But also
Asians, and not just Japanese people, are known for their beautiful, smooth skin, so it ends up looking like CG.
It's a video game. It's all CG.

"We record with other actors in a studio in Los Angeles, so it’s a bit of a problem if they don’t have native-level English skills", he said.
Yep.

Then said actor ended up being so expensive that there was barely any dialogue... in a Metal Gear game?

I think the next quote explains it better:
On the other hand, it’s easier to bring out the details in older people or people with lots of freckles. I’ve tried to use Japanese people in the past, but it’s hard to make them look like their real-life counterparts. However, this time I used new technology, and I’m quite satisfied with the results. Well, I’d like to do even better next time.

You do know there's a reason for that voice difference in MGSV right?

He should get tips from the Yakuza team

I do, but I also know he'd been trying to get rid of Hayter for a while by then even though he was the voice of Snake, so the excuse rings hollow.

I would buy it if the excuse was they wanted an actor that could do voice as well as motion capture, and maybe David Hayter wasn’t cut to do both at the same time. In some promo it sounded like they wanted someone who could do both. In the age of motion capture, it’s going to be jarring to record voice lines in a booth separately. Particularly if multiple actors interact with each other in a scene.
But no. There was barely any interesting acting at all from Snake. Most of the acting was carried by the other characters, while Snake was just grunting doing nothing in particular.
I’d rather take MGS4 Snake any day.

That tip basically boils down to:
Use Japanese face models / voice actors who've been smoking for 20 years, rofl.

Or sucker punch. The cast of ghost of tsushima looks identical to their voice actors.
