read this comment in youtube yesterday. it sounded something like this...

it is better NOT to have the characters' voice in rpg because we can imagine their voices which suit best, and dont need to argue the voice is dumb or whatsoever.

yea, it is so true. just like in final fantasy 10 i feel like yuna got a nice physical appearance but a ....... somehow disappointing voice for me.

and in the case of novel, the author just describe how the characters look like, then we imagine their appearance. so the one who is described as nice, will appear in my mind as my dream girl. some sort like this. then the gangster with a big keloid on his forehead, i will imagine him like having my keloid on his forehead HAHAHAHA... etc.

so, leaving a space for imagination is important, for all the producers. and for readers or players or viewers, having their own imagination can enhance the effect of the stories to be told.
