why not have all quests have a voice over?

u see but in FF14 you do not. so it saves this cost.

So why bring up GW2 a fully VA'd story from both player and npcs in your OP as an example?

The reason why certain scenes are not VA'd is because those are chosen as awaiting approval ( as in they may or may not rework them) and the scenes which get VA are the ones they set as complete/set in stone and then they go into the scheduling for the actors to voice the roles as they need done well in advance. This was brought up in one of tyheir live letters or possibly a streamer/yoshiP interview.


I would love it if ALL MSQ was VA'd . However its expensive and if they were to have the funds and time it would set a precedent and we would all expect it from then on and if they were to stop doing it , lets say years down the line when the game isnt as lucrative for SE it would piss us off for sure.

as an example of a game that do it but do not have even 25% of the budget ff14 have. i think i did say it. trhe point its not the cost as VA's are not as expansive as you think. there lots of free lancers that are godly good and will work for cheap.
