I like ya, Outlaw, but I have to go with Soriku on this one. Neptunia and Atelier games mostly aren't voiced in English anyway and have about half the VA costs that they probably could if they went the whole way, and even if it had every single plausible moment voiced I think Tales games would still probably win out because of the sheer amount of skits that are voiced. Those things are all over the place and I have to assume that if you added them altogether they'd be more than the the dialogue scenes in an Atelier.

I've only played the games in Japanese, so I wouldn't know how much is/isn't voiced in English. That said, it's not like Tales is completely voiced either.

I always play them in English for review purposes but I'd say that about 50% of what was voiced in Japanese in Atelier games gets voiced in English. They commonly have story sequences that were clearly voiced in Japanese just be text. Tales isn't completely voiced for every encounter but every meaningful story sequence is voiced, and that along with the skits means it's got quite a bit more English voice acting than does Atelier Games.
I like Atelier games quite a bit, but they unfortunately are not the most faithfully localized.

After Xillia, I'll take NISA's work each and every day of the week.
