It's actually even more on the nose than in Japanese lol Ultima: この世界を最後の幻想『にゆでぐれる! (This world will be burned away into the final fantasy!) Clive: なら 俺は創世という“究極の幻想"を打ち破る! (In that case, I'll break through the "ultimate illusion" you call creation!)
@@zingodoom Thank god they didn't go full cringe. I dunno how the Japanese live with themselves with the way they phrase shit sometimes. Like the original titles of Dragon Ball Z movies: "Burn Up!! Hot Fight! Fierce Fight! Super Violent Fight!"
@@edwardking9359 Yeah, with all the media that came out before the remakes for 7, acting like the plot was in tact before remakes is how you spot a fake 7 fan.
I will always appreciate an actor who knows more about media connected to the one they are working on. Him knowing other games shows he will likely have a drive to bring passion to the role. And man did he deliver
When Ben said chocobo racing in 10 can go fuck itself I legit laughed hard because that was the last time I've raged at a game and almost destroyed a controller
If I am to pick one of his most iconic lines that would be "Cross you?! I'll kill you!". That is the line I and many others remember him for, especially since I did not hear it in other games so far.
@@СашаВольский-л1к The raw ANGER in that line from Ben was delivered so flawlessly! Clive truly hated Kupka for hurting Jill, and he was mad enough to the point where he would done the bastard in like she killed Imreann - worse, even. He wanted the guy's head, screw trying to negotiate - there was no sympathy spent for him; he straight up wanted him DEAD
FF XVI takes it literally. You end up matching and surpassing his strength with all of the Eikons, puncture him with a blazing sword right to his heart and THEN pull out the biggest Asura's Wrath haymaker right to Ultimalius' face. Cleanest kill to any god in Final Fantasy history.
The "The only Fantasy here is yours" line is such a perfect encapsulation of the series as a whole. It's corny, and silly, but it's also so undeniably cool too. It's perfect.
Played almost every main FF game and their sequels except for 12. Loved ff16 I remember being super hyped I bought the ps5 just for it. Best 2 weeks of 2023 summer
It’s so amazing to see how much Ben Starr loves Final Fantasy! That passion absolutely lended to his performance, I genuinely don’t think anyone else could’ve delivered as much as he did 🥲
This guys passion goes unmatched in any industry, let alone video games. Also, I don’t care what the haters say, FF16 is amazing. I put more than 150 hours into it completing on FF mode. The music and visuals blew me away.,
Love Ben Starr, his voice acting was one of the highlight of the game ! Definitely contributed in making Clive my favorite FF protagonist. Can't wait to see what's next for him.
In before fighting against Clive's inner denial is so impactful. That fight in particular is the definition of a good character - accepting his flaws, absolving his fears and striving to become a better person.
Tbh, Ben Starr made Clive for me. I met Clive through the FF14 event, thought his story was interesting, but it didn't really do anything else. When it came out on Steam, it was the day after my 35th birthday and I was like, what the hell, birthday present to me. And then I played it and it's Ben Starr's performance that did it for me. Esp towards the end when he wails about ------ yknow. Like that was raw and ugly and excellent.
Very surprising to see that the voice of Clive is a huge FF fan. In a perfect world, everyone who works on a thing is also a fan of that thing. Amazingly done. I have no idea how he could remember all of that.
3:56 - For a second, I almost thought this was G'raha from XIV. But then I was like, "No, it's 'Stand tall.' Who says this again?" And then Noct came in and I just got hit from remembering this scene in particular. 😣 6:14 - I KNEW this was going to pop up. 😂
honest to god when Ben speaks more quietly all i can hear is Arthur Nightingale from Warframe 1999, i mean i know the update isn't out yet at the time of this comment, but still, theres some stuff where Arthur is there and has lines
Final Fantasy XVI added the swearing to be so natural, and I'm all for it! It's like when Clive and Joshua were fighting Bahamut - he instantly says "Fuck!" like he's in for a thrashing. Even against Titan, he got slammed against the wall and dragged down and all he could say is "Fuuuuuuck!" Who wouldn't start to swear if you're starting to get humbled or pinned against stone?
The performance of this man (and everyone in the cast really) was so superb, that as someone who enjoys japanese voice acting in general couldn't even try this game in any other language than english.
When English voice acting isn't afraid to be corny and a bit childish at times like the Japanese equivalent, it becomes REALLY good. Games are one of the best medium examples on this.
Actually, the developers of Final Fantasy XVI said it themselves - you can change the text to any language you want, but they highly recommend people play it with the English voice acting. Rare for a band of developers to say to their community that a game is best left with the English audio.
This is great to see, but I need to cover up them Final Fantasy XVI moments since I am ALMOST to the end 😢 I can't shatter my heart now while it's healing from Odin's onslaught 🥺
I remember that moment when John Fantasy said "The only fantasy here is yours and we shall be its final witness!" and then he Final Fantasied all over the place.
What is the best quote in Final Fantasy history?
Ride ze shoopuf?
I will never be a memory.
There ain't no getting offa this train we're on!
"I'm Captain Basch fon Ronsenberg of Dalmasca!"
"Basch lives!!"
"Stay away from the summoner!!"
Still cant believe they eloquently said "This will be your Final Fantasy" 😂😂
It's actually even more on the nose than in Japanese lol
Ultima: この世界を最後の幻想『にゆでぐれる! (This world will be burned away into the final fantasy!)
Clive: なら 俺は創世という“究極の幻想"を打ち破る! (In that case, I'll break through the "ultimate illusion" you call creation!)
By the way Ultima / Mythos means quite literally Final Fantasy 🫡
Edea says it in FF8 but only in the Japanese version.
@@lanonyme-vod8090 and suddenly those words popping up all over the series makes so much sense
@@zingodoom Thank god they didn't go full cringe. I dunno how the Japanese live with themselves with the way they phrase shit sometimes. Like the original titles of Dragon Ball Z movies: "Burn Up!! Hot Fight! Fierce Fight! Super Violent Fight!"
Ben is to Final Fantasy what Henry Cavill is to Warhammer 40k. This man knows his stuff.
oh man imgaine Ben and Henry together acting powerhouse
I dont care how corny that line is, basically saying the games name was epic AF, and it still send tingles down my spine.
especially because the book is titled "Final Fantasy".... absolute perfection!
I lost my mind at that moment.
@@tylerhanson5791I lost it too, but not in a good way 😭
It makes me wanna replay it so fucking badly LMFAO
Ultima mythra translates into final fantasy
It’s so thrilling to see a VA that plays FF games. Ben such a sweetheart too.
Yes
"favorite character? - Tifa." there was not a single moment of hesitation xD
Jill is in tears rn
@@ChaoticFrenziedStarsame face and model anyway!!😅
@@josephazanza8856 i can kinda see it
"Oh no! Don't ask me to theory-craft!"
That's the correct answer to anything in regards to 7 and 7 remake. (Tifa is also the best.)
Which is strange considering there is already a FF7 canon. This reimagined version is complete trash
@@kjh4496 There's always that one guy. Congratulations, you're him.
@@kjh4496 7 canon is already incredibly convoluted
@@edwardking9359 Yeah, with all the media that came out before the remakes for 7, acting like the plot was in tact before remakes is how you spot a fake 7 fan.
Ben Starr: Do you remember all of your lines from one game?
Matt Mercer: Do you remember all of your lines over a decade?
Where was Ben Starr when I needed to understand FF8's junctioning system all those years ago.....
I had such a hard time as well! Lol although I was like 10 when I played it.
playing FF8, probably
Being hot lol 🤣
"Feet pics for free Ultima"
Omfg, Ben 😭😭😭😭😭
Ben Starr was perfect in this role. Happy to see he’s getting more awesome voice roles.
I love Ben Starr so much, and he did so well. He is the true Clive Rosfield!
I will always appreciate an actor who knows more about media connected to the one they are working on.
Him knowing other games shows he will likely have a drive to bring passion to the role.
And man did he deliver

As a Final Fantasy fanboy getting involved in your favorite franchise is just a dream come true.
If I am to pick one of his most iconic lines that would be "Cross you?! I'll kill you!". That is the line I and many others remember him for, especially since I did not hear it in other games so far.

"The only fantasy here is yours" is now Clive's rage art in Tekken 8.
"Punch god in the face" is a pretty good way to sum up Final Fantasy as a whole.
FF XVI takes it literally. You end up matching and surpassing his strength with all of the Eikons, puncture him with a blazing sword right to his heart and THEN pull out the biggest Asura's Wrath haymaker right to Ultimalius' face. Cleanest kill to any god in Final Fantasy history.
Final Fantasy games:
Disaster happens
Fighting for your life
Fighting for your friends
Deicide
"I think he was horrified." 😭😭
That edit he mentioned of the golden girls song, that has to be the funniest fun fact i ever heard in any game
The "The only Fantasy here is yours" line is such a perfect encapsulation of the series as a whole.
It's corny, and silly, but it's also so undeniably cool too. It's perfect.
When he said "GOOD BOY", I just spilled everywhere. Rawr
Played almost every main FF game and their sequels except for 12. Loved ff16 I remember being super hyped I bought the ps5 just for it. Best 2 weeks of 2023 summer
Don't have a PS5. Had to wait for PC... I took off work just to put in 10 hours when it was ported. Couldn't put it down
It’s so amazing to see how much Ben Starr loves Final Fantasy! That passion absolutely lended to his performance, I genuinely don’t think anyone else could’ve delivered as much as he did 🥲
This game was fucking BANGING.
6:15 and 6:20 damn he said it the EXACT same way
"Feet pics for free Ultima" took me out 💀Ben is such a treasure. And he did so well here!
HE IS SO DAAYYYUMMM FINE.
It’s unfair.
"Heal my wounds boy!"
Kratos… telling Donald to heal him…?
My wounds boy... TORGUL
'The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded, never forget them.' - Yuna, FFX
No person in the entire universe has any business being as handsome as this guy. Jesus Christ. It's just some bullshit.
Bro the man is cultured as fuck dude
This guys passion goes unmatched in any industry, let alone video games. Also, I don’t care what the haters say, FF16 is amazing. I put more than 150 hours into it completing on FF mode. The music and visuals blew me away.,
There will always be that loud minority my friend, yhe case for any game. Enjoy what you like without thinking about them
"Favorite character? Tifa..."
I always knew Ben to be a man of culture, this only cements that thought.
the characters of final fantasy 16 I liked them so much
Might have to play final fantasy XVI again
Ben starr is frigging awesome!
i remember his iconic FF16 line: "one ticket for barbie, please", i cryed
He is the Ryan Reynolds of voice actors and it’s great
Love Ben Starr, his voice acting was one of the highlight of the game ! Definitely contributed in making Clive my favorite FF protagonist. Can't wait to see what's next for him.
He deserves an award for his performance
Please call me a good boy... again and again again.
The fact that he can named the lines from which FF is truly amazing.
Ff 16 was so wonderful, this man brought to life one of my favorite characters ever written in a final fantasy game, kudos to ben
Love to see how much of a fan Ben is, and appreciates these games as much as we do!
"What can I say? You guys are the best."
Takai had to hold himself to not fire everyone over the golden girls edit
" I am a shield of Rosaria... and I will do my duty! "
Ben Starr and Golden Girls?! YASSSSSS!!!
love Ben Starr, such a real fan
1st time seeing the voice behind Clive and the comment about Chocobo Racing had me laughing hard xD
I only play the demo so far but man, this dude rocks.
Omg man...PLAY THE GAME. it's fucking amazing
@krystal7916 I am! I bought it to play over the holidays
Ughhh I just adoreee Bennnnnn!!! T^T ♥♥
dude is so handsome. I feel weak in the knees and warm in the .... uh... central regions
"No matter how bitter the truth that awaits me, i will press on" that most iconic line by me
In before fighting against Clive's inner denial is so impactful. That fight in particular is the definition of a good character - accepting his flaws, absolving his fears and striving to become a better person.
My mother loves Midsommer Murders. I love how Ben describes the story!!
He spittin' about Brother regarding FFX.
man i didnt realize how many MCs he did in FF

we were surprised how good he was too!
To be fair…. He screams at Joshua to wake up a lot
so sleepy
I love these videos!
more coming every week!
3:56 - For a second, I almost thought this was G'raha from XIV. But then I was like, "No, it's 'Stand tall.' Who says this again?" And then Noct came in and I just got hit from remembering this scene in particular. 😣
6:14 - I KNEW this was going to pop up. 😂
Benn Starr must be most passionate voice actor in Final Fantasy history! 😃
04:01 all the emotions washed over me again like a tidal wave when I saw this again :'(
Right? That was so out of pocket😭
Every single line from Tekken
3:00 you can tell he's a good actor because he even did the hands with the voice 😂
Clive is so cool
That comment on the chocobo racing passed the vibe check. lol
HOW DID HE NOT WIN BEST VOICE ACTOR 😭
honest to god when Ben speaks more quietly all i can hear is Arthur Nightingale from Warframe 1999, i mean i know the update isn't out yet at the time of this comment, but still, theres some stuff where Arthur is there and has lines
"favourite character: Tifa... anyway carry on" Haha too good.
I've always loved FF and Dark Fantasy, so to finally see the two together was amazing!
He was oppressed in the award for the best voice performer
still can't believe he didn't win the best performance for a VA last 2023
i’m sure the winner did a great job (i didnt play bg3) but some of the voice acting from Ben was genuinely earth shattering
Yeah he got robbed of that for sure
1:33 good boy... mmm
NEURON ACTIVATION 🙈
Still can’t believe he didn’t win 2023 voice actor
I started playing XVI a few days ago and so far I think Clive's motto is "fuck,fuck,fuck!"
Final Fantasy XVI added the swearing to be so natural, and I'm all for it! It's like when Clive and Joshua were fighting Bahamut - he instantly says "Fuck!" like he's in for a thrashing. Even against Titan, he got slammed against the wall and dragged down and all he could say is "Fuuuuuuck!" Who wouldn't start to swear if you're starting to get humbled or pinned against stone?

he´s not even doing a voice that´s just what he sounds like :p natural badass

Love this!! Love Ben! Thank you!!
The greatest thing to come out of FFXVI was Ben himself. He is a true gem.
Ff16 imo is a masterpiece. So many cold lines
Damn, this channel deserves more subs, great content here!
"And then he just goes and punches God in the face." This man knows his Final Fantasy 😃
What a coinkidink, I watched this today and now my mum is watching Midsomer Murders, I look up and who do I see, it’s Ben! 😊
This is great to see, but I need to cover up them Final Fantasy XVI moments since I am ALMOST to the end 😢
I can't shatter my heart now while it's healing from Odin's onslaught 🥺
I like his final line against ultima the "the only fantasy here is yours and we shall be its final witness".
He really said "Yeah everytime I go to the toilet I say Come To Me Ifrit" 😭
I love this man
As a huge horror fan, I respect the bookshelf in the background 🙏🏻
Thank you, Ben. 8 is my favorite too and Squall is my spirit animal 😅
this is the real actor
I keep hearing Batman every time Clive talks in the game 😂 😂
I remember that moment when John Fantasy said "The only fantasy here is yours and we shall be its final witness!" and then he Final Fantasied all over the place.
BEN STARRRRRR
" Can you see it too? Jill. "
love this lad
I laughed then I cried when he said that Final Fantasy line while I was playing 😂
