I really love how faithful JP Donald is to actual Donald. It almost sounds like they’re one voice actor but multilingual. They just have the same vocal technique.

[@emiliemuller6197]

...you can't understand japanese Donald, you just can't...

[@kittyobi4846]

but what if I can tho

[@TA-ew9bi]

Yoki Zeshi if you're Japanese you probably can. English Donald is even hard to understand, but I'm a native English speaker so I can fill in the blanks

[@taikaniinimaki7234]

Actually, I get Japanese Donald _better_ than the English Donald

[@Blast4slayer]

Actually i can hear japan pronoun word by word in katakana if japan dub or voice but if donald i only hear spell casting

Goofy is just indian 😂😂

[@osu5220]

if a couldn't understand the donald's vocie on english i wont understand his voice in japanese

[@stealthlock6634]

I already don’t speak Japanese, yet Japanese Donald sounds EXTRA incomprehensible...just sounds like Donald. Donald gibberish. It’s perfect. But I also wish I could make out the syllables XD it’s magical, holy crud his voice actor is talented as heck to do Donald so perfectly

[@Jekuma]

Mickey sounds like what happens when an American middle schooler tries to speak Japanese.

[@takemetoyonk]

Way too fluent

[@krisamanelle8992]

They're all equally good so it's difficult to choose! This is a list of my preferred voice actors: Donald - English Goofy - English Mickey - English Leon - English Yuffie - Japanese Aeris - English Cid - Japanese Cloud - Japanese :D

[@donnelwaddledee965]

Japanese Goofy sounds like the president of Hocotate Express in Pikmin 2

[@VocaGeek]

In my opinion: Donald: English. I'm used to the English voice, with my mom being a Disney Obsessive. Goofy: English. Same reason as Donald. Mickey: Definite English. YOU KNOW WHY! Leon: English. Don't know why. Yuffie: Japanese. A higher voice fits her better. Aeris: Japanese. Same as Yuffie. Cid: English. Goes along with his appearance. Cloud: English. Don't know why.

Mickey's Japanese VA also voices as Iori Yagami from King of Fighters 🙂

[@ShadowShikome]

Donald: Both surprisingly. His Japanese VA is Really GOOD. Goofy: Same Donald. His Japanese VA is also REALLY GOOD. Mickey: Same. Both. So lay off the hate.The JVAs are just legendary just like their English Counterparts. Leon: Actually I like his English VA better. Maybe because of Dissidia. Yuffie: um...undecided. BTW didn't Mae Whitman voice Katara in Avatar? Aeris/Aerith: Japanese. Hands down. Cid:.Japanese? Cloud: Actually Both. But I like his English VA more. Tifa: Japanese.

[@PastelHime]

Mickey, Goofy and Donald's Japanese VAs are REALLY talented, of course disney wouldn't mess up with it

[@arttech-lopo]

Rest in Peace Yu Shimaka

[@NaruNoteProductions]

Oh my GOD!! Mickey's English all the way but the Japanese voice actor has the same last name as Ritsuka from Loveless! ^^

[@VGAfanatic]

Wayne Allwine's not as enthusiastic as Mickey as he is in the cartoons. But then again, Mickey is more of an anime hero in the KH games.

[@DeltaSilver88]

The two that most stood out to me were English Cid (much better than Japanese Cid) and Japanese Cloud (who just sounds fantastic compared to English Cloud - Takahiro Sakurai's deeper voices always sound great).

[@SparkyTv_203]

Donald has the most accurate Japanese voice.

[@CommanderBroShep]

Steve Burton as Cloud is awesome. He brings out Clouds personality perfectly.

[@firelily0529]

Well, that's too bad because I'm Japanese and I understand Donald pretty well. Also, Mr. Yamadera, the person behind the Japanese Donald, was actually praised for his dub by Disney. Disney gave him a wristwatch of Donald with his name engraved on it, I think. So Yeah.... Why are we comparing languages anyways? I thought this was just comparing voice.

[@ChromaLuke]

Hey, Radiant Garden is actually one of Cheria Barnes's Hi-Ougis in Tales of Graces. So, they put the name for a town.

[@yoyoyoy500]

@ hyy4bu54Mickey's Japanese his voice doesn't sound as cheery as it does in english but it's more like firm and masculine but still warm and friendly.I like it.

[@kakep0p92]

I honestly like both versions, but… Japanese Mickey sounds.. Off. It doesn’t sound like Mickey, really. Bits and pieces do, but it really just sounds like the voice actor was confused, and was MOCKING Mickey’s voice. It’s okay, though, I can live with it. Donald. My GOD. Japanese Donald sounds NO different from English. Same vocal technique and pitch, which musta took a lot of training. Sounds like just one voice actor. And Goofy I honestly like Goofy in Japanese. I don’t get why people think it’s funny, to me it sounds accurate! A bit deeper, sure, but the way he says ‘Gawrsh!’ In Japanese just sits so well. I prefer English, but even then! Really good.

[@HarmonicDX]

Donald's voice is the absolute best.

[@VGAfanatic]

I like Hideo Ishikawa as well. He pulls of the leadership role in Leon as well. Plus, I like his performances as Itachi and Ukitake.

[@HereWithoutYou0]

I realize Goofy is much better in English, but in my case the Japanese voice is the one I grew up with, so I'm a bit biased towards it.

[@LimitBreaker77]

Well, yeah, it was really well done, but what I meant was it's relatively hard to hear compared to the others. And it's not really comparing languages, we're still on the subject of Donald's voice, really.

[@ChromaLuke]

Only their English voices can fit Mickey, Donald and Goofy. The Japanese voices sound weird. Although Donald's Japanese voice sounds okay, he did got the voice right.

[@KareemHillJr]

Japanese Mickey sounds better than I thought he would.

[@lilrocker99]

I will always remember Cloud by his Japanese voice. Sakurai Takahiro is just my favourite because of all the roles he's done and the categories some of those roles are in.

[@Spitfire_94]

When leon was explaining about the construction of a new hollow bastion what was the large dark floor at the bottom of that castle, was it heartless?

i just like sakurais voice.... i honoustly love it. he's made so many roles i like i've grown keen into it

hearing donald in japanese was pretty interesting. i thought it was cool how they emulated the american voices so well. americans should do that when translating animes. well for the most part i wouldnt want to hear gokus japanese voice in english lol

I can't believe for the main characters all these like really famous actors and actresses were the voices. you do not see that often.

[@queenofpinkroses]

It is pretty freaking epic that Square could find a voice actor who can speak in Donald's voice in Japanese!

[@VGAfanatic]

I enjoy Doug Erholtz as Leon. He sounds very tough, like a real leader. Now that I listen to him more closely, he does kinda sound like Gin Ichimaru from BLEACH. David Boreanez does pull off Leon's sullen, shameful nature in KH1, too.

[@Jindrakesdragon]

Donald - English Goofy - English, well japanese if you like special goofys :) Mickey - English definetly Leon (Squall) - English Yuffie - Japanese definetly Aeris - Japanese Cid - Japanese Cloud - Both (he sounds good either way) Tifa - Both

[@LilMissMezzo]

Man...if they brought in Andrea Bowen earlier for KHII and FFVII: AC, I would have enjoyed seeing Aerith a whole lot more. I'm really glad they found her for Crisis Core.

[@KawaiiCindyChan]

donald: BOTH! xD goofy: english all the way, japanese sounds a little deep ^^ mickey: english, it's so cute!! :D leon: japanese OWNS *0* Yuffie: japanese, it's all hyper and cute :) Aeris:japanese, because maaya sakamoto is just plain AWESOME Cid: his japanese is really funny ^^ Cloud: BOTH sound so badass and cool!!! *0* Tifa: english, i really dunno why thou...

[@TerasXertas]

Um, I'm pretty sure Leon is voiced by Dough Erholtz in every game he appears in after Kingdom Hearts, including Dissidia Final Fantasy. David only voiced him in Kingdom Hearts, the same way Billy Zane only voice Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, in Kingdom Hearts and then was replace by Richard Epcar in all the games after.

[@P2tbAnimeGirl]

Donald - English Goofy - English Micky - English, but Japanese isn't bad either. Leon - Japanese Yuffie - Japanese AERITH - English Cid - English Cloud - Japanese

[@ThePinkhearts23]

Think about about a japanese person trying to do a country voice, Japanese goofy was pretty good 8/10 :)

[@cameronjr8]

Don’t forget George Newbern and Toshiyuki Morikawa as Sephiroth.

[@avevrock91]

Leon's voice actor in 2 was Doug Erholtz, David Boreanaz only did the first game

Squall (Leon)'s voice in Japanese is Itachi's voice actor and Cloud's is Sasori's.

I only just figured it out that Radiant Garden is a reference to the Gardens back at FF8!!!!

Wow!!! I didn't know Maaya Sakamoto played Aerith in the japanese version!!! That's so cul!!!

Jap. sounds pretty cool Leon:Japanese is better, english sounds bored or something Yuffie: ;D japanese! Aerith:Japanese Cid:English, "southern' accent" Cloud:Both english GH actor and the japanese one ftw Tifa:The english is how I always imagined her

[@CorvinQrow]

Leon is voiced by Doug Erholtz in Kingdom Hearts II look it up.

[@at9040]

the moment you realise itachi and sasori are in kingdom hearts

[@DeltaSilver88]

They're both in FFVII too, since Hideo Ishikawa is Cait Sith. They're also in Bleach as Ukitake and Izuru, in Saint Seiya's Hades arc as Jabu and Shiryu, and in Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter as Ryoma and Go. That's a ton of major characters.

[@jjj7790]

The Japanese Donald voice is dead-on. Goofy's voice sounds off in Japanese, but at the same time, I'm not sure what else they could've done. Goofy's vocal tics feel very uniquely American and I'm not sure if there is a way that can be translated to Japanese. So I guess they gave him a dumb guy cartoon voice?

[@FloatingMist]

OMG Aeris' japanese VA plays Haruhi in OHSHC!!!

[@danielledear1]

I like the Japanese voice actors for Cloud and Riku. (even though Riku wasn't shown in this vid). :D

[@Akizakura202]

Hmm, maybe it's 'cause I'm so used to hearing them in English, but I actually prefer the English voices. Disney characters, granted, but even the ones that originally were Japanese. Japanese Goofy was weird, Donald actually sounded about the same, just felt like he was talking gibberish, and Mickey kind of the same story XD Leon's voice is definitely sexier in the English, though---Cloud, either way XD

[@VGAfanatic]

Aeris, Cloud and Tifa (English) sound a little more like their actual FF7 counterparts should. Soft, deeply conflicted or encouraging and romantic (as in hoping for a better time). Their JP voices sound a little too strong-willed or upbeat.

[@Kirjava6]

I'm glad you like it ^^

[@ivieeeful]

@ShadowTheDeathhog I knew I couldn't be the only one with that thought

[@Skyblaze112]

Aeris: I vote Japanese on this one. Her English sounds a bit too low and scratchy. Cid: I like both. They both suit his character personality well. Cloud: Again, both. His English does seem a bit bland, but that's just the way he is in KH. They captured his personality well in both. Tifa: Her Japanese voice is ok, but her English is better. I don't know why, it just suits her better.

[@tomimn2233]

i like Leon Yuffie Aerith and Cloud in the Japanese version. The rest i like the english version.

[@jordonvazquez7620]

Hideo Ishikawa sounds like Ryotaro Okiayu.

[@AnimatorZeeVIDEO]

Donald: Both Goofy: English Mickey: English, but the Japanese isn't half bad. Leon: Japanese, but the English is okay. Yuffie: I liked it better when Christy Romano did her, but the English is still okay. Aeris: Japanese. Her English voice just doesn't work... Cid: Both. XD Cloud: Japanese Tifa: English

[@nujubex]

That's the wrong voice Actor you have for Leon. The one you listed played him in kingdom hearts 1. But in kh2 Leon is played by Doug erholtz. The same guy who voices gin, and uranara from bleach, asuma from naruto, t.k from digimon :) oh and mae Whitman who plays yuffie is also katara from avatar! Haha

[@DarkCloudLightFF7DCL]

Yuffie sounds like Katara from Avatar lol

Sounded ok for both languages Though if I were generalize i'd say Disney characters better in english, Square characters better in Japanese. Though I must say many of em were close

[@mexiaznann]

didn't mandy moore do aerite for the first kingdom hearts?

[@eastull]

Even though the Japanese Donald was dead on, it's just plain disconcerting to hear Donald, Goofy and Mickey speaking Japanese like that after growing up with the status quo of their english voices. And I will admit that neither of Squall/Cloud's actors even sounded like they were even trying XDD But then again that's par for the course with Squall/Cloud and their emoness.

Was I the only one who liked Leon/Squall's KH2 voice actor better than his KH1? Well, he'd make a better Dissidia Squall, since after Squall IS 9 years younger in the game o.o

[@linegenrou]

Weird,I didn't imagine Squall sounding like that (Japanese voice)...he sounds too smooth.I imagined him more serious and stoic. I actually like his english voice better...stiil,not what I imagined him sounding either.
