I just think it's the second time you meet him in the game. He showed up in another location in the TGS trailer.

...Is that a gun? Or a grappling hook?
The US one seems alright in that regard but the way this was translated reminds me of FF X and the acting is, like I said, anime dub/10. Some anime dubs are good, just usually not.
All of this is flawless in the Japanese dub. You get extreme close-ups with Shinra, Palmer and Hoji and it might as well be a CG anime film with how natural it looks. The syllables the mouths form line up pretty well.
FF XV and Nier 2 were also amazing well acted in Japanese. Consider reading subtitles with your next SE game. You are missing out.
Always the same complains about the VA in the trailer of FF VII Remake, but then you just need to see the demo footage that you will realize that it's weird in the trailer because of the editing and the out of context dialogue.
I like it too. Sounds perfectly fine to me but maybe that's because english is not my first language or something.
No you're not alone. This trailer sold me on the VA. The last time we had good voice work from the offline entries was FFXII.
Yeah this is looking really, really good.
Promising, end-to-end, until the moment you realize the game stops at the OG's game prologue's end...but still, looks really promising.

Watching Max react to each new trailer for this game has to be the most wholesome content on the internet.
Yeah I'm a fan as well. I was sold when I heard the voices at E3 already. Sounds much better than the usual jrpg dub.
1/4 of the story. it's clearly a full game.
but yeah, i dont think anyone really knows how/when parts 2/3/(4?) are coming out.
I have to say, replacing the stereotypes and implied rape from the original honey bee inn story with actual good queer representation (and with a brief reference to queer gender theory even!) is such a fantastic decision.
QUEEN
I really can't understand how this passes for amazing. The English voice casting is atrocious, the cinematography is just so B grade, again classic Square screen filling particle effects... ugh
I've been playing FF games since the 80s, maybe I'm an old 41 yr old fart or maybe I have higher standards for a company's AAA tier game.
Place me in the meh camp.

Forgive me for the questions. So the first 1/4th is long enough to be basically a full game?
Interesting. I've only ever played the beginning. I'm going to get this for sure, but spending $240 (or whatever it ends up being) to get the "full" FFVII story is a weird concept.
There's a ton of stuff in this trailer that wasn't in the original Midgar storyline. There's definitely some expansion going on.
It's heartwarming to see SE embrace it with their biggest franchise. FFXIV and now with FFVIIr. Love to see it luv.
This is the main controversy regarding the game since it was annouced to be split into parts and has been discussed over and over.
In the end, we won't know just how comparable this is to a "full game" until we play it.
You wouldn't pet a grown ass man (in dog years) would you?
Dialogue is fine, it's the voice acting that's absolute shit. Which is why I play these types of experiences in Japanese. How it is 2020 and this is the level of voice acting Square has given us, in the age of something like Witcher 3, for such an anticipated game, is beyond me. They literally sound like Saturday morning cartoon show characters from the 80s. But as long as the game is awesome it won't affect me because I'll never hear the English language track.
Speaking of which, anyone know if there's a subtitled version of that Japanese language trailer?
Cool. We'll I am looking forward to beating the whole game finally. Looks great.
He looks like Cloud's and Gladiolus' love child, lol:
Archive of our Own: we're gonna need a bigger server.
I like some parts and hate other parts(most other parts). Sepiroth and Hojo being such big clear parts feels off tonally, like they think Cloud is special from the beginning which misses the whole point of Cloud. The characters seem to know to much and just this whole trailer makes me feel that Square doesn't understand the original at all. I'm pretty sure I will hate this but I know I'm in the minority. But it looks great as a facile mirror(plus with all this added junk, I really am sure these are never going to be finished).
Becoming clear people don't know what bad voice acting sounds like.
Square Enix made three games out of the relatively poorly received FFXIII universe. There's absolutely no reason to believe this Remake series won't be finished unless this bombs terribly. Whether it'll be good or not is obviously a matter of perspective.
In what fucking world does the voice acting sound bad lmao, I honestly think these are all the best voices these characters have ever had in English just from the trailers and demo alone.
This is kind of a vague statement, I can't tell if you're agreeing with me that the voice acting is bad or disagreeing with me and saying its good.
I'm saying that most people who complain about bad voice acting can't seem to tell the difference between what is good and what isn't and value characters overacting as: "good acting".
Hope you can unlock these outfits as alternate costumes.Oh my.
Plus the cowboy outfit.
this looks really great. still approaching with caution since Square has let me down too many times, but whew it looks good
They aren´t "clones" and our protagonist is technically one of them. They also entered Midgar even in 1997.
Sephiroth Clone
We've finally released samples into town. They walk all around town, but do not seem to want to leave it. Furthermore, two of them are still in their pods. Again, no explanation is provided to me. Could the procedure have failed? No, impossible! Professor Hojo's experiments don't...

The original translation is quite the mess you all. All but the Japanese players and those who looked up what Sony (i think) managed to mangle back in the day sadly managed to get aspects of the plot a bit wrong though simply playing the official translation. The German one is especially bad but I only played that version once. The US one was seen as an upgrade by me when I replayed it in the 00s but the PC modding scene finaly saw to this in 2015.
It arguably took SE till FF XII to have totally coherent translations at the ready. FF Tactics (PSX) was hit rather hard too.
That makes we wonder which game had more time in the oven to create more content and more time for that content to be polished.
Wikipedia says that the Final Fantasy XV we know only started full development in 2012 when they scrapped most old stuff, switched to another engine, switched from PS3/Xbox360 to to PS4/Xbox One and replaced Nomura with Tabata. It releasing in 2016 means that it was in development for about 4 years. For a pretty big, open world game.
According to Wikipedia FFVII Remake started full development in 2015 and with it releasing in 2020 makes it about 5 years in development, which is longer for an overall smaller game.
So technically FFVII could be pretty content rich and also be more polished than FFXV.
But you quoted me, what does that have to do with me? Be clear with what you're saying and don't dance around it as since you quoted me, I wanna be able to address whatever it is properly. Are you saying I am one of these "most people" who value overacting as 'good acting'?
Why does the voice acting always sound so weird in SE trailers? The Honey Bee scene is so weird because the music and dialogue sounds off.
I'm saying that if you think this is bad then you don't know what actual bad (english) voice acting sound likes. Because the voice acting is actually pretty decent, it's not world class but it's not: "absolute shit" either.
