I'll admit that they were just about bearable, given that they only turned up in battle. But in terms of actual quality... *shivers* With the exception of Shining Force III on the Saturn, I haven't really heard substantially worse. It wasn't just the acting, but the sound quality too. Half of them sounded completely muffled, which made the whole thing seem completely half-assed to me...
...
Though since playing Shining Force III, Star Ocean 2's actually seem good. Seriously, they're that bad. >.<
Totally agreed about the battle engine, though.With the exception of the odd bit of clunkiness here and there (I remember occasional moments were healing items just didn't take effect, and I ended up dying
), it really was so much fun.
Actually, I liked it much better than the fully 3-D sequel's battle engine... So I'm totally hyped about a remake of Star Ocean 1 with what look to be the same mechanics. :3
