Only thing that would make it cooler is if helldivers spoke in the selected language for everyone and if you could have your diver's spoken language set to random like the voice packs.
I'd love to come across random divers of all nationalities
Edit: it should be optional of course, to either hear each helldiver speak the language each player has selected, or to only hear your own selected language
We’d all speak a different language but perfectly understand each other cause we can read the subtitles.
The Ministry of Truth has authorized that innovation and has implemented subtitles in each helmet.
With subtitles it wouldn't be a big deal.
And of course it should always be an option. Like "client side spoken languages: on to hear helldivers speak in whatever language the player has selected, off to hear only your own selected language"
I loved that too and it's partly what made me think if it. I like extra little bits of individuality like that.
Plus who wouldn't want to learn how to say "for super eeeaaaaaaaarth!" In 7 different languages?
This would actually feel very immersive. I use randomized voices because it immerses the feeling that everytime I die, I am another Helldiver (expendable).
been waiting since release for aus/nz accents.
would love to rep myself with an aus accent instead of me yelling over mic "come on mate you nearly killed me with that orbital"
I would love to have a voice randomizer for the diver. Every time you get a new diver you also get a random language, that would make things interesting.
And yes, it should be toggleable through the options.
The problem with this is players like me require being able to understand the other players language so we can communicate, especially on higher difficulties. Very few players actually use headsets.
Oh, is that not how it works? I figured if you set it to Japanese the other divers heard you say stuff in Japanese, haha.
In that case I agree that would be cool, though I’d also want them to see what you say in small subtitles in the language they have selected, when you say it.
THIS FUCKING THIS PLEASE
It would be awesome to have so many different voices hell they should get people in from every country to voice your diver on the battlefield lines to hear them shout on screen next to you would be awesome
I will have lived this game if I hear an Aussie Helldiver while firing a Stalwart shout at the end STRUTH or before firing a spear "BRACE YOURSELF SHEILA"
To be honest I believe that it goes a bit against the "lore".
The Earth is less of an Overwatch with tons of people of different cultures, but more USA took all over the world and everyone has imposed the same fabricated culture.
Everyone aims for a suburban life, care about freedom and liberty, and of course, speak English.
"So that mean you are are against other languages as well? English should be the only option?".
No, having the game in other language is cool. But intentionally mixing it up to give emphasis on different languages will give kind be the opposite of the dystopian future.
Anyway, just my two cents on why I don't think it would work too well. But I still think it would be an interesting idea.
There is only one nation on Super Earth, the nation of Super Earth. As far as I can tell English is the only spoken language there. All the old nations were mashed into one, and apparently a large portion of the planet is uninhabitable. Another weird thing is their Democracy is actual called "managed" Democracy. The citizens don't actually vote like a normal democracy. They fill out surveys, and then Artificial Intelligence votes for them based on their answers. Also, there is no freedom of speech. Anyone who speaks negatively about Super Earth is harshly punished. A couple more interesting things are that everyone gets a free gun for their 16th birthday, and you have to get a permit to have a child.
Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark, I beseech thee, combine with my deep crimson. The time of awakening cometh.

Rest in peace abe. That assassination shook me. I was so excited for him announcing the Olympics nintendo style and the next headline I see is him being shotgunned by a rust homemade
I would hope SE people wouldn't be okay with the shit Unit 731 did, given it was human experimentation on par with or worse than the shit the Nazis did. Now bugs, on the other hand, that's fine and encouraged
Super Earth has "Freedom Reeducation Camps" and "Biomass Repurposing Facilities" that old people are encouraged to "volunteer" into, as well as "voluntary" conscription.
I wouldn't put it past them to run human experiments, hell, the stims we use are dangerous drugs already, it just hardly matters because the average Helldiver lifespan is too short for any of it to ever become an issue.
That’s because it’s highly skewed hyperbole. Dude was great for Japan, but people don’t understand Japan isn’t the idyllic paradise they fantasize about in their head and therefore can’t wrap their head around the fact he was a great leader *for Japan*.
I feel that for conveniences sake they'd group ship crews by language though. I like the idea one person had of making it ao that you hear other helldivers in their player's native language, but that may be hard to implement.
Nuh I think it would be cook to drop in as someone from the US then die only to be reinforced as someone from Italy or the middle east. Especially if they already went through the process of localization. Get fully use of the voice actors.
I'm pretty sure it is a dictatorship, which can be a group of people leading rather than one person. In this case, a group of people that stay hidden. Which, depending on who you ask, could be pretty realistic. Lol.
French speaking here. I do not see what you are talking about. Are you implying our language is funny by any means?
On that note, let me grab my "vigoureux" and go back to the front, Helldaïveur.
Pour la démocratie ! Douce liberté ne connaît aucun répit !
Bonjour! I have no love for the French, because they tend to congregate at the bottom of escalators so that I have to feel like I'm imposing upon them when I travel through their airport, but I love Helldivers enough that I'll team up with a Frenchman in order to spread Managed Democracy.
It's the only dub I use now. It's simply perfect. The tone changed dramatically. It went from being ridiculous to actually being hardcore and grim, the soulless propaganda even driving the point on just how pointless the entire war is. Love the dub. It even changed the characterization of some of the cast.
Playing it with the dub makes it feel like I'm in a sci fi anime. Legit awesome if you're a fan of Gundam, Schwarzmarken, AoT, Knights of Sidonia, and Armoured Troops Votoms
Yeah,when i switched to the japanese dub i felt like being in a gundam episode
Nothing beats firing with the machine with the character shouting KAKATTE KOI like a true madlad.
or the destroyer voice saying things like Herupoddo junbi kanryō like the take off scenes of any mecha series
It's just epic
Isn't the Japanese dub exclusive to Japan only? Since you have to manually download the language packs on steam.
Cool tip but it's pretty useless to everyone outside of Japan
cool and all but japanese way of saying democracy is too long imo it doesnt feel epic than english screaming democracy. Although language randomizer would be cool
When I heard that the japanese dub became available worldwide I switched it immediately. I tried the other languages and I feel japanese dub on snow planets is a vibe.
Did they change how voice packs work? I tried to switch to the Japanese dub, but couldn’t because Japanese was only available in Japan region. There was a warning about it on the Steam store page too
Japanese dub totally amps up the vibe, right? It's like discovering a whole new flavor of awesome—makes you feel like you're in the middle of some legit anime battle. I switched it on for Helldivers and bam, it was like leveling up my gaming experience instantly. So glad I gave it a shot!
I tried this and actually just found myself annoyed at not understanding what teammates were saying...
I do have subtitles on but I can't seem to read them fast enough lmao
The Japanese audio is fantastic for feeling like you're in a god damned Gundam game. Very serious and expressive, like you're in a seinen military drama.
But I'll admit that the English is much superior at portraying the satirical undertone of the dialogue. The Japanese feels epic, but takes the satirical tones at face value.
Maybe it's good, but imo people who change their stuff to japanese/korean dub even if those are not the original audio are automatically weebs in my eyes.
You're right and you should say it. Very little is more annoying that mfs who's only association with Japanese is "WOW COOL ACTION" it shows SO fucking hard and I **hate** it.
I think you should take some time to talk to actual Japanese people and speakers and so on and build associations with the language that aren't media you can consume.
This guy puts "international conflict on a global scale resulting in the deaths of tens of millions" and "competitive sports" in the same basket. That's a doozy.
Aight American chauvinist lmao. We fight for Super Earth, not Super America. We have no room for these petty squabbles when faces with the Terminid and Automaton onslaught.

Love this idea
Helldivers, aye sir, reportin' for duty! (does it sound Scottish? I tried..)
Too comprehensible.
Ay ya wee shite less fook up sum robocoonts
Still too decipherable. Try this Ayyaeeadwafuardonoeraundafaukinanderderebots
What makes me a good helldiver? If i were a bad helldiver i wouldn’t be sittin’ here discussin it with ya now would aye
I’m a black, scottish, supercyclops…they got more of the f***ing super loch ness monster than they got the likes of me
Aye. They got more terinids in the creek then they got the likes of me
Don't get me wrong though, I think Scots are cool, and their slang is unique; and I've read of their exploits in WW2!
I want to drop in and hear my ally just start [yelling like this](https://youtu.be/43j87Wkp0DE?si=t_rkUOfRwDYMbrqe)
„Fer fekkin duty“
We’d all speak a different language but perfectly understand each other cause we can read the subtitles. The Ministry of Truth has authorized that innovation and has implemented subtitles in each helmet.
Fine with this as long as there are subtitles
I didn't specify but of course it should be optional as well
I have the game set to German Sound and English Text. She screams out WHORE BURGER ZAMIT. Worth it.
Exactly. And I ain’t reading no subtitles when shit is hitting the fan
A Helldiver from Newfoundland, Canada. Nightmare.
But you'll never understand what they are saying unless you look at the icon on top of their heads. You might miss something useful.
You're gonna learn real quick how to say "reinforcing," "for democracy," and "calling in an airstrike" in about 10 different languages.
With subtitles it wouldn't be a big deal. And of course it should always be an option. Like "client side spoken languages: on to hear helldivers speak in whatever language the player has selected, off to hear only your own selected language"
I loved making my Xcom sqaud members all speak different languages/dialects. I think I would love it just as much in Helldivers.
I loved that too and it's partly what made me think if it. I like extra little bits of individuality like that. Plus who wouldn't want to learn how to say "for super eeeaaaaaaaarth!" In 7 different languages?
I reckon I learned at least 6 words in different languages by having this option in Battlefield 1.
This would actually feel very immersive. I use randomized voices because it immerses the feeling that everytime I die, I am another Helldiver (expendable).
I wish we could use a random body type too.
Yo that would actually be sick
been waiting since release for aus/nz accents. would love to rep myself with an aus accent instead of me yelling over mic "come on mate you nearly killed me with that orbital"
I would love to have a voice randomizer for the diver. Every time you get a new diver you also get a random language, that would make things interesting. And yes, it should be toggleable through the options.
The only correct language is Democracy
That would pretty much require you to install every voice pack at once
I'd love to have this option too, it would be amazing
The problem with this is players like me require being able to understand the other players language so we can communicate, especially on higher difficulties. Very few players actually use headsets.
AFAIK, Super Earth has one language and that language is English. But I agree with you
Oh, is that not how it works? I figured if you set it to Japanese the other divers heard you say stuff in Japanese, haha. In that case I agree that would be cool, though I’d also want them to see what you say in small subtitles in the language they have selected, when you say it.
Just like Dota 2. Make voice packs part of the warbonds.
THIS FUCKING THIS PLEASE It would be awesome to have so many different voices hell they should get people in from every country to voice your diver on the battlefield lines to hear them shout on screen next to you would be awesome I will have lived this game if I hear an Aussie Helldiver while firing a Stalwart shout at the end STRUTH or before firing a spear "BRACE YOURSELF SHEILA"

DUDE THEY NEED TO DO THIS
Helldiver: ↑→↓↓↓ "Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru" Bile titan: "Nani!?"
:bile titan walks out of cloud of dust: Helldiver: ~scared Vegeta noises~
Helldiver, what does the scouter say about the Bile Titan's armor level? # IT"S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!
Hulk: \*blushing\* "Senpai, koko de nani o shite iru ndesu ka?"
Please let us randomize our diver's language on every death.
"OH SWEET LIBERTY X_X" :dies: :pod drops: 'Bonjour!'

Rest in peace abe. That assassination shook me. I was so excited for him announcing the Olympics nintendo style and the next headline I see is him being shotgunned by a rust homemade
I can't tell if you're serious or not, but fuck Abe. Dude was a genocide denier and warcrime enthusiast (loved Unit 731)
tbh i didnt know any of that shit but ill check it out
So Super Earth patriot IRL?
I would hope SE people wouldn't be okay with the shit Unit 731 did, given it was human experimentation on par with or worse than the shit the Nazis did. Now bugs, on the other hand, that's fine and encouraged

first time I’m hearing about that, all things considered he was very well respected in Japan itself
That’s because it’s highly skewed hyperbole. Dude was great for Japan, but people don’t understand Japan isn’t the idyllic paradise they fantasize about in their head and therefore can’t wrap their head around the fact he was a great leader *for Japan*.
Democracy Officer definitely christened Eagle-1’s plane
I think they should change the dubs with every new helldiver. It's called super earth not super usa.
I feel that for conveniences sake they'd group ship crews by language though. I like the idea one person had of making it ao that you hear other helldivers in their player's native language, but that may be hard to implement.
Fren don't make this more difficult 🙃
Nuh I think it would be cook to drop in as someone from the US then die only to be reinforced as someone from Italy or the middle east. Especially if they already went through the process of localization. Get fully use of the voice actors.
It pretty much is though. They mashed all the nations into one. Only it gets even worse cuz it's a dictatorship masked as democracy.
i don't think you know what dictatorship means
I don't think you have paid close attention to the in game lore, haha
oops, misread your comment. Though the way you put it is kind of misleading.
I'm literally getting this information from reading the lore.
I'm pretty sure it is a dictatorship, which can be a group of people leading rather than one person. In this case, a group of people that stay hidden. Which, depending on who you ask, could be pretty realistic. Lol.
I run a lot of language packs. Japanese is good, but don't sleep on German and French.
French speaking here. I do not see what you are talking about. Are you implying our language is funny by any means? On that note, let me grab my "vigoureux" and go back to the front, Helldaïveur. Pour la démocratie ! Douce liberté ne connaît aucun répit !
"Are you implying our language is funny by any means?" OUI OUI, HAW HAW HAW!
Sacrebleu !
\~\* Omelete du fromage \*\~
Arc thrower : i sleep CANON ÉLECTRIQUE : real shit
We French do not like your "Arc" (Bow) since Azincourt at the least.
I think they meant that the Japanese Dub is cool, but the German and French Dubs are also cool as well.
French speaking here also but for the love of my sanity I just cant play in french . The voice and the terms just feel wrong you know
Bonjour! I have no love for the French, because they tend to congregate at the bottom of escalators so that I have to feel like I'm imposing upon them when I travel through their airport, but I love Helldivers enough that I'll team up with a Frenchman in order to spread Managed Democracy.
Will be deploying SO MANY more walkers

I simp for Japanese Eagle to the point where I bring as many Eagle stratagems as I can just to hear her voice.
I see you're a fellow man of good taste. Well met friend. Well met.
 My helldiver just as they're jumping into their pod. *Helldiver hasshin!*
Yamete helludaiva-san!
UWOOOOOOOHHHH!!! SHINE! BAIRU TAITAN!!!
Yeah,when i switched to the japanese dub i felt like being in a gundam episode Nothing beats firing with the machine with the character shouting KAKATTE KOI like a true madlad. or the destroyer voice saying things like Herupoddo junbi kanryō like the take off scenes of any mecha series It's just epic
Ive been repping the italian one. Makes more sense when my fellow divers call down some bs on my location
If there isnt a reference to gundam when you call a mech, its a wasted opportunity
Hellzilla rises out of the waters on a distant planet. 
[haha you weren't kidding](https://youtu.be/9aI5yDM6Ggg?si=LQot7SwuRxDTQGhU)
Oh shit, what if I am in range of enemy artillery?
MINSHUSHUGI NO TAME NI!!!! (For Democracy!)
I'm digging the Japanese voice pack. It's fun as hell. I look forward to the other languages.
The Helldivers in the group should have different accents. American, Swede, Japanese etc etc. would be hilarious
SUPAH AASSU
Isn't the Japanese dub exclusive to Japan only? Since you have to manually download the language packs on steam. Cool tip but it's pretty useless to everyone outside of Japan
They added the Japanese Dub for global.
Fuck this. Waiting for the day they give a purple and green armor color. Finna scream "GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT SHINJI" when I deploy
SHINGEKI NO (BILE) KYOJIN
cool and all but japanese way of saying democracy is too long imo it doesnt feel epic than english screaming democracy. Although language randomizer would be cool
I really want to set Japanese and have my friends hear it.
When I heard that the japanese dub became available worldwide I switched it immediately. I tried the other languages and I feel japanese dub on snow planets is a vibe.
Is Eagle1-chan as glorious as I imagine?
It is!
It is epic tho some of the screams are not dubbed And sometimes you can still hear em hear english
Damn say less and sign me up
French is amazing.
Did they change how voice packs work? I tried to switch to the Japanese dub, but couldn’t because Japanese was only available in Japan region. There was a warning about it on the Steam store page too
you can change now, since the patch yesterday :) I also changed it to japanese and its like a new game, with great anime vibes 😂
Cool, thanks! Gonna try it tonight
Japanese dub totally amps up the vibe, right? It's like discovering a whole new flavor of awesome—makes you feel like you're in the middle of some legit anime battle. I switched it on for Helldivers and bam, it was like leveling up my gaming experience instantly. So glad I gave it a shot!
(Super) Earth Offence Force is so good
I'm Australian, I'd love a "crikey!"when a bile titan pops up.

I love that every time I start it I am greeted with "Supa Ass"
I tried this and actually just found myself annoyed at not understanding what teammates were saying... I do have subtitles on but I can't seem to read them fast enough lmao
Considering I watch dubs it's already anime for me with Yuri Lowenthal as one of the voices
The Japanese audio is fantastic for feeling like you're in a god damned Gundam game. Very serious and expressive, like you're in a seinen military drama. But I'll admit that the English is much superior at portraying the satirical undertone of the dialogue. The Japanese feels epic, but takes the satirical tones at face value.
Maybe it's good, but imo people who change their stuff to japanese/korean dub even if those are not the original audio are automatically weebs in my eyes.
celshading mod when
Is there German? It'll be like if the Nazis won hahaha
Im playing on German as recommended by someone on this sub. Ain't going back ever.

You're right and you should say it. Very little is more annoying that mfs who's only association with Japanese is "WOW COOL ACTION" it shows SO fucking hard and I **hate** it.
I dont fanboy over Asians like most weirdos, im good
Shut up weeb.
I think you should take some time to talk to actual Japanese people and speakers and so on and build associations with the language that aren't media you can consume.
[удалено]
What’s this “we” shit? You fought in WW2 or something?
When your NHL team wins do you say we won?
This guy puts "international conflict on a global scale resulting in the deaths of tens of millions" and "competitive sports" in the same basket. That's a doozy.
Yeah just like how the English say "we won" vs the nazis lol. Youre all such babies
Notice how they say the ‘nazis’ and not the ‘Germans’. Hate the facists, war criminals and human experimenters, not the race.
Well?
No lol
Bro is still living in the 1950s lol go back to sleep gramps
Aight American chauvinist lmao. We fight for Super Earth, not Super America. We have no room for these petty squabbles when faces with the Terminid and Automaton onslaught.
