Ben is the coolest guest that's ever been on PSA

[@mikedelgrande5296]

Yeah, I totally agree. He’s great! He always has me dying laughing and super hyped when he does reviews.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

@@Stuffthatsfunny1 Wheeling and stealing the show.

[@jpjordan90]

Blasphemy

[@Davewonder31]

Right?!

[@AndyLPlays]

Every time I see Ben in an interview he seems the nicest person. I hope we see more of him!

[@wood1066]

Really hope Ben wins the award for best voice performance this year or at least gets nominated. He does such a fantastic job in this game.

[@ChadGatling]

Ben was fun as heck. Bring him back and do fun stuff when hes free.

[@Deadzonex21]

When Rob said "good drinking there" i lost it and then Ben's reaction to it was the cherry on top 😂😂😂

[@bradyfan009]

56:50 The “Egad” absolutely had me dying 😂 Ben’s Campy Character needs its own game immediately. Game publishers and developers, please make it happen stat thx

[@leonvalentine3748]

Oh bully, let's go!

[@Ivotas]

1:06:12 is such a PlayStation Access moment right there. Ben is such a great dude. Thanks for having him join you guys. Fantastic stream as always.

[@Chishannicon]

This was such a fun stream, and it was so nice to see such a great rapport between Ben and Rob/Rosie. I love finding out that voice actors in games are huge gamers themselves.

[@EdwardENigma-ry1io]

I would watch Ben play the game and give tips and behind the scenes treats the whole game !!😂

[@nerdmommy7114]

So cool that Ben is a full-on FF and Playstation Fan!

[@StabbyRocketJoe]

One of the best streams in Access. Ben is delightful! ❤ That Best Performance in the Game Awards is in the bag.

[@attabui]

Can we get a Clive Commentary Mode dlc? I’d love to hear Ben’s comments about every moment

[@mikiodj]

I feel like "BEN STAAAARRRR", to quote Ash, could be part of the Access team. He looks so at home with everybody and the chat.

[@dreamer6737]

FF16 is 10/10 I love it so much. I hope it receives lots of awards!

[@SomethingVeryWitty]

This was genuinely fantastic. Ben seems like a genuinely nice guy which has made ff16 that bit better for me too. This extra bit of insight into the game and Ben joking made what are usually great streams even better. Well done everyone

[@ShindoWonderland]

Addition, it´s totally amazing, that Ben voices the lines talked in the stream in his head at the same time. His facial expressions are very telling. Just immaculate. Thanks so much!

[@kyleward1834]

Pleasure it was to see ben on the stream. What a charming individual.

[@codydoxey2497]

Ben having 12 as his top 3 is so cool to me as someone who finds 12 as his fav and finding 16 to be quickly being one of my favs too.

[@JayNotion]

Rob's face when Ben said he fought to get him in the game 😂😂 also, Ben is from my home town of Bristol!! Representing the West Country my Babs 😅 the game is AWESOME, halfway through and loving it

[@scdef.6009]

It's hard to tell who out of this trio is having the most fun during this stream! Thank you always for your great videos of all sorts!

[@acme3drevit]

i'm glad they let you pet Torgal but i wish they would also let you pet a chocobo, unless i just haven't gotten to where you can. also i'm delighted Ben was on my two favorite channels, Playstation Access and he was on Kinda Funny last week.

[@aprilpayne2312]

You can find your chocobo through a quest

[@esteban280889]

VOD SQUAD: Its amazing that Ben is such a fan of the channel, he geniunely was happy to be there which always makes interviews way more fun. What a cool guy. Ive never been big on Final Fantasy but this I think I will have to pick up.

[@LAnimeMaster]

What a great birthday it's been to have a game from one of my favorites series drop today. And it's so good!

[@picklerickaussiegaming]

VOD Squad. Wow, Ben is an amazing guy, thank you so much for being there! Would it pleeeeease be possible for him to be a recurring guest? I mean you guys are absolutely amazing, you ARE PS Access, but it would be lovely to have some friendly faces reappearing every now and again. In other words... MORE BEN PLEASE! 😆

[@crashwithkirby6708]

Just popped in to give a like for the Clivestream pun 👍

[@tomastomasi975]

Hi @PlayStation Access This was a fantastic stream. You guys were on ball with everything. The game was excellent. Rob and Rosie were brilliant hosts, and Ben Starr was the best guest I have seen on YT in forever. I had a hilariously good time.

[@rossnar5651]

#Podsquad Ben is an amazing guest, and Clive is a fantastic character. Been plowing through Final Fantasy 16 and the game has just opened up for me after the second time skip. Can't wait to explore more of Valisthea.

[@lisabibby3222]

I’ve never played a Final Fantasy game before! But I am tempted now! This looks incredible!! And Ben is a fantastic guest! Definitely a favourite! ❤

[@MasaKillzAll]

Really love the ff8 shout-outs finally some respect

[@DaveSimonH]

1:06:00 Had to come back and place a timestamp bookmark for myself. Hope they have Ben on the channel again, whether it be for DLC promo or just a random visit.

[@danlaw1991]

Such a brilliant stream. Ben is such an amazing guest. I love how he fits right in and all the insights & tidbits that he shared about the game. Happy FFXVI launch day all. Back to the game I go.

[@donnybcool2443]

If Ben doesn't get best performance at the game awards I will riot. His performance in this game was so moving.

[@danielmunroe1423]

What an absolute legend ben is. Im a lifelong ff fan and have started playing 16 and its incredible.

[@nairilee]

I missed the live because I was busy playing FF16! I'm so happy someone else likes Blitzball more than Triple Triad, and I love the shoutout for 12. It's always so overlooked! Loving the game so far, it's fantastic. As for the pronunciation thing, I will never pronounce Tidus as Teedus, ew. I also want to say that I adore Clive already. He tugs at my heartstrings so much!

[@jodyodell6159]

Have a celebrity guest and he asked for Rob to die one time .... Rob says whatever i aint dying

[@caffeinatedgradstudent0311]

#VODSquad Ben seems like the nicest and the coolest person ever. Apart from 13, all the Final Fantasy I've played to this point, I play in Japanese, but the cast of XVI has done such an amazing job that I just had to play it in XVI. I've spent 10 hours or so in the game and enjoyed every single second. Thank you ben and all the people involved in the game for delivering this masterpiece and congratulations! Definitely my Game of The Year

[@HDSnoopy]

#VODSquad Wonderful stream! What a great way to kick off launch day. The three of you really seemed to genuinely hit it off and were having fun.

[@CDCaptainFalcon]

Cid is the coldest FF character ever. He roasts a giant lizard with lightning then immediately whips out a cigar. I can’t.

[@AzimSF]

38:27 is the funniest thing a voice actor would say

[@esteban280889]

Ben should come back and do a platimonday stream sometime then.... or can he be the new 5th member. He was so fun.

[@Geolions]

As an Australian, I reckon Ben's accent was definitely okay!

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Rob really loves to give Lucy Sobey a mention. He's got that Australove.

[@Rlyna93]

#VODSquad! Too scared to watch the livestream because I wanted to play it blind first. So here I am, watching it back, finally XD Loving it already, because I did watch the POD cast vid and that was wonderful!💙

[@eysan90]

Just finished this amazing game. The story is excellent

[@dominiquedegner5040]

getting it tomorrow so excited🎉

[@educationiskey3331]

The name of the music for this fight is called "No Risk, No Reward"

[@James-gj8rn]

I will watch this later because to be honest Rob, i'm a little busy being obsessed with the game right now (Excited to see Ben Starr on stream though)

[@JohnBradyIRL]

we need more Ben on PSA. well, maybe we just need more Ben in general across more things

[@Kiezzy]

This guys awesome, such a good guest and so forthcoming. Idea for a #podsquad question though, we've heard so much of people's boyfriend lists, what about girlfriend list? If its only one per franchise I'd love to see Rob toil over which mgs character to pick 😅

[@jalektor9670]

If Rob had a part in FF16 it should have been as loin cloth Rob

[@ainedunne412]

How’s the accessibility? Specifically text colours/size or button hold in place of rapid presses.

[@TehPwnographer]

Look, I’m straight as an arrow, but…

[@3row4wy23]

Not anymore 😎

[@Violinoknight]

Would have love to see Rob in FF. i wish it comes true for you one day.

[@lukeamparo6586]

After that “Egad” line I wanna see Ben voice Dudley in Street Fighter. A gentleman using Fisticuffs.

[@ZanZerejin]

I think it's great that we get a voice actor that loves the series. Also what were your blitzball players? Mine were Tidus Wakka Nav Guado Ropp Naida Miyu

[@OTKJunior]

#vodsquad #podsquad (podsquaaaaaad) I thoroughly enjoyed this stream, and the exceptionally charming and dangerously handsome Ben. Clear that he's both a serious gamer and a big fan of the channel. You should absolutely get him back.

[@reizak8966]

I would not be able to play with Ben's commentary, I'd be laughing too hard. XD

[@For_PetesSake]

8 is the best FF and having Ben saying the same is amazing

[@educationiskey3331]

Midnight Raven class/job is Ninja. You can see that he using ninjetsu tech. If anyone has played ffxi, just compard Midnight Ravens techs to ffxi ninja class/job. I thought this was a nice homage to ffxi and/or nod to ninja class/job.

[@jeffreydean5112]

Honestly, I love FF13. Easily my top 3 with FF9 and FF7

[@thunderdragon8341]

i finally beat this game working on dlc and new game plus

[@mrevol8454]

Was waiting for Ben to say Zelda or Pokemon for his favorite games 😂

[@kraigos4255]

#VODSquad #PODSqaud Does anyone know what video the guys play Chocobo Hot and Cold on?

[@fall-neckthetallneck2977]

You should've asked Ben if he ever faked taking a drink and let's out a massive belch. 😂😂😂 I would totally do that as a joke if I was a voice actor.

[@bagmunro]

#PodSquad Uhh Ben Starr going straight on the real life boyfriend list. What a guy.

[@mib3165]

Did Ben come to the office two separate days?

[@benL95]

Can Rosie reads the comments in funny voices too? #vodsquad

[@theanimaster]

OMG this is the craziest best stream EVER!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@danielparra3274]

FINAL FANTASY 13 MENTIONED❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chazdrain1048]

What plat did Ben get before he mentioned RE4 plat? I couldn’t hear it clearly

[@Tidus24kmc]

Stayed up til 3am .. dying

[@DerGeek]

#vodsquad How excited is Rob for the Lord of the Rings: Magic the Gathering set?

[@LittleTinyFish520]

#vodsquad Rob look a little jealous that Ben did the birthday thing, or is that just me?

[@handleishandlebar]

I love you rob!!!!

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

FFX Blitzball is so fun. I wish FFX-2 version was better, but it isn't.

[@ShindoWonderland]

I´ve murdered my first playthrough within 50 hrs.... Yes sleep was virtually none existent. And it´s gigantic. Now new game plus on final fantasy difficulty awaits me. The amount of easter eggs. fan appreciation, and attention to detail to make those moments feel organically is thanks to Naoki Yoshida. As a 10+ years final fantasy xiv player I beam with glee with every little connection. I am so happy for new game plus now. Can´t wait what to find there.

[@marcuscarana9240]

I am so disappointed at how little performances Ben has when compared to other voice actors. This man has a terrific voice and a puts a lot of emotion and effort in his voice acting performances. He should do more main leads.

[@ChadGatling]

Vod Squad: Oh no I missed the stream by an hour. That means that Rosie already has the platinum.

[@MGP2210]

09:41 Looks like bearded dragon. 🙂

[@camrnjurena]

I bet Clive has been added to a lot of Boyfriend Lists.

[@OtakuNerd94]

So Ben is a real gamer, eh?

[@sh11death]

It doesn't feel like a VA is here as a guest, rather it feels like an access cast member got a VO role and is just talking about it.

[@tzovlask]

I would bait Ben to hit me so I could be Starr struck!

[@RoryStarr]

This has to be one of the only times when the voice actor is more handsome than the character.

[@daisyblonde87]

Are you a relation perhaps to Ben (going by your surname)? 😊

[@RoryStarr]

@@daisyblonde87 I am not, no.

[@Davewonder31]

Imagine if Cids name was Clive when that guy said “who the ‘ell are you?” And he said his name like that 52:59😂😂

[@jefferyhamilton7207]

controversial opinion i like blitzball better than triple triad. triple triad ranks 3rd in my fave ff minigames blitzball #1 first ff9's tetra whatever #2 then triple triad

[@samhughes4278]

I already complete ff16 and had my copy

[@amyperrin6347]

Hi there was raplh Ineson in the bill

[@Max-my6rk]

Ben is husband

[@jaybee4288]

I wish the rob guy would shut up and let the guests speak. Love Rosie though.

[@Jambobist]

Rob could have played a goblin, repurposed his famous Gollum impression!
