Personally I like the Japanese voice overs the best.

I can tell you haven't been here very long... yeah; I have it... I've had the Japanese vol. 1 for some time now. >''> I need to order vol. 2. ><;

Wow, like, is Rhyste's avatar a scan of Balmung from the manga? Whoa! (Pardon my sarcasm)

Why does everybody bash on Amanda Wynn Lee? I suppose I'm just in love with her playing Rei Ayanami, but still! She can be over the top, but so are Japanese voice actresses!

-_- erhem...... I don't know Rhyste in real life so I wouldn't know. I know it's from the manga but how would I know if Rhyste owns it. For all I know Rhyste could have found the picture on the net. Think logically.

Yeah I haven't been here long.

Well, actually, they switched Balmung's VA in Mutation. But the reason Balmung's VA is different in the cutscenes an the FMV's, is the actor that did Balmung's VA in Infection, had already did the voice clips for the Battles. So to save time an money, they use the voice clips from Infection.

Just as a note, the name of the actor that does Balmung in the FMV's, is Crispin Freeman.

I wouldn't use the word everybody, when, everybody wasn't. Because I don't recall bashing Amanda Winn Lee. I simply stated, that I felt, that she could have done a littlle better with the character. That's all.

And just so you know, Amanda Winn Lee is one of my favorite voice actors.

I bashed on Amanda Winn Lee because she made Mimiru sound like a cross between dub Sailor Moon (elevated high pitched helium-ned voice) and dub Asuka (mild Country Hick tone).

well i dun think its that bad, mimirus voice, it seems to young for the actual player (outside the world) but i think it fits her personality.

Well.. Since no one really commented on Harold's voice, I'll just say that it annoyed me greatly in the Japanese version.. Wasn't sure if he had an echo in the background or what, it sounded like he was mumbling >_< But I dunno.. Been awhile since I've seen that episode.

I liked Harold's English voice ... if anything, it reminded me of Tsukasa's. Kind of lost in his own little world of painful memories and such. I'd give him a 4/5, just because he spoke so quietly that it was occasionally difficult to understand.
