i definately prefer the english voices as vincents in the jap version in my opinion was too deep voiced and marlene was really squeaky lol but yeah they are both good and even though the english sephy was good the jap one was better!

I only got the english DVD and watched it in japanese with english subtitles. I guess cos I figured that was how it was meant to be and therefore may be better. I like reading subtitles anyway I manage to kinda scan read them very quickly so it's cool. Maybe I'll watch it in english one time, probably not though.

I don't go for this "How it's meant to be watched" reasoning. It was meant to be understood and not read.

I've only watched the English dub, mostly because I'm lazy and don't typically watch things with subtitles unless the english dub is absolutely horrible. I'll probably watch it in Japanese at some point, but the English dub was pretty well done overall. The villains did sound pretty lame, now that I think about it.

It was meant to be understood, yes, and I can personally understand written English better than spoken, which is also one of the reasons I prefer the subtitles.

Of course, this pretty much applies only to those who don't have English as their mother tongue.

the japenese was best. if you noticed, most of the US actors were soap opera actors (no lie). so... they are already kinda fake.

dilly dally shilly shally? I'd rather hear "Zururururururu" all day long.

and when Tifa was 'fussing' at cloud, she sounded like she was uncomfortable.
