"You're always in my heart, my loves..." Teared up something awful when I heard that in game for the first time. Almost made me get caught in an aoe because of it lol.
I just love how the Gods just decided they’d like to have some fun with us. They’re all so distinct and different in personality, I can’t wait to see the rest
Did you know there's a bit of foreshadowing as to the identities of some of the members of The Twelve? During a quest chain in Elpis, you meet two NPCs: Maira and Alkaios. The pair of them are examining concepts created by a man named Kleon, the batrachoi and the Io. The pair wind up being revised of flaws by the Warrior of Light into the monsters known as Gigantoads and Behemoths both of which feature as adds before the battle with Nymeia and Althyk. Additionally, at the end of the quest chain, the Warrior of Light tells Maira about the funerary tendency in Eorzea to place Nymeia lilies for the departed. The first quest in the chain is *An Expected Guest,* though it is an Aether Current quest. If you haven't complete the chain, the next quest to look for is *A Better Batrachoi* to the northwest of Elpis' map.
She's Zenos if Zenos was mentally stable. You can tell she's not some violence-hungry beast. She enjoys it like it's a good-natured sport, not as her sole personality trait.
Some corrections from a giant voiceover nerd who has been cataloging VO information for FFXIV for a few years. No offense intended, but most people have incredibly bad ears for this type of thing. Nophica = Y'shtola, both voiced by Robyn Addison Halone = Zero, both voiced by Cassie Layton (Cassie Layton is my personal but quite confident theory; uncredited thus far) Althyk = Golbez, both voiced by Joseph Capp (Joseph Capp is only fan-credited as Golbez thus far) As for the other two... Nymeia = Bloewyda/Singingway/Dulia-Chai, all voiced by Rachel Atkins (my personal crackpot theory; confidence level is only about 50% on this one) Menphina = I haven't a bloody clue. Maaaaaaaaaaybe Meteion (Rosie Day)? On the topic of Nymeia and Menphina, there's been speculation from other fans that both of them are voiced by Ryne's actress (Emma Ballantine). First, some background information. It's been a *general* rule, ever since we first got boss voices in Stormblood, that Alliance Raid voiceover work is done by whichever actors were already present in the booth for that patch's MSQ. We saw this very clearly in Aglaia during patch 6.1: Nigel Betts (Vrtra) as Byregot, Robert Vernon (Estinien) as Rhalgr, Sheena Bhattessa (Nidhana) as Azeyma, and Jonathan Bailey (G'raha) as both Nald and Thal... all of whom appeared with voiced lines in the 6.1 MSQ. So Ryne's actress being present here in the 6.3 raid would be anomalous. Admittedly, no more anomalous than my personal guess for Nymeia. But still.
No Doubt of actors: Nophica - Robyn Addison (Y'Shtola) Halona - Zero (Dunno Actor's Name Yet?) Althyk - Joseph Capp (Golbez) Confident, but not strongly Nymeia - Rachel Atkins (Dulia-Chai, Bloefwin) Menphina - Rosie Day (Meteion)
While they sound similar, I doubt it's Mela Lee, since she is based in the US, and the FFXIV voice cast is from Britain. They usually "reuse" the same actors from the same patch. So the probable options are, Y'shtola. Alisaie, or Zero's voice actresses. Like it's almost a given that Nophica uses Y'shtola's.
When I saw Halone, my mind blue screened cause I thought I was looking at Malenia. Spent a minute panicking and yelling in Alliance chat for everyone to find Let me solo her's summon sign.
Dressed in full Halone's Mail of Fending with sword and shield to match, I did scream in alliance chat "LET ME SOLO HER" at one point either in chat or in VC, it was a bit of a blur doing that blind run with friends
I think Deryk may be the unnamed one, cuz they're meant to observe without getting involved and at multiple points in the questline he shows concern about being too involved in the affairs of others.
@@pizza9798 Deryk is almost certainly Oschon. Oschon is a wanderer who wanders alone to know of man's solitude. Deryk is a wanderer who always wandered alone and expresses surprise to have found happiness in being around others. He wears green, the same color as Oschon's wind aspect. He talks about how he will have to leave soon and will miss the friends he has made. It's not subtle.
It just occurred to me that Althyk is more or less in an Alliance Raid Dungeon with a harem of other goddesses, especially when you realize who one of them is to him
Halone is exactly what we wanted and so much more. She not some angry lady who just wanna fight, but a loving being who is hurt when her children kill each other. I was really surprised. She just loves combat, because Ishgard exists. She doesn't want us to make her sandwich, she would make it for us ;-;
I'm almost confident in these VA placements: Rhalgar = Estinien Naldthal = Graha Tia Byregot = Vauthry or Vrytra Azeyma = ??? Althyk = Fourchenalt Nymeia = Dulia Chai Halone = Sadu Menphina = Nanamo
Trying to figure out who voices Halone has been driving me nuts for days now. To me, it sounds like either Elizabeth Maxwell (who hasn't done any FFXIV before) or... Sadu's VA? I guess?? Wish they'd list them somewhere. No clue about Zero either :/
Pretty sure she's the same VA as Sadu. It was driving me nuts too, until the "lose yourself in the joy of battle" line happened while I was doing the fight lol. Sounds exactly like Sadu
Doubt it's Elizabeth Maxwell. FFXIV's English voice cast now are all English actors under the studio Side UK based in the UK. My guess is Halone being voiced by Zero's VA, but we won't get an exact confirmation on any of the Twelve deities until patch 6.55 when the final credits roll for Endwalker. Just gotta be patient for the next 8-9 months!
I was gonna comment this too. it sounds like her normal voice but shes making it lower. Not surprising tho considering Yshtola's Eng VA already voices another boss (Titania)
I wonder if theyre featuring character voices from the msq as VAs for the Alliance raid. Some people had a suspicion Nald and Thal were voiced by Emet and Graha too
@@nylearcayan1355 Yes, this is what they normally do. For instance, in patch 6.1, the gods reuse the Scions voice actors. Byregot is Urianger, Rhalgr is Estinien, Azeyma is Nidhana, and Nald'Thal is G'raha.
Nophica 's VA is too calm and it is terrible. She is supposed to be a energetic goddess of life and nature, and she talks like a lifeless husk. Did the voice actor even acknowledge that there is a exclamation mark in every line?
Tbf it makes sense, they don't get any lines outside of their boss battles so it makes sense to just use VAs you already have available rather than hire new ones
Sorry to break it to you but in Ivalice they also reused VAs you just didn't notice it as much. It's theorized that Yiazmat is Urianger's VA because it sounds similar to his Mumkhar voice (Xenoblade). Thunder God Cid is also someone already in the game but most Ivalice voices have filters on them. Pretty sure Agrias is an existing one too. They're just all good VAs in this game that can do different types of voices (Urianger being Mumkhar in Xenoblade is once again the best example of range voice actors can have). Like did you know Y'shtola's VA also voices Titania in the ShB trial?
@@SilverwingedBat I did know about Titania (and I'm a big Xeno fan so I did know about Urianger/Mumkhar) but I was not aware of who the Ivalice VAs were. Though if I'm not mistaken, there is no confirmation as to who voices each boss. Their performances were great in all of their roles! Even so, they didn't do much to make the voices of the Twelve very distinct from the reused VO roles in my opinion.
@@SilverwingedBat The problem is who they are choosing to voice other characters then. The main casts' voices are way too familiar. It takes a lot away from the experience. I'm tired of hearing Thancred's voice used for any random soldier we talk to since hw ( Jullus in 6.3 sounds like Thancred too). They should only reuse the va of characters who are not so familiar.
"YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY HEART, MY LOVES" Shouted Menphina in extasy while ripping off the spines and crushing sculls of petty mortals.
"You're always in my heart, my loves..." Teared up something awful when I heard that in game for the first time. Almost made me get caught in an aoe because of it lol.
It is a very touching thing to say
I love the fact that Menphina talks to you with so much love and care, while killing you at the same time. 😂
"PRAY ACCEPT THIS MY DARLINGS" as she does a tank buster on the 3 tanks
I mean that’s a god for you LOL
No wonder Venat was such good friends with them
@@soratatami9070 Well most gods don't love you like that lol, that was pure ecstasy I was hearing
"Oh ring of ice....Have MERCY upon them!" *Proceeds to kill 2 tanks and 4 healers.*
Nophica having Y'shtolas voice makes it even better XD
Because she's mommy?? 🥺
the dude's voice is just so calm and I love it so much
Althyk's voice is like velvet chocolate. So smooth!
"OH RING OF ICE!! HAVE MERCY ON THEMMM~" Is my favorite
I love Nymeia’s voice. So cute.
I just love how the Gods just decided they’d like to have some fun with us.
They’re all so distinct and different in personality, I can’t wait to see the rest

There is even a line of dialogue Maira has that Nymeia quotes exactly in the post-raid quest.
I've done this so many times yet my heart still quivers at every one of their voice lines, and bursts the moment Halone says but just one word.
Missed, but Nymeia has a really nice line for enrage
i can't unhear that yshtla's va is playing nophica and emet's is playing althyk's. i think ryne's is menphina, and lucia's is halone (maybe)
Althyk has the voice that I wish would talk me to sleep every night.
Such a well edited video, high voice volume, minimal UI, thanks for the compilation! 😊
I'm getting the feeling the ice goddesses were enjoying themselves a touch too much there
you captured the transition perfectly at 9:10 it's so goood.
Seeing Menphina fight with a wolf, the more i yearn for beastmaster(tank)
I like how Halone comes across as a battle maniac.
Its why shes best Goddess!
She's Zenos if Zenos was mentally stable.
You can tell she's not some violence-hungry beast. She enjoys it like it's a good-natured sport, not as her sole personality trait.
4:34 anyone catch Luke Allen-Gale's Zenos voice there? Think Althyk is voiced by him.
Yeah how he said "MOMENT" was extremely Zenos-like
Probably. Nophica is the same VA as Y'shtola. The 6.3 trial boss is the same as Thancred.
@@ZephWraen Halone's VA is also Sadu's
hmmmm i hear emet

Confident, but not strongly
Nymeia - Rachel Atkins (Dulia-Chai, Bloefwin)

So it turns out Zero was actually Menphina lol
Never would I have imagined that the goddess of love would put up such a fight
"YYYESS!! Lose yourself in the joy of battle!"
She's having such a good time ☺
Halone is the goddess of war after all
I want Nymeia's hair.
Now that I'm hearing her more clearly, I feel like Sadu and Halone are the same VA
Pretty sure of it. The "lose yourself in the joy of battle" line sounds almost exactly like her lol
I love Nymeia's voice so much
I just realized that nymeia's voice actress is the one that plays Kikimora in the Owl House.!
Oh yeah, I can kinda hear that now.
While they sound similar, I doubt it's Mela Lee, since she is based in the US, and the FFXIV voice cast is from Britain. They usually "reuse" the same actors from the same patch.

i thought she sounded like nanamo!
@@sydney7113 oooooh, right! I think that makes more sense. Still they sound pretty similar
@@sydney7113 oh yeah, that's probable too.
When I saw Halone, my mind blue screened cause I thought I was looking at Malenia. Spent a minute panicking and yelling in Alliance chat for everyone to find Let me solo her's summon sign.
Halone: what did you to them?
Malenia: .... It's complicated
Did you know that she's the Blade of Miquella? /s
@@nuclearhardt I hate you XDD
@@nuclearhardt I also heard she's never known defeat.
Dressed in full Halone's Mail of Fending with sword and shield to match, I did scream in alliance chat "LET ME SOLO HER" at one point
either in chat or in VC, it was a bit of a blur doing that blind run with friends
These are the first gods to ever exist worth praying to.
This Alliance Raid is Harvest Moon.. as in it go's from a Harvesting god to the moon god.
So...what is their nature?
Venat's collaborators?
An unexpected one?
Who is the unnamed one?
The Unnamed one is The Watcher on the moon, Krile theorizes as much after reading the monument
@@Mance1680 But that is a simulacrum. It would have to be the ancient that the Watcher was based on, no?
I think Deryk may be the unnamed one, cuz they're meant to observe without getting involved and at multiple points in the questline he shows concern about being too involved in the affairs of others.
@@pizza9798 I'm 99% sure Deryk and/or his Opo-opo is Oschon

At last the time is come, and so have I.
all the times i’ve ran this alliance, i’m just now noticing that menphina backflips off the platform when casting playful orbit, lol.
What Halone meant to say was "Rejoice in the glory of combat!"
you missed the enrage voiceline of althyk and Nyemia
Menphina's like the little sister that loves to play pranks on you
6:23 This Halone attack is my favorite animation in this game so far.
It just occurred to me that Althyk is more or less in an Alliance Raid Dungeon with a harem of other goddesses, especially when you realize who one of them is to him
英語verのノフィカ様めちゃ声低い、日本語のノフィカ様は可愛くて英語のノフィカ様はセクシー！

Halone was remarkably chill for the goddess nicknamed "The Fury"
@@Konpekikaminari Did you just make a pun on her powers of Ice? :D
@@mifdsam no...
Ok yes
So basically just a more passive aggressive Sadu.
So technically alot of battle High lol
I still can’t believe Menphina and Zero shares the same voice actress
The sounds effects are loud and the the wind is pretty loud too.
I hope I'm not the only one who hears Albert Wesker when Althyk speaks lol
I'm almost confident in these VA placements:
Rhalgar = Estinien
Naldthal = Graha Tia
Byregot = Vauthry or Vrytra
Azeyma = ???
Althyk = Fourchenalt
Nymeia = Dulia Chai
Halone = Sadu
Menphina = Nanamo
I think you're spot on about Althyk and Nymeia
Nophica = Y'shtola
Althyk sounds like Urianger, Nophica is Y'shtola va, Halone sounds like Lyse. I know people hate Lyse but the similarity is undeniable.
@@Vitalrose nah Althyk definitely fourchenault
@@Vitalrose I think Halone might be Merlwyb
Halone Voicelines so good

Is that Rene Zagger as Althyk???? I love his voice here too
It's Joseph Capp who voices Golbez
Is Nophica voiced by Y'shtola?
I kinda hear Trehearne from Guild Wars 2 from Althyk...
Nophica is definitely voiced by Robyn Addison (Y'shtola's VA)
Is nophicas va the same as Yshtola?
I was gonna comment this too. it sounds like her normal voice but shes making it lower. Not surprising tho considering Yshtola's Eng VA already voices another boss (Titania)
