    Yep. Difference is those who like and want to read versus those who dislike reading/can't actually read. Since even if its voice acted people won't sit through all of it unless it's full of action.

    Gotta face facts, sometimes something just simply isn't for everyone.

    It is close, how can something be 'too much' if it doesn't come down to wanting/not wanting to read?

    Since you seem to profess your love of reading, please do actually read my posts (while using reading comprehension) and then come back to me with a reply that's relevant.

    You know what? I'll give the benefit of the doubt and answer your question point bank: there's no point in adding lines and lines of text that do not say anything. To keep your audience captivated every sentence should convey meaning and not just be there for the sake of taking up time and space.

    If every sentence in XIV was really meaningful it would be fantastic, but that's not the case. I LOVE reading, I read a lot in real life and have no problem with it in a game, but I don't like dialogue that is semi and sometimes even mostly pointless. I know it can be better and riveting!

    With NPCs that make you laugh or give you decent information or both even, with their own personalities.
