    Fantastic interview. Its refreshing to see people like Ben who are so passionate about FF get the role, because as mentioned its quite rare. And not that someone who isnt passionate about a franchise couldnt perform well but from what i’ve heard so far i think Ben’s performance is going to set a few benchmarks for voiceacting, really impressive.
    I think, or would guess, that passion plays a part in how the endproduct turns out to be.
    Edit: I really found the format of this interview refreshing as well.

    Amazing interview, very relaxed and calming. Loved listening to it while I did other stuff. What Ben said about having an emotional connection with a game is exactly how I feel like. I've noticed recently, the games I've been buying (like diablo 4 for example) are more so with the possibility of playing with friends but I will not remember anything from the game, not like I remember things from Dragon Age or Inside, or ICO. Kinda made me reevaluate things and just save myself some money for the games I'm actually interested in like story/character driven games.

  • @ShadowProject01
    @ShadowProject01 Год назад

    While FFX is the one I resonated with the most even today. I have a soft spot for 8. Particularly because the 1st time I fought Ultimacia every party member except Rinoa fell and she was in her Sorcerer state so I had no control over her and both she and Ultimacia were slinging spells at each other. With really low hp on both sides. The rng gods were on my side because Rinoa won the fight won the spell slinging with 1hp left. It was so harrowing. Good times 😊
    Love this guy. So glad Ben is a fan as well.

    I am glad Ben could describe his feeling how he had beaten FF8. I feel same energy of connection to the game but it is with FF7, my very first FF game. I used my savings to buy the game because of the CD cover art. The funny thing is, early hours of the game I did not own PSX Memory Card, until one of my friend told me that I should buy Memory Card. It was interesting later on because I got the Memory Card from my Grandma (as now she is watching me from above). Not only the experience with FF7, but also the person involved in my life during the time I beat the game, it always remain in my heart. That’s how my emotional connection with this franchise. Every numbered fantasy series has it own story. I am happy how Ben give it all when it comes to VA for FF16. Good job! You deserved many appreciation!

    I am glad that Final Fantasy VIII is getting love even though it is one of my least favorite ones. I used to love VIII a lot as well but as I grew older and revisited all the old Final Fantasy games, it is hard to ignore VIII's major flaws.
    I find that the story went downhill when Irvine revealed that we were all childhood friends. The story moving forward from there is moving too quickly and Squalls character development also went by fast. His interest in Rinoa felt so sudden. There wasn't a proper progression to let their relationship seem believable. Zidane and Garnet's relationship was better and felt more organic.
    However, the saving grace of VIII are the optional contents. Collecting all the GFs is still enjoyable and creating the most broken junction set up for all characters still feels rewarding.
    I'd say VIII is a solid 7/10 for me. The story isn't just doing it for me. A lot of interesting concepts but most of them were executed poorly.

I just want to thank everyone at Square for putting out such a great game in FFXVI that not only am I back and immersed in this world, it's rekindled my love of my past FF games and I'm currently playing the 8 remaster all over again, with plans to go through 7 again (OG game) and even finally play through 6 which people have encouraged me to do for years.

I think the team have done an amazing job with XVI and the voice acting is top notch.
