Thats untrue there was a case where a addon for wow (until they banned its use) did it perfect and it was made by a outside team without any incoming money lol. Yes if they rush it it would screw with the synthetic but if they take there time it wouldn't at all lol not to the noticeable ear unless the person is in a band playing instruments it goes unoticed lol

Also ps you don't even need voice actors any more alot of programs can create real voices just by pitch,tone and depth scales lol

Yeah, that's why every Hollywood movie uses it for dubbing for non English speaking consumers... ...oh, wait.

It is true that after ARR it gets better up until current expansions.

But what of new players? The game is heavily story based. I managed to read most of the narratives for MSQ and blue quests. Coming in knowing that it is very story driven.And I myself , am fairly new . And i quit so many times because it became a chore to have to read read read ..if they had voice acting to begin with , why not keep having it. why cut off on so many dialogue. sounds to me like lazy work...
The story is freaking good, but the reading and reading makes it a pain in this generation. and it sucks because the story actually make you more connected to the world. Sure many quest are tedious as well but if they make going through the Narratives tedious too , that's like doubled the amount of tediousness.
I asked so many of my friends to come play , and join in the game ...and when i told them about it and that it's story driven , story is really good but you have to read a lot...that directly became a turn off.
So to sum it short, in this generation, the lack of voice acting in MMOs can easily be a turn off, especially if its a story driven mmo.

I mean FF14 is as popular as ever ..over 18 million players sure, no body is denying that the game is great. I just feel it can be even better and easier for new comers to get in the game ; not just Final Fantasy fans but people looking for a good mmorpg to play and never really dived in a final fantasy game before.


Another point is Remastering some textures and graphics is very doable. to keep up with today's standard. it really is just some of the environments that needs remastering.

And of coarse , there are many other things that can make the game better and should be priorities if you look at it from veteran player's point of view. but I am mainly aiming at new player or noobs like me trying to hold on and keep playing the game. Sometimes all that is needed is to just make it look and feel a little bit fresh again..that why i mainly mention voice acting or voice over or whatever...and Graphical upgrades ( textures of the ground, foliage, environmental textures, add some more better weather effects,...etc ) pretty sure nowadays technology and hardware should permit it.

the jump potions are always there if people can't be bothered to play for the story.

Remastering textures could be doable yes but is it cost efficient/worth the time to take away from the regular updates the game gets? there will 100% be longer delays in between patches to accommodate for this. i don't think most people will go for that.

One thing thats more of a quality of life thing is fix the tank stance so it does not disable when you level sync I forget to turn it on every time I get synced and honestly its really stupid it removes it upon level sync lol

Personally, I want more meaningful open world content in future expansions outside of FATE's and Hunts.

I agree that working on upgrading graphics in some capacity would be beneficial to the game going forward, even if they just added optional high resolution textures and HDR.

Level sync does that with all abilities though - it's to keep level sync relevant by not being able to 'cheat' it having access to abilities and spells that aren't normally available at that level (SE did the same thing with FFXI when level sync was introduced there too).

For instance the GLA/PLD tank stance Iron Will was originally gained at a much higher level when it was called Shield Oath (early 40s if I remember rightly) and thus at the time it was probably just easier to have level sync deactivate all buffs by default as a fail-safe every time lvl sync was activated than having the game manually check to see if that ability was available to be used at the level of that content, a time consuming and complex thing to implement, so it's little wonder they went with the easier option.

Hence I don't see them changing this I'm afraid.
