Voiceless cutscenes

Ok, so this game doesn't have full (or even close) voice acting for cutscenes. I'm sure that isn't going to change, but I feel like something should change in them. They just seem so unnatural, I can hardly focus on what is going on. I feel like I am watching underwater or something. Maybe at least add some sound effects (like in the emotes). It is just unnatural to see such detailed animation to text along with music that doesn't seem to go with the scene at all. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something just feels wrong with them and I feel they need to rethink how they are presented. Even XI's cutscenes seemed more natural.

Adding full voices to all cutscenes would be awesome. But I think your right: It'll never happen. I played other mmos that did have semi-full voice acting and its really easy to get used to them being there. I guess its like watching old silent movies if your used to todays standards.
I think that adding sound effects to all cut scenes would take close to the same effort as putting in voices. So might as well go all the way, right? :D I don't know about the rest of you, but Id be willing to spend 2-4 hours downloading 20GB patch if it meant full voice acting. ^^.

Yes please !!
I mean i understood that FF XI could not technically have voices but here it is kinda a shame.

There is fives different type of cutscenes :
1) CG (like the intro) [with voices]
2) Cutscenes like movies (really cool) [with voices]
3) Cutscenes Ingame [without voices]
4) Focus talks [without voices]
5) Normal talks [without voices]

I know its heavy to put in place but I am not asking them to make all fives types with voices nor asking more cutscenes of type 2 but only to add voices to type 3.

The interface goes away and with the moving of the camera, the standard actions like emote and walking and the sounds and music, and voices,you can make great cutscenes.

I think its really important because :
- a lot of people don't like to read and if you want to reach certain types of players to force them to follow the story
- the lore and world and background are great but the storyline and major npcs are not put enough in front (although they are so cool)
- and for a game of that importance (a p2p 2011 mmo on pc\ps3 with that much outstanding graphics), its a shame to have also so much voice acting and its even weird actually

I am not asking too much : just refocus on the type 3 cutscenes (there are not that much) and add voices, even without precise lips and using the same actors) :'(

I personally think these cutscenes are FAR better than those in XI.
Nothing is more annoying than having to check your chat-log for the dialog yuck.
