My gf just told me, and thought she just meant she sounded like her. How did I not know that...

I can't exactly remember when/how I found this out, but it was probably near the end of her run on Doctor Who that I was connecting the dots and said 'hey, these voices sound familar' lol. That was around the time I was actually playing Xenoblade Chronices through.

Yep. Was surprised that they were able to bring her back for Future Connected 10 years later, too.

Yeah. So many people thought they wouldn't be able to get her back due to her star status. It's a tad bit jarring to hear her older voice like right after playing the main game though.

Erm don't know who that is but yeah Xenoblade's entire voice acting cast was amazing, part of the reason why I love the game so much. Such a great game.

I don't know why the game didn't pair up Melia and Dunban though. I thought there was some potential chemistry there like when they were sitting by the fire and together.

r34 artists got that covered.

But for real though, I felt bad for Melia. They never paired her up with anybody, she was the only person in the group to not have that. It's implied that Dunban and Vanea are together in the main game epilogue.

Yeah, she was Clara, the partner of the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors and had lead roles in some of the episodes.

Yep. I gave her a pass, since it was like a decade years since she last played the role. But then again, from what I understand, Future Connected had the same voice direction as base game Xenoblade 2, so that may also be a factor.

She played Clara Oswald, one of the Doctor's companions (specifically, for the 11th and 12th Doctors).

Actually, I think in XC2 the VAs had to do the voice acting without seeing the scenes so they know how it'll play out and how to act in them. So that definitely led to some awfully-directed voicework. According to Adam Howden, they changed it for Future Connected by letting the VAs see the scenes in Japanese, closer to how it was done for XC1's localization.

Ah. So, I'd say that it was rustiness on her part, then.

It is super jarring, went straight into future connected and she sounds considerably older but looks the same
