If the main characters are terrible at voice acting, and they have the most speaking parts, then the game is ruined by it.  I agree with Ginko\'s distaste for the voice acting and FFX as a whole.  Then again, I\'m just getting sick of RPG\'s in general because it\'s the same tired BS everytime.  It needs an overhaul, a big one.

Anyways, a game other than MGS that always gets overlooked for its voice acting is the first Soul Reaver.  It had a slightly brtish tilt to it, but it was superb nonetheless.  It was great when you had died and awoke in the water and the overlord spoke to you in a big booming voice, a good one at that.  Speaking of which, Black and White didn\'t have bad voice acting either. :)

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

*pops head in*

I\'d just like to say that I also disliked FFX, and FF is my favourite franchise.

The best voice was easily Auron IMO, everyone else was blah.

I don\'t think the voices can even begin to compare to MGS2\'s (as someone earlier compared them I think)

best thing about FFX was its graphics, very colorful. Other than that it was a waste of money and time for me.

FFX is fine.

Ginko, you mentioned Skies of Arcadia.  If you honestly think thats better than FFX, then you have bad taste.  Now I bought that game and it was a lot of fun till about the end when you just get sick of the really lame fighting system.  The ship battles get old and boring, the magic is old and the specials get real old.  That game was a cool game but was not good enough to even keep my interest to finish it.

It\'s hard to make a good RPG nowdays.  The best FF was FF2 and FF3.  After that, FF will never be the same.  So accept the fact that it is impossible for us all to get the same pleasure that the originals gave us.  I mean its FFX already (US number too).  The fact that the game kept u playing while enjoying it should be amazing enough.

I have Dreamcast, PS2, XBox, and Gamecube.  I love them all.  Right now I\'m playing Hunter: The Reckoning for X BOX, and Resident Evil for Gamecube.  I gotta buy Medal Of Honor for PS2!  I had no idea it was out!

Good taste/bad taste= opinion.  Skies battle system may have been simple but the story, setting, and characters were more than enough to keep me going...and loving it. The only other RPG I hold above Skies is FFIX (most amazing FF, IMO)  The reason(s) I finished FFX was its\' battle system (very nice change) and the fact that it was the only game I had for PS2...I bought PS2 for that game! As I said earlier: I didn\'t like the story at all and never connected with the main character.  I think those are two critical aspects a person should like to enjoy a RPG...you disagree?
