Yeah but then there'd only be 10-15 different pitches for male and female voices...

And you're stuck with one per week.

Or how about some special algorithm that uses the names of each character to create a unique sound and then the age adjusts the pitch?

This seems more realistic as names are a lot more individualistic than weight and age.

Audio aside, I think it's cool that we'll likely be able to play without instruments. That's the one thing that's kept me away from battlefield overture.

While the Bards uses the instrument to give us even more better buff than by Singing itself anyway.

The reason I liked to do Bard is because you can support the party play very well with the Bard skills, so... hopefully this upgrade won't kill the party support.

It's possible that it will unless singing has a huge penalty for bard skills. Otherwise why have a bard buff you when you can get more overture buffing by self buffing yourself while you have your super swords/bows equipped.

Frankly though, for someone like me who prefers to solo anything and everything. I'd welcome the ability to have really good buffs by myself.

Support? Ha! I'll support myself :lol:

It is techinally still soloing if you take someone, just to provide you with Bard buffs, healing, and reviving since you only do all the fightings.

So I hope Singing get some Bard penalty for not using the instrument/mic... like... lower buff, shorter duration, and longer cooldown. I'm quite worried about the Bard patch.

That way we still have some party play supports, and I don't want everything in Mabinogi to basically become Solonogi.

I rather it be that instruments/maestros receive a bonus to buffs/duration/etc rather than making singing weaker in comparison.

Because soloists are still gonna solo. They'll just take an instrument instead of a person if the difference of being a bard is negligible.

I wish they allowed bards to stack magic music scrolls with buff skills at the very least... Seems like they are ignoring old mechanics and simply adding new things, like singing and savage magic weapons.

Sounds like Animalcrossing talk to me. I don't know why you guys think it sounds god awful. It's not GREAT or that good but it's not making my ears bleed like half the stuff they could have done. :l Be thankful for that.

I actually predicted that's how it'd sound. Also, the more I listen to it, the more it sounds like

inb4 buffs from a singer stack with buffs from a musician

I don't know. It's still better than Sim speak. I'd rather it not be in direct English, either.

It's not as bad as

That's pretty much what they have been doing now for ages.

That's why we'll never get a dungeon renewal...

Omg I bought that game when I was younger, I was thinking oh yeah gonna be so good!

I'd like to point out to everyone who is already fantasizing about how they will use singing...
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][6:17:03 PM] Alexalexalexalex: People are already assuming
[6:17:07 PM] Alexalexalexalex: it uses the normal bard skills
[6:17:08 PM] Alexalexalexalex: to sing
[6:17:17 PM] Alexalexalexalex: Like, it could be totally freaking different
[6:17:29 PM] Alexalexalexalex: I could see it being like
[6:17:41 PM] Alexalexalexalex: While instrument buffs dont have to be continuously played
[6:17:47 PM] Alexalexalexalex: Singing has to be done continuously
[6:17:51 PM] Alexalexalexalex: After no longer needing a mic
[6:17:55 PM] Alexalexalexalex: you can sing and play at the same time
[6:18:11 PM] Alexalexalexalex: Singing, instead of using a skill directly
[6:18:20 PM] Alexalexalexalex: adds to the currently active bard effect
[6:18:25 PM] Alexalexalexalex: based on the singer's rank of that song
[6:18:32 PM] Alexalexalexalex: I could see it working like that.[/SPOILER]

Also, I wouldn't even get my hopes up for being able to specify the syllables. Chances are it will be implemented as a "special" instrument that still uses MML, but instead of a generic note sound, picks the syllable based on the note.

Magic music scrolls and bard buffs have always stacked. They just can't be 'played' at the same time.
1. Activate the bard buff
2. Cancel bard skill
3. Start the score with normal Playing Instrument
4. ???
5. Profit.

:o Now you make me want to try out K.K.'s songs, and see if it can sound like him, lol.

As cool as it would be to choose syllables like Vocaloid, judging by the video, it doesn't seem like it would. It sounds randomized or gibberish. It's not in Japanese at least.
