Graha Voice Actor Change?

[RedLolly]

This "is it him or is it not him" debate is tiring and irrelevant. The fact is one simple thing: he sounds completely different, and nobody likes it. Fans want G'raha to sound like he always has — fans want Bailey. And fans deserve to know what happened to Bailey and what they can expect from G'raha in the future. That's it. That's what Square Enix owes us, and that's what they would have already given their JP fanbase if this had happened on their side.

I'm still in the camp of "new actor is trying to sound like Bailey's take on G'raha" since the line that sounds like a dead ringer to JB post edit was felt more like an inflection thing. So, acting. And I think that's where most of the issues are, the new actor is doing his dangdest to sound like G'raha as we've known him, and actually nails it on a few lines despite having a wildly different voice.

And it feels like an example of gaslighting on both sides on if it is or isn't a new actor.

I genuinely like him, I personally expected a change when JB's career took off earlier this year, and welcome it because, well, my concern is more on the actual writing continuing to improve, and I really think it has these last 2 patches. Which is why my issue is why hasn't SE just told us anything after days of asking, and the only two explanations I can think of are both really bad. Either they don't care, or they're protecting the new actor. Both look bad in different ways.
