Why do you mean unvoiced.

[jobhobster]

Side chapters are unvoiced now? I mean, yeah, they now can do 2 side chapters instead of one, but, but unvoiced. This is sad.

Sine you sad from two. How about remove one but add voice. So you won't be sad.

Ig this Kim sub chapter will be connected to WN event, since they told us they want to do story and fight stuff for WN events. And well, honestly, I'd rather have only Kim banner, but one voiced sub chapter, then two, but in dead silence.

The voices are EVERYTHING. I would rather one voiced event than two silent ones too. Gregor cringe would just not hit the same.

Exactly. It's fine when mini cutscenes that happen after game launch sometimes aren't voiced, but CHRISTMAS event without voices? What's even the point if I don't get to hear Don singing charols or Rodya throwing in another couple of Russian words? Also Heath screaming on everyone just isn't the same without voices.

We probably never get to know. But it's weird, since every event up to that point was voiced, the chapter 6 will be voiced too, but for some reason both events has to be unvoiced. Did they run out of me that they can't voice at least one of events, or what? They could earlier.

Oh, I see. Well, that makes sense from business standpoint. More events = Less content drought = More people retention = More revenue = PM doesn't die. Sad, but fair enough. I gonna miss beach voleyburrrrrrrrrrrrrr

..Does it though? I mean, sure, you have to wait a bit longer to release events since you have to make the script, give it to the voice actors and record their voices, but at the same time that shouldn't really conflict with the game since all they have to do is add the voicelines they recorded, which, in the meantime they could easily still work on other stuff that they have planned. Once they're done with the recording for the first event/story, then they'll have the script ready for the next one.

Seriously, the only way there would be problems with voice acting is if they're using the same computers for both game work and voice work. Also, no character voice lines means there are not going to be any announcer tied to characters from side-chapters that people might actually like enough to spend money on.

About first part, I guess it's either more complicated than we think, or PM has troubles with orginizing stuff. I guess it's a middle ground.

And about second part, we haven't got any announcer from side stories anyway, only the main story one's, like sinners, Charon, and now Yuri/LCCB guys. And on that we can worry not, since main chapters will still be fully voiced.

Eh, maybe. If the problem is tied with money then it's also a possibility that they're just cutting cash spent on voice acting.

It would be a missed opportunity if they don't do anything with side story characters. Imagine having a Papa Bongy announcer with most/all voice lines being a critic on what you do with food comparisons, or maybe another duo or possibly a trio announcer involving Olga, Rain and Mika?

It is also possible that they will add the voices later on, they have done similar things in library of ruina by releasing the gameplay first and adding the voices later.

PM has a tendency to do rewrites to their story if it calls for it, which involves rescheduling for VAs to begin with. Also their team is incredibly small, which doesn't lend itself well to developing a full on live-service game like Limbus.

You gotta remember that it was because of voice acting that lead to Canto IV being delayed for an entire month.

Yeah, and if they plan to add more content per season (they do plan), it's going to be a complete mess. Well, now I'm not that sad, because they didn't really had a choice, if they want to release more than Chapter/RR/MD/Event per season.
