What are your thoughts on the voice acting?

[Enkidoh]

I'd rather they not have voice acting period - most the acting is stiff and wooden as anything, with some of the voice talent horribly miscast (Minfilia especially, that is not how I imagined her to sound at all). I guess being a traditional RPG player I'm used to reading dialogue via text box rather than hearing dialogue spoken like an interactive movie, but that's the way games are sadly nowadays.

Also if it was text heavy it would restrict the game to those who have a competent level of literacy - accessibility being a key aspect of the game's design, so having spoken dialogue does have it's advantages.
