I dislike both.

Voice acting never comes off good, and FMVs take you out of the game... and in some cases just make the rest of the game look like crap.

FF12 had the worst cutscenes ever, as there was very little difference aside from the hair being more then just one piece.

are you insane? if done right Voice-Acting is great. Resistance had pretty good voice-acting, Final Fantasy X, X-2, and XII had great voice acting, and Half-Life has the greatest voice acting .I like NPCs that talk instead of having to scroll through 100 lines of text to get to the point.

 

As for cutscenes, if used as transitions to other areas of the game, side-stories, and teing of the actual story that they can be good. Even Epic in Unreal Tournament 3 did a good job with cut-scenes.

We must of been laying different FF12 games. I thought the voice acting was horrible. Worst of all was the evil empire who all sounded like people trying really hard to do bad english accents.

 Atleast it's not like anime where every third character is dubbed by spike from cowboy bebop.  Though he does do a lot of videogames too.

Also, i read faster then they talk. I perfer real time ingame cutscenes thanks. Keeps it more immersive and makes it more of a real artform in my mind to keep the graphic level consistant.

 fixed.

 

anyways, Japenese Subbed Anime = godlike compared to American Dubbed Anime.

And I havent ran into many animes with the guy who played Spike doing the voice acting. I think I watch better animes then. Sadly I have seen about 30 animes where the women who voiced Kari from Digimon didnt even try to change the voice at all for the characters. lol

Anyways on topic. I didnt mind the voice acting. Overall FFXII had good voice actors for the main characters. There will always be a questionable actor when voice-acting.
