The real cool attention to detail in this scene is that if you go back and do Side quest past this chapter, he will start using that voice rather than his older "mature" sounding voice. It's definitely a nice touch they put into the game to make the world feel more alive and customizable to your play experience.

[@ftcnix7696]

An easy way to understand and accept that both voices make sense is like this: Red is 48, he is the oldest member in the party, he has lived long enough to accrue knowledge, wisdom and intelligence - this is how he is able to "act" as such. However, biologically, despite his years, he is still young - a teenager, and his hormones beckon him to be playful and excitable. This is his true self, but his experiences and shame over his father broke his confidence and he put on a persona. Upon returning to Cosmo Canyon and the events the therein, he found the confidence to be himself again.

[@Thecommander248]

Yeah, he's as bad as Cloud when it comes to self confidence issues. Don't forget, despite seeing his father and grandfather in Cosmo Canyon, he still starts to think he may just be another Sephiroth clone later on in FFVII. My head canon is that Nanaki was the party member that he gives the Black Materia hence why Cloud was able to convince him to hand it back over. Yuffie, Tifa, Cid, and Vincent would all hesitate to hand it over. (I didn't mention Barrett on purpose.) XD

[@stuffandthings617]

I really liked the part when he used his Persona again after I landed back in Costa Del Sol and for that side mission which started there. (Won't go into details to not spoil something.)

[@joshg.6315]

It’s like reverse dog years. Instead of aging 7 years for every human year, Nanaki ages 1 year for every 3 human years.

[@jonathanabgrall6075]

Damn someone in KZbin comments who understand him as a character, that's rare. His short story in On the Way to a Smile also confirms this.

[@allancg1022]

Guess being captured, tortured and experimented on also does a number in one. Dude is scarred for life, no wonder he does not want to be himself... Funnyly enough, shit goes in the same way for one fellow or another in this train. Maybe dealing with being insecure is a recurrent theme in the story, I wonder.

[@Simplystimulating]

That’s the point

[@jakebrodowski9]

Yeah, his first voice was what I would have imagined he sounded like when I first played the game. The only thing I will say is that Bugenhagen said that Nanaki was a teen for his race, so in a way he would sound much younger and more innocent. But seriously his mature voice is so much better. His teen voice is jarring coming out of something so strong and fearsome as Red. It's the exact opposite of Fennec from Zootopia.

I personally love his real voice, it fits him really well. I can picture nanaki talking like in the post ff7 novels, fits his dialogue better than the wise voice. The old voice is badass, but the new voice is cute and I like both versions of him..... His reason for not showing his real voice makes sense too, cause the party besides definitely wouldn't have taken him as seriously except for Aerith probably. It's also very accurate because a portion of ff7 rebirth players couldn't take him serious after, so he was right for hiding it 💔He still his old voice in some cases like if he's telling a story or talking to strangers so This isn't a brand new change either, this was in the original game just lost in translation like many things. FF7 english localization was awful. People complain about things changing in the remake trilogy, but those same people are complaining about this? It makes no sense. If they for some reason didn't include Nanaki's real voice it would have been a huge change in his character arc for seemingly no reason.

[@ForzaTerra89]

Please release a dlc with the original voice

[@mintdagger4316]

Even in OG FF7 it was stated Red was 48 by his species' age but that's equivalent to 15 or 16 in human years. There was actually a dialogue difference with Red XIII before and after cosmo canyon when you recruit Yuffie and chose the wrong dialogue options. Aerith in Remake said "This child's a friend" Also a couple of subtle hints in with Aerith in Rebirth when she's alone with Red XIII

[@24LionHearts]

I like his voice so what he doesn't sound badass. He being himself and I can appreciate that. Edit: Voice asside remember the fact that Nanaki could still body you. You remeber when him and Cloud did a finisher on the Motor Ball in part 1? He ripped its damn head off with his teeth.

[@WritingGeekNL]

Have any of you people played the original game recently? I mean, just look up Nanaki's dialogue after they arrive to Cosmo Canyon. Literally speaks like a child and deals with motivations and lessons that are more commonly used for a child character. I absolutely adored the fact that they changed the voice to suit his character's development in the story. Though I was still surprised by that fact. But I loved the fact that the characters chose to call him Nanaki from that point. That's sweet. And before people mention wisdom and age. Play FFIX. Vivi and Eiko are two characters filled with wisdom, both are genuine kids... hell... Vivi is more of a toddler.

[@lotus2001]

I’ve noticed this youtube channel gets a lot of rage bait comments

For many it's the issue that in the OG this "tone"-change was more noticable in its OG language since english or for me german has not that many variations of the same words with which such a change could be depicted.

[@JacobOlli]

Was it like this in the original game as well? I can't remember

Can't have two characters sounding totally serious all the time. Plus Nanaki does noticeably change in demeanour after Cosmo Canyon even in the OG. He, along with Yuffie, are considered the kids of the party.

I like how he revealed his true voice to Aerith early when you hear the ??? talking to her in lower junon. I realized it was him at the time, remembering he was biologically like 16 years old in the OG. You can see in this scene that Aerith isn’t surprised here at all

To be fair, Red/Nanaki is still a cat-dog thing, he has two modes: playful and fiercesome.

Also, Reed you beautiful bastard, photoshopping the wanted poster like that...

[@comboer3334]

Nah, people can say whatever they want about his younger voice "fitting his character", that wont change the fucking whiplash I felt when it happened, nor does it change that I personally dont like it.

[@unicron99999]

It kinda ruined Red XIII for me, not just because it was such an extreme change to what sounds more like a 10 year old than a teenager, but because that means after all they'd been through Nanaki never trusted his friends enough to show who he really was. Who he was altogether was a lie the whole time as he basically used Cloud and the others to get home.

To paraphrase some wise words from a very handsome shinra trooper: Don't let prior knowledge blind you. Clear your mind...

[@walmartpimp2]

At this point, I noticed the characters come in pairs: Aerith and Tifa are beautiful, sweet, and tough as nails; Red XIII and Yuffie are teenage warriors that can put on a facade of maturity when need be, but still have a lot of growing up to do; Barret and Cid are older tough guys who curse like sailors and can be quite passionate about their goals; Cloud and Vincent are the androgynous loner mysterious tough guy science experiments; and Cait Sith 1 and Cait Sith 2 are very much alike too.
