Japanese Voices or English Voicies

[Strifer]

I usually like the japaense voices on FF games better.
What about you?

[Neal]

I dunno, it seems to vary. :aldo: I thought the FFX and FFXII voices were quite bad in Japanese, but the FF7AC voices where loads better in Japanese for some characters (Aries).

[Kätharina]

Indeed.
FFX in Japanese where terrible.
Yet in most games the JP versions voices are alot better and suited.

As for Crisis Core, i'm not happy with the voice actors, i may just play it to understand what's being said in certain dialogue, then i'll just go back to my JP version only because the voice acting sounds ALOT better.

[Neal]

Rly? I thought the voices were really good in those clipz they released. :aldo: Not sure which is better but I definitely approve of the britz voicez :aldo:

[Kätharina]

I bum the JP version, what do you expect. :aldo:

[Strifer]

but the FF7AC voices where loads better in Japanese for some characters (Aries).You absolutely right.
For Example Kadaj - Loz and Yazoo in english voices is just stupid not so cool.

[Neal]

Lol I know. "DON'T CRY YAZOO." that circus clown-ish voice freaked me out for days. :aldo:

[Strifer]

That sentence is much better in Japanese XD

[Hitoshura]

Japanese, because of the lip-synching...

I agree... I like the FF7AC Japanese voices better, but I heard some of the FFX cutscenes in Japanese, and Yuna's voice just made me cringe ^^; I didn't really like the other voices either. ._.

I think Japanese and English can do as well as each other. In general, I think the Japanese have it down pat more often, but there are things that I just loved the English dubbing of more for whatever reason.

And lip synch can be fixed o.o; Although most of the time they don't bother. I believe they fixed it for FFX-2 main cutscenes...?

[Strifer]

FFXII is good in english but that's also because I heard english first.
But they say FFXII is one of the best with voice overs.
For the first time.

[The Chocobo Sage]

I don't think they do too badly with the English dub, although the first time I saw advent children it was with subtitles, and when I eventually bought the English language version I wasn't too impressed with some of the English voice work. With that said I think they got the English Sephiroth spot on.

[Neal]

Yeah, you're right. Sephiroth's voice was great. I also really like Rufus' :aldo:

[Rade]

Japanese, because of the lip-synching...

In some games they adjust the lip animation to fit the english voices. The english Crisis Core clips are lip-synched to English, and the Kingdom Hearts games are always lip-synched to English as well.

I like Japanese voices because I think they sound more emotional, but I think it's always good to have English because you can convey a lot more accents, like British or Western American.

[The Chocobo Sage]

Rufus voice was also well done. The only ones I wasn't too happy with were Tifa, Cait Sith (what the hell was with the Scottish accent?) and two of the SHM - Yazoo and Kadaj (I think)

[Strifer]

I love japanese voice overs best because its sounds so cool and emotional.

[Desi]

As for Crisis Core, i'm not happy with the voice actors, i may just play it to understand what's being said in certain dialogue, then i'll just go back to my JP version only because the voice acting sounds ALOT better.
You are ninety five percent wrong. Other then Sephiroth (should use Lance Bass) the English voice actors are quite good and even better then their japanese counterparts. Zack alone shits all over papertowel in my nose JP Zack. Watch the scene "Angeal, I love you man!" Line of the year.

FFXII's voices were great. Real talent.

For Advent children I went half and half. I loved Kadaj, cait sith, and Red XIII, wasn't so happy with Aeris, Yazoo, and Tifa during a few parts.

[Strifer]

Cloud Strife, Kadaj and Sephiroth in Japanese voices I liked best.

[Thimien]

i dont like alot of the voices the set on the FF games, i dont mind Van, nothing special on him, but nothing wrong eather.

[Vanisher]

Rufus voice was also well done. The only ones I wasn't too happy with were Tifa, Cait Sith (what the hell was with the Scottish accent?) and two of the SHM - Yazoo and Kadaj (I think)

i really loved cait sith english voice in dirge of cerberus , way better than JP one , blah at least for me.
