Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

I like all the voices. I'm very satisfied, but also annoyed by all the hate going around. Really the only person excluded from the hate is Vanitas, but his voice <3

So I was talking to some people about the trailers, and they brought up how the early FF13 trailers also sounded a bit...off, to say the least. But there was a significant improvement in the actual game, so I'm guessing the VAing will improve once the other 4 or 5 trailers are released.

Edit: I really like one of Terra's battle quotes, when he says "Say goodbye!"

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

I like Aqua's quote at the end, and her battlecry.

Vanitas <3.

Lol...Raining Sora...wait...this isn't the 3DS thread. XD I just can't get over that.

Is it Bale?

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

Like i said in the FF.Net PM, I got over it and the voice has grown on me. The trailer suffered from bad editing. Only Hamill and Vanitas had good lip syncing and Vanitas is in a helmet. Oh, and MX had lip syncing. There were no sound effects, so that killed it. I think when we get the other five or so trailers, Aqua will be amazing.

Actually there was a great lip synching for Aqua when she said "He's not as weak as you think..." XD

I'm gonna say that only Hamill and Vanitas had the best moments in the trailer. XD I wonder if the editing team either just didn't do anything, or if they actually took the time to f*ck this trailer up.

Honestly, who forgets to put in the background noises?! And it's only a rehash of TGS2009, which DID include background noises! It's like they want to f*ck everyone over. :C

And again, Aqua sounded great in the gameplay video (and her cutscene with Jaq <3)

I think part of the hate is the fact Willa happened to be in a show called Gossip Girl (that was the first thing I noticed about the complaints about Willa a month ago, before any audio was released; "F*CK IT'S THAT B*TCH FROM GOSSIP GIRL!!! AQUA'S GONNA SUCK!!! *FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!*") =/ And no, I've never seen the show.

The other part of the hate is the result of bad editing/scene choosing on the trailer, as I said before. Plus, this IS Willa's first time voice acting. And from what I've heard, Willa sounds pretty good.

Had the trailer included the cutscene with Jaq, instead of being a rehash of TGS2009, I think the overall opinion on Willa would be different. :C

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

Actually to comment on the lip-syncing: it's not off. Basically they used what Aqua said as a narration, cuz when you look at the trailer when she's holding up the charms, she says "nothing can ever drive you apart", but if you look at the screenshot of that scene she says "I made us good luck charms", and if you read her lips on the trailer u can see that she's saying "I made us good luck charms". The only lip sycing I saw that was completely off was Captain Hook.


AND BTW! I got flamed MAJOR for saying that HJO is Vanitas, cuz I was really excited and I didn't put it in spoiler tags, but on here it isn't in spoiler tags, and no one is saying anything.

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

I know you guys said no wiki or IMD or whatever. But if u listen closely to Terra in the E3 trailer, it really sounds like Christian Bale using a lighter tone in his voice.

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

So do we know who is Terra's VA? I'm not believing the whole Bale thing until its confirmed officially. And ive listening to all the English Terra clips available, and compared them to his voice in Dark Knight, and Howl's Moving Castle. To me they sound nothing alike. I'm not gonna stoke the fire like what happen with the Nimoy/Xehanort battle, although i was on the winning side on that one

But anyhoo ya, i really dont think it sound like bale

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

It was off at times. Was done of most of everybody but you can tell this trailer was rushed a bit.

I'm still happy about Vanitas. HJO did the best job ever.

I have a question I'd like to ask, but I don't know how to use spoiler tags.

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

UR comparing Terra's voice with Batman's from The Dark Knight? Of course they're not going to sound alike!

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread



Willa actually sounds good here. 8D This is what I was talking about earlier.

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

No of course not, i was thinking his Bruce Wayne voice

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

I watched the trailer. The editing was utter CRAP. I have nothing agianst the VA's. That trailer made the game seem less of what it will probably be.

Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread

lol at Hamill not being Terra xD
Just lol.
Anyways, I loved Vanitas' voice and I thought Terra's VA did a great job.

His voice spoke for it all. You can tell when you listen to it. But no, not confirmed. But doesn't need to with the trailer we got.

You weren't listening hard enough. Vanitas is HJO. You have to know what to look for. Skip in the trailer to 3:24/3:25 and you hear HJO's distinctive voice quirk

Watch his KH2 interview on Youtube, and then watch Vanitas in the trailer again. But, at least ur not thinking that he's voice by Mark Hamill like one retard on here did. lol

Really?? Wow. I had a feeling that Hamill was voicing Erauqs and he sounds like a happy Fire Lord Ozai. Lol.
