Lots of new info incoming from the NicoNico Chokaigi 2 event

Let's just hope the English VA cast is good then! I am really happy for those who are anticipating the Japanese voiceovers and Square has obviously gone all out judging from the reactions, but, personally, it doesn't stir any emotions in me and I can't get excited just yet. I'm adamant that games do not need voice acting, and I would much rather have no voice acting at all than for it to be out of place and to break my immersion. I know that in this day and age it is expected that games have it, but as an avid reader and someone who loved the first 9 Final Fantasy games without it, I can gladly do without. As long as it enhances the experience and adds charm and character to the game, I'll be happy. If we get some truly theatrical performances too, then even better!

I agree here. I'm sure it's an A-list class for them, but for me, they're just random names lol. I'm waiting to see what the NA side does with the English voice cast. Hopefully Crispin comes back to do Thancred +.+ lol
