Final Fantasy 14 fans are expressing concern over the performance of voice actor Jonathan Bailey for the character G’raha Tia in the latest 7.4 update, fearing his rising fame from roles in Bridgerton and other projects may have impacted his recording quality. Fans noted that G’raha Tia's voice sounds gruffer and less present, as evidenced by a noticeable drop in dialogue frequency during cutscenes. Although some players suspect that Bailey hasn't been recast, they feel his lines may have been recorded under less than ideal conditions. Bailey's commitment to the character remains, but the reduction in G’raha's dialogue raises questions about the character's role in the narrative as the game continues to evolve.
