Poll: Who reads all of the quest text, main scenario only, voice acting only, or none

[Hestern_Nestern]

Mmm...quest dialogue. I read everything, including the voice acting bits! Ha ha.

[CGMidlander]

I read all the text and listen to all the voice acting. (In the inn for instance cutscenes, of course)
The localization team is great.

[RyujinUzikin]

...wow.

First of all, it's actually an immense amount of work to add in voice acting and it's done months in advance (I believe Yoshi said all the voiced parts for 2.4 were finished ~2 months ago). There's nothing "lazy" about it. It's time-consuming, needs to be planned out well in advance, and costs a decent chunk of money.

On a sidenote, your blind assumption about a process you know nothing about is really immature.

I just want to get my money's worth, considering this is not a freebie game. In truth I say they weren't that confident this re-release of 14 was going to be a success, so they didn't make a sandbox world, they didn't add that much voice acting. They went the cheap way in and they know it.

If it's immature to point out the differences of this game vs other games then so be it.

Yeah, I'm sure you know how and where they decided to allocate resources.

It's kinda funny that you say you want to get your money's worth but then go on to skip part a large part of the content.

Voice acting is expensive. It's even more expensive when you need to get voice actors for every language that is supported, as well. Personally, I couldn't care less if this game had no voice acting at all. It gives the writers a lot more freedom to go all out.

I read everything ;x

[GalkaBikini]

I read everything. I even read item descriptions. It's made the game much more enjoyable than just rushing through like most people do. A lot of the dialogue is pretty hilarious.

I only skip the beast tribe quests and sometimes leves, everything else I read.

＄１２～１５　is pretty damn cheap. That's a theatre movie every month that only lasts up to 4 hours.

I pay more attention to the main scenario quests than the side quests, and when I have time I replay cutscenes just to understand the lore better. I like reading wikis when I find time too. but questing in general, unless the premise catches my attention, I pretty much ignore texts not in the duty list :P
