Cloud's remake VA is great in this game

[@wren7195]

Hell yeah. I was immediately thinking about that when they announced the CC remake. Brianna did a wonderful job as well. Andrea had done her best, but I think she either OVERthought the character, or was overDIRECTED... her performances in CC and AC were... "different." AC was good to me, CC was.... well, poorly written and directed. Always thought Steve's version in CC and AC were good, but Cody NAILED Cloud in my opinion, and I'm a very old-school girl. I was 16 when FF7 came out. Had to steal a playstation to even play it (borrowed) and stole the game itself (rented... but the original copy I got wouldn't work right, so I stupidly popped disc one out and shoved disc two in, and the game somehow worked....but for the Mako Reactor explosion, we got the WEAPONS at crater sequence lol so I had nooo idea what was really going on. Plus, no mem cards!) Cody nailed his delivery. Not only was he younger, he's a "different" person... which this Cloud is. Aerith? That's Brianna thousand percent, I can't say how much I love her. Having her stick to somewhat the original delivery with her tone? Perfect. Never really liked Zack until Crisis Core. I felt like he was usurping Cloud's story originally, and it certainly confused the hell out of Aerith's relationship with Cloud, to me. After AC I was.... frustrated. I forget what developer (might've been Uematsu-san himself) claimed during development of FF7, one of his family passed away, I think it was his mother... I don't recall the interview. But there was an insistence on accepting death as a part of life, and that entire tone was what drove Aerith's story element. I admire the bravery of it, but I admit I was quite traumatized originally. I'm a bit of an eccentric, and the characters meant so much to me. The first Lunar game was the only other time I had cried in a game. RPGs huh. But you're damn right. Cody NAILED this, both not just a younger Cloud, but a DIFFERENT Cloud.

Don’t forget too the new voice actor for Zach is stuck with the same bad PSP script of this game. I always go back and watch the new end scene of Intergrade when he’s standing in front of the church, and this reminds me that when given the creative freedom he actually sounds really good.

[@ras6486]

Yes the intergrade ending was good. We can certainly look forward in rebirth. Critics should listen to his lines in the 25th anniversary. It's short but you can hear it has emotions. Plus people forgets the actors are only as good as the director, if the director says it's good then the actor has done his job. So if people has problems with the voice actor go blame S.E.

To the discussion about body movements and subtlety of facial expressions in newer games. Relying on body expression is still a great thing and facial should not be the only thing devs rely on as that's how you get people having to take off helmets or masks everytime they have to talk otherwise the devs think there is no way they can get emotion across when body language is right there.

[@sapinta]

Body language is very powerful stuff, you hardly need facial expressions if it's done properly. The best if when they complement each other, but I also love when the body language somehow contrast with dialogue and facial expressions and it's used to underscore conflicting emotions or outright insincerity. It's very difficult though, it requires great sensitivity from the author and great attention from the viewer. Most of the time body language is just used to amplify whatever is being said or just as character's quirks. I don't blame them, I don't expect most players of a quick action game to pay much attention to that.

[@soulsava8456]

I just had a crazy random thought when I seen this pop up. So in FF7 remake whenever you see Zach he has that white background. In advent children when Cloud talks to his memories the background is white. When cloud is falling and taking to himself about a memory of scraped knees the background is white. What if when the fates got defeated the memories of Zach are so strong his whispers manifested into a being like Sephiroth. Edit: not the clone versions of Sephiroth but the ones that only cloud can see that give him a headache.

[@fendelphi]

That would be kind of cool, but I dont think it is. The Sephiroth that only Cloud can see has no agency in the real world, only with Cloud(it is basically the part of him that IS Sephiroth). The Zack we see is looking for Aerith, opening doors etc.. It might be a manifestation from Aerith though. In the ending of Remake, both her and Zack are smiling as they are passing each other(which prompt her "I miss it. The steel sky." line). We then see Zack in Intergrade, looking for Aerith. It is all so weird, I think we just have to see what they do in Rebirth.

Ooh I guess that's what Odin will look like in future parts of Remake? Looks great.

[@johannparis9445]

Yes and the same can be told for Clsta del Sol, Junon (cliff from, town even if we havent seenthe dowtown from Junon, Nibelheim, Gongagal. Only thing ks that you have to make the difference because the layout isnbased on the ancient one: psp one and so the ps1 version (think to the slum c'early it s not the future _ff7 remake layout and we can say the se for Nibelheim i hope). Color for Costa del Sol is clearly more whiteish and not as yellowish than before. We are lucky this raster is part of ff7 remake compilation ^^

1:59:42 I swear if we get to see the LOVELESS Play in FF7 Episode Rebirth or Even FF7 Final Episode I would watch the Play, it would be very interesting.

[@michiganjack1337]

Yeah I just started playing this game for the first time 4 days ago, and I'm definitely addicted. I've probably got 4 hours of sleep this week, staying up and playing through it.

[@shadowcaptain2]

[@Rebel_Friend]

[@harryosbourne451]

What the hell type of trick are you trying to pull?!?! Remake Part 2 isn't even released yet, you LIAR!!!!!!

[@Rebel_Friend]

@@harryosbourne451 Oops! You caught me!

[@SuperDwango]

The voice and the delevery of lines that the actor for zack does in this game is one that I think would be a better match with sonic the hedgehog.😅

[@Harmor77mo]

I love the new VA for Zach lol. It makes him sound so naive and innocent

[@Acoto]

Zack's the kind of character that I' believe got lost in Kingdom Hearts and somehow found his way into the FF7 world.

[@PhantomyreValentine]

Can we at least admit how good the VA for Genesis is?

[@toonman5099]

21:12 - 22:32 I absolutely KNOW that voice! That's Marissa Lenti! Anyone familiar with Team Four Star knows her for doing most of the Shamoshians in the Broly movie, the little green people that had the pink hair. 34:57 - 42:13 Plus Japanese to English localization during this time wasn't that good, or at least still was for some companies. Granted there are still some things and nuances in Japanese that don't carry over into the English to this day. This was during a time where they just tried to carry over the same cadence and performance from Japanese and thought that's all they had to do. That's why a lot of JRPGs tended to have very formal and by-the-books dialogue and tone. It's why Max tends to say "everyone in this besides Zack talk like an anime robots". If you want an extremely egregious example, look at Metroid: Other M. 3:11:45 - 3:12:38 Not gonna lie, that DOES sound interesting.

I had like $40k for the wallet thief and he still said that wasn’t enough. 😂
