    Casters can at least unintelligibly chant or mutter.
    as much as i think it would be cool go have the characters mutter an incantation while casting, or saying something when the cast finishes like in octopath for instance, i think itd get annoying after a while since youd be hearing it almost the entire fight

    Incantations are literally chanting magic words, though. It is a very common fantasy trope that witches, wizards and the like often recite verbal phrases necessary for their spells to function. Why else would the Silence condition prevent spellcasting?

    This is probably also true. Imagine a whole party yelling out their spells... "Stone! Stone! Stone!" "Fire! Fire! Fire!" Even if they made it so you only heard your own character's voice, it would still get pretty tiring.

    A small amount of the party belting out names and chants, sure.
    But everyone in the party yelling their artes' names is cacophonous to me. >x>

    I would immediately become a Caster main and never look back!

    And anyone who dislikes this can go into the settings and lower / turn off voice volume. Not that I imagine it would be a big deal. People already can't hear each other "Ha!" and "Hey-a!" in battle very well and I cannot believe some muttering would fare much better.

    Not every melee attack comes with a voiced grunt or shout, so not every spell with a cast bar would have to either. This doesn't have to be an incessant chant.
    And, as above, I don't see how this could get more annoying than the melee characters shouts (which I'm sure we all tune out just fine... when we can hear them).

    Well I am a caster main and it would make me drop it haha, but its preference. I guess we can hope for the opposite outcomes here. I do like hearing voices but I thought it was wise for Casters to impart focused silence vs the other classes.

    Well, it is not for everyone so an option to turn it off would be a good thing.
