Kingdom Hearts II voices in final mix

hi
i'm kinda new here so I hope I post this in the right category
but anyway I was wondering about the final mix
because it has an english voicecast and japanese subtitels right?
so how come the cutscenes here on kh-vids.net are with japanese voices?

 

It's because they are the new cutscenes which have no english voice acting.

 

you mean it's english and japanese voives mixed in one game?

 

Well, you can re-view certain scenes in english and japanese, or so I've heard. I've also heard that while playing the game the new scenes don't have any voices.

 

The new cutscenes don't have any voices when you view them in-game. However, there's a special Theater mode that allows you to go back and view any cutscenes you've viewed throughout the game. You'll have your choice of either listening to them in English or Japanese voice acting. However, viewing the new cutscenes in this manner will only have voices if you hear it via Japanese voices. Trying to view the same cutscenes in English will only be mute due to the English VAs never being hired to do Final Mix. The sound effects will still be heard, though.

 

ah kay thanks
btw does this only count for KHIIfinalmix or also for KHfinalmix?

 

KH:FM didn't have Japanese voice acting in its additional cutscenes. It was pretty much mute, except for the Xemnas cutscene where they just added Sora's pre-recorded English lines.

KH2:FM+ was intended to become international, but Square Enix got lazy and made it Japan-exclusive only. Most likely because they didn't see a point in re-releasing an already popular game outside of Japan. (Much to the dismay of KH fans who can't read Japanese)
