    Enabled Text Crawling Sounds and "Grunt" Voices in Conversations?

    As the game is generally heavy on the text-side, I decided to mess around with a cutscene from the Main Story which doesn't include voices to see what FF:ARR could be like with RPG-styled Text Crawling sounds or Single-Word Grunts.
    Youtube Video Link: http://youtu.be/fkdKj9zF940

    I recall that many players seemed to have disliked the lack of voices in cutscenes, especially key Story scenes due to the sometimes lack of audio overall.
    And since the game doesn't use Text Crawling display for pacing, but instead uses a straight Wipe to display sentences, some of the character's personalities and dialects may seem to fall flat during extensive 3+ paragraphs.

    If there was an alternative way to go about these scenes (e.g. Grunt Sounds, individual Letter Pacing, or Text Crawling sound effect functions that can be enabled in Options) what would you think would be the best way to go about it?

    No thank you.

    The grunt is a cool idea but it's one I could do without. When it comes to sounds emitting from characters I honestly prefer leaving it to my imagination. And the text crawl I wouldn't like too much but maybe as an option.

    Interesting and good job. Although proper voice acting in all cutscenes would've been the best

    From your example video, I'd say "grunts" would be an improvement, but I'd rather not have the text noise.

    The text noise was a little distracting, but I could see the grunts as adding more "life" I guess to some cutscenes. Sometimes cutscenes seem a little too "quiet."
