    The lengths some people go to be as Anti-QoL as possible. Devs want this game to last another 10 years then make this happen. Or is this game's engine just so gods awful they can't add a battle grunts button in the voice selector in the CC screen? If that's the case then here's to another 10 years of a trashy engine holding the game back.

    As with most things in this game, we can show it's not a limitation with the game engine or anything like that because there exist third party tools that can do all this. Client side only obviously.

    You can show it's not a limitation with the game by using tools that aren't part of the game and aren't supported by the developers? That's like saying this model kit I'm building should've had better paint from the factory because I can buy my own paints.

    If you want to go with that analogy, it'd be more like if the model kit producers claimed they couldn't put better paint on the model because the plastic doesn't support it, but you can put better paint on without a problem.

    To strain the analogy further: The factory doesn't use more paint because paint costs money and the company that owns the property won't pay for it, because the profit they make from selling the models is going towards other projects. The idea that they just plain can't is wrong, but improved quality requires financial investment from the higher-ups, and they don't really care.

    And in this case, with how much money they make off the game, from subs, box price, and the ridiculously overpriced cash shop items that are continuously released, the idea they won't pay for better is a really bad look.
