the main character not having a voice in rpg's is one of my biggest pet peeves of rpg's bc it is just so f'n common. there should not be 6 voice choices per gender if there is no voice. that was a complete waste of the developers time and effort. i think that considering ur character is essientally a part of every dialogue and is frequently asked questions, the character should at least answer with a voice or the player given reply statement options. instead like most other rpgs u just have to assume the character says ok ill do that like a mindless telepathic puppet. voice commands to pawns would have been a nice addition considering all the useless stuff they say, in fact 1/1000 pawn statements r worth listening to and thats probably a nice number. there wasnt really a story or storyline either. a few cg's at the beginning and end dont make a story. its just explaining that u r like every arisen before u. ur heart is ripped out u kill dragon + spirit to become new spirit that gets killed by the next arisen after u, and u start all over... there was more stroyline to ff10's spira at least their spiral of life and death story included voices for the main character. how does a voiceless character fit into a story without a story? at least he doesnt have to explain y it doesnt make sense in that manner
