So... Merlwyb will be voiced

Also for those arguing animations are based around Japanese keep in mind all players of 1.0 had to watch all cutscenes in English with their native language subbed in so I find it hard to believe that the animations were created for Japanese. Even with the new and improved multilingual voice-overs the language won't make much any difference with the body language at least for the English version so that argument is invalid in this circumstance.

It is just people bringing their anime bias into this game because it is developed in Japan, nothing more.

That doesn't matter. Lip movement for games and animation is extremely generic. Basically every language can be easily adapted to it given a decent scriptwriter.

No. In general it's just people recognizing that some countries have a more solid voice acting tradition than others, creating a very large quality gap.

I'm sorry, but anyone saying that American/British voice acting is generally on par (even more so for games) with Japanese voice acting simply lacks the technical tools to judge. It's a really ridiculous statement.

Some may have an "anime bias", but correlation doesn't imply causation. The difference in quality exists, and it's very visible.
