Embrace your dreams. And whatever happens, protect your honor...as SOLDIER!

It’s crazy how much a voice can change a character. All the lines are the same but he feels like a completely different person.

[Kayleenv]

I absolutely miss the original voice actor for Zack, his voice was so reassuring and strong. The new voice actor just isn’t Zack

[Pca]

I think we all loved Zack because he not only was confident (which sometimes can lead to being annoying and arrogant) but he was kind and wanted to be good with everyone, he was a team worker, didn't want all the praise for himself, but for his friends too. There is a lot to admire and to aspire to be in Zack.

I haven't played Crisis Core but based off of the clips shown, my takeaway is:

Rick Gomez feels like he's in the zone and enjoying what he's doing.

Caleb Pierce sounds like he's just reading words off the paper and reciting them, not acting out a scene.

[Belagu]

Anytime I wanted to give up and call it quits, I just thought of Zack. This make me feel much better.

[hopeestheim]

I miss Rick Gomez he did great job as Zack Fair

OG Zack flirting with Aerith at the park is 😳
New Zack flirting with Aerith at the park is 🤓

9:21 Zack is my favorite video game character too along with Dante/Vergil it’s just not same without Rick Gomez voice I’m hoping the voice actor for Dante Reuben Langdon didn’t actually get replaced for the new Dmc anime or future games

I really appreciate your heart to heart at the end. I was going through a tough time in my life with lots of surgery, my gf gave me her PSP with Crisis Core. I cried like a baby at the end, because Zack never gives up. So I can't either.

[Carlisho]

Out of all the characters that Square had to get the new voice right, it was Zack, and they bombed it. Whats frustrating is that we complained about the new voice since the 7Remake ending, they had plenty of time to make it right… yet they didnt.

[whooah]

I have to say i definitely love "AWESOOOME! WE'RE GONNA FAIL!" line change. Made me laugh out loud

[hopefaith]

One thing I do like in that inn scene is that the OG voice did great at making Zack’s voice sound like he is on the bed (like what posture Zack is in affects how his voice sounds like)

[DJ_LilPaycheck]

It's amazing how much a voice can entirely change a character

[thogameskanaal]

Fans: “By the way, ... do you know Rick Gomez?”
Nomura: “Sort of...”
Fans: “Talked to him?”
Nomura: “No.”
Fans “Shouldn't you do something?”
Nomura: ”No.”

[TwilightKeon]

I am going to put this as simple as I can.

Rick Gomez feels like he's living as the character. Just about every line he says I can totally believe that's him as the character he breathes life into them.

Caleb other hand sounds like he's reading directly from a script and doesn't put any real emotion into his lines.

[aboutschween]

post-rebirth now... caleb's performance (at least in my eyes) has improved MULTITUDES. i think some of the weirdness might have to be very much on the voice director's part. caleb shined in Rebirth— it might have been because of Reunion that his performance got so much better— but either way i WISH that Reunion's Zack sounded as good as Rebirth's.

[KAIsibs]

4:45 These are probably the only voice line change i’m okay with. Plus, the way caleb delivers it makes me laugh a little

[sukanya]

"The prize of old VA is steep." -s.e probably

[Delacroif]

Well said! I totally agree with you. I wish Square Enix would release a DLC with the original voices. That would be perfect. The new fans would see a huge difference with Zack and why he is so loved!
