    Everyone sounds like they're from FF7 Rebirth in that they have anime voice acting, which is a far cry from the UK-based studio of classicially-theatre trained actors that we're used to.

    Only Koana seems to have bucked this trend and sounds like he belongs in XIV. And Galool Ja Ja.
    Whatever happened with American VA studios? Like I swear like 5 years ago there was a huge improvement in the quality in voice acting in American-localized games, with releases like the Three Houses being pretty stellar for "anime" games after years of subpar voice-work, but now it feels like we are back to old dubs all over again.

    Unions, you get lower quality VAs when you go non-union in the US. A lot of anime and video game voice work has started to go non-union to cut costs and there is a noticeable dip in quality when you go cheaper and do fewer takes like that.
