Sephiroth sucks

well, if i ever need my ass chewed out again, remind me to come to you guys ^^. i just hate hollywood bullhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif and this guy tried buying his way into everything. so it pissed me off. whatever though. and sephiroth is cool. he's a result of twisted ass people raping who they have to for big buissness. id be pissed off too.

So you singled out Lance Bass over all the other celebrity voice actors why? That makes no sense. Every character there had a either a celebrity voice or, in the case of Disney characters, the voice actor who played them in the movie if they were available. How does Lance Bass differ from Mandy Moore or David Boreanz?

Oh that's right, because he's in N'Sync. Yeah that's a really great reason to freak out and say it sucks.

Is N'Sync even still around?

No they're long gone. Especially now that Justin Timberlake copped hed make way more munny if he went solo. The last I heard of Lance Bass I think he was performing in some random broadway musical.

Trying to buy his way into everything? He said three lines, christ. And theres plenty of stars in the game who are FAR larger stars than him.

Not to mention that I highly doubt he 'bought' his way in. I'd assume Disney approached him with the role. The only way I could see anyone trying to buy their way into being a video game va for KH would be if they were either a) big FF fans or b) big Disney fans.

It's not like... for instance, the Star Wars movies. It's not a project every actor in Hollywood wants in on.

I never heard Sephiroth's voice because I don't really like Kingdom Hearts. If Lance's voice went with Sephiroth's image, then more power to...whoever decides to cast voices.

just to say that i was the same before i played him but when i did i was surprised how much it fitted sephiroth, great job.

I didnt think it suited him at all. His voice was cool but far too young. A deeper colder and more mature voice would have been far better.

Well said
:D As alot of you guys said, Sephiroth isn't that cool anyway. On a side note (it may be off-topic) I thought Mandy Moore as Aerith was a pretty good match, but they could have found a better voice actor for Sephiroth. Well, recently looking at a four-year-old game magazine, they had hate mail on Lance Bass as Sephy, and the magazine commented that Christopher Walken would have done a good job as the villain. Hope you aren't tired of hearing the ramblings of a newbie :blahblah:.

I think that the guy who did Cloud's voice did a pretty good job, and David Boreanaz (Or however you spell it) also did a good job with Squall/Leon's voice. I just thought that changing Squall's name to Leon was pretty pointless, though.

I think all the voice actors did pretty well, but the VA for Sephiroth is a pretty moot point considering his lack of lines. Really, it didnt matter who did it.

You see him as an older voice, Kain? I kind of see him as having a younger, sinister voice. I have an idea of what, but its just on the tip of my tongue and wont come off.

To note, Squall's name change was just plot-centric... Square didnt change his name for the game, Squall assumed the name Leon because he failed so miserably and didnt want to be called Squall anymore. If you knew that already, sorry. xD

i haven't heard his voice yet, but he better have some very evil voice or the sephiroth is a rip off execpt for his fighting moves. You better sound evil Lance. You better!!!! I think he should sound like seymour. Not!!!!!

Took the words right out of my mouth. As The Abominatrix said, Squall's new alias did add i bit to the story, but I felt it didn't do anything, if not let the player know he had a history (the non-FF gamers that is). :p So, (is this off-topic?) do you guys think Christopher Walken would have done a good job as Sephiroth?

The only character Christopher Walken is fit to play is Christopher Walken.

Haha, y'know I was thinking to myself "wow, this thread was doing alright with the thread title but then the post...". And agreed.

The voice didn't really bother me at all, I don't see why such a fuss should be kicked up over a voice actor of a minor role. The voice was no better and no worse than I would have expected.
