And under vicious attack without relent, the warriors fighting for Cosmos started to fall one by one. The conflict that has continued for eons is now about to end in Chaos's favor. The world has been torn asunder, sinking into a vortex of disorder. As for the few surviving warriors- their fates have yet to be determined.

My vote goes to Final Fantasy Dissidia. I just love how characters from nearly every Final Fantasy now have matching voices, I think Square Enix did a great job with selecting the voice actors.

The sound effects are very great too, original to Dissidia yet very Final Fantasy style at the same time. I'm looking forward to Duodecim's voice work because I know it will be good.

In Japanese, yes...

Amnesia gets my vote. I'm normally annoyed by sound effects and voices, but the sounds in Amnesia serve their purpose, and the three or four voices you hear throughout the game never get old.

Acutally I liked the English voices. Yeah the Japanese voices did sound better, but I felt they did a good job with the English cast. The only ones I have problems with are Kefka, Kuja, and Onion Knight.

And it's not god awful like some voice actors, it's just decent. Everyone else? Perfect match in my book.

Giving this one to Dissidia. The only voice I had a problem with was Kuja's, but even his grew on me.

I have to say XIII. Mostly because Blue Dragon and New Vegas had horrible voices, and I've never played the other games.

You know what game that I just thought of had great voice actors? Lost Odyssey. Tad late though =/

Looks like Dissidia wins if no one else wants to vote for this category.

Dissidia's VA was okay. Have not played Blue Dragon or New Vegas, but I can say easily that Arkham Asylum has great voice acting (most of them are taken directly from the cartoon, I think). My vote goes to Batman.
