Graha Voice Actor Change?

[Doopliss]

I'm genuinely glad that the voice acting issue appears to have been resolved, although it's ridiculous that they kept players wondering about this in the dark for literal months until just outright patching it. That's always the case with any and all known concerns for the game now, but it's an etiquette that just blows IMO...

Curios if there was any mention of the re-record like they had in the patch notes for the Wuk line. I'll have to go check.

This is what they wrote in the patch notes in 7.1: "The English voiced dialogue in certain scenes has been adjusted." I didn't see anything similar for these patch notes.

They had a line that said "new voices added" with all the expacs and since they didn't just adjust but re-record I guess that was basically it.


On a different note, though - did anyone feel that the sound felt off this patch?
G'raha sounds like JB now, but off on some lines (if that's not him, I can 100% live with the new VA, though haha), but Alphinaud, too.

Aaaaand on a very positive note: Damn, they voiced every cutscene AND most of the voices in the battles this patch. Huge kudos for this!

They had that in 7.1 too, for the newly voiced scenes. New voices in that Golden Saucer game and the Wuk re-record got it's own entry.

It's strange they wouldn't have made a note here like they did in 7.1, since they clearly heard all the feedback and took the time to have JB actually do the lines.

I thought G'raha sounded a bit sore-throat-y and I felt like a couple of the characters didn't have enough direction/context for their lines (people who're normally really consistent) in quite a noticeable way.

I know but my point is "voices adjusted" for the same VA vs. "new voices" for a different VA.

Yeah, like deeper but correct voice this time fortunately.
Or they found a REALLY convincing replacement xD

Ah yes, the ever popular John Graha. I've heard about him!

Absolutely stoked to see Jonathan Bailey back as G'raha. and if that somehow was him before, whatever issue had arose to cause that, Im glad its over with
10/10 voice acting this round!

Not only voice acting, they improved the cinematics aswell, cutscenes are soo much better now.
