FFXIV Forums Rule Guideline as per Community:

You're not allowed to:

1.) Dislike FFVII.
2.) Dislike FFXIV's direction
3.) Disagree with anyone.
4.) Like FFXI
5.) Suggest anything from FFXI even though recent update has a fair bit of FFXI data imported into it and modifed.
6.) Like Tanaka's ideas
7.) Disagree with it becoming a WoW clone
8.) Point out flawed arguments about SE copying x,y but not allowed to copy a,b yet FFIII and FFVI copying is in full effect.
9.) Nitpick anything a member personally like or be told you're living in the past/under a rock.

Personally, I don't care for the voice, that wasn't really the whole point to the trailer, showing off the "transition" was the main purpose.

The trailer was cool enough to give me the chills. I don't feel this sensation in some good years already with games.

It was a little fast paced. So much detail packed into such a short trailer. Hopefully we'll be seeing more of those bits and pieces of FMVs that were mashed together.

The voice acting seemed fine to me. It was very eastern but that's not a bad thing.

SE needs the Feedback. Okay sure.. but this Voice acting thing lead to three other pointless threads.

Either way VA was awesome to me.. drawed me into it.. I watched it 10 times already.. Behemoth on the Snowy hill... was epic!

They are not overreacting. And I totally agree with. SE , for not showing it a E3. Because of obvious reasons. At least they got it right. The voice acting wasn't on par with the epic trailer. I'm sure that they will get it right by the time 2.0 launches for real.

I would have been fine with the Japanese audio with English subs. Bad English voice acting really puts me off, when watching anime I only watch dubbed if there is no other option. (Funimation has some really terrible voice actors).

SE ISnt stupid, but some points gotta be made about voice acting. A trailer narrator, needs a great VA. They need to ace it. Second, all important people at the game, needs a great VA. Ex; emperor, white and black raven, lousioux, Cid, etc..

This guy that did the trailer VA, would be ok for a non important person. For a narrator he fails.

It's a bit perplexing considering the quality performances by (most) of the voice actors in FFXIII.. Even the really whiney and annoying characters *cough*vanille*cough*emo/wristsboy*cough* were acceptable, IMO.

SE: If you have great voice actors that can speak English Fruentry, by all means go for it. I'm sure most of the community would understand and could care less if you had to resort having only Japanese audio.. Please stop insulting us with this.. voice acting that is barely passable.

Just put starlord on blacklist and you won't see those comments anymore since he's like the only one who says it, repeatedly.
