Such an amazing VA cast, everyone knocked it out of the part. Ben Starr is the clear MVP with his range as Clive through this amazing and epic journey.
Really great VAs. Loved everyone. Jills Voice is so great. Love her deeper voice, just like tifas. And her relationship with Clive was one of the most beautiful i've ever seen. You just wanted to protect her at all cost.❤
Huge props to Nina, was completely amazed by her acting and Benedikta ended up one of my favorite characters. The entire game had amazing voice-acting and I hope it remains the standard for FFs to come.
As a very, very long time ff fan, Jill shot up the ranks as one of my favourite FF characters because of her voice acting. Her character visual design is a little bit generic, her voice actress gave her so many dimensions.
Susannah Fielding honestly deserves an award for her performance as Jill, I haven't even finished the game but about 40 hours in and her voice work consistently sounds so emotional and believable at the same time All the VAs really are a highlight of the game
I know its been said before but there are heavy hints in the game that he survived, but I get it, after so many weeks of playing I wish they would've showned a more explicit ending.
@@lavarithat’s actually a very good point that I personally had not thought about. Taking Cid’s name in many ways is a Chekov’s Gun, setting up that it may happen. Clive used many names. Clive, Wyvern, Cid The Outlaw, and Lord Underhill. Nothing to stop him from using the quill Harpocrates gave him to pen a book of his adventures under Joshua’s name that his brother may live on.
The voice acting in this game is some of the best ever seen in a video game. Incredible range, emotion, and the characters felt more real than any FF game before it because of the well written dialogue and the incredible voice talent. Superb.
I agree 100%. I didnt think i could ever love the characters in a FF game as much as i do FF7. But man they really nailed it. I’m halfway through the game and extremely pleased with the story and gameplay.
Everyone did such an amazing job. I STILL get emotional thinking about the story! I think it has usurped my all time fave FF and is now #1 for me. Bravo!
Easily. There's not a comparable performance this year. I think he would win any year though. The performance was even better than Christopher Judge's for GOW:R
This cast did so well on the story! Ff7 was one of my favorite ff games up to date, but this one just tied with it. This story was very well done as well as the other character arcs as well!. Congratulations to the whole team and actors who put there heart and soul into this.
Ben and Susannah, and all of the incredible VAs of this game, thank you for lending your talents and pouring your hearts i to your performances. Strong cast of characters that we'll never forget!
it's not goty material for sure, but I think it was the best final fantasy I've played. Three kiss scenes with Jill was more than enough to call this game wayyyyyyyyy better than FF15.
Clive is easily the best FF protagonist we've ever had. Also, really nice to see a jrpg give respect and credit to their English voice cast you rarely see that happen.
He's kind, strong, has his morals that he follows, he is great at internally looking at himself and rationalizing the situations he's in. I love Clive so much
Best single player FF game since 12. only FF games I didn’t enjoy were X-2, Lightning Returns, and I guess 15. I never really finished the main story of FF15 as I just never really got into it. It didn’t suck me in and hook me the way 16 does.
Would have love to see joshua's VA specially the younger version.. when i played the demo his performance is the one who stoodout for me most specially during the battle between the two eikons of fire..
Oh my... I already had a crush on Susannah Fielding just based on her voice and performance as Jill (who is one of my favorite FF characters). But now I see Susannah Fielding and she's absolutely beautiful as well. Hot and talented is one hell of a combination!
I love the fact that all these very talented voice actors are all English their voices and accents fit perfect for this specific cast of characters well done
Thanks to these awesome voice actors/actresses so we can enjoy this masterpiece! Especially after SE finally released the patch 1.03 which fix motion blur causing sickness issue so I start playing again! (The shimmer on edges of characters and some objects are still there, but without mention blur things get A LOT better now!)
Honestly one of the greatest cast of voice actors I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. Clive and Jill in particular, especially their scenes together, are probably some of the best I’ve ever experienced. Trust me when I say I got truly emotional from their performances. Thank you all for the amazing work!!
I finished Spider-Man 2 weeks ago, and I can say without a doubt as an adult gamer with over 35+ years of experience, FFXVI deserved to be nominated and win GOTY... I'm upset with the amount of the younger generation that wants to HATE on everything, your game brought me more joy, then GOW Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, combined and I'm a huge Sony fan, but the music, VA, cinematic cutscenes, story, and epic game play etc. That FFXVI brought was second to none IMO.. Thanks to everyone who poured there hearts and soul into that game, and know it's definitely my Game of The Year 2023.... 😊
The cast drove this story so well. Idk how active a choice it was but shout out to Nina for the accent shift her character does when upset. I feel it really made the character seem more complex and real.
The voice acting in this game is top notch, especially Ben and Susannah. The scream Jill makes when you die is more than enough motivation for a person to never want to reach 0 hp. I hope they iterate on the things that worked well in the game and bring out a sequel or DLC with more Final Fantasy game design tropes like actually having a controllable party, elemental weaknesses and status effects.
4:25 "Obviously you're gonna lose against me" Unironically I did die during the Hugo fight, I got greedy for combos during his earthen fury and didn't get out in time HAHAHAHA
I like the attention to detail for the Young Clive and the Cloud with beard (such small changes, but his voice gets stronger giving a powerful perspectice of Clive).
I just got platinum last night and found some lines of Clive kind of subtly awesome. The “hehe” after Joshua’s “a cough? I think we are past of it” in the ruin. Wow. Weakened but trying to cheer himself up when compromising. Actors and directors all did a great job! Thank you all!
Really amazing cast and also an amazing story! I’ve played most of the Final Fantasy games throughout the years and I have to say that this one is definitely up there on one of my favorite FF games of all time.
I loved all benedikta's scenes. Her facial expressions were so incredible and it was only amplified by her dub performance. That scene between Cid and Benedikta really got me when I played the demo, and I still replay it over and over
I loved the English dub cast so much. They all did such an phenomenal job. I can't stop tearing up every time I think about the ending and how much the VAs delivered. This game was absolutely amazing and so heartbreakingly wonderful.
They actually went English first! So that makes a bigger deal imo. Translating oftens times isn't as good, cause either they don't care or whatever. But if it's the only language at first, you kinda gotta do well the first time. Not everytime, but it helps
A bit of a late release for this video, huh? But yeah, the cast was amazing. Everyone was really good, and the animations of the characters really helped the final effect to be next-gen. Definitely a gem of a game.
Such fantastic voice acting and voice direction in this game. I am loving it. ALSO those cardboard cutouts of the characters behind the voice actors are so good! I haven’t seen that art before
Such an epic tale and game this was. You can recognize Ralph Inesons voice with ear muffs on in the middle of a war zone inside a tornado. Most famous sounding voice ever.
Thoroughly enjoying the journey of the game, from the voice acting to the amazing characters and set designs, square created a very heartfelt experience!
Susannah Fielding as Jill was the best decision ever, her voice is incredibly fitting to Jill's character. Such range, I especially like how the sweet and mellow version of Jill sounds.
Such an amazing VA cast, everyone knocked it out of the part. Ben Starr is the clear MVP with his range as Clive through this amazing and epic journey.
He really should win a year end award
I'm not super convinced with Mid.
the scene with him and annabella at twinside right before he fights you-know-who had me screaming at my tv lol
Indeed, he runs the whole gamut from whispering to whispering slightly faster.
Really miss Dion's actor in this, he had such an amazing performance
Yeah, Dion is my favorite character as well as Barnabas! All the voice actors did an amazing job!
He’s extremely busy unfortunately
ooooo
Gav, too. Too many to choose from
Just was about to talk how amazing the voice over delivery of Dion was, I even saved some in game gameplay recordings.
Really great VAs. Loved everyone.
Jills Voice is so great.
Love her deeper voice, just like tifas.
And her relationship with Clive was one of the most beautiful i've ever seen.
You just wanted to protect her at all cost.❤
Huge props to Nina, was completely amazed by her acting and Benedikta ended up one of my favorite characters.
The entire game had amazing voice-acting and I hope it remains the standard for FFs to come.
A hummer we didn't get to see Stewart Clarke, he was incredible as Dion.
Jill was a treasure. We did not deserve her.
It was honestly the best voice in the game for the best character. Her range was impressive, I especially liked how mellow and soft her voice can be.
As a very, very long time ff fan, Jill shot up the ranks as one of my favourite FF characters because of her voice acting. Her character visual design is a little bit generic, her voice actress gave her so many dimensions.
Finished the game last night. One of the best videogame stories I've ever experienced.
Susannah Fielding honestly deserves an award for her performance as Jill, I haven't even finished the game but about 40 hours in and her voice work consistently sounds so emotional and believable at the same time
All the VAs really are a highlight of the game
My GOTY, these guys nailed their roles!
Nailed it? The went beyond nailing it. 😀
@@educationiskey3331absolutely
This brings a smile to my face. Side note, the game starting with Clive by the bonfire and ending with a kid lighting fire was so poetic 💖
The ending absolutely destroyed me, Ben Starr did such a phenomenally perfect job
I haven't felt this empty after finishing any game.
Unbelievably beautiful game, but that ending left me hollow.
I was even more amazed young and adult Clive are both Ben Starr.
I mean he really managed to sound younger.
@@gamergeek7482 And in the scenes where he did both flawlessly? God, what a legend
I know its been said before but there are heavy hints in the game that he survived, but I get it, after so many weeks of playing I wish they would've showned a more explicit ending.
@@lavarithat’s actually a very good point that I personally had not thought about. Taking Cid’s name in many ways is a Chekov’s Gun, setting up that it may happen. Clive used many names.

All of them did an incredible job. I enjoyed the performances so much.
"You'll get no pity from me Koopka! NO PITY.....and NOH....MiERCY!!!" Shivers me timbers every time.
Best cast in gaming this year no contest. The performances are all unique and special I truly think these actor’s deserve awards later this year.
I agree 100%. I didnt think i could ever love the characters in a FF game as much as i do FF7. But man they really nailed it. I’m halfway through the game and extremely pleased with the story and gameplay.
That was sweet. They all did a fantastic job with voicing the characters and bringing them to life!
Ben Starr is outstanding. As is Jill's Voice actor i could listen to these two characters all day
The voice acting in FF16 elevates the story telling and sets a new height in final fantasy series
all of them did such a phenomenal job. i loved everyone. thank you for bringing life to these characters.
This cast is so legendary in my eyes.
Everyone did an amazing job with their voice acting, bring to life all the characters and making them memorable.
This game has been a treat! I'm taking my sweet time with it because I don't want it to end.
Exactly
Enjoy it man...😢
Are you doing all side quests ?
@MrMark350 i did all of them.
same here lol
I think Cid was my favorite, hes got a unique voice.
Everyone did such an amazing job. I STILL get emotional thinking about the story! I think it has usurped my all time fave FF and is now #1 for me. Bravo!
David Menkin is incredible in the game. He's well suited playing as a broken and insane man, like Malos and Barnabas.
Finding out he did Malos blew my mind. Dude has insane range
INDEED
The acting in this game has been absolutely amazing
The best English dub in gaming. No contest
It was recorded in English first so that's probably why
its not an exaggeration to even think or say this because the cast did an amazing job.
The Last of Us is on the same level
Fanboyism is a desease.
Its technicly not a dub, english is the games first recorded language, the japanese is technicly the dub in this case.
Ben starr gonna win award for performance actor i'm sure of it
Easily. There's not a comparable performance this year. I think he would win any year though. The performance was even better than Christopher Judge's for GOW:R
Ahh... Clive and Cid. My favorite bromance
This cast did so well on the story! Ff7 was one of my favorite ff games up to date, but this one just tied with it. This story was very well done as well as the other character arcs as well!. Congratulations to the whole team and actors who put there heart and soul into this.
Ben and Susannah, and all of the incredible VAs of this game, thank you for lending your talents and pouring your hearts i to your performances. Strong cast of characters that we'll never forget!
They were all amazing performances. But my Gosh, Ralphs' voice is pure and raw manly-hood haha.
I hope Ben wins at TGA.
Game of the year and best cast in gaming. Everyone deserves an award.
The game was okay. Don't think its going to make game of the year though
it's not goty material for sure, but I think it was the best final fantasy I've played.
Three kiss scenes with Jill was more than enough to call this game wayyyyyyyyy better than FF15.
DEFINITELY not the game of the year😅 glad you had such a great time with it tho :)
@@finalfantasy84 nope it is game of the year, now go cry more.
@@joesuh7492
You’re working on an intellectually primitive level if kissing is all it takes to think a game is good.
Clive is easily the best FF protagonist we've ever had. Also, really nice to see a jrpg give respect and credit to their English voice cast you rarely see that happen.
He's kind, strong, has his morals that he follows, he is great at internally looking at himself and rationalizing the situations he's in. I love Clive so much
I feel like this game was clearly made with the English voice cast in mind. It was shocking how well they embodied English humour/banter
@@Jeyblox they have localisation manager for that I think
Clive is my new favorite character in ff history
@@Jeyblox it was originally done in english
I'm having an absolute blast with it. So fun, very highly recommended if you haven't picked it up yet.
Awesome Final Fantasy XVI The English Voice Cast Video.
Best single player FF since 10. Great game and a truly unforgettable story.
Best single player FF game since 12. only FF games I didn’t enjoy were X-2, Lightning Returns, and I guess 15. I never really finished the main story of FF15 as I just never really got into it. It didn’t suck me in and hook me the way 16 does.
Send my heart to you all, it was absolute beautiful voice acting. Thank you
Would have love to see joshua's VA specially the younger version.. when i played the demo his performance is the one who stoodout for me most specially during the battle between the two eikons of fire..
Just finished the game, the best ending in video game history and game of the year hands down.
FFX still has the best ending for me, but this game is a very close second 👌
all characters were made and performed so brilliantly!!
Best voice acting in a game I have heard in a game. Story also was very moving. Hope other languages got such good treatment as the English did.
Only now i realized Barnabas has the same VA as Malos from Xenoblade 2
Ben absoloutely nailed it as Clive, I hope to hear more of him in the future.
Oh my... I already had a crush on Susannah Fielding just based on her voice and performance as Jill (who is one of my favorite FF characters). But now I see Susannah Fielding and she's absolutely beautiful as well. Hot and talented is one hell of a combination!
Every single voice actor in this game deserves so much love. The voice acting is fantastic, from the protagonists to every little NPC.
Phenomenal game, phenomenal cast!
I love the fact that all these very talented voice actors are all English their voices and accents fit perfect for this specific cast of characters well done
you know they did a good job casting when the characters voices sound very close to the actors normal voices!
What an amazing cast, they did an amazing job with this game. Dion's voice actor was incredible as well.
Fantastic job. I cannot believe the range Clive has in the game; sometimes he sounds like a completely different person.
This is the first game I dared pay $69.99 for and it had to be a physical copy.
Worth every dollar.
This voice cast really did such a phenomenal job. The story had me hooked the whole way through .
Thanks to these awesome voice actors/actresses so we can enjoy this masterpiece! Especially after SE finally released the patch 1.03 which fix motion blur causing sickness issue so I start playing again! (The shimmer on edges of characters and some objects are still there, but without mention blur things get A LOT better now!)
Just actors now, "actress" is a word that stopped being used about 15 to 20 years ago.
Honestly one of the greatest cast of voice actors I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. Clive and Jill in particular, especially their scenes together, are probably some of the best I’ve ever experienced. Trust me when I say I got truly emotional from their performances. Thank you all for the amazing work!!
Congrats to all of them. Brilliant work.
Such an amazing great and phenomenal voice actors. Bravo. One of my favorite final fantasy games
This gaming is amazing !!! this cast is amazing... EVERYTHING IS AMAZING
I need a DLC/Sequel
Amazing cast. ❤️
Cost me $660 to get this game! my most expensive game purchase to date! PS5 bundle..... and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

That the voice actors become so enamoured with their characters - totally illustrious of how good the writing is.
They're all such beautiful people
Best game I've played this year. That song Twilight is so good btw!
Everyone did such a fabulous job on this game! From voice actors to music to the designers and writers! It all accumulated into a wonderful creation!
Thank you all for your incredible performance in this splendid game
The voice acting in this game is top notch, especially Ben and Susannah. The scream Jill makes when you die is more than enough motivation for a person to never want to reach 0 hp.

“Obviously ur gonna lose against me! Thts okay! Try again!” Im dead

Everyone was perfect. Still crying from finishing it 2 hours ago.
The best casting we have had for a long time!
Masterpiece of a game. All time top 3 for me, for sure.
Really amazing cast and also an amazing story! I’ve played most of the Final Fantasy games throughout the years and I have to say that this one is definitely up there on one of my favorite FF games of all time.

Some of the best English voice acting I've EVER heard in my life, and it's a Japanese game! I mean that in the best possible way.
They actually went English first! So that makes a bigger deal imo. Translating oftens times isn't as good, cause either they don't care or whatever. But if it's the only language at first, you kinda gotta do well the first time. Not everytime, but it helps
This was wonderfully done. It's been more like a movie experience than a game. Bravo, Square Enix!
That gonna be cool if every eikons get a decent dlc on their stories. 😅
Was an amazing experience with great voice acting! Thank you all
4:25 - I chuckled aloud at Alex's closing quip there 😆
What a cool cast
A bit of a late release for this video, huh? But yeah, the cast was amazing. Everyone was really good, and the animations of the characters really helped the final effect to be next-gen. Definitely a gem of a game.
Im seriously in love with Ben 😂❤
Such fantastic voice acting and voice direction in this game. I am loving it.
ALSO those cardboard cutouts of the characters behind the voice actors are so good! I haven’t seen that art before
Exceptional work from this cast!
I like how the two strongest female character in the game either dies or gets relegated to background noise.
Thank you for this masterpiece. The VA cast was incredible and I'll never forget the experience.
I love it perfect and Excellent FF16 yes I can't wait for it ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Both Benn and Susannah nailed their voice acting for both Clive and Jill ,also Cid ❤️. Such a TOP TIER performance 👏!
One of the best games 😊
Such an epic tale and game this was. You can recognize Ralph Inesons voice with ear muffs on in the middle of a war zone inside a tornado. Most famous sounding voice ever.
Jill’s the best! Big fan of the character.
Everyone did a phenomenal job! This was the most emotionally impactful game I've played in years thanks to the acting and writing.
Alex really channeling his inner Hugo with those rings
This was an excellent cast, everyone did a great job and really brought the characters to life. :)
Thoroughly enjoying the journey of the game, from the voice acting to the amazing characters and set designs, square created a very heartfelt experience!
This game was phenomenal in part because the actors clearly loved the project and gave it their all. God bless them for their performances. 💜
Susannah Fielding as Jill was the best decision ever, her voice is incredibly fitting to Jill's character. Such range, I especially like how the sweet and mellow version of Jill sounds.
Voice Acting for this game is AMAZING, I seriously think they picked best ppl for job! Thank you for excellent work. Cough now about that DLC...cough!
