Wuk Lamat's Poor EN Voice Acting

[TaleraRistain]

Then why bother at all with accents, if it seemingly doesn't matter?

So different areas can still have distinguishing characteristics and characters from those areas would be recognizable. Like the Ala Mhigan example. It's not a direct correlation with real life location, but when you hear an Ala Mhigan in the game, you can tell exactly where they're from. Or you hear someone like Erenville and while it didn't identify location, the Icelandic accent does trigger a cultural identity of being a Viera.

I think they've been careful not to have a 1 to 1 correlation exactly so we don't end up having arguments like this and instead make these associations in game based on the distinguishing characteristics they establish there.

I don't want to rush through MSQ, but I did the first couple scenes with Wuk Lamat and she sounds fine. Actually, I thought her performance during the hunt mission on the island was great and very expressive. I enjoy the character's lively personality as well, it was hilarious how flustered she got about the giant colibri trolling her.

That was great! Here she is facing down angry tough mobs and the thing she just can't even with? A giant bird. It was one of those endearing little traits like Ysayle finding the moogles adorable.
