The Game With Voice

[Shiny]

Let's say hypothetically speaking, Square updated this game with better graphics and voice actors. Which voice actors, or actors in general, would you like to see voice the characters?

[qwertysaur]

Niel Patrick Harris as Edgar. Because :colbert:

[blackmage_nuke]

I cant imagine any of the characters with english voices however for some reason I can mentally picture them in my head in anime form with japanese voices.

[Shiny]

Niel Patrick Harris as Edgar. Because :colbert:
Hahaha, that's hilarious because irl he's gay. I can't imagine him as a lady's man.

[Jiro]

I don't know who I'd pick, but if this happens and the actors are terrible then I will die.

Terra -
Locke -
Edgar - Robert Downey Jr.(possibly in Tropic Thunder Australian accent to match below LOL)
Sabin - Kinda always pictured the guy from Mortal Kombat who played Kano
Celes -
Shadow - Christian Bale(In Dark Knight Voice LOL)
Cyan - Liam Neeson
Gau - Animal(Yes the Muppet, GAU GAU GAU GAU GAU)
Setzer -
Strago - Ian Mckellan
Relm -
Mog - Bobcat Goldthwait
Umaro -
GoGo - ?Not sure what would determine this? Is it a man?

Not Sure about rest, Fill in the blanks

I'm not sure how I would feel about VA for this game. I'm probably one of the few people on the forum who doesn't care for Terra's VA in Dissidia cause she sounds too bubbly and precocious at times and Terra to me has always come across as someone who should be very melancholic.

Kefka's VA was pretty good but I feel he needs to make his jumps from high (playful) to deep low (menacing) much more pronounced. It would add more to his creepy factor. I kinda still wish that Crispin Freeman got the role but that's me I guess.

I couldn't even imagine who to get for other people...

[Marshall Banana]

The last thing I'd want for any game is a cast of easily recognizable celebrity voices, because, then, the character and voice actor merge a little in my head -- even more so if the voice actor looks like the character he/she is portraying.

A good example of what I mean is Phil in Disney's Hercules. That guy is just Danny DeVito to me, not Phil.

[Zeromus_X]

I liked Terra and Kefka's voice actors in Dissidia, so I wouldn't mind them if they made a full-voiced remake of this game.

As for other characters, I've always imagined Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (The Major from Ghost in the Shell) as Celes.

That name sounds familiar. Is she also the woman who did the vocals for the Silent Hill songs?

I can't think of a voice actor for anyone, but Kefka right now. I have always imagined that Kefka's voice sounded like a crazed Englishman. That's why I think Tim Curry would be perfect for the character. I mean just look at his face at the bottom -- it reeks of evil!

Tim Curry pwnzerz mah face!

He was the Prince of Darkness in Legend too, so he's got it.

Oh my God yes, that would be ironic. But Shiny, have you ever seen How I Met Your Mother? ;/
Brad Pitt for Sabin. And Brendan Fraser as Locke.

[Shiny]

No, I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it. I think Brendan Fraser as Locke would fit really well! He has a jocky type voice that works well for Locke's stature. As for Brad Pitt as Sabin, I dunno. I know I would want him to sound debonair, but I just can't fathom slurry Brad voicing Sabin.

[Sephiroth]

There is only one man who should play Kefka and that's Jim Carrey.

Tim Curry has already played an evil clown. But Jim - the Riddler - Carrey would be perfect for Kefka.

So if he could be Kefka in a real Final Fantasy VI movie, he could be his voice in an Final Fantasy VI remake as well.

That's just your opinion. Nothing else. He is always joking around and his role as riddler was great.

^ THIS.

^ THIS TOO.

I really wouldn't want famous voice actors because I personally would find that highly distracting. However, the problem you come across with this is the fact that this will likely never happen anyways due to SE's policy of hiring "voice actors" who work part time at the Dollar Tree store. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that 9/10 of all voice actors in pretty much any SE game you can think of with voice acting are trash. Terrible. Terrible. I don't even want to think about this happening to my precious FF VI. But in all honesty, it's probably coming because this trend of older games being remade for the DS [along with that shoddy chibi-polygon style]. So yes, I'm preparing myself for the onslaught of horrid voice acting that's going to destroy one of my favourite FF games of all time. It's plain obvious that they don't really give much of a smurf about the voice acting for the English versions of any of their games.

In fairness, the voice acting for FF IV on the DS was..... "okay", so if SE can AT LEAST meet this level of requirement for "satisfactory" results, then I won't be too peeved. I've given up on expecting good English voice acting for any SE game [not even going to go into the even-worse voice acting for Tri-Ace games, even though those are technically SE too]. Some games would just be plain better-off without voice acting at all.

You mean his role as Jim Carrey trying to play the Riddler don't you? :D :p

Anyway, even if anyone famous was possible for a remake of sorts, there aren't many I'd want to see in it. Guys like Jim Carrey in particular are almost too recognizeable as themselves, and it becomes very difficult to see and hear them and not constantly be thinking about the fact that you're watching Jim Carrey rather than the character he's playing.

I actually like this idea. I would enjoy playing through the game with the English text displayed on the screen as the voice acting is in Japanese.

[Jowy]

Cam Clarke as Kefka.

[Arthurdent_78]

I think Ewan McGregor would be great as Locke as he can be confident but playful.

Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from the Matrix and Elrond from LotR) would make an excellent General Leo.

Christopher Lee should be Emperor Ghestal.

I must agree that Kefka should be played by Tim Curry, but in his Rocky Horror Picture Show voice.

[RedPouch]

This is starting to sound like... a certain other topic that I don't want to mention. Anyways, I'm glad that none of these ideas are ever going to happen.
