So true, the XIV voice acting is so bad and what makes it worse is the horribly stiff cutscenes and that stupid open mouth emote they all do repeatedly. Such forced dialogue and horrible accent to go along with it, that was another thing that made the storylines such a slog to progress thru lol. Almost all the NPCs in the game talk the exact same way too.
Yoshida loves this kind of amateur dramatics sounding voice work, he forces it in 14 and 16 and it detracts from the story. He specifically picks voice actors that give this kind of performance and it's awful.
It doesn't sound professional at all.
It's sad cause all other voice work is very high quality in SE games, but not in anything Yoshida does.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
