Silence is golden?

[lnicol1990]

Hey, I'm making a game and I've been wondering...
Is it, or is it not, a good idea to add voices in my game?

You know, like on FFX, or Kingdon Hearts?

Is it a good idea, or am I just putting too much on my plate?

I believe there is a thread like this in RMXP discussion, seems this is less "general support".

My personal stance is that that'd be a bad idea, regardless of how talented the voice actors are. But it often comes down to personal preference; I just feel that two dimensions doesn't work particularly well for voice action.

If you have to ask others whether or not it's putting too much on your plate, then it probably is.

it's the wide variety of voice actors you'd need.
I personally hate all british or all amerian actors (mainly found in popular games) in a game, especially RPG's with a whole world. you'd need to create your own accents to pull it off properly and that requires lots of people with talent. Unless you go for the less nit-picky approach...

OBS you mean voice editing right?

Thanks.
I don't think I will.

Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays!
