That’s just what David Duchovny sounds like.

I have heard his album and he sounds like he is singing in his sleep, it is sort of impressive.

I would listen to Duchovny to get to sleep. His voice is just enchanting :allears:

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a game that exists entirely for Liam O'Brien, and for that reason at least it is good.

FFXIII-2 is good but it's inferior to Valkyrie Profile 2 in the hammy Liam O'Brien villain department

Original PSX version did this too. Resolution was just too low to notice.
Sorry to break the illusion but they don't. The model's skeleton just has the one torso bone and that's it, no extra articulations for jiggling. What you're seeing is purely full-torso movement combined with the, uh, prominence of her mesh in that particular area and a zest of numerical imprecision in how animations are stored. All that combined with your wildest dreams, of course. So dream on!

I think my final party always ended up as Zidane, Steiner, Garnet, and Eiko.

Also I'm dumb and never really got the hang of blue magic so even though Quina is apparently stupid powerful, I never made use of the character

kira buckland used to do fandubs and voice heroines in godlimations flash games and now she is the voice of 2b and the cat in trails of cold steel, a new member of the ranks of dub actors who appear in literally everything. a respectable career path

She hasn't fulfilled her destiny until she lands a voice in Smash Bros., thereby completing the circle that was started in Brawl Taunts.

Well, there are a small pool of union voice actors to draw from so every AAA game gets the same people.

You used to hear a lot of the same voices on cartoons as well but for everything but anime dubs studios have gone to great length to get a wider variety of actors.

I just wish Cree Summer would get more game work. Final Fantasy X is the last game I remember playing she was in. (The lady summoner you fight a few times throughout the game who is nice and helpful, not Donna)

She's such a great actress but she only ever gets bit parts :(

holy crap lately ive been playing a variety of games and they all seem to be hiring from the same incredibly small voice actor pool. Tales from The Borderlands, Fallout NV + 4, and a whole bunch of other games have the same people. Its slightly maddening.

It's cool though when you discover weird connections like Wakka from Final Fantasy X is also Bender on Futurama.

Here's a fun fact: there's an entire mod for the pc version that adds her as a playable character and puts her into cutscenes and stuff.

I dunno how good the mod is but it's a thing that exists.


Now if only they had a similar mod to add Lani in, though I suspect that'd be much harder since she's only ever a boss fight and never a party member.

I want a version of FFIX that replaces Eiko with Beatrix as your second healer. That way you get Garnet as your White Mage/Summoner and Beatrix as a Paladin, instead of having two White Mage/Summoner hybrids who just have different focuses (Garnet's main job is Summoner and Eiko's is White Mage).

She's not around a lot, she's mostly in the background. You can see her name mentioned a few times like at one of the early inns where their sign-in has a bad review made by her and she's one of the participants you're racing against in the monster fighting tourney, then she and Amarant get hired to go after Garnet and she's the first of the two you encounter, then you encounter her later and Amarant doesn't like how she's doing things so he defects to join Zidane, then after that she kinda chills at Eiko's place and I wanna say she's chilled out and realized that she was being a bit of a dick and she tells you how to go find out what Garnet's real name is I think

Yeah, it only works for Beatrix because she's already a temporary party member and thus has all the necessary data so it's just a matter of toggling the right flags. Lani would need actual content additions, which is pretty tricky with the way FF9's filesystem is set up.
