FFXIV vs GW2

[SturmChurro]

I've just started playing a few days ago on trial. It's a very good game for people like me who loves open world exploring. I'm still getting used to the jumps in gw2 due to the movement involves actual physics, but doing jump puzzles is definitely less jank conpared to xiv.

Underwater combat is refreshing.

All characters are voiced. Including your own character. Though I heard it's based on the class you pick?
I wish there's a voice sample in character creation. I remade my character three times until I find the voice that I like.

I'm not sure if it's class specifically, but rather race and sex. For example, I play female sylvari, and they are voiced by the same voice actress who voices femshep (Jennifer Hale). This can all be hit or miss though, depending on one's disposition. I personally like voice acting to this extent, and you can your character will even actively talk while using abilities, for example. There's definitely unique lines based on your class, from what I can tell.
