You honestly liked the voice actors in VC2? They were terrible! Hearing Lotte say the line "Hey dude" to EVERY freaking sentence just about drove me insane. I am not talking about VC1 anyways because it had the option of changing to Japanese. I speak completely in the realm of VC2.
Besides isn't it disrespectful to the Japanese voice actors who spent the time and effort into doing those voices? They contribute to the game but don't get any recognition by having it completely removed from the game.
Actually that makes me wonder about sales, if the voice actors are removed do they not get any part of the sales for those games? I wonder if they just get paid outright and not anything from actual sales.
VC2 had some good voice actors, but it just felt like it didn't fit at times.
Hell I heard from a friend about how there was a hack out there to get the original Japanese voices into VC2 and Sony has recently stated that VC3 might not come because of slow sales and pirating problems. The whole issue of not including the original voice actors might be one of the reasons it may never come to the states.

Do you really think they removed the Japanese voices coz they didn't like it? They removed it because there wasn't enough memory space for the UMD for both english and Japanese audio files and they chose the english audio to make it more accessible for new fans.(Honestly, do you think all video games fans are anime fans who prefer japanese voices? Not all of them, and remember, the NA version was being release for the English speaking market) And the only reason the Japanese voice hack for VC2 works is because it uses a Memory Stick which has a bigger memory space.
I have heard all of VC2 voices and all of them were not that that bad as you claim. The way you describe it reminds me of those old anime fans who insist "the original Japanese voice is the best and dubs sucks and ruin everything."
And also, don't listen to rumors about why VC3 will not come out in the US, until Sega of America (not Sony for your information) tells us more.
