I think that Haley Joel Osment would fit Zidane well. 
In case you don't know who that is, it's the guy who did Sora's voiceover. Now that I think about it, maybe not something so soft, but a little harder. His figure in dissidia is a real

I've always imagined Zidane to have a higher pitched voice... but resembling Naruto is just plain annoying. What's with Japan and overly feminine male lead roles?

Kuja was often sarcastic -- and it's hard for me to place sarcasm on top of that crazy-manly voice in the Dissidia trailer. I also thought Kuja would be a little softer-spoken. A voice to match the outfit? |

Now that you mention it, I pictured Kuja with a different voice as well. I do think it should be an intimidating voice, but more on the direction of "cold and manic" rather than just a deep generically evil voice.

did you guys have in mind a voice of the characters when reading their dialogues? when I play I used to think Zidane would sound somewhat like Tidus but in a naughty and wittier tone and then Kuja exactly like James of Team Rocket but in a serious manner.

I agree, Zidane sounded really young which is surprising since the Japanese voice-overs usually tend to beat the pants off the English ones. Kuja sounded alright though, as said before, I kinda pictured a softer spoken voice-over as well.

I hope they choose him a better voice for the english version.. maybe someone that sounds like Sora in KH2 would be good. how about you?

He's only meant to be 16/17 as I recall, so it's not entirely out of character.

Well Naruto pre time skip has a very energetic voice (it would suit Zidane a bit but he needs to sound energetic yet flirty due to his nature). Kuja's voice's perfect but I'm disapointed that they're keeping him in nothing but his man thong (They could've even put denim hot pants over him for all I care).

I agree, the japanese voice actors seem to put way more emphasis and energy on what they are saying, Im not disrespecting english voice actors but in KH2 half the voices seemed kinda blah, especially with the FF characters... like they walked in, did one take, and walked out with their check... >.>
I mean if I wanted to listen to a flat emotionless monotone voice, Id watch Ben Stein...  |
