Assassin's Creed Mirage English vs Arabic Language Dub Comparison

[@Mychannelbandung]

Playing AC Mirage in arabic is like playing ghost of tsushima in japanese, it is a must

[@mjmohammed3491]

Oh yeah

[@sergiosimbula]

Agree! Yet I believe almost nobody does it.

[@Malva_Studio]

The difference is, when I tried Italian in Ezio Trilogy and French in Unity, I paid too much attention to the subtitles until I missed out many other things on the screen. For Ghost of Tsushima however, I did play it in Japanese. Due to my experience from watching anime, I could understand most of the dialogues without looking at the subtitles.

[@sergiosimbula]

@@Malva_Studio ah yes I get that . GOT in Japanese was one of the most immersive gaming experiences for me though.

I'm bangali but i was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. So listening characters talk Arabic in a game is a joy for me after a long time of not listening to any Arabic. Listening to these voice actors talk reminds me of old Arabic cartoons that i used to watch when i was young which sometimes break the immersion. But I'm not complaining, i love Arabic and I'm gonna finish this game in Arabic ❤

للعرب الذين يقولون ان اللهجة العراقية افضل من الفصحى ، فهذا غير صحيح لو كانت كذلك لما جعل الله كتابة الكريم بالفصحى و هي اقوى بالمعنى و البلاغة من اللهجات الأخرى ، و تاريخياً كان كل عرب الجزيرة و بلاد الرافدين و الشام في تلك الحقبة يتحدثون بالفصحى مع اختلافات بسيطة تكاد لا تذكر.

english has better direction, arabic has better authenticity

[@thegoldenboah3343]

now wtf does that even mean ??

[@aname5078]

The Arabic is really bad. It probably only sounds good for non Arabic speakers. Because they are speaking in Classical Arabic but if you know anything about Arabic is that speaking Classical Arabic speaking it is big no no. It’s only for books, news and mails. And make you sound like someone who just started learning Arabic. The game should have an Iraqi dialect not classical.

[@TuneTamasha]

it means that the voice director did a better job in english with the english cast which had more experience thus sounding better, but arabic is more authentic due to setting despite sounding less professional@@thegoldenboah3343

is it really fusha? i expected old arabic or gulf dialect @@aname5078

[@mnc221]

@@aname5078 But doesn't that add to the authenticity, considering the time of which the game was set, classical Arabic was the dialect which was spoken?

As an Arab, this puts a smile on my face!

[@bqaswara]

شعور جميل يجعلنا كعرب نفتخر 😊😄

[@citizenterra]

As someone who understands Arabic, I'm happy that they made this version, I'm also happy that people are enjoying it But as a speaker of the language, it's very annoying simply because it seems that they chose some people who have little to no experience in voice acting. It seems so from what I heard in this video at least Some of them sound like they're acting in an Arabic childrens cartoon rather than real actors acting in a movie. A little bit cringy to me at some points It sounds like they are trying to get through their lines as fast as possible and are not well versed in expressing emotions in their voice well

[@GamerTweakTv]

thanks for your insight!

[@dhman_bey6530]

exactly what i thought, i just bought the game and wanted to choose arabic, so i came to see if its any good but unfortunately its not, i hate that they made it in فصحى, they should’ve chosen a better voice actors and made it in an iraqi accent

[@citizenterra]

@@dhman_bey6530 I don't mind fusha, it is appropriate for the time period (set in 861) But i do mind a bit that it's not proper fusha pronunciation at times, its immersion breaking. But what I mostly mind that the voice acting seems a bit unprofessional, lacking in direction and emotional depth and character (at least from these clips shown here, I don't know if its better in the game).

[@zaccheusanton9470]

I have no idea what you're talking about the fusha seems perfect in this game. Can you point out instances where they made a mistake?

[@YaGars]

i agree but i think it's still better than the horrible english version

[@RS1Interviews]

I don't speak Arabic, but after an hour in the game i switched the spoken language to Arabic. Many Arabics here say they shouldn't've used Classic Arabic, but it's the language of the Qur'an and was spoken from the 7th to the 9th century, exactly when AC Mirage is taking place in. So i think the reason it sounds weird for Arabic speaking people, is that the voice actors are also not used to speaking it, so it sounds more like they're reading a script, in stead of how they would say it themselves in a real situation. Anyway, in this case, it doesn't bother me since i (sadly) don't speak Arabic.

[@SulemanImran]

Same with me and I completely agree. But regardless in Arabic the game is so much more mesmerising❤

[@TheFirstAtom]

Don’t understand a lick of Arabic, but I can’t image the cast of mirage without it lmao

[@MenagerieOfMadness501]

Maybe it’s just me but English Basim seems like young Ezio or Arno whereas Arabic Basim feels more like Connor or Bayek

[@mercenarydelta7351]

I think it's because English Basim has that youthful tone in his voice, like young Ezio or Arno, while Arabic Basim has both an authentic accent (like Connor when speaking his native tongue) and a gravely, rough voice (like Bayek).

[@bqaswara]

@@mercenarydelta7351 اظن انك محق ، فهذا سبب منطقى 😄

played it in arabic it is just wow. Abbassids spoke classical arabic and not the modern iraqui jargon. So props to them to sticking to history. And everything is beautiful in arabic. Its wayyyy better than english or french.

[@DaredevilX90]

You're wrong, just as in modern day Baghdad, classical Arabic, was used in official documents, poetry, philosophy, and other intellectual pursuits. While dialects of Arabic were spoken in everyday life.

[@johanliebert8652]

@@DaredevilX90 true. During the Abbasid Caliphate, especially in its capital, Baghdad (founded in 762 CE), classical Arabic was indeed used for official, intellectual, and literary purposes. It was the language of administration, scholarship, philosophy, poetry, and religious discourse. The Abbasid period is often considered the golden age of Islamic civilization, and Baghdad was a center for intellectual pursuits. Classical Arabic (or fus'ha) was the language used in written documents, such as government records, scientific treatises, philosophical works, and religious texts, including the Qur'an. Scholars like Al-Farabi, Al-Kindi, and Ibn Sina (Avicenna) wrote their works in classical Arabic, contributing to fields like philosophy, medicine, and astronomy. At the same time, people in everyday life spoke various dialects of Arabic. These dialects would have differed based on region and social class. The vernacular Arabic of daily life was distinct from the highly formalized classical Arabic of written culture. This kind of linguistic situation, where one form of a language is used for formal writing and another for everyday conversation, is known as "diglossia," which continues in the Arab world today. It is the same of all assassins creed games. No-one complained about assassins creed unity tho, even tho the French used, is the standard one and not the weird ass accent of that time.

[@farahh6703]

They made a good choice for choosing classic Arabic, besides the chose the best expression in Arabic with very deep meaning classic Arabic is very deep language

[@donniex509]

As a native Arabic speaker and a voice artist, the Arabic VO in this game ranges between 6 to 8 out of 10 depending on the scene, but to non natives, I bet it will always sound like an 8 or 9 out of 10 to them so yeah it's basically like playing GOT in Japanese which I enjoyed a lot and didn't like the English Dub.

[@Oh_DeER_1_1o1_1]

Me ha gustado más en árabe: algo en las voces en ingles no me suena correcto con el juego (en árabe lo he disfrutado más , no entiendo nada de lo que dicen, soy fluido en ingles, pero cuando uno viene del mundo hispano se acostumbra a los subtítulos)

Никогда не любила английскую озвучку в играх Юбисофт(зачастую из-за сильного французского акцента). Из-за того что не было русской озвучки - играла пролог на английском, правда потом сразу на арабскую переключила. Голоса мне больше нравятся. 😂

I honestly feel like to me, I like the youthful tone in the English dub while in the Arab it sounds like Basim is twice his age. I feel like they should’ve chosen a different voice actor for when he was younger. The Arab voice actor would’ve been nice in Valhalla because it would reflect Basim’s age at that point

[@mahmoodali2437]

I genuinely hate it when the English dub mixes Arabic in its sentences when it’s not necessary. I’d rather hear AC1 dialogue over this shit. But at least we have the Arabic dub, maybe it’s formal Arabic, but it’s still better than the English IMO.

The Arabic is really bad……. Like come on I know Ubisoft has a lot of Arab developers it shouldn’t be this bad. This probably sounds good only for people who don’t know or speak Arabic. Because they are using “fusha” Classical Arabic no one speaks Classical Arabic it’s not spoken language it’s only for books, formal mails and news. They should have used Iraqi Arabic…..but even if they used different dialect it would have still been better than using classical……..

[@RS1Interviews]

Het is een interessant punt van discussie. De keuze van taal in historische of culturele reproducties kan complex zijn vanwege de vele factoren die spelen in linguïstische evolutie en regionale dialecten. Hier zijn enkele inzichten gebaseerd op historische en linguïstische contexten: 1. **Klassiek Arabisch en Modern Standaard Arabisch**: - Klassiek Arabisch is de taal van de Koran en werd gebruikt van de 7e tot de 9e eeuw, ongeveer rond de tijd waarin Assassin's Creed: Mirage is gesitueerd. Modern Standaard Arabisch is in veel opzichten afgeleid van Klassiek Arabisch en wordt tegenwoordig gebruikt in formele settings zoals literatuur, nieuwsuitzendingen en in het onderwijs. 2. **Dialecten**: - Arabische dialecten hebben een lange geschiedenis en zijn vaak sterk regionaal. In de tijd van de Abbasiden was het Arabisch de dominante taal, maar er zouden zeker regionale variaties zijn geweest. 3. **Irakees Arabisch**: - Irakees Arabisch is een verzameling van dialecten gesproken in het moderne Irak. Hoewel het moderne land Irak toen niet bestond, was het gebied bekend als Mesopotamië en was het een belangrijk cultureel en politiek centrum tijdens het Abbasidische Kalifaat. 4. **Abbasidische Periode**: - Tijdens de Abbasidische periode (750-1258 n.Chr.) werd Bagdad een belangrijk centrum van leren en cultuur. Het is waarschijnlijk dat Klassiek Arabisch de lingua franca was van het hof en de geleerde elite, terwijl lokale dialecten mogelijk door de algemene bevolking werden gesproken. 5. **Representatie in het spel**: - Het gebruik van Klassiek Arabisch in Assassin's Creed: Mirage zou een poging kunnen zijn om een ​​historisch authentieke ervaring te creëren, hoewel het gebruik van een regionaal dialect zoals Irakees Arabisch misschien een meer realistische weergave zou zijn van de gesproken taal onder de algemene bevolking. Het is altijd een uitdaging voor makers om een balans te vinden tussen historische nauwkeurigheid en speelbaarheid of begrip, vooral in een medium zoals videogames dat zich richt op een breed en divers publiek.
