These audio books are so great. All the voices (narrator included) are perfect for these books. Keep it up indeed!
Just got finished listening to the audio. Excellent work!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! <3<3<3 This is absolutely wonderful!!! I was able to picture the whole story as if I'm watching a movie from listening to this. I've read the all of the 'Case of' novellas before, but being able to listen to it and listen to each character's voice is an completely different experience. The tone of voices for all characters are very accurate, and carried out the characters' personalities exactly as expected. The background music is also excellent! they match with the mood of the narration exactly. I am so amazed!!! I love your work!!! and
Thank you for doing this!!! ^^- Can't wait for more!!
Loved it! Really! Thank You! (:
any links to the above featured music ?
awesome work!
Thank you so much for doing this audiobooks! And the VAs are getting better and better.. love Cloud’s voice!♥
All the VAs did a great job and so in character. The music also suits every scene! I also noticed the pauses by the narrator here and it really helped with the transition of each scenes and everything. This one’s my favorite so far!♥ Hope to hear Cid’s voice as well!=) Kudos to all of you guys!*hugs*
It is so amazing!!!Congrats to those who made the soundtrack!!!!I loved it!!!!!Really!!!!!And the voices……They are sooooooooooooooooooooooo perfect!!!!!!Cloud’s voice is my favorite!!!!Tifa was also really good, she remind me Rachael Leigh Cook’s voice at Advent Children!!!!Congrats to everyone!!!!!!
[...] can of course obtain the fan translated texts of these stories all here on TheLifestream as well as listen to some in audiobook form, but here’s hoping this release tells of things to come in other languages [...]
When in the timeline is this?
between the end of FF7 and the start of Advent Children
OMG This Is Awesome And BTW IF ANYONE HAS A SOLDIER UNIFORM AND BUSTER SWORD LET ME KNOW I AM THE ONLY PERSON THAT DESERVES TO WEAR THE BUSTER SWORD
maybe it is my error, but I can’t find Sephiroth, where he appears?
He’s just at the start, saying “thelifestream.net presents On the way to a smile – case of tifa”
Ha ha ha, weird starting. I can’t imagine that is Sephiroth’s line, I almost ignored. Poor Sephiroth.
I absolutely adored this story, these 50 minutes were actually worth the time ^^
Thanks very much for this. I want more of this.. if you have more, please do share it. I’ll really appreciate it. two thumbs up for this .,\/,,
You’ve done a very great job! Will be waiting for the rest of audio book :3
So was the audiobook project abandoned or what? If so, sad freakin’ day.
excuse me, could you tell me how to get copy right from SE? I am making e-book of LOVELESS from Crisis Core, plan to share it on web, others can download and print it. It seems need to contact with SE, but I don’t know how to write the mail.
SE will never give permission for that. Just release it online.
thank you. So you got the permission from SE to share it online?
Well, technically this wasnt made by SE, just written. The audio was made by us.
thank you very much. I’ve decited to release e-book on web, and print notebooks named “LOVELESS”, no content, no picture about CC-FFVII, thus it is no relation with SE.
