FFX-2

Yuna's US voice is absolutely atrocious. I mean really, really appalling. She makes Yuna sound like an airhead, which she most certainly is not.

She also has a severe case of Shatner Syndrome and mistimes her lines constantly with these bizarre pauses, in an attempt to synch the lips. In light of this, I have a new motto for US voice actors:

THE LINES, NOT THE LIPS!

None of this, of course, stops me from downloading either the English language fmvs, which are the highest quality I can find, for X. Or from downloading a play-through of X-2, also in English, may the little demons of chaos have mercy. I'm just going to be wincing every time Yuna opens her mouth.

You should have heard the Italian edition of Legend of Dragoon.. I still shudder at the thought (maybe it's a lucky thing after all that here games almost always keep the American voices). I agree about Yuna's voice and US voice actors, though I must admit that they did a wonderful job with Devil May Cry 3.

*sighs* Yeah. I guess the priority for gaming voices is even lower than for animation voices. Pity, that.
