Yup, voice 7 was the first one I tested thinking it was the one. AHAHHAH so glad I made alts isntead of just yolo'ing it with my fantasia...I ended up going with voice 11 as the least offensive one.

Also voice 5 literally screams in combat which I thought was hilarious.

Dodged a bullet, went with 6. Nice and deep while also being relatively blunt. None of that air-y nonsense and definitely not what 7 is. Oof.

I don't remember what voice I picked for my test Viera but she started screaming about a second after each attack for some reason.

Dodged a bullet there, I was going to pick 7, but I didn't like the cheer voice, so I went with 5.

All of them are weird/overdone/insanely loud - at least those I managed to test before reaching my daily limit, which has kept me from rolling Viera yet.

Be sure to test your battle voice before gulping that potion!

Yeah, there seems to some kind of wierd delay on the battle voice sound, ( i picked voice 5 ) but well not that it matters to me as i never play with voice on so .. woho.

Yeah I wish you could turn off battle voices separately from emote voices because I generally don't mind emote voices.

Now I'm seriously considering going Viera just for voice 7. I can park myself on the practice dummy outside my FC house and leave it there all day when I'm at work.

Lol! That would be funny.

SE you owe me a Fantasia, I got voice 7 because I liked what I saw on the benchmark and I feel like I was lied to

seriously, hate this voice, but i'm not paying for another fantasia to change it.

I just bit the bullet and got another fantasia to change my voice. I was trying out Dancer and heard these weird sounds and thought I was having a stroke :x It's interesting hearing what other people think voice 7 sounds like, I legit thought it sounded like a man reacting to getting stabbed in the thigh ffff

And because of that it is better to do first an alt to make a testrun for the voices

Just confirmed it was a mistake.

OMG I'm laughing so hard it hurts. Those battle voices sound like an old woman having an orgasm for the first time in 20 years.

I picked voice 9 hated it but holy geez grandma. I'm so glad I didn't go with 7.

voice 5 here, i dont like the scream she does while dancing (it doesnt fit at all) but jeez, voice 7, omg lol but it seems to be there not so many good voices for the viera ;_; voice 5 sounds like she rips ur head off xD

I chose voice 9, and she sounds like she is really enjoying herself in combat with that voice. Luckily I play mostly casters so I don't have to hear it.

I went with voice 2 and while it isn't too bad in combat it doesn't really fit DNC. ._. I will try alts now with the voices to see if any other fits better, if not will just stay with 2.

Edit:
Not really convinced by almost all of them. 9 sounds fine emote wise but has an almost equally awful battle sound. Will probably go either 1 or 2.

Turns out its actually not suppose to sound like that.
They're working on it.

Sounds like the voice from Google Translate to me.

I picked voice 10 myself, I like all the sounds I've heard in the first day so far.

Don't remember which one I chose but the battle voice actually sounds pretty normal

All the attack voices sound honestly terrible. and it doesn't match the rest of the voice. Like they forgot to add the battle voice and had to quickly add it in.

It's not just that. Voices are inconsistent even within just emotes. There are so many voices that sound somewhat neutral most of the time and then they have super cutsy high pitches "yes" and very low angry amazon woman like "furious" at the same time. One of the voices I've tested had an angry "huh" and shocked sound for "happy". "Angry" doesn't have any mouth movement, yet, for a lot of voices we hear a scream.

It's as if they recorded a bunch of lines and then just applied them to different voices using random generator.

They're working on it.

The fact that they officially acknowledged this at all is hilarious to me. While they're at it, they really should re-record all of the Viera voices as they all sound pretty lackluster imho. I think my alt is voice 4 and the delay on that after attacking is really grinding my gears!

I had chosen 4 as well, but thanks to the OP's videos, bought a fantasia last night and switched.
I hated the delay in her battle-cry. Why yell after shooting? lol

Is 5 ok? (I'm stuck at work and can't check. I'm now worried lol)

*edit* just checked your other video and whew, its not all that bad, I can live with it

I have 5 and I like it a lot, but when I play as Dark Knight the battle voice is very repetitive, like, almost constant, and doesn't really sound like my character normally does. But when I play as Astro the noises happen less frequently, if at all. I remember my Au Ra's voice and it was awesome, it had a great sound and I had no issues with it what so ever.

fml I did pick voice 7, due to it sounding okay. But during battle I was like: WTF IS THIS...well another 7 bucks down the drain I guess to change that horrible voice...

Oh wait, so Squex knows of this issue and are going to adress it? Any eta for a fix? If so, I'm not going to waste another 7 bucks, because I actually like voice 7^^

Well, yeah. Tidus's laugh was supposed to sound terrible and forced at that point.
Viera's voices weren't supposed to sound terrible, so it's even more jarring XD

I haven't seen an ETA but I'm also not giving them more money to fix something they've deemed a bug.

People have been asking for battle sounds in the character creator for a long while, this just really drove it home.

Unfortunately for me, I was fooled by the fact that the viera voices in the previews were all hyur midlander voices, so I checked the available midlander battle voice videos (nobody had posted viera on early access day 1 of course, and I didn't want to waste an hour or two making alts to run around and test battle voices) and confirmed hyur 7 sounded totally fine alongside the emotes.

I still get people commenting on it nearly every dungeon run, I've started warning people to use /voice if it's bothersome when we first start up

I forgot to check which voice I had before I fantasia'd and good lord am I glad I didn't accidentally pick this voice

That said it is probably the funniest thing I've heard in a darn long time lmao
