Voice acting question

Has there been any word on the possibility of choosing your voice acting language?

I'd prefer to play with Japanese VA and English text if possible but I'm thinking it won't be doable if the language is directly tied to the client version.

I think Yoshi-p mentioned being able to choose from English, Japanese, German, and French.

I don't have a link, but I'm sure someone will.

For cutscenes in A Realm Reborn, we will be making it possible to select languages for the voices and subtitles other than what your game is set to via the in-game configuration. We are also looking into adding a voice volume adjustment feature where you could set it to 0 to completely turn off voices. Additionally, we are looking into making it possible to configure the sound settings for the character selection screen as well as the start screen.

Rukky thanks for the info! I can't help but ask a duh question but will the language and subtitles have their own options or are they tied together? ex. Japanese voice, English subtitles?

Hi Rukkirii,

Great news! :) Can't wait to play Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 with Original Japanese Voices with English Subtitles! :)

Finally! I can't stand English voice over. Japanese is way better 90% of the time.

I feel like going out on a limb and seeing how the German voice acting sounds like, they really nailed it on the trailers.

I've never understood your sig. Is that two characters that you play? Or..?

Both are mine. Click my name, view profile, and click Characters to see them both.

I just usually like making multiple characters in games based on my original ones I created.

The sig itself, I wanted something that was animated. No real thought put into it other than trying to keep the file size low. And the quote below is from Adventure Time. :D

so you can chose which language for your voice and which language you want to see in subtitles..
regardless which language you have switched on in your in-game configuartion for the rest of the game.
like watching a dvd..
