I am at the end of FFVII for the first time, and it's really a completely different experience watching these trailers having played the game.
One of the GOAT games. Very excited

FFVII Remake - Cloud character trailer
- Thread starter Lifejumper
- Start date
Cloud's reaction to the whole "I know you can hear the planet too" coming from Barret:
The VA definitely sounds inspired by Robery Downey in Tropic Thunder.
well the english translation definitely seemed to be inspired by Mr. T or something like that. That's what I thought when I was a little kid.
guess I wasn't the only one who felt that.
Heads up, this is the "white guy doing an impression of what he thinks a black guy sounds like" himself.
Cloud's reaction to the whole "I know you can hear the planet too" coming from Barret:
Someone please take the meme and substitute the cat for this image of cloud
This hits me right in the kokoro. All the memories... It's so good.
And the voice acting/localization/voice direction is so on point. Hasn't been this good since FF12. Please Square, who ever did this, give them a raise, use them always, and teach other teams how this was done.

I love them both lmao. Thank you!

Barret's Voice Actor is the weak link, as far as voice casting is concerned. I don't know if the character was supposed to sound like a preacher that leaped from a Blaxploitation movie from the 70's (either in the original Japanese release or Western localization), or that's the direction the casting director had given to Barret's voice actor for the Remake.
But it's making me go into fits of laughter whenever Barret appears on-screen. And I don't know if that was the intention.

With regards to the original, Cloud couldn't be any more on point. Everything in this trailer is perfectly faithful to Cloud in FFVII. I like how they're playing up his Midgar personality about who he thinks he is.
I love how they repurposed the memorable scenes in 2015 to the game we see today. The close up of the little girl's eye from the original CG trailer now shows the reactor blowing up, and Jessie and Biggs talking about Cloud from the PSX 2015 trailer is there too. Nomura gets this shit right for people who've followed the game for over four years now.

I can't tell you how much I needed this.
It's cute how shy she is but....her boobs are really distracting me now.
Like, I wouldn't even notice if it was in a more cartoony/anime style because I'm used to it but the realism makes this pop out way more on her really small frame.
Also, I'm bothered by her asymmetrical arm wear.

English Barret is way too hammy. The Weeb Barrett has a much more subdued delivery.
So you'd rather see Barret played by an Asian man than a black man, I see.
Just kidding.
He was a Mr. T parody in the English localization.
Potentially even in Japanese too.
I think he is FF"s first black main character so he might not have aged all that well and they should've updated that a bit more.
Barrett is hot and thats all that matters, i dont need anyone else
gimme that sailor costume
yknow thats no different than wanting to hear a white va.
gimme that sailor costume
so youd rather listen to a japanese person voice a black character than a black person

I'd rather listen to a voice track that is at least inoffensive to my ears rather than listen to a voice actor that's coached up to sound like a stereotype, the perfomance borders on offensive to me.......But at the same time I can also step back and not put that all on the voice actor too. TBH I've had a problem with Barrett ever since I was a kid, all of my friends and I took issue with his character but we looked past it because we had very little representation in video games back then. Barrett was written terribly and was kind of buffoon-ish, but at least he was kinda cool and had some bad ass moments so we all reluctantly embraced his character. I was hoping Square would scale back on Barrett's character a bit and make him less of a stereotype but nope. I can look past it (again) and realize he's just a product of the time ( The Mr. T comparison makes it easier to digest though, I never put 2+2 together for some reason so props Lunar Wolf for pointing that out), but I don't want to listen to his voice, it bothers me and I can't help it.
This is a very good point. Although to be fair to the new VA, the original game doesn't really get into more of Barrett's serious, more mellow side until after they leave Midgar and get to Corel (which the remakes won't cover until the next game). For this entry though, hopefully his performance at least mellows out whenever we get to see Barrett act as a father to Marleen onscreen and maybe the events involving the Sector 7 plate later into the Midgar portion of the story help mellow him out a bit too?
So good
Yeah, the new versions of the songs are so good. I've loved them in each of the trailers.

I love this community lol

Love it. Don't want to be those guys but the the hand should be a gun since Barrets right have was the gun.
The music is so phenomenal and attention to all the details is amazing. I only completed FF7 for the first time a couple years ago so, without nostalgia glasses, it seems like this is staying true and giving us the remake deserving of the FF7 moniker. So stoked to play this, I'm only sad it's just Midgar. Hopefully it's not too long of a wait for the rest of it.
