Recently, the official team for the otome game 'For All Time' released a statement regarding the voice acting for the character Ye Xuan. Since August 2022, the original voice actor, Jiang Guangtao (often referred to by the community handle 'Jiang Shui'), has been unable to participate in recording sessions. In response, the development team collaborated with NetEase's AI lab to develop a dedicated AI voice model.
The developers emphasized that this new technical solution not only improves upon the stiff nature of their earlier AI attempts but also holds independent intellectual property rights. The model has already been implemented in several recent updates, with plans to gradually phase out the initial, lower-quality AI voice clips. Essentially, the studio has chosen to 'keep the character' by leveraging deep learning technology to sustain the specific vocal style.
This announcement triggered a community-wide audit of how other otome games handle similar crises. According to players, strategies vary widely: titles like 'Tears of Themis' have opted for 'Entropy AI' technology; others like 'Black Cat Mystery Club' have simply recast the roles; meanwhile, several games remain silent, either leaving voice tracks missing or hiding CV credits altogether.
The response in the community has been mixed. Some fans jokingly remark that this finally makes the characters 'pure 2D entities,' while others express curiosity about how such AI voices will handle live-streamed anniversary events. Naturally, skepticism remains regarding the quality of the AI output, and some users have raised legal questions regarding the copyright implications of using an AI trained on a specific actor's voice.
