Voice acting for the Primals

[Warlock]

Who would like to have all CSs involving the Primals in ARR to be voice acted specially the primals themselves even better if this could be implemented in their battles make them say something menacing through the fight and right before big attacks .

What you guys think?

This is not strictly for Primals ...there could be a category for the most powerful monsters in ARR that could get the voice acting treatment (ex. the demon wall)

Do you mean -during- the actual battles?

SE has already verified that NPCs and every CS have been voice-recorded, so that'd surely mean the Primals, too.

There definitely needs to be voice acting in the game, but please, please if you do it, hire the same professional voice actors that were used in the FMVs. I do not want to hear super cheesy in-game voice acting like in TERA/Aion/RIFT. Cheesy voice acting is patently worse than no voice acting.

But then if Siren is the one singing answers does that mean Susan Calloway would do the voice acting for Siren =o?

+1 for more voice acting.

While there were some for some enemies in 1.0, honestly probably not since judging by other MMOs with boss VA...it sounds extremely phoned in and just..out of place at times lol. Since the primals are generally beast (while they can speak) the voices would honestly being jarring if not done properly (and rarely is.)

Some of the Garlean troopers had death voices cursing us when their HP reached zero. I was surprised because Ive never heard any other mob speak.

Most of the WOW boss voices are done very well, including guttural voices or anything out of the norm. It certainly adds to the atmosphere during a fight.

I don't see why SE couldn't do the same especially since they're a top tier developer when it comes to voice acting. There aren't really any examples of bad voice acting in SE games.

Yes i mean during the actual battles We only got Ifrit's roar and Garuda's maniac laugh in 1.0 but it would be nice to hear them talk

The Primals actually spoke in 1.0, though. SE said that everything will have VAs so it'll be interesting to see how they do it... Leviathan would be difficult to imagine speaking >.<

They're one of the few humanoid enemies, with pirates/zombies. Every other monster has their own death noise.

It would be a nice touch! Especially if they were only at key moments and not repeated continuously over longer fights. It'd also give a nice 'warning' whenever they were about to use their specials if they said something sinister beforehand =)
