Something for a lazy weekend: Final Fantasy XIII English Voice Localization video

Ever wondered what would happen if a game as visually mind-blowing as Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Xbox 360) got godawful voice acting? It would be kinda like this IGN Originals video, only I don't think it would be half as entertaining.

Hey, it's a slow weekend, so have some fun and check out the vid. It's pretty funny. Snow's lines, especially the ones from 0:30 to 0:43, are classic. Warning for the kiddies, though: this one's infested with explicit language.

Yeah I bet..

This caused some commotion and disappointed some people. On IGN the title first read something like "English FFXIII localization so far", and upon viewing it, you find out it's just some lame joke making FF characters say explicit stuff. I'm sure a first thought is "Great so the states MAY get this game this year!", theeeeeeeeen disappointment ensues. Would have been funny if they didn't think bathroom humor was so funny, and actually thought out a funny script. All around lame, only certain people can make explicits funny, not those guys.

need good voice acting

I bet SE is trying to get their hands on awsome voice actors into the game I would be SHOCKED if they get Kevin Conroy mark Hamill or the girl that played Catwoman to play as Lighting that would be freaking awsome.

I Call BS.

~~Ever wondered what would happen if a game as as Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Xbox 360) got godawful voice acting? how did Final fantasy XIII go from being graphically disappointing to visually mind-blowing? I checked the videos.. Nothing Has changed there. I checked the news. There has been no Graphical overhaul. Its funny how the hype engine works isnt it? They dont even need to cover their own asses anymore, They cant just tell us what they want us to think. And some people believe it. Amazing..

Did I miss something?

Huh? I don't understand your comment at all. Are you just jumping on the 'everything mainstream and SE sucks' bandwagon? Where do these Negative Nancy trains come from? Are you denying FFXIII will be good, simply because the graphics don't meet your otherworldly standards? I see nothing wrong with the graphics, unless you look at what the initial trailers were aiming for. Even then though, they're VERY close to the original trailers. Not to sound biased, but I bet if you had the game solely developed for PS3 and not 360, it would look better. But yeah, tell me I misread that or something.
