he nailed it as Cloud. all the VA's in the remake did such an amazing job
Not Sephiroth's
Not zack’s
Yeah they were all excellent!
@@Killer_Kris7 Christ they should’ve never recast George Newburn. He was too perfect.
@@yowatchie exactly! 💯
All I hear is Cloud Strife. It’s cool that he doesn’t have to change his voice at all, it’s so natural for him.
Edit: Whew top comment! Thanks guys!
IKR? I am happy to hear his voice
Poipoigirl
First time seeing the voice actor
@@ryanrick6443 I like Steve Burton as Cloud but Cody Christian is great too!
Yup
Ryan Rick I agree! I squealed a bit when he went “Hello I’m Cloud.” and that “Not interested.” 😍
As much as I have great respect for Steve Burton, Cody from a first listen just knocks or out of the park. He’s great as Cloud!
They really cast the PERFECT Cloud
No they didn't. Steve was perfect.
imouto4hire nah Cody is better
@@imouto4hire He was also in the original final fantasy. Idiot.
@@imouto4hire - Take off the nostalgia glasses. You're welcome.
Both are good voice actors, the tone is very similar too. Cody made a good job in nailing the part given that it's his first voice role.
"yup, nailed it, moving on!"
_But that make-up-and that dress!_
@@Wiflomiflo "Nailed it. I know. Thank you. MOVING ON"
But you're so pretty!
yo this was my Line bruh!! it got me.
He needs to continue to voice Cloud in all FF 7 games to come! This cast was perfect.
He needs to! The old VA did well but enjoying this one too ❤
He is. At least in Crisis Core and Part 2.
He’s voicing him in Chocobo GP
@@WowUrFcknHxCgod I hope he’s back for part 3
I know people are attached to his previous voice because it came first, but that voice did not match at all. He sounded way too old and masculine for a effeminate looking pretty boy in his early 20s. This guy is a perfect fit.
"Not interested...." 😂😂😍
Lukas Minder TV Playin the FF7 Demo...Cody delivered that line so perfectly lol
"No, not interested" I love that he used it in this interview! Fantastic!!
This line is my favourite
Ahhh the famous cloud line 😆
@@elliemellie4337 yes so famous
Wait, this was his FIRST voice acting gig?? He did amazing! I really hope he does more va work in the future
well he did say first *major* va gig, so maybe he has done it to some extent in the past
And the best part is that he got a BAFTA Award for Performer in a Leading Role nomination for his voice work as Cloud
3:22 Yup. Thats Cloud alright...
I lost my mind at that part, literally just a small inflection and BOOM the character is there
“No. Not interested”
Yeah, I’m pretty sure he gets the character. I’m excited to hear how that intonation changes during the Temple of the Ancients.
Also, I really wonder what his non gamer fans think of him in this game. I mean, surely he has a legion of fans. He’s adorable.
Lol replayed ff7 again and I just finished that area.
Bro he said it while I read this
Damn, I now imagine Cloud while listening to him 😂
Same with Roxas/Ventus from Kingdom Hearts. Every time I hear Jesse speak I hear them. XD
This is me with Dante Bosco and Zuko lmao
That’s because he sounds exactly like what Cloud would actually sound like. His voice matches Clouds face.
Same
"Nailed it. I know. Thank you. MOVING ON"
he’s honestly the perfect pick for cloud. I also love the fact that he doesn’t have to change his voice at all, it’s like i’m hearing cloud himself doing this interview
Sacrificed Sephiroth's best VA for a great VA for Cloud
@@Killer_Kris7 came here after playing crisis core reunion, I think he did really good in that so I don’t think we got to worry too much. He also wasn’t used enough in remake for us to get a full judgement of his character overall
@@captainpep3 Newbern was still better
@@Killer_Kris7 I like newberns, and I didn’t like new sephiroths VA at first, but it’s honestly not that bad. I think people over exaggerate when they say it’s terrible
Close your eyes, you hear Cloud talking about the remake of FF7.
i want to see cody reacting to the part where cloud is moaning in the process of hand massage
Imagine if he goes to massage parlor
*Spitts Drink* OMG No! You made me ruined my computer screen...
Bruh same (~￣³￣)~
Now you say that....I wanna see that too🙄🤚🏾
Cody is an absolute vocal stud as Cloud he crushed it... Respect bruh... also...
Tifa: Oh my god, that makeup! And that dress!
Nailed it, I know. Thank you. Moving on.
Best line of the whole game 😂😂 I cracked up
So this is what Cloud giving an interview would be like.
Imagine if he had the hair...
@@yannispirou101 oof
If he was more talkative
"No not interested."
Fr though😂
I love how the news anchor seemed so happy just sitting next to him.😂
Gosh, his voice is like ASMR to my ears. Good job on voicing for Cloud.
Sadly can't say the same for Sephiroth
@scushi oh I'm aware of Zack and so is everyone else. But nobody talks about Sephiroth
@@Killer_Kris7 Yup here you are again.
I’ve NEVER EVER EVER seen someone SOOOO butthurt about a new voice acting role lmao
the fact that they didn’t lose their minds at 3:22 is astonishing to me. Like YES THAT IS CLOUD
They're normies. They don't care.
Gotta love the fact this guy was a whopping 2 years old when the original game came out. He's younger than I thought from playing the remake, but he does an amazing job voicing Cloud. Here's hoping they retain him and everyone else when the next parts drop in the years to follow.
They’re definitely going to retain everyone. They’ve all been well received and they all pretty much nailed their parts. I think Britt Baron is the best Tifa we’ve ever had
Agreed. I've followed the FFVII universe from the beginning, and this English voice cast absolutely nailed their characters better than anyone else did, especially with Tifa and Barret in my opinion.
He’s cloud, he doesn’t even change a bit the voice to be him. It’s awesome😻
Steve Burton was a great Cloud. Cody fits Cloud even better in my opinion. It's all really down to his tone reflecting Cloud's trying to ACT COOL when he's really a country bumpkin with a heart of gold.
It’s crazy to close your eyes and picture Cloud speaking this chill.
Great interview especially since the news anchor to the left of Cody has some history with Final Fantasy himself and seemed very engaged during the whole convo with Cody.
You could tell he was into it
I'm glad the new voice actor of Cloud sounds very similar to the old voice [Steve Burton]. It makes the transition between voices much easier for the fans.
I thought it was Steve when I played the demo. It's good that Steve gave his blessing and recognized Cody as the new voice actor of Cloud.
Honestly it’s a good fit, AC seems a good fit for steve because Cloud is a few years older. (Veteran) Cloud vs. younger cloud.
Yeah the whole cast for the Remake is amazing, especially after playin the Demo that just came out. My only grip is Sephiroth....Im sorry but Tyler the actor who voices the new Sephiroth, got NOTHING on George Newborn the original voice but oh well everyone else is amazing.
Steve Burton will always be Cloud. This new guy doesn't come close.
@@imouto4hire nah he's a REALLY good replacement,dont let your nostalgia "cloud" your judgment
New guy fits the younger sassier cloud while burton has mastered the more cold serious mature one
Before: Hey, hi nice to meet you, I'm Codyy!
After: Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Cloud.
Great question at 3:01
Awesome to hear Cody Christian say "Not interested" as well ;)
love seeing that anchor just fan boy the whole time, so awesome
Nice to see a news station interview the actor who voices the protagonist in the remake of one of the greatest, most beloved video games of all time! 11 million or more copies sold of the original - it's the best selling game in the entire series. It's exciting to see a news station focus on something so beloved!
I just finished FFVII Remake and I'm so proud Cody got to voice Cloud he is so talented, he is truly the legacy of Steve Burton. Thank you so much!!
3:18 - duuuude that's dope. They picked a good voice for Cloud for sure.
I wanna see him cosplaying as Cloud Strife now. Perfect look and perfect voice for that iconic character.
Its exactly how i pictured clouds voice to be like. Kid nailed one of my heroes!
1:34 hearing cloud laugh is music to my ears, lol.
He is handsome as well
Hi literally look like Cloud. Especially his eyebrown and his cystal blue eyes ...Not mention his voice .
I like to see him without beard ...so dazzing. Normally I am not kind like a man with western look I prefer asian guys look (Because I'm Thai) but Cody is so irresistable...very charming indeed.After I knew he's the voice of Cloud whenever I see him i still think of Vloud too 😂
he's really.... eloquent in expressing his thoughts. this is my first time seeing cloud's remake va in eng in real life. coming from someone who usually plays in the OG japanese language (and from someone with so much respect for cloud's OG japanese veteran voice actor takahiro sakurai), props to cody for nailing his character so well!! honestly, all the eng vas in the remake were superb!! cloud is a hard character to understand but cody did cloud justice. he brought so much more to his character. i hope he comes back for more cloud content lol and maybe i should go watch pretty little liars now haha
His voice is perfect for cloud. I never knew who was the voice actor till now but I was not disappointed by any of the voice actors selected for the remake. Coming from the first console it came out in the remake was definitely taken to heart and I’m so happy with the way it turned out.
He sounds so perfect for Cloud...
Good goddamn. He’s a natural Cloud. Best recasting ever.
1:32 first time hearing cloud laugh
I'll be honest, I'm kinda sad Burton and everyone else was let go, but the new voice actors are how I imagine these chatacters to speak. It just sounds natural.
Lol "cult classic." The FF series is much bigger and more successful than the Zelda series and is in the Guinness Book of World Records. Final Fantasy VII was one of the biggest games in the entire series (that spans 100+ games).
I wouldn't got that far. FFVII is certainly a mainstream game, but I don't think FF has ever surpassed Zelda in per name recognition and popularity. Zelda is a staple of Nintendo, right behind Mario.
@@47d75 Numbers don't lie. As of 2018, the Final Fantasy series has brought in ~$10.6 billion. Legend of Zelda (as of 2018) has brought in ~$3.4 billion. Final Fantasy is objectively more successful.
@@CryofthePlanet Success doesn't amount to popularity. Final Fantasy has always been on numerous Platforms while Zelda is only on one. Also if you put Link on your phone and ask who is this they will mistakenly say Zelda but they know the game. Most people don't know Zidane, Tidus, Squall, or Even Cloud. They might know Noctis or Lightning or even Sora as he's big with Disney.
To be fair, OP did say "bigger and more successful". Not more popular. As for popularity, that can be debated. You made good points. However, the FF series is also arguably more accessible because they're on multiple platforms. I'd argue that Mario is more recognizable than Link but the LoZ series is easily more popular. Recognition doesn't always equal popularity. What LoZ does have over FF though is that LoZ has the same recognizable hero from the 80s where as most FF games don't share their main attributes between titles.
Final Fantasy 7 is the best selling of the FF games, but even 7 has barely made it past 10 million sold units in 22 years. Compared to games that TRULY are mainstream, selling 30,40,50 even 100+ million, it's a cult classic. A lot of the new gen teenage gamers have not heard of final fantasy, let alone final fantasy 7. So he's not wrong in calling it a cult classic. In the bigger picture, JRPG games are still relatively niche.
He actually looks like just imagine him with blonde hair lol
He is good looking guy, great voice and character.. reminding me of cloud strife really, square really picked the right guy for cloud V acting.
i really love the english more than the japanese version.
That's seems to be the general opinion.
I like them both. Cody Christian and Takahiro Sakurai did an awesome job.
The english one has its charms and voices that ping and suits them all.
The japanese too has its funny moments. They manage to improvise. Usually is the English dub that improvise the dialogues like anime of ghost story
the dude interviewing him sounded so excited its kinda adorable lmao
i love Cody Christian tho i watched him on teen wolf never expected to see him play as cloud loool
Cody Christian did a phenomenal spot on Cloud but I will still miss the legendary Steven Burton Cloud voice
3:24 HE SAID IT.
I feel like I’m listening to Cloud in real life😂
Final fantasy VII is not a cult classic, it was huge for it's time just like the remake is gonna be it made the generation and the ps1
Captain Kirk I don’t think you know what the term means. It’s a cult classic because it’s a piece of media that was so critically acclaimed that it has acquired a cult following and huge fan base
monojuice I don’t quite think *you* know what it means....a cult classic usually refers to media that although wasn’t necessarily critically panned, it did not perform as expected when it came to sales/revenue but still remained popular years later....the original FF7 was a worldwide hit and sold over 9 million copies....far from a cult classic. It was a classic from the very beginning.
@@Saisei87 I dunno... it doesn't have to be unpopular to be a cult classic. Altho I do agree that a cult following means it's not followed by the mainstream audience, but a smaller group of extremely passionate fans. I think FF7 can meet this criteria in the west to most people. Because it is a jrpg... and despite it selling a lot of copies, it doesn't compete with how much USA based games are sold in the west (its not even in the top 50). Maybe the remake might change this.
@@PollenAinne Actually, it does, that's what the term literally refers to. Something obscure or unpopular with the general populace that none the less gained a mass, cult like following in the years following its release. Like the Firefly TV show, for example. Or the Clock Tower games. So FF7 would not fit the term cult classic, as it was popular from the get go. Worldwide phenomenon, or just plain classic, timeless, landmark video game, so on and so forth, are all much more apt terms to use.
Wrong. Cult classic means that it's super popular within a niche' group of people (like me), absolute die hard fans. Something that's "mainstream" isn't a cult classic. Super Mario Bros is NOT a cult classic, as that's pretty mainstream. I'd argue Star Wars also isn't a cult classic, cause, even those who don't like sci-fi, they know what it is (but I'm not fully concrete on this opinion, it's arguable). FF7? Cult classic. Army of Darkness - cult classic. LoTR - not a cult classic. AVENGERS END GAME - not a cult classic. Do you not see the difference?
I’m so use to hearing him play as clouds voice that the old cloud voice actor just doesn’t sound right with me anymore. Much love for the old cloud voice actor. this guy is doing great.
The Anchor did a better voice of Sephy than the trailer hahahaha
Well.......you aren't.....wrong
Wow, Aerith & Cloud's VA were equally as beautiful as them
His voice fits like hell for cloud ......There I said it!
beeing the voice for such a iconic character from a remake of one of the most beloved,legendary and revolutionary video games of all times ... talk about pressure 😂😂😂
BUT he is SOOOO GOOD !!!😍♥️
I swear im not following you lol
@@lukedodson3441 😂 ok i guess this is some type of spiritual connection regarding our FF love>~
I see u everywhere lol
@@Killer_Kris7 next one 😂♥️
Dang this guy can literally play cloud if they ever did a live action
Please, GOD NO! Do NOT make a live-action FF anything. We've seen how horrible live-action video game movies are, and the last thing we need is another one!
@@ZhangtheGreat relax, hes just joking
All I am seeing is Cloud his voice is perfect
that face? AND that voice? he's lucky
Somehow my brain thinks Cloud is dubbing him when he's talking. 😂😂
I like his new voice
The first cloud I head was Tim but this guy Cody is actually better because is not an emo voice but is actually more masculine and better
Yo ended up being the perfect voice for cloud, man I couldn't picture him sounding any other way now. The whole VA team blew it out of the park
closing my eyes and imagining cloud is in the interview
You he's so perfect because his voice closely matches the Japanese voice actor's.
He is probably the only VA that doesn't change his voice hen it comes to voicing Cloud
Seriously, he did a fantastic job as Cloud.
"If the price is right....."
FF7 is NOT a cult classic. It was, and still is widely/globally popular.
I loved his voice as Cloud!! Like several comments said: pretty much all VAs did a great job. But He is just PERFECT. Plus, I never thought I'd say that...but I prefer the english voices over the japanese.
He did such a great job voice acting Cloud; I don’t mind the fact they changed actors for him at all, while I absolutely loved Steve Burton’s work in Advent Children, etc. ♥️ Can’t wait for the next installments of the game!
It's crazy to think he went from Chimera in Teen Wolf to voicing Cloud Strife. Also Cody sure is handsome
When he talks i just hear Cloud. Amazing
It's kinda strange how they had Cody go into the details of what it's like to voice act and whether or not it's his natural voice, but then when they cut to the gameplay, it's mostly Sephiroth doing the talking in the scene they show. You'd think they'd show an extensive clip of Cloud's dialogue that shows off Cody's voice work.
Even his Face could Pass to be “The Living Cloud” waaaahihihi just make his Hair a lil bit More “Spiky!!” Handsome Man portraying the husky Voice of the same Handsome Character!🆒😆😍7️⃣ (just like Steve Burton before💪🏻🥰👍🏻)
No.
damn he nailed it perfectly
The guy who plays Derek Hale is Sephiroth and I love it!!
He sounds like Cloud Strife. First time watching this.
I had no idea I needed Theo as Cloud
Cloud is his natural voice wtf ... Cloud is the real actor here
His voice for Cloud is perfection
Final Fantasy 1 is a cult classic. The 12-million seller Final Fantasy 7 on the other hand is anything but a cult classic.
AlexRN agreed bc a lot of people know about FF7
Yeah, LMFAO off a the cult-classic.
This is awesome, especially after playing thru that iconic game and listing to cloud, now hearing it from Cody's voice. Bravo kid!
Cody did great as Cloud! Super believable and really made me love the character!
I put 100 hours into the game. it's awesome and Cody nailed it.
Close your eyes and all you can imagine is cloud talking to irl people
The way he exclaims, “What the hell!?”, when stabbed by Tonberry is perfect.
3:21 bruh that small adjustment he made in his voice wow
Playing it right now . You did a great job
Reporter: *Would you be interested in a intervi-*
Cody: *How Much Gil?*
Feels so weird to hear Cloud talking about playing basketball in indiana.
"Yea! Nailed it! I know! Thank you! Moving on! "
Aww I was in love with pretty Little liars and he was Aria's little brother this is crazy. And teen wolf lol. Final Fantasy 7 is my favorite game ever and now all im going to hear in his voice is Cloud 👀😆💖💛 the honor to play that character. The game is absolutely incredible and magical 😊🌟
I can't unhear him as Cloud now, loved him as Theo in Teen Wolf, he is amazing and hot, hope he returns for ff7 remake part 2
Just as long as Tyler doesn't return as Sephiroth.
Anyone else here closed their eyes and pretty much heard Cloud doing this interview?
3:47 The news censored that word.
Funny how the audio glitched out at that very moment
Cody is the BEST Cloud
I don't know why, but his voice hypnotized me. I can just pass all day listininf his voice (One reason because that its because he his Cloud voice actor. But dude... his voice it's amazing to me.) It's just me?
"It looks different" "A little bit"
I see him as Cloud now 😂
Having played the remake and loving how perfect Cody is as Cloud's VA, when I hear Cody talking now all I can hear is Cloud.
Damn, it’s weird listening to Cloud talking about football
3:24 Legendary "Not interested"
