A mod for the originalFinal Fantasy 7that adds full voice acting to the game is set to release today after seven years of work. Tsunamods’ Echo-S 7 mod has actors from around the world voicing every character in Final Fantasy 7, including the battle barks. You can see a trailer of the mod in action below, but if you’re watching in the office on your lunch break then be aware that there’s a fair few cuss words in it.Final Fantasy 7 - Echo-S Official Release TrailerThe Echo-S 7 mod for Final Fantasy 7 adds anime-style voice acting to the original game.Watch on YouTubeTsunamods say they’ve retranslated the Japanese script for FF7. Some of the dialogue has been adjusted to “sound more human” so it doesn’t seem like the actors are just reading a text box aloud. The team working on the project created the mod in their own free time, streaming some of the process onTwitch. With the completion of their Final Fantasy 7 mod, Tsunamods are now moving on to work on voicingFinal Fantasy8 andFinal Fantasy 9.Your mileage may vary, but I’ve got to admit that this is entirely the kind of voice-over that I imagine would have worked for the original version of Final Fantasy 7 from 26 years ago. Remember, that’s just a year afterResident Evilwas released, with its magnificently B-movie voice acting. We live in the third decade of the 21st century, when FF7 is being remade in three parts like it’s The Lord Of The Rings. Yes, the original was a good game, but this mod strikes just the right balance of Nineties nostalgia that I’m kind of digging it.If you’re interested in giving the mod a go then you can find it over at the Tsunamods sitehere. What do you think of a fully voiced Final Fantasy 7?
