Man it is so great to see Square Enix take Final Fantasy voice acting in a different direction with Final Fantasy XIII. I think we were all getting a little tired of winey protagonists, annoying female companions and gruff voiced black guys. Now we have the real characters we'd all been wanting. IGN got their hands on this uber-real English dub of the game. Again, I stress that there is nothing fake about this. It is the most real English version of a game ever put on the internet, ever -- in the entire history of the internet. In fact it's so real that not even the Real World is as real as this trailer.
I also find it odd that this trailer of such great realism would not call it Final Fantasy XIII, but Final Fantasy Ex Eye Eye Eye. I had no clue they were changing the English name of the game, but there you have it. I'd also like to offer a round of applause to Square Enix for including what is clearly and openly gay hero in the game. Yes, the reality of this trailer is so very real.

And now we watch this dub video become more quoted than Final Fantasy XIII when it actually comes out! Heck, Snow has just become my new best character ever in the last five minutes it took to watch that!
I think everyone was gonna quote this vid, really good. Wouldn't want it to be dubbed this way personally (I know it's fake guys) but it is still very funny. "PEW! To the face...." made my day.
I would totally pay someone to dub the game like this. In fact I would prefer this dub over than the actual game dub.
Also, wow, they just killed off like half the cast in a couple of seconds. I guess that's what happens when you have a bridge suspended over a bottomless chasm.

If only the voice dub was like that in the final game.
