Why did they change all the voice actors?

So I just saw the new launch trailer for Heavensward and noticed they changed the voice actors for all the main characters.

Why could they not keep the same voice actors I hate when they change voice actors like they do a lot in Anime..

I like to play in English so no the problem isn't solved.

Well I don't think they will just say, oh damned they changed, let's dub it all over again, so if you don't want to have voice over change the best is to use other languages.

I find it funny that people say Japanese VA is way better, but the japanese players themselves think its not and listen to English voice actors because it sounds better.

On-topic: I believe it got changed because maybe those voice actors couldn't come back again for certain work reasons else where. Being a voice actor for a MMO can be a bit tough because you need to be coming back every major update and this could cause a bit of stress when they need to do other voice over work at the same time. I don't know if this is true but my theory.

It sounds better because the grass is always greener on the other side, English sounds cool to JP players because it's different, JP are really fond of english, that's why they put english names everywhere.
