Character's voices?

[Heartless]

Since it's gonna be a movie we're gonna hear character's voices right?Do you know something more about it?I mean if they're gonna be famous Hollywood actors for example?

[Ancient Goddess]

I remember hearing from my sister that Cloud's voice is going to be that insane cat from Azamanga Daihoh. She's really excited about seeing the movie, so she tells me almost everything she finds out. I do also recall her telling me some of the others, but thanks to my swiss cheese memory, I can't remember them.

If I speak to her soon again, I'll edit this.

The likelyhood of them getting high-profile American actors is very very low. The reason KH had them was due to Disney's influence. If they dub AC, it'll be standard-fare American voice actors, like any anime or video game.

I dunno about the Japanese ones, but considering the high influence Square seems to have in Japan and the high value they place on their seiyuu (voice actors), it'll probably be some really good ones.

[aeris2001x2]

i,ll be definitly listerning to the japanese voices first. and i really hope they have sum decent actors do the dub. i,d hate any silly hollywood ppl 2 come along, i was horrified with what they did 2 Princess Monokoke. then again Spirited away was very good, so...

oh i dont know. as long as its decent.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean the English dubbing will suck. The voice acting of FFX-2 English was great, so why can't FF7 AC English have good acting too? I hope they'll get people like Steve Burton, Mandy Moore, Christy Carlson Romano and the like for FF7 AC just for the sake of "consistency". They were used in KH, after all.

I hope FF7 AC will contain several language packages so that I can try both Japanese and English voices.

[aeris2001x2]

ughh, please no KH voice actors. i,d prefer the dub 2 be done by the Bebop, evangelion, ghost in the shell etc ppl. if i discover its like KH i,ll be thanking the lucky stars 4 the sub. and it definitly WILL have sub because all decent Anime releases have them nowdays.

That's right.

[Mo-Nercy]

Bebop and Evangelion had pretty plain dubbing in my opinion. But I've only watched a fraction of both...

Anyway, I thought KH had great dubbing, as far as games go. But remember that the quality of the dub rarely depends on the voice actors but rather how easily they can synch the lips. With anime's, the characters mouths often just open and close regardless or what kind of sound they're supposed to be pronouncing but in games, particularly Square-attention-to-detail type games, the mouth can clearly be seen making different sounds, that is, the mouth stretching out for "De" sounds, a bit of tongue action for "L" etc.

Even so, I expect the dubbing in AC to be acceptable, since the movie does seem like it's going to be mostly action which means the voice actors will be making those "fighting sounds" more rather than actually speaking.

[aeris2001x2]

really? i hated the hollywood cheeseness of KH voice acting...should definitly have had a japanese option...kinda like ffX should have 2...

Never said it would. All I said was it wont be super big actors, because Square doesnt have that kind of pull in this country.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

The KH actors voices worked because they were suited for the Animation style. Like, Yuffie had a good voice for the bouncy cartoon yuffie. a gritty yuffie in warfare probably couldn't sound so bubbly. Though the guy that did cloud was good, and would probably work for AC style animation. so help me god if lance does Seph though. so help me god, i'll kill him, and them, and all those who saw the contract and did not burn it. so help me....

[Dante WolfWood]

didnt some backstreet boy do the voice of septhiroth or is GOING to do the voice of him in KH2? Lance something

[Starcrest]

omg if you dont kill them i will

[kikimm]

I don't know who'd I'd like to see play them. I would like to have Mandy Moore play Aeris again, though; her voice was perfect for her, imo. Yuffie as well. I'm not sure about Steve Burton though. He does have that depressing sort of sound that works---if they use him again, I wouldn't complain.

For everyone else, though, I'd rather they get "unknowns". Although Barret can be the exception---I wish they'd get Mr.T to play him.

Kikz gets a cookie for saying what we were all thinking xDDD

Anyone played The Bouncer? That's a quality dubbing right there. If Square can get those voice actors, that would be a-okay in my books. Especially that guy who did Dauragon's voice...Wha? Cloud's not british? Dang.
