Recently, the official team behind NetEase’s otome game 'For All Time' announced a groundbreaking (and controversial) strategy to handle the absence of Jiang Guangtao, the voice actor for the fan-favorite character Ye Xuan. The solution? Extracting Ye Xuan's existing vocal patterns to create an AI-synthesized voice for all new game content.
To showcase this 'technological marvel,' the developers uploaded a demonstration video on Bilibili. The community's response has been mixed and intense. Some players are stunned by the sheer power of this 'Cyber Voice Actor' technology. Others are skeptical, viewing it as a stop-gap measure to avoid the backlash of recasting—a major taboo in the otome gaming community. The discussion has also shifted toward the ethical and legal implications, specifically questioning whether the developers need to pay royalties to the original talent agency for the use of the 'voice print'.
As users noted in the comments, this raises a bigger question: is this the beginning of the end for human voice actors, or simply a clever workaround to keep the narrative moving?
