Graha Voice Actor Change?

[KiraRavens]

Under 3 weeks till we should find out if this was temporary as we all hope or not...
The new patch drops on the 28th April, which means we should get the trailer on the 17th, and G'raha's on the poster so hopefully he has a voice line in it.

I wonder if they will say anything during Fan Fest.

I wonder if they will say anything during Fan Fest.

I doubt it to be honest... they had ample opportunity to comment at this point, and I'm still assuming this was temporary and they made use of the doubts about it being him or not to just not say anything.

There's just so many things pointing towards the temp thing:
1. No comment at all - I believe they'd actually address a major recast, no matter how inconvenient.
2. No new VA announced, while we did get Halmarut's VA a while ago - and it would make no sense to let us wait for the credits instead.
3. The voice was different but the battle shouts were JB's in 7.4 and why would they not record new ones for the new VA too if he was recast?
4. The voice missing from the trailer: Could have been to minimize backlash but while the game can be patched, the trailer can't - so they might simply have wanted to keep the temp voice out of things that are permanent
5. We know patches are recorded 2-2.5 months in advance and JB was in the US during that period, so a scheduling conflict seems plausible

We'll see on the 17th (hopefully) but my money's still firmly on this being temporary.

I’m with you on all of this. Here’s hoping you’re right!

Absolutely him, that is good news. I heard and mentioned it on a discord myself and came here for validation. Good news.

I still maintain it wasn't him in 7.4 but I'm glad he's back!

(also I hope everyone who ignored my long explanations about how the industry works over here and insisted he must have priced himself out or got too big for his boots, is having a lovely day and not feeling at all guilty for implying he'd turned into a diva )

Oh, same!
I'm just waiting for the prelim patch notes now, hoping they've also re-recorded 7.4

Looks like you were right! Awesome news

I might have shed some happy tears when I watched the trailer haha
