Quests should be VOICE ACTED or in the future!

[Kallera]

More Quests (Story quests ESPECIALLY) should be fully or partially voice-acted depending on what it is.

Not every side quest should be (but a few 1-liners etc) would help breath immersion/life into the world.

Story Quests were a huge let down & tease. When i first started i really expected more voice acting.

I understand the development cost/time for this. I would at least like to see this addressed a bit more once the game is in a comfortable state.

Well, sadly I don't think we'll be getting anything out of our main characters other than grunts and emotes, Though the would be the easiest to voice act, no need to go out for new talent every time.

As for other minor characters, well, the question does come down to costs and such, how much of a role do they play, or will it be like in elder scrolls, where you have maybe 6 people voice an entire population?

I agree on quests needing voiceovers. They are too bland compared to the intro sequences of each starting points.

That's what I think too - since we only have limited voice options anyway, they could use them to voice our characters. My guess on why they didn't is probably because the character voices were made by Japanese actors and some of them might not have the proficiency to speak English well?

PS3 HD space limitations? Can't expect everyone out there to have a 320GB HD...

Uhm. 1 minute of music @128kbit/s is about 1MB small. The whole soundtrack currently ingame is about 166MB big. Voice compresses even better, without sounding too crappy, so space limitations are definitely not the reason for missing voiceovers. Even if they were, you could still stream the audio from the BD.

And maybe there should also be an Option Setting to which between Voice Languages if and when more voice actors are implied. I'd love to here from many different sides (Japanese, English, Français, Deutsches ) and our different Ascents we have going for everyone of the same Language; [example: 5 different types of English, 5 different types of Japanese, 5 different types of Français, 5 different types of Deutsches].

That won't happen, simply because of the costs. I would prefer to have Japanese voiceovers with subs in the language of your choice, but that won't happen either, sadly.
