Does the voice of Sakura in episode 2. =[

For those who don't know (but most probably do), Tara Stong is the VA of ff10's Rikku, and Bubbles from the PowerPuff girls. As well as Batgirl. Teen Titan's Raven, and Xiaolin Showdown's Omi.

I'm just rather disappointed they threw away many of the decent voice actresses they had in episode one, got a load of bad ones for some of the main characters(Momo, KOSMOS, Shion)and then took in an expensive person like Tara Strong for a side character that hardly ever speaks. They could have used that money on more important things. xD;

Assuming they did pay a lot for her. Which they mightn't have. But it's more than likely that they did.

Opinions?

The thing I find most supprising about that is that considering her resume you'd think she'd have managed to pull off Sakura much more effectively than she did. I still miss all of the old voice actors for the US version. I doubt they'll switch back though, it's an unfortuante loss..

That's odd. I love Tara Strong, though. 3nodding

KOS-MOS' voice in Episode 1 felt very robotic and efficient, but she sounds like a mechanized school girl in Episode 2.

And I relatively hated both of the voices for Shion, as she wanked too much in both series. gonk

And MOMO hurt my ears. sad

Depressing. Silly Namco, those aren't the right English people to hire!

O_o bum....calm down.


I didn't know that Tara Strong did Sakura's voice. Hmm. It didn't seem that memorable a performance, though. >_> Cuz I don't remember how she sounds. o_o; As Sakura. Um yeah...

In my opinion, Tara Strong didn't do *nearly* as good as she could've done on Sakura's voice. It wasn't--as Mileia said--nearly as memorable as it could've been. I can't even remember her voice.

Namco screwed up. Screwed up bad. 3nodding

KOS-MOS's voice actress was hideous for the second game. She sounded like a teenager. I liked her much better in the first.

The character designs were better for some people in the first and worse for others. Personally I thought Shion looked way better in the second, as did MOMO. I liked KOSMOS better in the first.

Chaos just looked retarded in both of them.
(HINT: I HATE THAT CHARACTER.)

So she did Sakura?
Cool!
I really like Tara's voice for Rikku, and I had no clue she did Omi of all characters!
Cool!

Oh, I did not like the new main actresses for KOS-MOS, Shion, and MOMO in the second game. I hope they find better ones for ep 3 though they sounded the same in a trailer I saw.

Really made me unhappy to hear chaos's new voice in ep II. His in ep I was great, but II was... disapointing.

As long as Richard Epcar is still in there somewhere, I'll be content...
...
Actually, no I won't... I like MOMO's and KOS-MOS' old voices better too. Oh well, I guess they could have been a LOT worse...
