I'm not denying that it sounds just like him, but I thought Nimoy retired. If he's not even willing to go to ST conventions, why would he still be doing shit like voice acting?

Since we know some voice acting took place months ago, I'd say he did this before he went back into retirement.

The voice acting in SE games can be good, or at least, serviceable. Say what you will about FFXII as a game, but the voice acting was fantastic.

Too bad the sound compression made it sound like a recording of a recording. Did people not notice a ton of static in FF12?

(If you mean specifically the acting then yeah, that was good. Especially Gabranth, Cid and Balthier imo).



Again, those are in fact MX's lines from that very scene, of course there are small differences in the English version.

Checking the Japanese scene, yeah, it's not synched. But even then I'm pretty nervous about lip syching. More so than I am about the actual voice acting.

Worried that they're going to pull another Re:CoM?

I dunno, I'd hope they'd put in more effort into that considering this isn't just a throwaway last-minute deal to promote another game. It's a full fledge new entry in the franchise.

TBH i don't remember any static but it's been a while since I played xii.

I think the acting in FFXII was the only reason I didn't throw the game out after playing for a few hours. That and Balthier...and that Cid was crazy.

I really am worried. With Days, I didn't mind. But compared to the Japanese Re:CoM, I just could not get into the English Re:CoM. It was too distracting for me. Call me picky, but it ruined any potential of submersing myself in the scenes.

I keep trying to compare these split second scenes in the trailer of mouth movement to the Japanese cutscenes. I can't tell whether they're different.

I believe that this trailer is real, but just a place holder. I mean E3 is a month away and I'm sure they did this to settle the fans, and attract attention for E3.

On a side note I just visted IGN and they moved the release date of BBS to Q3. I hate to put a downer on everyone but the odds of an early september, late august release it looking practical

Nah, bad lip-synching is pretty distracting for me too. I don't actually have the english Re:CoM, but i've watched scenes on youtube. it's pretty iffy.

Also I agree that we're being presumptuous by judging the entirety of the game's voice acting on a few lines. We should wait to hear a few more voices first.

Just throwing that out there.

Are so many people shook up from the prank last weekend?

Still can't believe anyone fell for that but thought the jungle book world was fake. :/

you cant judge a game by a 20 second trailer and 2 lines of dialoge.

I saw JB thing when the vid was there so I knew it was real. And I wasn't online this weekend so I didn't experience the prank.

Agreed.

U know, I kinda find it fishy that the trailer AND the jungle book vid use the same song AND the vids came out practically at the same time...

...dude this better not be what MX sounds like...i really believe whoever voice acted that should have done better if he was supposed to be MX.

I am anticipating this game greatly and if they fail to deliver the type of voice acting the japanese version had then ill fall into a depression lol.
