More dialogue options

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

I always liked in past FFs that you could sometimes choose what to say in the dialogue. I also liked that my character could talk at all for that matter.

One thing that always bothered me about FFXI was that my character was a mute. He/she should be allowed to have some input into what's going on. He/she is the main character in the story are they not ? Shouldn't they be more important than just some bystander watching the events unfold ?

The argument against this I suppose is that I, the player, am in control of the character. So by making my character talk for me it takes away from my freedom as the player. However, that never stopped the main character from talking in the offline FFs. I think it's just silly that my character can't talk in cutscenes or dialogue. I hope that perhaps in version 2.0 my character will finally have a voice too!
