Well I look forward to Fire Emblem since I keep hearing so much about that. It's on my gamefly list. How long is that, btw?

Eternal Darkness isn't 2nd party anymore considering they are making a 360 game (Too Human), but having to use 3rd parties doesn't really help the fact that Nintendo doesn't like to do good story telling. A lot of people don't care, anyway, I'm just saying. Some people think they could use some voice actors a little more.

Well last gen it was hard seeing as nintendo games usually have alot of content, and voice acting does take up alot of space. Now they have the same amount of space as a dvd so I think they could fit more voice acting.

 


Perhaps that is a factor. Didn't some PS1 games have voice acting, though?

Some, but they probably didn't have too much content. ANd I think that most that had voice acting blended a mix between voice acting and text.

Xenogears had anime cutscenes...although that was on several discs, I think. I just think it's Nintendo's style more than space considerations. We'll see, I guess.

Haha, is that the legendary Panasonic game?

But come on! In this day and age and with all the cash Ninty's got, I'm sure they can get some decent voice actors. How are people okay with character-less characters? Especially when you're controlling that character? Alas, Nintendo is far too conservative and its fans have a far greater voice than I do....

Speechable or speechless characters are debatable by fans what you must consider thought is that this is a big game ( 55 - 65 hour ) with alot of dungeons and it is stuffed entirely on one miniDVD (1.5 GB).

From a techncal point of view it's really great what Nintendo accomplished with TP on GC hardware.
