*Sorry Guys I could only make this as an EDIT not a mod!* For anyone wanting to experience the story with the OG voice actor as Zack with updated graphics here you go! Some scenes still have the new VA (Caleb did pretty good in the latter half of the game I think) since the old game only voiced about 50- 60% of the scenes. EDIT: Wow I had no idea how many ppl also missed old Seph's voice (thought I was the only one in FF7R). But I admit I've fallen for Briana as Aerith, I prefer her voice.

There will never be a better Zack than Rick Gomez

You know the thing that Rick Gomez did so well voicing Zack, he understood that you’re supposed to think of Zack like he’s your big brother. It came across in the way he voiced him, from his inflections to his tone. That’s really what Caleb’s performance is missing.

@AlastarAmmit

Ай бұрын

Yeah Caleb makes him sound young, the scene where cloud and Zack talk while on the beds sounds so awkward

I think Crisis Core's melodramatic poetry vibe was easiest to take with this more muted and subtly expressive voice acting from Rick Gomez. I think he did a fantastic job and his tone perfectly fit the character. I'm sorry, Caleb, but your delivery just sounds either flat and awkward or overacted and reactionary. I also love how flat-out annoyed the OG Zack sounded whenever Genesis started his spiel.

Damn, really miss Rick's voice. I'm actually thinking of making an expanded version of the OG VA mod where the previously unspoken lines are voiced using an AI trained dataset of Rick Gomez's voice. I dabbled with a few vocal synthesis tools to generate the dialogue using the trained dataset. With a little tweaking I got some pretty convincing results!

I never got to play this when I was younger, and now that I'm older I don't have the time to game as much as I used to. So I decided I'd watch this, like a movie, and get the story from here!

Muting my TV and listening to this instead for cutscenes. Desperate times require desperate measures 😔

I get what people mean by not liking Sephiroths new VA. I thought he was alright, but now I realize he lacks emotion. The old VA, you could hear the smirk in his voice even though he delivered the lines in a calm way. The new VA makes him sound less relatable/human and that is what OG CC did for him. It made it sadder when he went crazy.

I'm so grateful that someone made an AI mod. Now we need AI Voice mods for Remake and Rebirth too.

Thank you for doing this ❤️ FFVII & CC are my all time fave FF’s in the series. I loved reunion seeing all my fave characters in this gen & all the environments in this gen - absolutely stunning & I’m so happy SE listened to our pleas for a this gen CC. But my only gripe was the voice acting - it really was an issue for me unfortunately. I had to play with Japanese VA cause the new VA’s really jarred my experience & didn’t convey/deliver the lines with the emotional depth that was needed, they just didn’t portray the same emotion & personification of the characters correctly due to how they delivered the lines with a lack of understanding the characters personality they’re playing Voice acting is still acting at the end of the day, you’re still playing a role, even tho we can’t see their face. It is important to the experience that it’s cast correctly & portrayed well & unfortunately I didn’t get that for the majority of them. The four mains really - Zack, Seph, Angeal & Genesis. It goes without saying that Rick Gomez is amazing as Zack & new VA def isn’t a patch on him. He can’t seem to convey mood through his voice very well & so it’s just the same tone & sound all the way through, as opposed to differentiating between happy, angry, sad, etc. just sounds like he’s not serious the whole time, when there are very dark moments in this story/emotions he feels. It’s the same tone for every mood. The extra little grunts, sighs & little nuances like that really elevates Ricks delivery of his lines to the next level. Impeccable acting & performance from him. As I say, not even just him tho - I feel the main 4 were really off & flat - I just hope someday they release a DLC where we can play with the OG voices, I would be all over that - day 1 purchase!! Idve loved if it had all the OG voices in this video tho coz as I say Seph genesis & Angeal were off too. if you ever do that tho with all the voices, that would be awesome!! I know it’s a lot of work tho.

And there is no getting around that. I do wish Caleb luck in the next FF7R installments.

Obviously, Cody as Cloud is perfect. And I don't know, why so much hate for Sephiroth's new VA? I like him, he does a really good job, but sometimes he sounds a bit softer, than OG actor.
