    I prefer the Japanese voices. They sound more passionate about the roles then the english cast.

    I like the Japanese version better. After I saw the english version I was pissed cause I didn't like some of the voices. But Kadaj's english voice fit him perfectly.

    Okay, I watched the English version, and I didn't think it was that bad. The translation was well done, and the voice acting was pretty good too, although I still think the Japanese version was better. In the English version, Cloud, Tifa and Yuffie were fine, and the Turks were funny as always, but I think Vincent sounded a bit weird, and so did Yazoo and Loz.

    Maybe you should, then you could compare voices..

    I did a review on the English version of AC. It was a pretty good review, so I can't say they were rubbish.

    But the Japanese voices made the villains sound a lot better, and unlike the English Loz, the Japanese one actually sounded great.

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.

    I have watched both, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I only meant I think the English is fine so I don't feel the need to watch it in Japanese again

    Default Original Dialouge

    I prefer the original dialouge, that being JAPANESE... It's the only one I heard so far, because I've just been watching on Youtube.

    I would like to hear the American voices, though, but I can only hope it's not as crappy as usual.

    Only seen it in Japanese, and only a bit here an there. But I thought the voices were pretty good. ^^ I've heard the English ones aren't as good... I might actually buy the movie or whatever to find out. Or borrow it because I'm cheap like that. : D

    Hmm...I can't choose, they both were good. I think I like the English and Japanese version the same.

    I only got the english DVD and watched it in japanese with english subtitles. I guess cos I figured that was how it was meant to be and therefore may be better. I like reading subtitles anyway I manage to kinda scan read them very quickly so it's cool. Maybe I'll watch it in english one time, probably not though.

    I don't go for this "How it's meant to be watched" reasoning. It was meant to be understood and not read.

    I've only watched the English dub, mostly because I'm lazy and don't typically watch things with subtitles unless the english dub is absolutely horrible. I'll probably watch it in Japanese at some point, but the English dub was pretty well done overall. The villains did sound pretty lame, now that I think about it.
