I wouldn't be one bit shocked if she did it for free.

Trunks was hell on her vocal cords, that's one of the biggest reasons she didn't return.

And coupled with scheduling and higher priority (and higher paying) union work, Laura just can't commit to a simuldub schedule. Face it, guys. She's left the non-union dubbing scene.

Again, people saying Laura won't return forget she did come back for a cameo as Maka in Soul Eater Not! as well as Oichi from Sengoku Basara. Troy Baker recently learned about new lines for his Tales Vespira character that his agent apparently didn't tell him about, a role he was enthusiastic about reprising.

That was three years ago, back in 2015. Name one Funimation role that Laura reprised for in 2016-2018. None? Okay, your point is moot. Time to move on. Her husband, Travis, isn't reprising for any of his Funi roles, either. 2015 was the final year he did it too.

I don't think you understand how many hoops a union VA needs to jump through just to voice in a non-union production, which is what the upcoming FB dub is going to be.

Also, your point about Troy is also moot - if Troy were to reprise as Yuri, he wouldn't have to do a lot; I'd say a week is enough to knock out all the extra lines in the extended edition. That's why everyone's pissed that they have to deal with two different sounding voices in the same game.

We're talking about a lead role here. Laura isn't coming back. Period. Hope for Alexis Tipton; that's your best bet on a soundalike.

Unpopular opinion here, but I didn't really like Tohru's English voice.
To me it sounded a little too mature for her character design.
