Oh dear, she was Rainbow Brite? Eep! I merely agreed with that tag because - as I said - Elena sounded to cartoony-cute.
RLC did pretty good in my opinion, I did have a momentary thought that her voice was too high for how I imagine Tifa but I also had the exact same feeling when I first watched the japanese dub too.
The phrase "dilly dally" is not too bad on it's own because - as I have seen some people say - it's a phrase that already exists, but I personally think the "shilly shally" half of it is the really stupid bit. Those aren't even words as far as I know, they should have just repeated "dilly dally" four times instead, it may have cut the daftness down by a third at least (it'd still be daft, but as daft).
I have heard Cid's voice was worse in KH2 - I have also heard Aerith was too so I think KH2 was the learning curve for both. I haven't heard KH!Cid though, and I only heard one very short line from Aerith in a video interviewing Mena Suvari and she sounded just as "airy" there.
Maybe part of my reaction against Suvari is that I see Aeris as mostly very down-to-earth and Suvari doesn't make her sound like that at all.
I have never heard Nooj's voice. Hell, I didn't even know Nooj had the same voice! That's going to make playing X-2 fun (when I eventually get it).
