[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

[kayll]

Before the thread gets deleted, spammed or mass reported I'll say this in brief.

Ill give everyone a fair shot in voice impressions and the voice direction might be stronger in the expansion than in the patch. BUT for first impressions I wanted to like the character but I feel the current direction of the voice hindered rather than helped.

I get ff14 English VA isn't always 100% but at least for long occurring characters or characters who will have many voiced scenes it should at least feel like they are acting the character.

The current Wuk direction felt flat, with a bad accent, didn't really feel like they were as expressive as the character was posed to be in animation, and overall felt like they were reading lines from the script rather than talking/acting as the character.

Still as stated before everyone gets a fair chance to flex their talents, but first impressions it felt amateurish compared to the other trained VA's

Krile in the exact same scenes sounds like they are reading off a script in multiple lines, like a robot, like every word is the start of a new sentence.
G'raha sounds tired the entire time, like he didn't even want to be there.

Both returning voice actors in the same scenes with a new character we just met, yet only one of them is being hyper-scrutinized?
Not saying the new voice actor is perfect, but I wasn't very impressed by the voice acting as a whole this patch, so I find it kind of weird the new voice actor is the only one being judged harshly here.

I personally didn't get robot from Krile or G'raha, but you can also not like the voice work of this patch, I didn't like early HW alph, but i feel the VA got used to the character. The issue still lies that this is the FIRST IMPRESSION of the character and acting goes flat. with G'raha and Krile we know that the actors have done great scenes in the past so a "robot voice" now doesn't mean it will be later, but this is our first time hearing a new character and current scenes feel stiff. there's a worry that the next big expansion will have flat acting for scenes with certain emotions and we have nothing to compare to, (other than the few seconds in the trailer.)
