I know it should be a very expensive idea, but I like how voices can make the battles be even better. One of the reasons I like the last battle of Rabanastre is because this. If possible there is a way to put voices in all raid/trial contents. (Could it includes Exdeath?)

I don't think so. We already have things like "SLOPPEH!" and "SICKNESS MUST BE PURGED" that are practically memes. Could you imagine if every fight had that nonsense?

You make it sound like memes aren't the best reason to have dubbed bosses.

I'm still here waiting on getting Ifrit voiced, which hasn't been heard since the beginning trailers for ARR. :/

Personally I'm a big fan of the boss voice lines. Besides adding some flavor and some life to the boss, it also provides a nice audio cue for what's about to happen.Quote:

As someone who finds audio cues really helpful, I would love to have more bosses voiced. The noises often get drowned out, but it's easier to pick out voice lines in a fight.

I have to agree about the voices becoming audio cues for moves, and liking them. Argath in Rabanastre has certain phrases that almost guarantee what his next move is, especially when it comes to his “judgement” move.
That and who doesn’t chuckle when they make an error on the battlefield and all you can hear is that voice in your head, yelling out “Sloppeh!!” -
01-09-2018, 07:28 AMZojha
Egh, depends.
It's nice to allow the boss a say every now and again, but if they use it on abilities they regularly rotate, it gets annoying just as fast as those people that macro their OGCD abilities with a RP line and sound effect >_> -
01-09-2018, 08:01 AMAyasaki128
one of the reasons I like World of Final Fantasy so much is because they had dub in every line in the game, every random NPC. Have to mention the good story, good soundtrack too, but having dub in everything was something excellent, that game was a masterpiece imo.
Ok I can understand this game need deal with 4 languages, but still... -
01-09-2018, 08:05 AMCyrilLucifer
Some battles would definitely benefit from it. Nabriales, for example, desperately needs it.
I don't think -all- battles should be dubbed, but major story battles moving forward would be nice. Especially when they hint at specific mechanics (like what should have been done with Nael, or what was done with Susano). -

I still don't know how a simple taunt got flanderized into SLOPPEH. There's barely any force behind the word and comes off more as snide than bombastic like our dear friend in The Vault. Heck I don't even hear the similarity in how he says it to how people spell it but that could just be me not having fun with it

I came from another game where I relied heavily on sound cues to anticipate attacks. Switching over to ffxiv was pretty jarring for a bit but I adapted. I personally would welcome dubbing in battles, but there’s always the budget issues so...
Something interesting I found out, the inner/outer flood of naught in o4s has slightly different sound effects, saved my ass so many times when those mechanics always comes after a great flash from another attack and making it so it's difficult to see what the boss is casting. -
01-09-2018, 04:23 PMJunseiKeiThat line really irritates me. He says something along the lines of "not bad" in a sarcastic tone in Japanese. Do we not have voice actors for English that can be sarcastic? I don't remember what Charibert says, I just remember "mouu" (sound of displeasure/whining). :| Localization =/= translating D: we need more translating in this game!Quote:

They might be fun the first couple times you hear them, but keep in mind we usually are made to run these fights dozens of times. The boss shouting "SICKNESS MUST BE PURGED!" every other mechanic gets annoying really fast.

01-09-2018, 05:04 PMCakekizyyI was annoyed before first run ended.Quote:

I would like this. It does make the battles feel a little more engaging.

01-10-2018, 01:51 AMVstarstruckThe H sound is soft, people type "SLOPPEH" to repesent it because he elongates the Y sound and even increases pitch midway saying the Y sound..Quote:

I actually really do enjoy Zenos' lines in his fight, and Susano's lines make that fight so much fun for me. I have to resist the urge to say the line along with him when he shouts 'WILD AND PURE AND FOREVER FREE!" :P

While I agree that I do like the voice acted battles, I'm pretty sure a QA with Yoshida about it would look like this:
Quote:
Interviewer: There are many icon battles in XIV that have wonderful voice acting that adds to the experience of the fights. Can we look forward to more battles including this in the future?
Yoshida: Voice acting is really expensive, even for a few small lines, so if we were to include more of those then we would need to take money from other places which could negatively impact the development of other content.
Interviewer: So what you're saying is you'd need more money.
Yoshida: Hai.

I loved being told to "DIE! DIE! DIE!" fighting that boss. It is still enjoyable for me to hear.

Some of the most memorable fights in the game are voice acted. Niddhog screaming at us in Dravanian, for example. Susano goes without saying. Even Sophia/Zurvan, though easy and badly designed, respectively, had fantastic voice lines.
I would love more voice acted boss fights but I understand the limitations. -
01-10-2018, 04:37 AMalimdiaIf they get a bigger budget I would prefer if it went towards more content / better content over more voiced lines.Quote:

The human mind reacts faster to audio signals then visual signals, so I would appreciate more voice acting wherever it's applicable.
Dodging Nael's AoEs in Ultimate would likey be easier if she actually said her quotes instead of them just appearing in a text bubble. -
01-10-2018, 04:48 PMTizzy_Tormentor
I do very much enjoy almost all the voiced battle lines in the game, plenty of them are delivered well, yet have a lot of room for jokes and japes.

More budget does not mean it will go towards adding more voiced lines or more content for the players, for all we know if they had bigger budget, they might have spend it on creating more mogstation items.
On-topic: I dont think they go back and add voiced lines to the bosses, but from 4.3 and beyond, voiced lines would be awsome.
