Disappointed in the voice acting...

[DonJuanDoja]

I've barely started but man right away the lack of voice acting is almost shocking. I know it's kind of normal for a game like this but still.

When I think about it I paid more for this game than FFXV and that game doesn't have this problem.

I'm sure the game is great but if I could vote on the next update I'd say add more voice acting.

I already have to read enough my eyes hurt come on dudes...

The little single word expressions they put in their place make the lack thereof a hilarious tragic crime.

it seems like they’ve actually REMOVED some voice acting

This is from an E3 build. I’ve just done this part of the game, and it’s now all voiced with grunts, rather than full phrasing like in the clip.

Very disappointing.

It really is strange (to say the least) that even the main story isn't fully voiced.
I remember playing the Bravely Default and wondering how they managed to fully (iirc) VO that game, it being niche 3ds only title.

[DonJuanDoja]

I'll probably end up playing anyways, it does look really good.

But seriously devs the main story needs to be voiced.

People are saying it's better than FFXV and maybe it is in ways but I just can't see it when that game has a fully voiced presentation. Even the lowest repetive side quests are voiced. I mean everything is. This game starts out the very first few minutes are lacking huge swaths of voice over. I just quit...

Not the point. They chose to go with voice acting in the game, but implemented it poorly and unevenly. The same story cutscene can switch from voice acting to text multiple times. That is jarring and immersion breaking at best, and lazy design at worst.

more like you lazy to read it this method voice acting be done before. some games dont do full voice acting because people complain about dub say it sound horrble

dragon quest does this way voice acting as well

new dragon quest still does it

It's a very fun and enjoyable game, but the inconsistent VO takes away from the experience for sure. It would be so much more memorable and more like a Ghibli film or anime if they didn't half-ass that one aspect. A real shame and missed oppurtunity.

No, it's just you rejecting critique of a game you like. They even tricked people with early gameplay footage that showed voice acting in scenes where there now is none. People like you are the reason they get away with cutting corners, and in a fairly pricey game, no less.

If you like the game, then that's fine, but if you blindly reject valid criticism of it, you're not being rational.

i been around time when there was no voice acting in games reason dont make big deal every game need voice acting to me voice acting extra not spouse to be main goal to make a game. if you focus on high pay voice acting you lose value of the game because waste there budget just on voice actor

everyone game has a budget

Okay, it would be nice if you could at least try to use some punctuation, because that is a horrible mess to read.

Like I said: if they wanted the game to have no voice acting, fine. If they do give it voice acting, don't do it so where the game switches from voice to text multiple times in the same story-related cutscene, especially when early footage shows said cutscene being fully voiced. That highly suggests they were too lazy or cheap to get the voice actors in to redub the lines.

once again is doing method been do for while in jrpg standard.

you need to know there price on voice acting i bet you this game was be made in time voice acting protest say there not get pay enough.

not everyone single jrpg have full voice acting they hire couple just make grunt sound and use only cutscene to do full voice acting



if you hate idea might as well refund your game this game not made for people who cant understand how old style jrpg are

The game is supposed to feel like a Studio Ghibli animation, which makes it even more disappointing that they went with so little and unevenly implemented voice acting, especially after the first game. On top of that, the first game had full voice acting, which makes this a very real step back for the same price.

Studio Ghibi Creator hate video games as well they mostly like stop use them 2nd game because of this. this game has better art style then first game as well because if they still follow Ghibi this game would be hand draw only cut scene

This is a freaking $60 AAA game. Full voiced scene should already a thing for a triple A game especially in 2018

Just stop using budget crap. They are lazy...this is not a budget problem

Even some low budget games like cold steel have better voice implementation

Look, if you make a char like big strong black angry face guy and the default voice sounds like a normal guy...it will sounds weird and bad and break immersion
