HAY GUYZ ITS GENBU UPDATE!!!111

Announcing the “We Dub to Make it Ours” Contest! (08/27/2012)

The "Fate of Eorzea" trailer came from Yoshi-P,
And in his diligence, crafted scenes of unimaginable epicness

In mere weeks, the Community Team planned it out

The most amazing voices among us will be spared,
Sent beyond the reach of the internet, where they remained

Until now…

A new voice-over is upon us, and we dub to make it ours!

Think you have what it takes to narrate the "Fate of Eorzea" trailer? The Community Team challenges you to create your own version of the trailer’s voice over for fun and a chance to win some luscious loot!

We will be providing everyone with a script and the "Fate of Eorzea" trailer without voice-over. All you need to do is record your own voice-over audio and submit it. No need to worry about incorporating it into the video!

Entry Period
August 27, 2012 to September 7, 2012 11:59 PM PDT

Entry Method
Submit either a link to your audio file or the audio file itself to the below contest email address with the subject line "FFXIV Dub Contest":

http://static.finalfantasyxiv.com/to.../64/6143_0.jpg

Please include the following information in your email:

• Character name
• World name
• Forum name (if applicable)

If submitting audio files, please note the below:

• The file size cannot exceed 10MB.
• Any file extension is acceptable.

Tips
For those players not unfamiliar with how to record audio with their computers, we recommend the following:

• A microphone is useful, but you don't need top of the line equipment to make your recording! Many gaming headsets feature microphones that should do the job just fine or any other standalone microphone you have should also be okay. Don't have a mic? Most laptops have built in-microphones, or you can use your cell phone to make a recording (further details below)!
• Utilize the "Sound Recorder" program that comes with the Windows operating system.
• Utilize SoundCloud or a similar audio hosting site. This will allow you to record and host your audio, so that all you need to do is send the link to your voice-over entry.
• Utilize SoundCloud's mobile phone application for quick and easy uploads. (iOS/Android)
• Read some recording tips on the SoundCloud site.
• You can also use the "Voice Memos/Recording" feature available on most mobile phones and email yourself the file for submission.

*Be sure to record in a quiet location away from outside noise!

Listen to Bayohne's sample - "I realize I pronounced Garleans wrong. I hope the Localization guys don't listen to this."
Listen to Camate's sample - "I feel like my "Until now!" part was a bit too anti-climatic. I was so excited, then got to that part and I dunno what happened... http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/i...lies/frown.png"
Listen to Rukkirii's sample - "Maybe my voice can be pulled off as a Miqo'te? Just pretend that it can. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/i...ies/tongue.png"
Listen to Okipuit's sample - "Clearly, I have never done voice acting... UNTIL NOW."

[miokomioko]

The scarf is in the game and has been a reward for pretty much every contest thus far. It has no notable stats written on it but I believe a community rep has hinted at there being something hidden about it... no idea what it could be though.

[Raldo]

If there's a hidden effect, I can only imagine it's something cosmetic. Should have someone try /laugh with it on and see if it sounds funny or something. I don't know anyone with the scarf.
