Watch the official Final Fantasy VII Rebirth panel with the English voice cast | FULL PANEL

Square Enix brought the English voice actors of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to New York Comic Con ahead of the games release in early 2024! Hosted by Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Attack on Titan), the panel featured Cody Christian (Cloud Strife), John Eric Bentley (Barret Wallace), Britt Baron (Tifa Lockhart), Max Mittelman (Red XIII) and Suzie Yeung (Yuffie Kisaragi). The cast spoke about their experience with Final Fantasy, auditioning for the game, and YES, they DID react to Red XIII riding a Chocobo and Cloud cruising on a segway, which was all explained by very a special guest! 👀
The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth panel at the Main Stage is brought to you by DoorDash.

barrett yelling into his microphone and blowing out my eardrums when vincent reveals himself is such a barrett thing to do lmao

Cody understands Cloud's personality so well! I love him as Cloud Strife!

[@artsworstenemy8956]

I miss the old cloud but this one has proved himself worthy can’t wait to watch advent children right before I play this game

[@L2Sentinel]

Cloud is not an easy character to bring to life. I think it's easy to make him too moody and flat. Cody doesn't just nail it, he delivered my favorite vocal performance in the first game.

[@johntucci1907]

His insecurity playing the role in the first game (disc), to becoming more confident in himself for the second is so par for the course for Cloud. He's an absolutely fantastic pick. I think this being his first real voice acting role was super appropriate and really added to his performance as Cloud.

[@NerdGeekTalk]

Naw Steve Burton is the Goat Cloud Strife

[@maccamachine]

[@roastpork5437]

I want to say that as soon as I heard Cody's Cloud voice in FF7 Remake... I'm like, yeah, this is Cloud Strife. Perfection.

You mean grunting for no reason and delivering terrible dialog? I realize the dialog isn't his choice, I just wish it wasn't so corny. It breaks the immersion.

Best voice cast ever assembled in a single game. The bar for fans was SO high. Everyone had imagined voices stowed away in their heads for 22+ years, and somehow this cast has satisfied just about everyone. I had always thought in decades past that it would be impossible to pull it off. But they did it.

[@Amadeus_]

That banter between Yuffie and Vincent on the panel was brilliant. Amazing voice actors, this was a very entertaining panel. I cannot wait for Rebirth!

Cloud's voice is perfect. As a kid who didnt have internet or kingdom hearts or anything I wondered for so long what Cloud would soundlike. Steve Burton did great but it sounded kinda older. A little dry. This guy has a very similar voice as steve burton but it feels a lot younger and more like cloud idk. Im not sure how to say what im trying to say but Clouds voice has always been important to me and the fact that he felt comfortable for the next game makes me really happy because he deserves the love and to have fun.

So, the only ones missing here are Aerith's, Cid's and Cait Sith's VAs. I can't wait for when all of them will be together in one panel eventually. For now, this is still pretty rad. Also, Matt Mercer is stacking legendary role after role. Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil), Levi (AoT), Law (One Piece), Jotaro (Jojo), Yusuke (Persona 5), Goro Majima (Yakuza) and, now, Vincent Valentine. What an absolutely ridiculous career.

[@scopeh2006]

I probably put 500+ hours into the OG FFVII as a teen and when I read those text boxes with character dialogue in my head each character had their own voice... These actors have absolutely captured all of those voices, and that is testament not only to the writing of the original game which implied tone and mood through small blue boxes and clunky animations on chibi characters, but the skill of these actors for perfectly becoming those voices without ever consulting with a gamer about "how the characters should sound".

[@Postumeartist]

Right?! It’s funny to read everyone’s experience is about the same with voices.., except for cait. I love it, but that’s not what I expected. I remember I made my group of friends play through it with me when I was a teen and I did most of the voices. I can attest that seohirorh was exactly what we thought he sounded like.

Man cody really does get cloud. Cloud's trying to play a role. The stoic soldier and he's always trying to act like he thinks a badass soldier should. But really he is a caring vulnerable brave guy, and you really see his inner child poke through. He's a character that was forced to grow up so fast and yet as you go through the game you slowly start to see the real cloud and his much more like an innocent boy like he was in his childhood. And the hard cold hearted soldier facarde starts to melt away. And he becomes a true leader.
