    But just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s right. Up until now, it was considered a major faux pas for a White American to fake an ethnic accent. That alone makes this critically-acclaimed scene hard to watch. It is so offensive that this issue alone should dominate all discussion of Wuk’s VA. Sadly, it never will, because it’s okay to be racist if you’re Yoshida-sama who can do no wrong. And because the actress checks other boxes, she is also beyond reproach.

    But that’s okay, because Square Enix is a failing company and, once they’re bought out by someone else, they’ll make good decisions again. So the more they fail, the faster that happens. Keep it up!
    You appreciate that Y'shtola and Feo Ul have the same English VA, right? Robyn Addison. She is from Derbyshire in the north of England and in interviews has a noticeable regional accent. When voicing Y'shtola, she uses a Southern England accent. Her brilliant Feo Ul is Scottish. (oops, wrong VA) The accents aren't "fake," she's acting.
