Grand Companies of Eorzea Page Updated! (10/04/2012)

[Kyra]

Am I the only one that never reads these boring newspaper lore articles, there so tedious and uninteresting and usualy just fluff dribble written in a form of english that makes no sense to the normal person.

This kind of stuff should be in a seperate section of the website for the roleplayers, not on lodestone news topics.

Infact a lot of the quest text in the game is boring dribble and Ive always found it difficult to be interested in, as a character ingame can never truely have a personality without it being properly voice acted like the characters in skyrim. ive gone off topic but if they added voice acting it would add infinitly more substance to the game.

I would rather them add 50 quests fully voice acted in 2.0 than 500 with just reams and reams of text.

There was one quest for artifact armor, I think it was monk...and jesus christ the amount of paragraphs of nonsense I had to uninterestingly scroll through was ridiculous. Its amazing how interesting things become when you listen to somone saying it rather than just reading it.

So why did you post in a topic about articles you don't read or care for?

I don't follow you. Seems to be written in totally normal English to me.

I guess these things aren't for everyone, but surely you can see that a large number of people play games in the Final Fantasy series for the story? And that most people have no trouble reading? You don't need to be a role-player to want to be interested in the background behind the unfolding events of the world that you're experiencing.

Fair enough, it's gotta be much more of an effort for those with a degree of dyslexia, but that should hardly merit your annoyance. I take it you prefer TV series and film to reading books and comics? I, for one, prefer the latter and appreciate the quest, levequest, lodestone and dialogue text spread throughout the game.

Was disappointed that I didn't get to sail on the Maelstrom fleet though.

That's because you are in the special small group of adventurers with Lousiox w/e is spelled already at Mor Dhona

Waahhhh I can't read

[Holy_Dragoon]

Waahhhh I can't read

While I might have used a bit more tact, when I read this I felt the same way. Having played 10 iterations of Final Fantasy that don't have voice acting, I have no problem following along by this concept of "reading." In some cases I actually prefer it, the story then moves at a pace I deem awesome.

Am I the only one

You are never the only one

It is. It's called the "The Grand Companies of Eorzea" icon. On the Lodestone news topic is only the notice, that the Grand Companies of Eorzea page got an update.
