So, does anyone else agree that the Speech and Talk in XII was done rather well? I loved how they talked. Anyone else agree?
 
I meant everyone's talk in general.

Balthiers was the best. I also loved Fran's voice.

Basch's voice was very patriotic. xD.
 
isnt basch's got a hint of arnold shwartseneggar!(if thats how you spell it)

lol, no i don't think a german accent would fit him... he was fine as he is..

i did like Vaan and Penelo's voiceacting... since they were american, it just feels better for an international game(like my version of FFXII)

but i think the british accent was a neccesity because Basch and Ashe are like... from Royal thing, as in Basch used to be a high ranked soldier and Ashe a princess
and Balthier was supposed to be the charismatic character, and a heavy british accent really fits such a character...

i didn't like the Viera speech that much, it was as if it was somebody who couldn't pronounce decent english(all Viera had this not just Fran)
 
I loved the speech styling, and how well every voice actor pulled it off. It kind of makes the Star Wars prequels look even worse, considering the heavy use of "cannot" rather than "can't," etc. and how it all sounded so stiff. In FFXII, even though it was used to a greater extent (i.e. using virtually extinct words like "overmuch" and so on) and it all sounded so natural. Fran's was the highlight for me, however.
 
I was quite fond of the speech quality in this game. Even the NPC's had good voice acting, which is typically unexpected. Balthier and Fran in particular stood out as my personal favourites, because:

A) Balthier is awesomely British, and
B) Fran sort of sounds Russian. I looooooove the Russian accent.
 
I remember Al-Cid's voice. It was done quite well. Larsa's voice was different as well. It just blended really well with the look and feel of the game.

Fran & Balthier DID stick out the most though.
 
I did like most of the voice acting, though I thought Ashe was flat. Her voice acting just didn't do it for me. Did anyone else think Migelo sounded like he had a constant cold? It sort of fit him though. My favorite was Ondore. I loved his accent.
 
I liked gabranths and al-cids voices but balthiers is the funniest ^_^
 
Why do you think Balthier's is funny? haha. I thought it was quite cool. Larsa sounded older than he was.

Yeah, Migelo was somewhat of an oddity when it came to accents... As for Ondore, the actor seemed to be forcing it a bit. I noticed his accent waver from one to another on a couple of occasions, though I must say he's rather suáve.
 
Gabranth's voice was nicely done as well. As for Penelo...I found her voice to be so monotone and bland.
 
The Voice acting was really good, Balthiers stuck out most in my mind, I love his voice, like a Posh Jack Sparrow haha.
 
I loved the accents and style of speech in this game. It might not have had character depth but it certainly had style. I loved just the manner in which everyone spoke, especially Reddas.

Reddas surprised me that his actor (Phil Lamarr) handled the style so well. The main place I'd seen him was MadTV, hopping around as the hyper UPS driver:wacko: and other goofy characters.
