I can’t think of any game at the moment that was particularly notable across the board, but I can think of a few specific performances.
Kazuhiro Nakaya as Nishiki and later Ichiban in the Yakuza/Like a dragon series. He is fantastic at getting the character’s personality across just in general scenes, and the emotional moments genuinely stick with me.
Rene Zagger as Emet Selch in FFXIV. That game has some fantastic performances but Emet Selch’s is honestly one of my favorites. Every one of his lines is delivered perfectly. The arrogance theatrics that later tive way to genuine anger and sadness at what he’s gone through. Along with more specifics I won’t get into. 100%, A+ Performance.
Though, actually… Now that I think about it… The Persona 3 Reload dub is probably one of the best English dubs for a Japanese game in a looooong time. And generally they’re pretty good these days. But that one nails it.
