Final Fantasy XIII English Voice Acting

A month of silence with zero post and the English Voice Acting frm Final Fantasy XIII broke it. Square Enix (SE) proudly bring us their new achievement..... English version trailer with some dreadful and up to par voice acting (VA), man i nvr expected any great English VA frm SE the first place....




They is an official trailer on SE site but guess most of you already seen the JP version few days ago. Overall it is still acceptable but i still notice that frm the trailer are some character arent really in the mood.

First we see Serah talking to Snow.... this part was OK but when Snow talk.... i was like OMG this dude sound really.... how to said.... not serious. It kind off spoil the mood there for me.

Then is Miss pig tail girl Vanile, her voice is like all those children cartoon u see in the early Sunday morning. I personally think it is the worse in the overall trailer.

Next is Mr. Lieutenant Yaag Rosch, oh this baddy sound bad in the first appearance in the trailer.... but later in the trailer was ok. His voice is quite unique and really works well as a baddie.

Overall it sound ok and acceptable, but then it is still not as good as the JP version. The best English Dub console game is still MGS for me. What those English dub game is lacking is not those 'A' class Holywood actors to voice over but is the lack of some serious Voice Acting Director to direct the whole thing, pls do it seriously like what the MGS series have done.
