    MSQ voiceover

    I'm a bit disappointed that the MSQ is not fully voiced at this point. After this many years, and a larger player base, its not unreasonable to expect the main story to be fully voice acted.

    I was surprised that 16 wasn't fully voiced either. Even main characters sometimes just have a partial phrase and then a lot of text.

    Do they just not budget full acting or are there super-late rewrites?

    Always disappointed but for the drivel they wrote for this MSQ I feel relief for the actors they didn't need to voice it all.

    VA are expensive and time consuming, least if you want them at the same time. Though it does seem like there have been a bit miss-placed priorities. Like the golden llama scene should have been voiced. While the following scene, didn't really need to exist.

    I don't care about fully voiced (if I still get text and can skip ahead) or not voiced. But please decide on one.

    The biggest issue for me was in the last area, where a certain character appeared that we heard before. But that appearance should have been from voice and not reading text.

    Worst offence is that the first scene is not voiced.

    To be fair, if we consider the quality of voice over for Wuk Lamat and some other new npc's, its somewhere in between bad and terrible, in which case it's perhaps best not to expect full voice over any time soon considering the quality of it.

    Tbh I think the main issue is that cutscenes that are supposed to convolute an important moment or infos are still not voiced. Aside from that, I assume it's fine if not everything gets voiced. But key moments are indeed sad...

    I'm fine with the MSQ voiced as much as it is.

    I wish they'd voice the 8 and 24 man raid series beyond just voice lines in the fights (and the very special guest part of the Pandemonium series)

    Yeah, it would be nice if at the very least we get to a point where all the cutscenes are fully voiced. Been a little disappointed that it almost feels like there are less voice acted cutscenes this xpac compared to Endwalker, not enough to claim it ruins my experience, but it would def go a long way in making the cutscenes even more enjoyable
