Just a quick comment on voice-acting:

I really do like it. But growing up playing games, there was never any voice acting. Especially in many RPGs. So, to add voice acting to a game like Zelda which has always had those funny little "hey!" and "tee-hee" etc that kind mentioned would completely ruin the characters.

A little bit of a different analogy I guess... but it sort of relates to what nate was talking about in books. Think of when you are reading a book and you picture everything from the characters, the scenery, etc. and then it becomes a movie. That's ALL gone. And, it doesn't fit.

I'm not saying voice acting is a bad thing, but it doesn't always have to be there for everything.

BTW, actual input on the thread:

Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Finished up a boss I was "stuck" on (well, only tried fighting him once and got wrecked then never tried again until yesterday lol) and got him on my second try (so actually, third overall). It was on the celestial ship, went back to Triom, found deep space 9 and acquired Bacchius (sp?). Who knows... went through an annoying dungeon where these stupid invisible walls kept pushing me back into enemies. About 61% of my battles were surprise attacks, 24% were ambushes, 11% were normal, and 4% were preemptive. WTF! Now awaiting to take out some big boss but I saved and went out to the movies.

Chrono Trigger:
Not sure where I was, what I was supposed to do, etc. Looked up a FAQ and I was at "Break the seal." For any of you who know where this is, it's right before the time machine. So, now I got this freakin' space ship thing. Basically played for 30 minutes and saved and turned it off. Why? Because the 30 minutes I "played," at least 8 of them were spent waiting for the menu to load or the screen to change because you stare at a black screen for 30 offing seconds! F Ll C l<

Dude, you are so closed minded it's kind of sad. Did it ever occur to you that reading gives depth of character that opens many avenues of interpretation that voice acting does not? Or that people like to focus on the text and not a movie-lite? Or 10,000 other reasons? Or does that just not matter because they're not your opinion?
Not giving the characters a voice does not give depth. It just gives you a voice in your head that you would associate with that character. A voice actor gives it one more thing to identify the character with, and I am NOT close minded. You are. That's why you hate voice acting. God forbid I point out a HUGE FUCKING FLAW in your argument against voice acting. You are just angry that I found a flaw in your argument, so you decided to sling insults at me and call me close minded like a child.

I'm not angry at all, guy. Calm down. :lol:

I don't care what you prefer. I'm just telling you what I prefer. You're free to love voice acting. You've just got to learn to respect other people's opinions. Some of us don't like it. AND, this part here is the kicker, we're not wrong because we like something different than you. ;)

SO: The Last Hope

What was everyone's party? I wanted to do some research. Since I won't be investing a ton of time playing this game, I don't want to waste skills on characters I won't be using. The research I did, many people had Arumat in their party and also a healer... lot's of people mentioned Sarah.

I also know for sure Edge will be in it.... Any suggestions?

I changed mine constantly. Reimi and Sarah were pretty much constants. Edge/Arumat usually was one of the roles and Meracle/Myuria was usually the other.

I know how to respect other peoples opinions. I would like to know when you are going to learn to respect mine. "I hate voice acting" is an incredibly close minded statement, you know.

He told you why he doesn't prefer it in some cases. You told him why you did prefer it. Give it the fuck up man. You annoy everyone when you pull this shit like you don't know how the read anyone's damn post. Did it ever occur to you why so many people across many forums don't like you or why you are not allowed back there?

Sometimes you just need to shut up, seriously.

I pointed out the flaw in his so called reasoning. He had no real reason.

I am allowed on plenty of forums and plenty of people like me. Shows what you know.

Be proactive, TFM. I've been chill, so this hasn't escalated like it normally does, but you really should step in before people lose their cool. I think some degree of actual moderation wouldn't be out of place from a moderator. Control the problem beforehand instead of playing clean up after the fact. :thumb2:
