    I think Fran's voice is ok, But I despise Vaan's voice. It is too IDK perky. Ashe can sound concieted at times, But come on you gotta think who she is. Penelo is ok too, I just don't like her quickenings, they weren't as "cool" as the others, Basch is cool to, I actually like his voice, But I can listen To Balthier ALL day, If need be.

    Basch's voice is great, IMO (Keith Ferguson). I can't believe he voices Bloo from Foster's! Balthier's is the best in my opinion.

    On subject: Fran's voice is original and intersting to say the least. It's cool.
    The only the certain is uncertainty.

    Fran's accent is Icelandic. I've a few Icelandic friends and they are almost identical to Fran while speaking in English.

    I wonder if the variation in the accents of the 3 sisters was on purpose or if voice director just assumed no one would spot the difference.

    Basch's voice actor caught me by surprise too. Man's got a lot of range.

    I love Ashe's voice. The right balance of "royal" (concieted) and sadness.

    Her voice is one of the very few reasons that I pick up the game when I do, and that's rare. She -sounds- like a bunny and it's wonderful.

    I wish *I* had an Icelandic accent.

    Fran needs more dialogue, Balthier's voice is smooth and sexy, but I'd rather listen to Fran do all the game mechanics explaination about Gambits & Party Guests and such...

    Well I just discovered an interesting tidbit concerning Nicole Fantl(Fran). I saw a debate on the FFXII.net forums concerning her nationality. Like here, most were sure she was Icelandic, but couldn't find any solid evidence that stated it. It seems I got really lucky, because I stumbled upon a link to a website for a play in Los Angeles that the actress is currently in and it had cast info. Her accent is hard to figure out because it's a mix of many. She's listed all the way at the bottom of that page:

    No wonder we all thought she sounded different from her sisters! XD
