I have said it once I have said it a million times, the voice over acting that was so hyped by Sony and SE wasn't just pitiful it was horible at the same time. Given there where a few characters that actually done well but others like Tidus and Seymore where aweful. Forced screams, bad laughing, monotone, and dry all around.

I too think the story mode was to linear and should of had a free roaming world map and killed the feel of a traditional RPG.
