was thinking there'd be more and there probably should be but I'm sleepy.

So is the linguistic phylogenetic argument that after American and British English diverged that British English moved further from the most recent common ancestor of American and British English than American English did? Interesting. Do you have a source (not because I doubt you but because I want to read it myself - this seems interesting)?. I kind of just wanted a narratively justifiable reason to switch up the talent pool but I of course trust you here. Good on y'all for actually doing some research on this. I mean as a fantasy game you could've just done whatever to a degree but this of course is goo too.

When I was in high school I had a theater teacher who mentioned that today's American English sound closer to historical/Shakespeare era/18th century British English. In college, a history professor I had talked about some of the reasons that came to be was because of changes in how British schools taught students how to speak, standardized dialect in BBC radio broadcasts, and the cultural isolation caused by the USA and Britain being divided by an ocean.

The same theater teacher also felt that the worst thing you can do in a play (in particular, Shakespeare) is fake a British accent. Please listen to my old theater teacher and don't have NA VAs fake British accents in Bloodstained. Unless Liam O'Brien is cast and you tell him to use the same voice he used for Lloyd in the English dub of Code Geass. Then that'd be okay because I find that voice hilarious and delightful.

I'd love to see a source on this, too.  I see no reason to doubt this either, but I find it interesting that spoken English before and during the 18th Century was actually closer in sound to American English.

The bolded is an understatement to say the least The pleasure that the overall Japanese entertainment industry seems to take in butchering foreign languages is well known and equal parts hilarious and depressing. I can only assume its a function of so few bilingual people in the country - not enough people to hold your feet to the fire if you mess up. If you royally screw-up a language, any language, in the States, there are enough people fluent/competent in it around who will chew you out for not doing your research. The impression I get is that even with English classes being common in Japan (from my understanding at least), not enough people speak English well to care if you mess up. Like I can jam with derpy attack names to a point but stuff like Five's English in Terror in Resonance (a recent anime) was just painful to listen to. Japan also seems to have a bit of a French/France "fetish" so hearing them butcher French words too is also painful to me as someone whose second language is French

Anyway, yeah, if y'all stumped for names & stuffed, don't be afraid to ask. I'm sure we'd all be willing to help
