You guys have to stop comparing this to anime.

This is a AAA, world renowned title that's probably more popular in the west than in Japan.

Expecting anything less than the absolute best of everything from a FF title is absurd.

Every other modern game in the series has had amazing graphics, dialog, story, and voice casting.

You can NOT compare this game to Japanese dubbed cartoons. This is a billion dollar franchise.

If anything, I'm actually fairly certain that in the precious games, the Japanese was the dubbed version and the English versions received world class treatment.
