    Making "everything" voiced would mean less money spent on other things.

    While it would be nice to have a lot more content voiced, it is highly unrealistic to expect it.
    This. Square Enix isn’t a large company like Blizzard. We can’t expect World of Warcraft levels of budget and commitment from them. Final Fantasy XIV is a much smaller game from a much smaller company.

    Size of the company is quite irrelevant. The only important question is if the extra development costs would be followed by a corresponding increase in paying players. Square Enix has almost certainly done that analysis already, and reached the conclusion that it isn't worth it.
