Just speak normal like in other ff titles. Why do we need lame badly spoken high school play in out xiv? Who thought that was good? I dunno. I hate it. It's why I just go full anime and put it in Japanese.
    It's not Earth, so it shouldn't be able to represent any span of language save the most standard and contemporary vernacular, even when having characters whose language would almost certainly vary in some part from the regionally standard, contemporary, or most "common" register?

    Also, other FF titles... have used strange, almost "hip hop" slang at times. That kind of variance has been one of its reoccurring charms.

    ...Maybe they should stop wearing any varied clothing as well?...

    - points to my very last reply here.- You'll find my answer there. but just incase... I don't like the voice acting in ARR. I feel the voice direction was bad so I put it in japanese. It just sounds better now.

    Is that ARR specifically? or does that include HW to ShB as well? Just curious, since the voice acting from HW to (especially) ShB has improved massively. I still miss Urianger and Merlwyb, but dang the current cast of voice actors are fantastic. The range of accents is really nice, too.

    I wouldn't know, because I changed the settings in ARR because I couldn't stand. So if it improved I honestly couldn't tell you.
