mimi_sardiniaWell I've watched it! I took notes on my thoughts on the dub too. ^_^
I think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
turk_elena was the one who said Elena sounded like Rainbow Brite, and I have to say? No bloody kidding!!! Her voice is too... cartoony-cute.
In the scene in the wasteland, where the Trio are first seen, Yazoo sounds like he's on drugs. Seriously. He's so totally out of it it's not funny! He doesn't really improve much throughout the whole movie either for that matter.
As well as that, there's one line that Kadaj has that is just badly done. What he said in English escapes me (memory for small details disappears almost instantly on me) but it was something in reply to a question from Yazoo and the english just had... too much. In the japanese he said something like "Uhh huh" and the mouth movements just don't match in the english.
Rufus sounds like some sort of TV voiceover guy. Not only in voice but in the way he spoke too - he always sounded too calm, even when Kadaj tossed over Tseng and Elena's ID cards. One would think maybe that'd serve him well when he starts coming back into the public eye again.
Zack? Perfect. Just perfect.
Loz is an oversized child.
Moogle Girl sounds too old. She sounds like someone in their twenties was trying to do "child", not like a real child. Even Marlene sounded like a real child.
"Dilly dally, shilly shally" is the single daftest line EVER!!! And Tifa says it twice, and louder the second time! That just makes her sound sillier!
Kadaj is a damn street preacher.
Aeris sound so airy she almost seems to be taking whatever drug Yazoo is on. She also took speach lessons from... Captain Kirk. She does the same daft pausing in the middle of almost everything... she says.
Vincent's voice grates on me. It's too deep and has a gravelly tone to it that the japanese voice didn't. Vincent's japanese voice is totally TEH SMEX.
The "peons" line - the one in place of the badly understood line Yazoo had about trust - is the best. ^_^
Reno and Rude - perfect double act. XD
Cid? Please be spending more time around Denzel if it means he will come out with lines line that "son of a bitch!" one?
Cait's accent is great. XDDD
So is Cid's - somehow a the southern hick tone to him is very fitting.
The scene where Kadaj is screaming "Mother!" in the church? Reminds me so fucking much of Luke Skywalker screaming "No! No! No!" after Vader drop his soon to be over-used plot device.
I still think Yuffie should have had an asian accent. She's from Wutai, a place that was made stereotypically asian. Conclusion? She should have had an asian accent.
Barret is so Mr T.
Yuffie's "Royal pain in the ass" line is just great. ^_^
Cait? Again, XDDD. Love the accent!
The "Hisashiburi da na" scene - Sephiroth's voice is totally TEH SMEX.
Seph is not speaking in an outdoor voice. Cloud manages to speak like he's outside but Sephiroth sounds like abedroom indoor voice.
I don't like Nanaki's voice. He's also taking the drug Yazoo and Aeris are on.
I thought I caught a few scenes where there was more footage than was in the avi copy I got from Gnome but that may just be a lack of attention on my part.
The visuals were brighter - slightly more washed out than my avi copy.
I also watched through the Reminicience of Final Fantasy VII - I'm actually glad of that - really. The FMVs are clearer in it than they are in the game. I suspect that in the game they are stretched out of proportion a bit on the screen I have (it's always surprises me a little how small screencaps come up when I paste them into Paint - none of my caps are size altered) so the quality on the DVD is a great thing to see - especially considering I saw the Northern Crater FMV - when Seph summons Meteor and the Weapons are released - only a few days ago and seeing it in DVD quality is great.
The line where Vincent tells Cloud to pass on a message to Yuffie telling her not to phone him is funny too.
So... mrrr. There's things it'll take me some time to get used to - Yazoo's voice, Rufus' voice, Vincent's voiceSephiroth's totally bedroom voice - problem is, I have long since gotten over my initial rush of fangirlishness for the movie thanks to constantly playing it on Media Player while doing stuff online that I'm not sure I'll watch the DVD all that much. Oh well. *Shruggle*
