It's the fact that George Newbern can speak so calmly and with a subdued tone yet bring a hidden rage and murderous intent with that same voice. It's like hearing the screams of a psychopathic killer charging towards you, yet all he does is whisper.

[@appl3s0ft]

I could totally see something like this happening during casting: "Alright guys, let's get the cast back together for the remake!" "Uh yea, about that...who was it that played Sephiroth again? The name has escaped me.." "You know, I'm not sure either. Hmm..Oh! I do know that he's also played Superman on TV!" "Oh that guy! Tyler Hoechlin!" "Yea yea him!" Meanwhile, George Newburn sits at home wondering why he hasn't gotten a call from Square Enix.

[@robinanwaldt]

Dude, I literally thought the same thing! But to be honest, of all the Superman actors besides Newbern, I think Henry Cavill would be the only one able to come remotely close to Newbern’s tone. Tyler Hoechlin is just missing this little bit of bass-y raspiness.

[@appl3s0ft]

Robin Anwaldt oh definitely! I respect Tyler as an actor and how he got the opportunity to voice such an iconic character. But knowing his natural voice, I’m not too surprised that he wouldn’t be able to bring the bass in the voice without making it sound whispery. Henry Cavill on the other hand? Oh yeah, his voice I think is perfect for Seph. After all, he does play another gray haired swordsman ;)

[@tadashihatsudai]

So....before anyone says George is a bit monotone, keep in mind that the Japanese performance was like that too. In fact George was told not to inflect too much and he said this at SacAnime during the Final Fantasy panel which I went to this year. And when it comes to Morikawa playing Sephiroth, he talks a bit slower and deliberately compared to his other roles where he’s playing imposing, heel-face-turn characters. I’ve been looking into tons of Morikawa drama CDs for the past few years and I noticed this difference. Although I’ve found CDs where he does sound more like Sephiroth, most of them have him sound “lighter”, asides the Diabolik Lovers series. Edit: The panel recording is FINALLY up. I also time stamped it to where he says he was told be the monotone: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJeppWCKYpagnbM

[@crfx8408]

初台駅タダシ I actually loved how monotone he sounds, it adds to his character in terms of how powerful he is. He doesn’t need to be phased by these ants that try to take him down! He was so scary in advent children tbh

[@davidrich27]

Well that’s a shame they gave him that direction imo. His voice has a nice timbre, but I’m really not a fan of his delivery of the lines. The remake voice sounds like he’s relishing his power.

Because Square wanted "big name actors" (and by "big name" I of course mean actors from the CW channel) for FF7R main cast so they can make big money. They basically pulled a Kojima with David Hayter and Snake. It's also the same reason why Disney, DreamWorks, and other major animation studios cast Hollywood actors in their movies so they'll sell more tickets, because let's face it, no parents are gonna take their whiny little crotch-spawns to go see the new Toy Story if the main cast consist of a bunch of (to them) nobody voice actors with years of experience in their craft like John DiMaggio or Jim Cummings, but Tom Hanks and Tim Allen on the other hand are definitely big name stars they've heard of and will definitely buy a ticket just for them.

When I first heard his voice in Crisis Core, I swear the man immediately sent tingling ice-cold shivers down my spine! Then I saw the Advent Children scene with Sephiroth in it and OH MY LORD...those shivers increased tenfold, like I was shivering like crazy, but in a good kind of way. George Newbern has this dark, dangerous, serious yet calm tone when he voices his character and you can tell that he enjoys doing voicework for Sephiroth. Tyler Hoechlin can't even compare to the legendary George Newbern. Believe me, I've seen Tyler's performance in FF7 Remake and George Newbern's performance in both Crisis Core and Advent Children just blows his right out of the water. I'm happy to say that I'm glad we actually HAVE a character like Sephiroth who's A LOT more dangerous and serious unlike the characters we have now. We've been needing someone like him in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for a long time now and I'm glad that he's in the game.

They really should have casted George Newbern in Remake though. Its not that Tyler Hoechlin is bad. But George Newbern IS the voice of Sephiroth. There was just no valid reason to replace him, let alone a dumb decision. When it comes to weird Japanese customs, I do like the one where they will never replace a voice actor (though making the character mute if the actor dies goes too far too for me) But it just shows respect for the buildup of the character over the years, it is THEIR VOICE now, not something you should change on a whim. The only reason they can generally fix this atm is by going "its not the real Sephiroth, and bringing in George Newbern for the actual Sephiroth once he appears. Though considering they also recast Zack and Cloud It won't be the case obviously... Cloud's new voice is good, but man do I hate Zack's voice, it does not fit him at all. They should really have brought back Rick Gomez.
