It not a matter of needing player consent to update, that's silly. But because it is an attribute you cannot change without paying money (fantasia), and now it is changed forcefully without reversal. I don't know what else can be comparable. Maybe one day login and they've removed your favorite hairstyle (if hairstyle could not be changed for gil). Fully within their purview but leaves a poor taste. Maybe not a bad thing for you, but the new lala yelps are quite terrible. In the past, all previewable sounds conformed across the character, so perhaps not needed as uniformity existed (at least for lala, I don't know other race). The battle voices were the same as the emote ones. But forceful update that makes you sound like 3 different people rolled into one just feels cheap and unnecessary, especially when it is considered that the new ones are in a different tone entirely. The "character" is lost. I think variety would be okay if it was optional and not forced.
