Wuk Lamat's Poor EN Voice Acting

[Stormpeaks]

She seems fine to me, from what we got from EW id say better than Zero's and Varshahn's, ya'll picky af...

It's almost like ffxiv is not a free to play game so people expect quality

Crazy I know

If people weren't picky, the game would not improve.
I don't like the idea of accepting everything the devs throw at us, just to be nice.

I don't think they should change objectively well produced content, based on the subjective opinion of a vocal minority, just to be nice.

I too love to pretend the side I disagree with is a vocal minority, makes everything much easier!

It is their onus to establish their majority. Until then, the available data bears that they are a minority.

Also I did not express an opinion on the quality of the voice acting.

What data???

Saying that something is "objectively something" doesn't make your opinion any less subjective than mine.
Also, this entire forum is technically a vocal minority, and you're a part of it.

What I don't understand is why the the english translation division insists in creating their own version of ffxiv. If japan used a woman or a woman sounding voice, why do they take it upon themselves to not follow that same basic approach? Or it could be japan itself not understand north america at all; we don't want cartoon gimmicks or what you'd watch in saturday morning cartoons; at least a lot of us don't.

This isn't new or exclusive to XIV to be quite honest.
Take the lalafel for instance. They go with either funny or cute in japanese. In English they're more concerned with making them sound like human adults. Changing the type of voice for which character is part of the localization process in any game and in case of japanese sources it rarely matches.

Anyway my issue isn't the voice but the performance. It's very amateurish. Like I said in one of the other threads, it's as bad as the voice acting in the city-state cutscenes in 1.0.

This Board is the only available applicable data. Even if every post on this board expressed dislike for the VO they would still be the minority of the playerbase.

Well produced is not an opinion.

[Thighland]

Well produced is not an opinion.

It literally is, because it's you who said it.
Why should I trust you to know what you're talking about?
I think you're just being spiteful.
