The average Hollywood movie lasts from 1 to 2 hours. Splice together all the cutscenes from Ashura’s Wrath and you get nearly 5 HOURS. And if you consider the work involved in voice acting and the number of decisions a player can make, I think, personally that in games such as AW which have extensive CG and cutscenes, the VA cast deserves a lot of respect.

Also, it’s interesting when you do a bit of research and find out what other character’s the VAs do. Ashura, for example, also voiced Sado from Bleach, Elfman from Fairy Tail and Guile from SFIV.

Yasha also voiced Grimmjow in Bleach, Freed in Fairy Tail, Vega (Balrog) in SFIV, Archer in Fate/Stay Night, Escher in Chaos Rings (which I played to death on my TF101), and surprisingly (and creepily), he also voiced Undertaker from Kuroshitsuji.

Notice something? The main two characters both voiced characters from Bleach, Fairy Tail and SFIV.
