Oh of course. It'd be silly to expect award winning performances from MMOs, games that traditionally don't even have tons of voice acting.
But, at the same time, it is Square Enix, which tends to budget in a b-list voice actors. I'm more or less judging it by the same standard as FFX or FFXII, than say WoW or GW2. And in comparison it just feels like instead of hiring voice actors, they grabbed some guys from the bus station and told them "Try really hard to sound really serious."
Like I said though, I acknowledge I am being dramatic. Read everything I say on the matter as hyperbole~
