Nope, they're the same. Luke has a different voice actor in PAL versions of the games though. Have you by any chance imported them? (it says you live in Canada)

Is it me, or did Flora's voice actor change? She sounds like a little baby.

I've spent 20 hours playing it, and I still haven't beaten it. I'm really close to the end, though. And I've still got some parrot-delivery-things to do.
So far, I can safely state that this game has the series' best voice-acting. The old voices were clearer, and better directed than ever. And every single one of the new voices were well performed, specially, in my opinion, Dr. "Stahngun" and Claire. However, I was slightly annoyed by Flora's new voice. And personality. She was either a bitch, or a spoiled brat.
I think that what made a difference with voices this time around wasn't just the choice, but the directing and overall production. The acting was specially well performed; so much that they could have taken, say, DB-Flora's voice actress, and achieved a great Flora.
Unless the ending sucks, and I'm sure it won't, Unwound Future is defintely the best Layton game to date.
I don't know if I missed anything I wanted to post, it's just too much. BRB gotta go beat it.
@peter2201: Yes it was. And glad to know I wasn't the only one to think that.
EDIT: Also have a hilarious commercial the lot of you.

No, I have the NTSC version. Both of their voices sound... aged. Yeah, I get that it's been a while since the last game, but the difference just seems too much.

AAAH APART FROM THE PARROT/CAR MINIGAMES I HAVE EVERY EFFING PUZZLE IN THIS GAME EXCEPT FOR 148. I'M GOING TO KILL SOMETHING.
(Spoiler-freeness :3) I didn't really feel that the second "third" of the game was slow, rather that it was too linear. Both the first and second games gave ample time for exploring. IMO, they should've just had an EXPLORE THE FUTURE chapter which would have included everything. At least they didn't make you hunt for random pieces of a ripped-up picture.
Also, no offence but twenty hours? I wrung about 13 out of the storyline, and I've spent another two hours bouncing around that effing parrot and driving the minicar off the board (AND TRYING TO FIND PUZZLE 148).
Also THAT TRAILER IS AWESOME. And is that Sheldon (Big Bang Theory) I see as Layton? In my head, I've always seen Layton as a younger Stephen Fry XD
Also also, there was a HUGE decrease in the number of slot puzzles which I am overly grateful to the Puzzle God for.
They don't :c

Best Layton Ever indeed. 4.75 starts out of 5, or 9.8 out of 10. It would be a perfect score, if it weren't for the awfully off-putting middle part.
And the fact that I now can't wait for Specter's Flute.
@GP: I noticed that they were a bit aged, yes, but I didn't think they sounded like different voice actors.
Might have been because I had to close my DS and let it there for hours a couple of times, when I sadly needed to satisfy my basic natural needs (food, bath), but it took me 24 hours overall. Now that I think about it, I seemed to add up 5 hours for every day I played, and I never got to play that much. I guess it should have taken around 14, if we don't count those pauses, and that is counting Toy Car, Picture Book and Parrot mini-games.
You know, I though the exact same thing when I saw it. Both the AWESOME and Sheldon parts.
If that is indeed Jim Parsons (Sheldon's actor), then that commercial can't get better. And according to some sites, it is him. Ah Nintendo, I love you so.

On another note, Layton's Chinatown had me doubled up laughing. I went to RL Chinatown yesterday and, apart from being a little more crowded and a lot more grungy, the accuracy was impeccable XD

YES!
The parrot minigame is so annoying and the physics so BLARG! I look at some of the solutions and I just feel stupefied.
Why couldn't they do the ORIGINAL parrot game from the JP version (even though it would take a lot of translator muscle to do so)?

I love the parrot minigame. D= I find it entertaining watching the fat little bird bounce around and fall to his demise.
And I heard the japanese parrot game dealt with teaching him new words or something. Does anyone have a link to a video that shows the Japanese parrot game? I just want to see what it's like.

The Parrot game is the only thing that is keeping me from 100%-ing the game, but I've given up on it. I think I'm missing just 3 or 4, but they are unnecessarily complicated and annoying. I'm going to look for a walkthrough just so I can beat The Messenger's and the Puzzle Master's Houses. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't even bother.

You mean height? If so, probably, but it doesn't bother anyone. Now, if it were 1000 pixels tall, then I wouldn't use it.
If you don't mean height, I don't know what you could mean.
EDIT: OH I KNOW. It's because of the new layout. I'm using the old wine-colored one, which makes my sig look as it should, like this:
On-topic, does anyone know if Mask of Miracles was mentioned during TGS 2010? It isn't strange that it doesn't have a release date, considering it's a 3DS game, but it still doesn't even have a trailer...

"Now, Luke, a gentleman doesn't go accusing people like that. You see, my boy, the main character there is a teenage magician, his assistant a young lady, and they go around solving... er, beating minigames."
"But they have animated cutscenes!"
"It is a visually superb style of presentation for any video game."
"And a Don Paolo-style bad guy, and-"
"You're not making this any easier, Luke."
Who knew Konami would fall this low?

"Oh, Paul, you're not helping..."
If it wasn't a clear Layton ripoff, I would buy it, but if it gets released here, I'll play the rom only 'cause I have a magician fetish like you wouldn't believe. ... Maybe I've said too much.

Speaking of Layton clones, Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent is pretty good, and it's available on Steam and WiiWare. It was way too short though.
EDIT: Just watched the trailer for that game. I honestly don't mind it and I think you guys are taking the whole "ZOGM THEY RIPPED IT OFF!!11!" thing too far. Tons of shooters and JRPGs "borrow" ideas from each other but nobody seems to care.

Yeah, we probably are taking it too far
BUT IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO RAGE OVER
Anyhoo
I'm strongly considering going as Professor Layton for Halloween
...
or maybe Luke
Scratch that, I'm not short enough to be Luke, I'll go as Legal :D

Just in case anyone doubted we would get the rest of the Layton games.
You've watched the trailer and still think that?
This is not borrowing. "Layton" is not a genre, as shooters and JRPGs are. "Layton" is a completely original series of games.
And in any case, if it were "borrowing", it's not "borrowing" ideas from Layton. It's "borrowing" the series' sheer essence. This Zac and Ombra game has the same gameplay (replacing "puzzles" with "minigames"), the same animation style, and a peculiarly similar environment, the very same elements that made the Layton series the unique gaming gem we all love.
I repeat: this game is not borrowing ideas from Layton. It's stealing it's essence, in a sad attempt to get some sales from unaware Layton followers and casual gamers.
