I didn't completely hate it, it's just not at the standard I'm used to. There are a few songs that are OK-ish, and two or three that I really like. The rest are unremarkable IMO.
 
Most of the music sounded the same, as if a lot it had the same basic beat, the battle theme was exactly adrenaline inducing like in previous games.

8/10 for the voice acting? No chance, Vanille sound like an American trying to do an Australian accent switching to British every now and again even though the actress is actually Australian, Lightning is just another mood protagonist, and has no life in her voice, Snow just sounds like a dumb jock that's fallen madly in love with one of cheerleaders, hope, well, he sounds like every other whiny teenager has since FFX.

Although FFX still has the worst voice overs, Tidus's voice will haunt me till death and Wakka just makes me cringe.
 
I thought it was really well done, but it is just my opinion, as is stated in the original post. I don't know what you mean about Vanille's accent, I didn't get a British vibe at all. Sounded all Australian to me. As did Fang's.

All Australian except for the parts where it's not even remotely, because it becomes arbitrarily American.

My guess, the actress was trying to do American, but failing miserably.

Well, each to their own I guess. I just didn't really notice any fluctuations in the accent. See this.
 
Lol.  No I'm not taking anyone's word for it.  But I disliked 10 and 12, and seems to me this will be just as entertaining as those were.

Like I said about Heavy Rain, I'm tired of playing the same old games over and over with new colors.  Make something creative or innovative and I'll spend my money and time on it.

Have you ever played Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy?
 
Yeah, the plot made no sense and it was just one giant pile of minigames and QTE sections.

Yeah, Indigo Prophecy here in the US.  I really enjoyed it.  That first scene where you killed a dude and had to hide his body in the bathroom, that was excellent.  And the rest of the story went really well (until the very later parts).   

So I'm glad Heavy Rain did the opposite and started off slow as hell, but got GREAT after that first chapter.  Just better and better and better.

Worth $60?  No.  Maybe $30.  But damn well executed.  I think it really raised the bar for good storytelling.  Of course, now that I know the twist I've since sold it.  I'll never feel like logging 10 hours into a story that I know the ending(s) to.
