    I have the demo, and it has voice acting. So the answer would be....................

    How good is it?

    Does the hero talk at all? If it's a DQ game most likely it's a silent protagonist who's name and gender you can choose yourself.

    Silent protagonist, but you are forced to play with a male lead that looks like a coss between Gohan and Serge!

    The demo ****ing rules. The real game will probably ruin my social life.

    I ment the voice acting. It's a DQ game so it's unquestionably good.

    The voice acting is fine. Most voices do have some sort of accent, though.

    Are they still going to stomp about like they're mad about life? (haven't played since 6)

    I wasn't blown away by the voice acting in the demo but it didn't bother me either. Assuming the full game is just like the demo I would say the voice acting is generally pretty good.

    The voice acting is pretty good. Yangus's voice is very familiar sounding.

    I just played the full version for about four hours. Good times. The epic feel of the game is wonderful. I'm liking this game a lot!

    reportedly the japanese version didnt have voice acting, so the translation crew decided that to keep a more light hearted tone, they would hire british soap opera actors to voice the roles. For the most part the voices sound fine, not great, but they dont grate either. Only one I have a problem with so far is the king, the high pitched voice wasnt exactly befitting a man of royal character mind you.

    But yah, friggen excellent game. They just dont make em like this anymore. God bless enix.

    The king, in case you didn't notice, had a curse put on him. I <3 Yangus.
