typical rpg fan trap. I say "yes, I am saying that" and they say "LLOOOOLLL NO WAY FFXII HAS BEST VA EVAR OMG BASCH BALTHIER LOLLLLLLLL"
Naw man. You said that FF shouldn't be held as a high standard for voice acting in rpgs, when FF12 has some pretty solid va. I'm not saying it has the best va ever, because it doesn't. But it definitely is a high standard within the localized efforts. Honestly, it's not the va that makes the localization so good either; it's the translation. But va is only the icing on the cake for me.
I don't see how it's a fan trap at all, especially when you ask "what's worse of the worse" and bring up a final fantasy title in the same sentence. Final Fantasy titles have a hell of a lot better voice acting than earlier efforts.
Have you played Grandia psx version? Or Jade Cocoon?
and it's just a bunch of anime voice actors doing what they do in every single show they're on. there's nothing special about it.
So would you prefer playing the game with Japanese voice actors or what?
