Anyone else surprised what happened with Valens Van Varro?

Just going to leave this here...

This dude really tried to fight someone with a tablet. What a...what a putz.

Lesson learned: Garleans make terrible arcanists.

I am glad it happened. Even happier with the overall ending of this particular series of quests. Got me right in the feels ;-;

[Lanadra]

This is actually a huge reason why I love the ending. Yes the WoL was instrumental in getting the story to the point in which Valens got cornered, but the people whose lives were ruined by him got to dish out the retribution themselves, they didn't have someone else do it on their behalf. The WoL wasn't the constant star of the show and I really enjoyed that.

Also it was so satisfying to watch Valens get picked up by Diamond Weapon and get crushed by his own horrible creation. /chef's kiss

What I liked was that we played our role, we weren't the star, yet we also didn't feel like the 5th wheel.

Yep, same here. Sure, we did most of the fighting, but it wasn't about us.

Agreed, I feel like anything that's Chronicles of a New Era could only benefit from voice acting. Though I wonder how much it would have cost to get the Nier cast in for the Yorha raids xD

Not as much as you might think I reckon.. well, depends on whether you're speaking Japanese or English. 2B's Japanese voice, Yui Ishikawa, is quite regularly employed for main/big characters in gacha games.. and if a gacha game can pay for her to voice a role with more lines than 2B had in this raid series, SE could have paid her as well. They simply choose not to add voice acting to anything but the main story, you're not going to convince me it's a money issue.

I can't help but think of that "gripping food with force" twitter.

Im frustrated about it... many care less about side stuff just for that reason and on werlyt, not having voiced Gaius lines is such waste...

I genuinely can't understand the decision either. Other than 'this is how we've handled it from the start', characters like 2B in the Nier raids and especially Gaius in the Werlyt series being unvoiced is just inconceivable. I don't believe for a second that they don't have budget for it, it's just a choice of 'we've never had this kind of content voiced so neither do we now'.

I'm sorry but it has to be said: the blood trickling sound after the pop sounded like someone took a small leak.
