Yes there are worse voices in games but she has a shit ton of lines and they're all delivered so oddly. Her breathy way of speech and the way she quickly says ok.

I get it she's scared and supposed to be a young teenager, but it wasn't done well.

I liked her.

FFX had amazing voice acting. Even Tidus and Wakka.

To be fair, it could be time constraints to deliver their lines because of the original Japanese.

Matching voice acting to previously scripted animations and lip movements was a dumb idea. This is why Auron had the best lines.

Tidus actually is pretty well cast to be honest. He's naive and stupid but that's his character.

Yeah, it was the fact they didn't have the time or budget to re-animate the mouth movements, so the VAs had to match the movements already in place; resulting in some hilarity.

Over all though, the voice acting in the game is really solid when you look past that.

Wasn't Yuna her very first role too? That combined with poor voice direction was a disaster waiting to happen.

I think this is the main reason for the awkward lines of dialogue in FFX.

Hence why all the characters rather irritatingly keep saying "ya know" after each of their lines; to soak up animation time.

The other way around, too.

It was the first real instance of voice acting and having it match up with the character mouth movements. Yuna's voice actress had to respect that she is an English voice actor, but Yuna's mouth mapping was done in Japanese. That's why she frequently had to condense the two syllable 'okay' down into a one syllable range.

Auron's voice actor did a great job.

The voice director sucked though. Why did they keep that dumb forced laugh? The minute they heard that, they should have called it shit and tried to get a more natural laugh in.

I also did like jecht's voice acting as well

They specifically reference this in an interview that I read years ago. Because Auron's mouth was constantly hidden by the collar of his jacket, they didn't have to worry about matching words to mouth movements.

It was supposed to be campy and stupid. Yuna and Tidus both share a much more natural sounding laugh after that forced laugh meme.

To be fair, according to Frylock, the more times you clone something, the molecular structure breaks down, and there's no telling what you'll get.

Anyone who complains about the laugh shows their cards and it is a losing hand.

Yuna is on a road to death. How can she laugh "normally"?
Tidus also feels the tension. He is home displaced in another world.
It is supposed to be the fakest laugh you ever hears.

It sucks that KH3 Voice Acting is stuck in the early 2000s level of dubs.
