    I doubt there would be many in the other languages...

    How and when did I give the indication that I viewed Latin America as a single culture. It is a region, nothing more. And usually refers to everything below the USA. So where was I wrong in stating the VAs I mentioned have Latin American heritage? And last I checked Chile was in South America.

    I was merely pointing out to the OP, that the VAs used were experienced, and it appears that the Devs tried to use VAs with indigenous heritage. That's all.
    Yet you amalgamante everything, keep talking about heritage while everyone was born in the US (save one) and live in the US and treat Latam as a homogeneous region in your comments. If anything, the treatment of VAs in the game is very American culturally speaking.

    Explain to me how choosing someone of Mexican descent born in Chicago has anything to see in any way with a character like Mablu (complete different region, language, ethnicity and culture)? How is that «native» to the region? It’s no different from choosing someone of Irish descent from New York to do the VA of an Inuk from Iqaluit.

    Also, you use indigenous heritage very loosely. Spanish heritage is not indigenous heritage. The guy from Chile (and I like his work), isn’t indigenous.

    If they want to go the origin route (which should not be a consideration) at least select actors from the concerned regions instead of pretending (and yes there are several actors that speak Quechua though, as Spanish, I think it irrelevant for a fantasy game that doesn’t even use the language).


    On this we agree though:
    I agree that it shouldn't matter where you come from, as long as you can do the job. But I never once implied it's what drove everything
    That being said, I think that most of the VAs did a decent job.
