Donald Duck must be a really boring character in the Japanese Kingdom Hearts since he has a completely different voice actor?

Donald Duck has had more than one voice in the US and both voices are excellent. The Japanese Donald voice sounds fine to me. I agree with necromaniac on the X-Play segment that made fun of the Japanese voice. That was stupid. |

I know Donald has had two voice actors, I was wondering though whether they'd bother with his vocal style in the Japanese version and whether culturally Donald's voice would make any sense in Japanese.

I'm not bullshitting either.....long story though. Long story short it has to do with her staring at my crotch during a public appearance, and the two of us being very very shy. |

That's so BS it's not even funny, mich. Ok you got me.....but the part where she stared at my crotch was true. And I probably would have hit that if we did talk. |

I mentioned that there are two US Donald voice actors because I was trying to say that a different actor doesn't necessarily mean it will be a bad one. Also, I asked "where did you get that idea?" because I was wondering why you said straight up that the Japanese Donald Duck must be boring. Whether they kept Donald's vocal style or not was answered in the video (though watching it may give you extreme pain due to unfunny humor). It seems like they went with the same vocal style. As for how well it worked in Japan, I dunno. I do know that the VA is rather talented, though. |

Yep, definately talented. the Donald voice is always awesome.
The main reason I'd mention the VA'ing is you can get some really messed up VA in video games and I wanted to know whether they went the extra mile with Donald.

You people do realise that the Disney franchise is a little old, and that Disney cartoons are shown in almost every country on the face of the earth, and that Donald and the rest may just have had voice actors before Kingdom Hearts, right?

You people? I knew all along that there have been Disney VAs around the world before Kingdom Hearts. What I didn't know was how the VAs sounded like. I also don't know if they were as successful is Japan as they were in the US. I do know that Disney usually hires talented VAs, though. I also didn't know that kal thought the Japanese Donald voice was new to a video game. |

Essentially I didn't know if they'd get it done perfectly.
