Voice acting can often make or break a game and this is especially true for RPG’s. This genre, arguably more than any other, has to be able to tell a compelling story about intriguing, multi-dimensional characters and only a superb voice actor such as Nolan North, Troy Baker and Liam O’Brien to name a few, can pull that off. Get a bad one, however, and all hope is lost. It takes you out of the game, never letting you be truly immersed in the beautiful world that had been laid out in front of you.
On that note, Square-Enix have just re-released the Final Fantasy XV trailer that was shown off a while back, this time debuting the English voice actors. With Final Fantasy being on the decline in many people’s eyes, this initially worried me but, after having listened to the trailer, I was put at ease. The voices perfectly match the brief glimpses of personality and character the group shows and just having that beautiful, grand orchestral marvel accompanying it gets me far too excited. I just hope it’s a critical hit with the rest of the fan base.
