Subtitles

I remember thinking through the game that it would have been nice to have subtitles. There were times when I played the game I couldn't understand some of the speech. And sometimes I had turned the volumn off so that I wouldn't be bothering the people around me with all the flashy *pow* *zoom* *ARGHH!!* noises :p. Hehe, I've still got some plot holes simply for the fact I couldn't hear what the cutscenes were saying.

Hmm, perhaps an investment in headphones? Anyone know any nice quality brands that don't have over-the-top prices?

Yep, I always prefer cutscenes and movies to have subtitles. Freelancer doesn't have any though.

you need to get headphones. I don't know about you guys but I clearly understand everything they say.

You know what?
You guys should populate
Yukanojo's Server.
I love it. Start out completely neutral and 5k credits. Also, you can e-mail me and ask to join my clan if you want. I have 2 members already. If I agree with you joining, meet me at manhatten and i will give you 100k credits. So, pay a visit to Yukanojo's server. Also, during the next week(10th to 16th), I will be donating my 7-8mil credits, and equipment to someone on the
[5thW FL:: www.5thss.com
server to some lucky player hanging out manahtten. I wil be around manhatten and only for 5 mins. I have kusari rare guns all the way to nomad guns and level 10 fighter shield. Don't miss out.

I hear them fine. I just like having subtitles also.

The problem is that when it's midnight and everybody else is sleeping, i would also like not to have to get the volume +15dBa just to hear a few dialogues and back down not to wake everybody. I also have earphones but they hurt my ears in the long run. Yes they are good ones at 150$USD but every earphone i try hurt me so i use speakers when i can.

maybe your speakers are just shot to hell. Or maybe you're deaf. Get both checked out. --- VH16

i agree with trucidation, "i can hear them fine, i just like subtitles."

Why on earth subtitles? Only way I'd want anything like that is if I had the option to turn them off!

Why don't you just set the music and effects sounds lower so you can hear the dialog? I personally turned the music all the way down so I wouldn't have to hear the same thing over and over again. It brings out the effects more and makes combat more immersive.

It's not the same music over and over again if you move around a lot. I like Freelancer's music, especially ones like Dangerous Chase or the race theme. Hmmmmm . . . But you only hear those during the story mode.

If you go into the FL folder, open "data" then "sounds," you can find all the music in the game and play it on media player (there may be more folders and stuff to look though, I don't have FL on this computer so I can't look). Dangerous chase is cool, and the race one is tight. I also like some of the nomad layer music. Check it out sometime. --- VH16

My speakers are Kilpsh and they are not even shottable to hell. This is a high end system because i'm crazy about audio stuff. No, the problem is not that i'm deaf either. English is my 2nd language (making it a little tougher to understand right away) and i like to ear every detail about conversations. Of course i can always make out what they try to say. I can fill the voids, like when Tobias whisper in Trent's ear. But like i said, i don't want to play with the system at 100dB to make sure i ear all. I'll try to lower music and effects to see if i can hear all.
