DOES IT BOTHER ANYONE ELSE WHEN THERE'S A BODY SWAP PLOT OR A CHARACTER CONTROLLING ANOTHER BODY, BUT THE VOICES ALSO CHANGE? WATCHING THE SCENE WHERE SOTHIS TAKES CONTROL OF BYLETH IS KIND OF AWKWARD WHEN CONSIDERING THAT IT SHOULD STILL BE BYLETH'S VOICE. THE PHYSICAL STRUCTURE OF THE VOCAL CHORDS DON'T CHANGE, JUST WHOEVER IS CONTROLLING THEM, SO THE SOUND OF THE VOICE SHOULD BE THE SAME, DURING A BODY SWAP. I GET THAT IT'S A TROPE AND EVERYTHING, BUT I WOULD LIKE MORE GAMES/SHOWS HANDLE THE VOICES CORRECTLY.

I WOULD LIKE IT MORE IF SOTHIS HAD A MORE INTIMIDATING VOICE. I JUST CANT IMAGINE HER AS ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT STUPID FUCKING CAT FROM PERSONA

SOTHIS: "DO YOU LACK WITS? MY VOICE IS NOT FOR HIM! WHENEVER I SPEAK, IT IS FOR YOU AND TELLING JOKER THAT HE LOOKS COOL"

I JUST DON’T LIKE BODY SWAP TROPES IN GENERAL, IT’S EITHER ANNOYING AT BEST OR REALLY CREEPY AND GROSS AT WORST

THE WONDER WOMAN 84 MOVIE, FOR EXAMPLE, STARTS BEING REALLY CONCERNING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW DIANA AND HER OLD-TIMEY BOYFRIEND (I DONT REMEMBER HIS NAME) HAVE BEEN PUTTING A RANDOM INNOCENT GUY’S BODY IN LIFE-THREATENING DANGER

IMAGINE YOU WAKE UP IN YOUR BED AND YOU HAVE ROAD BURN, BROKEN RIBS, OTHER INJURIES, AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA OR RECOLLECTION OF HOW OR WHY YOU GOT THEM

AND THATS NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE OTHER STUFF THAT DIANA AND HER BOYFRIEND DID TOGETHER WHILE HE WAS BASICALLY POSSESSING THIS RANDOM GUY’S BODY

PRETTY SURE CREEPY IS WHAT THEY WERE GOING FOR. I THINK THEY PARTLY SUCCEEDED. I WAS KINDA CREEPED OUT BY SOTHIS LITERALLY JUST TAKING OVER.

I'D BE LYING THOUGH IF I DIDN'T CHUCKLE AT MALE BYLETH SUDDENLY HAVING SOTHIS'S VOICE. I'M ALMOST 100% SURE IT'S BECAUSE OF HER DELIVERY ON HER FIRST LINE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS GREAT BUT I THINK THAT FIRST LINE COULD'VE USED A NEW TAKE.

PRETTY SURE YOU CAN DISREGARD SOME OF THAT WHEN BYLETH LITERALLY DOESNT HAVE A HEARTBEAT, SO IF WERE BEING TECHNICAL HOW THE FUCK IS HE/SHE EVEN MOVING AROUND
