Get the mics warmed up - 2.0: you're going to need voice acting

For those who thought VA won't affect content development

Do you want 2.0 to be similarly delayed to 2019?

I'm not sure how this would mean VA's for XIV would create much delay?
First and foremost we do not know how the two company operate. Secondly STOR is fully VA'd, XIV isn't looking to do that. Third he was saying they've planned content out and he's testing them with text first, you don't really need VA to test out content. All this means is they have a good process in adding new content, make sure content is good to go before VA's added, the way it should be.

I don't see anything in this interview's context that would say 'it'd take a year to do VA's' or something similar.

I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion. First of all, the contents in SWTOR are clearly delayed not by testing (really, a whole year to test those stuff and then delay patch some more when patch time come? They delayed the latest patch FYI just a day or two before the date. They promised the next patch will be big contents as well, for some reason this sounds like the promise of DCU one patch a month). Why do you think it's not on public test server huh? And why do you think the problems they identified in public test server delayed their first big patch? You would be lying if you think internal server is enough to make contents good to go, it isn't. VA delayed the timing it get on public test server, thus delaying the timing it get released.

Secondly, you all complain at the pace SE churning out contents, and then you boldly declare VA won't affect the speed at which SE is churning out contents. Funny, it all comes down to money. SWTOR has a budget wildly ranging from lol 80m to lol 500m. I don't know if SE can afford that, after all some people are claiming the brand is dead, SE is in dire financial situation blah blah.
