Dissidia
Upon playing it more, the story isn’t that bad, just a bit preachy at times.

Ultimecia’s VA sounds like she’s doing what Yuna’s did in FFX (PAUSE AWKWARDLY IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERY SENTENCE), except…on purpose. WHY. @_@ As in, Yuna’s VA did it because she needed to match mouth movement, but she at least made an effort to make it sound like it (pauses and all) was all part of a sentence rather than retarded fragments. Ultimecia’s VA will speak her lines as if there actually is a period in the middle of a sentence. Whut.
Firion’s voice is hot.
A couple Most of the VAs (particularly Squall) tend to overact. I mean, do you really need to emphasize that word that much?! (Squall is a little different: what he does is deepen his voice so much it’s obviously fake.) @_@ And you can tell that they’re clearly recording individually (as opposed to Japan, where all the seiyuus for a particular scene are gathered together at once) because occasionally they use the wrong emphases. It’s easier to record individually for a dub, I suppose, but Cloud had a line where’s he says, “Where’s the kid?” It sounded very accusing, as if he’s demanding of a villain where his kidnapped friend is. The question was actually a curious one asked of a friend about the whereabouts of another friend. That line just sounded so off, and I feel like it probably could have been rectified if the actors were more aware of their scenes. :/
