Really surprised to hear about this. I enjoyed the VA in Dragon Quest 8 alot and pretty much every game now days has VA. Very disappointing in what otherwise looks to be a good game :/
My top 10 PS4 games = FFX HD, The Last of Us Remastered, Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, Persona 5, Yakuza 0, FF12 HD, Until Dawn, Journey.

Yeah, kind of worried about this, too. Voice acting in DQVIII was great, which makes me hope they add it in the NA version of DQXI. I don't think the original DQVIII had a Japanese VO, either, so... here's hoping.

Haeravon posted...Amplifier316 posted...Source? "Unfortunately, there won’t be character voices in the game on either PS4 or 3DS, which is something Dragon Quest fans will be used to." Yes, they started out talking about the protagonist, but they didn't say the protagonist wouldn't be voiced, they said "there won't be character voices". Plural. That might make sense if there was CAC and whatever character you made wouldn't be voiced (Dragon Age: Origins), but that's not the case here. Just my interpretation.

That's good to hear. Honestly, voice acting's overrated, especially in RPGs. It just needlessly bloats the budget, and forces limitations on the story-telling.

What writing creativity does DQ have? lol. If anything voice acting should make up for the generic stories.
Maybe they will add Western voice acting, thats why it hasn't been announced for Western release yet. Traveling through a giant open world and long story silently just doesn't seem right to me these days. Your having cinematic cutscenes without voice. Its like watching a TV show or movie and theres no voices, but subtitles instead. Its not a 2d rpg, theres cinematic scenes.

I'd rather them focus on the writing. Although overall I prefer VIII overall, VII had one advantage in the insane amount of text for every little thing. Many NPCs you talk to, you could get specific party chat about what they said right after. VIII didn't have nearly as much detail. |

Fine by me, to be honest. Voice acting is not something that I consider essential, to be honest.

No voiceacting? Dragon Quest VIII has some of the most awesome voice acting ever. Everytime that game doesn't have voiceacting in a scene, it loses so much. This can't be right. My hype for this game dropped like hell right now. (And yes I've played games way before they had voice acting, and some of my favorite RPGs of all time doesn't have it. That doesn't make this any less lame.)
Lesser games without voiceacting is fine, but a grand scope, major RPG? How many mediocre NIS RPGs have voice acting?

Yeah, no. The two versions look nothing alike, so there's no reason to think that the 3DS came up at all when they were deciding whether to add voice acting into the PS4 version or not. And, as with DQVIII, this might not mean Western audiences won't get voice acting in the localized release.

GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 2015, 2017 NBA CHAMPIONSNo original JP release of DQ has had voice acting.
Voice acting for DQVIII (last traditional console release, 2004) only came long for the NA release and in JP for the 3DS re-relase (I think). Maybe they will do the same this time.
It's clear, JP fans of DQ (i.e. where 99% of DQ sales come from) do not care about voice acting and some are probably against it. They'll add it to the West because as this thread proves, people won't buy it otherwise. It'll make localization take longer though.They also redid menus, added orchestral OST, and more for the west among the VA for DQVIII PS2.
They could do something similar for DQXI.
That said, there was probably no plans for VA in 3DS DQXI, and they didn't want to spend the money on VA for the PS4 version alone for Japan.Don't believe mago's lies.

Pretty much. I grew up with Atari and NES, had no problem with reading, and in fact, rpg's on the NES and SNES helped me get into reading science fiction, fantasy, and other types of adventure novels.
It was a real treat when we played Final Fantasy for the first time and got introduced to a story where we had to go out and speak with all the NPC's to figure out where to go and progress, because it was so different from getting the story in a single blurb in the manual, turning the game on, and the main goal is to get to the end of each stage. I loved the concept of what the early rpg's had, that I sought out areas to explore and people to talk to.

I never understood what was so hard about getting decent VA's in a game. You have talented VA's for animated movies, cartoons, and what not, but you can't do this for a video game? Granted, it's probably a budget thing, so you won't want to have somebody who will cost you millions to do the VA for a primary character, but I can't imagine all they can find in the bottom of the pool are people like you described above... and yet, a lot of rpg's feature horrible VA's.

Not me. In fact, I think DQ is one that has kept the main series feeling somewhat recognizable over the past several games compared to Final Fantasy.
But I think you're lumping "you guys" a bit too broadly here. GF isn't one type of gamer who likes one type of thing; it's a variety of gamers who like different things.
The people who are complaining that DQ is not changing and still consider the series old-fashioned are most likely not the same people who grew up with the series (as well as Final Fantasy) and were upset over FFXV. The people who are complaining are probably the people who are new to the series and happy with how Final Fantasy changed, and now they want DQ to change as well.
I hope DQ stays how it is. It at least gives some of the oldies a game they can relate to, and some of us have been shifting more and more towards DQ since Final Fantasy has changed so much. We don't need every rpg to become an FFXV clone.Are people complaining about voice acting the other Dragon Quest games had because they honestly didn't like them or is it because they were voiced by people with accents from various European countries and beyond? If it's the former then alright. If it's the later... well guess what? Dragon Quest games are pretty much always in a medieval Europe setting with it sometimes also having equivalents of places further north and east. They are going to use voices for the characters that match the setting, not a bunch of American voice actors who, while they sound great, would be out of place on such characters.

In fact, I think DQ is one that has kept the main series feeling somewhat recognizable over the past several games compared to Final Fantasy.
But I think you're lumping "you guys" a bit too broadly here. GF isn't one type of gamer who likes one type of thing; it's a variety of gamers who like different things.
The people who are complaining that DQ is not changing and still consider the series old-fashioned are most likely not the same people who grew up with the series (as well as Final Fantasy) and were upset over FFXV. The people who are complaining are probably the people who are new to the series and happy with how Final Fantasy changed, and now they want DQ to change as well.
I hope DQ stays how it is. It at least gives some of the oldies a game they can relate to, and some of us have been shifting more and more towards DQ since Final Fantasy has changed so much. We don't need every rpg to become an FFXV clone.
I think DQVIII should be the standard for the series. That game was old school for all the right reasons but didn't fall back on cheap gimmicks like one dimensional level design and cheap graphics.jhon2345 posted...young gamers are used to voice acting.
old gamers can live without voice acting.
For 2017 game it will have impact on sales.
No it won't. JP Dragon Quest fans (99% of where the sale will come from) don't care about lack of VA because they've never had it.
VA is for the West and re-releases - a tiny part of their income.Billysan posted...

The original DQ8 in Jaoan didn't have VA either. So if they base every new DQ game off this one, prepare to never have any VA ever again.My FC: 5301 2862 3777

In Japan at least.Honestly, I'm more annoyed by the fact it will feature MIDI music because the composer, while musically gifted, is a shitty person."Every single new Final Fantasy game is the one that ruined the franchise forever, and this is obvious the second they announce the title."- Boards

- Apparently Dragon Quest 11 won't have voice acting.
