We've said it once and we'll say it again: we're not sold on Final Fantasy XV's English voice work, but the game's latest trailer has given us a little more hope. Spotlighting the English cast, there are clearly some passionate performances on show here, and it's nice to see so many voice actors invested in their characters.
Of course, the actual quality of the voice acting is only one side of things - it's always been the writing that's had us worried, and there are some pretty questionable lines on display in this very video. Here's hoping that it all comes together in the finished product, and we aren't left cringing ourselves into oblivion with our DualShock 4 in hand.
What have you made of Final Fantasy XV's English voice acting so far? Spout some nonsense in the comments section below.

I think the 50 minute gameplay trailer with HORRENDOUS writing and voice work demonstrated how bad this is going to be — classy cast trailer or not.
@get2sammyb Well this is it, I don't think the voice work is the problem there - it's a combination of crap writing and poor direction.
The voice actors didn't seem sincere. It's like they were supposed to say this. I couldn't stop eye rolling.
I wasn''t opposed to listening to the English dub.......but then I heard that stupid "NEW YORKAH" reporter in the 50 minute game and was like "Nah. I'll stick with the Japanese cast. Thanks."
@Andr0idLife He was BAD. "NYAH, whad are ya, some kinda wiseguy? Nyah!" His voice is so at odds with his appearance.
@Shigmin I was enjoying the gameplay and as soon as I heard I him, I busted out laughing because it was SOOOOOOOO bad.
Couldn't agree more, he definitely doesn't look like he'd have that kind of voice.
Man I hope there is a cockernay character who offers to 'shine your shoes guvnor'.
I'm not feeling this one at all but the music, as always in FF games, is very good.
I wonder how thrilled the Persona 5 guys feel now that FFXV has been delayed? There really should clean up in Japanese sales now.
Japanese cast I Guess.
Ignorance is bliss.
Mercer = Trafalgar Law (One Piece) and Corporal Levi (Attack on Titan)
I didn't think it was bad but I guess I'm the only one?
Don't seem that bad, I think it's just a iffy script.
Anyone know if the Japanese voice actors are the same as the anime? I really like the anime voice actors. I normally go Japanese anyway so I'm not bothered.
@starman292 The Japanese voice actors are the same in the anime and the game.
