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.
The fact that Matt Mercer was an FFVII superfan, COSPLAYED FROM IT, and now is part of it is just so amazing and inspiring.
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.
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.
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.
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... 🙄
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
Britt was the perfect VA for Tifa!
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.
Cody’s eyes..he is indeed a first class soldier
PERFECTLY!
And he is my type too! Got me weak
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..
@@V.II. not sure what you mean, but I meant her Japanese voice
@@V.II. 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
Matt getting to voice one of his dream characters, one that he has COSPLAYED is absolutely amazing.
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!
So happy for Matt Mercer
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 didn't like it at first, but he's grown on me.
Yeah he delivered in Rebirth
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.
He bodied rebirth for sure. Great growth to see from CC days
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.
One of the greatest video game ensembles of all time. EVERYONE was perfectly cast!
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.
Cody Christian’s voice is just so . . . perfect. It’s basically just like I’m hearing Cloud do a meta interview.
Right? Sword set to the side, him relaxed in the chair.
Where's Paul Tinto? His Cait Sith is absolutely fantastic! ❤
MAKO
which only makes them not using his characters proper name pronunciation in english more sad.
@@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.
@@saphcalits cait sith and its said cait sith do you want them to call aerith aerisu instead or what?
Britt Baron is so good at voicing Tifa! She completely understands her character , that's why she does such an amazing voice acting !
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.
The English voice cast in Rebirth were PHENOMENAL in their roles 🤩👏🏼
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.
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.
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!
They struck absolute gold with these voices man
I like that Suzie is quoting the original game with her character’s greatest sin
Square Enix choose the right cast to voice these beloved and iconic characters! 😊😊😊😊😊
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. ❤️
Bri's description of Aerith sounded like a eulogy 💔
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.
Well John, Barret's story made me weep uncontrollably, so great job. 😂
His wife was so beautiful too, poor guy!
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
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
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!
It is definitely a far cry from the old cast, which aside from Steve Burton, I don't think were into voicing their characters at all
The voice actor casting is absolutely brilliant. Somehow the voices sound just like I imagined them.
Celeb did so amazing with Zack , he felt like the character and you can hear how his voice is so grounded
See I agree, I really like his Zack ...but man, I've heard alot of people complain about Caleb and I just don't get it.
@@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
Rick Gomez set a REALLY high bar, and Celeb just doesnt have the same magic.
@@spoogtasticYeah it’s so dumb. I think he’s fantastic.
@@Independent365 Meh, I prefer Caleb. He feels more fully realized to me.
SO HAPPY FOR MATT MERCER. PERFECT VINCENT.
All the VA's are incredible, i genuinely can't fault any of them at all, but Barret is a stand out
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 think Calebs performance being so much better one this game is actually a case of hugely better direction as well as his own improvement.
Literally one of the greatest voice casts in video game history!
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.
They really got the best casting director for this game. What a win for everyone.
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.
Y'all forget to interview Chadley cause he got the most lines in the game lol
I genuinely think Chadley has more lines than everybody in the party except Cloud and maybe Tifa and Aerith
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!"
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
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!
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!
Red XIII's VA "There's minigames" is the understatement of the decade
The whole cast is AMAZING! I could listen to Britt's voice till the end of time. It's so soothing and comforting...❤
Matt has such a rich way of talking and telling a story, you can see the Dungeon Master coming through lol
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.
Yuffie really grew on me, she has this spunky and cheeky little sister attitude that I find endearing plus her combat is so lit
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. ❤
Cody has come out and said that for Cloud all he does is make his voice deeper
Cody christian says "tifa" 100% in clouds voice, guess its too familiar 🤣🤣🤣
Britt Baron was/is the best casting choice to voice Tifa! Even her lines in Crisis Core gave me chills!
holy moly, that story about vincent's voice actor is amazing. good stuff
There's old photos of him floating around the internet cosplaying as Sephiroth. The man loves FF7, its so cool he got to be a major character in it.
Kinda touching on the same points as a few other commenters, I feel like this game really allowed Caleb Pierce to find his footing as Zack. Like, he didn't have much to work with in Remake, so it was a little weird and jarring. Then came Crisis Core Reunion, which was also kind of a mixed bag, but he was given a LOT more to work with, seeing as CC is Zack's story. And now we've come to Rebirth, where I think Caleb has really hit his stride and found the best way that he could portray this character.
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 ❤
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.
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.]
that power point presentation announcing Matt is gonna be Vincent is def the best that's so funny and wholesome dsjhsjg
Cody did the thing!! You're the goat for getting the video of Matthew Mercer. 😉
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.
Loved Caleb's performance in this game, I'm excited to see more from him!
Goddam I love all these people so much...
Thanks Square for this video with the English voice cast!
Love these guys, I hope they know how much we all appreciate their work!
Cody absolutely nailed it!
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.
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 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
Thanks for this little doc,
The voice actors have been brilliant, they all fit so well
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.
Entire English VA cast are fantastic - thank you for this video!
Barret is such a great character lol
I'm glad I lived long enough to experience these games. Can't wait for part 3!
i love these voice actors they are amazing. :)
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!!
Tifa has a really great VA. They really struck gold with her. She really showcases a lot of complex emotions
Britt's voice is like glass. It's so clean and sharp, I just love listening to her!
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.
Every character’s voice is SPOT ON!
Barrett’s my favorite personality & Tifa is my favorite character.
Simply staggering talent and effort put into these actors. They have brought my childhood, my dreams, to life.
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!
Zack is such a bro in this game!
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.
Casting absolutely knocked it out of the park. Perfection. This remake will stay with me for a very, very long time.
I love this game to my core!.! Amazing people made this for all . Thank you so much
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
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
We dont deserve such talented voice actors. They nailed their prospective roles
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 ^_^
Is it only me? or did they choose the perfect voices for all the characters?
Great game always reminds me of my childhood playing PS1
Wish Hoechlin would speak on these games. I love his Sephy
Great job guys! I do miss some of the old cast but you all have risen to the roles you have been given. I was pleasantly surprised with Caleb performance, improvements leap and bounds in Rebirth - looking forward to seeing more of you in 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!
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.
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.
You guys make me love even more those characters, thank you so much for this
The VA were just perfect. So perfect!!!! I cannot imagine any of them being any better than this.
Also Matt is like the luckiest person ever 😂😂
