Honestly the writing often felt a lot better when it was simpler combined with no voice acting. The convolution combined with the voice acting really makes a lot of modern jrpgs just impossible to bear.

    I honestly think RPGs should by default have no voice acting. That should be the standard. Voice acting just so heavily constrains the writing, and bogs down the development. Writers can't just write as much bullshit as they want because every single line has to take up time in a fucking studio.

    Animal crossing/star fox system is the way to go. The character gets a handful of chirps and one or two unique ones to really sell a big scene.
