    Speaking of tacos, I would not be in support of everyone having only various British regional accents for Tural and the rest of the game because of how people from that island pronounce the word “tacos”. That one line Krile had referring to them made me cringe so hard my soul separated from my body.

    What’s worse is that Wuk Lamat told her what a taco is using the American pronunciation not even 3 seconds before so it’s obvious the VAs weren’t in the same room or conference with each other and couldn’t even hear other VA dialogue when reading their lines.

    Most recordings are done solo, that's pretty standard in the industry, barring a few exceptions, motion capture for example. In the example you gave, the VAs were probably recording in different countries as well, as the American voices were probably recorded in a studio in California.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    Yeah, Colin Ryan (Alphinaud) mentioned during one of his streams that for XIV, they record their all their lines separately. It'd also explain why Shtola sounds like she was recorded in a basement and then compressed to the 11th degree.

    That explains why at least two voice actors in DT sound like they're in a professional studio (Zanuhali is one of them), while everyone else has a somewhat lower quality audio.

    That disparity in the audio quality takes me more out of the game than any issue with the accents.
