the LoK series remains the high watermark for VA as far as I'm concerned

Stopped being Lazy, and looked this stuff up. Going off individual performances that I remember:

In Silent Hill, James (Guy Cihi), Maria (Monica Horgan), Heather (Heather Morris), Eileen (Anna Kunnecke). I feel like the VA in Silent Hill 1 could have been great, but the dialogue was just too awkward to work with (due to translation). Particularly, Harry (Michael G), Cybil (Susan Papa), and perhaps Lisa (Thessaly Lerner).

In Siren's case, the VA were the actors. Okamoto Natsuki as Miyako and Hosokawa Seika as Reiko. In the British version, Hisako Yao is somewhat memorable (VA?). I would probably have to replay Siren 2 to make up my mind. But I'm inclined to think: Yuri, Kanae, etc (Takahashi Mai), Misawa Takeaki(Pierre Taki), Souji (Nakamura Eiji), Shuu (Nakaizumi Hideo).

Xenosaga's KOS-MOS (Bridget Hoffman), Albedo (Crispin Freeman), Ziggy (Richard Epcar), and perhaps Jr (Brianne Siddall).
 
Troy Baker is pretty alright. Laura Bailey is solid. Liam O'Brien is good too. But I can't not love James Hong for his work on Diablo 3 as Covetous Shen.
 
Even her name matches up but oh my god her voice was so, so good.

Some really good casting choices in FFXII, some people found Fran's voice annoying but I found her accent utterly enchanting.

If there was ever a race of Amazonian rabbit women, that is what they would sound like. Had never heard an accent like hers before.
 
Roger Craig Smith <3 I absolutely love his voice
Udo Schenk, he's the German voice of Raziel in Soul Reaver 2 which for me sounds even better than the English one.
Troy Baker has a nice voice, too
Jennifer Hale as female Shepard, I wish my voice would sound like hers.
 
Nolan North - Having met the bloke he's an incredibly nice and charismatic guy. He's also really bloody good at his job.
 
Earl Boen as Ghost Pirate Le Chuck
Jim Cumming as anyone (skyrim as an example)

There are a few more but that's what I can think of right now :O
