If you’re making a female Au Ra… then I honestly feel sorry for you… …sorry because you have SO MANY good voices to choose from! Somebody at SE CLEARLY has a thing for reptiles. (RIP rabbits) Here’s what I think about some of them: -Voice 1 is pretty good. Very Japanese-sounding. -I think a lot of otakus fantasize about having an ultra-cute little sister… with voice 2. -3 and 5 are both pretty damn solid, too. -You find a live cockroach in your shoe. #Voice6 (05:30) -Voice 9… Hmm… FFXIV is rated T for… blood, language, partial nudity, and… there it is: SEXUAL THEMES! Keep your ERP in /tell, please! -Voice 10 is… veeery very good. Very realistic female voice. Nothing too fancy; just believable af. -12 isn’t bad! …but you only get 3 unique voice clips! Wtf! If I played a female Au Ra, I’d struggle VERY, VERY hard to really choose between 3 and 10. I think I’m SLIGHTLY leaning more towards 10, but this is the sort of thing that I would spend way too much time deciding, so… I’m glad I don’t have to make this choice. Lol Lot of very solid choices for the lizard ladies. Good job, SE! What about you guys? Did you struggle picking your favorite like I did? Or is there one that’s just miles above the rest for you?

This is fantastic. Thanks so much for making something like this. I love that you have them all in here for people to hear.

Very glad to help! =) I'm very careful to make sure that my audio settings are exactly the same every time I record for these videos. Inconsistency like that would bug the hell out of me. lol I've gotten requests to add emotes to these videos as well from quite a few people now. Initially, I didn't think that people would care much about emote voices... but, clearly, I was totally wrong about that. lol For the sake of consistency, I won't be adding them to these "battle voices" videos, but I may do separate videos for emotes in the future. I need to do some testing because there MAY be a relatively simple-ish way for me to do that without having to create 12 characters per race--like I'm doing now. lol

I love everything about it, but that one high-pitched battle cry sounds like it's from an entirely different voice actor (a bit disconcerting with the normally deeper quality). I just assumed Au Ra had high combat voices by default. Cheers! I'm really happy I can switch to something that better fits my character! And fair warning to those fellow dragon dragoons out there: you're going to be hearing that battle cry on virtually every combo. Choose with care.

Unfortunately all of these voices are pretty expressive (none of them are really monotone at all), especially given that they literally have to “emote” the various actions that their voices are tied to. I’d say if you want something *vaguely* close to monotone, I’d go voice 10 for an overall non-intrusive nor overly aggressive set of combat noises, but once again, the emote noises are just as emotional as the others… hope that helps, though!
