The English VA is a giant mixed bag. Nia's VA is pretty unique and adds a lot of personality to Nia where the JP voice has her as the bratty tsundere archetype voice.

There's really a lot more effort into the English VA. If you let Rex's VA's inability to scream bother you, you'll miss out on some very fine details.

All the Gormotti have heavy Welsh accent, all the Ardainians have heavy Scottish accent, the Torna have American accent, the Tantalese have British accent, and the Leftherians have a small Scottish or British accent, and they stick with this pattern for the entire story including the NPCs. Most blades have American accent

Considering they live on isolated titans or in some cases have lived in ancient civilizations, the stark difference between their accent makes a lot of sense.

Meanwhile... the two most important characters Rex and Pyra have... very mediocre voice acting. Pyra's VA gets better over time, and her side quest and heart to heart dialogues are very very well voiced compared to her main story. And Pyra's supposed to sound super depressed early. There are a lot of nuances in the early cutscenes that may seem "odd" or "anime" but there's a purpose to it. A lot of it is an act. Of course Rex... oh god Rex. He has one very very good scene, which is near the end of the game where there's a Rex crying scene, but it's not a cry out loud scene, and that's what makes his voice acting so good. They should've gotten somebody who can scream like Adam Howden because jesus the JP counterpart screams a LOT

Gameplay tips time, get the X and Y at the beginning fo the battle driver affinity skill ASAP, and then get the Driver Art cancel to Driver Art affinity also ASAP. That'll cut your battle time by 2/3, no joke
