Ewwwww, Noctis's voice is so terrible with his VA trying to be Hayter and sounding like Hayter when Hayter doubs Hayter... that is, ridicolous?
Hopefully, like in many cases with FF VA, trailers sound worst than the game because are voiced on the video itself and not taken from the game recording of the final version.

DAFUQ...? Noctis sounds NOTHING like Hayter.
The names are terrible, it's as if they went to a translation site and translated cool words that describe their personality.
O god, I just saw their surnames too, how stupid is this shit?
Ignis Stupeo Scientia = Fire "I am astonished" Science
Gladiolus Amicitia = Sword Friendship (lol)
Prompto Argentum = Ready Money
Noctis Lucis Caelum = Night Light Heaven
Others:
Stella Nox Fleuret = Star Night Shines
If you understand a bit of Latin like I do, or like many people speak a Romanised language, these names sound incredibly stupid.
Perhaps I should clarify. It's 3 American dudes and 1 British dude hanging out together having grown up with each other presumably in the same region. But of course we know the real reason why we have a British dude, because:
Because stereotypes.
Definitely nostalgia as far as X goes. Shit is terribad.
XII is amazing through and through. Definitely need to hear more of this cast before I make judgment. Really weird hearing them in English to me.
While everyone else is moody and boring, Prompto is like a dog who is hyper and fun loving just like his character description. He's really a breathe of fresh air, and his voice actor really went out of his way to put more energy into him to make it sound more believable, and overall realistic.
The dialogue isn't that bad though, what do you expect them to say?
But I'm very disappointed from the little I've heard from Noctis. He sounds moody and or depressed, with no energy in his voice at all. He reminds me of Lightning, but whom took on more of Cloud's emo-ish tone of voice. Noctis takes me as a quite type, but his voice is too down.

Yeah, I think they got Prompto's and Ignis's right. I meant to praise Ignis's originally though lol. He's my fav character so far and making him British is perfect!

I didn't say that, I said he sounds like when Hayter started exaggerating things of snake, like in MGS4, ruining the character. Forcingly making a voice that is not natural for the voice actor nor sounding natural to the listener.
To cut it short: bad acting going on here.
I generally don't like to judge an entire game's voice acting based on a 2 minute trailer. Seems fine to me. Square Enix puts a lot more into their localizations than most other companies, which people don't really seem to give them credit for. FFXIII fixed the lip sync problem, yet I've never heard anyone mention that as a strong point in the game despite years of complaints about that.
English voices will always sound weird if you've heard Japanese first. I'm sure the final product will be fine. Just like how the XIII trilogy and XII had good quality voices (I'm saying this independently of the quality of the script for certain games, of course).
I study Japanese and all, but I get really tired of people acting like listening to English dubs of these games would literally make their ears bleed. I only insist on Japanese audio if the dub is legitimately bad.

actually they expressed their interest in releasing dual audio.
Lightning Returns also got it, And Type 0 as well.

Yatta! Honestly...Im trying to contain my hype until the games finished....I remember being hyped from the FFXIII demo (Which eschewed paradigm shift for what was a much more enjoyable system to me at least). But I'm getting such a nostalgic vibe from FFXV. It feels like it belongs with the Final Fantasys of old.....Actually an accurate comparison would be FF4-FF12 are represented by the Original Star Wars Trilogy while the FFXIII games are the Prequel Trilogy.
FFXV and Episode VII need to deliver.

English voices for the 4 leads sound fine, imo.
The more literal translation would be "Is she safe?," so I think the new line fits more than "I trust she's well."

Because he sounds like batman.

Troy Baker and Professor Layton?
Sounds quite bad, in my opinion. I hope they release Japanese VA even if it's for a limited time.

Great performances from all four guys, and their voices all fit their characters. Except for Noctis. His deep voice does not fit him at all. Maybe it's just because I've been used to hearing him in Japanese for a long time, who knows.
Which Batman?
Oh shit, really? I didn't even grant Lightning Returns a passing glance, let alone read anything about it but that's pretty great.
it's probably also a reaction to the fact that we have all come to associate the various characters with their Japanese voices.
Since when Noctis turned Snake? I really don't like these voices at all. I pictured something close to Dissidia's Cloud for Noctis, not Christian Bale..
Now that you mention it, he kinda sounds like Dissidia's Squall. Same VA maybe?

Whoa, indeed out of nowhere :O
I don't know If I like them or not... Still feels so weird to me I mean come on after all these years of course it would.
Hmmmm... I hope that's mean we will get a worldwide release date like they promised us in one of the old interviews years ago.

Good fucking lord, is this a joke? Are we back in the early 2000's again? Why do they sound so bad?
They should have gotten Funimation to handle their dubbing or something because I swear they and Atlus are the only companies I've seen do a proper English anime dub. Unless Bebop and Champloo were by a different company.

Omfg wut. I thought this was a bumped thread when I first saw it.
I feel like Japanese voice come as more natural while the English ones are like someone told me what's this character like so I'll act like him. Like you know from the get go who's who and what's he like.
He doesn't sound like Kevin Conroy at ALL

Yeah, they struck gold with FFXII. Easily FF's best voice acting. Unfortunate that that they never could get that quality back.
This means they recored the demo. No point in reaching further yet.

Sounds better than FF XIII at least.
I see the same reactions for a lot of dub trailers, though. I honestly don't see the point in judging an entire game based on a trailer.
Noctis sounds nothing like that.
If anything he sounds like Raiden on his Jack the Ripper persona, like the other guy said.
