The laugh scene was made to be akward because it wasn’t a “real” laugh in the context of the scene and what was happening. But most of the pople took it the wrong way.
I don't think anyone who played it took it the wrong way, just lightheartedly joking about it. Those that mock it as bad voice acting or anything else negative I assume haven't played the game
@@Leondragon06 Awesome! Hope you had a great time. I've been in contact with another Final Fantasy actor who's interested in attending Comic Cons in the UK. Hopefully that person will be able to attend in 2020
@@lucinae8512 I was there too. She was absolutely incredible. We even did a video together. I should warn you, my Mr. Crocker impression is awful: ua-cam.com/video/tZtCV66-NoI/v-deo.html
James Taylor is such a talented dude. I remember that back in the day when FFX was just released he had a voice sample on his site that had him doing something like 40 voices of famous characters in one minute. It was insane
Hands down still the best Final fantasy. They put everything into it. Great actors, super powerful soundtrack, ambitious story dealing with themes of religion, honor and finding your place. The other games are great too but something about this cast is just legendary...Great vid!
Agree. I always judge other FFs to FFX in terms of a full package Final Fantasy game experience. Call me a hopeless romantic, but the romance in FFX was my favorite part of the story. Many other FFs just lacked in the romance department. I would consider FFXII up there with FFX but it was devoid of romance so it just doesn't compare. I still have the FFXIII trilogy and FFXV to try out to see where they stand to FFX but I am not too optimistic.
I actually met James Arnold Taylor during NY ComicCon of this year and he is the absolute nicest person. What I loved about my interaction with him is that during the event, I was cosplaying as Tidus and he had this feeling that he knew I was such a huge fan of the character since I was trying my best not to cry and had my PS4 copy of the game, that he gave me a hug and we chat for a few minutes about the game and record a video where he did a few quotes and both of us doing the Tidus laugh. He was so amazing to the point where he posted a picture of the two of us on his Instagram page and I was such in joy. It’s amazing how at 50 years, he still has the ability to voice a 17 year old protagonist and as someone who is called by others as the biggest “mark” for the character and both games, he is truly one of the best people you can meet and can give you advice about life.
Thank you for this video! I am a huge FFX fan, but I never knew Wakka and Kimahri had the same voice actor! And I didn't recognize him at all in Disenchantment!! John DiMaggio... What a talent! I forgot to mention, that in my opinion (and those of my friends who also played FFX), Seymour's voice always seemed out of place in comparison to the others. But yeah, tastes differ.
No mention of Drawn Together? Both James Arnold Taylor and Tara Strong (as well as Cree Summer who voiced multiple characters in X and X-2) starred in the series.
I liked the video alot. I personally would’ve wanted to hear the actors voices more to drive home the points you were making about how talented they were or how big of a range they have. Thanks for taking your time to read this. Have a nice day.
My only nitpicking is that you could have mentioned that Hedy also reprised her role as Yuna whenever the character appeared in something. X-2, Kingdom Hearts, Dissidia, World of FF.
The voice cast are all legends, and knowing the impact they had with nearly 20 years of hindsight (I now feel very old....), screams volumes. James and John are easily among my favorite voice actors, and I can't wait to hear James reprise his role as Obi-Wan once more.
Tom Kenny also apparently did the voice of Starscream in 2008's Transformers Animated. I didn't know that Tara Strong & Gregg Berger were among the voice cast for the US version of FFX1! 😳😳😳
I love all the minor characters Tom Kenny played in FFX. I think my favorite one was Bobba, one of the commentators at the Luca Blitzball tournament. He sounded exactly like the narrator from the original PPG(who Kenny also voiced)
Thank you once more for dedicating your time and efforts to release great videos that not only entertain us but educate us on our favorite game Franchise! You guys are the best!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💕💕💕💕😊
Jhil nabaat? Woah its kind of a slap to the face finding same voice actors at different places. Same when i found out caius ballad is the voice of yasuo from LoL
I'm surprised you didn't mention Quinton Flynn, the voice actor of Raidan from the Metal Gear Solid series. In FFX, he voices Isaaru (summoner you fight when escaping prison) and Bickson (main Blitzball bad guy). I recognized Quinton's voice immediately when I played FFX for the second time after almost 20 years.
Please cover FFXV voice actors. When it comes to actors that cross the barrier between voiceover and screen roles, Adam Croasdell is quite the versatile talent and deserves more recognition.
Matt McKenzie and John DiMaggio are the two VAs from FFX I love the most! Auron was my favorite character from the game... And when I played Kingdom Hearts 2 for the first time and I seen Auron... I squeed so fucking hard when I heard McKenzie reprised his role!! Wakka MAY just be my favorite character John DiMaggio voiced, right next to Bender. He has recently voiced Heidegger in FF7 remake! His range in performances never cease to amaze me!
I actually have a Subscription on James Arnold Taylor. I even Commented on some of his and Replied back. 1:32- Well it was due to the limitations of the Playstation 2 Hardware. 3:15- Really? Silvester Stallone? John Di Maggio didn't put much effort when doing the voice of Kimahri. One of my younger brothers actually met Tom Kenny and has asked him how he makes the Sponge Bob laugh. I didn't know he was Heffer from Rocko. I just watched that Rocko Special from last year.
I completely forgot James Arnold Taylor was Tidus as I have been rewatching Star Wars the Clone Wars and love Taylor’s performance as Obi Wan and I love his voice of Tidus
I would love a video like this for FFXIV, the actors in it from the first expansion on feel so much different from the more anime influenced style of voice acting that we get in the US and with the base 2.0 game where they used American voice actors. I just want their great performances to be appreciated.
I'm glad that they went with unknown talent instead of bug stars. I love Spirits Within and revisit it constantly, but some of the voices take me out because they are immediately recognizable.
FFX Is one of my favorite Final Fantasy games, and was the first time ever playing a final fantasy game. having missed out on VII, VIII, And IX. As a kid. I had a hard time getting past some of the parts. I didn't know how to grind and use the sphere grid correctly. Now that I am grown up. It's one of my favorite games of all time, but is also one of my favorite Final Fantasy Games. As an introduction to the series. it's the perfect introduction. Tara Strong is one of the actresses I recognized during the game having grown up with the Batman Animated Series. First time I heard Rikku go "YAHOO!" I was like "IS THAT HARLEY QUINN!?!" and also as a kid... I could not stop staring at Lulus uuuh.. Chest.... I was like 12 when this game came out 11 or 12 one of the two. And was just starting to mature.. BUT EVERYTIME! ... Now that I am 29... and replaying through the game.. I am noticing her uuh outfit looks like it's ready to just slide off. She is probably one of the more attractive characters in the series. Up there with Tifa, Aerith, Garnet, and Rinoa. I am currently playing through the series again. Starting with X. Then deciding if I wanna go to IX, VIII, or play one that I've already played such as VII. All I know is. I have a lot of good memories with Final Fantasy X. Maybe someday we will get X-3. But part of me hopes it doesn't happen.
I knew OF Tara Strong, mostly from playing Harley Quinn (& a few others). But I was surprised at how MANY characters I was familiar with that I didn't ever know SHE was the one who voiced them! Wow.
I would love to know who does the voices of the Aeons a lot of these voices are very familiar the voice of Yojimbo really stood out and I can't put my finger on it of who it is
my favorite character is definitely auron personality wise the thing is i don't use him alot during late game i use tidus wakka and rikku sometimes yuna for summoning
People give the voice acting in this game a lot of flack, but I think the tone of their voices and the overall emotions were there. Dubbing was a relatively new endeavor for SE at the time and I think most of the issues came from post production where it seemed like they sped up the delivery of certain lines or kind of stopped the voices abruptly, but overall it’s not HORRIBLE, they’ve just improved the craft of dubbing overtime.
A little disappointed that with all the roles you brought up for James Arnold Taylor, you never brought up his role as Yggdrasill, the villain of the JRPG Tales of Symphonia. That one's particularly notable/ironic as people consider it a sort of more refined version of FFX's own story. So in a sense Tidus played the villain of his own story this time around.
I remember when James Taylor made the Tidus-laugh version of At Zanarkand, what an absolute madlad
I have the laugh version of Suteki Da Ne as my ringer. Unless you're in on the joke, it just sounds annoying. Lol
@@Thefruitspeaks Any man of culture would appreciate your ringer
he didn't make it lol
And JAT explains it
He didn't make it though. It was just a visual thing he did. There is the entire OST of FFX in Tidus' laugh.
The laugh scene was made to be akward because it wasn’t a “real” laugh in the context of the scene and what was happening. But most of the pople took it the wrong way.
I don't think anyone who played it took it the wrong way, just lightheartedly joking about it. Those that mock it as bad voice acting or anything else negative I assume haven't played the game
I appreciate the amount of time that is taken in order to make these detailed videos, its amazing and entertaining to watch
So far I have met James Arnold Taylor (Tidus), John DiMaggio (Wakka & Kimahri) and Tara Strong (Rikku). They are all such talented, wonderful people!
I have met the same 3 at FanX/Salt Lake Comic Con. I hope more of X voice actors come to FanX
@@Leondragon06 Awesome! Hope you had a great time. I've been in contact with another Final Fantasy actor who's interested in attending Comic Cons in the UK. Hopefully that person will be able to attend in 2020
Matt Thornton I’m jelly
I just met Tara Strong in London, and that's all I need. Most of the others are great, but she's the queen of voice acting.

"It's over, Seymour. I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!"
Ok but in like 3/4 of the fights seymour had the high ground
BlakidComedy just like Anakin lost 3/4’s of his combative ability after the lava river
I can’t help but hear Timmy Turner when Rikku says, “woohoo!” At the end of a battle.
Thank you for this video! I am a huge FFX fan, but I never knew Wakka and Kimahri had the same voice actor! And I didn't recognize him at all in Disenchantment!! John DiMaggio... What a talent!
I forgot to mention, that in my opinion (and those of my friends who also played FFX), Seymour's voice always seemed out of place in comparison to the others. But yeah, tastes differ.
That's kinda the point though. Seymour is supposed to stand out. He's the only one of his kind in existence.
ONE word, is all Hedy Burres need, to bring tears to my eyes.
All voiceactors of FF 10 did a wonderful job.
No mention of Drawn Together? Both James Arnold Taylor and Tara Strong (as well as Cree Summer who voiced multiple characters in X and X-2) starred in the series.
We got the best voice actors we possibly could for the characters imo, love them all
Wakka's voice actor is the same as Kimahri...
**mind, blown**

I love Terra Strong. She’s a great voice actress. I didn’t even know she was in FFX. She’s awesome.
Dwight Schultz is another good mention. He played several characters and have been in just about everything.
Damn right!
The voice cast are all legends, and knowing the impact they had with nearly 20 years of hindsight (I now feel very old....), screams volumes. James and John are easily among my favorite voice actors, and I can't wait to hear James reprise his role as Obi-Wan once more.
Marcus Fenix is Wakka - mind blown
Rikku was my waifu when I was little.
NOT because of Tara Strong. But because of her sweet personality and catchy design.
Great vid!
Still one my fave ff characters lol.
Matt McKenzie is also the voice of Vincent Valentine in FFVII Dirge of Cerberus and Advent Children...
That was Steve Blum.
FFX came out almost 20 years ago?? jesus...I still remember the day when it came out and everyone was playing it. oh my god...20 years!
Tom Kenny also apparently did the voice of Starscream in 2008's Transformers Animated.
I didn't know that Tara Strong & Gregg Berger were among the voice cast for the US version of FFX1! 😳😳😳
As an aspiring VA myself, stuff like this is fascinating to me.

Would like more videos like this. Would love a FFXII and XIII series
X-3 at all?
This was great. I was only just talking about James Arnold Taylor the other day!
Please do a Final Fantasy XII ep like this!
Jhil nabaat? Woah its kind of a slap to the face finding same voice actors at different places. Same when i found out caius ballad is the voice of yasuo from LoL
I'm surprised you didn't mention Quinton Flynn, the voice actor of Raidan from the Metal Gear Solid series. In FFX, he voices Isaaru (summoner you fight when escaping prison) and Bickson (main Blitzball bad guy). I recognized Quinton's voice immediately when I played FFX for the second time after almost 20 years.
Great video! It blew my mind to learn that Wakka and Gilgamesh share the same voice actor.
Please cover FFXV voice actors. When it comes to actors that cross the barrier between voiceover and screen roles, Adam Croasdell is quite the versatile talent and deserves more recognition.

Wakka MAY just be my favorite character John DiMaggio voiced, right next to Bender. He has recently voiced Heidegger in FF7 remake! His range in performances never cease to amaze me!
Yuna’s voice actress was also in perfect blue and NAILED IT!
Don't recall Hedy Burress in that film. And Bridget Hoffman (KOSMOS from Xenosaga, Atoli from .Hack//GU) voiced Mima.
Tara “I voiced your entire childhood” strong
I actually have a Subscription on James Arnold Taylor. I even Commented on some of his and Replied back.
1:32- Well it was due to the limitations of the Playstation 2 Hardware.
3:15- Really? Silvester Stallone?
John Di Maggio didn't put much effort when doing the voice of Kimahri.
One of my younger brothers actually met Tom Kenny and has asked him how he makes the Sponge Bob laugh. I didn't know he was Heffer from Rocko. I just watched that Rocko Special from last year.
Great thanks, crazy to hear their versatility
I completely forgot James Arnold Taylor was Tidus as I have been rewatching Star Wars the Clone Wars and love Taylor’s performance as Obi Wan and I love his voice of Tidus
I've been playing this since the first release on ps2 but I NEVER knew Rin was voiced by Tom Kenny! Thats insane.....
Wow! Has it been that long? Almost 20 years. I remember I got FFX and my PS2 on Christmas of 2002. My very first PS2 game. Such memories.
Was one of my first ps2 games too lol. I had ff10 mgs2 and few other games, ofcourse I played this first lol.
Time flies so fast :(
Wow! I had no idea Jecht and the Pain were voiced by the same actor. Truly amazing!
Thank you!
This is so neat!
this could be a series of videos i would love to watch
House is one of my favorite shows, and I’m just now learning that that was Yuna 🤯
I’m surprised you mentioned the Spyro series, and yet didn’t mention how Jecht’s voice actor also voiced Hunter and Ripto from the Spyro franchise.
i cant imagine a more perfect voice acting cast
Wakka is played by Bender?! How did I not know this until now?
Great video.
You miss one the voice actor or Yuna also dose a monitor roll in death note in fact she nearly gets light caught after he kills ray Pember
Btw. Nothing beats the German version of "The Grumbler"
Arleen Sorkin actually voice HQ in Batman the animated series, not Tara. Tho Tara has voiced her various other animations.
Still one of my top 5 games ever played
I would love a video like this for FFXIV, the actors in it from the first expansion on feel so much different from the more anime influenced style of voice acting that we get in the US and with the base 2.0 game where they used American voice actors.

Very interesting I am impressed how and who is what now! Very surprised keep up the good work
I'm glad that they went with unknown talent instead of bug stars. I love Spirits Within and revisit it constantly, but some of the voices take me out because they are immediately recognizable.
I meant James Arnold Taylor at Pensacola comicon 2023. :)

Its amazing how much Tara's voice has changed since x because now its very deep and mature.
Tom Kenny uses the voice of Rin in Brickleberry as Dr. Kuzniak.
Good work as always, mate. Cheers and thanks for the great content.
I knew OF Tara Strong, mostly from playing Harley Quinn (& a few others).
But I was surprised at how MANY characters I was familiar with that I didn't ever know SHE was the one who voiced them!
Wow.
FFX has a special place for for the first time FF had voice acting and I truly enjoy it definitely one of my all time favorites FF games.
I loved this video and learned so much new things. Thank you!
I Didn't know that was the guy who plays diaz in mayans 10:02
I miss Squaresoft
😢
I would love to know who does the voices of the Aeons a lot of these voices are very familiar the voice of Yojimbo really stood out and I can't put my finger on it of who it is
Yay thank you 💖
You forgot to mention that Matthew reprised Auron in KH2.
WHAT
John DiMaggio is inKIM POSSIBLE AS DR DRAKKENAnd THIS TIME I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS
such a iconic cast ♥️
My only real gripe with this video is that it's about voice acting but rarely we hear the voices of the characters
my favorite character is definitely auron personality wise the thing is i don't use him alot during late game i use tidus wakka and rikku sometimes yuna for summoning
The voice of rikku i think it has played in the BigTimeRush series
Where is Maester Mika ? He's different from the rest
This is pretty cool but it'd be great to hear a few more clips of non-FFX characters to compare, although maybe you can't for copyright reasons?
Can you do Barret in origins next please
Wasn't James Arnold Taylor Woldoor sockbat?
I love the voice acting in this game to this day

Love this channel.
good stuff
God damn it I love this channel..
James arnold Taylor plays a great guy gardner in batman brave and the bold
Yuna : I'm The President of The United State!! 4:21 (Vote Yuna)
And Tifa was in Italy
Dang, the voice of Auron is a hot daddy like Auron himself
FFX is simply the GOAT! 😎
I didn't know that his name was Teedus
It's not. It's TIE-dus. Sqeenix keeps getting it wrong in everything they put him in.
So say we all.
It begins, don't cry
A lot of them came back together for final fantasy mobius
You calling Tidus "teedus" right at the start is a bold move.
The good thing is that even though the voice actor's age the characters they played never will.
A little disappointed that with all the roles you brought up for James Arnold Taylor, you never brought up his role as Yggdrasill, the villain of the JRPG Tales of Symphonia. That one's particularly notable/ironic as people consider it a sort of more refined version of FFX's own story. So in a sense Tidus played the villain of his own story this time around.
Game is extremely underrated it’s top 2 out of all FF games second to only 7 in my book
Lol the thumbnail then he was video game character and now he is real person
