I just realized it was up this morning, and I'm genuinely blown away. I was definitely feeling a little disappointed through most of the trailers (and also the Creative Business Unit III nonsense heh). They were feeling super generic, and a little hackneyed.
30-40 minutes in and holy crap. The english voice acting is amazing (though my friends pointed out, is it really a final fantasy game if the VA isn't super cringe?), and they seemed to have put a LOT more effort in the mocap for lip syncing the english voice overs as well. It looks amazing, but that's to be expected. And honestly I hadn't been following the development much so I didn't know this beforehand, but my immediate thought was how much like early Game of Thrones the cast of characters and setting was starting to feel like.
Anybody else have a chance to take a look, or care heh?
I thought the same thing actually. maybe others in the game become more engaging, but yeah it was one handing that eikon fight heh. The voice acting really is soooo good. it just feels more natural, and....yeah less cringe. whoever did the localization should get some sort of award or promotion (obviously it was a team not an individual), because it feels like they made a huge effort on this one.
