[@mariakurtidis]

grimmSOL yea it didn't really hit me as emotional. I didn't cry. I wasn't even sad TBH. I didn't feel like I knew the characters to really care about what was happening to them. There was almost no development in this story. And barely any meaty cutscenes with dialogue. I cried when I played 10. I cried when I played 8 and 9. This game did nothing for me.

[@Dragondollx]

grimmSOL yesss I love the game so much and it pisses me off how many people r talking shit about it when I guarantee they haven't even played it

[@stevenanderson7620]

Um... Is this your guys' first plot driven game lol?This is one of the LEAST emotional games I've ever played. By all means, the game is great. But the story got too... Taxing in the latter half. I liked the story up until chapter 9, when the pacing went too fast for me. And some characters I felt truly were ignored. Hopefully SE releases some patches with more story, because some things really needed more time to blossom. Story wise at least. I don't have too many complaints about the gameplay. But anyway. You guys, trust me, there are games WAY more emotional than this, at least IMO. Wait for Persona 5 guys, and play it. Or even play earlier games in the FF series. Like FFX, VI, or VII. Those games apparently have more emotional impact. (I haven't beaten VI or VII yet, but they really do have interesting storylines.) also, try watching Clannad and Clannad After Story, and/or Kanon. They are anime series known for being pure tearjerkers. As to Final Fantasy XV, great game... Depressing, unfulfilling story. Great potential, saddening payout. In my opinion. You can all enjoy the story by all means, and I apologize for the really long wall of text, but look at this as a gateway to video game storytelling.

[@charliethomas4261]

I'm here for Ardyn. His voice and lines are just perfect

[@adzfh]

Well, the VAs have done amazing job bringing this game to life. About the Dub vs Sub thing: For me, the rule of thumb of whether dubs or subs are better is to look at the context which the series is laid upon. For example, Resident Evil and Metal Gear series. Since most of the settings are Western, it is more fitting (for me at least) to hear them speaking English rather than Japanese. As one article has it: "It doesn't help either side that the acting styles for Japanese and English voice acting come from completely different sources. Japanese voice acting traces its roots directly to Kabuki, where dialogue and delivery are extremely stylized to the point that non-connoisseurs would consider it overacting. English voice-acting on the other hand traces its roots to Radio, where performance (though it could be overacted) was never uniformly stylized and delivery tended toward the more natural." In FF XV's context, the game's various outskirts locale setting (which, the way I see it, resembles European and American locales rather than Japanese) would sound better for the dub (which the crew featured here have done great job). I'm not downgrading the original Japanese voice since it's how originally voiced (and better suited for Japanese audience). Again, the whole language lollapalooza depends more on where the product will be marketed to make it more reachable rather than obeying the purists. It's like how they brought 24 into Japan and had RIkiya Koyama dubbed Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer.

[@austinkersey2445]

Joseph 00 Truth is that Dubbing Anime doesn't pay well and those that aren't unionized don't get the well known, Triple A Voice Actors. But the stigma about dubs and most complaints aren't relevant anymore. There are a large amount of good Anime Dub Actors, Ian Sinclair, Crispin Freeman, Steve Blum, Colleen Clinkenbeard(I think that's how it's spelled), Johnny Yong Bosch, and Vic Mignogna just to name a few.

Will Kingsglaive come to European cinemas?

[@darthmilexena486]

only in some cities but at the 30.9 it will be released as blu-ray

[@AJGress]

Ah, just wanted to know. Danke schön!

[@darthmilexena486]

no problem^^

[@generalporkins69]

"I play king Regis, I have a total of 2 minutes of screen time. It was truly a memorable experience but I will never be Sean Bean"

[@Ragnarok182]

Behemoth He had more than that in Kingsglaive, it's all good.

[@LisaMcCrissican]

He should have been given the Kingsglaive role. Sean Bean did well, but there’s a genuine weight and sincerity to Pirri’s voice that would have fit more.

[@jacklintan3015]

got goosebump just watching this video!!!! woooo!!! can't wait for the new adventure of Final Fantasy XV 😍

[@Pako9713]

me too xD

[@jasoncosmic1996]

[@hv260]

[@drikkel312]

Who didnt got goosebumps?

[@gamernomad3]

me....................................................... 1080p? XD

[@FattyCatty_]

I just wanna hear Adam Croadsdell say ' THATS it I've come up with a new recipe!'

[@eskimoof4804]

Dude King Regis’ voice actor is so deep I can feel the vibrations through the keyboard

[@ProPinkist]

Wow, I haven't really been paying attention lately to FFXV (I don't know what I was thinking, I know), but _damn_ the voice actors sound INCREDIBLE. I never really hated Noctis' original voice, I was kind of on the fence about it...... but now he sounds A+++. The last emotional scene with him; wow, I got _chills._ Seriously bravo to everyone involved; Matthew Mercer and Robbie Daymond are literally the only people in this cast I know, but that's not a bad thing by any means. It's amazing and refreshing to get new people, who are _good_ at that. I know a lot of people in the past rolled their eyes at the whole "bros being bros on a road trip" thing, but honestly I'm a huge sucker for this trope, no shame whatsoever, and I think I will absolutely love the story Final Fantasy XV has to tell from the way the voice actors talk about it (and how well they sound in their roles). :')

[@crystarium_odin5766]

wow, that girl is beautifull in game and in real life :D

[@Aykun_]

Luna is Luna in game , not Amy.

[@bluebloo5574]

It is impossible to find in real life .

[@idek5]

+Battou Han im pretty sure they mean luna is pretty along with her voice actress

[@Aykun_]

goodgalbadgal Ik Ik.Its just that sentence...As if Luna was based of her voice actress.

[@crystarium_odin5766]

Battou Han my apologize, i'm just tired putting ''sorry for bad English'' in every comment. =]

[@danfrancisjr]

All voice actors were great, but Ignis knocked out of the park. One sentence spoken by the guy and you know exactly the type of person his character is

[@AraAra-pw7tl]

That's it!

[@silentsylo9053]

Silent Protagonist Whats it

[@AraAra-pw7tl]

+Helix Berry I've come up with a new recipe!

[@silentsylo9053]

Silent Protagonist Heh, I can taste test for you

[@TheEvilRayquaza]

Cant wait to try it!

[@brittanyr613]

Pot Of Greed What do you do?!?!? I must know so I can tell Pharoh Atem

[@halo3boy1]

My name is Matthew Mercer and I play the role of Troy Baker

[@Daydreamer_394]

I love seeing Darin geek over his character Ardyn.

[@chillhub2939]

Noct's voice actor is just perfect.

[@I_am_Felii]

4:30 MATT OH MY FUCKING GOD HOW DID I NOT NOTICE!!!! DAAAAMN I LOVE THIS HUY SOOOO MUCH HE'S LITERALLY IN EVERY GAME THAT I LOVE AS IF HE'S STALKIN ME OR SOMETHING OMG!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!! FUCK YESSSSS!!!

[@nothingherezbz]

Feli what is another game

[@I_am_Felii]

bOuRne he played Chrom in Fire Emblem Awakening for example. Just google him.

[@noogwayyy]

bOuRne and he also did mccree in overwatch

[@liz_violet]

hes also mikisugi in kill la kill, ryoma in fire emblem fates, and...is kanji an persona 4/abt to be yusuke in persona 5.

[@libardomm.trasimaco]

He is Mitsuru Kuroiwa on Judgement. Soo good

[@ryanmonster5581]

Chris Parson's Gladio voice to his real voice gave me whiplash

[@codysantana5619]

Luna is a strong independent woman who doesn't need no man

[@GeraltORivia]

Cody Santana And she's black.

[@Fliksy]

Cody Santana yeah sureee

[@yozobruh]

bullshit.

[@Kraglin09]

That's literally what I said lol.

[@magic4412]

LMAO hahaha

[@subzero5439]

The best game ever,no regret buying this,this game is perfect.....

[@subzero5439]

justin that gameplay is awesome,and noctis haircut is very cool if you are like anime

[@LRio27]

Sub Zero if you are like anime indeed friend.. if you are like anime indeed

[@GeraltORivia]

Sub hm.......... HMM.................

[@TraumaCenter13]

Sub Zero This is far from perfect especially since the last second half of the game was poorly done from storytelling and pacing.

[@maddy2494]

TraumaCenter13 there my friend you are wrong. No game is perfect I agree. Nothing is and nothing will be. But compared to many games this game is as close as perfect as you can get. This game is rated high on a pedestal and I would never take it down. I absolutely love the graphics and the story is amazing. The combat isn't too difficult but when it should be, it surely is. This game is perfect without a doubt and I think that it can't get any better

[@opsiconan226]

" I want to ride my Chocobo all day" lol

[@jacobteague635]

Darin de Paul!!! SOOO GOOD

[@cannibalbananas]

I can listen to Ardyn's and Ignis's voice all day ❤️

[@dylixcroft8893]

THAT'S IT!! I've come up with a new RECIPAH!!

[@MSharif06]

I love how each of the main characters in this game has a deep and emotional background behind their backs, that they have overcomed and adapted through. They are really more than just 'side characters' and more of main individuals. the writing is perfect, and I never regretted purchasing this game.

[@fruitmachinekid]

These guys done such a great job with the english voice over, I just cant get over it. Me crey.

[@KazuhaEien]

I remember meeting Ray Chase last year, at a convention... I had so much fun. It feels so weird that day is going to be a year old, because was one of my favorite days of 2019.

[@ChengHooSew]

Ray Chase is really good at playing Noctis, especially the final line, 'you guys are the best' it touched my heart even when it's just a dark screen

[@joshuamansfield4866]

I love how the voice actors change the tone in their voices.

[@TheSnorlax7]

Wow... Mathew Mercer. Didn't see that one coming. I am pleasantly surprised!

[@Rainlight77]

Now that's how to give a character soul everyone. I mean look at Darin De Paul, he's litteraly embodying Ardyn. Even though everyone did a good job on the cast though, but Darin is something special.

[@urmanascrewed]

MATTHEW MERCER!!!!! YES!

[@urmanascrewed]

***** He's great!

[@teamhebi13]

at least its not troy baker lol

[@urmanascrewed]

teamhebi13 I like Troy Baker too, though, but there has been some Troy Baker over saturation recently.

[@muslimmetalman]

Troy Baker became majorly famous not for dubbing J-games, but for massively popular Western games. It's true that Final Fantasy XIII's dub "put him on the big map"...but also, the thing is: Square Enix doesnt reuse VA's in leads. They have the money to afford great actors *outside* small "dubbing circles". ...However I don doubt that it wouldnt be strange for Troy to get a small part in this game.

[@Vahnchelsea]

ITS HIGH NOOOOOOOONNN

[@Reira_Newgate]

I love seeing all the Ignis comments. Honestly, the main reason I clicked on this video was to see who's the genius behind our beloved recipe creator.

[@cynALMIGHTY]

I actually prefer the English voices lol. Especially for noctis, his Japanese voice is too boring and bland. I mean He already looks kinda Emo ahaha. His English voice gives him personality.

[@QueenRG3550]

Cynva agree. kinda weird too

[@Matrlipa]

I agree.. He sorta sounds morbid but I know why though... I would be too if I lost people I loved

[@SethJV]

French voices are the best, by far.

[@animeguy7192]

Usualy its the Japanese voice actor that gives the personality and the english being bland. from what I always hear from people.

[@xFirebird925x]

Agreed! I'm not a Japanese speaker by any means, but I found the amount of grunts put in a bit too extensive.

[@LET4M4RU]

2:35 Let's take a moment to say that this is the voice of Junkrat here.

[@tomasgarcia7499]

It’s almost 5 years later, but gahhh I love this game so much. It’s so nice to see that the voice actors enjoyed the experience so much 😭 Also, I can’t believe Matt Mercer voices Cor…I never would’ve guessed him!!

[@abitosh6984]

Wow these voice actors really fit their in game counterparts pretty well.. kinda cool to see that lol

[@obi1kenobyebye965]

Watching this after finishing the game just makes me incredibly emotional

[@Ligelm]

Never would have thought that Neuvillette's VA is actually also VA for Noctis! And Uzui as well!

[@cherryblossom_yuki]

i literally thought for a second that mathew mercer was neuvillette xD

[@Zeemas]

The reason why Darin de Paul did incredibly well is not just because he sounded and performed great in his role, but he also was passionate and enthusiastic on the character and story which is a perfect combo.

[@cococunt7705]

Darin De Paul is an absolute *blessing.*

[@kylie9944]

Ray Chase and Darin De Paul in particular are such amazing voice actors. Throughout the whole game I was just in awe at how well they sold their scenes.

[@rokhayadiouf7560]

I like Lunafreya. She is the best female character ever.

[@Azraeliciousdelicious]

finally! someone who shares the same opinion as me! well not the best in all of the games but for this FF entry she definitely is.

[@MemoriesLP]

why? I know she looks amazing, but we dont know thaaaat much about her

[@Azraeliciousdelicious]

i've watched kingsglaive so i kinda know some things about her.

[@MemoriesLP]

+狼黒 ohhh yeah, the movie!! I didnt see it yet! :)

[@ShoegazeSage]

We have minimal information about her and you're already saying this?

[@PierLuc111]

Adam , you got one hell of a badass voice! and the man playing Ardyn , damn he seems to love voicing him.

[@stephaniehavoksen1761]

The voice acting was really REALLY good for a final fantasy game. I loved how natural the dialogue and character interactions were. It really saved the game for me :)

[@JadendayZero]

Core: "It's HIGH NO- UH I mean....wrong game." LMAO

[@darenh355]

it's high noon somewhere in the world

[@CyclonexxxIce]

The part with Luna and the Leviathan was completely bonkers. One of the sickest cutscenes I've ever witnessed.

[@ReelRai]

Who else gets goosebumps every time you hear the Somnus violin?

[@JohnGlow2]

Gladio's voice is sick as fuck

[@irinaqarqoor1004]

I was desperate to see them... Those voices become very dear and beloved during game play. Thank you so much for such a sweet time

[@AKABoondock19]

Man....I am really feeling like this is going to be the best story in final fantasy history.

[@nicke20686]

same!

[@MemoriesLP]

yep!!!

[@AKABoondock19]

OkamI yah i was wrong.....it was incomplete as hell.....still liked the game tho

[@Chris-ih4hj]

AKABoondock19 tbh, it has a great story but it was short and very pushed it would make sense for the story of eos but as a final fantasy game it's way too short
