Why is Yuyuhase's Japanese Voice SO DEEP

[@andruism7]

i feel like they didn't tell him what his character looked like...

[@whysnana]

LOL

[@goblined]

even better, what if he created it? If you had the chance as a VA, wouldn't you?

[@rinnnnnnnnnnrinRinOnishi]

Lmao the va probs wanted to be the first lala with a deep voice

[@danielhewitt4968]

Then again, in game he is 45 years old

[@Dharengo]

What's this weird preconception that short people can't have deep voices?

[@taruthemenace]

When you're a minor villain and only get one voiced line you really want to nail it; make it stick with people.

[@thejinks-lx4qf]

Underrated comment

[@paineater7359]

he made it stick alright

[@onadaTotihotiH]

I honestly wouldn't put it past the little bastard

[@tarael86]

Its like some kind of plot twist. You meet Yuyuhase several times before this and he never speaks, not even during voiced cutscenes. Then this happens as its revealed he's evil.

[@TheFoxYoukai]

He speaks plenty, just not voiced.

[@MagnyusG]

there's plenty of text dialogue. he comes off as a prick that was only in it for the money, in fact several times when you talk to him he gives off that vibe.

[@shepherd448]

He has that true Monetarist vibe which I hated from the moment I saw him first lol #RoyalistsForLife

[@Nehfarius]

@@shepherd448 I was actually disappointed he was a villain. So much for that spiel about 'investing in the future' when we recruited him.

[@GoIdenbaum]

Funny thing is he's actually a 1.0 character. He was just an aetheryte guard in Ul'dah

[@v.denizunan9192]

As serious as the scene was, I remember laughing like a maniac when I first heard his voice.

Japanese Lalas have the most inconsistent voices and I love it

[@UltimatBlitz]

Honestly, a company member had a similarly deep voiced lalafell. When I finally heard the voice outside of the sounds of battle I just froze in confusion.

[@CeeHoff]

"See this is why I don't talk much..."

[@やぶさおびなた]

That is one heck of a sexy voice, though

[@senxiv4232]

....I kinda know, right?

[@SogonD.Zunatsu]

Even knowing beforehand it was gonna be deep, I didn't expect it to be that DEEP. Actually made me laugh x)

[@gregorycollins2314]

Being a lalafell myself this makes me question my characters voice

[@BrianHuynhPersonal]

Your lala actually speaks but the frequency is so low its outside of huamn frequency

[@Omiron8214]

I have a friend like this. Like 5'4". Everyone thought he was a middle schooler visiting their high school when they first saw him. Rando: Oh, hi there bud! You coming to check out the school? Friend: *BRO...* Rando:😳 He sung base for his school choir. XD

[@raija2359]

@@Silphiroth You probably already figured this out, but just in case... 5'4" is 5 feet and 4 inches, which would be around 162-163 cm, give or take

[@rudomikazuki8301]

"So uhm, you will voice a villain that will betray the MC, state a coup with his power and plot a murder to frame the MC" "Wow, sound like he is really evil, must be really big bad guy, like Albert Wesker in RE series"

[@angerayne]

how can such a tiny being have such a deep voice THIS IS A JOKE RIGHT

[@LadCarmichael]

Yuyuhase is actually 40 years old, which explains his deep voice.

[@taruthemenace]

@@LadCarmichael Well no, lalafell don't age, he'll have had the same voice since he first emerged from the sacred popoto field. There are no adults, there are no children; we are lalafell, we are immutable.

[@DEGermany]

Here you have the exact same case, but the other way around.

[@eleternauta2640]

Plankton?

[@yraco1232]

​@@LadCarmichael Smaller creatures tend to make higher noises though. A mouse's squeak isn't going to get super deep just because it's old. Also, voices tend to change during puberty, particularly for men, but they don't keep getting continuously deeper. Yuyuhase's voice shouldn't be considerably different from any other male lala that's been through puberty (assuming lalas even have puberty).

[@monsunoguy19]

When people forget that Lalafell are tax paying adults with lives

[@Shinxune]

He stores it in those cheeks

Yuyuhase is officially the best FF14 Husbando

[@USMC49er]

Everyone knows that he became the singer for Ravana's theme

[@DeltaSilver88]

...Little people like that with voices that sound deep as the pit. Did he climb out of hell or something? It appears nobody knows who his Japanese voice actor is. Even the Japanese fandom is completely confused. XD (Sounds a little like Jouji Nakata, but that's too deep even for him...)

[@Hedoro_Latoureux]

@MiniPagan 101 No, Hiyama voices Pipin and is anything but low pitched.

[@AJCherenkov]

I would actually disagree, that sounds almost dead-on for his Kirei Kotomine voice.

[@TheZaketsu]

Stan himself

[@DeltaSilver88]

The only guesses in the Japanese fandom point to Jouji Nakata. Looks like my guess was right? 🤔

[@kyarimaresuki]

I can't believe it's Hiyama. I've heard him lower his voice, but only so much. That's Ocarina of Time Link, Genshiken's Madarame. Can this be backed up?

[@Adloquiem]

lmao i knew he had to be up to something cuz when we recruited him, he kept talking bout money. then they said someone is making deals with the syndicate.

[@lev_n]

Jesus man I though pipin's was balls deep till I saw someone said "yuyuhase's deeper"

[@Phatocatto]

this got me giggling way too hard in that situation during that looooooooong cutscene xD

[@laracroftvideos]

O_O Boy should get those vocals cords checked.

[@ClaudioProductionsX]

Yorokobe, Alphinaud.

[@sinclari1]

There is a condition where there is partial paralysis of the vocal cords, which make the voice a lot deeper than it 'should' be. It's common in Lala males. Head canon for DAYS

[@SorasShadow1]

Was talking about how weirdly not chibi sounding Nanamo's JP voice was to the FC, suddenly remembered this exact clip, & now we're all losing our collective shit, i'm so glad this video exists

[@ToffiiStreams]

my mans sounding like he's gonna eat a fuck off sized bowl of mapo tofu later whilst entertaining the king of heroes

[@ibeyan]

I actually like this. I mean...you're a lalafell doesn't mean you're a child, you just look......smaller. Try Tataru's Japanese voice...the voice acting is trying so hard to be a kid. Aren't they supposed to be grown adults? Or are they? Do lalafells actually grow into adults? Hmmmm.

[@xxazureangelxx8024]

For tataru I prefer her English VA's interpretation of her as it sounds more like a young woman rather than child.

[@Platypi007]

Within reason, though... I don't understand how a small larynx can make that deep a sound not how small resonance cavities can reverberate like that! Must be magic.

[@ZephWraen]

This was one of the big reasons I was glad they changed VAs for the English dub with Heavensward. Lalas stopped sounding annoying AF and actually had regular voices.

[@xxJing]

Tataru’s Japanese voice actress does a bunch of characters. She also does Ulnamo, the queen of Ul’dah, and she does that dog faerie thing from that level 80 dungeon. She’s Mariya Ise, one of her more notable roles outside FF14 is Killua in 2011 Hunter x Hunter.

[@danilooliveira6580]

both lolorito and Pipin have voices that sound very adult in japanese. but nothing close to THAT.

[@giofigueroa9021]

he may be about 2 feet tall, but you know he ain't lacking in the other department ;)

[@TenmaStupidity]

It's mostly because the Creators thought it was Hilarious.....The Lalafells are often seen as cute, adorable and childlike so the writers thought having a Lalafell with such a deep voice would have more impact and make the players laugh....

[@Geekezf]

Wich always bother me. Outside of Tataru and eventually Krile sometimes, lalafell are dispicable creatures, perverts and as far as possible from actual child.

[@WakoDoodle]

All lalafell males have a voice this deep; it is normal. It's actually rarer for lalafell males to have a higher voice. Because smoll, jellous of tall; voice begins to fall.... *Angry!*

[@Nehfarius]

Mad because small, basically. :p

[@optimaltt6070]

Yuyuhase: "Hoo? You're starting your own faction of do-gooders? Instead of sticking to the Scions, you're overreaching yourself?" Alphinaud: "I can't get stabbed in the back without getting ambitious!" Yuyuhase: "Hoohooo! Then be as ambitious as you like!" "ORAORAORAORAORAORA" "LALALALALALALALALALALALALALA-"
