SAY WHAT... it's one of the most cringe thing PA has done in years.
Especially that song... taking a Korean folklore song and trying to do some sort of country rap song...
The dancing that is constantly happening... I mean literally I will never step foot over there unless I am forced to.
This was one of the worst dubs I have seen to date.
That stupid dog from mountain of eternal winter is a close 2nd.
Cron money well spent.
They really should allow doing quests în party as some1 suggested so you can make some unsuspecting victim cringe

What you have a problem being stereotyped by Korean's.. all Americans look like cowboys from texas but talk like they live in Georgia....
I mean who knew... LOL
It's actually an important story element that his accent is unnatural, and not at all a normal american accent. I encourage you to actually play through the story!

This was an absolutely horrid decision on the part of some creative director. Please don't do this again.
Glad I am not the only one who was mildly offended by this choice.
The guy has a southern accent with a drawl at times..... he comes off like a half baked representation of what Koreans must think the average American sounds like. The reality is this is just not a good call from the Voice Over Director to encourate the voice actor to do this....
It would be like me doing a sterotypical asian accent ...."Oh Combo Numba 2 you want fried lice with that..........."
Ontop of it..... content and story wise it makes no sense why ANYBODY honestly would talk like that in this world, let alone a guy from Little Korea Town.... like this isn't some mythical asian land like Pandas in WoW...... they are flat out using historical locations as refrences for LoML.... the words, the names, the design style..... everything screams KOREA..... so why not have this guy talk with the accent that a Korean farmer would use........ why the red neck hick voice?

The accent itself is NOT relevant, the fact he is under cover is..... so again, they could have kept all the plot points exactly as is, and just not used an offensive and sterotypical American Voice

I'm surprised Fughar doesn't have a voice actor. He's like what I'd call a central NPC. Everyone's gotta for to him for something before AND after season. I can hear him with Hugh Laurie's voice.
