British accents are everywhere in fantasy in general, not just RPGs.

Considering Australia and the United States didn't exist in the medieval ages, it would be more difficult to put your audience into thinking about those times if your knight in shining armor sounded like he was from say Kentucky. Lord of the Rings would've had a different feel if Elijah Wood used his native accent despite being cast in a role meant to evoke the English countryside just like how it's more awkward to Anglophones to have a fantasy knight that sounds American over British.

At least FFXIV's voice actors are actually from the UK and they're usually not putting on terrible fake accents.
