Mena Suvari Voice Actor For Aerith In Advent Children Dub!

[TheMCC91]

Why are people bashing her? Is the world really so fixed on sex that people can't see someone that is actually cute?

[bigman1171]

she looks like an ugly whore playing another ugly whore

[DeathGodRiku]

can someone find me a video of aerith's lines in AC

[luckyricky]

she does have great voice, sadly the voice directors over-did her

[DrBCorwen]

Mandy Moore ain't coming back, it seems like she has raised her Hollywood status the past few months. I saw her feautured in the LA Times Image section and its mentioned she's pretty high on the "Best Dressed Celebrity List for Females" or somethin'...as if it matters. Also I don't think that actor who voiced Squall in the first KH is never going show up again either, especially since he got slandered by the papz a while back. Well KH2 Squall is well acceptable, it'll grow on me.

[danbrown565]

i hated her in kh2

[Uchitoru90RPG]

Lol Square iz awesome if they know what the audience wants when hiring voice actors. Sound alike. But i don't mind most times, hearing new voices is always awesome.

[1314kingdomhearts]

she sounds nothing like Aerith

[Uchitoru90RPG]

@1314kingdomhearts it's called "voice acting" u alter your voice to make a new voice.

[FF9MovieMaker]

I do like mandy moore, but i think mena suits aerith in AC, mandy moore probably better, but i absolutely hate andrea bowen as aerith, she sounds too, in a way, normal, takes away from the character i feel, doesn't make her seem as special or unique

[hemanshera777]

Are there any interviews for Wally Wingert of George Newbern for this movie?

[MegaFinalFantasy7]

sounds like kitty from x-men :D

[Meowster34]

She did a good job in Advent Children; seemed a bit off kilter, though. Her regular voice would have been much better and very fitting instead of the sweet and gentle tone she was trying to come across as.

She was.. really awkward in Kingdom Hearts. 

[vampiresEMOs]

Why do people not like her voice? It rocks!

and it's sooooo cute <3

[xRaineDropsx]

@vampiresEMOs

Thank you! :] I thought I was the only one.

[anime12374]

she thas force it because she sound awsome here n aerith voice in anoying well i dont like it at all but like this is fine

[mishisume]

her name is Aeris

[AyameAmuro]

@mishisume aerith in japanese

[emokidmercedes]

I still don't really like Aerith's voice, but this woman ruined it.

[SpankSandwitch99]

She did a rather good job in the original Advent Children, but i can understand why people didn't like her cuz of Kingdom Hearts 2. Either way, i guess she's been effectively replaced now?

[hauntingrequiems]

I really am not a fan of her voice, I think nothing can touch Maaya Sakamoto's voice.

[lalagirl211]

who do u prefer tifa or aerith!????

[anber2000]

@lalagirl211 tifa :D:D

[mysticdaniel]

cloudkitt, Aerith is a girl lol you said " Andrea Bowen did HIS voice in Crisis core" Sorry just thought that was funny

[cloudkitt]

Andrea Bowen did his voice in Crisis Core, not Mena Suvari. In the FF7 Compilation, you'd know Andrea Bowen as the moogle girl in AC

[freacls]

she remindes me of Namine in Kingdom hearts a bit

[NyloStar]

No way man, she ROCKED in Advent Children; hands down.

Her voice is annoying as hell in normal life, but as Aeris when she's in the frame of mind, it's awesome.

[Niobesnuppa]

I think she's a seriously bad voice actor. She didn't have that many lines in the movie, so it wasn't that bad here, but I absolutely hated her voice in Kingdom Hearts 2! No emotion in her voice whatsoever!

[linxZuraith]

Thats why they changed her voice for crisis core.

They should have stayed with Mandy Moore.

I loved her in A walk to remember and Saved.

[Niobesnuppa]

Yeah, Mandy Moore was muche better at Aerith than Mena Suvai. (Sorry, haven't played Crisis Core yet so I don't know what she sounds like there)

[linxZuraith]

I haven't played crisis core either.

I don't own a PSP.

[Niobesnuppa]

Yeah, me neither, I only have PS2.

[xXSafaiaShinobiXx]

In Crisis Core she was awesome!

I just listened to Mena for 5 seconds before pausing the video.

[redbunnychan]

I like both actors. I like how gentle how gentle voice is in Kh and AC. It shows how kind she is. Also like how she in CC because it shows us that can be stubborn at times.

[thrasherwartooth]

And also she is younger so alittle more playful. Both actresses did well

[BooRawrGrr]

i liked her voice..it was so, sweet and calm and original :D a voice to remember and it fit aerith

[angeleyes1489]

she's right. she did suck. she was a horrible Aerith.

[twilightlink606]

awesome, lol.

heather from american pie!

[kishl]

she played in american beauty didnt she she goes topless

[Sephi65566]

i sort of like her just the same as mandy moore in kh. :D she has that "natural" kinda thing goin that just drives through aerith's voice.^^

[namineapple]

Why didn't use her talking voice as Aerith?? It would've been perfect~

[Cimis6090]

lol, whats all this talk about Aerith having different voice actors? I had no idea, they all sound so similar.

[Wishmaster300]

Mandy Moore is the best Aerith!!!

[MrRobertSama]

Absolutely true, I wish they had stuck with her as I just cant connect with Mena Suvari's voice.

[sleepiexpanda]

i agree. i hope Mandy Moore comes back ...

[AlchemyOfDawn]

mandy moore played aeris??

[axelxaldan]

1. it's aerith

2. yeah. in kingdom hearts 1

[Hanako0806]

You totally corret!!!

She is the PURE AERITH!!!!

[ilikecheeseverymuch0]

the name could be both aerith or aeris.

[beano090593]

@Wishmaster300 I dunno! She was great, no denying, but I'm torn between her and Andrea Bowen if you've played Crisis Core. Mena's terrible though!

[Wishmaster300]

@beano090593 Yeah, She and Andrea were the best. I think Mandy ultimately pulls through though.

[DeathGodRiku]

@Wishmaster300 no. the girl from crisis core is the best

[project3fourteen]

i agree, she sounded a bit rubbish in kh2 but she was fine in advent children, anyway neither mena or mand y come close to andrea bowen, she nailed aerith in crisis core, shes the best fit yet, if they do another game or film or whatever with aerith in it, then she needs to play aerith!  her voice just fits perfectly with how i imagined aerith would sound,

[traneezy]

IMO, she didn't sound very good in KH2, but she did do a much better job in Advent Children.

[traneezy]

That being said, Andrea Bowen is the best Aerith!

[KHlovechild]

Yeah

[zero1991]

wtf that doesnt even sound like her >_>.

[DuncanDunn]

I was just searching Advent Children on wiki, and I didn't know Mena Suvari was Aerith's voice, it was shocking but I think the voice was perfect..:))

[DuncanDunn]

but some lines she says on FF it sounds really fake..but Tifa sounds faker..

[jaxratch]

she doesn't look as good as Aerith

[waaaaaalt]

she wasn't right for aerith, too monotone. JAPANESE CAST FTW!

[meerkat1954]

I didn't like her too much in AC. But from previews she sounds better in Crisis Core.

[Shinner07]

I think there was a different person in Crisis Core.

[pokupokupoku]

Mena's a good actress, but not a good voice-actress.

Too many people think Aerith is supposed to be a "soft and sweet" character, but she's not. She's a bit on the pushy side and has a very "sheery" personality. Mena Suvari certainly didn't portray that well.

[Ishu]

A different person did it; Andrea Bowen. I don't even like Aerith and I think it is a LOT better.

Mena isn't a great actress.

[grimmpoe]

HOLY SHIT THATS THE GIRL FROM AMERICAN BEAUTY! I'm never going to be able to hear aerith the same way again!

[tgohan]

wow! shes really hot! in my opinion!

[Shebumdevi]

Mandy Moore is an Aerithy sorta female. Good hearted and all that. Sorry Mena, step down ;_; prease?

[Jdeadevil]

Good point!

[KeijiKG]

Mandy Moore was better.

No amount of money will make me say otherwise.

I mean come on, Mandy was actually religious and usually played "innocent" characters...PERFECT MATCH!

[bringsan90]

Mandy Moore? Hell,no.

[KeijiKG]

Sounded a hella lot better than Mena Suvari.

Though so far Andrea Bowen whups them both thank god.

[lordemisama]

cool!!!

[igorv2204]

i love her.

[majinbuu1307]

shes not ugly you fruitcup. and the american voice over for AC movie was one of the best switches. unlike naruto and a few others. DBZ was weird cuz the japanese voice actors SUCKED and the american ones where better

[KeijiKG]

Your logic has to be that dubs have to sound like their Japanese actors in order not to suck for the mentioned anime series.

[RikkuSanctuary]

Aeris is my Favorite FFVII charecter. Her voice actress is UGLY.

[soraxemo]

hwy...she's not ugly. dnt judge the book by it's cover she's a great person ya know!

[Hawkai192]

Sorry. Hawkai192 made me write the ugly part. He diden't have an account at that time.

[tifa122]

wher did u get the vid from ?

[darthjinstu]

It's on IGN.

[New2Ya]

She's trying too hard when voicing. That's why she sucks.

As an actress and during interviews and stuff, she sounds natural and energetic, exactly like Aerith. That's why she was chosen by Square, not to sound like a dead zombie.

So come on Mena!!! You sound great naturally, dont force it!

[AerithGains]

I think that both Mena and Mandy should have played the games before they got to do the voice acting. Anyone that actually played the game would give anything to have their jobs. but...if I must have a preference, I liked Mandy's voice a little more.

[XxRefiaxX]

Hmm I perfer Mena in this one. I think that Mandys voice was a bit to 'childish' yet Aerith is more 'mature' but energetic. Sure there may have been parts in kh2 where it seemed like she had no emotion BUT imagine mandy moore playing Aerith in Advent Children, I just think that Mena has more of an 'Aerith accent' being soft, swe3t and gentle you know.

I think Mandy Moore would have suited Tifa ^^

Just my opinion =]

[KingOfCarrotflowers]

She shone in spun.

[FinalDestination019]

Mena rules, even thought I don't like her character, she rocks!

[punkfuck2204]

that girl is my fucking godess

[LovelyMyko]

Mena looks scary, yes, but she did fine. Honestly, I liked Mandy Moore's voice for Aerith better, but Mena isn't bad. I mean, I would do a much better job than both actresses because I've played the game and I can mimick my voice to sound exactly like AC's and KH2's Aerith. *Shrug*

[kikosho2002]

Okay those ho keep bashing Mena's voice acting as Aeris needs to stop! hen u get paid millions to do voice acting then u can talk but until then, shut it! Square obviously picked Mena for a REASON! Mena did OKAY in KH2 her voice was nice but SOME parts did sound a bit emotionless but in FFVIIAC She did SO much better! I've heard her voice and Mandy's voice as Aeris at the same time and truth is, they sound similar. I actually hope that Mena plays Aeris again if she can!

[Jamie321R]

how can we trust her to get the charicter right if she dose not understand her charicter and the other chariters fully she should play the game fully and try to understand the chariter so she will be the same Aeris thats in the game

[xiaft]

Mandy Moore did a MUCH better job. *bash Bash Bash*

she will suck at RPGs and she will suck at voice acting! *more bashing* okay sorry about that but I'm done now....

[XanderVJ]

Come on guys! She did a pretty good job in AC. Her voice sounded pretty forced, but the performance was good enough.

She sucked in KH2, though... a lot... Maybe because she had more lines and it was more noticeable...

[lab8985]

Ewwww! Ugly old hag!

[yoshi118]

I think she's a great choice (in advent children atleast) in kh2 she was kinda...drugged.... but in advent children she rocks with the subtle voice acting. you can hear emotion

[Koudelkafan]

She's alright. You can't blame her for not playing the games, the woman is an actor. She's been in movies and TV shows (most notably Nip/Tuck). It's not like she specializes in games.

[Aeritho86]

I like her, she does a great job!

[ElliotmewmewisSEXY]

Get the one of who plays Cloud , Kadja , whats his name , rude and the really long hiared dude

[Nanakigirl3]

The only reason she sounds better in Advent Children than she does in Kingdom Hearts II is that her voice was all echo-ey and stuff so it was harder to to tell how boring and sucky she was o_O

[Daggerfall40]

I agree with one guy who said Mena Suvari was too monotone. She sucked as Aerith both in KH2 and FFAC. Mandy Moore would have been a better choice.

[pESCAbAdA]

Oh God, so much hate for Mena. Well, I thought she was the perfect Aerith. I don't see where the no emotion comment comes from because I hear plenty of it. And to the people who think she's ugly, it's just her hairstyle here, most of the time she's really pretty looking.

[r1kku27]

i agree with the other commentors. aerith's english voice does suck -_-

[junnyy3464]

no...i think mena suvari's aerith voice sucks...mandy moore did a much better job on doing aerith!!!

[datsexycapricorn]

She did sound beter in AC....I wanted to shoot her in KH2.....Wow....she's ugly. O_O So unlike Aerith....XD

[strawberryotaku]

I think that Mena was SOOOO much better in Advent Children than in Kingdom Hearts 2. In fact, in AC I LOVED how she did it-she just didn't deliver the same performance for KH2.

[brswan]

Mandy Moore I think did a great job, but in all Mena did a good job for never doing anything like this before and she put the cheerfulness into Aeris.

[humonculus]

She sucked in KH2.

[Mefuki]

She was too monotone. She sounded like she walk into the studio, without having read the script. It sounded like she was reading not acting. 

[GrimaProductions]

I liked her as Aerith. She was better than Mandy Moore which is a big plus, and she has just the right amount of cheerfulness and just the right amount of breathiness. Not the way I imagined Aerith, but still pretty good. She had a difficult task in front of her.

[kafk1]

they tried to get mandy moore but she wouldnt do it.

[cloudluva454]

well i've seen a lot of hatred up there, but i have to agree.they should've used mandy moore instead and before anyone argue with me hear my reasons first plz:

1.she has no emotion in her voice at all/it's like she just hit herself and not cry

2.she pauses too much/imagine her studdering like in kingdom hearts 2 makes me sick

3.she has never played any of the games yet, Square Enix insists that she plays one of the best characters out of the whole final fantasy series!

[for1555]

noo she does suck in the movie she has no emotion when she talks but its ok i guess

[GuyOnFyre]

she needs to die

[TwinTaurus2007]

she actually doesnt sound too bad in the movie

[Remykhearts]

y was MANDY MOORE CHANGED yo she was BETTER than her EWWWW EWWWWWWWWWW EWWWWWWWWW

[Yuna1881]

she was horrible in Kingdom Hearts II... I really hope she did a better job in the movie.

[chocosora]

In KH2, her voice was a failure o__O. Nothin' against her, but she seems 2 have something's stuck in her mouth, while at da same time, she talks -__-. If Mandy Moore was not replaced by her in KH2, Mandy could b voicing Aerith right now.

[kawaiifluff]

She really sux BAD

1) she's NEVA played any of the games

2)She dont no the bakgrounds

and 3)The film was ruined not only by terrible voice acting from her but from nearly everyone

VERY VERY very disapointed with the eng version

[lixiethedomedone]

actually i really think i could do better....& i would probably suck....but it would be better than that...anyone could do better....heck my DOG could do better....

jk....my dog couldn't do better....but anyone else could

p.s. steve burton is awesome as cloud....no one deny it

[yuna66]

People calm down! So what if you hate her, so what if you thought her part as Aeris in KH sucked?! That's not the point. It isn't the best, so what? Could you do better??? Go and say lines that millions of people would listen to? Sheesh,it's only a movie based on a game. She'll enjoy as the rest of the cast will. So don't be mean to them. Sometimes people go too far...

[mischievoussoul]

Blah. She sucks. =\

[laosdude]

She sounds like any normal girl

[kunglaoGXT]

shit man.......so much hate on her.how would you feel if you had to do voice acting?yes i admit she needs more work on her voice acting......but damn people!!!!!!!

[Auroradreamaker]

I agree with you.

Everyone, it's seriously not the END OF THE WORLD, if she doesn't make the perfect Aerith. Let's not forget that these characters are fictional and that this is only A GAME. xD

Also, I don't think it's really apporiate to compare the Japanese voices to the English. Honestly, unless you can speak it fluently, you should just keep your mouth shut. xD

[YunaBraska]

Uh, yeah...maybe that's because I haven't heard anyone say she sounds good in this movie *rolls eyes*. I'm not knocking "english voice actors". From what I have heard I think everyone sounds great except for her and I'm sure they could have gotten someone better.

[YunaBraska]

Man, she seems clueless. And to those who say we can't judge her yet; we've played Kingdom Hearts 2, morons! In case you people didn't know, Aerith is in the game and Mena played her! We HAVE heard her as Aerith and she blows so there!

I really hate her in this role. She is horrid especially because this is such a beloved character.

[Auroradreamaker]

You make me LOL~ You fail to realize that it's been reported several times how much improved she became in the Advent Chuldren dub~!

As the poster of this video, from now on. I want people to only post about the positive aspects of the dubbing and voice actors.

English dub nazi's=annoying. ;X I'd like to see you do better.

[meewekabanana]

Pff.. listening to her va interview for kingdom hearts 2, and having to listen to her in kingdom hearts 2 is enough to 'judge and hate her :/ ARG I hate her hate her hate her!

[Saerenna]

I HATED her voice in KHII!!!!

[TalkingPants353]

u cant just judge the movie without even seeing it yet ): assholes...

[t3hxf0oL]

her voice acting for aerith sucked...

...horribly.

knowing she did the dub for her in AC makes me not wanna get it when it comes out. I`ll stick to the Japanese version.

[MirandaTwilight]

Why is it when she talks I can totally picture her as Aeris, but when she actually voice acts Aeris I want to blow my tv up?

[11111111]

Has anyone actually HEARD the english dub yet? You can't base acting skills based off of an interview, its called acting.

[datsexycapricorn]

the movie was good and she sounded better in the movie than in KH2 *nod, nod* ....I still hate her. >_<

[no1rican]

i hate her, i hate her with an esteemed passion *begins cleaning high powered sniper rifle* whose idea was this. Square, why are u ruining good things with crappy voiceovers. They shoud have kept mandy moore. at least i could imagine her voice with aerith's

[violentmidget]

...I wonder if she has any idea how much everyone hates her for this.

I swear, she's never going to work again. She'll probably be stoned to death once the film comes out officially.

[Kuraianime]

god she's friking ugly!!! and her voice is aweful~~!!! no wonder it turned out so badly, they shoulda just stuck with mandy moore from KH1....

[saturnguardian90]

well this just ruins everything -________-|||

[MinuRitz]

She doesn't deserve to play Aerith's voice.

[Auroradreamaker]

For your information, *NONE* of the VA's have appeared to play the games.

o_o

[AkuxRyu]

Plus she hasn't even play the game beforehand! ._.

That kinda' helps...a lot. T_T

[pokupokupoku]

Actually, Red XIII's voice-actor has played FFVII. He was apparently really disappointed to find out that he only had one line in the whole movie. Haha. Poor guy.

[SleepyRagnarok]

I only heard his line the first time I watched the movie...I missed it somehow every time after that x.x

[AkuxRyu]

Exactly. =__=;

[KloudStrife]

Poor choice by SE for Aerith's voice.
