Zack meets Cloud (Rick Gomez & Cody Christian) - Crisis Core Reunion

I wanted to hear what current Cloud's voice would sound like alongside the old Zack voice.
EDIT: This is in no way to disrespect Zack's current voice actor, Caleb Pierce. I think he did a wonderful job with Crisis Core Reunion, Remake, & Rebirth.

[@Farron6]

The Cloud VA really gets across Cloud is just 16 at this point

[@atable2505]

True, and at the end when cloud wakes up and sees zack is dying, his voice is deeper because he’s not a teenager anymore, which I think is a nice touch

[@notoriousalien]

this makes me smile so much. i love steve burton but cody really makes you realize cloud is just a innocent kid here. works so perfectly with rick gomez as zack

[@Lynel104]

I really wish Rick Gomez could've voiced Zack in this game

[@Gears1605]

Brother, we all wished that

[@داركماتر-ت1ط]

​@@Gears1605 this new voice is like his Nose are blocked

[@ElricSowrd]

I hate the new voice of Tifa the most. It's terrible, that voice is not Tifa Lockheart!

[@DrCoomer_1]

​@@ElricSowrdEhhhh? It's not that bad.

[@ElricSowrd]

@@DrCoomer_1 It's too low pitch to be Tifa! I don't like the new voice in the Remakes, it sounds terrible! 😩 She doesn't sound like Tifa Lockheart to me at all, she doesn't sound anything like the previous actresses who did the voice: Yuko Minaguchi from Ehrgeiz, Ayumi Itou and Rachael Leigh Cook. Rachael was already perfect enough for the role in the English speaking language. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnKufaeQYr6bbLs

[@MariusBoss11458]

Best Gongaga

[@echoplanet2000]

This sounded much better having these two voice act against each other.

[@bentucky4324]

Thanks for doing this. Really needed this. Missed Rick Gomez’ Zack so much that Reunion felt unlively.

[@janoswozniak]

if someone could just make a mod of this game with Zack’s voice replaced with Rick Gomez’s and keep all the rest of the new cast I’d be so happy. I’m just disappointed with how Caleb’s performance was in this game and it really took me out of a LOT of the important scenes like this one.

[@ZacklFair]

i think there is a mod out for that.

[@notoriousalien]

there is a mod now! i used it as well during my playthrough. though i will say it doesn't help too much, because in the original game only 50% of the voicelines were voiced anyway. but i still enjoyed hearing rick for iconic scenes in my playthrough.

[@liaminator4950]

Good news from rebirth, caleb does a great job here! Maybe its because theres less to compare him to, but hes really selling zacks vibe here :)

[@ninjasrule]

Same omg it was so like….exaggerated? I mean thanks for his hard work, but Rick is just a legend.

[@JukeboxSavage]

Ah man, this would be the dream combo. Props on the mashup, it was flawless.

[@makisbizarreadventure4669]

Me? Gongaga. The definitive edition

[@pattinaggiojo]

Aaaaaaaaaand so much better! I hate to diss people's work, but new VA just doesn't hit right. Rick Gomez is the best Zack.

[@mariogirl8100]

The perfect combination!

[@bigscrum]

ok but also the music is so great in this game, really adds a lot of emotion

[@ultimatecrystalfire4120]

This sounds better I love it

[@jamesrussell2936]

Zack is such a cool dude.

[@chasedworld0419]

Thankyou! this is the best

[@rheanonjasmyne]

This is the ZACK and Zack's VA I LOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jasond4628]

I rather keep Rick Gomez, George Newberg, and the original voice actors of Angeal and Genesis in this game. This will be much better.

[@Kat1kafka]

Why couldn't they just do this instead of redoing all the voice lines?

[@JaggedVII]

Because not every part of the game was voiced

[@ethanbailey1956]

Well Cody is a much better cloud than Steve imo

​@ethanbailey1956 Steve never got the chance to do young cloud. He's better for a more mature cloud but if he had the chance, I bet he would fit. Remember cloud is a country boy. Steve has thar country boy tone that is slightly conveyed when he does clouds voice. All he has to do is just lighten his voice a bit and add a bit of innocence to the character and you have what we would hear here, except it would be Steve.

[@theplatdream26]

​@Steve played his voice in the old crisis core? You kinda admitted that Cody is just better at adding depth?

[@notoriousalien]

@@theplatdream26 dude never said anyone was better, he prob meant that the voice director didn't make steve try to make his voice higher and more childish like cody did.

[@ruthriviera95]

Very cool!!!!

[@finixmoon127]

00:20 Split second of Caleb Piercing through the edit

[@Jxudo]

How did Caleb actually listen to Rick's full performance and still f it up so bad... Damn I wish it was Rick.

[@schl0ck]

to be fair to Caleb, square listened to his performance and thought it was good enough, so this is really on square

[@masterseal0418]

It's best Square Enix used archive audio for the remake as I thought prior to release.

[@starvoltnexus3139]

Yeah this flows better

[@ChoompaLoompa1985-uw8lw]

Tseng: I'ma pretend I'm not freezing...

[@arphayas2826]

So Gongaga sacrificed himself to save Nibelheim.

[@R0B5e55or001]

Yes. Bring Rick Gomez back, bring ALL original FF7 voice cast back

[@treymcclure4645]

will am a country boy too

[@داركماتر-ت1ط]

Me Gongaga 😂

[@VerycoolEsso]

the thing is those two towns are quite close to each other with just Cosmo canyon in between. If anything, they should not how backwater the other one is

[@jamessheeran4931]

I think Cody sounds way better in this game than he did in ff7 remake but I still prefer Stever Burton.

[@axelvoss9653]

Crisis Core Cloud and VII Cloud are *very* different people.

[@Independent365]

Same. Steve's voice really fit Clouds temperament so well

[@michaelrobosa146]

​@@Independent365absolutely not

[@notoriousalien]

@@michaelrobosa146 in advent children yes lmao

[@notoriousalien]

@@Independent365 and he had a bit of that "country boy" accent which was perfect.

[@francoperalta5986]

While Rick is my Zack especially in crisis core. I feel Caleb matches Reunions model of Zack more than Rick. What I mean is that Reunion's model Zack looks way more angsty that compliments Calebs voice. While the original CC Zack looked sharper complimenting Ricks voice.

[@Dridgeism]

Is there a mod to replace just Zack's voice? Pretty content with or even prefer the new actors...but damn that new Zack voice just sticks out that much worse because of that. At least he's tolerable in Rebirth...but still not winning me over.

[@MrWick_72]

Give me the fucking mod rn

[@Colden_Deluxe64]

Someone make Caleb Pierce’s role in the original game

[@QastletheKing]

Areith’s and Zack’s Japanese VA are married irl. Do you need another reason to never hear this voice again?

[@Maycomb_Blume]

@QastletheKing LMAO what are you talking about?

[@QastletheKing]

@@Maycomb_Blume by “this” I meant the new voice idk why I said that. But fuck the English dub for screwing over our boy

[@Maycomb_Blume]

@QastletheKing I personally really liked Caleb Pierce's (New VA) performance as Zack in Crisis Core Reunion, Remake, & Rebirth. I think he did an awesome job. I mainly did this video because I love Cody Christian's Cloud, & I wanted to hear what he would sound like with the old cast.

[@QastletheKing]

@@Maycomb_Blume if you grew up with the original I think it’s impossible to like the new voice tbh lmao

[@QastletheKing]

@@Maycomb_Blume Cody did a great job though
