I like to imagine now that this is Cloud talking to Denzel from 3:30 and onwards. Not because it fits or anything (at all) but because I find it utterly hilarious to imagine the cheese. :lol:

BAHAHAHAAHAHAAA *gaasp* omg...thanks for the laugh, Aya/Shademp.

"SHUT UP!!!...You're being a little BITCH!" I died. :muhaha: Should totally make a cartoon of Cloud and Denzel with that audio.

Neither have I...although English is not my native language so I don't really hear minor differences in accents :monster:
Astaghfirullah I'm technically a native English speaker, since my country has 500+ indigenous languages and was imperialised by the British (so pidgin English/English is the lingua franca), but I've only gotten good at differentiating between some regional American accents because I now live in dustyass Texas, USA, where people are constantly giving me grief about my accent/pronunciation. So I'll really be like

Oh, I see. Now I understand. Poor guy. I wonder how he died. Thanks for clearing that up, guys.

Guess Xehanort from KH series isn't the only evil bad guy that needs a replacement of actors in both Japanese and English.

What was Hojo's Japanese voice actor's name again?
just to be clear, i was referring solely to the japanese voice actor nachi nozawa, who died of lung cancer at age 72 in late 2010. he played vexen in kingdom hearts as well but they haven't cast anyone new for his role there yet either

Hmm... I wonder if they'll have Ali Hills, Lightning's VA, voice the crossdressed Cloud so Steve Burton doesn't have to use a falsetto voice instead. Your thoughts on this?

That's a terrible, awful idea. Having Burton voice that part will make the scene 200x funnier. Cloud's a soldier, not a performer. The Don can comment on his voice saying how different and attractive it is. :awesome: :lol: What a revelation.

I thought that from what I heard of some of Ali Hills performances that she sounded masculine in some of her roles. That's the only reason why I asked it. And much as it pains me to say this, Aya, I completely agree... It would be completely funny, lol!

Yeah, it definitely needs to be Burton trying to sound feminine. Even more hilarious if he's noticeably bad at it. :monster:

I know at one point, the Don is trying to look him in the eyes and he keeps looking the opposite direction... Come to think of it, I don't remember him speaking, ha!

I know we've been strictly speaking about Burton, but O.M.G. Sakurai will be a MASTER at these scenes, hahaha

Yeah I'm not sure Cloud ever speaks "in character" while he's dressed up.

Well, I guess there are your dialogue options with Corneo, "Yes, his name is Barret!" and all that. Otherwise it's just either with Aerith and Tifa, or revealing himself to the mooks, "I ain't INTERESTED in a buncha scrubs like you!"

OMG, now I'm imaging Cloud saying "Yes, and his name is Barret" while speaking in a bad falsetto.

To me, "Yes, his name is Barret." Is funnier if I imagine Cloud saying it normally and Corneo still not getting that Cloud's a guy until he takes the dress off.

I wondering if we can choose the voice overs in the game? Or will that be locked with the region of game they sell it in? Although I do not understand Japanese, I always fancied the way they spoke. So in my case, I would choose japanese voice overs with English subtitles! : )

People need to figure out their demand priorities when it comes to dual audio and lip syncing. You're not going to get both, only one. They're not going to put two versions of every cutscene in the game, that's crazy.

You don't need two versions of a cutscene for realtime scenes though, only the two sets of data for the lip animation.
Episode Duscae does this, btw.

Im hoping for a new VA for Cid and Rufus. I don't understand their thinking behind those voices.

I always thought Rufus should have an English accent (specifically the cunty sounding kind).

You mean like Clarkson or Boris Johnson or something? :lol:

Anyway, I guess whatever happens with the VA for the remake it's never going to sound like I want it to, but I hope the voice direction is good, cos I fucking hate it when it sounds like everyone was doing their lines separately and it all gets mashed together. Really the VA's should all get together and I dunno...workshop it or whatever it is actors do (if they don't already off course I have no idea)

Unfortunately this is pretty much how it's done. Higher quality productions generally try and get the actors sharing a scene into the booth together so they can properly play off each other. I know MGS does it like that.

It is amazing the difference in quality that Naughty Dog achieves by not only having the voice actors record together, but record WHILE also motion capturing the scene. It's like a play, and it's incredible just how much more natural it is.
