its not a great scene but people use it as an example of bad voice acting when its actually an example of good voice acting
it was a weird and awkward scene so the VAs made it weird and awkward doing their job well

Both of those, plus the chick that did Yuna's voice was absolutely fucking terrible. Such a lifeless performance-- every other voice actor was leagues better than her.

It's one of those scenes that could embarrass a teenager. You are playing your video games and you family/friends walk in during that scene and they are judging you.

I didn't miss the point, it was still awkward and bad. I enjoyed and laughed at it for that reason tbh.

If you see nothing wrong with that scene then youre basically saying you normally have an incredibly awkward laugh. Either that or you have no real idea how humans communicate.

Gee, I don't know. Because it's so fucking cringey that even the rest of the group of fucking Final Fantasy characters were staring at the two wondering just what the fuck was going on?

Because the "point" of the scene was fucking dumb?

FFX was the start of JRPGs doing this. It was mostly good, but it has sprinkles of embarrassing shit.

You should've played it more tbh. Did you make it to Besaid Island at least? The start was good with the Zanarkand stuff but meeting Wakka is when I really got sucked in.

i will never understand how people look at that scene, in a game which has bad acting from top to bottom and especially from Yuna and Tidus's VAs, and think that scene was somehow supposed to be an exception.

its not only badly acted, its badly directed. the way it cuts to the other characters watching them makes it feel like a scene from twin peaks or something

I think the characters are the worst in ALL final fantasy. Followed by story being garbage. And blitzball sucked as well. The story and characters are painfully bad. This is the first and only new game, full priced that i put down after a few hours. I blame this game for losing interest in any FF after it.

Fair enough. I don't like blitzball either also.

The laughs are bad because they dont think anything is funny and are forcing it while thinking laughing is stupid.

when they realize how psychotic they sound they start laughing for real.

granted, the I was the only one laughing scene at Djose had a similar theme and was arguably executed more naturally. >_>

whats Tiduss motivation for putting any effort into it? The man is dead inside during that point in the game.

if someone you just met last week is telling you hey, force yourself to laugh, itll make you feel less depressed! are you gonna break out a Tony Award winning performance? >_>

Its not just supposed to be a fake laugh though, its supposed to be a terrible forced laugh. And the whole game has subpar voice acting. It was early for fully voice acted rpgs and given the quality of the voice acting in the rest of the game, this scene is not an outlier. Its perfectly fine and serves its purpose, it just gets unfairly brought up over and over and over out of context.

loud does not equate to acting effort (unless youre Nicholas Cage). The whole thing was hollow and fake. Which it was supposed to be. <_<

It's supposed to be a fake laugh, the scene is about hiding your damn feelings and acting like you're in a good mood. you don't laugh by literally going AH AH AH AH AH AH AH

no ones talking about acting effort, stop moving the damn goal post.

Its weird... this is a game that has plenty of examples of bad vocal direction and poor voice acting. This scene really isnt a good example of that though. Its awkward of course but its supposed to be. Its a moment of levity after having a pretty big bomb dropped on the main character. Plus it offers a touch of foreshadowing towards the burden Yuna bears.

Its not the best scene but it has purpose.

yeah because the relationship yuna and tidus have is totes just someone you met last week. It was meant to be an emotional bonding scene of yuna opening up to tidus about how she hides her feelings and acts strong for the sake of others. Stop moving the goalpost you clown. Stop acting like he didn't put effort into it. Stop acting like an awful fake laugh isn't an awful fake laugh.

Lmao why are you so upset over this?

How do you complain that the laugh isnt realistic while simultaneously saying the character put effort into it? Lol. The laugh is bad because Tidus thinks its a stupid idea and is only humoring Yuna because he wants his pp wet.

Your entire argument falls apart five seconds after this scene, when the character actually starts laughing naturally and sounds perfectly fine lol.

So in your bizzaro world, you don't put effort into a fake laugh, but you do put laugh into your real laugh. Stop moving arguing against yourself you goal post moving clown.
