When might the soundtrack for this release?
Oh, the humble life of a healer.
Nah, I'm on Adamantoise.
And the subtle ways we can stick it back to 'em!
It extends to real life healers, too. We just want to help you!
I always thought being a healer sucked. No respect at all. I recall in FFXI how people would price gouge White Mages with the Raise II spell. The cost of that spell was insane in the auction house and it made absolutely no sense. White Mage can't use it on themselves! They use it to help YOU!
lol . . .A boss in Aurum Vale does the same thing too. Just like 1.x! You need to have your battle log filtered to pay attention or it's wipe
These cutscenes are cool, but the voice acting is LOL worthy at times. The english voice actors just can't seem to emote, they're talking normally throughout their lines despite even being in war or something occurring.
This character's voice in particular was horrendous with that specific aspect.
I'm gonna try the Japanese voices.

Yeah, all of that boss' special attacks are AoE in some nature and yet none of them have the telegraphs.
My one complaint is the lack of consistency.

Like leaving all those dead DPS in the field after a tough FATE?

......wait you can fucking change the voice?!
That's sort of the beauty of Coincounter. He was an absolute bastard like that in 1.x. Now its the same thing but fast paced. Hope you don't lag!
Kan-E-Senna's Japanese voice is great. It's Rie Tanaka.These cutscenes are cool, but the voice acting is LOL worthy at times. The english voice actors just can't seem to emote, they're talking normally throughout their lines despite even being in war or something occurring.

But the difference in scripts is really jarring - the English localisation team really rewrote a lot of the characters' personalities and mannerisms. It doesn't work too well reading the English script with the Japanese voices, sadly.

Her voice was way too calm in certain cutscenes. I've noticed she never changed her tone at all.

The problem is that while the Japanese voice acting is pretty great all around, the Japanese script is dull as hell and vastly inferior to the English script.
If you know both languages, it's jarring to hear them say things that are completely different in Japanese while reading the English text.
I ended up switching to English voices because the script is better, even though the voices are pretty =|

Now this is fucking interesting.
People were saying this quiet a bit a while back too. The English script injected a lot of personality to all the characters. The Japanese version is apparently dull as hell.
I'm just scanning the dialogue at this point and just plain skipping the story stuff. It's so bad and drags on forever!
Well, I played 11 hours today (... Jesus...) and I ran across some of the best writing, dialogue, characters, and gameplay scenarios that I've seen in any Final Fantasy game, and I have beat every single main one.
Amazing.
There is just too much of it for my liking. I prefer FFXI style were cutscenes were few but very meaningful.
Ugh. Linking main story missions to the duty finder is a horrible idea. It's been 50 minutes now and still nothing. I'm assuming it's because I'm a Thaumaturge as well. So many DPS classes. I have no desire to really level up tank or healer though. This is likely what is going to cause me not to subscribe once the free time is out if the server issues do finally get fixed. I haven't waited around this long for a group since Everquest 1 and that was the primary reason why I got sick of that game after sticking with it for so long. Sure I can grind levequest but that's really boring when I just want to progress the story.
Well, I absolutely despise almost everything about Final Fantasy XI, so that shows where I'm coming from.
I didn't really get very far into that one, though, only put like 15 hours into it before giving up. That was 9 years ago, though, I barely even remember anything about why I wasn't enjoying it at all.

I just got the PS3 CE in my hands. How long should I expect to wait before ill actually be playing the game? (installs, patches and whatnot)

So how do you level up the other classes after you have done a few. Even with the bonus, it's become a nightmare as I'm running out of lowbie quests. Fates are essentially what I'm going to be stuck doing? It's nice that you can do any class you want, but there is a severe lack of content to support this outside of tons of grinding.

Fates and the hunting log. Fates seem grindy, but ig you get at least one buddy with you, it's not so bad.
Also, don't forget your levequests for a bit of a bump while you wait for fates.
She looks like that sort of emotionless character though so maybe it's appropriate.
Yup.
System Configuration -> Cutscene Audio
Believe me, it does not match at all. Even "emotionless" characters have some bit of alteration in the tone of their voice when the situation fits. This is merely the voice actor not doing tone correctly. I mean the voice itself is okay, but the way she speaks the same in every happenstance isn't good. There's one part where this guy is screaming in-game because someone
died and it was as if he was trying to force it without raising his voice tone at all.
Hmm...I suppose I'll just have to see how it is when I get to more story scenes. Thanks for the info.
If all else fails I can see if I can just turn off the voices during cutscenes and read it like FFXI.

Just finished the story. That was pretty legit. Probably the best Final Fantasy I have played since FXII and probably in my top 5. The voice acting was pretty meh, I almost wanted to shut it off since having Japanese voice overs isn't going to do much for me. That second to last or maybe 3rd to last boss fight was amazingly well done and really fun. Coming into this I was a bit worried about the encounter design since I have found a lot of non-WoW MMO boss encounters to be pretty lacking but this games boss encounters are really great.
Healed for the first time with a SCH as a WHM and I really like the synergy between the 2 classes. Much more than my first two full parties where I had 2 WHM.

Slipstream has no red cone. If your tank isn't aware it will be a very hard fight for the healer. It helps if the people in your group have played MMOs which don't have red indicators on the grounds and are experienced with just watching the boss for the tells that they are doing a skill. This game also has a bat that fills up above the bosses HP batrwhich is a tell for charging a skill without the indicator.
Hiding behind the columns is exciting too for the same reason.

Got home from work and logged in smoothly no queue or nothing. Beautiful
Yeah, dialogue is top notch, just wish it were acted better. Particularly the ul'dah general.

can't get over how gorgeous this game is. They really stepped it up.
It truly is amazing. I can't wait to see Costa del Sol. I've never played an MMO that's looked this good.
