Yeah I noticed that too, what's the deal with that?

The voice acting seemed decent to me, although for some reason a select few have Australian accents. The game looks great, I just worry it's going to be set in a really futuristic world. I wouldn't exactly be a big fan of it.
I hope it's NPC chatter personally, it would seem more realistic to overhear what NPC's are talking about among themselves and would help to give the world a lot of depth.
I thought it was fairly obviously character/NPC chatter. You can, after all, see the character icons during the comments. Lightning is making the first one we see "No comments about the scenery", and the comment "If they trap us in here, we're dead" is also made by a character (don't know his name, but the little blonde kid). The other comments "Pulse has been trying to invade Cocoon for ages, huh?" and "Carbuncle's so adorable, I want to get the plushie" would be NPC chatter, which is why the "Talk" button appears, so that you can hold a conversation with the NPC who made the comment.

That's how I saw it, anyway.
