Native English speakers are entitled/qualified to criticize English voice actors. As for Japanese voice actors, I don't feel you're qualified unless you are a native speaker, or at the very least, an expert speaker.
Japanese people have said the voice actor for Maka in Soul Eater is bad. I never noticed, but I take them at their word that she is bad, just because I'm not a native speaker.
Who do you think should play the various characters in YU. I personally am not familiar enough with English VAs to make up a list.
Michelle Ruff - Yggdra Reason: I though she sounded quite "Princess-y" (it's not a word) in Odin Sphere, so she should get the lead role in this game. Yuri Lowenthal - Gulcasa Reason: I liked his performance in Soul Nomad in the lead role (Gig). Gulcasa has the same sinister attitude as Gig, and therefore he would be perfect.
Is it true that handheld games have a low budget and cannot afford quality VAs like the home console titles?
