Laughing like crazy???
Did anyone else get sick to the stomach by the laughing scene right before the Mi'hian Highroad? I have read on other forums or just basic reviews that this section of dialog had little or no character to it. Also, how about the returning theme with Tidus and Yuna with screaming and laughing when things got tough. Granted the technology was brand new for voice over of this quality and maybe they just messed it up, but it seems like this would be something that would be easily recognizable and quickly changed.
P.S. Has anyone played the Japanese version of this game without translation? maybe the dreaded laughing scene sounds better from the people who originally did it and not the translotors? What do you think?

Theres a fred somewhere with the Japanese laughing and IMO it sounds just as bad in that. It's just godawful and makes me cringe to the point I have to mute my tv

I think Wakka's statement, "We thought you had gone crazy..." pretty much sums up how I feel about this scene. It didn't bother me to the point where muted the TV, but it certainly was bad. But I forgive Square because of Auron

Auron huh? Yea i guess i forgive them to, maybe if he had jumped in and told them both to put a lid on it, then the dialog would have at least been funny.

Tidus' voice in English was really awful. That's what tends to happen when you have a 40+ year old trying to voice a teenager. Doesn't work so well.
As for the laughing scene...yeah, that was awful. I remember cringing as well in a "Is this guy serious?!" sort of manner.
I never did beat FFX, because the voice acting was just...too much for me to handle. Had the sort of voices that made me want to carve out my own ear drums. D=

I can actually imagine that:
Yuna and Tidus: HA HA HA HA...
Auron: Stop it...
Tidus: Aw, come on Auron. Let us just...
Auron: Shut up...or I'll shut you up myself...
That would've been epic Auron is the best and coolest character on the game. Any faults that the game had, Auron made up for it.

The laughing scene induces thoughts of suicide in me. Right when I'm about to go through with it, a strange sense of amusement prevents me from...you know...ending the pain.
Nah, it isn't quite THAT bad.
It isn't funny enough to make me laugh at how bad it is. I just sorta stare in disbelief. Strange stuff.
