[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

[Shadowshinra]

Man you guys crack me up..

Timeline
"Trailer 1: Voice at the end is obviously a Femhroth because it's a female voice with an accent
Now: AustinPowersit'samanbaby.gif."

Her voice is fine, get over it.

Let me preface this by saying I do not speak spanish (ok a few words picked up here or there from living in Texas). I have however heard many native Spanish speakers from many parts of the world speak English. Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Brazilians, Hondurans, Spaniards, Cubans and I am sure many more. I have heard enough to know there is no one Spanish accent. They are all distinct.

I had to hunt down video of the Voice Acting in question as I am not to that part of the story line yet. Just my opinion here. It didn't sound like any of the Spanish accents I have ever heard. I can't quite put my finger on what it did sound like but not Spanish.

Now to be fair. I generally don't expect much from gaming Voice acting. I am pretty good at suspension of disbelief. It is a fictional world with fictional characters of fictional nationalities that might loosely be based on real world ones. I tend not to get too bent out of shape when things don't match up. In fact this particular Voice acting might be easier for me to accept because it doesn't sound like anything real.

Fascinating.

Some of you all, need to stop bringing up other aspects of the game as strawmen against the topic.
Few being how the content is ran or fees.
And as with voices, internal, external or otherwise and other types.

it's still subjective, so even if two people watched the same terrible fan creation. some may spot different negatives and positives from a situation.

We really just need to see.
(as one of the first, if not..,
to point out that the trailer voice is a Rothgal. no one really had any issues. and just like some said before. it was obvious. <unless you were some of the few who didn't pay attention at that part of the trailer, and realize it wasn't alphinaud or erenville.> how you even confuse those two elezen and viera as well is astonishing but understandable if you're not paying attention at the time.)

See how it turns out, Wuk Lamat will improve and find their way of doing.

And like the Twins Voices in ARR. we will just need to see how it goes throughout DT to understand how the Voice fits.

I think her voice is great..... why are you guys afraid of warrior women? She is absolutely awesome in every possible way.

Really was something needed for this game, it is the best patch for several years.

[Thighland]

That's the problem, she doesn't sound anything like a warrior woman.

That's the problem, she doesn't sound anything like a warrior woman.

She is, also she is not good at Eorzean either as of language that is, it will explain things.

She is much different... and maybe should look more at like a huntress/warrior hybrid instead, but there is more to it.. she is straight forward with things, which no other NPC really is at all in FFXIV... embrace the change, don't fight it.

Sadu says hi.
Also a very good VA.

[Themarvin]

Sadu says hi.

Sadu is a character that has a very small part in FFXIV, the diversity in the different in game communities is a thing to take note of as well, I would hate if everyone was a garlean or typical garlean in FFXIV that is... or La Noscae only personlaties... and more to it.

As I said embrace the change.... I don't think Sadu fights other Aura to eat them when they have been dealt with for starters that is.

That's the problem, she doesn't sound anything like a warrior woman.

Because she is also a person adopted into nobility and isn't the "GRRRRRAAAAHHHH SMASH EVERYTHING, YEA DRINKING AND VIOLENCE" DnD-born stereotype that people think warriors are. Moenbryda didn't sound like a stereotypical warrior woman yet her main weapon was an axe, Lyse was also a physical fighter and her voice didn't fit the stereotype. Hell, if you made someone without any knowledge of FFXIV listen to anything Thancred said in ShB or EW they wouldn't flag as coming from a tank-focused character. This is once more complaining for the sake of complaining. It's easier to point to the few characters that match their job type than it is to characters that don't fit a fantasy class stereotype.

Throughout history it was more common to find martial discplined people to engage in various cultural works, especially if they were nobleborn or adopted into it because a leader needs to be versatile and know more. A good example is Ghengis Khan who lead steppe tribes commonly viewed as 'barbaric' into an effecient military force that created one of the biggest empires in human history. He was not only a note-worthy fighter but was incredibly skilled with logistics and administrating the Mongolian Empire, he valued art, history and would rebuild cities he completely conquered and destroyed by sparing builders, architects, artists and various other skilled professions.

Correct she doesn't sound like a warrior woman because she isn't a class stereotype, she sounds like a regular person because that's how the game often portrays characters.
