So About The FFIV Voice Acting...

[Fynn]

Tara Strong could do that...

[scrumpleberry]

Whew. For a moment I saw a Rydia Rikku hybrid...it was like going into madness and coming out the other side...

[Wolf Kanno]

Rydia - high-pitched peppy voice

OH GOD PLEASE NO. Rydia is my fave chara, she is awesome! Don't give her a hyper ff girl voice!!!

Rydia can be hyper as a child but then she needs to mature... We need someone like Yuna - but in reverse.

Rydia needs a precotious voice as a child and a calm and soothing low key voice as an adult. She's one of the more reserved characters and trying to get a VA to bring out her more "active" personality would probably kill the character.

Also, Yuna has terrible VA way too monotone. It's like what listening to a brick wall would theoretically sound like.:rolleyes2

I liked Yuna's voice and how different it is in both parts... But it's all a matter of opinion and it's not OK to argue about tastes...
However, I think one actress could cope with it. Some people really have nice voice talents (JAT sounds completely different as Tidus, Shuyin and Jack Sparrow - amazing)...

This thread ended on post number four.

Clearly the greatest idea since the creation of Tellah.

[Zora]

Whoever played Vincent in Advent Children fits Kain's character very well, but perhaps he isn't a good choice overall...

I hope they have that talking-through-the-helmet effect they had for the voices of the judges in XII, it was a nice touch, I'd like to see it with Golbez.

Agreed. That was neat. It could have been used for Dark Knight Cecil too if his helmet was covering his face.

[feioncastor]

Sean Connery should voice Tellah. Hearing him yell "You spoony bard!" or whatever the line is would be amazing.

Rather, Darrell Hammond should voice Tellah, using his Connery impression.

And they should get a girl to voice Cecil. Just to mix things up. You know, like they did in FFX with Tidus.

EDIT- Isaac Hayes should voice Dark Knight Cecil, and Wallace Shawn should voice Paladin Cecil. Right?

I kind of wish it did for that reason. In the GBA dialogue pictures, his helmet covers his face, in most of the artwork too. But not in the in-game screenshots we've seen so far for the DS remake.

Come to think of it, I think the voice for Gabranth would be pretty cool for Cecil.

My ideas, inspired in part by Evastio's list and various other fantastic suggestions in the thread...

Cecil (dark knight) - David Hayter
Kain - Tidus or Raiden
Rosa - Liv Tyler (in 'soft and whiny' mode)
Cid - Strong Bad
Edward - Rick Moranis or Eric Idle
Yang - George Takei
Golbez - Judge Bergan from FFXII
Edge - Vanilla Ice
FuSoYa - Sir Ian McKellan
Zemus/Zeromus - Christopher Lee (for contrast)
Tellah - Barry Humphires, aka Dame Edna Everage

[Evastio]

I'm kind of thinking Dark Knight Cecil and Paladin Cecil's voices should be done by the same person but Dark Knight Cecil should have his voice changed a bit so it sounds evil.

[atlanteay]

Cecil's and Rosa's voices are already revealed in the trailer. Rosa's voice was really thin and lady-like while Cecil's is really calm and thin, a young guy's.

[Fynn]

Yeah, they're nice. Wonder if there will actually be voice acting in the game... I sure hope so...

[KasaiDraco]

JAT should do Rydia. She's good at doing high-pitched hyper girl voices.
