The Unofficial "Why is this still a thing" Thread

[LeoLupinos]

You can be rdm or sam once you hit 50 so that's not the whole msq. There was the voice actors strike to deal with and then Yoshida got told not to do anymore spendy cut scenes after a certain one from T12. Then there's at least four different languages you have to hire va's for. I'm not sure how it is for WoW or other F2P games in the number of other languages they do the va for. I also don't know how long after the woman who did do Yugiri's voice they took before finding a new person after her death. There is also the change to the cast somewhere around 2.55 and HW which again must have taken time and money.

I mean MSQ from 1 to 50, there's 285.
T12 is not MSQ. I'm asking to do Voice acting in the MSQ, from now on. They reduced significantly the quantity of MSQ since 50+. But still, players still need to complete 1 to 70 MSQ, and 1~50 MSQ does not reflect FFXIV 2018.

Honestly, most of the story cutscenes are voiced. And it's my understanding that WoW has a significantly larger budget than FFXIV. And like someone else said, 4 languages, a metric fuckton of story quests to voice. It would be expensive. And they trimmed a good deal of the filler quests between 1 and 50. It's not nearly as bad now.

Most of the MSQ cutscenes are NOT voiced. I remember all the reading that I've done. "Significant larger budget", man, voice actors are not bilionaire, there's a lot of voice actors, SE does not need to put George Newbern for every MSQ character. I'm asking only to fully voice act the cutscenes of MSQ, it's not that expensive as doing the sidequests too. And it does not matter how much MSQ they trimmed if we still need to complete them, only a revamp and removal of the filler ones would matter.

Most of my friends mentaly are: No voice? Then it's worth skiping. If even the Devs decided to not voice act this cutscene, that's just because it isn't worth the investiment, so not wirth my time then = skip.
