from what I've seen the celeb guy is new with no previous experience before not sure why everyone dying on a hill for him, why should we have to settle for less and sugarcoat things? its not "hating" or being a troll if people feel the older was objectively better. personally I'm okay with most of the new cast, but zacks its atrocious, I cant stand his nasally tone, so I'll be sticking with japanese VA's this time around.
i have just realized that Zack's love for his hometown echoes Yuffie's one for her own town. Cloud and Tifa, on the contrary, prefer to avoid thinking of Nibelheim, so does Barret with the mine town. Actually, Zack and Yuffie are the only two characters who think of their hometown in a positive way. I have never noticed that.
@@axelvoss9653 Well, Cloud and Tifa thinking of Nibelheim brings back bad memories since it was burned down by Sephiroth while Barret feels guilty for what happened in Corel, especially with everyone there blaming him and hating on him
I’m on the camp of adoring all of the new FF7R project English VAs. In FF7R, they bring these characters to life in ways that they never did before. Even *a certain someone* at the end of FF7R and the post-credits scene of INTERmission sounds as heartwarming and endearing as ever (minus the delivery of the iconic line being different, but not bad). That being said, I don’t believe the problem with Crisis Core Reunion’s awkward voice lines (Zack in particular) is the new VAs, but rather attempting to fit into the voice direction, old lip-syncing, and awkward, old JRPG-ish dialog of the original Crisis Core. Some characters do better than others, but Zack will have (hopefully) many a moment to shine when FF7 Rebirth comes around.
So I’ve never played the original Crisis Core. I just started playing this new one and I honestly like Zack’s voice. He’s funny and quirky and a direct contrast to the others. I think all the FFVIIR voice acting has been great. It’s just the right balance for me. They all match their character. Also this is hilarious 😂
I actually think it's the opposite for me. Rick Gomez was good in both departments but he made Zack's corniness endearing, the new VA makes Zack's corniness cringe but he's pretty alright in serious scenes
It’s pretty weird. He does fine in some areas, and bad in some also. Is someone directing Caleb? Because I think he can do it with the right direction?
@Z-Less-Runner_7 I think he's okay but not my favorite. I can tolerate his voice over but I had to play ccr in jp dub b/c I just couldn't with zack's new voice 😓
Yeah why people hate this voice actor I think he's okay and to be honest I heard way worse voice acting then this and comparing to this new zack voice I think it's much better
Gotta say, after initial dislike of Caleb's performance during what little we get to see during the other games, after spending a good 60 hours with him on my playthrough of Crisis Core over the last few days and going back and seeing OG scenes..... I've grown to actually PREFER the new VA. Much more fitting for Zack's high energy, reckless puppy vibe than the deeper, more badass sounding voice of Rick Gomez. Both did great of course in their roles, and ofc that's no disrespect to Gomez, he was the origin for bringing Zack to life, but I think as the archetype of the character is, a slightly younger, higher pitched, kinda 'kid at heart' voice suits him better now than I would've thought before. (also what a great edit lol, I stumbled onto the OG one a little bit ago and was wondering if there was a remake version and that it'd be funny if you did that, and then RUclips said 'well actually, here ya go!')
I know Rick Gomez performance was iconic and nothing's probably going to live up to it, but I do think people are being way harsh on the new guy. I thought he did a good job portraying Zack as the lovable dork that he is! Loved this update for your old classic video, too
I agree the fans are too harsh on the guy! I enjoy this portrayal of zack with Caleb's voice. Instead of the sexy cool guy vibes that Rick brought, you get the loveable dork with Caleb. I find it more endearing and in fact more heartbreaking once you have to watch him go. Just a nice guy caught up in all the crazy anime character's BS!
Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is about Zack's new voice. It sounds fine to me. I mean yeah, it's not the previous guy, but still decent. While I'm on the subject, I need to get this out of the way just once. If you need some time for Caleb's performance to grow on you, that's totally fine. I understand. But to anyone who thinks his performance is worth complaining about 24-7 and starting flame wars over, please, for the love of Shiva, GET A LIFE.
people not blaming the voice direction for zack's tone is not surpring lmao but yes !!!! the hd quality remake that we deserved after so long :) the crismas gift,,,,
The original video was one of my favs in existence so I'm so happy there's one updated for CCR!! (People are shitting on Zack's new VA but I think he sounds great, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
idk man i've never played that game before in my life but all i know is just THIS MAN IS SO FUCKING ATTRACTIVE IT MAKES ME GO FERAL NFAJSNDKLAJDKLASJDKAS 😫😫
All of the new VAs have performed well and I personally think the new voices still fit the characters- and maybe a better fit for a couple. With Zack, there are some moments where his lines sounded a little stiff, but overall, he did great with capturing Zack’s puppy-like nature and still maintained his charm, just in a different way than the original VA! There was enough respect to do that at least. I can respect everyone’s opinions, but seeing how people dog on the new VAs (especially for Zack) doesn’t sit right with me. Rather than celebrating the fact that these rookie VAs filled important roles, and performed well as iconic characters in such iconic titles, most would rather stay stuck on comparing the works of VAs with different levels of experience, different skill sets, and different interpretations of their character.
I think people are just too attached to whoever they hear do a role first. I didn't play Crisis Core because I didn't have a PSP. So my first time playing the game was the rerelease. Zack sounded somewhat Axel (from Kingdom Hearts) aligned. Fun, optimistic, energetic, but with some pathos and emotional depth. I've relistened to the OG and I get why people liked Rick Gomez's performance, but he didn't capture the sheer enthusiasm of youth. When Zack's whole world falls apart I think Rick did quite well there. I just can't identify any lines Caleb did poorly on.
He didnt. The purists always have a bone to pick. I personally think the original voices sound like robots compared to the remake. I love the remake to the bone
Can we expect a longer video of your journey through this game? You know when you continuously get punched in the gut with feelings all the way through.
I've played the original Crisis Core too many times that I miss Rick Gomez, but the new VA isn't bad per se, jist different from everyone's expectations. He still does well to portray someone with a certain purity.
This comment isn't toward your channel LeighXP but I will just add another reply here (first reply was on @blare 's comment): first of #StopTheNewZackFairHate, i have nothing agaisn't Rick Gomez's acting, good actor but there's UNACCEPTABLE videos about the new VA and it's very UNFAIR. You are of course free to not like or like it, everyone got their own preferences at the end of the day but is it really neccessary to give SO MUCH HATRED to the new VA and to tell other people NO DON'T PLAY THIS NEW GAME the new VA is TRASH, how terrible can you be like what the......guys that gives hatred to this game talk as if this new VA didn't gave a shit about his acting at all, excuse you? I believe they all worked hard to make this remake/remaster come to life and they are just shitting on it. Not great to see lots of hatred videos in my youtube recommandations feed it's rather sickening. Are you guys truly are real ff7 fans? It makes me wonder at times. I wouldn't prevent other people from playing tha game even if i was in the same mindset as some of you guys. I repeat im not trying to direspect Rick gomez's work, i respect him even but i also have respect for the new VA. Ugh these haters are sickening. Despite all this negitivity happening i wish everyone a great holiday and take care! (won't read or reply to hatred comments about my opinion on the matter so don't bother)

Why are people whinging and whining about the new voice actors? This performance is quality GOLD! I think this is just as good as the original voice actors if not better! C'mon guys 🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
i'm gonna be real. maybe you just picked some REALLY good scenes where the line delivery is fine, or the voice acting really is not that bad for what it is.
Man, the new VA's voice literally falls flat here. New guy is okay, but Rick Gomez had more believable emotion to it. Especially the matured tone after Zack received the Buster Sword.
@@BarcelonaBlitzer I agree. New Cloud is a better voice actor. He nails the scream at the end of CC and Remake he did a great job. But new Zack is awful.
Zack voice sounds kind sound dorky :( I like original actor better in my opinion but he sounds good : D I think its because it was on psp voices on it sound little off

"Awesome! We're gonna fail!" will never not make me cackle 🤣
I made a whatsapp sticker out of it lol
That is like the best quote of the game imo, so good.
It's somehow funnier than the original, "Excellent, uh, probably!" 😆
That line is even funnier and more endearing than the original dialog.
That new line is relatable in so many ways. I love it. XD
The more I play the game the more his new VA grows on me! He gives Zack the boyish charm and energy that he's known for.
"That's not even funny man" is easily in my top 5 quotes in... everything.
I always get a kick out of his "Of course not!" when Genesis asks if he knows what comes next in LOVELESS.
Finally, someone who’s not completely shitting on a guy who’s doing his best work as a voice actor.
Sepiroth **Is that the best he can do?**
Yeah right, should have blamed Square Enix for hiring an incompetent rookie voice actor for such an iconic character

If that's his best work they should have found someone better, or get him a better voice director.

I'm still not 100% sold on the new VA, but this compilation is helping with adjustment.
Oh wow, it's the real Dandy. It's an honor, sir.

Agreed. This Zack zucks. They either got the wrong guy or gave him poor voice direction - either way, doesn’t come close to the original.
