I think her voice would have been fine without the fake accent because that is clearly the part where she struggles with, if that accent was a must then they absolutely could have hired someone who has that accent and still checks all the other boxes they are looking for.

I know a lot of people mention other voices of side characters but as she is going to be a focus character of the next expansion, then a higher standard expectation by the community isn't unreasonable.

Now if you want to get off the beaten path, then I find it ironic since someone posted her previous twitter comments that since she doesn't fit the character (accent, region of accent, etc) that she her self should not have been considered or have accepted the role. But like everyone on the planet, a paycheck will push beliefs to the side everyday of the week, lol.
im getting really sick of seeing this ethnicity arguement, in the videogame world of ff14 the locations are based on those places but not 100% carbon copys, and this can even trickle down to accents. garlemauld in rissua, yet they have brittish accents and roman names, viera with islandic accents in the greatwood which was aztec, french people of ishgard were brittish, and the faries were scottish. these plcases are only based on our countfries but are not a 1:1 reflection, and for good reason. so this arguement that she should have sounded MORE mexican is based on a pretense that tural IS our mexico and follows OUR mexican accents. even tho other ingame areas dont do this either
