Why is Vanille Hated for Her Australian Accent?

[Yliette]

I can understand if some people find her childish (and sometimes nonsense) mannerisms annoying but some just despise her Australian accent.

I just can't help but think it's quite racist. Not that I'm accusing anyone of being racist but I'm simply expressing my opinions on this matter. Fang on the other hand also speaks in an Australian accent but no one seems to pinpoint that.

To express more of my opinions, I'm glad Square is incorporating more and more nationalities through accents such as Cait Sith's Scottish accent and the British-accented majority of FFXII's cast.

It's not racist because australian isn't a goddamn race.

And her accent is the least of her problems.

[Slothy]

Pretty much what Mirage said. I can't think of a single time I've seen someone say they hate her for her accent (or even mind the accent), especially with plenty of other very valid reasons to hate her.

I quite liked Vanille's voice. And I can certainly see why people hate her, though I found her tolerable.

i loved Vanille and really don't get the hate directed at the character at all... but, i also loved Yuffie, Selphie, & Rikku, which i believe Vanille is another iteration of... also loved Vanille's accent, varrying accents give the impression that everyone is not from the same hometown, village, city, ect...

She's fine outside battle mostly, it's just the constant moaning when she does anything in battle that gets on my nerves.

Her voice only sometimes sounded Australian to me. Sometimes it sounded French... sometimes Spanish, Brooklyn even... Instability!

The only thing about Vanille that bothers me ever is the weird orgasm sounds she makes when she's in battle. It's not really a big deal though. I've grown to tolerate this, because this seems to be a problem with pretty much every game with a female in it. If I let it bother me too much my selection of games would be very narrow.

Her accent bothered me a little when I heard the first trailer with her voice in it, but once I heard some sensible dialogue I found it to be endearing.

Even though i hated her most of all. I ended up using her in my main party because she had more HP than hope as a healer....so yes, i had to go thru the stupid moans and corny dialogue with her! But it wasn't the accent that puts her off.

I have issue with the way she runs. And her weird squeals during battle don't help at all. In fact the most redeeming feature about her is actually the accent, for me.

She runs just like FFX-2 Yuna. I think it's adorable. Sometimes my friends and I like to run like Yuna :3

[VeloZer0]

No one who runs for kilometers on end, like the cast of any FF game, runs like that. Having been around athletes my entire life character animations like that really grate on me.

[Jessweeee♪]

Nobody runs like that ever, athlete or not xD

The game was running on the PS2 based on FFX-2 engine.

FFXIII started development before FFX-2 was even out, and was originally intended for the PS2, if that's what you're referring to
