    Are there any interviews with VAs or directors to confirm that cheapness is the reason why? I'm assuming that the VAs have done panels where they answer questions about working with Square Enix that would explain that.

    Also, my position on wanting a separate EN translation option in the settings is based on things I know about the industry, as well as what the LOC team have said themselves about their processes, and not conjecture around funding based on some less than ideal deliveries.

    I did do QA work on games and a lot of it involved working alongside Localization QA, so I got to see and participate in that pipeline in real-time.
    I also know it's different for each project and not every project follows the same methodology. But I'm confident in the feasibility of my ask/suggestion, considering much of it aligns with what the LOC team has said in numerous interviews.

    Also, I play the game with Japanese audio for cutscenes/voiced content, which generally sounds better and captures the characters very well, so I'm not exposed to English VAs.
    No offense to the EN VAs, I'm sure they do a terrific job and are wonderful people, but what you described is just not what I want to hear when I play a JRPG.

    Also, doesn't Urianger already speak differently?
