Looks amazing! graphics are so good! wish Square would give me something on the wii with this much effort put into it!

Eh, I liked the Japanese trailer better. This was essentially a shorter version of it, only with mediocre voice acting. >.>

The game looks awesome though. Never played the original, so I'm excited to have a new game to over again. xD

@ry_mc
Actually, the original Japanese katakana has it pronounced "se-shi-ru".
I think that's why the translator/director made the choice to pronounce his name as in the video, because it's closer to the original Japanese pronunciation. That and they probably never played the game on the SNES like the rest of us.
I also used to pronounce his name "see-sul" (in my head) back in the SNES days.

And Japanese voice actors on average are better than their North American counterparts. But that's largely due to the cultural emphasis on animation and voice acting in Japan. Demand and competition breed quality.
There are some AMAZING NA VAs, but they're few and far between. Most of the rest are sub-par to our own internal dubbing back when there were no voices in games.

Wait, you mean you didn't use different voices inside your head when playing SNES RPGs? >.>

Cecil's voice is ok. I agree very cliche.

Twins sound pretty bad. Should be more serious rather then the silly voices they have.

Kain voice is so terrible and stupid. He sounds like like that blonde guy sky from winx club but a little deeper. His japanese voice is quite sexy lol. but this one D:. damn i don't find him sexy at all now in this english version !

Rosa sounds wierd. Listen..does she sound a little old?

The 3d things look silly . I would of prefered more real images like the trailer. (WTB real image of kain's face..there's none in this i think. he takes his mask off at the end but its only in one cutscene where he is in his stupid 3d form.)

SE just making money again. why can't they actully make a decent graphic upgrade rather then make a serious story with serious good looking characters look like such stupid 3d big head things..

what do you expect its just a ds the voices arn't going to be top noch look at ffx on ps2 some of the parts they
sounded a little silly but it was a great game!
(you dont have to agree with me ither) But if you think
the 3-d and voice acting sucks then just but Final
Fantasy 4 for gba i looks just like the original only
polished up
but i beat it twice one gba and once on nes i love
the game and im not going to pass this up
if you have a ds this is a must have whether you
played it 10 years ago or not go buy it july 22 08

I'm just going to fight back on this since many are of the grain that mediocre or just tolerable voice acting is fine and it's those who oppose it who have the problems. First, when you play a game you sign up to live with the eccentricities for the rest of the experience. And that this should be enjoyable.

Frankly I didn't pay to listen to pokemon voice actors and I think it's a waste of development money if the voice acting would be bad for the english dub but much better in japanese. Also it's not just japanese. If this was originally in spanish and that sounded better I'd prefer spanish as well. need to turn off the voices to bypass a feature I don't like. That said, yes I can enjoy it without hearing a thing but for those who are ROOTING for the voice acting and think those who disagree are lazy for not learning an entire language, I beg to differ. First such a statement is ridiculous. You should know not many of us can just OH pick up native fluency conveniently for the sake of playing games when we have full time jobs. (I'm trilingual already, why bother learning another language to native fluency when it won't benefit my line of work). Second, we prefer reading rather than having things dictated with bad acting to us. I'm a fan of good subbing and that would be Cowboy Bebop.

If you like it more power to you but don't say those who really dislike it are "lazy" for not learning a new language. We can easily fight back and say you're lazy for having things read to you in cheezy tones and medieval accents.
