	quote Lucrecia He sounds spanish! They need to find someone with a similar voice to Gackt! Or teach Gackt english lessons and get him to do it! Gackt doesn't need English classes. He speaks English better than the 'Spanish accent' guy. XD Plus, Gackt's got that 'deep, breathy' voice that really suits a character like Genesis. (Similar to Sephiroth's Japanese voice). It sounds better than an over-done cliche fake Dracula/Spanish accent. ------------------- FATAL FRAME IV FORUM ---> Add forum now! <-- Preview

	quote Gothic Girl Gackt doesn't need English classes. He speaks English better than the 'Spanish accent' guy. XD I guess that wouldn't be too hard though as that guy sucked! I havent heard him speak english much but I did see a clip where he was asking some guy how to you say this and that etc. quote Gothic Girl Plus, Gackt's got that 'deep, breathy' voice that really suits a character like Genesis. (Similar to Sephiroth's Japanese voice). Oh yeah I love his voice! It's so deep when he's speaking and when he's signing he can go as high or low as he wants! quote Neomancer Mike I liked all the voices in AC, except Cait Sith... I Especially liked Sephiroth and Vincents... Clouds was good too. I really liked Cait Siths voice in the english version! I thought it was cute! ------------------- 'You see... it's all part of the plan...'

	Yeah, the irish accent was cute, but I guess the fact that I didnt picture it that way in the game was the reason I didnt like it much... And I just had to mention that I really like Aurons voice in FF X. ------------------- The Child of Burning Time has gone, and hasn't come back ~

	It's a Scottish accent my friend. The Irish accent is a good bit different. (Irish lady here) Not saying that I don't like the scottish accent, in fact I love listening to a scottish person. Sean Connery for example! I think Cait Siths accent made me like him more! It's cute! I wanna here more of Gackt speaking english! ------------------- 'You see... it's all part of the plan...'

	quote Genesis sounds like hes from Transylvania... 'I ama going toa sucka your blooda!' That's because the English team for Dirge of Cerberus hired awful actors. Gackt has a distinct accent but at least it's not so fake-sounding and stereotypical. This video is from over five years ago, I'm pretty sure he's only gotten better since then. Genesis' dub wasn't as awful as Rosso's though. The English dub for her made me want to cry and turn off the game. quote Death Wish, Doomsday, Oasis, Mirror, White Eyes, Farewell, etc. etc. etc. try to convince me those aren't rock songs. quote yeah, that's all J-Pop, lots and lots and the "pop"....... I call BS. I bet you've never heard a single one of those songs, you just get off on acting like you're too cool for this. Feel free to prove otherwise. quote I don't want to even try convincing you of anything, you believe what you wanna believe... See above. I'd believe you if you actually put forth an intelligent argument, but it's easier for you to just make assumptions. quote I wrote that "Banned" above my avatar a long time ago, LauraOrganaSolo. Ahh. quote Gackt has some J-Rock songs, but also has J-Pop songs. Correct. Gackt insists on always trying something different. He has said something along the lines of churning out the same style of song over and over again leads to creative stagnation. quote Just in case all of the compilations get crap ratings, like DoCs almighty 2 and a half out of 10.. No one has given it a 2.5 out of 10 (although GamePro gave it a 2.5 out of 5), not according to GameRankings.com anyway and they list all the major AND minor game publishings. quote otherwise, people will start to remember FFVII as another failure of Squares Not going to happen. FFVII is one of the top selling games of all time in the US. But why would that matter, honestly? Who cares what other people think. It's annoying, yeah but that doesn't mean you enjoyed it any less. quote but I think the English voice-double with the transylvanian accent will. Welcome to five years ago when Final Fantasy X came out. It sucks a LOT and it's ridiculous for them to continue forcing it on American consumers (and frequently European consumers as well, although at least they got the multi-lingual FFX International) when Capcom has proven that people will buy two-disc PS2 games (What's up, Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams) and it won't kill the company's profit margin. I know for certain that I am not the only one who would be willing to pay extra money for language options. At least FFXII wasn't quite so atrocious as Dirge of Cerberus and FFX and FFX2 but it doesn't make up for them either. quote Although I do dislike the terming of anything as a "nazi" simply because I don't think anything people are doing on the intrawebz can actually compare to the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of people, so let's try to avoid that term in general, ok? I will keep that in mind in the future. Please allow me to clarify, however: nazism also entails a fanatical devotion to a person or ideal at the cost of all else (including logic), which was the context I was using it in. quote His pop music though isn't like the Backstreet Boys though. Quite correct. Japan has its own version of the Backstreet Boys only worse: Johnny's Entertainment is an entire record label devoted to churning out and mass-marketing band after band of cute, vapid boy bands. That is not Gackt. Gackt writes all of his own music, all of his own lyrics, and has produced half of his works (the other person responsible for production is his guitarist, who has been in Japan's rock industry since the 80s when rock took off in Japan). He doesn't play all of the instruments most of the time but he is capable of doing so and has proven this on Japanese TV shows. quote can I get a recomenation? I listen to Heavy-Death Metal, and do like the occasional acoustic song, to play on the guitar. Gackt might not be quite your thing because all of his albums are a mix of all different types of songs but as previously mentioned, you may enjoy "Diabolos" and "Crescent." I'd recommend looking up music by bands like Dir en Grey, Sex Machineguns, Boowy, and... I'll have to recommend some more when I have access to links with downloads when I'm home from work. Remember kids, bad English dubs are the devil's work. Edit: Yes, I have seen Moon Child. It's yakuza vampires in Taiwan in the future and all the campy John Woo-style gun fights that that implies. But it's also very heartfelt with thought-provoking no-black-and-white-only-shades-of-grey multi-dimensional characters and mixes comedy and tragedy in the way Japan does best (refer to 50% of anime). It's easy to come by if you live in the US, as most Blockbusters seem to have it for rent, or you can buy it for like $10 at Best Buy. I thought it was going to be the lamest, "how's my career" type movies ever but I was pleasantly surprised. Gackt plays a character drastically different from the persona he puts forth to the Japanese public and I think he does a good job at it. Taro Yamamoto, who is best known to Westerners as one of the main characters of Battle Royale, is in it and so is Beat Takeshi's friend and frequent co-worker, Susumu Terajima.

	Some hype by Insert Credit about Gackt in DoC http://www.insertcredit.com/archives/000734.html http://www.insertcredit.com/archives/000925.html I like these quotes quote Who cares, though?! Gackt is a sexy man from a man's perspective, and as a (sometimes frustrated) player of Final Fantasy games, I, for one, am glad to have him aboard. heheheheh! quote Before we get our hopes too high up, however, let us remember that Gackt has been disappointing fans very much recently, most recently (and relevantly) being when it was revealed that the voice actor for Vincent in "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children" wasn't him. His song for the new "Gundam" movie was dismissed as schlock even by his hardcore fanbase, that being chubby Japanese girls in maid outfits. "His lyrics are getting boring," says a girl I know on mixi (which is like Japan's MySpace, only with functionality; I hereby consider it as viable a news source as any). The girl, whose user icon depicts her cosplaying Alice in "Disney's Alice in Wonderland," goes on to say that Gackt needs to start "actually playing an electric guitar again" if she's going to buy another one of his albums. When asked about the game, she says, "I played it at the Square-Enix Party in July and it really sucked." Will she be buying it? "Of course! Did you see the photo of the costume Tetsuya Nomura designed for Gackt to wear? It looks bitching. I would wear it every day." ppl said Gackt was Vincent's VA in AC? quote In closing, yes, Gackt's song in Dirge of Cerberus is actually really good. It doesn't have the Really Irritating Two-minute Bridge In The Middle (TM Gackt 1999). It's got actual electric guitar and everything. We never stopped believing in you, Gackt -- except for those, uh, four years there. lol @ the sarcastic "we never stopped believing in you Gackt!"
