Pig Latin is better because it means they actually have to go to the trouble of individually recording every single line of the game’s dialogue, meaning that we get proper voice acting appropriate to each line. You can also come close to grasping their meaning from sound alone if you listen closely, which is fun. With gibberish they just get the actors to record a dozen murmurs each and play them randomly whenever they want the characters to talk; it’s not convincing.

Agreed, the gibberish in 2 got somewhat repetitive, while Pig Latin makes for something new with each new line of dialogue. Takes more effort, but makes a notable difference.

I agree with both Spiral and Dango, and I share the exact opinions. Although I'm very used to the R2/RR Gibberish, it had tendency to become repetitive or to not suit quite well to the characters' emotions in determined moments. Pig Latin wins.

I think you've been looking at ranks before names more lately.

I'm not sure which I prefer, or if it's purely the voice acting itself, but I kind of liked the gibberish a bit more.

Fixed it. I actually have been looking more to signatures than to avatars lately.

Rayman gibberish is a lot less annoying and repetitive than Okami gibberish.

I think I prefer pig latin. Not sure why

Thank jeebus you pointed that out.

It should be noted that in Rayman Revolution, no gibberish is ever repeated; they recorded brand new gibberish for every single line in the game. But it's still gibberish.

Pig Latin is a lot better.

I'm fond of it.

I can see the general consensus is for Pig Latin for being more like a real language than gibberish.
If I might interject something, though: what if Raymanian was a conlang?

Both for Gibberish and Pig Latin, the language sounded like Yuki Kajura's language... My opinion when the characters talks like normal...

I like the gibberish from Rayman 2 a lot more. I thought it portrayed the emotion quite well, though maybe not as accurately as Pig Latin would have, but still I'm more fond of the gibberish.
The Pig Latin's fun too though, don't get me wrong.

Indeed. Since Rayman Origins had absolutely no emotional portrayal in the voices at all, I don't know where people got "emotion" from.

I agree, I never really did find much emotional moments in RO, bar the "reveal," which played off the whole gravity of the event by having a dance sequence, which was cool...
But lacking what would really happen if you were betrayed by a friend who's been with you for 15 years.

I never really understood that dance thing. One of my theories was that it was something the Magician did to suddenly get him into a beat so he just started rocking out, or that it was some kind of distraction to make Rayman and friends believe that he was on their side again, which worked, after which he fled, hoping the others would perish in the collapsing cities.

Let's not get offtopic over to Rayman Origins, that's for the topic about it.

In Rayman’s experience, dancing equals repentance. The Magician took advantage of this fact to make his escape.
