A number of people are saying that it's for the soundtrack, but unless I'm mistaken, weren't the only vocal songs Eyes on Me, Liberi Fatali, and Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec, none of which had regional variations? ie Eyes on Me was in English by Faye Wong in all regions.



Granted it is likely that they are doing new localized versions of the theme song, since "Eyes on Me" has been left out of international digital releases of the Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack.



But it seems possible that they will do actual voiceovers for the remaster, since they've done as much for the Mana remakes. (I know those are proper remakes and not remasters, but still.)
