3D rendering: it depends on how much 3D rendering you want to do. You can do it on the cheap (War for the Overworld) and have it look reasonable.
Music rights: Garageband and equivalent programs can make your own music reasonably cheaply so unless you are aiming for name recognition by go for owned music?
Voice acting: This can be an issue but voice synthesizers have gotten to where cost there can be reduced.
Marketing: This varies all over the place and is only expensive if one uses traditional outlets. Word of mouth still works very well.

If you mean within the context of the world you are making; that is a given.
