Final Fantasy VII Remake - theme song trailer
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
It's because they cut it strangely and I've always found that basically all voice acting sounds bizarre when you remove the background sound effects. It's recorded to be heard alongside other things, not layered completely on top of silence.
Because in the actual game there won't be a loud ass theme song playing in the background then interjecting to dialog. That's why it's jarring - it's a trailer.
Ever since FFX I've come to realize some have ridiculously high standards when it comes to this stuff.
Oh OK, thanks for being clear. Yeah, I disagree. Sounds like absolute shit to me. No reason we have to see eye to eye on that. Also, it won't hamper my experience as I will play in Japanese. Still my most anticipated game since the original Final Fantasy VII.
EDIT:
Also let me add that for what this game means to me, even "pretty decent" voice acting I consider unacceptable. They hit everything else out of the park, to sully that experience with even average voice acting is shameful. Everything must be up to par lest the entire experience can be brought down. Shitty voice acting can take an otherwise poignant or touching moment and turn it into something forgettable at best or a laugher at worst. This is "fine" voice acting for Pokemon or something, but for Final Fantasy VII Remake and the masterclass that it looks like they're putting together in every other department, it is unacceptable to me personally.

I understand some people are annoyed they're splitting ff7 into multiple parts. But when I see the remake, they look super expensive to make. I can believe SE saying there's just no feasible way to release this game as a single $60 purchase. It'd take waay too long to make and need to sell waay too many copies just to break even.

Looks great and frankly the VA sounds strange in both languages. I don't know how y'all can listen to the Japanese version and not think it sounds like it's having a lot of the same issues with how it's cut into the trailer that the English version is having.
Good voice actors cost money I guess. They replaced them all with new ones.
Will be playing in Japanese for sure.
FF7R had a reboot of its own midway through in 2017 or thereabouts though, when they ditched CyberConnect2 and brought development in-house and put the guy from Final Fantasy Mobius in charge.
The they-took-her-boobs-away-brigade will never go away. Kill them with fire.gif Imagine thinking that version 2.0 doesn´t look like a big breasted supermodel? Like how even... I´ll keep my hype engines on the low, over 2 decades in the SE salt mines were just too much for me and KH 3 Re:Mind (5/10) isn´t even a week old, but the remake´s visual all get my blessing. It´s Advent Children designs (also directed by Nomura) - The Game.
Yoshitaka Amano´s take on her:
Look up his paintings in general, not just the FF (VII) stuff. Ehrgeiz and Dissidia had this outfit. It would be weird if the remake(s) skipped on costumes but I smell DLC. I just do.

It's not high standards is just flat out not wanting anything other than japanese language because the hell do I know, a perfectly valid choice I must say, but just wish they were more honest instead of always trashing english dubs.
They still are:
They think the Tifa they see in their porns is the real one, it's useless, they have that idea ingrained in their brains and can't let it out. Funny thing is that remake Tifa is bustier than Dissidia NT but still, same old song.
They still are:
'underdeveloped' holy shit lmao. Have these people ever seen a boob
Looks really good. Red XIII doesn't seem silly or out of place, and fuck yeah Cloud in a dress, that whole part of the trailer is excellent.
I think that plot point is going to hit really hard in this remake.

I don't know if it being taken away from CyberConnect2 counts as a full reboot. IF you go back and watch the 2015 trailer, the same cutscenes and even gameplay concepts are still there (you can actually see the ATB bar filling up with successive attacks, just like the current system, albeint only one instead of multiple).
I'm sure it was a setback having the new team take over, but I don't think it really went through an entire reboot.
Didn't listen to the Japanese one yet, even the Japanese VA was bad in 15 so hopefully it's better here.
I don't get people's obsession with huge boobs, it's just a fucking videogame character. Those virgin nerds are the worst.
Otherwise the blue dress seems like a lot of work for ~5 minutes of screen time.
It's all about hyperbole on these message boards. I've seen people call games/graphics that aren't that bad "complete dogshit." Just can't be helped lol.
I think a lot of people have sort of been almost... tricked by Japanese anime voice acting? As in there is a near limitness number of great Japanese actors but in a lot of stuff like anime (and by extension games) are told to basically turn everything up to 20 and very much more trope-y focused. People in Japan don't talk like anime characters. And so when people hear any other voice acting that isn't being turned up to 20, they assume that the voice actors are doing something wrong and since we have a group of people who (are not native Japanese speakers themselves) grew up watching Japanese shows, have this almost bias against voice acting that might be more subdued and natural.
.....have they even seen a real life woman before. How is that underdeveloped.They still are:
Seeing people praise the Honeybee thing and yeah they improved stuff but looks like the scene is still about tricking a guy into thinking Cloud's a girl that he'd want to be in bed with so maybe don't act as if the scene is progressive now????????
Would be even more work to make it compatible for in-battle, so I can see them opt to not make it available.
We'll have to see.
Not if it's only for a cutscene, is way more work to rig it properly to be able to be used in-game with constant clipping and shit with all the animations.
2 things about that trailer I didn't like. Its spoils the shit out of the game and that boss battle theme kinda doesn't hit the same without the electric guitar and organ. Why did they go more traditional for that???
The Honey Bee Inn. part actually looks pretty good & it was honestly the highlight of the trailer. Can't wait for April.
The only boobs this guy ever touched are his own.They still are:
They still are:
Hahaha. Oh god. When I first saw this I assumed he meant underdeveloped as in personality-wise. People are still talking about Tifa's breasts? Jesus.
Nah, even the dialogue. It sounds so unnatural and so... translated. People simply don't talk like that. No native Engish speaker in their right mind would ever say such things to express whatever is happening. Stuff like: "The stench of the director's cowardice fills the room yet again". I mean really now? Really!? It's an English phrase alright, one you might find in a book, an old one presumably, but no one actually ever speaks like that. Ever.
Yeah shit like that really calls into question if the poster has ever met a woman.They still are:
That song is.. hm... Well i'm happy to see Nobuo in shape at least!
That trailer is fire, so much footage.. So many unseen characters...
Now i'm a bit surprised the cross dressing doesn't outrage more seeing in the end it's ultimately used as a comedy and uncomfortable thing. It's still gay scare humor it seems..

The script sounds so unnatural. Humans don't talk like this lmao. That rock song is not doing it for me.
Beyond that, the game is so incredibly gorgeous.

I like the English dub in videos I've seen so far except for Barret who comes off as an 80s-90s stereotype.
I agree but honestly, It sounds like standard anime dialogue, you don't get good dialogues in these. They could make a better localization but you would get with an outrage for not being accurate enough I guess.
I can prefer the Japnese dub of FF XV but can still see that the US dub of FF XV is good, even if it changed characterizations a bit. The ones for FXII and XIII are also quite solid. The clips I saw from Advent Children were ok, I think, but I only saw the Japanese version from start to finish. Dirge though, ho boi. The same crew was wasted there.
The US dub for FF X ain´t good. Like at all. It was citizised even in 2001 by both the press and fans. This is 100% better but still not good. Basic quality standards aren´t high standards. That said. Metal Gears sounds better in English even if I like the ultra-professional Japanese dub. I ain´t a snob, I just have ears and ALL released footage in English sounds like a J-RPG dub from the PS2. Fail/10.
The myth that dubbed anime dialogue can´t be good is a myth. It always was. There are even good anime dubs from the 80s. Robotech´s is quite listenable to this day for example even if standards moved past it. Minus the shite singing. Harmony Gold did a better job in 1985, lol.
More likely than being available in battle, I think they will just cook up more scenarios for this outfit and Aeris' to be worn. Cloud's too.
You might be surprised to find that many of these individuals have never actually cupped a pair of breasts in their hands. There's no real frame of reference for them.
I've never played Final Fantasy VII and wasn't particularly hyped for the remake... Until this trailer. It was so good.
Suffice to say, I had no idea about the cross dressing stuff, but it is really cool that Square is sticking to it! With my limited knowledge of this game and the game I am about to mention, it reminds me of the content people speculate is holding Nintendo back from releasing Mother 3. Is that fair to say?
I wonder if the acceptance of this game and that kind of content might alleviate some of Nintendo's concern? Or are they not comparable? (Again, not super knowledgeable about either game)

This was a surprising trailer because I did not expect to see all that I saw. My husband was sitting next to me watching it and I just start laughing my ass off at the Honey Bee Inn. We thought they might cut it but it looks like they made it even more over the top. Also, I said "Oh shit!" when Red showed up.
It still diminishes the effect, at least for me. Especially in a case like this where I already know the story and the main draw comes from seeing it rendered with modern day graphics. But to each their own.
