The extent of the voice acting remains impressive, it's basically every interaction that has any plot importance plus all interactions with important NPCs.

Hm. I'm not finding the first game and a bit to be very cheesy, outside of Estelle, and even she isn't that terrible. Just cliche a lot of the time. As you say, kind of "anime cheesy", and even that is blunted by the lighthearted tone of the games so far. I've seen far, far worse in video games... hell, most FF writing is a lot cheesier than this, while taking itself far more seriously. But I suppose I will see in a few hundred game-hours when I get to the Cold Steel games.
Maybe it's Cold Steel that got to me, but I agree with with you with Sky, I thought the localization did a fantastic job for that game. I really like Estelle as a main character. Rean (the Cold Steel MC), I'm kind of on the fence on. Still can't wait for Cold Steel 4 to come out this fall to hopefully wrap up the story nicely.
