I haven't had the urge to punch anyone through the internet for being insufferable in the last several posts, so I don't know why we're invoking Azure_Horizon here.

Have Lightning appear as an NPC in every Square Enix game, but have her only lines be variations of "Why am I even here" and every appearance she's wearing different weird adornments from LR

 Level Slide posted:Now I'm imagining the fervor that would ensue if Square-Enix put FFXVI, or some similarly numbered mainline Final Fantasy, exclusively on a Nintendo system. I mean sure, there's Monolith Soft's games which are made by former Square employees, but they don't have nearly the amount of clout as Final Fantasy [15+n] exclusively for Nintendo Wii U. I'm suprised that never happened on the Wii, outside of the Chrystal Chronicles games, but I think it's a bit late for that now.

Sex_Ferguson posted:I dunno if it's the same for the English version (I'm sure it is), but it was stated the voice acting would be improved. Much like the remastered tracks I'm sure they fixed up the voice acting clips so they don't sound like they're from 2001 and 2003. It's still the exact same clips, with the exception of Last Order, which I'm sure they got the VAs back for. Did they get a better voice actress for Yuna? Say what you will about, well, every other point in the game, her VA was what ruined it for me. Pesky Splinter posted:

Her VA is actually good, but for some reason when she came back for Dissidia they had Yuna pretty much sound just as awkward.

It doesn't matter if they hire people that I think have been brilliant in other roles, they always turn out mediocre performances. The list of people with good VA in mainline FF's can be counted on one hand (Balthier, Caius, and Sazh). Edit: Fine, Gilgamesh is awesome too. So is Gaius van Baelsar from 14, now that I think about it. Failboattootoot fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Feb 24, 2014 |

Yuna's VA isn't very good in any language. I'd rather listen to the dub where at least she's bad in just kind of a trying-awkwardly way instead of just bad.

X has her make a huge-rear end pilgrimage to get sacrificed (while so amnesiac douche tries to get in her pants) while X-2 has her deal with an entirely new world and freedom. So I guess you can say that her voice works despite itself

I'm sure I read somewhere that the VA was awkward in X cause the actress was trying to sync up to the game's lip syncing since SE didn't bother reworking the lip syncing for X, but they did for X-2?

A friend of mine LOVED FF13-2, he did all the optional stuff and he kept insisting I play it. He started Lightning Returns and even he thinks it's bad, but at least in a funny way? Like his exact words were "Never buy this game but watch me play through it some time it's hilarious" Also, Bravely Default is the best FF game in ages.

I'd be fine with that if her actress wasn't so flat, whispering every line in the same passive monotone. Everyone dropped the ball with Yuna.

If you guys had to choose, what version of FF10 remake would you get? I'm leaning towards the Vita but I want to play it on my TV as well since I have a 60" plasma. I kinda wish they did a 60 dollar combo pack or something similar so that I can do both  Alternativly I can hope for the PS3 version to drop to 20 dollars in 6-8 months and buy that version then.

Unless you're planning to play it on the go there is no reason to get it on the Vita instead of the PS3. And honestly FFX is probably kind of crappy on the go due to all the unskippable cutscenes. I'll probably end up getting it on the Vita but I'm kind of a sucker that way. Well, that or if you want every FF game on one system since the Vita's pretty close to that at this point.

With suspend mode, you can at least stop playing whenever you want, rather than having to find the nearest save point or leave the system running.

Bravely Default is really drat good and I'd buy a sequel in a heartbeat although I'm only at Chapter 4 and it still doesn't feel like I have access to reliable sources of JP to get my jobs up. FFXIII-3 though I've just quit because for everything I like in the game I just can't enjoy a game with a time mechanic of any sort. Yes, I know you can very quickly chronostasis everything but mentally that does nothing for me. I have no interest in feeling pressed to keep moving/hunting/doing things optimally (even if there is a loooot of leeway in what optimal means). I'd play another FF with the same leveling mechanic/combat system and no timer in a heartbeat.
