Hardcore & Casual - Not for Square, they should focus on the base they have built which enjoy hardcore grind being that they have shown trying to cater to both results in confusion thus catering to extreme masochists.

Voice acting - Cut scenes have them, but if you want quest text to be read their is no way all that could fit on PS3, and as most have said here it will be rejuvenating life force of this game *cough*...

Crafting - No comment.
