Nia English Voice Mod (Xenoblade Chronicles)

This voice mod contains a mix of English clips of Nia's voice from Xenoblade 2 and 3.

The voice clips replaced are mostly combat-focused, as well as some multiplayer and quest lines such as finding the target monster, clearing a quest, and others. All other voice clips in this mod that haven't been replaced remain the same as voice number 17. This will remain the case even if it is converted to another player voice slot.

You might need to lower the character volume to better balance the audio. Some of the audio balancing is out of whack on some of the lines as well from some instances that they play. For example, the heavy action voice lines which normally play in some attack lines are made louder when doing a Switch Skill Swap for reasons I can't discern. There isn't much I can do about that, so my apologies.

The mod replaces English voice number 17 by default, but this can be changed to any voice using ItsBurpee's Voice Changer. Once you convert it to the voice of your choice, if you want to make it into a pak file, you'll have to use the Rise Pak Patch Tool to convert it. This is important because:

This mod will not work with Fluffy Manager 5000 if you have the FirstNatives plugin installed.

Included in the folder is a pak file that you can put in the MonsterHunterRise folder. This can be used with FirstNatives. The pak file numbers can also be renamed if you have other pak files installed. For example:

If you already have a pak file named re_chunk_000.pak.patch_002 installed in the MonsterHunterRise folder, you can rename it to re_chunk_000.pak.patch_003, or 004 at the end, and so on. However, keep in mind that the numbers of the pak files you have installed must be sequential for the game to recognize it.

Otherwise, if you don't have FirstNatives installed, the mod can be installed like normal through Fluffy.

Voice clips were obtained from TheSoundsResource as well as the Pastebin link uploaded by BK_Barnz's Reddit post for the Xenoblade 3 voice clips used. Thank you for the hard work you and others have done in extracting, labeling, and organizing all of the Xenoblade 3 voice clips, especially the cutscene voices. It goes a long way towards me wanting to do these passion projects.
