The English voice acting in 3.0 is a lot better than it was in 2.0 - people really should give it a chance instead of brushing it all off as terrible just because some of the 2.0 voice acting wasn't great.

I'll never understand the obsession with people claiming that the Japanese voice acting is 'so much better'. You do realise that the vast majority of people playing on the NA or EU servers won't be able to understand it, right?

This is also not the first RPG to make heavy use of British accents and dialects. I firmly believe that it fits - and it's a lot better than yet another game being voiced by Americans and nobody else.

As for 'established voice actors', honestly a lot of them tend to be overrated. Not without talent, perhaps, but some are so ridiculously overused (appearing in the majority of major titles) that the novelty wears thin. Especially if they have a distinct voice and don't pull off different voices.
