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.

The voice acting is better in X-2. And the game is so much fun. I mean, so very, very much fun. <3 Paine.

Yuna and Riku are rather ... gleefully ditzy only in the way that very intelligent women who are finally free of their responsibilities can be ditzy. It's cute and I love that game.
