English VA Work - Please keep it AAA

[ZephyrMenodora]

FFXIV has never had AAA voice acting though.
There's no "soul" behind the english voices in FFXIV. Everything feels so lifeless and forced.
One can really hear how the actors are simply reading from a script.

They actually have accomplished actors in several roles throughout this game. Others are vet voice actors. There is a lot of good to great voice acting in this game.

Correct. People who state otherwise are delusional, brainwashed, or simply being contrarian cuz they're bored.

English VA is fine, Just because it didn't meat a small vocal minority expectations in *certain* parts doesn't mean it was entirely bad. A lot of people had had 0 to no issues with the voice acting apart from a small parts and thats not the VA fault, it has to do more with the production and direction.

Hi, we're not a vocal minority. Get over it.

Yes we are, I doubt forum goers even represent 1% of the playerbase. If forum goers weren't a vocal minority, the complaints would more often echo player data and we'd still be actively impacting the direction of the game, rather than going unheeded for the past 10 years or so.

Hi, I'm apart of the "vocal minority" too. English VA direction made the VA's sound lifeless, the choices for the voices weren't the best. Though Koana and most of the Mamool Ja were decent. Wuk Lamat was 20% good 80% unprofessional. I don't hate the voice, I just dislike their lack of acting ability, I felt no emotion from some scenes, felt like the lines were just being read and not acted out.

While we're at it.

english VA was absolute garbage and no not just wuk lamat. it was far below the quality we're used too. even stormblood is miles above it.
its ARR levels.. maybe even worse.
