Thanks for putting up the translation! I always like to see the Jap version, so I can tell what the characters were ORIGINALLY meant to say, as some things always get confused in translation - e.g. in english version Angeal goes "you'll destroy us all" which makes no sense. Though voice acting-wise, I think both versions are pretty good. =)
Genesis = Gackt (and not just cuz gackt voiced him in japanese, but cuz gackt actually helped design him). That's why he sounds 10 times more badass in japanese.
i think Genesis sounds better in japanese, and Sephiroth sounds better in english. but thats just my opinion, i personally love both versions, there very well done to me
Genesis' voice is better in Japanese - which is the only one I really have a preference for in Japanese. Personally, I like all the voice actors (aside from Hollander, but I didn't play this game in Japanese). They all did good jobs.
huh... i enjoyed the japanese version waaaaay more than the english one... i just love morikawa toshiyuki voicing sephiroth and suzumura kenichi as zack fair... unlike whoever it is that does sephiroth and zack in the english version.
You know what though, Sephiroth's voice in Advent Children KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They should've stuck with the voice actor. =( Toshiyuki Morikawa rocks as Sephiroth's voice.
@WyattTheRiot I agree with ya. Not only the voices but also *what* they say sounds better in English. I like it more when Genesis says "That's no way to talk to a hero" than the boring Japanese "I just want to be a hero" (so what?) etc etc
Exactly. It's not the Japanese is bad or anything, and I usually prefer anime and such in the original language, but I just think that it sounds better in English in this game. The dubbers did a great job! And that's saying something since that isn't always the case.
@RemusCL I gotta disagree on that last bit. Angeal just says "Do you want to destroy this place" and then Gensis goes suddenly "That's no way to talk to a hero!" and I just wonder .. why Genesis sounded so angry. I mean, Angeal hadn't INSULTED him or anything like that. Only told him to stop.
Ha yes! I saw him and was like "He's the spitting image of Gackt. Huh." Now it makes sense, with him voicing Genesis and all. I love him!

at 1:15 he says 'kuwashii na' (familiar) and not 'kuyashii na' (painful)
so it means pretty much '(you're) familiar with it, isn't it?' instead of 'painful, isn't it?'

Bawww, no love for Morikawa Toshiyuki? Admittedly I'm biased and adore the man, but I do like the slight wistfulness to his Sephiroth here.

In English, it looks like it's the same guy who's doing all the voices. (ok I exagerate)
Plus, there is no emotion. Clearly not as much as in Japanese.
Conclusion : English version suck , but if you think English is better , then it might be because you played the game in English , right?
Well , I personally started with English and I didn't even wanted to continue after the second mission , I HAD to get an undub version (which I did).

Genesis is played by Gackt in the Japanese version, and Genesis was modeled after Gackt, so it makes sense to like his Japanese VA better.
