    in the PS1 days

    Maybe it’s just me, but I’m really averse to bad voice acting. I love the story of basically every single Final Fantasy that doesn’t have voices, and I can’t stand listening to the cutscenes in any of the ones that do in English.

    If the VO is in Japanese, I can’t tell if it’s good or bad, which means it doesn’t grate on me like nails on a chalkboard.

      It might not even be the quality of the voice acting but just the content itself. JRPG writing is goofy and melodramatic but just text or Japanese VO makes it less obviously grating

      OG Tenchu on PS1 had the best ‘awful voice acting’. My partner and I still quote bit guards and mini bosses from that game all the time.

      Honestly i yelled at you elsewhere but this is actually understandable, even if i think FFX’s story is excellent in spite of the voice acting. Im bad voice acting tolerant thought (probably partially because FFX was formative for me).
