Maybe none of us get it, things are usually more complicated in a game company than we probably think. It could be easy to translate and companies want to save as much money as possible, or it could be harder and they don't want to pay lots of money. Either way they need to determine if those other regions will buy it enough to cover the costs, which I'm estimating (per language) $1000 for an average non-RPG or $5000 at the least for a decently long RPG.

Of course English voice acting will seem out of place. You're playing a freaking Japanese game.

Exactly, so why can't they just subtitle stuff and send it over here? It's cheaper, faster, easier, and better!

Sepharite is an unknown quantity at this point
The problem is not everyone likes the Japanese language... mostly Nazis. But I absolutely agree, if they were to simply do it in Japanese with Eng Subs, then that'll be fine.
