Wow! I never knew his voice was sexy...

Let's see, I've bought (well my younger sis paid the other half) for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children DVD last week with a FREE poster, I've decided to watch the whole film IN ENGLISH and this is how I thought about the character voices:

  • Cloud: I've already heard Steve Burton's voice in Kingdom Hearts, so it's no surprise he still reprising his role in Advent Children and it still really fits his voice.
  • Tifa: Well, it did fit her voice, but on the mobile phone, she sounded like a robot!
  • Barret: Fits well, nuff said.
  • Cid: Haven't heard him for a long time, but it did fits his rough attitude.
  • Yuffie: Well, at least her voice wasn't a hyper version of Rikku from FFX.
  • Red XIII: For some reason, even though his accent's a bit British, he does sound and fit well.
  • Vincent: He sounded like Snake from Metal Gear Solid having a bad day with his throat, but it still fits.
  • Cait Sith: Scottish accent?! Don't usually see this in many video game movies. More surprisingly, the Japanese version had him in Scottish accent too!
  • Rufus: Cool and intelligent. That's all I could say.
  • Reno: His voice did fit well, but no 'yo' slang in it. Drat!
  • Rude: His voice did fit well too and I'm surprised Crispin Freeman did that, even though he did the voice of Albel from Star Ocean: Till the End of Time!
  • Elena: Short role, but fits.
  • Tseng: The same goes for him, having his voice done by a Chinese bloke or something.
  • Reeve: And for him.
  • Kadaj: Young and violent. That's very fitting for his voice.
  • Yazoo: His voice fits well too, but sounds a slightly fruity, though with a hint of Riku's English voice from Kingdom Hearts.
  • Loz: I'm really worried about this when he was actually a big softie at heart, but thankfully at least the voice actor actually cried.
  • Marlene: She sounded like an eight year old girl, but it fits well.
  • Denzel: The same goes for him.
  • Zack: Short role too, but at least his voice did fit well.
  • Aerith: She really sounded a lot like Yuna from the English version of FFX (btw, Mena 'American Pie' Suvari provided the voice of Aerith), but it really fits her well.
  • Sephiroth: And finally, I've come to the last person that I have been dreading to hear his voice in English, but...[highlight, if you don't want to know]....MY GOD, GIVE GEORGE NEWBERN A TREAT, because his voice is way too sexy to describe this! And thank the Lord, Lance Bass isn't going to reprise his role.

And that's my summary. Feel free to commment on the voices, whether you like it or not.

Quote of the moment - 'Reno: (speaking in high pitch) Hel-lo!

Rude: Hell no! (The two Turks ran away like scared chocobos.)' - English version of FFVII: Advent Children
