FFXIV-- the fear of a WoW Clone is real...

[Ceravic]

Did you play the game past chapter 1? Oh, and by the way, the voice acting in Final Fantasy XIV was one of the worst I've seen in the past few years. The choice of actors was horribly botched, and the lines were delivered in a generally unconvincing way.

LIMSA LOMINSA! AH-HAH-HAH! A SIGHT FOR ME SORE EYES!

YOU'D SELL YOUR MOTHER FOR A FEW COINS

Haha, I will always have that quote in my head

I still remember that line, exactly how it is said from my alpha and beta days, such an awesome line delivered perfectly, also it was pretty much hammered into my head with all the character resets, got sick of LL eventually so joined Ul'dah, Y'stola is my favorite archon by far.

The voice acting won't be a concern to us weeaboos though. You guys see the list of VAs they're getting for the JP audio? Definitely one of the things I'm really excited for.

I giggle every time I see different people defining different games a "wow clone" simply because they don't like them, no matter the fact that none of them is actually a clone of anything.

It's become the "generic MMORPG insult" for when one has nothing logical to express in terms of criticism.

an opinion doesn't make it so besides there is more than just 1 FF game that uses VO as well. Starwhores was not the first nor is it the best example of voice acting.

Also if you don't like the English VA, swap to Japanese and use the English subs.

You explicitly referenced Final Fantasy 14.

Voice acting quality is no matter of opinion. Sorry. It's a matter of having an idea of what good voice acting is, or not having the slightest idea about it. You quite obviously belong to the second group.

Starwhores was not the first nor is it the best example of voice acting.

I'm sure you are aware of the fact that intentionally mangling SWTOR's title identifies you as an irrational hater, pretty much voiding what you write of whatever validity. SWTOR's voice acting is actually, besides a few characters, very high in quality. It has a large number of top tier voice actors and lines are almost always delivered convincingly and realistically.

Also if you don't like the English VA, swap to Japanese and use the English subs.

I'll probably do that, but that possibility doesn't excuse a shoddy rush job made with the English voice acting, as Final Fantasy XIV obviously was.

no.

Bah! you'd sell your own mother if the coin was good.

My father too!
