English in youtube captions.

There’s a lot of exposition, as we get 4 new main characters introduced. Honestly though, the chapter antagonist was more interesting than any of them.

Also, the second battle theme is some really sweet-ass breakcore.

Opening FMVs and start of Chapter 1 with English subs (in youtube captions).

I went with Zero, because how could I not?

This ending starts how the game began - with the Heroes of Golyat. This is why I did the Law route for the final chapter.

Queen Catiua evidently employed the same speechwriter as King Denam.

Which characters show up in this second part depend on route, who you have recruited, and several other factors.

The scene I got was Jeunan and Ocionne. I like them, so I'm happy with that. It could've been worse.

I'm so happy a bit of the music box scene gets featured. If I got to pick 3 extra scenes to get voice acting, that'd be one of them.

And with that, we are done!

"Hey, there's a Japanese voice acted March of the Black Queen on saturn too..."

The sidequests I did before Hanging Gardens (eg. Ganpp, Lindl, Ocionne, Hobyrim's backstory) didn't have voiced scenes. I know the Apocrypha stuff has a little, but I missed some of the sisters, so I couldn’t do it.

On to endgame, then.

There's no voice acting in the entire Hanging Gardens, until after the final boss goes down. He doesn't get a voice either, which is a shame, because look at him!

I wanted to hear that thing. But, we do get Warren’s heroics...

From there, it's straight into the ending. I'm doing the Bad End first.

This is missing a short scene involving Cerya and Cistina, because I didn't have them.

Still sore about that Balmamusa thing...

I didn't get the Gilbert and Tristan epilogue, as I was too much of a bastard. That's probably voiced as well, but I'm not going to bother with it. Messing around with chaos frame is where I'm drawing the line.

The Resistance encroaches upon the Bakram capital, but of course, the real story is the turmoil within the castle walls.

Barbas sounds like he's in his 50s...

...but Martym and Andoras are both great. This is the only time we'll hear the three of them speak, though.

Interesting, Lanselot and co.'s escape is left off-screen. I guess they decided it needed to be explained in the remake.

One more loose end. After already losing his father, Denam learns the fate of his father-figure.

We're back onto main story scenes now.

The next point of order is to get Catiua back. Barnicia is where it goes down. The defeated Dark Knights cut Catiua and run, leaving Denam to walk a verbal tightrope with her.

And now, the version everyone (or just me) got on their first blind playthrough.

This optional scene is certainly a break from all the heavy drama.

I don't know if this is in the remake, but Deneb's recruitment is very different in both versions, so I’m inclined to think not (edit - a kindly reblogger tells me that is included).

The next few voiced scenes all involve Mreuva and his daughters.

Still at Brigantys, here's Denam's scene with Olivya immediately following Prancet's death.

Next, is the man himself. And Sherri. And a deteriorating situation.

I've made fun of the portraits before, but I was not ready for that look on Mreuva's face.

This next one is an optional scene - recruiting Sherri.

I imagine this scene has even more depth if you've played March of the Black Queen and The Knight of Lodis.

First half here

Where we pick this chapter up is at Catiua and Lancelot. Nothing new to this route.

The next two scenes happen in quick succession, so they're combined into one video. The lead-in and aftermath of Vyce's ploy in Rhime.

Stuff happens, and we're back at Phidoch for the chapter finale.

We've fought Oz (Law), we've fought Ozma (Neutral), but Chaos Route treats us to both at once. Much harder than the other two.

Lastly, the end of Vyce...

...but not before some bee stings to the face.

After telling Ronwey where to stick his olive branch, Denam rethinks the values he's had to this point.

The Chaos version of Catiua's departure. You get a dialogue choice this time, which is nice if she's really starting to grate on you.

Our introductions to Regent Brantyn, and Volaq of the Dark Knights, aka that one you don't really notice much.

The more I look at this scene, the more I realize how politically-savvy Vyce is. He drove a wedge there, precisely where he wanted it.

Soon after, Denam and Leonar settle things at Coritanae.

...And Rhime is exactly where we're going, next post.

The Neutral Route gets really shafted in terms of voiced scenes. There's only so much that can fit on one CD-ROM, but it's still a shame. The Neutral Route's awesome, give it a chance.

The few voiced scenes we do get are nothing surprising. Firstly, Catiua leaves, but this time, it's after Denam learns Prancet is still alive.

The scene of Caitua and Lanselot Tartaros, unchanged in all routes.

And lastly, the reunion before the final battle at Phidoch. It's the reversal of the Law Route scene - Oz is dead, and Ozma is alive.

Leonar isn't as quick as Denam.

The Chapter ends there, but I also did a bonus. This one is not voiced, but I included it because

I'm really fond of this scene, and

I don't like how the remake changed it.

It's after rescuing Oelias and Dievold in a town of undead.

The chapter starts off voiced. The siblings and Canopus hiding out in Port Asyton.

Next, Vyce’s ambush at Tynemouth Hill.

Then, after rescuing Folcurt and Bayin, meeting Cerya and the Valerian Liberation Front.

Cistina is missing, so I must've let her die in Chapter 1 (I actually don't remember). Folcurt speaks instead, and he is livid.

...And that's it for Ch. 2 Chaos. The end of the chapter (confrontation with Vyce, and chaos/neutral defining decision) isn't voiced.

And no, Balbatos’ execution isn’t voiced either. He’s the only clan leader without a voice actor. You suck, Balbatos.

Here's the upcoming queue. I'm gonna lock myself in to doing the whole game.

Chapter 3 Neutral

A measly 3 voiced scenes, and I've done 1 already (Catiua and Lanselot)

Chapter 3 Chaos

9 (!!) voiced scenes, so I'll post this one in parts.

Chapter 4

The newly unified Walister army plan their strategy against the overwhelming Galgastani threat. We also get this route's version of the "Catiua leaving" scene.

There's also this amazing bonus hiding in the Warren Report.

Damn. Not even Balmamusa got burned as bad as Denam just did.

Next, is Lanselot Tartaros and Catiua.

Finally, a reunion at Phidoch Castle, which is how all routes of Chapter 3 end, with slight differences.

Things just aren't going well for Oz in this version of the game. Not only is his sister dead*, but his portrait is much uglier.
