Still feels like everyone is a mute

[giftforce]

So you'd rather they murmur one annoying phrase every single time you talk to them? Stuff like that is okay the first few times but with NPCs you talk to often it gets pretty annoying. The majority of conversations are text based, I'm sure anyone who's actually played more than the most recent FF are used to this.

The game isn't fully voiced nor was it ever advertised. Could they do it? Sure but it would take a lot of time and money they simply don't have and won't have any time soon. Could they add little flavor speech? Sure but again time and money they simply don't have right now.

I'm not sure what you mean with the monsters though. They seem to find it pretty offensive when you start beating on them with your weapon, expressed by them trying to MURDER you. Some of the monsters do have death/attack sounds also.

Well maybe they could have alternating expressions when you clicked on them so you didn't get bored. But really, how many times do you click on an NPC anyway. It's pretty hard for them to be repeating offenders when you're likely to never speak to an NPC more than once anyway besides the guildleve counter one (and that's probably about to change)

It just gets kind of boring running around in a world full of mutes.

And as for mobs, if you watch a video like this

you can tell that mob is angry. it's much more expressive than an FFXIV mob.

Also, maybe if SE chose to voice their NPCs it would stop their writers from being so verbose.
