Poll: Who reads all of the quest text, main scenario only, voice acting only, or none

[Cigaran]

Put me down for 'All the quest text.'

[Velox]

I read all the quest text for all quests initially. If it's a repeat quest like a leve or daily, I'll skip it the second time onward.

I only care about the voice acting ones.

I'm not going to claim I know the difficulty around making most things voice animated, since they need to pay voice actors to do the job, but the fact that most of the scenarios in this game have no voice, it makes me feel like it's lazy. So if they're lazy to add voice to the story, I'm lazy to read it as well.

...wow.

First of all, it's actually an immense amount of work to add in voice acting and it's done months in advance (I believe Yoshi said all the voiced parts for 2.4 were finished ~2 months ago). There's nothing "lazy" about it. It's time-consuming, needs to be planned out well in advance, and costs a decent chunk of money.

On a sidenote, your blind assumption about a process you know nothing about is really immature.

Not to mention I screencap all of it too, a habit I started in FFXI, as I've kind of made it a little project of mine to compile screenshots of quests and dialogue into a coherent narrative at a later date.

So happy to know I'm not the only one who does this It started in 1.0 for me when it was becoming evident the world was going boom. So I would screenshot nearly everything to use for a slideshow project and record every cut scene and event I did and use them as a video memory diary ^o^

1.0 taught me to take nothing for granted in story cos it can be something that's here today and gone tomorrow.

[Sparktacus]

I skip nearly everything cuz I get a bit impatient or bored when walls of text fly at me nonstop. I will stop usually for story quests if its a key cutscene or something really engaging, but those aren't too common.

[Gramul]

I generally only skip levequest text and dungeon cutscenes.

[HReincarnate]

I read everything unless it's something I've seen before (dailies).

[Almalexia]

I read every scrap of irrelevant NPC chatter and arcane item description I can find. Localization team is A+++.

VA is terrible. I read the dialog box and skip the rest. Sorry voice doods.

[Dyne_Fellpool]

I usually read almost all the dialogue. Sometimes I skip it for things like Levequests.
Repeatables I only read the first time (usually) unless I feel like idk what is going on.

And My Enki often wonders WHY I refer to her as OUR "Encylopedia Eorzea". Love you, sweetheart. <3 ^^
