I have emailed the creator multiple times to ask whether he can remove the lines or give proper credit, as I never gave permission to use these lines. The dialogue is not a big focus in the game, but the fact still stands that he likely stole these lines and claims them as his own. However, the only difference between my script and the game’s is the omission of “Hmm? Of course”, as the order of the lines and Japanese translations are identical. Now, I realize that there is some miniscule possibility that the creator of the game came up with these lines because they’re typical yandere lines. I’ve been watching you sleep so peacefully… Hmm? Of course I’ve been here this whole time. … You’ve been asleep here for a few hours already. You can’t really tell from this room, but it’s night now. Good morning… or I guess I should say “good evening.”
The following lines are nearly identical between the game and my script. Imagine my surprise as I found that the first few lines of antagonist’s dialogue in the opening cutscene are lines and translations that are almost the same word-for-word from my script “ Are You Awake Yet?“. I was watching a video of the new Alpha 2.0 gameplay of the very popular game “Saiko no Sutoka”. This is not one of my normal posts, but a recent event has peeved me. I can only hope that a certain person doesn’t have to deal with anyone with a much larger following stomping all over his work and claiming it as their own. I don’t think there is a single creative person, whether they’re an artist or a writer, who is perfectly fine with their work being used while they’re uncredited, especially as a small creator. I do not enjoy being taken advantage of, and I feel sorry for all the voice actors in the online Japanese voice acting community who were actually being decent human beings and crediting me fairly as a scriptwriter and translator. It doesn’t seem like it was that hard to change it since the subtitles and voiced lines were changed within a week, so why wasn’t it done earlier?Īnyways, I’m keeping all my scripts besides the one that was plagiarized private. When it's time for FF7 Remake’s Tifa, changed from her original, to fight, Ayumi shifts her character’s voice to a slightly deeper, serious version emulating a capable martial arts fighter who’s willing to do anything to protect her friends.And now that you’ve seen some evidence, read here for all of the instances of plagiarism because there were a lot more than just my script.Įven though my script has finally be removed from the game as of the Alpha 2.1.2 release, I’m keeping the evidence here. She’s perfect at showing Tifa’s caring supportive side, often coming off as a strong protective figure ready to offer her optimism whenever the party is at its lowest. She carries her wealth of experience portraying Tifa over the years to Final Fantasy 7 Remake in order to bring her character to life in a way fans have always dreamed of. Toshiyuki was a perfect choice for casting in this role and it’s hard to picture anyone else playing Final Fantasy 7’s biggest threat so well.Īyumi Ito has been the voice of Tifa Lockhart since 2005’s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Toshiyuki’s version of FF7 Remake's villain Sephiroth makes him sound threatening and unpredictable, coming off like a man in complete control, whereas Cloud is less a threat and more of a toy to be manipulated. He’s known for having a deep voice, and it fits perfectly with Sephiroth’s imposing character.
ENGLISH TO JAPANESE WITH VOICE SERIES
His Japanese voice actor is none other than Toshiyuki Morikawa, famous for playing the demon sorcerer Naraku in the acclaimed anime series Inuyasha. Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s main villain Sephiroth is only hinted at in the original Final Fantasy 7 for PS1, but the developers decided to add more scenes into the remake to give the character an ominous presence earlier in the story.
