can range from funny all the way to completely insane. Something text can't really relay well.

 

As for Hscenes, It depends on the VN tbh - some are worth listening/reading - and others I will ctrl-skip asap.

[TexasDice]

That solely depends on whether or not I enjoy the overall scene in question.   

[suikashoujo]

If I listened to every single line in a VN, I would never finish anything. So I skip everything except important lines where I think listening to the voices would give the scene more impact (examples: confessions of love or death scenes)

[Heizei_koukousei]

I have since given up on listening to the audio in VNs so that I can focus on reading the story. It also allows me to get through a title much faster. I know I am potentially missing some great soundtracks, but hearing voices doesn't really improve my experience since I don't know Japanese.

 

But this is coming from someone who read manga long before they ever watch anime so my opinion is rather biased

[Zantax]

Of course I don't skip voices. If one doesn't care about voices then why don't just read a book? Well, I know I'm exaggerating because VNs have other things that book doesn't but when I don't just try to fly to the end to have scene / route done, I definitely listen voices (and often replay them ).

[gustave154]

Only skip if i am running out of time. But i try my best to hear all the voices.

[Yuri Hunter]

I usually don't skip if is a girl, but if is a voice of a guy who I don't like, I do.

[Eclipsed]

Skip voices as soon as I'm done reading.

Which is why I treasure the 'voice playback continues after click' though; voice cutting off sux.

The only VN where I listened to every voiced dialogue was Neko Para

[sub-zer0]

I usually enjoy the voices , because that is a huge part of what VNs are, I do skip some H scenes though , I usually skip most H scenes,sometimes I read some parts of it just to see whats going on , but I skip during H all the time. when I feel like Im kind of dragging this out, I start flipping as soon as I finish the text, that doesn't happy very often, unless it is a really long arc or one really long explanation.

[Mr Poltroon]

I will listen to the voices unless I wanna finish fast. The more immersed I am the less likely it is I may cut off a voice.

[AlexZandria]

Depends on my mood if I think the voices are attractive how long they take and what language they are voiced in

[Life]

I almost always just continue after I finish the text... Unless for some reason the voices are just funny to listen to and sometimes during powerful scenes.

[B0X0R]

I always let the voices finish up. I especially like it when they tell you when the next frame includes voice acting.

[Zenophilious]

Almost always listen to the entirety of the lines unless they're taking a really long time to say something, in which case I just mash LMB/Enter until everything is okay.  I like hearing the characters' voices, even if I don't understand them.

[Andreas]

I always let the voices finish. Text in itself can't convey the mood and personalities of the characters good enough IMO.

[Deep Blue]

Most of the time I like to hear them because I enjoy them and they are more accurate than the translation itself.

[TheFantasm]

Unless it's a voice I absolutely hate, I'll let them play.

[Satsuki]

[Turnip Sensei]

I usually  skip the voices, except when they are really good or when I'm too lazy to click and play on auto. Also if there is some really awesome sounding or silly line, I will listen to it a few times.
