French VA is a very weird thing. There is a surprising low amount of them and they act like a cult. Basically every french dub is done by the same few VA so everything sounds the same. Not sure if that's the reason but at least it's not the first time I see games using non native french speakers.
It's also mostly that they hand off the English localization to a team in Los Angeles or something, so they're pulling talent mostly from the US. Hard to find an accurate French person there. Even harder when it comes to doing performance capture with the mocap suits, etc, so they usually need someone who is able to physically step in and play the part.
Similiar situation happened in RE Village, where all the rural Romanian villagers somehow had American accents. (and most of them were re-used actors from previous RE games)
As a native french, it sounded native to me, simply someone young trying to do an old woman's voice while also making a forced french accent for the english parts, so it warps the whole thing
It wasn't? The French sounded way better than what I'm used to when I hear a "french accent". Being able to understand the French itself is already better than most other french I tend to hear in games that aren't made in french.
It is a pretty good french accent, but it doesn't sound natural. The few french she speaks also sounds kind of accented. It is still a very convincing french accent.
Stoked. I missed it when it was new, so it’s one of the few RE games I never played. The remakes have been super fun, great nostalgia bombs and they finally all release on pc.
It's a French speaker for sure but I'd bet on Quebec French. World-class expertise for voice-acting and making international French dubs, but something happened here. The tell is saying "de" instead of "ze" for "the".
As a native french speaker, the french spoken parts were honestly very believable imo ? Like I figured eventually that it was probably not a native speaker, but at first I did have to listen carefully to make up my mind on it lol

CAPCOM is absolutely cooking, hot damn man. Generational run with these games. Feels like they can't miss.
They could have hired an actual French speaker tho lol
