Ugh Axel sounds weird, but not bad...

I hope that was not Xemnas, it sounded like Xaldin

Before this video I had never really gotten a good look at the back of Axel's head. But now I can tell.. It looks like an explosion.

Saix sounds simply epic for the intro. I kind of wanted Xemnas though

...My previously blind faith in the accuracy of the dubs is dying, video by video ;___;

At least they have good VA. <3

Seconded. I've checked out the rest of the videos, and sad to say, I'm quite disappointed with how they altered some of the characters' lines along with their original meanings.

:(

Without spoiling anything crucial, can you give me an example?
Instead of doing direct translations, they altered the sentence structure and words so it'd be more like standard English.

Well of course not. This is a different region for the same game, not the whole thing retooled and remade.

Yeah, but some have been altered until they lose their original meaning, especially to follow the mouth movements. It's just a little pet peeve of mine.


The voice acting's pretty great, although Axel sounds a little strange to me. :\

Is that necessarily a bad thing? You can't have broken English in the dubs. Look in the end, I'm surprised that most of you fucks bitch about how Japanese VAs are better just because they sound better or is it because it's so darn impossible to understand them without subs that it's exotic. Stop bitching and enjoy the game.

Lol. I like how experience Quinton is about it. He'll talk slow then real fast so it almost looks natural, but it really doesn't because Axel's mouth is just flabbing around. Like in the first U.S. trailer:
What do you want to do, Xion?
ZOMG, that looked terrible!!!!

It sounds pretty good. How in the world did they get this, anyway?
Axel irritates the piss out of me, "lol, i'm saying got it memorized even though the sentence doesn't even call for it lol".

But it's not like they changed the story right? That's what they did in the Chain of Memories remake.
The story didn't change in Re:CoM.

Uhh, I don't think he was complaining at all. In fact, I think the only one expressing slight disappointment was me. :/


The VAs ARE pretty good.

Except I didn't say broken English. God you're dumb. I meant a literal translation with language that would be complete, but sound awkward, was adapted to make more sense in modern English.
