How to unlock and change Mahjong voices in Final Fantasy XIV

Doman Mahjong might not be everyone’s idea of a riveting fun time in Final Fantasy XIV, and to some (myself included), it is just an overwhelmingly complicated piece of side content tha♌t is usually avoided.

However, one of the new things added as part of patch 7.1 is Mahjong Voices. This adds voic🍷e lines for all of the Scions, making the game-within-the-game feel far more immersive, and almost as though the Scions are behind you giving you support while you batt𒊎le it out with your opponent. 

As this is new content, it might not be immediately clear how it works, but here are all the details you could possibly need to have𒁏 Alphinaud, Thancred, or any of the Scions cheering on your victories or lamenting you for your losses. 

How to unlock new Mahjong Voices in Final Fantasy XIV

Before you can unlock any 𓆉Mahjong Voices, you’ll need to have done a couple of things:

• Complete the MSQ up to and including the level 60 quest “Heavensward”
• Complete the level 15 side quest “Every Little Thing She Does Is Mahjong” at the Gold Saucer

When both of these are done, you’ll be able to talk to Dibourdier in the Gold Saucer (X:7.1 Y:7.8) to purchase new “Maxims of Mahjong” items using MGP 🦹as and when the🦩y become available. New voices will unlock as you progress through the MSQ and complete certain quests.

How to enable a Mahjong Voice in Final Fantasy XIV

To enable Mahjong Voices, you’ll need to open up the Gold Saucer menu via Character, and then navigate to the Mahjong tab. Here, you’ll be able to enable or disable voices (maybe you don’t want Thancred to tell you how badly you’re doing, that’s understandable), or choose which character you want to be in yoꦦur ear while playing. 

You’ll also find all of the rules and information abouꦇt Doman Mahjong in th🔯is window, something which up until now was only available by talking to the Mahjong Tutor.
