It is like when two self-important and pretentious people are having a conversation with each other.
It pretty much IS two self-important and pretentious people having a conversation with each other.

Genesis was a giant cunt amongst a big cast of cunts in a game made by cunts who just want to milk a franchise for every last penny. Every line of dialogue he spoke game made me want to shove shards of broken glass into my eyes.
This, basically:
Genesis is by far the worst. He's the proto-Sephiroth, which would make him the main villain though I guess he isn't supposed to be seen as a villain because he used to hang with Angeal and Sephiroth. They were like the Snap, Crackle and Pop of Shinra before Genesis went nuts, commanding an army of clones and killing people and doing whatever. He's, like, tragic or something. Or he would be if he didn't suck and wasn't annoying. Every time he shows he spouts horrendous quotes from Loveless, a fake play in the world of FF7.

what are people's thoughts on a more... setting-accurate dialogue? for example, using more formal dialogue or words like "ye" for a medieval setting instead of "hey, what's up?" lol
If you're in a Medieval setting, historically-accurate dialogue would end up being stuff the audience wouldn't even recognize. See: Canterbury Tales.
Also, nothing's worse than Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe)

Hahaha, yeah, agree on both counts. I remember working at the ren faire for three years (as a musician, not an actor or vendor). My best friend/partner in crime/harpist and I came up with the three ways that faires most commonly "pastify" words (hint: don't use these).
1) Ye Olde ________
2) Adding unnecessary 'e's
3) Davinci's ________
In fact, the only thing you can't pastify using these three "tricks" is the word "future." Think about it. :P

I'll bet they pronounce "ye" with a "y" sound too when standing in for "the", despite the fact that it's just a weirdass alternate spelling of "the" (see the linked article, it explains it) in the first place.
People have an odd perception of linguistic history and assume that people spoke the same English during the Medieval period (which was actually a very long time, with a lot of variation in language) and Elizabethan times, that it was called "Middle English", and that it sounds like Shakespeare, when in reality, Shakespearean-style English was Early Modern English, and Middle English was basically another (yet similar) language.
What's worse is when they call the Shakespearean/Faux-Medieval stuff "Old English". You don't want to try reading Old English. It's barely recognizable.

Unless you know German... I bet Feld could probably know his way around old english, because it's way more germanic than what we've got now.

Yeah, but the kind of "Germanic" it's derived (mostly) from is still the kind that was around several hundreds years ago, not what's around today.
Some of the first lines of Beowulf, pulled from wikipedia:
Hwæt! w? G?r-Dena in ge?r-dagum,
þeod-cyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorl. Syððan ærest wearð
