It was also very insightful to see how contracts work and the possibility’s moving forward. While playing the patch I honestly felt like it could still have been Bailey. If they were gonna toy with a recast I feel like they would have also tried to re-record some battle lines. But they didn’t. It was still clearly Bailey’s. But who knows maybe that’s just because hoping and still not understanding.

Point being. People want Jonathan Bailey as graha tia. So I think it’s in their best interest to work to keep him on the game.
Ditto to all of this. And have to say the fact they haven't bothered to rerecord things like battle lines is what gives me a little hope this isn't permanent. I know even if Bailey gets recast (please no) they're not gonna go back to rerecord all of his voices from Stormblood to Dawntrail 7.3, but I figured they'd at least redo the battle lines since those are recurring.

But whatever. Nothing against whoever was the replacement for Bailey this patch, I have nothing against any potential replacement, permanent or not. But Bailey's voice is G'raha's to so many of us, after seven years of it. It'd be devastating to see him go, so I hope SE is doing whatever they can to work with him and keep him in the cast.
