i haven't watched\played something in my native language in like 15+ years, 99% of material i consume is in english, you don't have to be a native english talker to find some voices\acting subpar or annoying.

i'm happy that you can enjoy everything tho

Well mostly everything. I find Barret's VA annoying. And i'm only three hours into the game though ,so maybe there will be other characters later on with VA that i don't like.

Yeah he sound kinda caricatural and try hard

 

[Synless]

He honestly reminds me of Kratos VA (GoW 1-3) the way he talks.

Did anyone from their Best Buy purchase get their preorder summon yet?

 

[ClanOfNone]

Why is biggs looking like charlie sheen.

lmao, I thought the same thing, English va even kinda sounds like him sometimes.

I'm enjoying the crap out of this, but it is powered by nostalgia for the most part. If I didn't put a 100 hours into the original, I don't think I'd enjoy it nearly as much.

That Materia Shop sign...? This game is not going to age well. The Original games prerended backgrounds look less pixelated.

Love Barrett in this actually. Dude is a committed member of an eco terrorist group with a chain gun for a hand. Character like that needs to be raw testosterone. He’s almost an action movie throwback in the way Cloud is an anime Edgelord throwback. Barrett got a great sense of humor too.

really happy with the voice acting all around. We’ve come a long way since X

All aboard, to the HYPE TRAIN

If theres one thing that they seemed to get right, its the character representations

 

[TTOOLL]

2 hours in, I'm taking my time and enjoying the hell out of it! I'll just start the first few quests now. Graphics are insane, but some parts of the slums are not that great overall. Also, I really like what they have done with the battle system and management so far. I'm playing Classic mode, btw.

 

[Nankatsu]

Man, I'm only getting my deluxe on Tuesday

Any patch released yet?

 

[Psykodad]

Glad I'm not the only one noticing it. Lol

 

[base]

why in the fuck you people play a game like this with english dub instead of jap dub?

the demo was already full of clues about the quality of the english va...

How do you switch to Japanese dub? My EU version doesn't have it.

 

[Nankatsu]

What's up with people complaining with English DUB?

Played the demo and I thought it was pretty damn good.

 

[LemmingWithaParachute]

"Playstation settings > Language > Chose Japanese. Only the voice over will change, the demo will stay in English for text and menu."

i haven't started the game yet, but i heard of the game being shipped with like 4 different dub...are you trying to scare me?

Physical version.

Checked the ingame menu and don't see any options for language change. I'll do as someone mentioned previously. From the console's settings. What a pity.

It is pretty good. These are just purists.

 

[Boneless]

This game is something else. I was impressed so far, but chapter 9

Spoiler

the wall market is something else, fighting in the colosseum, the victory fanfare and cloud spinning his sword after the first fight, absolutely amazing

.

The voiceacting is top notch, Aerith is very cute so far. The graphics are special, sure it has some rough edges, but several times I will just gawk at its beautiful scenes.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

It's fine. There's been far worse- Personally only play JP games with JP Audio, but there wasn't anything offensive about the dub.

That's weird.

The digital EU version has an ingame option to change languages.
You only need to restart the game for the language to actually change.

Oh I think it's only in the main menu, not while playing. I'll check it out.

Yeah I got the Chocobo Chick summon earlier this morning at 1:12AM. If you use gmail, check your promotions tab or generally search 'Best Buy'.

The English dub is fine for me. Don't know why people are complaining about. Just get used to it.

just found out my BB copy will arrive by this evening. already bought it last night on digital so i will keep the physical in shrink wrap for collector purposes.

Even Kobayashi Keiki worked on FF7 Remake to compose cues and music

[#Phonepunk#]

that feeling when you hear that music and realize you are looking at what used to be two tiny characters on a 2d background and it's now a full 3D cinematic with lighting and camera moves.

this really hit me when it was cutting to flashbacks and especially footage of the villains, plotting in their skyscraper. it's like they had this grand cinematic vision in 1997 but they just didn't have the technology yet. they ended up writing stage direction, dialog, etc. but it's more like a theater play vs this hyper stylized interactive movie.

the remake is making so much sense to me rn. really hope they announce more.

90% of social media for this game is about Tifa.

I used to think that gamers being thirsty neckbeards was a myth, but it's true. All of it.

Weebs enjoy playing over exaggerated generic jrpgs but find this cringy?

 

[ThatGamingDude]

Good thing I'm a little sick today

Gonna pull a half day and pick it up on my way home

It's the little things in life...

 

[TheMan]

Played the game last night, basically just beat the demo portion again before going to bed. I noticed they added an extra scene or two, which was nice. Looking good overall, excited to dive in after work today. Luckily I only work half days on Fridays, but unfortunately I also work Saturday AND Sunday this week. Also my kids are now addicted to Minecraft which is on my PS4 so prying them away from that is going to be hard.

Things could be worse though, lol

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Voice acting is fine, matches the sort of on-the-nose archetypes of each IMO. Badger voicing Wedge is perfect.

I love it.

I LOVE IT.

They actually fucking pulled it off.

 

[gela94]

I must be one very unlucky person lately My PS4 controller is all of sudden not working properly anymore WTF So after checking every trick and tip on YT and opening it and finding everything clean . .I give up, I guess I need a new controller . And why are these controllers still so fucking expensive??

 

[SigSwat551]

My first final fantasy game ever. Chapter 9 had so much going on.....Amazing!

 

[Shrap]

These people are weebs and not meant to be taken seriously.

It seems more like the weebs would be the ones who enjoy this kind of voice acting as it's like an anime: Everyone grunting to confirm agreement, saying each others names way too much, laughing at the stupidest moments, constant shock gasps and groans, the need to make some sort of noise when on screen during a cutscene and, of course, always having a shitty ill fitting one liner no matter the situation.

I can't think of better voice acting for weebs.

 

[Exentryk]

In chapter 9 right now and having a great time. Also, of the various Aerith's themes in this and past, I think the below "Goodbye" version might be my favourite:

 

[HotPocket69]

Where the fuck is my boy RPGCrazied at

 

[Malakhov]

5 hours in now, I'm in chapter 3. I didn't like Tifa that much in the original and I can't quite put my finger on it now but maybe it's the voice acting, new script, but I love this girl now.

 

[Manji Uzuki]

In chapter 3 at the moment. Really enjoying it so far. I usually dislike english VA in this kind of games but I like this one so decided to play this way and probably second run will be in japanese.

By the way ...

Spoiler: Spoilers chapter 2

The whole scene with Sefirot was great and unexpected. The part of him explaining how he enjoyed killing Cloud's mother was sick.

Lets see how things continue in this version of the story.

 

[Manji Uzuki]

Sorry, double post by mistake

 

[njean777]

Really enjoying the combat, its fluid and fast paced. Plus even on a base ps4 this game looks phenomenal. I remember being a kid (11 or so) and beating the original, so far I really like this game. I cannot believe I am actually playing it, its surreal. Thank you Square.
