Title: Will Final Fantasy 10 be silent?
Post by: Animal Mother on December 21, 2000, 01:40:55 PM
I hope Final Fantasy 10 isn\'t silent. With an orchestrated soundtrack (departing from MIDI thank Darwin)

Voices of elementery school kids? Maybe it won\'t be silent at all. What do you think?

If they did make the game an entire talk fest instead of reading I\'d hope they would incorperate a skip button for it. Becuase how many times I play each Final Fantasy game isn\'t funny. After 2 or 3 I just skip most  dialouge.

FF10 will use the new ps2 soundchips
while MIDI I have heard the prelude music from the game and it sound strickingly better. The music quality will be MUCH better then all the other FF\'s.
I just found this info out!

if it was all spoken, then people would bitch about the voice acting. Um. No thanks.

I think, it might be alright if it had text w/voice, but if the summons and magic spells were to have voice (chanting, saying name of spell, etc) it might get somewhat repetitve (Ff8 gf summons, example).

I\'m with \'Clip.  Voice acting kinda detracts from the musical score - particularly if the voice acting is substandard.  Vagrant Story (my personal favorite RPG of all time) was silent, and incredibly well done.  The silence is a good idea if you\'re investing heavily in the music.  In addition to that, it\'s easier to skip text than voice :).

Voice acting would suck... leave it to your imagination. Lousy acting would just ruin the game and your immersion in the game world.

Can\'t wait to hear what Uematsu\'s got in store for us :D

Its like a good book. You read the text and make the voices in your head. You really get personal with the characters in a sense. But, you add voice acting--bad voice acting at that, and it detracts from the whole sense of the characters.

Bad Voice acting detracts, but good voice acting really makes it better.  Like in MGS...excellent voice acting.  It made the game so much better.  I think that if FF put in voice-acting they allow you to skip it just like in MGS.  But, I\'m pretty sure 10 will be silent.
