So apparently the voice acting in FFXIV is bad because "they sound like their british".
LOL thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard. SO I say "So anyone who sounds british/english has a bad voice? Then James Bond has bad voice acting?" to which they reply "No, it just doesn't belong in a final fantasy game". So Im like "so anything that not what you want or goes against what you are used too = bad? That would be like saying Zelda Windwaker has bad graphics because is Cel Shaded and not an art style you like.... No the graphics arent bad you just dont like the art style.... those are not the same thing." To which they say "that analogy doesn't fit this conversation, there are plenty of art styles I hate but I would never say their graphics are bad because of it... but bad voice acting is bad voice acting"
Tell me... is it just me of does this guy need help?
Two things...
1). I can't play Wind Waker
because of its graphics style. I've tried, and it gives me migraines. I'm not saying that it is
bad per se, but I've known a couple other people to say it does the same to them. When something like graphics style causes some people huge headaches, then there might be a problem with it.
2). I don't get where people are saying that FFXIV VAs sound "British". I don't have HW and I never got to see any of the new content (I tried getting back into XIV, but it is just 'meh'), but from what I do remember, the VAs sounded fine, even if they are articulated unusually well (which is a good thing,
as I have APD).
I rather liked the VA in FFXIV; it is easy to understand, the accents are reasonable, and they do the job.
Normally, a lot of games that have VA, I find myself wishing they didn't as I'd rather read the text. XIV (along with Mass Effect) is one of the few that I didn't mind it. In Mass Effect, well what can I say? I always played as Fem!Shep. Anything Jennifer Hale says is music to one's ears.
EDIT: Let's not forget the Narrator from Bastion, too. That's like, one of the top 3 best things about Bastion.
