My problem is the sheer difference, as if the dub and the choices made back in 2020 were entirely improvised or not planned out on it, and then they just had to deal with the consequences of such a choice. It's one thing to pretend you sound old, that tends have a fake roughness and attempt to be gruff and shit, but it's another when you can't even tell it's the same voice actor because the fake-old Red voice vs. the real teen Nanaki voice is so utterly different and completely jarring.
Not to mention, the original game's Japanese, if I remember right, did do the trick of changing formality to informality once the truth was out, but as others have said, it had no actual voices to distinguish this - and Red XIII in Advent Children didn't attempt this weird shit with a single line he got. It's one of those stylistic choices they did where it "makes sense" what they're doing but the execution was really, really bad. And teen voice Nanaki is incredibly grating anyway, too high pitched.
