General Discussion / A question on Reno of the Turks.
« on: 2019-10-11 00:17:22 »
Hey there. I'm new here.
I'm curious about Reno's personality in JP FF7 compared with US FF7. Looking over FF7 recently and comparing how it had Reno compared with the Compilation, it's jarring how he seems more...serious business? Like, he's not loud mouthed or hyper. He's comic relief, but from what I can tell his humor came from how he acted more or less like a salaryman who just so happened to be a corporate hitman. Not really from slapstick or acting like a fool.
Thing is, I've heard reports now and then that Reno in FF7's JP version was sillier than in Eng version. More or less saying he was more akin to how he was in Advent Children. I doubted this since FF7 had no problem showing how animated characters like Don Corneo were, so if Reno was supposed to be more in their style then the game would've done so.
What's the deal?
