Requesting more Voice Acting!

[Alberel]

Voice acting is prohibitively expensive compared to the costs of many other elements of development. This is why it is used very sparingly at present. I would personally much rather they focused on using their budget efficiently by spending it on things that players are likely to make regular use of, as opposed to cutscenes that most will only ever see once.

Now VA for bosses in dungeons is a different issue and one that I could support, though again I would want the devs to focus on making efficient use of that budget. Some VA is great but too much will mean less of other things that likely hold more importance to most players.

I would love to see more voice acting, but this.

I was just doing the Scholasticate quest and thinking "Man this would have been so much better if voice acted. D:" Same with Hildibrand! I know they're side quests but they are "major" side quests... if that even makes sense.

But yeah. There are more important things they could use their money for imo. As much as I enjoy the voice acting and want to see more of it.

I don't know about expensive, but FFXIV's voice acting is quite cringe worthy in its badness at times. There are definitely a few bright spots here and there, but most of the voice acting is pretty sub-par unfortunately. I'd rather they not increase the frequency of it if they don't also increase the quality of it.
