How much do I love that Dissidia!Zidane's taunt (or one of them, at least) is 'osoi yo!' Could be translated as 'too slow!' or 'you're late!' I haven't listened to the English (I'm sure it will break my heart), but I'll bet it's translated as "You're too slow!" with a horrible Bronx accent. XD

How did I not know that Paku Romi voiced him? Zidane just got even more wonderful, how can this be? 8DDD
And yeah, I have always thought Zidane seemed more mature than the others, though he is younger--if I remember correctly, his canon age is sixteen, though I may have forgotten. He's the only FF hero of the Playstation/Playstation 2 era that I can think of who keeps his chin up and gets through things with good humor and good grace, remaining an inspirational help to his party even in the rough times, instead of wallowing in an emo bucket with his emo self until I wanted to kick him in the shins.
(Well, okay, he did go off and sulk and possibly get drunk when Garnet was whisked off to be queen, but nothing dangerous was happening at the time that he knew of, and he sobered up and went to be there for her anyway when she needed him. XD)

Zidane vs. Squall (fight)(Japanese)
In both of these the players are fighting on Zidane's 'home' battlefield, and the music is FF9's bossfight battle music. ♥ You can hear Paku Romi voicing him, obviously. I think during his limit break trance attack, Zidane says 'I'm not weak!' and something about a perfect combo but I'm not sure about that.
He's the only FF hero of the Playstation/Playstation 2 era that I can think of who keeps his chin up THIS. This explains why I always thought Zidane was pretty mature/older! Now that I think about it, I realize that out of Squall, Cloud, Zidane, and Tidus, Zidane has led the least sheltered childhood which might explain his maturity level, but I love that he's not going to angst on the road.

Zidane is far and away my favorite FF hero and FFIX is far and away my favorite game in the series. He's the only one of the boys I could take out for a night on the town and expect to have a fantastic time. ♥
(You know, that honestly applies to the entire cast. Have I ever mentioned that, thanks to Guardian's fic, Freya is now and forever voiced in my head by Emma Thompson?)

"You realize," Tifa says, rolling her eyes, "I have heard every pickup line under the sun here?" Then she smiles, somewhere between a threat and a laugh. "And I'm my own bouncer ( ... )

Have you written anything else with Zidane in it? I love your voice for him.

Only two things: my dream fic for Zidane is actually some epic Treno adventure where he and some of the Tantalus crew rob a rich guy and get into all sorts of crazy antics. But I have to replay the beginning of the game to nail Blank's voice for that (oh the agony) and anyway, what I have written is:
The Art of Napping - for a meme where I was asked to write about Zidane and napping (no actual dialogue).
heads or tails - in which Squall meets Zidane in the dissidia!universe, which I whipped up about two hours ago. Uh. Tails are awesome lol ?
