@ anon above me: Basing entirely from your comment, I don't think you understand why the CVs and the live action (whether stageplay or musical) actors are different. First and foremost, the CVs are not trained to physically act or perform choreography--it's just not covered by their line of work. Second, the CVs have different roles to reprise in other franchises so even if you say the CVs can be trained to physically act or perform choreography, I highly doubt there would be a considerable length of time in which all of them would be available to schedule multiple performances across multiple parts of Japan. Third, in live action, what they're looking for first and foremost is the visual similarity between the characters and the actors. So it would make sense if the voices don't sound entirely the same because the casting directors would prioritize someone who looks the part; sounding the part is just a bonus.

Please don't discount the work the live action actors do as simply "money-grabbing". I won't go on about it here but if you do even a little bit of research, you'd know that being a live action actor isn't even a sustainable job; actors are ONLY paid for each performance, not including the time they spend rehearsing, filming music videos, etc. (as far as it is known). The live action actors also do their best to do a voice as close to the original voices as possible, and do their best to be as close to the characterization as possible. I don't know if you've actually watched any of the live actions from start to finish, but if you did, please rewatch them with all of this information I've mentioned in mind and be more open-minded.

And sure, these live action adaptations make money, but in the end, all of it will find its way back to the original source of the content which are the games.
