After listening to Cloud in World of Final Fantasy...

...when he has the same voice actor (also the same from Advent Children/Crisis Core)... I'm slightly more confident that it'll be okay. Cloud seemed much more like the Cloud I imagined as a kid in WoFF, and that gives me hope that he'll be more like that in FFVII too. In Crisis Core I really disliked the English voice acting of Cloud, he seemed like such a real softly spoken guy. Despite being the same voice actor, he seems much more confident and determined in WoFF. If this is how they envision Cloud in "Zack-mode", I am feeling a little more reassured about things in the Remake. Here's hoping I'm right!

Steve Burton is a good voice actor. It's amazing how big a difference direction can make.
