    This differs from the Japanese verison how?

    I dunno about the rest of you, but after 4 or 5 years of watching Japanese cinema and anime with the native audio track, they all run together in terms of inflexion, voice quality, writing quality, and acting ability. I honestly cannot tell most of them apart, especially in things that are dubbed. Only truly unique performers with unique scripts manage to break away from the complete atonal montony of the Japanese language, and even then not very much.

    Probably explains why my favourite Japanese movie is one that is over two hours long with a 3 page script.

    It differs alot from the Japanese version. IMO alot of the Japanese voices were pretty good. In the English one Cloud sounds like a bitch, all 3 brothers sound like fags, and Aeris says the most retarded shit.

    You might disagree but I think the Japanese version is much better.

    Yeah, I've always been a fan of movies that are spoken in japanese but subtitled with english meaning. It actually sort of helps you understand the language a bit better.

    Or you can just learn to speak Japanese =p

    Besides, no one watched Advent Children for the story. (At least I didn't, I didn't particularly like FF7, I just wanted to see what AC was going to turn out to be.) They just wanted to see the fighting... and Aeris... and Tifa.

    Because you know fluent enough Japanese to tell good voice actors from bad ones? (if you do I'll have my cake and eat it) It's alot easier to tell when voice acting sucks in your own language, alot hard to gauge for other languages. Although the only time I can really tell a JP VA sucks is in anime, when they say "Umm..." everyother word and take like 1 minute to say a simple sentence.

    Anime for the most part bothers me...

    In anycase, I need to see the movie, I think the cast was pretty much the same as KH2, and the only bad FFVII VA in that game was Aeris (and Cid to a degree), I liked the rest. It could be a case in point that Cloud/whoever doesn't sound exactly how you imagined them too, so you get dissapointed and say it sucks (not saying anyone here does in particular).

    Do you seriously think that's true? I'd say the majority of the people who watched it wanted to see the story, which coincidently included fights... and Tifa... and Aeris.

    On another note, I'm going to buy it just to have the DVD, does it have a Japanese and English audio track? Does anyone know?

    Voice acting is almost always better in the original language, and it's true both way.

    Since when do I have to know what they're saying to know what they sound like? Stop being a fucking hardcore anime watching douchebag.

    QFT

    I live in Japan, have for several years, and speak Japanese. These voice actors (Japanese version) suck. As is the case with pretty much all anime and video game voicing. But their suckiness isn't necessarily related to them being voice actors, as voices in live-action Japanese TV dramas and movies sound about the same, which is to say... forced, phoney, and overly melodramatic. That's just how Japanese acting is. Coming from an American point of view, anyway.

    On a related note, every single person who comes to Japan from another country says the same thing; actually experiencing the country and culture absolutely shatters all preconceptions and is a very eye-opening experience. Then you feel like a fool for ever believing those preconceptions.
