Thread: Favorite and Least Favorite Voices?

  1. #1

    Default Favorite and Least Favorite Voices?

    Well I did it for FFX. Might as well do it for the game with better voice-acting.

    1a.Of the main cast, who had your favorite voice?
    1b. Least favorite of the main cast?

    2a. Of the side characters and antagonists, who had your favorite voice?
    2b. Least favorite?

    Fran, her voice hit the right notes at all the right times
    Ashe, for some reason her VA gave her so many gasps it made me want rip my ears off

    Docter Cid, exactly what i expected, his voice suited his role
    Larsa, his voice suited a 9 year old Larsa, not a 13 year old

    Fran; she has a cool voice!
    Ashe; too many weird gasps -__-

    Am I the only one that consider all the voices weird? Two things stand out the most in this game, the weird voices and the advanced english

    If I was to pick a favorive voice though that would probably be Pinelo's, she's got a cute voice though nothing really special.

    Balthier, it was good a voice.

    1b. Least favorite of the main cast?
    Fran, I didn't like the accent. Guess I'm all alone :c

    2a. Of the side characters and antagonists, who had your favorite voice?
    Gilgamesh, he's freaking Bender.

    2b. Least favorite?
    Larsa, his voice is part of the reason I thought he was a girl.

    This was an overall very well acted game.

    Balthier and Dr. Cid really shined. Ashe, Vayne, Basch and Gabranth stood out as well.

    I can't really think of one that was truly awful, but there was an issue with the recording for Vaan and Penello. Their voices weren't "bad" per se (especially not Penello), but they were talking too close to the mic or something.

    I honestly can't think of a single voice I didn't like. FFXII probably had the best voice acting in the series.

    I would be really weirded out if a girl that age sounded like what could be a full grown woman xD

    All the Viera had excellent voices. They had that mysterious timbre about them. Out of them all I liked Mjrn the most, since she sounded the youngest.
    As for the least favourite I guess it was Penelo. She sounded like she had the worse "flu" out of all the characters.
    As for npcs I hated the Occurian voices the most which sounded like they had jelly stuck on their teeth.

    The acting is great, but some of the voices are annoying but I think that might have a lot to do with the characters and not the actor/actress' that lent their voices. Vann makes me cringe, but I don't blame the voice actor for a handling a poorly handled character. As for advanced english comment above...I think that was intended and it works well in Ivalice. I love listening to Ondore IV, or whatever the narrators name is. The voices fit the atmosphere and I think it's all really well done.

    1a.Of the main cast, who had your favorite voice?
    Probably Balthier, he's got quite a charming voice.
    1b. Least favorite of the main cast?
    Probably Fran, they butchered her voice so bad it hurts.

    2a. Of the side characters and antagonists, who had your favorite voice?
    Gabranth (however you spell his name)
    2b. Least favorite?
    I can't really say, maybe the old man who always chokes and coughs?

    mjrn had a neat accent too
    montblanc- because he DIDNT have any speaking, nor did any of the moogles. So sad

    1a. Basch
    1b. Vaan

    2a. Al-Cid
    2b. There really weren't any other character voices i didn't really like, but if I had to pick one, I would say Venat because I don't think it sounded evil enough, maybe that's just me though.

    Bash, Ashe and Balthier were my favs. Vaan and Fran (though I loved her look) were kind of annoying.
