First let me say that i am really enjoying the gameplay in this game. It's loads of fun.

As for the story, it is quite weak in my opinion. Compared to other titles in the series, the story here is nowhere near as well written. Coming from Square-Enix it is quite surprising. Other MMO havea much better story and you can tell they actually put a lot of thought and work into it. I won't name those MMOS as i don;t want this to be a comparaison thread between those games.

The voice acting now, it is simply horrible... I never seen such bad acting coming from a big company like square except for some Tales of... games. What happened here? I mean other FF games have voice acting and it is outstanding, so why not here? I tried the french version and it is a bit better and the japanese one is way better. It's like they hired random people to do the voice acting.

I understand that their main focus was on the gameplay and that they were short on time but then again it would have not taken more time to hire better actors.


That being said and done, i don't care too much now that i am enjoying end game content but it does make me worry about future expensions. Can we expect much better content in terms of story telling and voice acting in the future or will this be it? Also, it would be really nice to have more vocie acting and especially outside cutscenes. Like when you talk to some NPCs, they could say something random and there was other cutscenes in the game where there was no voice acting but could have.
