Yoshi_Girl Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Great idea Olsen, lol. This is very liberating actually and I'm sure others will enjoy ranting, sharing and discussing everything now without fear of the ban-stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very liberating actually and I'm sure others will enjoy ranting, sharing and discussing everything now without fear of the ban-stick! Yep yep. I think we'll be doing these for the big games now. That being said, this is my last post in this thread until I actually play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensredemption Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 So Lightning's real name is Claire...God that's sexy... Also, it's quite close to "Cloud", her sheath for her gunblade resembles Cloud's sheath for his sword in Advent Children - and not to mention the fact that she's just as aloof and blunt but utilizes that as a cover for her true concerns. So...Pretty much Cloud's female counterpart, but much more sultry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph4nt0mX10 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I guess she's sultry... in the anger sense of the word. She's just a little ball of fury for most of the game. She's much more likeable after she softens up. Now the one person I can never like at all is Vanille. Like, I'm a cheery person, but that shit is just retarded... plus during the beginning of the game she doesnt' even have a consistent accent!

kensredemption Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think it's because her voice actress is a new immigrant to the States. Ha ha ha. But seriously, why don't they try casting the fans to do the voice acting once in awhile? I feel I could do a decent Squall in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi_Girl Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah I had a difficult time placing Vanille's accent as well. I really didn't complain much about the game but there really wasn't much consistency when she spoke. It almost sounded as if the voice actress was trying to hard.

bboy.gaz Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Maybe Vanille and Fang had a VERY different accent to the rest because of their timeline apart and also the location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensredemption Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Indeed. Both Fang and Vanille are originally from Pulse, and 500 years before the game begins at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph4nt0mX10 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 They were from the same village, show up in a handful of pictures together, are mentioned together in the Annalects, and know about each other's focuses and what happened... I mean... if you're going to go with Australian for one, go with Australian for the other, it's juts common sense. Don't have some random voice actor invent a quasi-accent on the spot, you know? Especially if it's a character getting a lot of line... many of which are annoying/obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensredemption Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The voice actresses for Fang and Vanille were both Australian, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph4nt0mX10 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Why is an Australian speaking in an accent that sounds more European than Australian?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensredemption Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Overcompensation, I suppose. I would have loved to have Tara Strong come back to voice another Final Fantasy character. I loved her as Rikku, ha ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph4nt0mX10 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Tara Strong would probably have made a great Vanille... she's pretty good with those crazy/hyper/cheery characters. She's also a great VA in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensredemption Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I remember her voice acting in both Teen Titans as Raven and Drawn Together as Toot and that one princess (I forget her name). Pretty crazy shit from time to time, but by God: She is wonderful. She just does the ditzy girl role so well...Perhaps it's because she's blonde? (No offense to anyone who is).

Ph4nt0mX10 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Frankly... any voice I've seen her do she's done well. I would still hate Vanille as a character, but at leat I wouldn't have to hate on her for bad VA, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensredemption Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Ha ha, true, true. Though, I still love Vanille in general. I guess I didn't mind the accent so much because it was kind of new to me (And also perhaps because I'm rather open-minded). She's optimistic, and she's the one Final Fantasy girl who was a victim of circumstance that I had utter sympathy for. In addition to that, she's got the l'Cie brand on her left butt cheek - and to be honest - I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I saw Fang check on it when they reunited. For one, it was too cute to bear and seeing how the others reacted made it that much more hilarious. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrieverLioness Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 For one thing, I hated the fact that Lightning's real name was 'Claire'. I don't think they could have picked a more boring/average real name for her. It was very inconsistant with other Final Fantasy names. I think they could have left it at 'Lightning' without her having changed her name and it would have felt more realistic within the game space to me.
