JAP most definatly the engilsh wasn't that bad, but only Vincent actually sounded like Vincent and probably Tifa, but the jap version is better

i actually thought Aeris/th sounded better in english, well in the way i picture her, as a sweet innocent girl, the japanese version is well... i dunno, not like that, i could be wrong, but the movement she makes and all does show she's sweet and all...

Heh, I thought Tifa's voice acting could've been done better. Rachel Leigh Cook's voice is ok, but I don't think it really suited Tifa's. Now, the one in Japanese was good, IMO. I thought it suited her very well.

With Aeris...erm, I don't remember the voice acting in Japanese. I'll have to watch it again. But the one in English was okay. I could hear the sweetness and innocence in her voice, yeah, but for some reason I was expecting something better as well. I don't know what exactly. I suppose I wanted her voice to be perfect and angelic.

Cloud's voice was perfect, both in English and Japanese. So were the other characters, especially Kadaj and his gang.

Aeris English VA totally ruined Kadaj's dying scene. I hated it. Sephiroth also sounded a lot more menacing in Japanese, as did Loz and Yazoo, who didn't sound like complete idiots in English. Japanese FTW.

Sephiroth was decent in japanese but awesome in angelish, the english voice seems much more fitting to a major villain, as for Loz and Yazoo, their japanese voices are something i can't even talk about, it was plain crap, Yazoo sounded like a bad Loz clone, and Loz sounded even more like a complete and utter retard, in english Yazoo received a voice exactly for his characterics, same for Loz...
pretty much my opinion on their voices


Cloud's japanese voice made me think about some fat japanese dude, which ruined it... but it was fitting for him once i could think away that image of the fat jap dude

I prefer English. For one, I hate subtitles and another I can actually understand what they're saying. Each voice actor's voice was fine to me.

I couldn't stand watching this movie in English. Every time I've sat down to watch it, I tried it in English first, then would get really frustrated at it, and eventually put it back in Japanese w. subtitles. Also, the English translation in the dub tends to be kinda goofy at times.

I preferred it in Japanese...quite obvious, but the English had some humoruous moments, like Denzel cursing. I had to laugh when he did that.

Nonetheless, Japanese is better with the voice-overs than the English version.
