Zack is 18 in the beginning of Crisis Core. And he doesn't live to see age 24. Zack Fair dies when he is 23.

There's nothing better than the original, but hey, It's getting pretty decent voice acting judging by the video... and that's enough for me. I just wanna play this game soon!

"Angeel?" Angeeeeeel? *sob*Where's the A? I just hope Genesis no longer sounds like a crazy vampire, because that would be sad. They should have just gotten Gackt to do both voices, since he speaks English fairly well. Or at least can voice the words properly.

Oh well. I didn't expect the English to stand up to the Japanese - it was wonderful. :) I guess now I'll be able to understand more of all those emails and such. :/

Really, though, it would be wonderful if they included the Japanese acting too, but I'm sure that's too much to hope for. :( I don't know why people have a problem with subtitles; can't you see everything at the same time? Seriously, how long does it take you to read? O_o

Oh well. I guess I like "Zack" better than "Zax," so I shouldn't complain. >_

I love the "Japanese VAs are better" knee-jerk reaction that some people have. Then they go on and say "they just put so much emotion into it". So, tell me why on the international or final mix or whatever special editions of most Squeenix games for Japan....they give them the option of using the ENGLISH voice track? Why will the Japanese version of AC:Complete Blu-Ray have an optional ENGLISH voice track? Maybe they have the same "grass is greener" thought pattern as some of you guys do.

Personally, I enjoy the English voice-overs because *gasp* I don't speak Japanese, and no matter how much "emotion" they put into it, it doesn't make a damn bit of sense to me.

And for the DBZ comparison guy, Goku was voiced by a chick in Japan...how's that for "not matching the character"?

Voice actor for English naruto dub: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maile_Flanagan

It is very common to have female voice actors for young male character voices.

Even dough i don't speak Japanese i still prefer watching every anime and playing every game i can on japanese (someone always makes a undub of the game). I will buy this game when it comes out but i'll probably make a undub (i'll download jap version and replace audio files)
Great alternative would be inclusion of the Japanese audio tracks.

i'd give the voice acting a 7/10. It could have more emotion and not be so monotonous.

Seriously, the dude was like, "you. will. leave. at. once." like a robot.

But I am sick of my jap version so i shouldn't be complaining
