American/British English voice actors

[Bolivar]

hey guys I just thought some of you might be interested in this interview with Alexander O. Smith, the guy who localized some of our favorite masterpieces. It's pretty interesting, he goes into some good stories.

And aluminum with an I?! What is that?! D: Silly british.

I think you probably meant to say "an additional letter I;" I think it's spelled "aluminium."

Another example: "program" (US) and "programme" (UK).

I thought it was pretty self explanatory since that's one of the biggest comments about the differences in the accents. But whatever yeah pick it out :/

Well thank you. Yes, American English and British English have a number of spelling differences and vocabulary terms.

Aluminium is the only right way to spell aluminium. If you disagree, you should also consider renaming uranium to uranum, plutonium to plutonum, et smurfing cetera.

and don't even dare linking to a bastardised dictionary that has caved in and claims both are correct. :(

[Forsaken Lover]

Voice-acting and Final Fantasy are usually not a good mix.
I just heard Kuja's voice in Dissidia and...oh god.

Exceptions are:
Yuna's voice but only in X-2
Auron's voice
Cecil's voice (Yuri Lowenthal is a legend)
...and that's it.

So if they can't even get English sounding good I'm glad they're avoiding accents.

Have you played FFXI?

[Forsaken Lover]

I don't play the side games.

What is the point of your question, though?

What are you talking about? There is no voice acting in FFXI. There is "oof" and "ugh" when you get hit/hit things, but that doesn't really count.

I will say what I always say - Wakka's voice = Bender's voice, therefore it is great.

No, both are correct, depending on whether it refers to American English or British English.

What about Steve Burton as Cloud Strife?

[Mirage]

Supermillionaire apparently doesn't see the logical error in accepting "aluminum"

[Forsaken Lover]

What about Steve Burton as Cloud Strife?

That from Advent Children? Because I really wasn't pleased with most of the voices there either. Biggest letdowns were Sephiroth and the other villains, though.

It would be an error in the UK, but not in the US. I'm from the US. Are you from the UK?

[Bolivar]

What is the point of your question, though?

Oh I meant FFXII. You said the selection of good voice acting in Final Fantasy was limited and I was wondering what you thought of FFXII if you played it.

Neither, and it's also irrelevant.
