I never said "new and innovative translates to fully voiced". And if I did I don't even believe it so I take it back. I take it all back, these words I never even said.

Has Yoshi not said that they are trying to bring FFXIV up to standard? Recent interview suggest as much. But the problem is that the upcoming MMOs are setting a new standard in terms of questing-quality which perhaps SE will fail to live up to. Voice-overs are merely one feature which SE may overlook if focusing on bringing FFXIV up to the standards of the past. Dynamic questing is also on the rise (both GW2 and Secret World have something like this). Again, SE may overlook this.

I hope you see my point and appreciate the gravity of what's happening at SE. If they make the decision to bring FFXIV up to WoW's standards and then call it a day (which would be an impossible achievement at the rate they are going), then it will not be enough. Not even close.

Much more effort is needed.
