Hi lulu, so i was wondering if have you played Far cry new dawn in French, does roger talk in another idiom?

In spanish he stills talk in french

Hi! Yes, I played New Dawn in French and Roger has the same Québécois accent he has in English. It even seems he’s played by the same actor, Vincent Leclerc, whose name appears among the other French voice talents in the credits.

As for some of the (Canadian) French words he uses, such as “osti”, “tabarnak”, or “caulisse”, they’re typical slang/swear words from Québec that we don’t use in France, so they kept them in the French version and they sound as funny and exotic as they do in English.

It’s rare that Far Cry characters who speak with a non-American accent end up also having an accent in the French version of the game, but Roger thankfully kept his!

#it’s a good question because yeah sometimes they have to use another language #like in the film 'ghost dog: the way of the samurai' the character played by isaach de bankolé speaks french but no one understands him #they had to change that in the french version so he speaks an african language called yoruba instead #the actor is fluent in it because from what I’ve read it’s his parents’ native language #many french characters in disney movies have an italian accent in france #and the ‘'mi casa' is french for 'front door'’ joke in big hero 6 became ‘'mi casa' means 'door' in german’ in the french version #also I’ve recently realized they switched to english much earlier in the original intro scene of inglourious basterds #in the french version it’s only when landa is lighting his pipe that he suggests they continue the conversation in english #then in the film all english-speaking characters talk in french but french people also still speak french haha #far cry new dawn #roger cadoret #I watched a bit of spanish roger and while he does use canadian french words it didn’t sound like he had an accent to me #I may be wrong though #I also watched a bit of roger in the other languages and here’s what I found #german: french accent and words #italian: no french word or accent #japanese: no french accent and probably no words (I’m not sure)#russian: no accent (I think) but french words
