Thoughts on anime video games not being English Dub?

[Canon Lover 69]

This is not something I've noticed but something I've sort of wondered about. Naturally for me while yes I recognize that the Japanese version came first with the English Subtitles...I do feel like there should be also an option for the English Dub. Some examples include like the Fairy Tail games or the Sword Art Online video games. Some have been a bit better say like with the latest release of Bleach or even the Naruto ones. One Piece is another example of a game that is just spoken in Japanese or even the Shoenen Jump one. The first MHA was in Japanese and the second least that was English Dub. I wonder about anyone else's opinion on this. Do you prefer only spoken in Japanese with English Subtitles, prefer just English Dub, or the option to have both of them? I suppose that is an age old question regarding the debate but it does certainly cut out the English Dub VA's. Edens Zero is also another that just sticks to Japanese VA's. Opions and thoughts on this gamers?

Generally for Japanese games I tend to go with the Japanese voice acting. This is for a few reasons like finding a few constantly used English VAs annoying, feeling the Japanese actors are putting on a better performance and/or not being aware if a Japanese VA is actually sucking whereas I can be acutely aware of a terrible dub voice. Now, some games do get good english dubs and I'll even use them sometimes, but overall its just my preference. Some games like the Xenoblade series and the From Soulsborne games tend to use English voice actors or actors who I haven't really heard before, so I will use those as its a pretty fresh breath of air to hear some no name (to me) English actor talk about king Big Sad Guy, who did the flame thing.

I don't really play anime derived games like the One Piece or Bleach games, but a lot of these games are generally AA/budget games at best, I imagine that the math has been done and it's less money to use Japanese voices only.
