Final Fantasy: Dissidia - North American Release!

[Wintermute]

Japanese voices please.
Is it so hard to just have dual audio, or sell 2 diff versions like widescreen/pan&scan movies?

Some clever chaps will eventually release an Undub of it like so may other games. Pity only CFW users will get to enjoy it though.

[Evokerz]

Awsome, thanks.

When I saw this thread, it made me wonder if the game JUST got released...

[BadKarma]

Sounds like Firion is Vash/Ichigo.

In before Steven Blum?

Johnny Yong Bosch it indeed is

[Ragnus]

There seems to be some cosmetic changes, like the EX gauge turns red instead of purple. I don't know why you'd change something so useless but whatever.

Probably for the same reason they make Kirby look pissed on every NA release of his games. They think it will appeal better to the audience better.

I don't have a PSP so I hope they release the Dissidia PSP bundle here like they did in Japan.

[Auspice]

Gamestop has the only PSP Dissidia bundle and it's just a normal silver 3000 system. It comes with a memory stick, Dissidia, and Advent Children on UMD.

The US has NEVER gotten a SquareEnix special edition handheld. :/

Pretty sure it's nothing like that. I never had any problems myself, but I could understand some people not noticing right away that their EX gauge was full since it just has a minor flash on it. A few people probably suggested the change and there was no reason not to do it really, it just makes it a little more visible.

and it also makes a noise when it fills but I guess if you don't have sound on or can't hear it... idk

New Video! Terra Vs Ultimecia

YouTube - Dissidia Final Fantasy: English Gameplay: Terra vs Ultimecia

Hmm... Ultimecia's voice seems a bit off. "Perhaps you gears are stuck" is just one example

Terra's is not bad!

Edit:

Cecil and Golbez Exhibitions:

Golbez

Wow, this is pretty spot on for his character. Pretty impressive. Though it does sound like he has a cold at one point..

Cecil

Not bad either~ albeit, that line was a bit cheesy. Thus! THUS! THHUUSS!!

[Wintermute]

Ultimecia is bleh and Tina/Terra sounds like a schoolkid.

[Auspice]

During the first half of the video, Terra sounds like she's voiced by the chick who did Yukari from Persona 3.

Why did they recast Cecil and Golbez? I thought the VAs in FFIV DS were good :/

[aucks]

Nothing wrong with Ultimecia's lines that I could tell.
Terra says: Time will never stop for you.
and she retorts: Perhaps your gears are stuck.

The voice actors here in the NA area aren't the best, but you can't really blame them, it's the people that cast them that really need to be replaced with someone that isn't deaf and can actually match the voices closer than male=male (sometimes) & female = female.

Either way, I'm excited as hell for this to finally come out here.

[Metah]

The only voice I'm not liking so far is Terra.

[Insanecyclone]

Golbez I've heard his VA before...who is it?

[Kiarax]

People seem to think it's Anthony Lander(Landor? Not sure if they're different people, but I see people saying Anthony Landor played Golbez in IV DS and Anthony Lander played Duke of Ghor in Last Remnant). I don't recognize the voice myself. Apparently Lander also did Zangief in SF4.

I don't think they recast them.. Golbez at least sounded the same to me

[Auspice]

There's no way Cecil is the same person.

Double posting a week later because demo is coming out on PSN tomorrow! Fuck, I've gotta get my CFW updated and charge this damn thing so I can play it!

[Kuya]

I really hate your avatar.

[Auspice]

It's from the new Weird Al video, you cannot hate it!
