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
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.
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 🥲
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
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.
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.
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.,
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. 😂
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?
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
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.
5:17 AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH if you're gonna write your famous quote on someone's arm for them to have tattooed, for the love of God don't put in an unnecessary apostrophe! That said, Ben is just such an incredibly cool guy I'd be happy to have his misplaced punctuation forever branded on my skin. But I'd *just* get the apostrophe tattooed, nothing else.
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 🥺
Heh FFVIII was also my first FF and JRPG so it also holds a special place in my heart, though I have to be honest and say storywise I probably think FFVI or IX are the best. Also for quotes going off FF VIII MC Squall quotes "To Tell You the Truth... I Worry Too Much About What Others Think of Me. I Hate That Side of Me... That's Why I Didn't Want Anyone to Get to Know Me. I Wanted to Hide That Side of Myself. I Hate It." or "(Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us. Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side. Just two sides holding different views.)"
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!"
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
Ben is to Final Fantasy what Henry Cavill is to Warhammer 40k. This man knows his stuff.
It’s so thrilling to see a VA that plays FF games. Ben such a sweetheart too.
Yes
"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?
"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
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 🤣
Ben Starr was perfect in this role. Happy to see he’s getting more awesome voice roles.
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
I love Ben Starr so much, and he did so well. He is the true Clive Rosfield!
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
As a Final Fantasy fanboy getting involved in your favorite franchise is just a dream come true.
"Feet pics for free Ultima"
Omfg, Ben 😭😭😭😭😭
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.

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.
"I think he was horrified." 😭😭
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 🥲
Ben starr is frigging awesome!
To be fair…. He screams at Joshua to wake up a lot
so sleepy
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
When he said "GOOD BOY", I just spilled everywhere. Rawr
6:15 and 6:20 damn he said it the EXACT same way
"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.

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.
No person in the entire universe has any business being as handsome as this guy. Jesus Christ. It's just some bullshit.
HE IS SO DAAYYYUMMM FINE.
It’s unfair.
"Heal my wounds boy!"
Kratos… telling Donald to heal him…?
My wounds boy... TORGUL
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
"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.
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
the characters of final fantasy 16 I liked them so much
Ughhh I just adoreee Bennnnnn!!! T^T ♥♥
Love to see how much of a fan Ben is, and appreciates these games as much as we do!
love Ben Starr, such a real fan
He deserves an award for his performance
He is the Ryan Reynolds of voice actors and it’s great
i remember his iconic FF16 line: "one ticket for barbie, please", i cryed
Might have to play final fantasy XVI again
"What can I say? You guys are the best."
man i didnt realize how many MCs he did in FF
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.

Takai had to hold himself to not fire everyone over the golden girls edit
I love these videos!
more coming every week!
dude is so handsome. I feel weak in the knees and warm in the .... uh... central regions
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
" I am a shield of Rosaria... and I will do my duty! "
My mother loves Midsommer Murders. I love how Ben describes the story!!
I've always loved FF and Dark Fantasy, so to finally see the two together was amazing!
Love this!! Love Ben! Thank you!!
Benn Starr must be most passionate voice actor in Final Fantasy history! 😃
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.
we were surprised how good he was too!
Clive is so cool
Please call me a good boy... again and again again.
Damn, this channel deserves more subs, great content here!
HOW DID HE NOT WIN BEST VOICE ACTOR 😭
Ben Starr and Golden Girls?! YASSSSSS!!!
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
Still can’t believe he didn’t win 2023 voice actor
He spittin' about Brother regarding FFX.
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. 😂
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?
"favourite character: Tifa... anyway carry on" Haha too good.
I love this man
He was oppressed in the award for the best voice performer
1st time seeing the voice behind Clive and the comment about Chocobo Racing had me laughing hard xD
Ff16 imo is a masterpiece. So many cold lines
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
he´s not even doing a voice that´s just what he sounds like :p natural badass
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.
this is the real actor
"Jin, what the f@ck is a hotdog?"
I like his final line against ultima the "the only fantasy here is yours and we shall be its final witness".
Thank you, Ben. 8 is my favorite too and Squall is my spirit animal 😅
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😭
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! 😊
missed opportunity to use eikonic
" Can you see it too? Jill. "
That comment on the chocobo racing passed the vibe check. lol
I’m in love with this man
How does such a small channel get so many awesome guests?
more to come!
love this lad
Ben Starr is one of the most down-to-earth and natural persons I know. He's just adorable and precious! And funny, too! And handsome! Ok, I'll stop :D
Ben is the goat what a legend ❤❤❤❤
The greatest thing to come out of FFXVI was Ben himself. He is a true gem.
I would kill for a sequel written by Ishikawa.
1:33 good boy... mmm
NEURON ACTIVATION 🙈
5:17 AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH if you're gonna write your famous quote on someone's arm for them to have tattooed, for the love of God don't put in an unnecessary apostrophe!
That said, Ben is just such an incredibly cool guy I'd be happy to have his misplaced punctuation forever branded on my skin. But I'd *just* get the apostrophe tattooed, nothing else.
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 🥺
BEN STARRRRRR
Heh FFVIII was also my first FF and JRPG so it also holds a special place in my heart, though I have to be honest and say storywise I probably think FFVI or IX are the best. Also for quotes going off FF VIII MC Squall quotes "To Tell You the Truth... I Worry Too Much About What Others Think of Me. I Hate That Side of Me... That's Why I Didn't Want Anyone to Get to Know Me. I Wanted to Hide That Side of Myself. I Hate It." or "(Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us. Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side. Just two sides holding different views.)"
May not be related to FF, but I’m looking forward to hearing more of Ben’s performance in Warframe: 1999.
As a huge horror fan, I respect the bookshelf in the background 🙏🏻
SAY THE LINE BEN, SAY IT
What an amazing voice goated mc goated voice actor one of the best games ever made
FF16 game is so GOOD!!!
