    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!!

    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*

      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.

    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.

    All the voices and acting was great except for the narrator… He just seemed bored and uninterested, as if he did not want to be there to read it…

    It grated a little, for me, but as I said, everything else was AMAZING
