[quote author=Dacon link=topic=444.msg13717#msg13717 date=1233603168]I call bullshit, he looks very little like the Joker from the film, and way too much like the one in the comics now, mostly because they deformed his face so much.

I call bullshit on anyone who says he looks like the Joker because of the films.

I didn't mean that Kefka looked like the film Joker, I just mean the film made the Joker much more popular, so comparisons between him and Kefka are more likely.

I think Simon Templeman would be a good choice for Mateus. He did the voice for Kain from the LoK games and has a very distinctive voice that is excellent for a proud arrogant person who thinks they should rule everything making him a good choice for the Emperor.

Aside from that I don't much like the idea of big recognisable names doing the voices, if its someone you recognise then it sort of blurs your opinion of the character by making you think of the actor and there isno actor that would perfectly match each character.

Oh, ok. But still a lot of those fans TDK aren't familar with the definitive versions of the Joker.

Like how he commits crimes so hard, it's impossible to determine how the hell he planned it or some shit. And he doesn't even use Joker Venom in TDK, though it's been explored in the Novel version as a rip off of the fear gas Scarecrow uses.

WTF are you talking about? Joker Toxin has jack to with the fear gas.

He had it long before scarecrow even existed man.

Actually, that is something out of the Dark Knight novelization rather than from the comics as far as I'm aware...

I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE GODDAMNED NOVEL OF THE FILM. NOT THE DAMNED COMIC SERIES! I have enough common sense to know Joker toxin came first before Fear toxin! I read the debut of Joker damn it!


Edit: lawl, I used comics instead of novel. Damn it

Simon Templeman is a legend.

I wonder if they'll cast a girl for Zidane, like the Japanese version. WTFSquare.

I really hope Vic Mignogna will voice Zidane. His voice would be perfect, at least to me. I've always imagined Zidane having Ed's voice.

Simon Templeman is a good choice, but for some reason I hear Mateus having a voice like Vayne Solidor's. Elija Alexander might be a good choice for him too.

I never minded George Newbern doing the English VA for the sane Sephiroth. It's cold and proud, but also human. But he's no good as the wacky Sephiroth, which the Japanese VA did a great job as (just the right amount of power and insanity).

I also loved Newbern as Sephiroth. He was pretty good as Sephiroth in AC, but in Crisis Core he was fantastic.

What are everyone's thought's on Squall's VA, would you rather have his KH I, KH II, or an entirely new VA for him?

KH I, not that Doug fag. He drawls too much. "Eeeeeeezzzyyy.... ya waaaannnnaaa breeeeaaaakkk iiitt?" "ttthhhhaaaaaattttsssss rrrrriiight. I rrrreeemember now....". what a fag. Boreanaz did an epic voice job for Squall.

I don't. George Newbern is an awful Sephiroth and there hasn't been anything to convince me otherwise so far.

He did an exponentially better job than the Japanese VA or Lance Bass. Play Crisis Core until you like him, as there is no better Sephiroth.

Sephiroth's Japanese VA is the definitive version as far as I'm concerned. Newbern's is poor and serviceable at best. He was an awful choice.

Not trying to praise him or anything, but I don't think Lance Bass had enough lines to really judge his voice acting. *Shrug.*

George Newbern... Eh, he's okay. Doesn't make me cringe. But I have a feeling we're stuck with him.

I definitely agree that the Japanse VA of Sephiroth beats out any other verison easily. He just sounds downright vicious. But I don't think Newbern was too bad either.

Lance Bass? Ew, just ew.

Has anyone played the English version of Musashi: Samurai Legend? That game drastically lowered my standards for voice acting. *Shudders.*

David Boreanaz is an insanely good choice for Squall, but I think he would've been better if he delivered his lines more like so:

Very blunt, uncaring and nonchalant :monster:
