Snow, Sazh and Lightning are top notch. Hope pulls off the emo perfectly and Vanille is amazing....whoops, meant to say an annoying b****!

Not really voice acting but more scripting, but has anyone noticed that they seem to say different things as they level up? I'm hearing far less moaning these days and far more "Take that!" and "Ah-ha!" from Vanille lately. I think Sahz has said a few different things too, as has Snow.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Only recently has Fang started to say different things for me. Maybe it's a strange coincidence though.
And now Vanille constantly says something that I can't make out and I hate it. Danielle and I have been trying to figure it out for a while now. Urgh it's annoying when you don't know what they're saying!

That's why you turn on Sub-titles.
EDIT: Unless you mean in battle. If you can't understand what she's saying then it's probably an orgasm, so don't worry.
Don't work in battles, do they?

Oops ... I edited.
It's definitely not an orgasm. It sounds like something to do with her miniskirt or... yeah, I don't even know.

When Vanille summons Hecatoncheir, she screams like she's dying at one point. And the sounds she makes throughout battles is annoying! Why would they do this to such an awesome character?
She seems to have gone back to making the moaning and groaning noises now that I've endgame spoilercompleted the game and then teleported back to Edenhall. This makes me think it's location dependant. But yeah, during endgame in (SPOILER)Pulse I've found she says "I've got to see this through!" or something like that instead. No moaning there! Just in Edenhall. I forgot how annoying it was. =|

I personally think Vanille's grunting sounds more like one of those Eastern European female tennis players. However, if you use Vanille's Eidolon's final move, she's clearly depicted as having an orgasm.
And when it gets dimissed afterwards, her body language is one of post-sex contentment IMO.
The final voice acting...
doesn't thrill me.
Apparently Square went to Australia and used all Aussies.
Not against Aussies but it seems silly and sort sighted to me.
I actually prefer the voices used in the earlier trailers to those they used in the actual game.
Ahh so Fang and Vanille's VAs are Australian. That explains why I thought it was a really shoddy attempt at British English
I also kept thinking "Fang, stop saying Cheers so much. We do say Thanks once in a while too" - but from an Australian context it makes a lot more sense. And Vanille's sounded very "well spoken" at times like RP English or something.
I really am no good at telling what people's accents are.
Well generally I thought the voice acting in this game was excellent (both this and XII were a long way ahead of the lead characters of X in that department). My only annoyance is probably scripting, and that's (as mentioned in the thread) Vanille's noises. I didn't think it needed all the "oooooooo-----wah!" during battle, it was like nails on a blackboard to me. Didn't sound like an orgasm either, more like some sort of retarded attempt at communicating with a cat.

I love the VA in this game. All the main characters are casted so well.
They're all pretty good to me. Vanille is my least favorite, but I'm hardly alone in that. I like Sahz and Fang the best, honestly. Though that's most likely because within all the terrible dialogue they tend to say the least dumb things.
