One thing I just realized by watching the last Bayo 3 trailer: in Bayonetta 3, there are MULTIPLE Bayonettas. That means, it's very likely that the voice actress would have more lines to work with and with different registers. Which means more time, more work and a harder job.
This 4k number seems more and more shameful as time passes. I don't even want to know how much Platinum wanted to pay Hellena at first.
Jesus, no wonder she's mad...
