That voice acting take comes across as him lying because no sane person actually thinks the ARR voices are better. He's probably just going off of what he saw Asmon do during his play-through. Also Asmon agreeing makes no sense considering in the past he's literally said the Heavensward voices were mostly better with a couple of exceptions.
The game is just garbage anti mmo on rails bland, boring and too long story simulator why do weebs can't stop coping that it ain't shit when everyone can see that it's shit even after giving it a fair try of 200hrs+
Realm reborn actors were so boring and bland. It got much better when they recast.
i just didnt like the gameplay, felt so clunky to me
for once i agree with mccock. the msq was terrible and dull.
Merlwyb is definitely the exception and not the rule. I think just generally the team that did the ARR voice acting was generally lacking in experience, budget and direction. Gaius was also pretty good. The praetorium monologue is legendary for a reason. But then you look at the Scions, and like, basically none of them had very good voice acting in ARR.
What's funny is that to a lot of people who's not necessairly from the US or Canada, we hear american accents.
So it's not necessairly true for everyone that some actors didn't have an IRL accent etc. But obviously I'd still wager UK, Irish, AU/NZ accents stand out quite a bit, even more so than US accents, with the exceptions of when they have a strong regional dialect, southern US accents being an example.
i think this is the first time McConnel gave a semi-serious answers why he didn't like FFXIV
the voicechange was jarring at first but after 3 expansions worth of content everything sounds right except Raubahn
hey man, he gave it a shot. i like both games but you like what you like and if you don't like something, that's fine.
Ye the change in va was a deep one for me as well sadly the new char I liked who actress got murdered was horrific to hear and sad the one who took over had to much accent
So if he skipped the story he would of stayed?
Stick to it even if it sucks, or what's the moral of this story?
As a person who has completed the entire FF14 story and played every game in the series I can finally say I have found the only person to agree with me, I myself much prefer ARR voice actors
Bro its okay if people don't like it. I played through the story right before Endwalker and no matter how much my friends TOLD me it was good I kept feeling like falling asleep while playing. It was very boring to me.
Before you try to figure out McConnells experience with FF listen to what he actually says. He made it to Ala Mhigo (assume he's 100% talking about Little Ala Mhigo here), which means he made it to around level 25. Then he starts complaining that the voice actors changed from ARR to HW, but he never even made it to HW???
Biggest true by McConnell, never a truer statement has been said in the history of mankind. Dog shit ass, stupid ass bull shit game.
Wtf kind of bullshit limits most melee classes besides wannabe Jackie Chan and long pole user to being tanks.
One look at the class selection screen and i was out.
Dark knight should be big damage.
it all came down to budget and the amount of shifting when heading into Heavensward, lots of changes and majority for the better. valid reasons and can always agree that more Ws over Ls were achieved.
I really don't think that Asmon remembers the voice acting in ARR if he thinks it was better rofl…
HONESTLY, I didn't realize it was changed from the first time I played the HW expansion, I just realize it like when i'm browsing and found out later… story voicing is not really matters to me but I believe some people did because of the immersion. However, I think personally if you are a combat focus guy like Mcconnell and suddenly the reason you quit is because of story element, that's new to me xD
But i'm glad he's trying, at least I respect that much 🙂
He quit because he got as much money from the community as he thinks he can, that’s the cold hard truth 🤷♂️ Now, he’s back simping for a shit company that obviously pays him. Anyone who still plays any Activision/Blizzard games is saying that everything they did, including bullying a woman into committing suicide, was perfectly ok. Absolutely disgusting 😡
i cant blame McConnell on that, i watch Anime a bunch and VA's changing can be very alienating. that would be like Thrall not having that deep voice that you know and love, or Sylvanas, Varian, etc. fans will always identify the character with their original Voice Actor, and when that VA is gone, well… you may as well kill off the character at that point, cause it's never gonna be the same.
Imagine thinking anime VA’s from Funimation were better then the British Doctor Who radio drama VA’s that have classical training… Zack just can’t help being an idiot sometimes 🙄 This is all just for the views and comments for the algorithms. It’s what he does best 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Um I lost emersion through gameplay. it took forever to get some neat abilities and then it would scale me down and REMOVE my abilities when I did MSQ instance events and Dungeons. it was pissing me off. To be fair I guess mainly lancer is like that. But that’s the game design fault not mine. So I quit.
I would also do a dungeon for the first time and my quest gear was better. Making annoying for one losing my ability and two loot was pointless. Was a waste of my time.
You guys haven’t gotten to the good meat of the game in FFXIV. It gets way better leading into Shadowbringers; the story just explodes.
Alexstrasza: do I give big mom energy?
To be fair for the Alphinaud take, he did in fact went through puberty across the expansions.
And while he was in fact an insufferable know it all during ARR, that is not who he ends up maturing into and the VA change is meant to reflect this.
I'm confused cause every time I watched the credits at the end of any xpac, I always saw multiple names under the characters so I always assumed it was more than one person for each character anyway. Am I wrong?
wow i didn't even realize that the voice actors changed
It is sucks he quit right before it gets good…. and now he has an impression that thats how the whole game is…. But it does get better. Like everyone knows that. So i dont think its fair to judge it based souly off of ARR.
This is coming from a guy who couldn’t even finish the game 😂
The reason i didn't like ff14 is because IDGAF about quests and a story. If i wanted to learn about lore or a story I would go read an actual novel that is a masterpiece work of art. If I wanted to just do mindless, boring PVE quests, I would play Skyrim or some PVE nerd game. In an MMO I just want to kill other players and shit with a giant sword. I don't need to be spoon-fed a narrative or some oscar nominated cinematics/ sundance film festival storyline, just give me some good class designs and let me figure shit out on my own. I like sandbox MMOs and FF14 is a hand holding theme park ride with cookie cuttered classes and gear. If you need a story to make you happy, go watch more dog shit Hulu and Netflix originals, lol, you know you like them, scrubs. FF14 is just pure dog shit, McConnell is correct.
