Requesting more Voice Acting!

It's no different to saying, brit or aussie.
Take it to tumblr.

It is very different and just by doing a little research you would see why. I don't think someone calling me the N word is offensive but then I am not black. Use your brain just because you don't find it offensive doesn't mean others don't. BTW before you say they are completely different they are not they are both ethnic slurs. If you want a better example of how it's not OK to shorten names by where they are from try Pakistan.

As for the topic I would like to see more voice acting but in other areas too i.e Job/class quests and beast tribe quests.

Well I'm not an anime fan and I prefer to hear the voices in my own language lol

Me too, also don't like anime.

A lot of people seem to think that Japanese voice acting inherently has more quality potential than English voice acting in this game at least. That's not true at all, the English voice actors just need some work.

I don't really personally feel the Japanese voice acting is superior in this game anyway though. All I hear is what sounds like overly dramatic speech that often doesn't fit what's happening in a scene in a language I don't understand. Maybe Japanese just sounds like an "angry language" to me because I don't speak it, but I'm sure SE can find voice actors or train the current ones to do better in an appropriate tone for english, making the quality better.

British and Australian people did not get put into internment camps on American soil like Japanese Americans did all while being derogatorily referred to by a term they did not use for themselves. Brit and Aussie are terms largely accepted by the people of those nationalities even to the point of being used to describe themselves in mamy, many cases, whereas the term for Japanese people is not.

If someone is not aware of the history of forced internment of American Japanese people amd uses the term, educating them is the best route. If someone continues to use the term or defends its use once made aware or despite being aware of why it is derogatory then it is more than reasonable to call them out on the bigotry being displayed. Fortunately the situation with the person who used it appears to be the former, and the person just wasn't aware of the negative connotation of the abbreviation he used, it was explained, and he no longer posted using the term. Hopefully the subsequent posters defending the term can take a moment to reflect on why the term should not be used or defended, even if only from the simple position of empathy for others
