[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

[Merrigan]

A quick aside: how many people on this forum use Japanese voices? I honestly thought it was the default choice (given the usual number of defenders of the original voice actors, who are reputed to be better than the dubbers hired for other languages).

The Venn Diagram of people who play FFXIV and people who watch anime is almost a complete circle, so it's no wonder that people would go out of their way to swap to Japanese.

I think the English voices are stellar (after ARR) including Wuk.

The other thing with voice acting is its a lot harder to tell if it's bad if you aren't a native speaker.

And that, exactly. Don't understand the spoken language ? Don't have the cringe part. Perfect win.

It's not a question of taste for manga, anime or other such media, but rather of keeping the basic language of the game? To me, it's the same debate as the good old "sub or dub". If a film is English/German/Japanese, I'll put it in its original language + subtitles.

Personally, I prefer to go at my own pace, and I find spoken dialogues too long; so I read, and having French spoken at the same time hinders comprehension. The exact opposite of :

I am using the English one. I don't speak Japanese and know from movies etc. that hearing a different language than reading it (in subtitles etc) is extra confusing for me.

So Japanese / French for me (and I tried french voices and found them... Awful, I'll be honest).

I think my audio is in ENG, but I hear it so rarely because actually I play with my game muted and listen to something else while I'm gaming. Radio, news, YT trash, just some good music.
Had to go sample Wuk Lamat from YT, and considered her voice to be 2/5-ish. Overall just kinda flat performance. "Could be better, would have tried to find someone else if I was casting person."
But I wont be listening to her or anyone anyway (unless any random cutscene seems interesting, I tend to turn on audio for those ;3), so whatever.
Don't really care of the voice actor's feelings, or her fan base's feelings - except that I hope they are fine. Let's live and let live.
