I just use the heroic/legendary alternative launcher for any single player games I actually want to play from egs. It’s open source and gives epic less footprint on my machine.
Unfortunately if you want to do anything multiplayer then you need the real client.
And then you have zero/azure and cold steel which DO have voice acting…
What makes the series a marathon is after every minor event, every character everywhere has new text to read… which can get exhausting if you’re ocd. Plus there are missable quests and items that can trigger fomo.
But still love the world building and there were times that certain reveals elicited audible gasps and I even squealed like a little girl when one of my favorite playable characters from sky returned in the later games.
Knowing the series is officially ending is disappointing but understandable. There just hasn’t been any other rpg that has retained the same cast, setting, and well… world as any other that I can recall. And that’s a shame.
