Well, let's see. For one, the voice actors in R11 may have been more expensive than E17. In E17, the only "famous" voice actors at the time were Soichiro Hoshi, Yuu Asakawa, and Hiroko Kasahara (who also sang the ending). Kana Ueda's career had only started recently at that time, and Noriko Shitaya and Hisayo Mochizuki aren't that well known. Therefore, they probably had to pay less for the last three. By contrast, almost every voice actor in R11 was well known, meaning they cost just as much.

Another reason could be that the latest Memories Off game was in development with KID at the same time. Since the Memories Off series, from what I've heard, has been more profitable than the Infinity series, they spent more money on that game while giving R11 a lesser budget. I'll write more in a bit.
