On the other hand, I found the whole excuse about why they didn't have dubs for SMT x FE to be pretty easy to see through. Atlus USA makes good localizations, even of games that are based entirely in Japan. It was painfully obvious that A) they didn't expect too many people to buy it, so they didn't want to waste money on voice actors or b) Atlus USA was too busy to localize it at that time.
...

some overall reasons/excuses might be:

  • low sales expectations
  • keep localization budget low
  • want timely release 
  • lots of audio
  • game download size is already 16.6GB
  • lip syncing and performance syncing issues
  • possible copyright issues
  • would be a disconnect with English voices and Japanese singing
