i requested this years ago but i would once more like to make this request
short version:
please allow all voice options to be pickable on character creation, regardless of if some of them might not 'sync' properly with animations
and/or
add a silent voice option as an option on character creation
and no, turning voice volume to 0 is not what im looking for, i wouldnt want to rob others of their voice
long version:
as a mute irl, theres a degree of immersiveness i don't feel when my created player character speaks. as this is largely just minor noises, grunts, cheers, and so on in FFXIV this has rarely bothered me, but even more notable.. theres even a voice that ive resonated with. its the kind of voice i wish i could have irl. the feeling have about it is complicated.. but i really like it.. and that makes it difficult because the voice option is only available for lalafell and miqo'te, but not for au ra, which id really love to play. changing from lalafell to au ra and being forced to pick a different voice that i disassociate from far more just.. feels uncomfortable, and so i go back to lalafell almost immediately (and im not really interested in playing miqo'te, i like them i just dun wanna be one).
as a result, i would like to ask that the voice options be expanded, or made complete unrestricted, during character creation when this upcoming big customization expansion occurs. it would make me really happy to be able to have my voice of choice on any race i choose to play, even if it might seem a bit off for some animations, and i know many others feel the same (about this and many other things, like with those shouting that they'd happily accept clipping if it meant longer hair options or tushy sliders).
alternatively, the option to have a completely silent player character would also be fantastic to me, and i know many others would love to use that for their stoic and/or strong, silent-type characters.
either of these would put me over the moon.. and i know many others would love to have them as well.
please consider this addition for the character customization update we're to see in the future, square enix!
