Voice over competition suggestion

[MilkieTea]

The suggestion was for a competition. The "editing" or "morphing" is simply what free labor they accept. What they don't, we can assume was not to XIV's style.

Though I'd add that any such competition should be prefaced with a dialectal phonology guide for the various regions.

if OP didn’t want dissenting opinions they shouldn’t have asked “what do you think”. I think it’s unnecessary and wouldn’t work considering the scope of such a project.

At no point have I or the OP said there should be no dissenting opinions.

You said the results of any such competition would be impossible to "morph to FFXIV's style", yet that is exactly what every casting decision already does for its respective project.

Admittedly, though, you did not end your comment with "What do you think?" Should I therefore have refrained from pointing out the obvious problem with your claim?

There are plenty of problems with his idea, sure, but that is not one of them; choosing from among options presented, however limited a pool, is exactly how most "styles" are developed. Voices and casting absolutely can be--and, more often than not, are --"morphed" to a project's style in just such a way--by direction and, most importantly, selection.

I see no need for more voice-acting than what we already tend to get unless it's of at least equal quality to what we've been getting, but disagreeing with a illogical warrant is not some denial of any and all dissenting opinions.
