I disagree, as far as I am, all the major characters have at least passable acting. Its just that some of the voices take some getting used to.
Eh, I think a lot of the voice acting sounds really cheesy and annoying. It's not the worst, but I think they could have done a lot better.
voice acting doesn't define whether a game is good or not though. i heard great things about Tales of Vesperia too. i don't know anything about Star Ocean The Last Hope, so sorry, i dont' know if that's any good or not.
Vesperia>>>SO4. Whilst SO4's combat is more addicting, the terrible voices, character animation and subpar plot can't match up to Vesperia. BTW, anyone else totally expect one of these htreads to show up?
