I want my voice!

[Elamys]

I'd rather just get the option to preview my combat grunts and yells at character creation. I picked a voice I liked and was aghast when I started leveling bard to hear how...bad the combat voice was.

I think it could happen if the game was only dubbed in japanese. I think about the game Saints row where we can pick a voice and it is voice acted entire game, but a game where we need 4 voices for each character, well...

exactly, just as you dont know what your sub money goes to, neither do I, but im pretty sure that SE can afford to pay their VAs.

Way to ignore the second half of my post.

What content would you be willing to give up for voice lines?

i already do via my paying for the entire game through my sub.
I dont care who SE pays or not for it, I'd rather have a hearable voice in some (not even all) CS, or that they just remove the option entirely.

This is a double edged sword, since you say you don't care, but we all know if it happens you and the entire player base will. How many people have you heard, this person sucked, why did they pick them, the other guy was better, this language is better. It's all the same language is language, and while admittedly some people perform better than others, it's your knowledge or lack of knowledge that makes something "cool". A lot of "English" speakers like to use Asian character/words cause they think it's cool, its really not; likewise a lot of Asian speakers like to use English words cause they think its cool; why do you think the spells are literally called Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Protect, Care(Cure)?

Unlike in America, where we pay out VA's a pittance, they deserve better quite honestly, Voice Acting in Japan is a big industry. So basically, it's can you afford Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr. or Tara Strong and John DiMaggio, who are two big named American VA's but would get a fraction of the pay for 4x the work. Now I am no expert so I won't make like it's bad for full on American VAs but for Anime Dubbers, it is far worse.

Not difficulty to solve. Just put 4 actors for warrior of light male voice on the 4 languages and do the same with the female, so we got 4 actress. And then we use the voice option on game just for emotes. And people need to stop saying ''not gonna happen'' for good idead and things that be a must on every RPG. Bye.

Ha you funny. Sure lets do that, and watch the torches and pitchfork rise up. And I wouldn't say voices need to be on every RPG. Granted we've become accustom to them, but there are plenty o games that thrive on the bare minimum. I haven't played it, but Breath of the Wilds is the first Zelda game with a full voice cast, Link aside, and the Zelda franchise is usually labelled the number 1 franchise among video games. And it did all of that with little to nw voices.

I agree, that it is really irritating when in a cutscene the other characters have voices but ours is just moving their mouth. Would love to have a voice

Math is a bit off. 4 languages, 2 genders. Unless you want to pick out a very ambiguous voice that could go either way.

Actually, nah, let's go with one VA per language. But instead, let's make sure it's a voice wholly unsuited to every character. Is Richard Simmons available?

the same shitty grunts I've been getting all this time. Im pretty sure SE can afford it if they want to.

Why would I want hollywood actors in a japanese game? I'd much rather have someone from the 'world of VAs in games'who knows how to do game VA then *insert hollywood celeb whos totally unsuited for it* to do the job. And I'm talking about paying them the same wages as what the VA for Merlwyb, Alphie et. co gets paid, presuming its a fair pay. (I have no clue, I dont check these things)

Yeah, 8, but the point still the same.
