That elf chick is hardcore. She probably coulda solo'd it.

English lip-syncing. Bravo.

That elvaan sounds boss. That guy needs to do more VA roles.

English lip-syncing. Bravo.

I believe they only have english voice acting. Japanese have SUBTITER ONRY.

[Lucavi]

Oh shit, that's nice to hear.

[Spira]

that is pretty nice..
i think they showed this before no?
I think at the closed screening last year?

[Null]

Just a tiny bit of it, not the whole thing.

[Hyan]

They did show the whole thing, but not to the public.

First time was during the VanaFest this year iirc. Elmer made a report about it.

[Crizto]

That looked so cool Nice work on the VA

[Shade]

Wow. That felt more "Final Fantasy" to me than anything I've seen in a pretty long time... nice.

Voices are terrible, and all the expensive CG won't matter if gameplay blows.

I enjoyed the beginning and especially the "party battle" against the mob. Though, maybe i am being a little picky now and say that the "Final shot" wasn't that great. I liked that the mage gave the arrow some fire effect, but i was hoping for a "team kill".

Putting the small things aside, the "mid" phase of the video with the flying airships and just fighting all over was confusing to me. I didn't really understand the meaning of the scene, because in my eyes it was just a bunch of ships and a monster blasting something. Anyways, the ending was really cool and reminded me that this is what FF video is supposed to be like.

The Fire/Arrow thing was a visual manifestation of a Battle Regime... which is very "team kill." They didn't even end up killing it anyways, an airship sat on it.

Second, please go to the official site and READ the story concept. What you just watched will make complete sense.

I'm not a fan of that Elezen's but... wow. You're just trying to be a Negative Nancy, aren't you...

[Charismatic]

Not really, the voice work was pretty damn bad aside from the Hyur at the end. Voice-acting in XIV has been sub-par on the whole... commenting on that doesn't really mean he's trying to be a negative nancy but rather is just giving his opinion.
If you think the VAs are great I don't think anyone's going to jump down your throat so why not leave the man at it? Eh?

[miokomioko]

You've got to be kidding me.

[Blasta]

Yeah sorry Mio, i forgot to read the story. About the voice acting, yeah i kind of agree too that the voice acting could've been better.
