Voice Acting

[3Jane]

Personally I want voice acting, especially during cut scenes. As to npcs there must be a way to program round too much repetition.
Slightly o.t but relevant. In the quest 'Futurs Perfect', after the encounter with the walking machine thing. I found that part of the scene in the clearing was complete with voice acting and sound effects. After that small section it went back to the normal silence. This has happened briefly before in quests. I wonder if the voice acting was actually done, but for some reason wasn't used.

That true but the voice actor in ffxiv are people who does naruto,bleach and so on so i think we be hearing them again for 2.0 and new voice for the leader of each company.

I really did wish the 3 company had voice over when the leader where talking or ifrit that would have been cool.

Everyone who recommends those two shows tells me not to bother with the horrendous dubs.

i like both the jp and eng version of naruto bleach i only like JP version. They did say they adding voice over for JP so i'm sure they allow us to switch the voice over from NA-JP subs so no issue on that if the jp are better i switch over to that as long as there sub titles lol.

Instead of cheesy voice acting...
Give me a boss fight that needs a good strat, and take us 6 months to figure out how to beat.

people would complain and yoshi-p would make it easy to do example a lot of people dislike not having auto attack so they added i'm fine with that people dislike when leve did not give a lot of exp yoshi-p fix that the next sub patch. People dislike the servers marge idea they fix that which i understand. But some time if you making a game you have to put your foot down and say no i'm not changing it and no it should be done like this and like that i'm sorry we not changing it and not even thinking about it. At this point look like yoshi-p is trying to make everyone happy which in the long run going to backfire on him.

I hope there boss and fight and item that take longer then 1day to get -.-

What's that incident about... lol need to go check it out.

If it is done right then the English voice acting can be just as good as the Japanese. Just look at Naoki Urasawa's Monster, it is voice acting perfection when watched in English, but in Japanese it's nowhere near as good. FMA is another anime with amazing English voice acting on par with the Japanese proving that English can be just as good.

I'm sure there are many more examples out there but I mostly watch everything in Japanese after the 4Kids One Piece incident, so my knowledge is limited.

@OP,
We should never hear our characters talk. That is one of the reasons TOR is so awful.

oh god don't remind me FMA in JP was so bad

No, because I'd have to hear people from Limsa Lominsa talk. It's annoying enough to read, I don't want to hear a bad voice actor talk like a pirate.

Wouldn't it be better to hear in then subjugate yourself to ridiculously long and horrifically stilted writing?
