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.
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?
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!
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 😂
Just remember, Zack left Gongaga at the age of 13, he was very young going into SOLDIER so naturally, his younger sounding voice does make sense in reunion
@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
Caleb done good as Zack over time. There were some lines performed differently, which some fans aren’t happy about, but Caleb’s performance improved even further in FFVII Rebirth, both at the beginning of the game, and the final boss fight.
You know what, why not just make a great compilation even greater by making it a compilation of the great lines by both old and new voice actors/game. 😊 we should just love zack and nothing else
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)_/¯)
activating "im a grown ass man but everytime is see zack i act like a 14 yo girl because he is so cool and the only hero this universe needs" mode. *clears throat*
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 UA-cam said 'well actually, here ya go!')
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.
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,,,,
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.
Omg, I just realize this is a remake to your earlier Zack edit "zack fair is perfect" great on you to use some scenes similar to the first one you did too! 🤩 I love it! Thanks for doing this. Your love for Zack remains the same 🥰😍❤
I AM LITERALLY CRYINGFG LMAOOASBHJBAFHSBFDL THE OG VIDEO WAS ICONIC ALREADY AND I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING A REMASTERED ONE AJBDSFSKDFBJKSDFNS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMGGG
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
"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
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.
@@madelinemcmillan4020 Japanes VA is also nasally, ala shonen hero.
If that's his best work they should have found someone better, or get him a better voice director.
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.
I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to think of Nibelheim and Corel...
@@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
@@raidenakajacktheripper5988 well done; that was the joke. Cookie for you.
I mean, red Xlll still likes his hometown too, no?
@@axelvoss9653 Which is actually weird, didn't the Gongaga reactor explode? His parents might have survived, but he must have already been in SOLDIER
“No way he just ate my hair” best line after gongaga
Great editing. I think you’ve portrayed Zack very FAIRly
Good one 😂
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.
I got used to it but I still prefer the old VA
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.
@@SaberRexZealot You zuck
@@SaberRexZealot same with Sephiroth
Zack is the best and this remaster has made me love him even more
Also also, this is some top tier editing
@@charlieg4460 my sister tell you she love him too ❤

Couldn't have said it better myself.
This is why Zack is still one of my favorite characters in FFVII compilation.
no way he just ate my hair
You missed, “ShUt Up! i’M wArNiNg YoU!”
I think he did great and will love him even more with original lines in rebirth
1:06 I just realized that Zack in the FF7 remakes would be the POV character for the players confused of the plot.
as much as his new VA is lacking in the emotion department, the funny department is BUMPIN
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
@@conflictiontalks5188 Cringe is good
@@conflictiontalks5188 he's meant to be cringe in some points. Now Sephiroth? He sounds cringe through and through with that fake deep voice

yeah, i do not agree.
@@hulahupjingga so harassing his family and the man himself on his wedding picture is okay?

he will and always will be perfect
And a hero, always
Why hasn’t anyone made a compilation yet of the amount of times he said “come on, mannnn” I swear in every scene he said that at least once lol
You know, his new English VA may not be my favorite but damn is zack still so pretty to look at. 😍
Sephiroth's new VA ain't that good either
@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 😓
@@lola4lala12 you can tolerate it because you never heard Sephiroth speak before
@@Killer_Kool7 where doe? Seems tame comments on voice actor, but yes Sephiroth and Zack are bad replacement
@Z-Less-Runner_7 🤨 well I've listened to all 3 of his English voice actors at some point in my life so I would say have.
WOWOWOW, LOVE that it's a 1:1 recreation of the previous vid, but with the reunion cutscenes 😂
I LOVE the editing!!
Nice editing. I think Caleb's voice acting is fine too.
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
Aerith: So pretty.
