No, they don't.

Stop watching Sailor Moon and One Piece.

The Japanese over-exaggerate everything they speak in their diologue to the point you can' ttake it seriously. Not that its less than eloquent way of being spoken already makes you want to laugh.

The Japanese language has never been very appealing so I'm not gonna listen to them. Kthxbai.

Yes I am. This is about Zidane's voice in the Japanese trailer. I said I had no interest in watching it and will wait for the English version.

Ugh. They better find a better VA for him then the one for Seymour.

well that's your opinion. but we can't really say how good japanese voice actors are if we don't speak their language. personally I find them cool coz they sound lively even though I don't understand what they're saying. though I think you could be right that it seems they sometimes exaggerate the way they talk. as for the english voices it really depends on the actors. some aren't really doing well but if you hear the best ones they're really impressive!

Gosh, then I wonder why in Japan voice actors are more respected in society? Not to mention, most dubbed anime is recored in Canada because it's cheaper.

Right, and the english version is going to be better? I'm sure they'll use a 12 year old boy to voice Zidane, most likely.


Anyways, I was a little annoyed when I heard Zidane's voice. He's suppose to be 16, not sounding he hit puberty.

I thought Kuja voice did fit his character.

Just watched it and his voice sucks. The game looks good though.

Kuja's voice sounds fine, and i don;t see Gaara in my head when i see him talk.

Zidane sounds terrible, the voice doesn't suit him and when i hear him talk i see Naruto, not Zidane. Very stupid choice for a voice actor, there are only two kids in IX, Vivi and Eiko, Zidane needs to sound older.

Actually I find his voice quite well suited.. he's hardly a deep voiced moody Squall or Cloud. Kuja sounds great too!

I honestly think it'd suit Zidane if only he's a girl. but heck... I wonder why the voices in japanese versions often sound too childish or childlike rather. It's like in the case of Dragonball Z where Goku and his sons have their kid voices retained as adults which is just wrong.

I think the voices are fitting for the Japanese context. For the American context, Kuja's voice is decent, but Zidane's will need to be more boyish - definitely not too deep though.
