Talking RPG'S????

Hi!
I just finished reading the thread from the guys who doesn't like FFX
and your suggestions to him. I am almost done with FFX and I am enjoying it,
even though some of the things in it I don't like..... as he already
mentioned.
What I am wondering is what RPG's or action RPG's have speech in them? I
think the linear talking parts are good, like watching a 60 hour long movie
that you get to take part in! Reading the text doesn't give you the same
feeling. I recently started playing Dark Cloud 1 and it feels "old".....
Thanks in advance!
Paula

Of the action/adventure style RPGs:

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance has good voice acting, but the story and amount
of speech are minimal.

Drakan The Ancients' Gates has excellent voice acting, albeit a bit
pretentious and with English accents. The length and depth of story and
amount of speech are all decent.

Grandia series has voice acting, but it was too childish for my liking.

Primal's voice acting is split down the middle. The main character Jen is a
clueless, angsty teenager that grates on your nerves. However, her side
kick Scree is voice acted by Andreas Katsoulous (G'Kar in Babylon 5) and is
superb.

It's kind of funny in the Wraith realm when Jen refers to the sword
carrying Wraith as Xena, considering the one doing Jen's voice played
Calisto on the show.

Lunar2: Eternal Blue has talking for the movies. IIRC, it was really a good
job that they did. But then again the Working Designs team do an amazing job

Getting a bit OT now, but did you see what was written on the tombstone?

Is it that bad? I had some high hopes for a series revival.
