Kain is possibly the ONLY character who sounds sexier in english than in Japanese (and Koichi Yamadera wasn't half bad) IMO. It's weird...in english a lot of the cast is incredibly lulzy particularly in their battle quotes (mondegreen, anyone?) whilst in Japanese everyone is somewhat more sophisticated. I love both versions since the Japanese is the original director's intention for how the characters sound and act whilst the English version is just hilarious. I mean who doesn't love it when the villains break out the HAAAAAAAMMMM!!!?
I've heard a bit about the Gabranth accent slippage theory and I'd like to hear your views. (I miss the terribly sporadic cockney that went around masquerading itself as RP...it was so silly...)
I won't be happy until the entire cast of Dissidia is mooglefied
