But using a different VA for such a major character and not crediting it properly is something I don't think they would do so brazenly, hence my doubts about actual replacement. There definitely have been issues with voice editing and direction (no issues with VAs themselves, they do their best with what they're given) since 6.x

    People say that, and then mention the Y'shtola incident. But no one couldn't tell it was Robin despite a bad recording. This isn't the same hting.

    Y'shtola incident didn't sound edited though. Like, the quality was just bad with not even seemingly an attempt to cover it up. With G'raha, there is clear like. Idk the soundfeel wording for it, but wrongness to the way the voice sounded, and not in a 'different person' way but in a 'someone cut too much while editing out the noise' way.

    I mean, if you feel they edited his voice so that their most prominent actor's voice sounded like an entirely different person, and that editing also was able to change the entire manner of speaking...(which for JB isn't too different than his normal speaking voice)...

    I don't buy it. I think there is a reason his voice was missing from the 7.4 trailer when it was included in other languages, and a reason there has been no response or mention in patch notes.

    Anyway I'm going to follow Peache's lead, and never get involved in further arguments on voice acting unless thea ctor is changed again - and in that situation only to voice my concern. People can believe what they like for whatever reason they like.
