Why did they change all the voice actors?

You clearly didn't listen very well when Alphinaud was speaking.

I'd wager that he's potentially going through puberty

if alphinaud was going through puberty, his voice would DEEPEN, not go up in pitch. The original voice actor was sam riegel, a pretty well known voice actor if you watch anime. the new one, i don't know who it is, but it is fairly grating to listen to, between the flat tone to almost no emotion when speaking, and badly timed delivery. Honestly, i want to see an explaination from squeenix about why they replaced nearly all the voice actors. A good lot of the new voice actors just are not good fits, like Merlwyb sounding like a more refined lady instead of a rough and rowdy retired pirate, Raubhan's new voice being to soft for a warrior known as the "raging bull'... to the downright cringeworthy... sch as Yugiri's voice when you hear her speak the first time, or alpinaud's awkward pronounciations of words....

Please calmly understand that we are not talking about a stereotypical Human puberty as we know it. As far as we know this may in fact be the normal stage of evolution for a Elezen child's puberty for his voice to go up a pitch.

Come on, lets not go through the mental gymnastic excersises of trying to pretend that this was an intended change to reflect a never once, and probably never will be, reference to a period of growth.

Im sure it's going to boil down to that this was a contract or payment or budget decision, sadly.

I was just joking around? lol xD

-- con't-- in all honesty, i think peopel just had their expectations of what they wanted the characters to sound like, or thought they should, and just didn't like the ARR voices chosen... yes, some were horrible already ( papalymo's high and screechy voice.... *shudder*), but there were alot of voices that were well matched, and i can't understand why the replacements occured, and not even so much as an explaination why to the fanbase....and yes, i realize that life happens, and you can't always get the original VAs back, but come on.... how about at least an explaination SE?
