But I think it's insane to suggest that if it is a permanent recast that G'raha ought to be written out; that's not for the best, that's ridiculous. Even the people for whom having Bailey's voice behind him is a make or break deal on whether or not they'll keep playing the game aren't pushing for something like that, nor should they.
Agreed. For me, a change in voice for a character (or even a live action recast) takes me out of the story that is trying to be told. I wouldn’t go as far as to promise that I would quit the game over it, but I would be more inclined to switch to JP voices just for the consistency. It’s a matter of personal preference. However - I MUCH prefer Jonathan Bailey voicing G’raha as he has done it through the major character arcs and pivotal story beats. To have someone new voice him, even if they do a good job, would create a discrepancy that I could not ignore moving forward. It seems many people feel this way. I also love the rest of the English cast so this would be an issue if any of them were recast for me.
