@@ButtersLStotch Rick Gomez has actually said he would love to return as Zack. But I can only think that Square won't hire him because he's either in a Union. Or they are dead set on keeping Caleb as the new Zack.
Couldn't agree more. I also miss Steve Burton and George Newbern as Cloud and Sephiroth respectively, but the new voice actors also do an amazing job and were easy to adjust to. They really grew on me. Hell, everyone does an amazing job. But as for Zack's, I always find myself wishing Rick Gomez was at least still voicing Zack. He really just got Zack. His new VA just hasn't quite clicked for me like everyone else has, unfortunately.
@@kidridgedLPWhich is a huge shame... I also heard that they were dead set on replacing everyone for the remakes in general. Even though, for some reason, they remain the same in japanese. Like I said in the other comment, everyone has pretty much grown on me and they do great. But Zack, well, it feels like Caleb'll have to work a lot harder to match up to Rick's performance. His voice just feels too... Idk, high-pitched for me or something. But, in his defense, I haven't quite finished Rebirth, so maybe he'll change my mind... Hopefully.
PSP Cinematics were on point and still are years later. It seems like they didn't touch the cinematics in the PS5 versio, they didn't need to. They just changed the gameplay graphics
They might've lost the original files, the fmv software is outdated/discontinued or they didn't even bother to re-render because upscaling AI is cheaper and gets the job done just enough. But in essence, yeah it still holds up very well. Still prefer they re-render to true high resolutions but also not change a thing in models, effects etc
The cinematics were made by a third party, they’d have to remake from scratch for no reason if they tried to touch on something. Whih would be waay too much wasted money for something trivial, upscale was the better idea.
Acually the psp version has the same style of cutscenes ive beat it mutiple times its one of my fav ff games only thing i dnt like is that the og cast isint playing thier characters
The OG voice for Zack and Angeal Zack: oh yeah Angeal: get serious And Angeal: world domination Zack: that's not even funny man Always gave me chuckle, the new voices nah
@@finixmoon127 Rick sounded like a cocky 20 year old himbo and as the story kept going his entire world crashed. His tone and inflections changed. Caleb while a fine VA I'm sure. Does not have that same cocky attitude nor change in tone and inflections. That's probably because of direction and not his actual delivery.
I like the old actors more than the remake wish they kept the original ones but it’s kinda funny that the creators reused the scenes from the game like the cutscenes where we see the beginning to the end.
this scene tbh is way more epic and gathers alot of viewers attention than any other ff movies.... i like all ff movies but crisis core has some of the thrilling scenes of it imagine they make movie of this
Meh. More colorful because of the PSP's limitations. . . Kinda hard to explain. And voice acting? Y'all complain too damn much. Worse than my five year old.
Because it could be the capture device, emulator or rendering software being different. Or the guy who posted edited a little bit to make it look a little different. Or color correction from the devs.
@@clemo86v24 Not at all. You can prefer Zack’s old voice but claiming the old VA was better or even “Good” is ignorant to say the least. It was garbage. Probably terrible and rushed Voice Direction/production.
This isn’t rendered in-game. How do people still not know this? What did you think was going on when you play the gameplay and it looks nothing like those fancy cinema quality visuals in certain especific cutscenes?
I like the older cutscenes more angular eyes, other than that it's mostly an improvement. Voices are worse. Graphics are technically better but lack the charm the old stylized graphics did. Battle system is just 1000% better
I'll point out this was an FMV cutscene and it is currently being rendered at a much higher resolution than the psp was capable of. So it's a bit of a dishonest comparison.
Now i am gonna have to get into Final Fantasy after i finish Kingdom Hearts, see what you did? making me give all my money to Square Enix! well at least they make good games... yeah we can just forget about Balan Wonderworld
Interesting that the video quality is purposely switched. The PSP version (top) is actually the PS5 version, while the PS5 version (bottom) is really the PSP one. Also, Caleb is amazing as Zack, just as Rick was. Get over your purist nostalgia shit!!!

Start the game with "come and get it"
End with "come and get it"
Damn. It's Zack's real voice.
Yes!
Right??? 😂😂
Lol. Right?
That moment you realize he was strong enough to jump a full train car with little wind resistance.
video games' logic. haha
That's what supersoldiers can do to u.
That's a SOLDIER for ya!
Technically that fool was living his best life with a VR HEADSET on but nonetheless super soldier logic 😅
It’s also a simulation
Glad you used Zack's OG english voice
New guy is suck
Damn it shows this psp cutscene is legit had ps5 graphics back on psp
Eh, final fantasy CGI cutscenes have always looks this good on every console . Even ps1 lol

Thats because the ps5 is just playing an enhanced FMV from the psp it wasnt remade for ps5
And the ps5 looks washed out according to this low res vid
@@abramrick3079yes very true lol 😂
Damn, I miss Gomey’s voice so damn much. Such a perfect fit for Zach
Regardless of the comparison I’m just glad to be playing this game again after so many years
The psp looks more vibrant
I miss the real Zack. The original VA understood Zack’s character so well.
I wonder what you think about the voice now after Rebirth?
Did he die or just leave the franchise?

It's crazy what mako injections can do
PSP was so ahead of its time.
i get what they were going for but adding the gray filter to this scene just makes it look worse imo

Nothing beats Rick G.
Old va are the bestest of the best.
This isnt even the OG PSP version.. its the upscaled emulated PC version of PSP... roflmao.. not to talk about the bad ps5 color recording.
thanks, cap.

@@xxzombiepro69xx35 yes because these are prerendered.. talking about the ingame engine graphics. These are much better her than in the OG
You know cgi scenes are the same? Lmfao fanboy
@@MrGipiem Not when running with upscaling and emulator.
The OG voice for Zack and Angeal
Zack: oh yeah
Angeal: get serious
And
Angeal: world domination
Zack: that's not even funny man
Always gave me chuckle, the new voices nah
its a remaster not a remake idk why people dont understand why it sounds similar and looks pretty close to the original. yall slow
To be fair. Soldier operatives we're all on steroids.
Zack old voice 🔥🔥🔥
Exactly
Can they just bring back the OG VA for zack. Why cant they?😢
Licensing.
Wait i heard that voices
What's wrong with the calebs voice he sounds great to me

Good to know, that the bad guys still have terrible aim... except the last 3 Shinra troops. Somehow they got good aim. 😠
We need gameplay comparison
Here you go.

Why does it look better on psp
Because it is🤦🏾♂️😭 and I have my copy still and wasted 50 dollars on the remaster🥲
Bcs technology today is one big mess
Cashgrab scam
What kind of question is that ?
This is the original version with downgraded improved visuals
@@litt420 bcs u re too cringe
I think a big part of it has to do with the lighting

そうですね
I wonder how the psp graphics are a little bit better than the ps 5

Battle system is just 1000% better
Pretty darn similar
Funny how this used to be the highest quality cutscene now it's the worst.
Playing the story made it less believable that a legion of soldiers killed him. Especially after beating Minerva.
Is the ps5 version supposed to be that fuzzy?
I'll point out this was an FMV cutscene and it is currently being rendered at a much higher resolution than the psp was capable of. So it's a bit of a dishonest comparison.
why is the psp a little bit clearer...
❤
Zacks old VA was hated so much after the original came out and now everyone's acting like they always liked him. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
I never saw any hate about his voice back then.
That's bullshit
Cap
Dont talk on the air. You fool.
Now i am gonna have to get into Final Fantasy after i finish Kingdom Hearts, see what you did? making me give all my money to Square Enix! well at least they make good games... yeah we can just forget about Balan Wonderworld
man, you should also give FFXVI a try. 😀
If i play them i am probably playing all of them, but thank you for the recommendation!@@MangKokey
Psp is better cus of the voice
Exactly
Why does the new version look worse?,
Because it really is.
This is no Solid Snake, or Lord Vader, he can be replaced and new va did an ok job. I don't get the drama.
Psp looks better 😂
Zack can't even jump in gameplay :/
Wow PSP outdoes PS5. Gonna throw my PS5 away now. Go grab me a PSP 2022
Genius. Not like pre-rendered doesn’t change no matter the time. Or the fact it’s the exact same scene upscaled. The PSP clearly outdid the PS5...
@Aiden Stark damn straight I'm a genius. Glad you noticed 😁
Me? Gongaga.
No différence 😭
Am I the only one who really likes the new VA? I feel like the old one doesn’t suit his character as well
So you are an animal no doubt
Game play Is better on ps5
PSP looks better
yes buddy. and love the original VAs.
The colours seem a bit more muted on the PS5 version 😮
@@llrainll This guys settings are just scuffed, its not that dull colors.

So... no difference then?

Yup, Rick Gomez and George newbern all the way. They've made a joke of the remakes.
Also steve burton
Not much difference
Why does it look worse?
Oof og Zacks voice sounds rough glad they changed it
It's a defo not buy for ps5 looks exactly the same as the psp version so pointless
This is just the Cinematic versions. You should see the gameplay difference.
@@Darkdude38 ow I'll check it out buddy havnt seen anything on it but this
It's the same cgi cutscreen... According to this video, the psp version looks better. I think this video, might be BUNK. Booooooo.

PS5 way better
Not really much of an upgrade considering the long wait
Interesting that the video quality is purposely switched. The PSP version (top) is actually the PS5 version, while the PS5 version (bottom) is really the PSP one.
Also, Caleb is amazing as Zack, just as Rick was. Get over your purist nostalgia shit!!!
