Rift also sucks ass too.

Voice overs are NOT needed for a good RPG, period.

What do you people have against Final Fantasy's voice overs?

What do you people have against Final Fantasy's voice overs?

Why do you enjoy red-herrings and strawmens?

I don't like fish and the strawman from The Wizard of Oz was always so annoying.

So get over it, ok.

i would tell you but you would heir me

[Carmillia]

Voice overs, yes please! It really would make immersion better in my opinion!

Let me just leave this here again..

Anyways, more VO is fine, but not everything.

I can see something like a Zelda style VO, like whenever you tlk to an NPC, most of them would let out a sigh or a groan, or chuckle. Something simple, doesn't really have to be word for word.

no company will pay thousands of people to do voice overs, most games that use them use the same voice actors constantly. If the game was a success and they payed $1 to everyone that does the voice acting for 1000 npcs, that would be $1000 in Japan, $1000 in America (they would use the same actors for all EN clients) $1000 in Germany and $1000 in France because they are the languages it supports, thats $4000 that could be spent on content. Lets not forget new dialogues that are released for any new content, oh and new NPCs.

Having a unique VO for every NPC would not be viable and anyone that thinks it is needs to grow a brain cell.

They could VO the CS for the main scenario and class quests because they wouldn't need too many actors for those but all NPCs is a stupid idea.

Once again playing devils advocate here but...

This MMO would like to disagree with you.
