Final Fantasy XIII Voice Actors: Where Are They Now?

[@photomatt11]

It’s amazing that Serah and Kainé are voiced by the same person

[@TheAuron32]

not to mention Lust in Full Metal Alchemist, that threw me for a bit, One character is sweet and innocent the other well, Lust lol

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Laura Bailey has the range!

[@georgehouliaras7239]

I remember when Troy Baker, Ali Hillis, Laura Bailey, Liam O Brian were in every game. The PS2, PS3 and PSP eras were the golden age of voice acting.

[@AntiBellum]

Case and point for Troy Baker: dude has voiced Batman AND Joker

[@shawnknepper3442]

Any NieR fans here?

[@Force-Multiplier]

Snow was still cringe tho Troy has done way better on other franchises but maybe that's on the writing and not on him

[@shawnknepper3442]

@@Force-Multiplier yeah there’s video on the retrospective of Final Fantasy XIII and how it’s one of the few FF games that had some localization issues, which is odd coming from the heels of FF XII which had one of the best localizations

[@Myda-1]

No era is the golden era of voice acting it's a continuous art that keeps going beyond a single person's interest in it and beyond anyone's career.

[@alexterieur8813]

The voice acting direction and talent in this game was phenomenal. This made me want to replay it so bad.

[@reshaykut]

I love all of their works and whole cast of FFXIII trilogy. Especially, Liam o Brian aka Caius Ballad was a beast in FFXIII-2 . I personally love so much Vanille's voice actrice. I followed her on Instagram. She ask questions to her followers wonder what they are thinking and gives always positive advices about the life and some situations. She is such a kind person.

[@gabrielpinheirodecastro2097]

Everybody hates Chris is a HUGE success in Brazil I’m chocked knowing Greg’s actor is Hope voice actor 😂

[@JeffreySmiles_]

Ali Hillis' voice has been etched in my mind for how many video games she was involved in while I was growing up 😊

[@leftymu]

I was always pretty impressed by Hope's VA. Not only was he able to really portray emotions well, but he also managed to make him sound a lot more mature in XIII-2. Laura Bailey is fantastic in pretty much everything, absolutely god tier voice actor. Troy Baker's talent is undeniable, but I definitely can't help but feel that his success has gone to his head somewhat. His attitude seems to be a bit arrogant and there was also that weirdness where he started endorsing NFTs...

[@rem9142]

I see what you mean. Often I think I'm just looking to hate for no reason but his hosting at the recent joystick awards cement my rather negative thoughts on him. I'm sure it wasn't easy to do or free of it's own stress or problems, so for that I think he did okay? But I hope he doesn't host next year, we'll put it that way.

[@AubreyTheKing]

The VAs in FFXIII is amazing! Voiced by talented people! Aside from 95% of them being well known, especially for me because I'm both a obsess anime and video game fan lol but they weren't chosen because they were well known, but they suit the characters extremely well! It's ALL about vocal delivery in VA. And FFXIII is no exception! I love them all, but Laura Bailey is my personal favorite! She is just a queen when it comes to voice acting! And beautiful! Over all, great cast! I really hope Square will remaster the FFXIII trilogy for PS5! I REALLY need it!

[@emoid8829]

The Final Fantasy 13 trilogy will always be my favorite game in the franchise!!! The VAs of this trilogy were just great in making these characters come to life. Ali Hillis as Lightning is just perfect!!!!

[@uidsea]

Final Fantasy 13 was the first and only game I completed while my buddy was still around watching. When the game came out he worked but I didn't so he'd always come back to my house and watch me play this game for like 2-3 hours a night. Honestly some of my fondest memories in my life. Thanks for all the memories 13.

[@jnhensley09]

While XIII did have its fair share of criticisms and issues, the voice acting was top notch and done very well. It was one of the highlights of the game. I would love to see more videos like this. I was just looking at the voice actors for 15 over the weekend and looking at their resumes as well, seeing if I could tell where I've heard them before or who they played.

[@rpgmasterrace3396]

FXIII was the last numbered FF game (at least for me) Feels like a FF game was modernized but i still see very clear a FF game (putting aside FF14 being a online i don't count as main game in the series as like FF11) FF15 and FF16 i liked both but i can't sense playing a true FF game like a shell whithout a pearl.

[@JackInABeanstalk98]

the dub VO is good but script is like half wrong

[@auroninja]

I've been watching The Mentalist, and in one of the episodes, Vincent Martella showed up, and I was like, Hey! It's Hope!

[@deatho0ne587]

XIII being 13 is making me feel old. To be fair I can not remember their voices, but know I have liked their voices in other things.

[@jaypro6269]

Surprised it wasn't mentioned that Ali Hillis even looks like Lightning. That was a hot topic during the games initial release.

[@kseromore]

voice acting in FF both started and peaked with STAY AWAY FROM THE SUMMONER

[@marxistharpy]

Great video! Would love to hear more about the voice cast of other FF/Square Enix games

[@ZorroLocoStudios]

I loved the voice work in XIII, great video guys! Happy to see all the actors continuing their success, it's very well deserved.

[@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu]

Ff13 feels like the last traditional final fantasy. Which is kinda sad. Feels like the back lash drastically altered the course of the franchise.

[@skylaninaction]

I learned so many awesome details watching this!!! Hope was phineas??? Vannile's actor is as wholesome as her character? Fang in seed destiny? Jill also played Lulu? 10/10 video

[@dogoku]

You forgot to mention that Laura Bailey won a freaking BAFTA for her role in The Last of Us 2. Also another important role is Jaina Proudmoore from Warcraft for the last decade or so.

[@GtheMVP]

Ali Hillis is my fav, love her voice, especially as Liara.

[@engarland]

What’s also interesting is that some of the voices of the npc’s you hear in both XIII and XIII-2 are the same that voices Naruto.

[@extra4542]

They really need to release a remaster collection

[@CheesyChez421]

Love to see one of these for 10 and 10-2.

[@FinalFantasyUnion]

Hey Cheezy, thanks for the comment! You're in luck, as we covered Final Fantasy X many years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHqZZoOQjMpopbM

[@CheesyChez421]

@@FinalFantasyUnion I had just did a search for it after I commented and found it. Lol thanks tho.

[@masterseal0418]

I find it hilarious that Vincent Martella, the voice actor to Phineas played Hope. What's next? Thomas Sangster(he played Newt in the Maze Runner films), the guy who voiced Ferb to be in Final Fantasy XVI as an NPC or main character?

[@Syklida]

ffxiii was so under appreciated

[@Duckman8213]

I’m playing it right now on my PS3 after binging through FF1-10, 10-2, 12, 7 Remake/Rebirth, Crisis Core and 16 all since last June. I’m really like FF13 right now. I honestly don’t understand all the hate. I’ve also been getting the platinum trophy on everyone of these games. I just have to finish FF13 with the platinum then do its sequels and then finally FF15.

[@mryoshiyoshi451]

Loved all the XIII games (the best in the series) and the voices were phenomenal! It’s too bad that Troy Baker sold out to NFTs…

[@aiox82]

I really like this video. Very unique and nicely different. I'd love it if you do more. One suggestion is to include samples of their voice acting. I kept wanting to hear examples.

[@MoonMagicks]

Reno Wilson is amazing! I recognized him from Good Girls where he has an amazing role.

[@yoloalchemist]

I know some people have some misgivings about Troy, but I for one would really like it if SE would cast him as Dyne in FFVII Rebirth. Troy himself already confessed admiration of John Bentley during his (and Nolan North’s) playthrough of The Last of Us back on Retro Replay (now Couch Soup), so I think their performances would be great together.

[@LiminalMan777]

I had no idea this game had such a prolific VA cast. I recognized pretty much the entire cast from other projects but never would’ve known

[@emmychansuper]

How about the Japanese voiceactors? Are you going to them as well?

[@FalseFaceAce]

Please do more! I’m meeting James Arnold Taylor next month at C2E2 and I would love to see a FFX video!

[@frederickbingley6699]

Dude! Clouds old and new voice actors are so good. Perfect for him.

[@Forever_Zero]

People can criticize how the characters are written but there's no denying the performances are really good, and the same stays true for the rest of the mainline FF games

[@MrRemmington]

Laura Bailey actually a did a very good job with the South African accent as Nadine Ross in Uncharted, an accent many have tried and failed at.

[@eliotwildermann]

So than are we gonna expect this kind of video for multiple entries in the final fantasy series

[@Forriedude]

I got to meet Mr Baker. Fantastic guy, had him sign my FF13 cover.

I've been meaning to wonder: What Happened to Ali Hillis, Troy Baker, Vincent Martella, Laura Bailey, Jessica DiCicco, Liam O'Brian, Georgia Van Cuylenburg, Rachel Robinson, Paula Tiso, Jon Curry and Erik Davies? I hope they're all doing Fine and Well. Hope their Lives are all Super Incredible since *Final Fantasy XIII* franchise.

[@enniad]

I love James Arnold Taylor as Tidus. Sad he gets so much mockery for the awkward laugh scene

[@dartz005]

The problem is so many people take that scene out of context. They just use as an "example of bad voice acting" without clarifying that it was an intentional moment in a great game.

[@Moveset-Mastery]

Loved Snow´s Voice, even thou some people didn´t like the character, it was my favorite on ff13
