Final Fantasy XII Presumably the last "main" game to be released on the PS2, FF12 broke the tradition of Battle Screens. It was also the sixth game ever to receive a perfect 40/40 score from the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu.

I noticed that also. Caught me by surprise and I suddnely seen Vaan as Oliver! Being a little scally-wag lol. I agree that Ashe's voice was so plain and bland. Balthier, Basch and Fran had the best voices in the team IMO.

To improve on X dosent really take alot. XII is excellent, I hope future games can follow suit.

In your opinion she may be, but I personally believe she has an interesting voice and it sounds unique.

why did balthier have a british accent? there is no britain in ivalice!

the guards had good voices in my opinion and the judges voices were great considering they had helmets covering their full face

vaan sounded like he was about to cry all the time when he spoke

The voices of the judges made them sound even more evil (especially Bergan) when they spoke through their helmets

Yeah, I don't think gabranth would sound the same when you fight him a second time, it sounds more serious when he wears a helmet

There's also no America. What's your point?


I found the voice acting to be adequate in XII. Definitely a step-up from X, but considering X was essentially a beta test for future installments, I can't really hold it against Square for a first attempt. The synch was... God-awful though. XII wasn't great for that either, but again, definitely an improvement.

I didn't like Ashe's voice, however. I'm biased with that statement though; I think she's a complete bitch anyway.
