Itās actually really odd how bad English voice acting is for recent FF games. 13 run was very hit or miss. 15 was good at times, but the actual script didnāt do it many favors. 
Very surprising considering itās Square and not a little indie studio. Lol

Well, part of the issue is I donāt think they ever re-model the in game models to match English scripts. So if they want to fit the mouth movements they have to add those grunts and have stilted acting. Because Japanese is just a completely different language rhythmically. Itās why P3, 4, and 5 have amazing VA work even though itās all the same usual anime/game VAs. There was no need to lip sync anything so people were able to actually act. As soon as mouth animation becomes a factor it gets weird.
I mean, it makes sense cause that would be a ton more work.
ā¦ actually not that I think about it, I think I saw a video showing that they DID do some reanimation for FF7RE in this regard, but then it just means they either didnāt do enough, or the JP devs thought it was fine or something

None of the final fantasy VAs are as bad as FFX and KH 1 &2
I think one of the only FF games I can honestly say I really enjoyed the English Voice acting was XV. Those dudes all sounded exactly like what youād picture, and they had chemistry with each other to boot.

Sure, Iām down. I donāt know what your timezone situation is like but Iām usually up pretty late. Iāll be available 5 hours from now, and then up and awake for about another 5. 
I want off this ride mr.bones
Penders wanted to work on a Phantasy Star project in the event his Sonic animated movie patch fell through. Bullet dodged there.
Iām on West Coast. And yeah 5 hours from now is cool.

You got some fucking nerv.
Nothings is as bad as FFX VAs fske laughing and the entity of KH collectives VAs.
The laugh was intended.
It is Tidus releasing stress by forcing himself to laugh.
Is akcward because is forced and he is at a lowpoint.
I am surprised how something so obvious flew over the head of many.

Also little different when Souls games VO is only in English. Its natural directing instead of trying to match someone else. It makes a really huge difference. No ones trying to recreate a performance, they are creating a fresh new one.
Well like I said it looks like a Nodachi but I donāt know 100% for sure as there are a lot of Katana variations. But mainly long handles are for increased control and increased power at the end of the blade. Longer handles let you hit a lot harder.

Whatās this game about?
That was the worst fake laughing ever.
The only VAs on FFX that was not cringe worthy was Auaron, and Lulu. Kimani came off as a ST TNG Klingon. Riku is the stereotypical cute hut hyper anime girl. Yuna has zero personality outside her identity as a summoner other than she the girl nice enough to bake you cookies when you had a bad day. Tidus? I was cheering when faded into nothingness at the end.
And who ever did the non-Disney characters in KH should of gotten their asses whooped. Dear god, I had that robot voice microsoft XP had give more emotion
Your exaggerations make you hard to take remotely seriously lol.

Itās probably closer to a Nagamaki.
Which, to be fair, Odachi, Nagamaki and Nodachi are all commonly interchangeably used to refer to the same type of sword. Nagamakis seem to usually have a handle thatās in equal length to the blade tho. I remember having this discussion with someone back when Samurai Showdown released and everyone was arguing over what kind of sword this was:
Very popular weapon of choice for Samurai of early fuedal Japan.
