Title: What did you think the best addition to the game was

For me, I hugely enjoyed the translation and the voice acting was better than anything square had done previously. Sadly we only enjoyed the amazing voice acting a few times ):

I think the new sidequests were cool. Everything else I think was a step down (didn't like the cutscenes... in-game machinima cutscenes were pretty awesome) or crappy (new jobs/characters were lame).

I loved everything about WotL except for the random addition of the Onion Knight, Dark Knight was a decent choice. I honestly don't think that there are any new effects, only recolors that were used for the Dark Knight's skills.

The cutscenes rank it upon the best art in a video game I've seen, the voice acting was top notch, who knew that the man who voice acted Hermes in Futurama could do such an amazing job voice acting a 16 year old noble?

Delita has that perfect mix of sympathy and snake-in-the-grass in his delivery, I forget what his VA had done previously.

And of cousre Kari Wahlgren gives a terrific performance (returning once again to play a Princess of Ivalice) as Ovelia, such sympathy is played from her, and her delivery is far from Ashe in XII.

And on a random note... Phil LaMarr really stretches his VAing muscles to show that he can play a soft innocent like Ramza yet give a (two line) awe inspiring voice for Zalmo.

I completely agree! Delita's VA (Robin Atkin Downes is by far my favorite VA ever. Everything I see him perform in, his performance is top notch, this time voicing my favorite video game character (tied with Wiegraf of coarse XD)

lol Ive been wondering who did the voice of Zalmour

My only disappointment with the voice acting, is that there needed to be more of it! I wanted the Knights Templar to have VA'ing. I mean, of coarse not every scene needed the Cell Shaded + Voice Acting thing, but the important ones really needed it. Im almost furious that they didnt animate the ending with Delita and Ovelia... thats just a dumb mistake on their part. They easily could of added more. Of coarse, we all know how little Square could care about this game so I know why they didnt do it ):

Well I agree, I had really hoped personally that the Duel with Wiegraf or the Wiegraf/Belias transformation would have been an animated cutscene. Another disappointment to me was that Zalbag turning against Dycedarg was not given a cutscene. It was a shame that none of the Shrine Knights were given animated cutscenes, especially Vormav. Though I think their choice with the ending, from what I read was that it was a tribute to the surprise ending, where Delita kills Ovelia.

Yeah I agree... heres to Square being too lazy to get more than 6 voice actors for the game lol. I really wanted to hear what Folmarv would sound like XD

While I enjoyed just about every change made to the game, some enhancements stand out more than others.
The fact that this is portable is a huge one for me.  I typically only get a few minutes here and there in which I can play games, I know that FFT can be made portable for use on the psp, it doesn't have the right resolution.  I've played for years and did indeed play for a few years with the psx version on my psp, until WoTL came out.
I like the language change most out of the other enhancements, it really helps to set the mood, and really helped to cement the story for me.  I played for years and had a decent knowledge of what was happening in the game, but the language was a bit dry and uninviting, the change was hugely noticeable to me.
I know it's lame, but I like animated cutscenes.  I feel like I paid good money for a good game, and want to be rewarded with good graphics, this also ties back in with my like of it being portable.  The voice acting is pretty cool, and it really works well with the animated cutscenes.
The new units are cool, new skills yeah alright i'll take those too.
The one thing that made me sad was the name change of the Orator class to Mediator.  It's small... and I've grown to accept it like fact.

By chance Mucus, do you mean vice-versa? In the PSX version the name is Mediator WotL changes it to Orator.

Other than the new scenes, being able to have 24 characters is amazing.
