I'm more than welcome to actually discussing our opinions snakey boi. but you riffed on my actual opinion of the new actors with "of course you would", invalidating my own opinions just because it's from me lol

Oh I said that to Otti lol

I would never invalidate you, Funky Father 😔

Oh wait that was you that said that

Ok I guess I did lol nvm

:)

Idk why i thought he said that

Hey I'll own up to it and take the social humiliation- that's what a real man does 😤

I may be a snake but im not spineless 😌

I'm curious, do you genuinely prefer their voices more or is it the direction and the script from previous compilation entries that you prefer? a lot of people conflate the two and I'm not saying you are, but i want to know your thoughts

I knew you had beef with me

The Compilation had some rough moments objectively but I thought their voices suited them very well- some I think can be debated - like Red, he had 1 line in AC lmao, no big loss.

Cait Sith isn't that much of a difference, Yuffie either but Cid and Vincent's VA's i thought were like, definitive if not only for their sound buy honestly, the biggest ones are Cloud and Sephiroth

Writing and direction quality aside I thought their Comp voices were the absolutely beat choices for their characters, and when they were allowed to actually display their range, Steve Burton, a TV actor, and George Newborn, a longtime voice actor, were great.

The Crisis Core remake does a great job of showcasing this- imo the remake cast, even minus the obvious Zack, does not do as good a job at reading the lines. Perhaps that's voice direction, but regardless. I mean hey, Aerith's VA in that game ended up being her definitive VA for her few sporadic appearances afterwards up to KH Remind so that's worth something to me.

Tl;dr, I think direction cucked the OG cast more than anything 🤷‍♂️
