    How many JRPGs or just Japanese games in general have full voice acting? I’m sure it’s more than I’m estimating, but ime, most mainstream games made in Japan don’t have full voice acting.

      A fair bunch of then to be honest. Familiar with the issue.

      Atelier solved this problem, but back then were jus the “dot sounds” (but it could be my memory playing tricks on me, let me double check on youtube… .yeah the PS3 games already had voices). The Trails series uses the famous dot (also on PS3), and it work fine, a few camera angles and some “dot” sounds and you have already a pretty good cutscene. Better than just silence. Fire Emblem from the DS (or 3DS I may be wrong) had voiced for most of the game too, with the same simple camera angles and voices.

      You can also say that I’ve ommited dozens of games that have no voice, and that’s fine. What I’m saying is, dont need to be silent and no cameras. You can use the ideas that I suggested on the post, grab something from other titles, the dot sound is basic, simple and you can already give some personality, some will have a stronger deeper “dot” sound, while other will have a light pitch dot.
