I too am worried they recast Merlwyb, her voices sounds different less powerful then before
Could someone on the dev team confirm if any characters voice actors were recast please?
For my money Merlwyb was the best voiced character so far in ARR such a commanding presence and tone

Keep in mind the production process of 14 might of made it hard for most VA to keep up with the process due to time constraints. Consider a single player game with a single experience in a sense, they are paid to say their lines and then perhaps later on they redo lines as needed. It's a process that takes time but it's not the same process as the way the MMO VA works.

Here is my general idea of how the MMO VA process works. They did their lines for 2.0, then later on they had to do their lines for 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and finally 2.55. With that in mind this is 5 different voice acting sessions that could range from 10-30 time sensitive meetings to get the recording done within a year process.

So 2.0 is pushed out, then during that 1.5 month period they have to set time aside to VA again, then again after 2.2 then again after 2.3 then again and again and again it's a process that just might not be possible after some time. They may have other obligations or projects that take up their time and they may be unable to continue on.

If we take the voice actor for Lightning for example, one reason why someone like her can stay on other projects from 13-2 and Lightning Returns is because her project is a video game, not a dynamic MMO experience that would require her to set time aside to record over the process of a year indefinitely.
