Arknights Endfield Best Voice and Language Settings for Story Enjoyment

For story enjoyment in Arknights: Endfield, the best setup is your preferred text language + your favorite dub (EN or JP), with subtitles always on and audio balanced so voices are clear over music and SFX. You can swap voice language anytime from the settings menu without affecting your save.

How to Change Voice and Text Language

• Change voiceover language:
  • Open the in‑game Menu → Settings → Language and switch the Voiceover option.​​
  • Launch guides show four VO choices in the menu (currently English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese).​
• Change text/subtitles:
  • In the same Language screen, set your text/UI language independently of voice; this controls story subtitles and UI labels.​

You can freely combine, for example, Japanese voices + English text, which most story-focused players recommend.​

Recommended Voice Options by Preference

• Maximum immersion in Talos-II lore:
  • Use Japanese or Chinese VO + English text; these dubs have the strongest “anime/Arknights” feel and are widely praised in the community.
• Easiest to follow while doing other things:
  • Use English VO + English text; the EN dub is considered very good, with accents and regional flavor similar to OG Arknights.

You can test both dubs during early chapters to see which cast you click with; players on r/Endfield explicitly recommend trying EN and JP before committing.​

Why English and Japanese Are the Most Popular

• English dub strengths:
  • Arknights is known for thoughtful casting, including native accents and regional speech patterns for certain operators, and Endfield continues that trend.
  • Community comments highlight how English VO uses accent, slang, and occasional native snippets to give factions their own flavor.​
• Japanese dub strengths:
  • JP remains the “industry standard” gacha language, and many players coming from Genshin / HSR / OG AK default to it for consistency.​

Since Endfield doesn’t yet let you set per‑character voices like OG Arknights, you choose a global dub, so picking EN or JP is mostly about what you want to listen to for hundreds of hours.

Extra Audio Tips for Better Story Experience

• Balance audio levels:
  • If you notice dialogue being drowned out, lower music and SFX volume slightly so voices sit clearly on top.​
• Fix missing or bugged voices:
  • There’s a known launch bug where some lines don’t play; a quick workaround is to toggle audio output (e.g., to DTS) and/or switch VO language, then restart the game.​
• Subtitles always on:
  • Keep subtitles enabled even in your native language so you don’t miss lines during combat or loud set-pieces.​​

With your preferred text language, a dub you like listening to, and clear voice levels, Endfield’s story and character moments land much better, especially in multi-faction scenes where different groups speak in distinct ways.
