It's all changing in the future folks...and there will be voice acting for most of the new FUTURE stuff.

I really don't mind reading the wall of text in the cutscenes...I actually think it's rather well written being an avid writer myself.

It's not supposed to be in plain English. I don't know of any SE games since FF6 that have had normal conversation real type text. I wouldn't want that...to sound like you and I were talking. The whole way the text is written is very much in verse to immerse you into the atmosphere. It's poetic...It would be odd to change the writing style now...so let's just enjoy the rest of this storyline and look forward to 2.0.
