I dapped you for playing 6 and having an opinion, but I disagree whole heartedly.
6 sucks, the characters have no depth.
Every character becomes OP just by slotting an esper and walking around, with absolutely no drawbacks. Every character has "special" attacks that can be used every single turn. Every character can wear "relics" that basically insta-OP them by giving the class features you had to earn in FF5. You can take a side character, give them a +2 magic esper, 2 strong relics, and move them to the back row, and over the course of a dungeon, with doing nothing other than "attack", they will be a super mage capable of leveling end game bosses.
Because the things that make characters powerful (relics, espers and stats) aren't tied to their person in any meaningful way, the characters are just palette swaps to building a "fighter specialist healer wizard" party. Want that to be Cyan/Locke/Terra/Strago? Cool. Want it to be Gau/Setzer/Cyan/Mog? Great, go for it. Have the exact same abilities and outcomes with both parties, why not.
Then there's the fact that the entire world is just reskinned and given to you as a second half quest, and people treat it like it's this insane plot twist. By a villain that does what, exactly? What's Kefka's motivation? Just to destroy the world because he's "crazy?"
Literally every single villain before him had a much, MUCH better motivation for what they were doing.
Garland: wanted to control time so made a pact with devils
Palamecia: Wanted to use hell to conquer the world, and opened a dimensional rift
Xande: Felt ripped off by what he was left with by his mentor, so started a revenge quest
Zemus: Wanted to claim earth as his own because his home planet was destroyed
X-Death: wanted revenge for being banished to another dimension
Kefka: Ughhhh, wants to blow up the world because he's crazy

The whole game is a study in how to appeal to 9 year olds.

Barret sound a lil Cornish but first day cop :wow:

He sounds a little exaggerated, but to be fair... The localized FF7 script made him sound even worse. So I think in normal conversations, he'll sound fine.

More information in June. Sephiroth sounds like his VA changed to Ben Diskin (Young Xehanort from Kingdom Hearts), and Steve Burton sounds different but in his battle grunts, it sounds just like him.
