More Quests (Story quests ESPECIALLY) should be fully or partially voice-acted depending on what it is.
Not every side quest should be (but a few 1-liners etc) would help breath immersion/life into the world.
Story Quests were a huge let down & tease. When i first started i really expected more voice acting.
I understand the development cost/time for this. I would at least like to see this addressed a bit more once the game is in a comfortable state.
Quests should be VOICE ACTED or in the future!

Well it doesn't necessary all quest need to be voice acted. But I do think the main story quest need to be all voice acted. It was disappointing to see only part of it is voice acted.

I so agree SE said that the main storyline would be voice over on key points that you need to know what going on so far the one that are voice over does not give that much information. When there a new pack for this game all the storyline should be voice over not only parts of it.
SE: Please make all main storyline voice over and only sidequest voice over if they have a key information on the main storyline,. -

EW no thanks.
It was horrible enough to endure the super British intro.
Quests need CUTSCENES badly. Like XI had with their own music. -

i like vo's ...my fav games right now are fallout new vegas and fo3 was great too, every single thing is vo'd in that game, outside u'rself talking to them. granted if it's a long one or u can read it faster i might click threw but most of it i'm listening to and it's awsome that way.
all the talk about vo's back b4 launch made me picture so much more and theres nothing to it. very weak amounts. though it made me smile hearing some of the voices to the characters alot. they need more of that, ones in the city that talk just by walkin by them and the such. specially the lala's lol. -

I agree I was a little dissapointed with the amount of voice overs in the main quests, I expected alot more than there is.

I can live without it, most voice actors bother me.

I think the main story quests should, but for other quests I can't see that as something that's needed, but then again, hearing a little bit of talk would be a welcome change of pace, as in you run up to the NPC and they say "hello". This could also go very badly, so perhaps we'll see more of this in an expansion. :)

As much as i would love this, i think that the amount of time and effort needed to do this could be better used.
Add in more sidequests, more dungeons, instances etc. -

I looked through the (english)cast on IMDB that they have listed for this game and saw many names I liked and definitely wouldn't mind hearing more of, especially in the main mission cutscenes. It was such a bummer finding most of the missions so silent. It feels like they just kinda gave up on the idea of voicing them, especially after the intro movie and the first scenario. For those who, for whatever reason, don't like the voices, perhaps an additional slider could be added to the audio to allow voices to be muted during cutscenes.
I think idle chatter and banter that doesn't trigger a cutscenes should remain text-only though. -

As it is now both seem fine, Voices are Perfect(great casting) and Voiceless is Good(using imagination). Of course more of both is always a plus, so no worries. :)
And maybe there should also be an Option Setting to which between Voice Languages if and when more voice actors are implied. I'd love to here from many different sides (Japanese, English, Français, Deutsches ) and our different Ascents we have going for everyone of the same Language; [example: 5 different types of English, 5 different types of Japanese, 5 different types of Français, 5 different types of Deutsches]. -

I agree on quests needing voiceovers. They are too bland compared to the intro sequences of each starting points.
That's what I think too - since we only have limited voice options anyway, they could use them to voice our characters. My guess on why they didn't is probably because the character voices were made by Japanese actors and some of them might not have the proficiency to speak English well?Quote:

Even if they were, you could still stream the audio from the BD.Quote:

It's not a priority but I hope they do add some more voice overs into FFXIV
