** Alphonse's voice in the second anime is actually playing this much straighter when you take into account the [[TheReveal revelation]] that [[spoiler:Al's real body is intact, connected to his armor-bound soul, and continuing to grow]] yet his voice remained the same.

** In "Once Upon a Swap", when Eda performs a body swawp spell on herself, Luz, and King, they still speak with their own voices, [[EyesAreMental as well as have changes in their facial features]]. The same goes for other characters who end up swapped later in the episode. Interestingly, when they are changed back, they are wearing the same things they wore in the other's body, suggesting that the spell might not have switched the minds so much as transformed their bodies.
