Dear Square Enix,

Dubbing costs a lot of money ? So how MMOs like TESO can be entirely dubbed then ? And TESO is F2P

QUALITY dubbing costs a lot of money.

Of course you could get any old joe to do the dubbing, but that doesn't mean it will be GOOD dubbing (why do you think the Emperor in Oblivion died in the first 10 minutes of the game? Because Patrick Stewart was NOT cheap and boy did they ever use his name as a key selling point of the game when he was knocked off at the very beginning lol). That, and these MMOs tend to have very generic/short lines and not entire plot-heavy cutscenes like FFXIV does.

That, and another thing we might want to look at, is TIME. Some FFXIV cutscenes already range in the 5 minute+ mark, and there are some cutscenes that would probably breach 10 minutes if they were fully voiced. I can read much faster than someone can talk, and the voiced cutscenes tend to be more special.

If every cutscene was voiced, the specialness would be lost, and the non-voiced cutscenes would take 3x as long as they already do.
