Actually, I'm pretty sure Lunarre in the game is voiced by Keith Silverstein, at least that's who he sounds like to me. Aside from Lunarre, I also heard him as Seraph Uno. It seems Keith is always left uncredited in the Tales games. I can't quite remember Baltrow's voice, but thinking of "T. Axelrod," his voice sounds about right.

I guess I'm the only one that loves Ayers' Monokuma without reservation. His gravely high-pitched voice works perfectly (imo) for a character whose main motif is that he's a murderous children's mascot. The game's VA made him sound more like a jester than anything.

It would have been nice if funimation put in the effort for Danganronpa season 1 dub but still its great funimation brought back the voice cast from Danganronpa 2.

In the commentary of episode 1, they actually address why they didn't have the cast of the game sans Bryce Papenbrook. They were working on the dub before the complete cast list of the game was made public, with the only voice actor known being Bryce.
Thankfully for them, Bryce was at Funi working on Attack on Titan and since he was already there they just decided to use him when they had the chance. (It's funny how Christopher Bevins put it: "I didn't want to go up to you and be like, 'Hey Bryce, how are you doing? Do you mind if I go ahead and recast you in Dangan Ronpa?'")

Every voice actor in the Tales games is uncredited. We only know who some of them are because they either come out and say that they're in the games or we recognize their voices from other works. No one is sure who voiced Elize in Tales of Xillia, for instance (though I'm beginning to suspect it was Marisha Ray based on a similar-sounding character she played in Fire Emblem Fates).

Even after all these years the voice of Tear Grants remains a mystery.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. Got too used to Twitter announcements and treated them as official cast credits. Interesting bit about Elize, guess I'd need to hear Marisha Ray in Fire Emblem Fates then.

All we know is that it is the same mystery VA who did Naoto in most Persona 4 media because the voice for both characters are identical.
I've heard some of the strangest theories over the years, my favorite being that it's Scarlett Johansson. But I doubt we'll ever know.

Alright that clears things up still its a shame though. Also with that said i guess Funimation can be trusted with dubs sometimes.

It's great that they've gotten onboard with really trying to keep these casts.

While I have not played "Tales of Zestiria", it is nice when you can get some of the video game VA to reprise their role in the anime. For one thing, it has consistency to it. For LA-based VA like Robbie, I think they might be using a home studio or using BangZoom! because flying to Funi back/forth for 12-13 weeks is such a waste.

It truly is great. Since it's Christian La Monte who's directing the LA voice cast and from what I know he's done some work over at Cup of Tea Productions. I'd say it's being done there, which is great since they've recorded most (if not all) of the Tales games since Tales of Symphonia.
FUNimation had BlazBlue: Alter Memory dubbed there too with Patrick Seitz directing. Again, the games were also recorded at Cup of Tea.
Having seen the first episode of the Broadcast Dub and watched/played the previous Tales of Zestiria stuff, I'd say that the performances sound even better now. Also, greatly prefer Austin Tindle's Lunarre. He sounds amazing.
