...I....I kind of like the original better. Didn't he just spend five years floating around inside of a bacta tank? The man shouldn't look healthy.

I assume that's Backblast. A heavy attack to go with a normal light attack

No, I wasn't referring to graphics. I meant in terms of aesthetics and design. The characters look good. As in, they're gorgeous and pleasing to the eye. That's why I compared it to FFXV which has been humorously called a world of mostly beautiful people
The amazing graphics are of course important but they made all the characters look their best between the balance of realism and fantasy. Even Jessie, Biggs, and goofy looking Wedge look cool in an unusual yet faithful reproduction of their designs from the original. I love it.

I meant for the English Voice acting, but I've always preferred hearing the English voice actors of characters.
And it could be the money thing, which is unfair. What I find frustrating is that all of Steve Burton's hard work in the previous trailers and all of the sudden they got rid of him for someone else and his work in reprising his role was now a complete waste of his time and that's not fair to him.

The lighting and overall look is definitely a little more bright and colorful relative to the last trailer.
@Tash - why would only the English team be going for out with the old and in with the new but not the actual developers of the game? That makes no sense. And it wasn't a waste of Burton's time if they paid him for it, that's his job. But either way we may as well wait to hear them announce something about it.

there's the small possibility they're placeholder voices, but that seems doubtful.
the only replacements i'd be particularly broken up about are billingslea (and maybe blum) because having jet black's voice is a stroke of genius if they'd just let it be (and having spike's also is just funny).
as for whomever is responsible for barret's line delivery in the trailer. electric chair.

The same situation regarding voice actor replacement happened with the RE2 Remake.
The voice actors that had been Leon, Claire, and Ada for years throughout the Resident Evil series were unceremoniously replaced by new talent because Capcom wanted to save money and hire non-union talent. They moved the voice recording studio for the game to the other side of the country and that was that.
I was really hoping this wouldn't happen with FFVII since S-E in general had been very faithful in keeping up continuity with their voice actors but apparently I guess things changed. What a shame.

I look forward to actually liking Aerith this time. Never gave much of a damn about the character until that Crisis Core portrayal with voice acting and facial animation really brought her to life.

I know, but the fact that he got paid and he won't even be credited or heard in the game, whether it's Steve having done something or the english voice acting director done something, I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. Sure he got the money, but the fact that he's suddenly been replaced is a bad move.
I can understand Barret's replacement in voice actors(and maybe Steven Blum too even though he still voice acts given his role in FFXV), but to suddenly replace Cloud's voice actor when he already did his work in most of the previous trailers plus his role in Dissidia NT...I just can't understand it. The only way to find out for sure is for Steve Burton to confirm whethet that he'd been replaced or not or we wait until the game comes out before PS5 comes out next year in April or May or even June.
Jessie's new look remimd
The look reminds me of a lot of modern American Actresses that have been in lately.

That defensive pose for Cloud using the Buster Sword as a shield has been used before too.
Like, that's what gets me in terms of this.
The consistency in Cloud's fighting style. I don't know if it's the same people working on it, but the current designers clearly have been paying attention and keeping notes on how Cloud moves and swings his sword. Details like that are just, so appreciated.

Well when you only have low poly models and written text to convey a character's personality, quite a bit is being done by your imagination. Well my imagination didn't come up with anything particularly good for her. I imagined her wildly differently than the Crisis Core depiction.
And the Crisis Core depiction was significantly better.

Oh man... You made me think of something.
I really can't fucking wait to see how they depict Heidegger and Scarlet.
Like. Oh my fucking God, their portrayal could either be hilariously awesome or hilariously terrible.
But I'll hold onto hope and not expect the worst.

Cloud's twitch at the end is so so great. Very subtle. I didn't like CC2's screen-shake-static thing when Cloud had a seizure. This is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it thing.
Okay I got 85 1080p screenshots, focused mainly on characters faces and a few pics from the battles. To whom shall I send these along?

I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have burst out like that. It's just that I hate it when you hear one voice in so many trailers and the work's already been done, not to mention Steve having confirmed on his Twitter account that he was reprising his role, and everyone left it at that for the last two years, and then suddenly you hear a different voice actor out of the blue and while the original voice actor got paid, you're suddenly wondering why he's been replaced just like that or that it's been on placeholder the whole time.
But I know I have to stop ranting now so...again, I'm really, really sorry.

I figured that was referencing when Tifa finds Cloud outside the train station and there's that static and flash every time she looks away and he freaks out.

it's unlikely it will be that long a wait being that -- if they are replaced -- there will probably be a statement forthcoming from the VAs themselves, and if not, the teasers this june and during the promotional run-up will have plenty of voice samples to compare.
it would be zero percent surprising if the characters have been recast, however. as far as i can remember, the only ones who were even voice actors by trade were blum and billingslea (and newbern, though they never let him be great). the rest of them are mostly artefacts of the early aughties when square enix's casting department selected their talent by recruiting jimothy from down the street and blindfolding themselves and tossing darts at an opened people magazine.
edit:
mans looks like popeye, which is...accurate....I....I kind of like the original better. Didn't he just spend five years floating around inside of a bacta tank? The man shouldn't look healthy.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit who the voice actor is, as long as it's vaguely well done and vaguely fits the character?

I'm not overly fussed about it. At least not at present. But yeah it's surprising given Burton and Newbern were playing them as recently as Dissidia NT.
