[@Mangs1337]

It's not perfect by any means, but this was done in roughly 15 minutes. Had I taken more time, I could have made the scenes feel like they were voiced by real humans. This is actually incredible, while it would take a very long time to do, we could in theory add voice acting to all the older Fire Emblem games (as long as the playable units are in Heroes).

[@ChacaPleto]

This is marvelous! What AI did you use?

[@EnaSong]

I find this incredible and it opens up a lot of doors self-made content, but as an aspiring voice actor who once wanted to voice some of these characters myself I'm in two halves about what this sort of thing is capable of doing in the future. Still amazing though... I'm surprised just how smooth it is and un-ai like as it were.

[@EleanorDrapeaux]

You could even guess what the ones that aren't would sound like and use a similar voice of someone from a different game (so that it wouldn't sound the same as another character in the same game)

[@kanrakucheese]

If the AI you used doesn't require transcriptions of the data set, try it with the Japanese voices. I've been pleasantly surprised by models trained on Japanese voices used for English dialog.

[@fernandod4046]

Only 15 minutes? Wow

[@variareaver4658]

I like how the AI decided to copy Lyn’s mic quality too.

[@megamanzero29]

How an AI could produce something THIS accurate is incredible

[@haunterghostpoison4651]

Forreal, I could never pronounce lycia and sacea correctly without the voice actors from FEH saying it first

[@TheCrossKnight]

[@FlierEmblem_]

All this accomplished was making me want voice acted GBA FE remakes

[@RexZShadow]

Voice acting was like the single great edition to FE with Three Houses. I never really cared too much for support (mostly because they were pain in the ass to get back in GBA) but god damn having it all voiced make me care so much more about all the characters.

EVERY GAME can be voice acted now, and crappy remakes or bad localisations that change lines of dialogue for "modern audiences" can now be fixed, the options man, think of the options

This is so cool!! Sain's voice sounds really really great for the first bit here!

[@Dingg00se]

[@nahruz.w3044]

Holy lets go, AI is going up and up. We encounter goldmine every single day. This could be another branch of for a series of meme and genre. Love the voices in here!

[@Wasdye]

Outside of a few awkward pauses here and there it actually sounds really good Inb4 someone uses this for a fan-made FE7 remake of sorts

[@ninjaydes]

The classic line/meme "Ah, Kent! My boon companion! Why so severe an expression?" was delivered surprisingly well.

That is way better than I thought it would be. AI is really going to be going places in the future.

This is actually pretty good, now I want that remake

[@jacobdagun3670]

One one hand this is really cool and I do like it. On the other hand, this technology is a little intimidating how far it's come. I hope voice actors don't lose their jobs to AI.

[@MrLeyr]

Yeah, it's a fine line to tread. Unfortunately it's a conversation that's being had in all sorts of industries where AI is being introduced. It doesn't help that people are so impressed with the results that they aren't considering the ethics. I just read a comment that suggested using dead people's voices without skipping a beat, so I think it's something that really needs to be addressed.

[@Mike-rn1qt]

Very cool! What did you use to generate this? Eleven labs?

[@Mangs1337]

Yep!

This is one of the uses for this technology I am most excited about. Think how many more games will be able to be fully voice acted, and sound pretty good on top of it! Especially for independent developers this is a game changer.

[@satansgalaxy1472]

Dude that felt so surreal it was really fuckin amazing especially since thins was my first fire emblem oooo how it would be cool to get a well done remake

[@LightKing1237]

this was genuinely good

[@sunkeyavad6528]

Considering how little the AI probably had to go off that's very good. With more lines and improved AI later on, it could probably be even better.

[@TheUltimateSpankston]

Sain the Rizz Knight in HD

[@BlackMercura]

This is so cool! Legit sounds like real voice acting. This should be done for Pokemon too :)

[@ForbiddenOdyssey]

I need a whole rom hack that just adds the voices now my first fire emblem I played was 7 when I was a kid and this would hit me in the feels to relive this amazing game with voices.

[@TheAgentGold]

This is cool. It's a smidgen rough, where some inflections don't seem right and proper names aren't pronounced consistently (though the same character never pronounces it two different ways, so that's actually believable). The fact that it can be this good in 15 minutes is _really_ impressive, even in spite of the flaws! You can only imagine how far this can go with some dedicated effort...

[@Gatchaman2154]

Impressive. Now do it with Sacred Stones. I wanna hear Eirika's dialogues with Kira Buckland's voice.

[@bomberman631]

[@nonotheteddybear1525]

We need to petition Mangs to make a romhack patch that puts the AI voice acting in any and all of the GBA FE's that are playable and/or have voices in any of the titles that have voice acting.

[@carlossolis3547]

That sounds like voice actors actually saying the lines, incredible!

[@sunkeyavad6528]

All 3 of those sound great. I even like Lyn's slightly off audio quality. Adds its own charm and fits the old game graphics well.

[@GarageGamere]

Do the whole fe 7 that would be awesome

[@jeromeheramis2932]

Kent sounds more like Roy here... anyway awesome job for this.

[@TheCommentGuy8]

I think it is incredible that we've come so far in our society that we can have AI voice act in old games that didn't allow it. But unfortunately, AI voices can't yet capture human emotions and reactions. I've also seen people use AI voice acting for JoJo's all-star battle. Anyway, this was very interesting, in my opinion. Keep it up. Would you make more "I used AI to voice act..." Fire Emblem or games or/and anime that never got dubbed? Don't have to be full episodes, certain scenes are fine.

[@Donlot_]

Lyn sounds somewhat believable, but Sain and Kent sound NOTHING like i imaged they would

[@professorlemon4386]

Now I just want to fe7 with voice lines. I love how the ai somehow nailed the tone of lyn’s insult

[@TKHedgeHog]

Sain sounds awesome, This technology terrifies me at the same time.

[@Trades46]

Lyn and Sain sound bang on, but Kent sounds FAR more youthful than I would have imagined.

[@MrMiarne]

This being an older game does also both cover up and excuse the "robotic" effect of the voices! This could actually turn out fantastic, the only issue would be something that requires a lot of expression, such as screaming. That's always hard.

[@wyvernJC]

Can You make more with more epic Moments from the games? This is fun!

@@sootythunder3111 At that point, we're basically imagining a human storyteller who can work with you 24/7. Of course, a mind who's just as capable as a human is just as dangerous as a human. What lengths will it go to to give you your perfect story?

[@sootythunder3111]

@@General12th well ultimately that would come down to if there is an intended script for a structured story. If it was say a final fantasy game where it’s a character driven story that explores interpersonal relationships it would be far more linear, that being said if it was a sandbox environment say something like Skyrim it would be much more free flowing, for instance you might heavily favor the vampires of castle Volikhar completely ignoring the civil war and the main story, you might see a scenario play out where the AI script writer sees you having vampire feed all across Skyrim that it decides that the volkihar vampires have become such a persistent threat in Skyrim that it puts a hold on the civil war were the stormcloaks and imperials agree to a cease fire until the vampire threat is eradicated much like what happens in vanilla Skyrim if you don’t side with 1 of them before fighting Alduin However it is completely reactive

It was trained in 15 minutes. The point isn't that the voice acting is particularly good. Its that with only 15 minutes and whatever minimum sound files Fire Emblem Heroes had, the AI can already sound human. Give it more time and more voicework and it will sound like a convincing person.
