Interestingly enough FFXV's team utilized performance capture in Japanese but used procedural tools for English lip sync.

So it's interesting that they felt that procedural tools for Japanese wasn't working.
During the latest Final Fantasy XVI pre-launch stream comprising the following staff, the team addressed feedback only applicable to the game's Japanese audience or those who simply prefer the Japanese dub
The Japanese audience critiqued the title's lack of proper lip sync for their language since Final Fantasy XVI's development utilized the English dub at its core. The staff replied that they could not make it work since the facial movements are based on facial capture data with those who performed the English dub.
Unfortunately, AI tools would not work adequately, so the team has recommended Japanese players try the game with the English dub since the lip sync is outfitted for that language.
Yoshida said:"Now, moving on…ah, yes. English voices! Do try playing with English voices on a second playthrough, perhaps. I have a feeling that you can really appreciate the realism conveyed by the English voices."
