*Jesse McCartney is of course great as Ventus, though I'm noticing that he is given some of the wierder lines in the series ("Time to play, cat!", "Who am I going to have ice cream with", "Will someone tell me how I got so SMALL?!"). | *Jesse McCartney is of course great as Ventus, though I'm noticing that he is given some of the wierder lines in the series ("Time to play, cat!", "Who am I going to have ice cream with", "Will someone tell me how I got so SMALL?!"). | ||
*Vanitas sounds great as well, which caught me just a little by surprise. I don't know why, but I was worried that they'd mess him up somehow. The only thing that bugs me (and this is true with all helmet-wearing characters) is that his voice doesn't get muffled or change in any way when his helmet is on. I've always been rather annoyed by that. | *Vanitas sounds great as well, which caught me just a little by surprise. I don't know why, but I was worried that they'd mess him up somehow.

*Dilan and Aeleus both sound very good and, like I mentioned before, I like how their VA's changed their voices slightly. They're less monotone than their Nobodies, which makes perfect sense. Think that's about it for Ven. | *Dilan and Aeleus both sound very good and, like I mentioned before, I like how their VA's changed their voices slightly. They're less monotone than their Nobodies, which makes perfect sense. Think that's about it for Ven. Even sounds like, well, a slightly less crazy Vexen. And Ienzo has the greatest voice actor in the game. Not since Orson Welles has the world been blessed with such a voice! | ||
*Oh, and Bret Iwan continues to astound me as Mickey. I honestly can't tell the difference from Mickey's two VAs.}} | *Oh, and Bret Iwan continues to astound me as Mickey. I honestly can't tell the difference from Mickey's two VAs. | ||
EDIT:Ah, Lea and Isa are both done very well. Not awhole lot to say about Lea, since, well, he's just a younger Axel. Isa's voice sounds very different from Saix, and again makes him seem more human than his Nobody, which is the point. I like Isa's wit and his VA (I forget his name) and Flynn work well together.}} | |||
{{BebopKate|time=20:03, September 11, 2010 (UTC)|text=Lapis, you read my mind. Especially on Mickey. About halfway through his scenes I thought, "Oh yeah, new VA!" So far, I haven't been able to tell Iwan apart from Allwine, and that's pretty impressive. | {{BebopKate|time=20:03, September 11, 2010 (UTC)|text=Lapis, you read my mind. Especially on Mickey.

I've enjoyed all of the other voice performances so far as well. I know a lot of people are thrown off by Nimoy, but I am willing to give him a break because...well, it's ''Leonard Nimoy!'' *cue Sheldon Cooper-style freak out* Aqua is growing on me just a little bit. Time will tell, though, as I'm still only working through Ven's track, and I haven't seen as much of her yet.}} | I've enjoyed all of the other voice performances so far as well.

{{Randomnessity|chaos=I was expecting Vanitas's VA to fail slightly, but I was pleasently surprised. He's good at saying idiot bluntly.}} | |||

*You all know I was expecting Aqua's scenes to be unbearable and I will partially -- ''partially'' is the key word -- retract that. Maybe I just got used to it, but her voice wasn't unbearable... most of the time. There were still a few horrendous moments here and there, but most of the time the problem was that she just sucked the energy and emotion out aof a scene. I harp on this a lot because I love Aqua as a character, she's the first legitimate female protagonist the series has had, in my opinion (Kairi doesn't do anything except get rescued, Namine draws stuff and talk for most of her scenes, Xion was better and more tragic, but still kind of fragile personality-wise; Aqua was a freakin' warrior and her Japanese voice matched perfectly). It was a disappointment is all. Rant over. Oh, I will give her one more compliment; I loved when she called Vanitas a freak in Neverland. That got a chuckle out of me. | |||
*Can't really comment on Zack that much, I don't have Crisis Core (yet) so I don't know what he sounded like, but I liked him in this. | |||
*The minor Disney characters were all very well done, as is the tradition. Again, not much to say. | |||
*Sora, Riku, and Kairi as children were surprisingly well done. Kids in video games have a tendency to have really annoying and/or obnoxious voices, but that wasn't the case here. What's more, they all sounded like their personalities (Kairi sounded like a typical cute little girl, Sora was a happy-go-lucky kid, and Riku was a slightly more serious happy-go-lucky kid). What does it say about the cast when these three were far more enjoyable to hear than Aqua?}} | |||
All those kids are actually child actors, with Kairi's VA being seven years older than her character. I ''did'' think she sounded a bit old for reception-age.[[Special:Contributions/82.37.246.236|82.37.246.236]] 08:35, October 13, 2010 (UTC) | |||
