This game seems to be getting hammered in the reviews, I see its still has a decent meta score though. Gameplay praises are a good thing cause that helps, but the bad music and voice acting can ruin a story, which is essential to a RPG.

I finished the game and I didn't hear one bad music. I don't know what kind of music they like in their JRPGs, but this is the Star Ocean style, and if they don't like it, well screw them! o_O

Also, you get used to the voice acting. All JRPGs with voice acting are annoying anyways, unless they include japanese voices and subtitles.

Final Fantasy 12 and Kingdom Hearts 2 had great voice acting, in the english version. Maybe the great music and voiceacting makes these type of games superior RPG´s, considering someone here said RPGs usually have have bad or mediocre development in these two.

Maybe, but don't forget that Final Fantasy XII released seven months later in the US and Kingdom Hearts II three months later in the US.

I love to be able to play the game now, and to be honest, the voice acting is bearable. Even with the characters' animations, you can even consider it all part of the art style! The characters look a bit like dolls, and they move a bit like them too. Some people might say it even looks like Thunderbirds (that show was awesome)!
