By the way, south americans don't really want representation, they only want a quality product, their money's worth. They already play this game for what it is, and that should be enough. Half assing representation for the sake of it begat this kind of subpar results in quality. I pray that XIV never gets spanish localization. If they start using gender neutral language, a low tier VA will be just a drop in a sea of cringe.

Oh god that twitter post is weapons grade cringe, calling on other VAs to step down from roles and targetting them because of their gender identity.

Uhhh? I thought Varshahn sounded fine? Same with Zero. It was Zero's insufferable personality and constant fedora tipping that annoyed me.

This is much more people that is judgemental that makes fuss about this...

Wuk Lamat is absolutely awesome, cute as heck as well... and strange in a way that is just loveable... and even makes one go like what.. a few times.. I think she is awesome and also what this game is needing.

Embrace new things and new ways... I mean I for once don't like Alphinaud, Estinien or Emett Selch... and makes me question them, however I tolerate them and know they play a role as well that is important.

...siding with Alisaie when Alphi is drowning somewhere and she will be saying its nothing about him or something.

"Embrace low quality voice acting guys, this is what this game needs !!"

also I promise you, she's not going to give you a pat on the head for your posts defending her

There was so much criticism over this, but when I played through 6.55 the thing I actually minded least was the voice acting. It was a bit awkward, but it feels like the kind of awkwardness that would be fixed by just... playing the role more. It sort of reminded me of how in Final Fantasy 10, the voice actors (VA) are really really scuffed at the start, but you can kind of tell by the end of the first act or whenever it is that Auron gets introduced, that lots of the VAs are getting into their roles and finding their footing. Out of all the things I take issue with in 6.55, the voice acting is the one area where I'm actually hopeful that it'll get better with time, practice, and feedback. Sorta saw it with all the prominent characters in 6.55. These are characters who don't get much screentime in general, let alone much voiced screentime. So I noticed Krile sounding really robotic and stilted, like the VA for her just needs to sorta warm up a bit. And I noticed it with Erenville as well. And with Wuk too. But I genuinely think this is an area where we'll see improvement over time if the VAs listen to feedback -- even if it's just from other VAs on staff.

The actual story writing leading into this, though....... idk, man. If we're going to be inserting ourselves into a steppe style tournament where the winner seizes control of a nation, I think it required more buildup than a .5 patch.

Mao agrees. If gonna be contest between differents groups Scions, Mao wants some build ups so Mao can get ready to burninate Thancred. After way hims treated Ryne for so long in ShB, Mao plannings to scortch hims butt. Now maybe Devs will give official excuse for Mao to go after hims.

This is all just writing and has nothing to do with the voice acting performance. You can say the same about the character in any voice over language. We're talking specifically about the performance.

Hmmm, not really. This is more directed at your general negativity here and elsewhere. How it seems to be targeting the posters themselves, rather than just the VA (which is fine if you do not think their voice work was good/fantastic).

Like someone could say one thing defending the VA, not quoting you at all or even talking about you (they could be talking about the tags in their thread) and then you'd swoop in and post something looking like you were personally attacked.
