I'm not done yet, but man am I done with the game. I'm so sorry to be so mean to a voice actor, but man was this character interpretation so bad. I have to assume the casting director is doing a favor, or is being blackmailed, or is sleeping with the voice actor because omfg, the actor is just doing a bad job.

I never played the original but every time someone shows me an original clip of the old game, I can't help but wonder why Square Enix decided to get rid of that voice actor. I understand there MAY be a difficulty in portraying a young person when you're much older, but damn did they have to get someone so nasally?

That plus the annoying AI saying "activating combat mode" every time you enter a fight, makes this game a bit of a chore.

which sucks because I think there are some solid ideas here and there, but overall I don't think this game needed to exist. I really hope the Zack Fair voice actor gets some strong coaching and lessons, or just gets replaced by the original actor, because I have no clue how I'm going to withstand his voice in the next FF7R chapter.

I can't even rate this game yet. I'm so annoyed by the actor that I've shelved this. I'll just play with my sephiroth amiibo in smash bros instead.
