** Counterpoint: "Fog. '''BURNING FORCE!'''"
* In ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', in the first game voice direction is all around horrible for a good portion of the cast, with characters having odd pauses at random points in sentences and just generally being inappropriate. Kuja is by far the worst victim, though others including Zidane and Ultimecia were also disliked. Zidane's voice acting wasn't particularly ''bad'', Bryce Papenbrook did an okay job, it's just that he sounded entirely different from the Japanese voice and people in general thought the original was more appropriate for the character. The returning voice actors do a good job, except for Steve Burton as Cloud, who is so unemotional and lifeless he could give Squall a run for his money as [[The Stoic]].
** In responses to comments on a [[YouTube]] video though, JD Cullum, voice of Kuja, revealed he wasn't given a good feel for Kuja, and the "voice direction" he got was to imitate the Japanese voice and try to sound "breathy and feminine". If the other [[V AsVAs]] have similar stories to tell, no wonder it was hit and miss.
** The sequel ''Dissidia 012'' thankfully had all the cast undergo [[Vocal Evolution]] and in general everyone sounds much better, though it only highlights how bad the first game's scenes are when the player plays through the redone original storyline and finds the voices were not re-dubbed.
* ''[[Al Emmo]]'', an independent adventure game that is essentially ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]]'' in the [[Wild West]] — primarily because the game designer, rather than holding auditions for the protagonist, wanted to do the voice himself.
