Cid sounds like a pirate now

[Lanadra]

In Shadowbringers, I finally got to the part when he actually speaks again and his voice sounded so different I t nearly screwed up the whole mood of the cutscene for me. Had to look up what happened to his voice. Did he spend too much time in Limsa while we were on the First or something? xD

I assume you mean English, I hadn't noticed anything different about him or anyone else myself, I run Japanese audio.

Cid's English VA has been through the ringer essentially. The OG was replaced along with the entire English VA cast with the transition to HW due to SE switching which VA studio they patronized, and from then on out because Cid barely gets any voiced lines going forward his performances have always been spotty. Made worse by the fact that his VA hadn't appeared in over two years with this patch /and/ the COVID issues forcing his VA to record at home. Most of the English VA's this and last patch have this issue though. You can pretty clearly tell there's a drop in quality and direction because they weren't able to be in the studio to be properly supervised with industry level equipment.
