Overwatch: Orisa's Unlockable Voice Lines in Every Language
Behold! This is my 23th entry for an Overwatch playlist where I go through every playable characters' speakable language.
This time, I focus on the female-voiced Omnic from the African-Nigerian land of Numbani. A former average OR15 repaired and upgraded by the brilliant 11-year old child prodigy Efi Oladele, this Omnic devotes her life to protecting the ones she cares for the most, while using her adaptive A.I. to help her keep learning new things along the way.
Presenting the 3rd post-release character and 3rd post-release female in a row... Orisa.
--------------
Some things to note:
1. The text of the Voice Line in English does not necessarily match what the character says in a different language. For example, Tracer's "You Need A Time Out" line in Polish has her singing, instead, which does not exist in any other language option.
2. My laptop isn't top notch. There will be times where I have to run over the same Voice Line again because it didn't load and play out the first time around.
3. English will always be the first language of the video as a reference point. I will make the 2nd and potentially the 3rd language the one or ones that closely matches the hero's own ethnicity if their language is in the game. So I can't apply this to everyone, mainly with characters who would likely have English as the first language in Real Life.
4. Some characters will speak a different language regardless of whatever spoken language the game is currently set on, including the standard English, though this doesn't apply to every language in the exact same frequency. You can mostly hear this with Widowmaker's French and Genji's Japanese. In fact, Widowmaker's English and French voice actresses are one in the same, as are Mei's English and Simplified Chinese. However, Genji's are not, so he will speak some Japanese with his English voice and some of his other voices, but only Japanese with his completely different Japanese voice. You follow me, correctly?
5. There are extremely rare occasions when a Voice Line may not be dubbed into a different language at all. When this happens, it is almost always when a character's English Voice Line has them say it in a different language, anyway. So these instances in alternate audio will just default to the regular English version of the Voice Line which, again, will still be the English VA saying something in a different language.
6. I planned this at different points. Every non-Bastion character that was on the game at its release were all recorded together, Ana was recorded during the passed Summer Games event, Sombra was planned when she was released in the BlizzCon 2016-based PTR update, and I planned Orisa sometime after she was released in her own dedicated PTR update.

A lot Orisa voices here sound similar to one another, as it she had different chips installed in her that let her speak different languages at will. Very nice.
I understand there a lot of blank names, here, but this video is a recording of the PTR, and not all of the voice actresses have been discovered to my knowledge, yet.
There's a special quirk with her "Current Outlook" voice line where she'll say different things afterwards, such as "Concerning", "Uncertain", "Optimal", or "Negative". This very likely applied to her other languages.

As of this upload, Orisa is still only available in the PTR. So if you have the PC version, go there and try her out if you can! She will eventually go live everywhere! I'm going to soon upload some videos of her in action!
Once again, my Overwatch viewers, thanks for your continued support, and check out this playlist link below for every other non-Bastion character in this game up to this point:
