I think it was in a Nintendo direct trailer or maybe the Square e3 one but yeah, I was really surprised.
Man I've seen all of them, but totally missed that part.
Guess I wasn't really paying attention. But sweet they are adding stuff.

EDIT: Checked the trailer again and yeah they are talking in it.
And I know why I didn't react to that. I thought it was like that in the original.
Never played it.

Voice acting requires that the script is written in a certain way. Games with no voice acting are written differently; you can't just slap voices on them when it wasn't originally intended.

Even Vagrant Story, a game almost universally lauded for its great script, wasn't written with voice acting in mind. Yasumi Matsuno explicitly confirmed that if the game were to be voiced, his script would have to be significantly rewritten to account for things like tone and diction.

Getting ready for Final Fantasy VIII Remake too, huh? Arigathanks, Squeenix. I'll be waiting on the PS6.

I feel like voicing the entire script in not one but two languages seems like a huge amount of work and time for something that was not expected in any way for this game.

WEIRD.

A shame it appears they are doing nothing to the backgrounds if they are putting the work to add voice.

I can't believe this is for the entire script of the game. But if it turned out to be that way, holy shit that's incredible.

Seems like something they would mention during the announcement and not far after the fact.

Is it weird that I'm more excited for this than VII Remake
It's a more down to Earth update rather than the wild, ambitious one FFVII is getting, and TBH this is what I really would've wanted out of an FFVII update anyway. I just need a fresh translation and maybe recreated backgrounds following the original designs.

If true, i bet it's only battle voices or something like this. Imagine doing lip synch for all possibly voiced cutscenes? SE would never reach this far for a remaster lol

If true, holy shit. That's above and beyond what I'd expect from a remaster. Fingers crossed, I'd love this!

If they were to include voice acting, which is kind of a surprise feature that would market the game as much more than a simple remaster, don't you think they should have made it clear in the e3 trailer about it? Seems weird to them to not have it included...

I'd only be okay with this if someone tells out "WOO WOO!!" every time Doom Train is summoned.

This has to be a mistake.

Because being able to add voice acting but being unable to make battles run higher than 15fps would unreasonably annoy me frankly.

What if whoever made the website was also responsible for making the Crystal Chronicles remaster and got the two games confused concerning this feature

Bingo.

Besides, it's in the source code from the web site, it's not really "public". They're well allowed to use incomplete/incorrect text at that stage.
