[@Dae...]

Cody Christian's voice is so soothing.

[@fredo3161]

I'm impressed that Max Mittelman does Red as he sounds nothing like him.

[@abeldiaz3877]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

[@gasparguruoftime5475]

Yup, I feel the same lol. Everyone else you can hear the similarities in their voices, but not him.

[@DJDancin4theheart]

Max as Red will always confuse me. Like I know it’s him but my brain can’t reconcile that. I always expect to hear Ryuji or Plagg or something not that voice.

[@errgoseven4680]

I thought he was the voice of Reno, and he's not?

[@abeldiaz3877]

@@errgoseven4680 looks like not...

[@BBrawler101]

I hope that one day we'll see that video of Matt reacting to getting to play Vincent lol. I want to see the look on his face as Vincent pops up on that screen and he starts freaking out.

[@kirara2516]

right? same!

[@InfiniteMelodio]

its up on Square Enix channel now

[@mf-h3659]

The fact Matt has come dressed as Gackt is all kind of crazy brilliant

[@dopus5873]

Britt's voice is the best thing to happen to tifa. It matches so well. I played the OG Ff7 after remake and i swear i can only hear her voice. She's the best English voice for tifa till date.

[@crashwithkirby6708]

I love how they tried to fool us about Matt not being Vincent by making him the host, kind of like how they fooled him into believing he wasn’t booked for the job, and pranked him… but none of us were having it 😂

[@galaxy_kitten95]

Let’s take a moment to appreciate how all of them (except for Max 😂) all wore color coordinated outfits that matches well their characters. ❤

[@TrvisXXIII]

Suzie made me cry at the end of the FF7R DLC, for that reason alone she’s my favorite

[@kaneki18-d1t4]

I still can't believe that Theo/Cody Christian is Cloude's voice actor 😱

[@Step43099]

It still gets me lmao. Mf Theo ended up being Cloud Strife so cool

[@Finn-wc8nq]

I didn’t realize it until the scene where cloud is chasing aerith and calling her name, I went wait a minute I recognize that menacing cadence

[@TopHatOnline]

After some research, it still blew my mind that this is the same guy who did the role for Asher Adams from All American.

[@queenkupottv]

@@Step43099he ended up being apart of a new pack😭😭😭

[@DarkLord-7]

I really love that Matt Mercer got Steve Blum's blessing. And hey, if Steve approves, and this is one of Matt's dream roles, I have no reason to doubt his performance as Vincent Valentine.

[@LizLevan]

He also was Gamondorf in Tears Of The Kingdom which he did an amazing job with so I know he'll do an amazing job as Vincent.

[@fsgjafgja]

J. Bentley, aka Barret Wallace, IS THE MAN

[@justincaelas]

Loved Cody Christian, he's a stud and love his voice acting, he does a great Cloud!

[@elwinbu5926]

10:09 the perfect Tifa's laugh❤

[@TSNicole]

Suzie is sooo precious!! And so incredibly talented. She pulls off being both Yuffie AND Makima -such DIFFERNET characters, so so well.

[@elwinbu5926]

I love the interaction from Yuffie and Vincent VA at the start😂

[@Wezt334]

Honestly the only other actors I’d have been happy with as Vincent would’ve been Liam O’Brien or Crispin Freeman so Matt is a great choice

[@galaxy_kitten95]

Seeing how Crispin Freeman voiced Alucard from Hellsing, he would’ve been my immediate second choice.

[@Daiblix]

Not Crispin Freeman, he does so many background characters with the same voice he is completely immersion-breaking at this point.

[@Wezt334]

@@Daiblix disagree but nothing wrong with your opinion

[@twilightfire93]

It'd have been kinda funny for Liam to be Vincent since he was Red XIII in Advent Children. Only one line, granted, but it would've been funny lol

[@DayFul]

Suzie nailed that clapback at Matt 😂

[@KrimsonKracker]

Cody Christian going for the "Ben Hansen if he were a pro golfer" look...

[@vanthadoun1]

Max Mittelman is a treasure!!! His personality and his love for the franchise is what makes his characterization so wonderful. I know alot of audiences are hesitant to embrace a Young/Old RedXIII voice dual role. But its part of his backstory. I know the rough and tumble voice from Remake was what we expected but they delve deeper into it in Rebirth. Plus Max is just a joy, his voice is amazing!!!!

[@mizorechan2150]

why i hear like cloud and tifa voice is same even they use it for normal talk

[@17jacoyne]

from the moment i heard Vincent's voice in the ff7 rebirth trailer, i totally called that Matthew mercer was gonna voice the character, of course if mercer is playing vincent in the ff7 remake trilogy then square should cast marisha ray as luceria.

[@ernel7261]

Ayo Suzie Yeung's favorite FF game is FFX! It's my first FF game ever played as well. Brings back memories!

[@emptymelodies3316]

Thank you for this video highlights!

[@reloadpsi]

Gotta love how the video title gives a guy voicing an NPC (in this title anyway) top billing. That's how you know a dude's made it.

[@LydiaLegault]

FF8 is fantastic too!!! To have it mentioned. The soundtrack for 8 was my childhood. Once I played FF7, I fell in love with the music immediately. One Winged Angel perfectly speaks to Sephiroth. It’s a scary freaking song and it works so well. Love the Final Fantasy series as I’ve played more titles over the years. To see such a fantastic classic be remastered beautifully has been so awesome! ❤❤Can’t wait for Rebirth!! Counting the minutes lol

[@Drakengard65]

I knew that Matt was Vincent. I can spot that sexy voice anywhere :P

[@Hayri2011]

Japanese voice is soooo much sexier tho

[@loganthevillager9176]

@@Hayri2011 Nah. Nobody can beat Matt Mercer. Not even a sub.

[@fransta2165]

Red's favorite game is FF8. I don't know how I feel about that.

[@emil4445]

Same with Clive/Ben Starr

[@ernel7261]

FF8 Remake? Me is ready for that tho

[@livith9]

@@emil4445And Ray Chase if I remember correctly

[@altheatoldme5003]

Dude, FF8 is so sick.

[@BabyYodie]

FF8 was a very serious entry with an amazing cast of characters, villains, and theme of tying past to present. It was an awesome game :) oh yeah and the music was cozy af

[@Dracobyte]

Great highlights video!!

[@XBC3-4GOTY]

Yuffie Voice Actress is Cute 🥰 like Yuffie

[@brother_of_light]

Lets face it, he really would've wanted to play Sephiroth. And he would've killed it.

[@thribs]

Where’s Superman? :)

[@Nerojin91]

When i hear Max speak i can't help but just hear Saitama and no one else

[@llrainll]

I love this!

[@danpage3942]

Brianna as aerith is the only one that’s missing, I guess she was probably too nervous as you can tell she’s uncomfortable with these large audience events. She’s my fave

[@GalekC]

I think she said it was a scheduling issue

[@ugh5281]

she couldn't be there unfortunately but they showed a short video of her.

[@malpercio123]

I feel like Caleb should have been there.

[@kei2kei]

Okay, now we need a Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII REMAKE. Hands up to who's into that!

[@SooRandomTV]

No no no no no no no no no no..... no

[@McMemeTME]

I dunno… I can only hope they redeem it in the process if they go forward with it.

[@awwmahbreadsticks1094]

If the story gets re written remake style

[@Jonoridge]

What does Max mean when he says he never had a PlayStation so couldn't play FF7, but his favourite is FF8? They were both on the PS1. I'm assuming he's getting FF8 mixed up with a different Final Fantasy?

[@jdugans77]

FF8 was also on PC

[@tylocook]

So was FF7, but maybe the port was way worse.

[@KolmManison]

Maybe Max wasnt tech/game savvy back then, who knows. Took me two weeks to realize I gotta check compatibility mode on Prince of Persia Two Thrones on Steam for the current windows. Happens to all of us.

[@christianfserna]

I was gonna bring this up too

[@jetreyes842]

oddly enough related to that. ffviii had a pc port with that chocobo gaming thing so it was the first ff i played since we had a pc but not allowed gaming consoles.

[@90hmoobxyooj]

Both Steve and Matt were at the Rose City Con. I didn't see coming.

[@jpk9902]

8:20 John's story about his professors getting jealous that he booked an acting job in college really irks me. It seems like it's the bitter failures that end up being acting teachers who take it out on their students. No wonder so many people quit acting. Giant egos and narcissism surrounds you in that field

[@peachesandcream4937]

Omg max is literally itto from genshin 😆😆

[@pmontu333]

Where’s Aerith?

[@hortinus]

More importantly, how is Aerith? 🤨

[@KrakkaJax]

Sephiroth got her RIP 😔

in the bottom of the lake or pond or whatever.

[@ndrcalrryx2094]

There's some strike going on from what I heard so she didnt appear due to that.

how did he play FF8 but couldn't play FF7 ?

[@kidkytes6233]

He only had FF8 on PC.

[@ichigokurosaki69]

Yh the thing is ff7 has a pc version too (even before steam)

[@littlebigkicker]

bring back noctis he didnt derseve to die and bring back genisis lolz

[@nslater1388]

I really wanted Steve Blum to remain the voice of Vincent. Too bad.

[@Fluckinoob]

While no one disagrees none of the original voice cast are even present so it was unlikely

[@EvelynL.1112]

​@@FluckinoobApparently Square decided to fire the old cast and replace them because "muh we need younger actors!"

[@Ch0c0b0]

The one guy talking about FF8 makes no sense. 1: VIII and VII are both on the PS1, and 2: the FF8 disc does not play music in a cd player. So he was just trying to look cool. Its okay to admit that youre not a fan of something

[@113archer]

Much like myself, growing up he didn't have a ps1. Most likely played it later on ps2 or 3. I did the same thing. As for listening to music, you could buy cd soundtracks of the games, or they would come as a collector option. I'm 34, and google says max is 33, so the timeline fits lol

[@TSNicole]

dude I had it on pc, what are you talking about

[@lyozixv]

Why do you feel the need to be so negative about actors pouring their heart into something we all love?

[@guygrohl7610]

I remember as a kid being like "I wonder what would happen if we put the game disc in the stereo?" and being pleasantly surprised that it had like 30-something musical tracks on it.

[@thunderpeteii]

i bought both of them on pc back then.... It wasn't like now, especially for pc. Once they game wasn't stocked at stores, you couldn't find it to play it. And unlike consoles. A lot of game stores didn't carry used pc games. Internet was really slow back then and lots of kids didn't really have it (to steal). I begged my parents to go to like 10 different stores and waste a whole day to find final fantasy vii, after I loved final fantasy 8. If my parents didn't give into my begging, i wouldn't have been able to play it either. I'm 35, he's younger then me, so it would have been even harder for him to find it.
