The nine are basically dust. Dust doesn't have a voice. Besides that one of the dialogue scenes in the pre-release footage has a Nine member telling us they're speaking to us through thought.

Edited by Nerd_Herd: 6/20/2025 4:06:56 AMBungie found various ways for almost a decade to have the nine "speak" to us. All of which were better than "distorted soundwaves" and reading subtitles. You could have done a cinematic with flashing images, gotten a familiar character to voice the nine as our brain tries to make sense of the inconceivable dialogue, or gotten an *emissary*, like the one now, to be their voice. But what wwe have is basically static and subtitles, because that is the cheapest option and people who play this game defended this practice in Heresy.

Edited by cryptic_king_241: 6/20/2025 4:54:41 AMWhen has the Nine ever spoken to us? They've been in lore only and the Emissary has been the one doing all the talking. Unless there was something when Tot9 were around, you might need to do some fact checking. As far as the story goes, it appears canon. Maybe something changes when the release happens. It's teaser footage after all.

[/quote] Exactly, hence why I used "air quotes". The Nine have never spoken to us directly, and for the better part of a decade Bungie found a way to convey their intentions that were better than unvoiced dialgoue and a "distorted soundwave" [quote]Maybe something changes when the release happens.
