Overall, I think the voice acting was better in 1.0. I also liked how 1.0 threw you into that first fight. Otherwise... well, I never experienced the 1.0 intros for Limsa or Ul'Dah, so I shouldn't comment on those, but I was not a fan of the Gridanian intro. That's in no small part because I've never liked Yda. I'm sure that makes me a terrible person to some people, but my favorite line in 2.0 so far is Papalymo's jab at her ridiculous mask.

Is it just me, or does it seem like a lot of the voice acting in 2.0 feels artificially stretched out, as though the voice actors are being forced to read their lines slowly in order to fill time?
