2:50 Something fun here. Cutscenes don't take place in, say, a pre-rendered location that looks like the current area - it's special camera angles, animations, and character models being placed onto the current setting. This is relevant bc in Track 6, if you're fast enough, you can get to the L.I.F.T. while Korsica's speaking, and you can actually see the monitors with her profile in the back of the hallway at the cutscene's start - as well as their return to a default blue logo when she stops talking. In certain cutscenes, you can summon someone right before it starts, and their animations will play while Chai does his whatever

Major kudos to the voice director for getting this cool as hell role reversal from Roger Craig Smith & Robbie Daymond. A. If RCS considers retiring from Sonic again, we might have a solid successor on our hands (next to a potential Ben Schwartz if Movie & Game Sonic were to become one entity). B. If RCS could do this good in a villain role, Sega could've saved money & pulled a Persona 4 by having him voice *both* Sonic & Shadow. Would've flexed the villain bone RCS has *and* leaned more into the clone aspect of Shadow's character. Maybe send the idea back down the timeline and have Ryan Drummond voice both in SA2 to set up for the future.
Now that I'm aware I can definitely hear Pancakes in there, but Chai sometimes gets really close to being Sora/Vanitus (both voiced by Haley Joel Osment, so different guy).
I don't think I've ever heard a line in a video game delivered with such conviction and believability than "Why's the coffee machine need a firmware update?!"
This game is like one of those Ps2 era games that you fondly remember in a good way.
