Thread: DEV REQUEST: Complete voice acting in 4.0 and beyond

Ewww, no. I can read very quickly. I don't like voiced cutscenes because it requires me to sit still and listen (I'm too anal retentive to just cut someone off mid-speech, even though I've just finished reading their faux-Shakespearean braying, and I'm only waiting for them to play catch up.) Save the VO for the big moments. Fully voiced everything doesn't really add anything to anything.

Glad someone said it.
This recent trend to voice EVERYTHING just because it's possible in games annoys me so much x.X
Voices (if they are fitting!) can help immersion, but only from time to time. I'm fortunate enought to play with JP voices without understanding everything, so it doesn't hurt me as much to cut someone off mid-speech (I only wait for a breathing pause; cutting it off mid-word is unbearable to me too). I dropped many RPGs already because I spent so much time sitting around waiting for people to finish their slow-ass speeches..I neither need nor want that in my FFXIV.
