Why do devs think this is OK?
It's 2018.
Adding voices to games is MANDATORY now.
>inb4 it doesn't NEED voice acting
And I don't NEED whiny little fanbois.
If you don't play every video game on mute with subtitles, you're hypocritical.
If you don't only read the lyrics to songs and listen to them, you're hypocritical.
If you don't watch movies and tv on mute and with subtitles, you're hypocritical.
If you don't only use sign language to communicate with people, you're hypocritical.
Voice acting ruined Elder Scrolls
Not all games need voice acting
It only sucks because the voicework for DQ8 was so damn good.
90% of the games I play don't have voice acting, it's completely uneccesary I don't need to hear some faggots voice they usually ruin games I'd rather imagine how they sound
Dragon Quest exists for the sake of nostalgia. The graphics might occasionally update but everything else is to be as archaic as possible.
Oh no, some talentless American voice actors won't get a paycheck. I'm so sad.

99% of voice over work is done in Canada by Canadians though, literally every anime dub is Canadian
I exclusively watch silent films, sound ruined movies. Mary Pickford is my Hollywood waifu. What now faggot?
Square Enix does most of their VO work from over in Europe.
This, but whatever.
I’m still buying it on day 1, even if they don’t add VO for the western localization.
It’s a good thing to have but not a deal breaker.
When did it become socially acceptable to pretend voice acting is good?
I don't care, Square Enix doesn't exist to me I exclusively play Square soft and Enix games and they have no voice acting
Fuck voice acting in games.
It was actually surprising the work they did to localized DQ8. Voicework where the original had none, and orchestrated music compared to simple synthed tunes.
Shame the 3DS port ditched both.
This is some solid bait
I prefer games that are text-based to remain as such, the voice acting is usually overlaid and takes longer to hear than it does to read.
This is the lamest post ive seen in a long time. Shut the fuck up man.
I typically advance text when I'm done reading so if a game has voice acting it's usually skipped over.
not even japan defends this
everyone is sick of backwards traditionalist thinking
It doesn't have voice acting because of the same reason that Son Goku is voiced by a centenary grandma: Japanese hate change.
...
Fuck off, illiterate.
yeah I do all this shit, what now faggot?
Dragon Quest is the Wizardry of Japan. If you're complaining that it's too old fashioned then it's not for you.
oh geez wiz how will i ever counter these factual statements.
dyslexic fags being dyslexic every time
Zelda only got voice acting for the first time in a game that released last year, and yet nobody was really complaining about that, why should DQ be any different? Especially considering both franchises are known for having silent protagonists.
>Adding voices to games is MANDATORY now.
why?
No
:(
>OP isn't using speech-to-text to write his posts
>OP isn't making videologs to transcribe his posts instead of writing them down
>OP isn't hacking into Sup Forums to force anons to listen to a .wav of his posts
0/10 called the cops bought a dog
Not even a Dragon Quest fan (nothing against it, just haven't played any) and this doesn't bother me.
I hate voice acting and it’s a budget drain, fuck off retard. Half the time I have to turn it off anyway because dumbass publishers make games dub only.
I'm deaf, so all of the above. Eat a dick.
Its an easy thing to explain in Japan. Because this title is basically adhering to nostalgia. Hell in the Japanese version of DQ 8, they have an option to enable 8bit sound effects. I don't mind it personally because I usually skip va and just read boxes anyway,.
>If you don't play every video game on mute with subtitles
but I unironically do
So does the boss of this game have some turn people into mind controlled monster slaves powers in canon? Because all the hentai artists seem to be leaping on this train and all their doujins share that plot.
This, but unironically.
I don't usually have any sound on for games whatsoever, and no voice acting means there can be more writing for a lot cheaper, it's not a terrible thing.
are you fucking retarded?
>Ugh, It's [insert current year]
Do you know how much of a mongoloid you sound when you say that?

It's 2018.
Adding multiplayer to games is MANDATORY now.

If you don't talk to other people, you're hypocritical.
If you don't interact, you're hypocritical.
If you don't need, you're hypocritical.
If you don't post on a chinese video games board which means you interact with other people, you're hypocritical.
voice acting is a waste of time and money
Voice acting is nice but it is a budget hog and in fuck long RPGs you end up speed reading half of it and only hear "There is. You. And furthermore. See y-."
>Adding voices to games is MANDATORY now.
opinion discarded
thats like saying all books need to be audio books from now on, if the medium is flexible why not make use of it
DQ8's voice acting was stupid, they never addressed the main character by the name I gave him (BitchAssPussy), instead he was always "guv" or some lazy bullshit.
IT IS 2018 AND GAMES SHOULD EITHER CALL MY CHARACTER BY NAME OR HAVE NO VOICE ACTING AT ALL.
Voice acting actually ruined JRPGs because of cultural differences, the language barrier, and the discrepancy between how developers and especially localization teams see characters, archetypes , and tropes Vs how players see them.
I don't understand why people play these games anyway.
>no story
>no characterization
>most generic, vanilla, turn-based combat possible
Persona >> Dragon Quest
Final Fantasy >> Dragon Quest
This and Fallout as well. Morrowind > Skyrim & Oblivion for many reasons, but the lack of voice acting is one of them.
Is this the new "fun is just a buzzword" meme or is he serious?
...
>you're hypocritical
Yes and?
It's fun though. It's pure JRPG gameplay without all the fluff or fantasy politics.
>"complete meal"
>20% per serving
Soys eat 5 meals a day?
Memes aside it's extremely easy to fill your daily macros with normal protein shakes rather than paying for overpriced shit like that.
Congratulations on all the (you)s you're getting with your bait thread, OP.
I turned off the voice acting when I played DQ8 back then. It felt forced and tacked on even if it was decent voice acting.
Soy is illegal
>I don't NEED whiny
why are you whining fag?
"No".
.
Binary thought and the complete lack of contextual understanding. 90% change of this fucker being a legit autist.
What do you mean? They'd be Japanese voices.

yo congrats on your semi-successful bait thread dude
