Hello there,
no, this is not about bloopers during voice recording (although this would be fun as well, don't let me stop you!)
Another wonderful exciting and interesting short story appeared on the Lodestone. Another time where half the people I recommend them to say they don't want to read (for various reasons not to be discussed here) but would love to listen to them, would they exist as audio book. It also would make the stories way more accessible to visually impaired people. Of course a fan or so could just start reading them and put them on Youtube but this is likely going to be a big copyright issue, and it shouldn't be on us to provide this to begin with.
Please, it doesn't have to be a full audio play with multiple people per story, just have one person read them and upload this alongside the text. You could choose the VA of a character most relevant to a story (Kan-E-Senna for stories regarding her background) or have all Stormblood stories read by Hien's actor or all Dawntrail stories read by Gulool Ja Ja's actor or so. (Maybe don't choose VAs of characters the opinion of the community vary a lot though, but I doubt anyone would object e.g. to Lord Aymeric's or Estinien's VA reading all HW stories.) Or ask one person to do them all, whatever. Just give us more than plain text, please!
These stories are gorgeous, happy, sad, funny, devastating, depending on the story, and full of additional interesting lore. They deserve more attention and more accessibility, to reach as many people as possible.
