Yeah every time they spoke you could hear the voices of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Yuffie especially coming out of their real life natural speaking voices. Tifa and Aerith voice actors are using almost their real life voices for the characters so it sounds natural.
Absolutely agree with this. They really nailed the VA for this project. Everybody is very well cast, each of them sounds exactly like they look like. It’s remarkable. I really liked the VA in Advent Children, but I think they did a great job paying homage to that cast and sort of casting people in the same vein, but also doing something a bit different at the same time. It was so well done.
Red’s VA is extremely talented. All these years I thought he was an older man and than you see his range in this game when you get to see another side of Red in Cosmo Canyon. I was shocked it was still the same actor.
I also really like the narrative implications of her singing that stuff. Cause in this game her and Barrett start off a bit opposed, but he was the one singing dumb little songs in the last game!
Britt Baron is absolutely perfect for voicing Tifa. You literally cannot pick a better voice for her IMO. Every voice actor/actress is amazing in Remake, but they really nailed Tifa's voice. It matches her character perfectly.
Tifa honestly has the least fitting voice, in my opinion, aside from Sephiroth, of course. The rest of the main cast is so good. Barret is beyond perfect. Red is amazing. Cloud currently has the best English voice he ever has. Tifa… is there.
Let me just say that Caleb Pierce's performance as Zach in rebirth was a night and day difference vs him in crisis core. I wasn't the biggest fan of him in crisis core, but absolutely loved his performance in rebirth!
Problem with Crisis Core Reunion was that it had all the same stilted and awkward scripts and deliveries from the OG release, even with the updated cast. Like it tried too hard to stick to what Crisis Core was rather than revising and reworking things to few more natural as Remake and Rebirth have done.
@@Rexaura888I’d even go as far as to say they tried to have Pierce’s voice performance be more “faithful” to the original JP VA, which in my opinion, didn’t - lack of a better word - “translate” well. I think by the time they had him voice the Yuffie DLC ending and onwards, the voice director figured out it was best for Zack’s English voice to have his own sound, just as Rick Gomez did for Advent and original Crisis in English.
Barrets character has been through so much, had me sobbing during Rebrith TWICE. His voice actor did a great job. The whole English VA cast was phenomenal.
This crew is going to be the iconic voices for these characters for a very long time. Even when I play OG FF7 now, I hear their voices in my head. They've done a phenomenal job.
He's probably pretty busy with other projects because he's the biggest actor in this game, so I imagine he doesn't have the free time to sit in for these kinds of videos. I'd love it too though.
Congratulations to Caleb, he’s gotten Zack’s voice down amazingly now. Crisis Core was rough but he has definitely put in the work to improve, and we should all commend him for that ❤
I feel like the main issue in crisis core is that a lot of the animation was already done by the time they went in to record, so they were recording to fit the animation rather than the other way around, so a lot of the lines had to be stretched out or delivered in an awkward way to make it look right. I noticed this during one of the signings caleb did with briana, he mentioned that the "what is going on?" line was one that was stretched out to fit the animation.
I don't like Zack in this one. He sounds too... like he's trying to emulate Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Then again the script he has to work with is pretty crappy so it could be that.
YOU WERE ALL INCREDIBLE. Seriously, there's not a single voice actor in this cast that isn't a Grand Slam home run. Thank you SO much for your talent, your passion, your dedication to your craft, and your hard work. I cannot wait to see how the journey ends, and I wish each of you massive success in the future. ❤️
Britt Baron is the perfect embodiment of why her performance and the entire cast prove they deserve to voice their respective characters. Not only are their performances match made but they have a DEEP understanding of their character studies that further elevated the end result. Having completed Remake and Rebirth, it is to my own surprise that I can find equal enjoyment with the English voice performance with the Japanese version, whereas Advent Children Complete was with Japanese only. Voice direction is also handled with greater care than in all FF history. We are incredibly lucky to have Britt and the entire cast. I cannot imagine Tifa being voiced by anyone else. She and the entire cast has my immense respect onwards. PS @Square Enix , please consider a new alternate English dub for Advent Children Complete in the future with this endearing cast.
@@saphcal even the Japanese creators have made it clear they're pronouncing it "Kate Sith." Its a different world and they're not on Earth. There is also no Scotland on Gaia.
@@kirara2516 no. they said its pronounced that way in english, and it is. in japanese its pronounced correctly as Ket Shee and you can hear the devs say it in the other videos in this series and in the actual game if you play in japanese. his name even in the ps1, in japanese was written in japanese characters that are read as "ketto shii". his name has always been pronounced correctly in japan.
Obviously, a lot of us are here for the Matt reaction video...because obviously lmao But I loved hearing everyone talk about their characters, what stuck out to them and what they mean to them. But I really have to appreciate John _Some_ people don't understand what representation means to some of us, especially really good representation. Like he said, it would be easy to portray Barret as a stereotype or a caricature- big, loud, angry black guy. But with the way he's written and portrayed, you can easily see that he has so many layers and sides to him. He's actually really kind, reliable, thoughtful. Gotta thank the entire team for writing all the characters so well, really, but definitely for Barret and for John doing such an awesome job
Cody Christian & Britt Baron has captured my heart in Rebirth. Bri & Caleb are PERFECT. John Eric is the baddest brotha on the planet as Barret! Suzie Yeung as Yuffie is the BESTIE! And Matt Mercer... it's High Noon!
I used to think that the JP voice acting would be the best. Not anymore... these folks knocked it waaaay out of the park with this one. Can't wait for part 3!
Barret and especially Tifa are so well nuanced. I love it. Cloud has just the right amount of vulnerable badass. You can hear just a bit of uncertainty or softness even in his toughest moments. Red's voice reveal shocked me and cracked me up. Kudos to the voice actor. The whole cast is great.
Everyone has done such an incredible job with their performances. They all understand and embody their characters and add so much to the roles and they understand how important this game is to people. I can’t wait to hear how Cody tackles Cloud’s growth in part 3.
i love how much respect and admiration everyone has for their characters and the game in general. i teared up when bri started talking about aerith and i love that cody said that he's fallen in love with voicing cloud! also thanks for the video of matt in the booth learning he got a dream role of his!
Absolutely love the voice cast, Square did an incredible job getting these actors together and their performances have been flawless. They way they understand the characters is so wholesome. Cody and Britt do an amazing job understanding their characters and the journey they're going through. I honestly don't know how they can top this game. The sequel has to be immensely more emotional!
Thank you, everyone involved in this game, I haven't had soo much fun in a game in a very long time. I enjoyed every hour of the 200+ hours I have spent in this game. I tried my best to discover every corner and every little detail everyone worked on and I can tell there is love and passion behind this, not just greed like many other games.
Kudos to not only this phenomenal cast, but to those who cast them. They really found an incredibly talented group that brought fan-favorite characters to life.
Will we ever get Tyler hoechlin for one of these interviews, I get he’s a busy man but it be nice for to drop once to sit down and talk about the role especially with other cast members.
I think they’re keeping him away from these types of promos on purpose since Sephiroth is still such a mysterious character. I’d assume he’ll probably join the promo for Part 3.
Very nice to see Matt's reaction 😁 all the cast did an amazing job 🎉 They made the characters come to life and bring so much emotions to us when playing the game, thank you for your hard work ❤
All the voices are top notch! Kinda surprised they didn’t show Cait’s, since he’s more involved in the game than Vincent. But hearing the joke they pulled on Matt Mercer was cool to hear. Eagerly awaiting and dreading Part 3, because we’ll get more from these characters, but it’s also going to be the last we see them. I wish we could have more… but it has to end at some point. Maybe another beloved FF game could get the same treatment, or a new one that’s just as captivating. I never really played the original. Only through a re-release, and for whatever stopped after Midgar. I knew more of it through osmosis than playing. But after playing these two entries, I understand why people feel it’s so special, and the voice acting adds a deeper layer to that.
@@spoogtastic I think people unfairly judged him for Remake with his limited voice lines being rereads of the previous actors performance, and Crisis Core Reunion had dreadful voice direction all around (From everyone, even Tyler Hoechlin). He did a great job in Rebirth alongside the rest of the cast
Just finished the game this week, the cast was absolutely fantastic. Shout-out to Suzie though! Yuffie was such a fresh and fun character throughout the entire story! Every scene with her was super fun.
Aerith VA is just a massive WOW. Can’t explain how much I love the character and how much Briana makes me understand her sooo well. Hope that we are able to have so much moments like the ‘last date’ with cloud in the next game
So much talent in this whole cast. Its funny because most of them speak slightly differently from their characters but Britt and Cody sound exactly the same...every time I hear them speak I do a double take 😂. I hope all fans appreciate how into the game the cast got amd how much love they have for their characters. ❤
I could listen to Britt talk for hours! Her voice as Tifa is so soothing and just always comes off as so genuine and caring which is exactly who Tifa is at her core
I gotta say guys, Ive played A LOT of video games over my 25+ years of gaming and the great work each of you put into these characters is one of the main reasons why it's become one of if not my favorite game of all time. Thanks for bringing these characters to life is such a real and genuine way.
I can just hear Chadley now... "Thanks, Kanokey for that great feedback and wonderful information, I'll make sure that I categorize that into my database for the future in case an event were ever to arise where I'll need to measure that data against eachother. Just like Cloud, you're always willing to be there when the world needs it. But don't you worry, there are still more adventures that await us, and many more lines of dialogue I can share with you. Until next time!"
@@dearthofdoohickeys4703I think he’s gonna get dialed back all the way to the grave. Poor guy made MAI for the team as his own replacement, he’s interested in knowing everything he can about the world in hopes to experience all he can before the end.
This crew is downright AMAZING! They are fleshing out these characters, and making each and every one of them feel so much more nuanced and layered that I would never DREAM possible! I cannot express enough appreciation for the entire ensemble! Congrats to everyone involved!!
I wonder if they're waiting for part 3 for him to just do all the interviews and get bombarded with questions of the past 2 games leading into the 3rd.
I imagine his schedule with Superman & Lois impacted a lot of his time. These vignettes could have been shot months apart, and likely during the actual production cycle. I would actually guess that this is where they primarily recorded the game, based on Matt Mercer being in a different room. [Same room, different lighting conditions, my b.]
Did not watch any trailer of the game and I was blown away when I first saw how big the game was. I just finished the game a week ago with a 100 hour playthrough worth every money.
All these actors knocked it out the park. I was so sad to see the credits roll on Rebirth but at the same time so happy we still get to experience the excitement of one more release in the trilogy and spending dozens more hours with these characters and performances.
I've been saying this on every podcast, review and comment section I've been in, but saying it again - everyone of the English voice cast did a spot-on AMAZING job. Thank you ^_^
This is so cool! I can't wait to see where the story goes with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! All of the voice actors are so talented too! Especially the actors who play Cloud Aerith and Tifa Sephiroth! Nice job with the video too!
Such a fantastic voice cast. I never played the OG but I loved Remake and just finished the even more incredible story in Rebirth. The wait for Part 3 is going to be excruciating.
I think Rebirth showcases the greatest party dynamic of any video game in history. Thank you all for putting so much love and care into your performances.
I wouldn't be surprised if he is left out of "behind the scenes" stuff intentionally. Playing a villain is very different to playing a protagonist (let alone a villain as iconic and well known as Sephiroth), and Square Enix probably doesn't want fans to become too familiar with the character. They want Sephiroth to be mysterious and unapproachable for the player.
This was so well done, I could watch an entire 2 hour long documentary on the behind the scenes about the game and more about the actors and actresses. I absolutely love how each VA displays their love for the game and their respective characters. So much love went into this game and it shows. Brought me to tears watching this. Every VA is literally perfect for each of their roles. Looking forward to Part 3!
the VA cast in this game is ridiculously good... been saying this since day one of remake. They are all so amazing and I cant thank them and square enough for voicing my fav characters from my fav game of all-time
The cast are so bloody fantastic. I was so ready to be sceptical of new voices as I'd grown accustomed to the regular FFVII voice cast from Advent Children, Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts but wow as soon as I heard the new voice actors I fell in love with them. Incredible work done by both the talent and the voice directors.
Perfect cast all around, every single voice really works for me and that's coming from an "old" FF7 fan that played the original back when it first came out - these voices are so spot on, I feel like they are the voices that I heard in my head when I read the dialogue back then. The casting director couldn't have done a better job with finding the right actors. With FF7 and its characters being very dear to me, I'm extremely grateful that they managed to give the new party members just as perfect voices as the ones we already got to hear in Remake. I could write a short paragraph about each character but I figure that's just spam. If anyone involved reads this, please know that my praise is directed at YOU.
To have talented professionals for something they are passionate about.. even fans.. something that made an impact on their lives.. for a project is an absolute blessing. I have never seen a people more fitting for a job than these. Absolutely fantastic.
The fact that Matt Mercer was an FFVII superfan, COSPLAYED FROM IT, and now is part of it is just so amazing and inspiring.
It’s becoming a full circle for him to be Part of Voice Cast FF 7 👍
John did a phenomenal job with Barret's voice tbh. Hands down one of the best voices I've heard in a video game
He took me out a few times this game.
"You damn FREAK" - starts shooting Vincent hahaha
Seeing a big black man cry so much was so moving. It was intense.
Over the last few years I'd randomly just think of his "Marlene! I'll come back" at the end of part 1. Phenomenal performance all around.
@kieragard dude his performance with his old friend in Corel. Actually made me cry. Him and Barrets friends VA made some magic happen
He is hands down my favorite voice actor out of all of them. He gave Barrett so much more depth.
THEY GOT THE VIDEO XD!! Thank you for showing Matt's reaction to seeing he was doing Vincent.
Dude has like 20 lines calm down
@@omensoffate xP
Cody said he had our backs. He came through!
@@omensoffatehe will be alot more important in the next game.
@@omensoffate Excuse us for being excited, jeez... 🙄
I cannot get over how talented this voice cast is. Especially hearing their natural speaking voices. Wow
Yeah every time they spoke you could hear the voices of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Yuffie especially coming out of their real life natural speaking voices. Tifa and Aerith voice actors are using almost their real life voices for the characters so it sounds natural.

Incredibly well done but I have to admit I preferred the deeper voice for Nanaki, just a personal preference
I was mind-blown when I saw Max's credit as Red XIII. That was some insane range to do two entirely different voices for him!
I knew him as Saitama from One Punch Man long before the game so I was almost mad impressed by him getting the older voice.
I love you Suzie Yeung. Thank you for making the silliest lyrics into the catchiest song ever
I also really like the narrative implications of her singing that stuff. Cause in this game her and Barrett start off a bit opposed, but he was the one singing dumb little songs in the last game!
She will be singing that at cons until she dies
I am shocked when I entered the inn in gongaga and heard she was singing her theme XD
Suzie was amazing! The voice actress for Kyrie also made and sang her own song, which was also mindblowing.
@@413ICH It wasn't an Inn but Cissnai's home.
Matt’s reaction to voicing Vincent was so heartwarming.
Matt getting to voice one of his dream characters, one that he has COSPLAYED is absolutely amazing.
Britt was the perfect VA for Tifa!
No. Tifa needs a better voice actor
Absolutely. Especially in Rebirth.
Britt Baron is absolutely perfect for voicing Tifa. You literally cannot pick a better voice for her IMO. Every voice actor/actress is amazing in Remake, but they really nailed Tifa's voice. It matches her character perfectly.
Tifa honestly has the least fitting voice, in my opinion, aside from Sephiroth, of course. The rest of the main cast is so good. Barret is beyond perfect. Red is amazing. Cloud currently has the best English voice he ever has. Tifa… is there.
@IcyAuron I would have to disagree Tifas new va fits her character so well
@@IcyAuron nonsense
Everyone bit Zack
@Beckst zack is fine He got much better in Rebirth
Tifa's VA is my favorite! So soothing and emotional, but it's so subtle and soft. Just like the Tifa we all imagined
As you imagined perhaps... I prefer her original voice
@@SR-kh6yq no the disgusting wuwu English VA? No..
@@GMD3N not sure what you mean, but I meant her Japanese voice
@@GMD3N Japanese elitists overcompensating by hating the English VA = pathetic and lame
Im sorry but her english voice is the original to me cause i dont play my games in japanese.@@SR-kh6yq
One of the greatest video game ensembles of all time. EVERYONE was perfectly cast!
Let me just say that Caleb Pierce's performance as Zach in rebirth was a night and day difference vs him in crisis core. I wasn't the biggest fan of him in crisis core, but absolutely loved his performance in rebirth!

I hope one day Tyler Hoechlin will sit down and do an interview. I’d love to hear his method for channeling Sephiroth.
He's probably pretty busy with other projects because he's the biggest actor in this game, so I imagine he doesn't have the free time to sit in for these kinds of videos. I'd love it too though.
The cast in Rebirth did an excellent job, especially Cody, Briana, Britt, John, Max, Suzie, Matt and J. Michael Tatum!
Sooooo... pretty much the entire cast. Lol
Everyone did an amazing job. Props to them, they really brought their characters to life.
Don’t forget Paul.
Congratulations to Caleb, he’s gotten Zack’s voice down amazingly now. Crisis Core was rough but he has definitely put in the work to improve, and we should all commend him for that ❤

Well John, Barret's story made me weep uncontrollably, so great job. 😂
His wife was so beautiful too, poor guy!
I think Calebs performance being so much better one this game is actually a case of hugely better direction as well as his own improvement.
Absolutely love the voice cast, Square did an incredible job getting these actors together and their performances have been flawless. They way they understand the characters is so wholesome. Cody and Britt do an amazing job understanding their characters and the journey they're going through.

Just like Cloud, you're always willing to be there when the world needs it. But don't you worry, there are still more adventures that await us, and many more lines of dialogue I can share with you. Until next time!"
Yeah I hope he gets dialed back in the next game. I don’t mind Chadley, but damn if I wasn’t sick of him by the end lol.
@@dearthofdoohickeys4703I think he’s gonna get dialed back all the way to the grave. Poor guy made MAI for the team as his own replacement, he’s interested in knowing everything he can about the world in hopes to experience all he can before the end.
He talked a lot but there genuinely was some great lines and interactions from Chadley
Britt Baron was/is the best casting choice to voice Tifa! Even her lines in Crisis Core gave me chills!
This crew is downright AMAZING! They are fleshing out these characters, and making each and every one of them feel so much more nuanced and layered that I would never DREAM possible! I cannot express enough appreciation for the entire ensemble! Congrats to everyone involved!!
Question! Is Tyler Hoechlin forbidden to talk about his role of Sephiroth? Never see him with the rest of the voice cast.
I wonder if they're waiting for part 3 for him to just do all the interviews and get bombarded with questions of the past 2 games leading into the 3rd.
He's easily the biggest actor in the Remake project, he probably doesn't have time in his schedule to do press for the games
@@dominicsawicki6943 He's active on twitter and insta. He has time. The real reason is simple, it's up to Square.
That's because he's right behind you
I imagine his schedule with Superman & Lois impacted a lot of his time. These vignettes could have been shot months apart, and likely during the actual production cycle. I would actually guess that this is where they primarily recorded the game, based on Matt Mercer being in a different room. [Same room, different lighting conditions, my b.]
Did not watch any trailer of the game and I was blown away when I first saw how big the game was. I just finished the game a week ago with a 100 hour playthrough worth every money.
All these actors knocked it out the park. I was so sad to see the credits roll on Rebirth but at the same time so happy we still get to experience the excitement of one more release in the trilogy and spending dozens more hours with these characters and performances.
Loved Caleb's performance in this game, I'm excited to see more from him!
I've been saying this on every podcast, review and comment section I've been in, but saying it again - everyone of the English voice cast did a spot-on AMAZING job. Thank you ^_^
I love this game to my core!.! Amazing people made this for all . Thank you so much
Red XIII's VA "There's minigames" is the understatement of the decade
This is so cool! I can't wait to see where the story goes with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! All of the voice actors are so talented too! Especially the actors who play Cloud Aerith and Tifa Sephiroth! Nice job with the video too!
I ♥Cloud and Cody's portrayal of him was sheer perfection!! Fantastic cast!
Such a fantastic voice cast. I never played the OG but I loved Remake and just finished the even more incredible story in Rebirth. The wait for Part 3 is going to be excruciating.
I think Rebirth showcases the greatest party dynamic of any video game in history. Thank you all for putting so much love and care into your performances.
Tyler Hoechlin where you at?
Most likely busy filming Superman
I’ve noticed he almost never does press for both games
This is what I want to know!!
Bro same, his performance in Rebirth was so good and yet he still never talks about his role
I wouldn't be surprised if he is left out of "behind the scenes" stuff intentionally.
Playing a villain is very different to playing a protagonist (let alone a villain as iconic and well known as Sephiroth), and Square Enix probably doesn't want fans to become too familiar with the character. They want Sephiroth to be mysterious and unapproachable for the player.
i love these voice actors they are amazing. :)
I'm glad I lived long enough to experience these games. Can't wait for part 3!
Tifa has a really great VA. They really struck gold with her. She really showcases a lot of complex emotions
that power point presentation announcing Matt is gonna be Vincent is def the best that's so funny and wholesome dsjhsjg
Entire English VA cast are fantastic - thank you for this video!
This was so well done, I could watch an entire 2 hour long documentary on the behind the scenes about the game and more about the actors and actresses. I absolutely love how each VA displays their love for the game and their respective characters. So much love went into this game and it shows. Brought me to tears watching this. Every VA is literally perfect for each of their roles. Looking forward to Part 3!
Oh I'm glad I found out the English SE channel has one extra video for this series about the foreign voice cast!
the VA cast in this game is ridiculously good... been saying this since day one of remake. They are all so amazing and I cant thank them and square enough for voicing my fav characters from my fav game of all-time
Bri's description of Aerith sounded like a eulogy 💔
The cast are so bloody fantastic. I was so ready to be sceptical of new voices as I'd grown accustomed to the regular FFVII voice cast from Advent Children, Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts but wow as soon as I heard the new voice actors I fell in love with them. Incredible work done by both the talent and the voice directors.
You guys make me love even more those characters, thank you so much for this
Casting absolutely knocked it out of the park. Perfection. This remake will stay with me for a very, very long time.
Perfect cast all around, every single voice really works for me and that's coming from an "old" FF7 fan that played the original back when it first came out - these voices are so spot on, I feel like they are the voices that I heard in my head when I read the dialogue back then. The casting director couldn't have done a better job with finding the right actors. With FF7 and its characters being very dear to me, I'm extremely grateful that they managed to give the new party members just as perfect voices as the ones we already got to hear in Remake.
I could write a short paragraph about each character but I figure that's just spam. If anyone involved reads this, please know that my praise is directed at YOU.
Goddam I love all these people so much...
Ya. We know. You guys wanted us to LOVE the characters.... and it worked
Next to the obvious lead, Tifa is the best VA in this game. So much charm, charisma, and beauty in her tone, delivery and sultry smooth voice
would've been nice to hear Bentley go into barret's backstory a bit. it was really sad and he did a great job portraying it ❤
Dan Allen Gaming did interviews with both John Eric Bentley and Brianna White they're both good and if you're interested check em out.
Simply staggering talent and effort put into these actors. They have brought my childhood, my dreams, to life.
Every character’s voice is SPOT ON!
Barrett’s my favorite personality & Tifa is my favorite character.
To have talented professionals for something they are passionate about.. even fans.. something that made an impact on their lives.. for a project is an absolute blessing.
I have never seen a people more fitting for a job than these. Absolutely fantastic.
The whole cast did an awesome job, and i'm really happy to hear how invested they are into the characters 😊
can't wait to hear you guys again in the third part! sending love to both the eng and jpn cast for the series 🙏🏽❤️
Wish Hoechlin would speak on these games. I love his Sephy
Caleb really improved over time with Zack and in my heart I really want Aerith and Zack to have a happy ending
The voice actors were PERFECT. Absolutely amazing performances from all of them!
