Why did they change all the voice actors?

[Kaedan]

I wouldn't know. I play with Japanese voices and English subtitles for the few really complex words I don't already know in Japanese.

French voiceovers are the same actors

[Khalithar]

The only thing that bothers me about the english VO is that everyone is British, even the ones that weren't British like Raubhan and they made Merlwhyb (or however it's spelled) have a cockney accent.

I'm more interested in Tatarus VA tbh. Im half starting to believe in one of end of 2.5 theories about her. :P

[Zareka]

Sheesh, the more I play the worse it gets. Alphinaud is different, Cid sounded different, now Tataru sounds different and I've heard all of the city leaders have changed too. Did anyone actually survive the expansion? Not a single voice so far (except maybe the elf people I don't care about) has actually remained. It's pretty annoying since even if the acting wasn't the best (can you really blame them with that dialogue?) I just spent a year getting to know these characters and associating their respective voices with them. Now it's like I'm talking to a bunch of strangers who happen to look like people I know. It sucks.

The voice actors sound like they just got a bunch of extras from Game of Thrones and were like "Hey do this video game for us." Alphinaud and Merlwyb are tolerable but I really dislike the new VA for Yugiri.

[SpiritMuse]

how can anyone be okay with Urianger, Yugiri and Ilberds voice changes? they are bloody terrible terrible TERRIBLE

Wait wait wait, URIANGER has a different voice?

GODDAMNIT.

Big part of why I was looking forward to Heavensward is because I love Gideon Emery's work. :/

There is not enough UGH in the world.

It's a shame that they decided to change the voices, because the actors improved a lot since 2.0. I didn't like them at first, because of the medival-equse the talking was, but they were refreshing to hear, midst all the silent cutscenes. I remember rolling my eyes at Nanamo's obnoxious, child-ish voice (like the scene when she burst out laughing after the Grand Company leaders were convinced to reject Gaius's demands.). Then she got 10x better and mature in the patch stories. THAT'S progress. And now its gone.

[Amelia_Pond_Behemoth]

cheaper to get new voice actors then to pay the same ones to return

Plus they can replace them and nobody can tell the diddly-ifference.

Least it's better than Dynasty Warriors 3 english dub lmao
