Shadow Dino 02/16/21 1:29:11 AM #160:	KamikazePotato posted... Quick note so you don't get totally blindsided - all (except for like one dude) the voice actors are changed after ARR. I'm still not sure why, probably something to do with licensing. They've stayed consistent since then. I would say that the voices are generally either a sidegrade or a mild improvement, although it took me some time to get used to them. There's also Alisaie, who has a pretty good voice performance in subsequent expansions and has maybe the worst modern dub performance I've ever heard in her scenes in ARR. She really brings the ARR average down! My understanding is that they swapped to a London based studio instead of the LA based one used in ARR. If I would hazard a guess, I'd say they wanted to have actual British actors for the English voice track rather than ask native American actors put on an accent. And yes, ARR Alisaie was incredibly rough. --- Bart, with $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like...love! ~Homer J.
