Final Fantasy VII Remake: The Dream Voice Cast

An improbable yet intriguing ensemble.

A.J. says: "It's almost inevitable that the newly announced remake of Final Fantasy VII will include voice actors. Considering no one has any idea who they'll be, I thought I would share who I think would be perfect for the job. Of course, I'm being creative and pretending like the game will be completely recast even though the cast of Advent Children was superb. It's all in good fun. Anyway, my dream team may be unrealistic, but I'm looking forward to Square Enix doing a great job of giving new life to their characters in this long-awaited remake."

This was a pretty terrible list to be completely honest.

You know who they should get for the voice cast? The voice cast from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Most of the same cast voiced their characters in the Kingdom Hearts games as well, so I don't see SE changing any of the actors.

[swishersweets20031]

I was going to say the same thing just get the people from the movie.

[iamtehpwn]

I'm so used to the people who've voiced these characters in Advent Children/Crisis Core/Kingdom Hearts Series/Dissidia that I would actually be disappointed if they weren't the voice actors for the remake tbh. Through all those games I've kinda established that's what they sound like in English.

I can't believe the article says "It's almost inevitable that the newly announced remake of Final Fantasy VII will include voice actors. Considering no one has any idea who they'll be," I don't see why most voice actors from the movie won't be reprising their roles.

[GameSpawn]

As long as there are no conflicts or signing issues they will get most of the same voice actors as Advent Children. It is easier to resign people you've worked with before than to recast and sign all new people.

I just couldn't imagine Vincent as anyone else other than Steve Blum. His dark brooding voice was perfect.

[Shadow Flare]

I didn't like the English voice cast from advent children. I thought they were poor voice actors and didn't sound as I imagined the characters would.

However I thought the Japanese voice actors were spot on perfect. They all sounded as I imagined they would. Especially Cloud and Sephiroth. I hope very very much that they have the option to hear Japanese voices for the remake. I may even go to the extent of buying the Japanese version of the game if needs be

Dilly dally shilly shally!

*shivers*

I just want dual audio. Square is awful with their dub works.

[Adrian_v01]

Voice actors? But FF VII had no voice actors, it was text scrolling. They should stay true to the original, no voices! /s -.-

[deadpoolio316]

REMAKE.....R.E.M.A.K.E....Its already been said that they will be some changes to modernize certain things, don't know what to tell you buts its 2015 not 1997, anyone with half a brain knew they weren't going to just straight up keep it exactly the same without modernizing certain things...They may keep text in the game itself, but they aren't going to waste the money doing CGI cutscenes and leave them silent with text

[Adrian_v01]

You just went full retard. Never go full retard.

For future reference, a /s at the end of a post indicates sarcasm.

[DarkBlood]

Casting two face for cloud? Well ironic as that may be kind of makes twisted sense.

this is some dreamcast lol

[goldwyncq]

Terrible list.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

Is this supposed to be a joke list or something?. This is just aweful. There are great actors on this list for sure but none of them are right for the part. I do not know yet who I would want to play most of the parts but one thing I know for sure is I want Beau Billingslea to play Barret. Beau played Jet Black in Cowboy Bebop and Barret in the Final Fantasy Advent Children movie and I think he sounded perfect in my opinion.

[AtariFanboy]

Troy Baker for everyone

[KimikoGaming]

Troy Baker for all Male characters.

Laura Bailey for all Female characters.

We now have the same voice cast as at least half of localized JRPGs

[DevilOgreFish]

Cloud is 21, so he's supposed to sound like a 21 year old.

[Decastis]

Another big feature of the old FF7 was the incredibly epic and fun music it had!

Hope the remake will have a similar soundtrack!

[Shadow Flare]

People say the remake will be all dark and gritty, but its impossible to do that with the whole game. Some of the soundtrack is inherently silly and fun. Such as the cargo ship music when they all dress as Shinra soldiers. Or the honey bee Inn music. Electric de chocobo.

The game at its core doesn't take itself too seriously, so I really expect the remake to keep that feel

[Simco876]

IT BETTER! Those are some of the greatest moments in the game, it gave it a those small bright spots of humor and light. I wouldn't mind a remixed techno electric version of any of those songs though...just to do it.

But yes...keep it light when it's suppose to be light. This is just fanfare anyways.

[-Gespenst-]

There's so much silly stuff in the original that just wouldn't fit in a game with the tone of what we saw in the trailer (which is to say, a game with the tone of Advent Children) without coming across as surreal and weird. It's very, very hard to imagine them including a lot of stuff from the original, which is sad.

I think they may have shot themselves in the foot by draining the cartoony-ness out of the world of VII with the Compilation, but hopefully they can find a way that works to include everything.

[DOMination-]

I hope the tracks are the same but modernised. The original is a bit too midi-ish for todays standards

[Artemidorus]

No voice cast please, stick to the way it is.

[paddy95]

David Hayter as someone. Don't really care who, but he has the coolest voice in games!

[-Gespenst-]

They'll definitely use the established voice cast if they can get all of them to return. It's annoying though, because I know when I first heard the voices they'd given Cloud and Sephiroth I thought, "wow, that's not what they sounded like in my head at all," but at this point, those voice actors are so established that I've kind of forgotten exactly how I'd originally imagined them to sound.

Actually, I have this problem with most of the characters. None of them, except perhaps Yuffie and Vincent, ended up sounding like how I'd imagined they would, and yet I've forgotten how I'd imagined they would.

However, this game will (or should) give a lot more for those actors to do, so perhaps they'll get more of a chance to prove themselves.

[WizzroSupreme]

Just get Final Fantasy: Advent Children's voice cast.

[Pozzle]

Except Mena Suvari as Aeris. She was pretty terrible.

[kingPoS]

Most of the cast in Advent Children was great, why not recast them?
