It's like without fail, any Japanese game has the same people voicing the English version. It's so annoying and cheapens the experience.

Except when he's playing professor Hojo and being all cackling scientist. Square Enix is actually pretty good at not relying on stock voices, Dissidia aside. Kingdom Hearts has some amazing voice casts. -- Signature change in progress... Please wait. ... Copied to Clipboard!

He's in Tales of Symphonia and Shadow of Rome, though, both of which are recent plays. Also, I will call him Robin because that's automatically what I consider any character voiced by him to be. -- SubDeity wants to vote for Calvin Coolidge. [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. ...

Square Enix is actually pretty good at not relying on stock voices, Dissidia aside. Kingdom Hearts has some amazing voice casts. I'm pretty sure Disney is the one who handles the voice acting translation. Or at least is the one who is paying the actors since people like Billy Zane, Christopher Lee, and Leonard Nimoy probably wouldn't just give their voice away to any video game company unless they backed by a giant like Disney.

( Not saying Square Enix isn't a giant but these guys probably hardly acknowledge them ) Square Enix does all the localizing themselves. It's obvious if you've been following their games - they have a pretty distinct style. Things to look for are badly localized jokes followed by silly laughter, solid but "safe" acting, hammy villains and a high degree of pretentiousness that makes you go "please just loosen up a bit!" Disney probably contributes on the economical side though. -- Signature change in progress... Please wait. ... Copied to Clipboard!
