Nope, even tho the game is french, the original is English and French is a dub. They even splurged for well known/good english voice actors. But french dub is also good, so you can go for it if you want. Try both for a few minutes and decide which one you want, I guess?

    Akshully both are dubs, but the script and mocap sessions were done in English. On top of that the French dub was outsourced and the game director and lead writer weren't in the studio like for the English dub, and it shows IMO. Some French lines clearly don't have the same level of direction as the "canonical" dub.

    However I will say it's still a better dub than most French dubs. I'd argue the bar is on the floor but the francophone dubbing lobby would draw and quarter me for holding such heretic opinions.

    I've had very little luck with playing games in French lately, recent dubs I've tried all sound like poorly acted téléfilms imo...
    That's a shame, because both Plague Tale games, as well as E33 might (could) sound much better in French, but I can't get past the way VA is done when compared to their English counterpart.
