“Indeed, the localisation team deserves so much praise here, because they've taken a Japanese script and transformed it into something that feels completely natural, topping it off with some superb voice acting.”

“Second, there’s the group of people responsible for the other half of that - a brilliant voice cast, and all of those who translated, wrote, ad-libbed, and otherwise helped to deliver this narrative. These guys are the absolute MVPs of this game, and in doing so they create some aspects of this game that will dominate Final Fantasy ‘best of’ lists - the best Cid, the best romantic subplot, some of the best cutscenes, and even a protagonist who will probably henceforth prop up quite a few best lead lists.”
