Graha Voice Actor Change?

[Soteira]

I think considering how beloved JB is for the xiv community some sort of update would be nice, but all we heard apparently was Kotaku reaching out and his team saying that as of rn JB won't give any interviews regarding FFxiv

[Naria]

Considering SE's whole strategy to improve their financials seems to be "cut off their nose to spite their face" (ex: War of the Visions), stealth recasting G'raha and then not telling the players for 6-7 months seems to be about right.

I really do hope I'm wrong.

Square Enix needs to be transparent with us, this isn't fair to the community to recast a beloved VA without notice. I really hope it's temporary and Jonathan Bailey can continue to voice G'raha.

I wanna tell you this guys not out of spite or malice but as a warning for the future when something else like this happens.
When you vote a not very well known actor into People (yes THE People Magazine) and shine a giant spotlight on him there's bound to be repercussions abroad, you're gonna have to deal with the fallout from that, just saying. I've seen this happen SEVERAL times in the entertainment industry. Again, this is more of a cautionary lesson more than anything.
Welp, parasocial relationships not even once.

No. I'm. Did that guy just imply it's Final Fantasy Fourteen G'raha Tia fans' fault we may be losing Bailey in the cast because it was our, uh, unparalleled fandom power that voted him Sexiest Man Alive 2025 and not the fact he plays a heartthrob in both Bridgerton, a massive Netflix exclusive series, and both Wicked movies, which are blockbusters?

I love this place.

[mildlymoonstruck]

Oh, god I'm so sorry guys it was me. I cast the deciding vote of People's Sexiest Man Alive 2025 with these wretched hands. My bad.
