Description
Full-view, plz. As in, really.[edit] Well. So. In all fairness, having watched most of the cut-scenes with Vexen now, I shall admit it's not as bad as I first feared. The rubber-face is still... odd, and half the time his voice is horrid, but when pissed enough he sounds quite alright... And his 3D rendered self is downright gorgeous. Oh, so gorgeous...
-----
Original description:
That's supposed to be Nomura, there. And a random panel of Square-Enix decision-makers. And all the newly 3D-rendered CoM characters. Oh, and all my heartfelt cynicism and bitterness.
Inspired, of course, by the trailer for KHIIFM & Re:CoM ... Which was very, very pretty indeed. All sparkly and shiny and the voices kicked ass and... ... wtf?
Right. But I'm not bitter. X3
This is therapy. I still hope Vexen will get to have more dignity in the actual game, because man... what we saw in the trailer was not the Vexen I've grown to cherish and love.
I'm going through a lot of trouble to import your game and give you my money, Square - don't disappoint me now. Hell hath no fury like a fangirl scorned. u.u

My gawd, the Vexen parts SLAY me! But yeah, his voice actor is the same guy who did Professor Hojo in the FFVII compilation so I guess Square's like "let's have the same guy voice ALL of our mad scientists!"

I know. Stupid Squenix. Vexen is not at all like Hojo - or at least he wasn't until the remake. -_-

Well, apparently from what we've seen in the preview, Tetsuya designed Vexen to be akin to Hojo (although a lot less insane in comparison). I don't know; when I was playing the original CoM, I had imagined Hojo's voice coming out of Vexen because they're both evil scientists and the like. Guess Square slapped that stereotype on me with FFVII.

Having played through Re:CoM, I can thankfully say he's not quite as twitchy all the time... But enough to make it annoying. And I just can't stand that voice, it sounds horrible.
I liked him best in the Japanese version of the original CoM. His sprites look aloof and collected, and his voice is perfectly fine from what you can hear in the battles. Since then... things just went downhill. And we are not amused. -_-

Hehe, I love this comic.
I first found it on somebody's website, with no credit to you >.> I saved the comic in the hopes I could match it one day, and then I found the Roses Are Red video. So glad I found the origional artwork. <3
And as for your other deviations, 411 = LOVE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

You wouldn't happen to remember the link to that website? It's nice people like my art, but I do want credit if they display it on their own sites...
And yes, 411 is love indeed. It's lovely how widespread it has become since I first set out. XD

Vexen's eyes were so pretty in the original game. I just don't understand why they had to ruin his character so for the remake. ;_;

Yeah dude.
I mean it's not like big eyes work for EVERYTHING. Sure, make them on all chibi's but Vexen looks like he swallows bags of cocaine everyday.

Yeah.
You get used to it (meaning it stops grinding your ear drums after three seconds), but I still hate it. Hojo voice+Vexen=No.
His eyes, however... -stares into them more- Such beautiful eyes...

silvestris In reply to ManicDysfunction [2007-05-14 22:45:51 +0000 UTC]
I don't really agree - in some scenes you easily get used to it - most of the basement-scenes with Zexion and Lexaeus, or when he's talking to Marluxia for example. But every time he talks to the heroes/Replica/Axel or Larxene he sounds horrible. Not to mention the battles. You're reluctant to hit him because he sounds so horrible... DX
But oh, well. It could have been worse, I guess. Maybe. :/

Vexen suffered so much and never gets respected. And now his very own creators are downgrading him!!! OMG!!!
*shoots random Vexen haters*
*puts a virus in anit-Vexen fansites*
*drives a car through Square-Enix's building (killing no one)*
Why dosen't anyone like Vexen!!!
He literally begged for his life in front of that *garggles some very nast stuff* murder Axel!!!
And now Square-Enix had just decided "Oh let's go and make Vexen twitchy when he talks and make him slur his words!!!
Vexen gets no love .
Anyways, this made me giggle a lot.
Great job.
*hugs Vexen*

Poor poor Vexen indeed, no respect from anymore. ... Least of all his fans, I sometimes suspect. But that's okay, we torment him out of love. XD
Actually from what I've seen so far of the cut-scenes, it is isn't quite as bad as I feared. He only sounds crazy when talking down to people beneath him - when pissed or talking to Marluxia, his voice is quite alright.
And his 3D-model is so gorgeous, twitching aside...

Imploded him in flames without giving him a chance of screaming.

I'm still not sure whether I like the new or old version of that scene better... They're both so horrible and cruel. Though admittedly being burned alive probably tops getting sliced in half. Especially for an ice-elemental...
