OUR VOICE

[Niwashi]

I have a very good idea of what my character would sound like - I don't want her to have a random voice that may not even fit my own mental image of her.

Even if the budget allowed for it, this point is why they can't really add it part way into the game like this. It would be a different matter if the game had started out with voiced player characters. Then that voice would have been part of our image of our character from the outset. But in a game people have been playing for a long time and where we each have different ideas about how our characters should sound, there's no way for SE to match that.
