First FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Trailer Released!

[Eclipse]

I don't get it. His voice is epic, the people complaining about his english voice must be the same idiots that always complain about english voices in japanese anime and video games.

I understand that not everyone will share our opinion. However for those who think another voice actor would have been a better choice, I would like to think, we are not just complaining simply for the fact of our own personal distaste, but because SE could have done better.

The fact of the matter is that there are certain types of "voices" that sell in the North American market:
1. Movie Trailer Voice

2. British Voice

3. Sexy smooth female voice. (Sometimes, though male voices are more universal.)

I am sure there are others but, those come to mind.

If a business going to reintroduce a product that is in desperate need of a consumer base, financial gains and intrigue then you are going to need to utilize a voice over that is more marketable.

This game is already faltering do to its release reputation, SE needs to make sure every move they execute is 100% satisfactory (or at least appeals to market standards) or people will stop looking, stop being interested.

As petty as it sounds a voice over that is disliked by the majority of current clientele may most likely have a negative effect on any potential customers.
