I really dig the voices of Auron and Tifa. Auron's voice (Matt McKenzie) is very "gruff" and tough. He grunts and growls whenever he hits a heartless, and I also like it when he says "Farewell". Tifa's voice is a bit too high-pitched for her. She's about 20-22, but sounds like she's 16! I say that her voice (Rachael Leigh Cook) is like a mixture of the voices of Aerith (Mena Suvari) and Yuffie (Mae Whitman). Aerith's voice is very sweet, and Yuffie's voice is very energetic.
I envisioned Tifa's voice to be a little deeper, but it seemed okay to me.
Well, the guy who did Auron's voice in KHII is the same guy who did Auron's voice for FFX.
HE SAID THE ARMOR BREAK LINE.
Aeris sounds like she has a muffin stuck in her throat
Auron came out ok
Tifa cam out pefect IMO
Auron imo has the best voice acting of the FF charachters
They could've picked better voices for Cloud and Seph, and Aerith sounded really weird for whatever reason. Not bad, but Mandy Moore is much better.
Tifa and Auron are the best voice actors. :cat: And Tifa is so funny! :p
The girl that voices Tifa is SIMPLY beautiful. She looks like a human verison of her, if that makes sense. Too bad I'm gay.
:(
Auron, his English voice will ALWAYS dominate the Japanese one. I pretty much prefer a minority of the cast in FFX/FFX-2 in English.
Auron = perfect voicing.
And you can't really discredit Sephiroth. I mean, come on. Last game, they had Lance Bass. LANCE BASS. they could have given him mickeys voice, it would have been an improvement. Would be Destroyer of the World, One Winged Angel, Boy Band Sensation?
Also lost points for no Boreanaz IMO.
I much preffered Mandy Moore and Christy Romano over Mena Suvari and Mae Whitman. While I didn't mind the change in Yuffie's voice much at all, I thought Aerith's was terrible. It just didn't fit her.

I like their voices. Tifa is a silly adult girl; she's funny. And you know something? Kairi is 15 and she has a deeper voice that Tifa! She's about 20-22, but sounds like she's 16! Maybe because she is youthful, energetic, upbeat, and happy, like Yuffie is. Tifa is an adult, but has the personality of a teenager! "Hey, who says that adults can't be upbeat and happy?" is what Tifa would say, and I like her.
I liked Mae Whitman, I didn't know until after beating the game that it was CCR. I learned most of the cast in Tips & Tricks and Yuffie wasn't on the list.Quote:

I think RLC was perfect for Tifa. Though I still can't get over her not finding Cloud.
Also, I think Jesse McCartney Made a better Roxas than HJO made a Sora.
Oh, I don't have anything against her as an actress or a person, or even her voice...I just thought it was very unbefitting to the character.Quote:

Have you seen the Cloud and Tifa vs Sephiroth KH2 scene in both English AND Japanese? Notice than when Tifa shouts "HAAAAA!", Ayumi Ito (her Japanese voice) says it with more authority in her voice. Rachael Leigh Cook, however, didn't shout with enough authority. She sounded a little weird, but I like her voice: sweet, girly, and energetic.
i like yuripa japanese and english voices, auron's voice is good too,
i didn't like tifa english voice only her japanese,
same with sephiroth he scared me in the game when i fought him :(
cloud's voice is good in japanese and english too,
leon's voice some reason sounded different than in part one,
i like his japanese/english but in part two i'm :confused:
yuffie i didn't like i liked who did her voice in part one, he japanese really is better for her thought,
then aeris voice was werid, yeah her frist voice was better so with her japanese voice too :greenie:
David Boreanaz didn't do voices this time around. That's why Leon's voice sounded different.
I thought Leon's voice sounded similar...
Anyway...
Tifa: "Wow, Auron, your voice is really gruff!"
Auron: "Well, Tifa, your voice is really high-pitched!"
........most voices were changed, 4 the worst
I like the voices.
i liked the ones from the first better

Unfortunately, for some reason, they felt the need to go back and redo all the voice acting of Ansem/Xemnas' Heartless in the flashbacks, which I thought looked terrible. It didn't fit at all. They also did this with Aerith in the flashbacks aswell, yet all the flashback scenes with Sora talking have clearly been left as they were seeing as it's Haley Joel Osment's younger, high pitced voice and not his current, deepend voice. I assume it's because they didn't want two different voice actors on the same role in the same game...perhaps even for legal reasons.
Other than that though, my only complaint on the voice acting was James Horan's extremely dissapointing performance, but that's understandable when you're trying to fill the spot of Jeremy Irons as Scar (which is impossible).

I'm not sure what I think of Aeris' voice just as a voice, but the voiced changed too much when they switched actresses for me to be completely happy with it.
I noticed the Ansem flashbacks too, but I wrote that off. They aren't just Sora's memories, after all, they have been manipulated by Namine and possibly by DiZ as well. Still, I don't see any reason why they couldn't have just left them alone.
Ugh....I'm sorry, but I don't think anyone could truly have filled Billy Zane's shoes in voicing Ansem/Xehanort/Xemnas/whatever. I'm sorry, but he just had FAR more presence.
I'm just wondering why they had to change the flashbacks. Why did Xemnas and Ansem have to have the same voice? Roxas and Sora didn't...Quote:

Agreed.Quote:

Hey, do you wanna know something? Freddie Prince Jr.'s wife is Sarah Michelle Gellar, and she was a martial artist; she played Daphne Blake in the Scooby Doo movies, as well as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Now, in the movie She's All That, his main co-star is Rachael Leigh Cook. She never played a martial artist, either in live-acting or voice acting, and now, she becomes the voice of Tifa Lockheart. How interesting. Square-Enix picked someone who never played a martial artist before.Quote:

Also, Sarah is only 5'2. How tall is Rachael?

Well, I think SMG's voice is a little TOO deep, and that doesn't suit Tifa's personality. RLC's voice is a little too high-pitched, but it suits her better, so I'll have to say RLC.
