Adding that the new character at the end of 7.4 in JP casted by SAORI HAYAMI, a very established, talented, and popular actress who has big roles in popular media and anime. Square also can afford Yuma Uchida as G'raha in JP, who is an even bigger star and is also a singer.

To say that the JP cast is full of popular and talented actors is putting it lightly. To say that Bailey is too big for FFXIV is a very uninformed slap in the face to the hard work Bailey put in for FFXIV when he was at his busiest. There's no good excuse for Square to say Bailey is now too expensive when he isn't priced under the US guidelines. And even then, they can shell out enough money to hire well-regarded actors.
