new voice actors why?

[Plex]

Why couldn't they just use the voice from the PSP version?
are the voicelines so much different from the original that they had to redo them with different voice actors?

I just have the original voice stuck in my head and can't get used to the new one, I cringed hearing zacks new voice when he answered the phone on the train station.


can't wait until modders mod the old voices into reunion.

"mod the old voices": Well, that will look awkward if any texts are different. If there is new voice acting, there's also a chance they said different things. For the record, to mod the old voices into the new game, it would require a LOT of work. Like, a really big project, tbh...

I believe most of the script is actually 1:1 from the PSP version to the point they actually did accidentally leave in some old voicelines from the PSP game, haha.

But they changed the VAs so they were in line with the current cast in the FF7 remake for consistency I imagine. Also they voiced the entire game this time around, voicing lots of stuff that was just text in the PSP version, so a mod to add in the old lines would work for some of the dialogue, but then you'd be left with the new VA still for anything the PSP game didn't cover.

You should have done like me and not owned a psp so you couldnt possibly play crisis core then, and so you have no bias toward the voice acting playing this new release

chances are its due to 1 of 2 things for most of the characters and they are price or to keep the voice actors for the ff7r trilogy as close as possible. or it could be due to both.

They got new voices for FF7R, this game had a new dub due to them wanting to voice the entire thing and to keep it in line with the FF7R dub. They havent kept any of the old VAs. There is a messup apparently and some of the old lines werent removed. If there is a mod for the old voice work to be added in, just know you'll have lots of silence during the game as the old dub didnt completely dub the game.

As if that'll work. It's not a 1:1 copy of the first. I'll enjoy ♥♥♥ voices so i'm fine
