This is so bizarre, getting two Superman actors in a row to voice Sephiroth of all characters
I guess Square Enix likes Superman?
@@Utterlyrandomguy I mean, they sure like their sci-fi. Not only do they represent Star Wars with Eraqus, but they did Star Trek, Blade Runner, and Back to the Future all with Xehanort (under less than ideal circumstances, but I digress).
What if Henry Cavill is next?
By this point, I feel like it's mandatory for them to have played Superman prior.
Watch Henry cavil play him when we get a live action film of ff7. Although now that I think about it that sounds pretty awesome
George sets the tone but Tyler follows his example nicely. Lance sounds ridiculous 😂
True
Lance makes him sound weak in my opinion, I love George in Advent Children but Tyler's performance on VII Remake was amazing.

You forgot about ff7 original VA, it goes like this:

Lance Bass: Prepubescent Era
George Newbern: Adult Era
Tyler Hoechlin: Daddy Era
Tyler sucked
@@Killer_Kris7 he did a good job all you do is complain in the comment section about Tyler's voice.
@@TheLightShines why have a "good" voice when you had the "best"
Idiots. Freaking idiots
@@Killer_Kris7 yes you are :)
Now let’s be real here. People can have all the criticisms they wanna have about Tyler for not being as good as George, but one thing’s for sure. He will never be Lance Bass kind of bad XD
Yes, yes and yes. At least the average people with a good ear can _hear_ what Tyler Hoechlin is saying, unlike Lance Bass ("Sin Harvest" from the _official strategy guide,_ anyone?)
@@DavidHutchinson0713 I have perfect hearing yet I can't hear Hoechlin. Thank God for that
@@Killer_Kris7 Your hate for Tyler are clouding your ears xD Thank God for that!
So weird hearing Lance Bass say Sephiroth voice lines lol
Lance crawled so they could run
I actually quite like Tyler’s voice acting
Ew
@@Killer_Kris7 Love how you reply to every comment where someone says they like Tyler's voice acting. take your negativity elsewhere.
@@elementxal George is better
@@Killer_Kris7 that's your opinion that I didn't ask for. I personally enjoy Tyler's voice acting. have a nice day.
@@elementxal George did better
Tyler has the "creepy" vibes perfectly nailed for Sephiroth.
I actually prefer Tyler's because of that....because Seph is rather creepy.
Don't be dumb
Idiot. George is way better
@@Killer_Kris7 don't be dumb yourself.
You never played the original ff7
bro is so mad he came back a year later to reply to you again lmao
Tyler’s voice slowly got better during the progression of the remake. Any1 else notice this?
I think that's likely due to him being in the booth for hours on end. I think the longer an actor is in character, the more in touch they are with them.
@@appl3s0ft that’s what I’m assuming but I’m not sure if voice acting plays scenes out in order? Cause regular film acting sure doesn’t
@@user-uv4wn2xx7o oh yeah. I’m always hearing that they do dialogue out of order. The same could be said for remake 7 so I wouldn’t be 100% sure lol
Nope he was bad
@@Killer_Kris7 agreed. It was complete trash
You can hear the hostility in George’s voice, and the mystery in Tyler’s. Like Tyler’s Sephiroth knows something you don’t. Love both of them, nailed it 💯
Lance Bass sounds cool when you're fighting him but he sounds terrible when his voice is isolated.
George's voice has more superiority tone, which suits Sephiroth when he's still a Soldier, a strong, but lonely human.
Tyler's voice is more creepy, which suits Sephiroth after he "died", fused with Lifestream, and kinda become a ghost who keeps haunting Cloud.
My thoughts exactly. I may be in the minority but I prefer creepy specter, boogeyman Sephiroth more than unhinged Super-soldier Sephiroth, though both are great.
You can't even hear Tyler's Sephiroth lol
Lance did his best
Good insight
I like Hoechlin’s performance it sounds younger and more expressive and actually more mysterious. It is a little weird because this Sephiroth is speculated to be the one from Advent Children, but this one sounds younger and more aspirational.
George Newbern is still the most menacing Sephiroth.
He has some experience with that as Superman, both in Injustice and with the Justice Lords.
George Newbern is on another level.
Such a clear voice.
Of course George is my bae but you gotta admit that Tyler does a truly fantastic performance.
Eh
@@Killer_Kris7 bro get a life all you do is reply to people hating Tyler grow TF up
@@The7brandonhh sorry he sucked
No, he sounds bad. Tyler sounds like young xehanort more than sephiroth.
Eh, Tyler's still got a lot to go before he can really be there, although I do think he did ver well in the role. Although I will say this: I'll take Tyler Hoechlin over Lance Bass any fuckin' day.
George always, is a legend
Lance is a no no but george and Tyler do great jobs with what they’re given
George has an anime dub vibe, while Tyler has a cinematic vibe.
So George is better
I can see why. I mean, George Newbern debuted in Advent Children, an anime movie.
@@Killer_Kris7 damn u rly have no life. I thought other comment threads were exaggerating but nope, u rly going to every comment that talks remotely positive about Tyler and whine in ur reply.
@@Killer_Kris7 Shut up, Tyler Hoechlin's hater xD
@@cic1470 Just don't give him any mind. He's just gonna keep barking that George is the only superior Sephiroth and hating on Tyler despite the fact he actually did a great job at following George's voice. He's basically triggered that some people actually appreciate Tyler.
George Newburn is my favorite. His voice is so milotic in a sinister way
I'm looking forward to seeing how much Tyler improves in Remake Part 2.
*Cough Cough* Crisis Core *Cough Cough*
@@averagejoker7623 That too.
The last two are pretty similar. Both do a good job. Lance Bass... for a singer you'd expect him to know what human voices are supposed to sound like.
Right.... and his voice here sounds human lmao like what type of criticism is that? 😂😂
George Newbern’s Sephiroth is my favorite performance in any Final Fantasy game. He just sounds so evil, like something out of someone’s nightmares, while characters like the Emperor, Exdeath, Seymour, and Kuja sound silly (but still fun).
In my head I pictured Sephiroth sounding like George or Tyler when I first played ff7. Or maybe the Voice of someone like Sesshomaru or Naruku from Inuyasha. I have no idea what they were thinking with Lance
I always pictured James Spader
Why are people giving Tyler Hoechlin's Sephiroth such a hard time? He sounds fine.
Nice joke
Because George Newbern is un-fucking-beatable
@@Killer_Kris7 I realize this is CLEARLY a troll account, but hey, I'll bite. George Newbern is absolutely the best Sephiroth, no question. I honestly don't know why they didn't employ him for the role, but this game has a almost no big-name actors.The only two I recognized were Jon DiMaggio and Fred Tatsciore. Pretty rare for a Square Enix game, and even rarer for a game of this scope.
Having never heard of Tyler Hoechlin before this game, I was expecting another Lance Bass debacle, but it was anything but. Certainly not George Newbern, but a decent stand-in.
I don't know why I bothered writing all of that since it'll be ignored, but I've said my piece, so troll away.
@@richardsinclair7661 You did not write this comment in vein, I've read it and I 100% agree with you.
It's because it does not sound mencacing and maniacal enough. It sounds like a dude doing a ASMR video trying to mimic gorge newborne. No offense to anyone who likes the voice but I do not like it when companies replace english voice actors that actually fit the character and keep their native actors. This is only for money and nothing more but either way Tyler is ok but he's just not that great to me. I've heard and grew up with all the sephiroth voices and even a fan dub voice for a ff7 mod sounds a whole lot better than tyler. He's equally menacing and scary while adding the superiority and soulless feel. This is how seph is supposed to sound not some dude doing asmr and trying to sound like a try hard. He's ok just not the best.
Even when Sub Par Voice Direction works against him, George Newbern is still the Best English voice for Sephiroth.
George Newbern no question!
George also voiced him in Advent Children!
To be fair to Lance Bass though: He was the first one who even gave Sephiroth a voice
For English cuz Japan had someone for Ehergeiz
George Newbern is the best Sephriroth
I think I'll always love Goerge Newbern, but I think Tyler Hoechlin did a fantastic job trying to keep the same deep tone and style. I never even realized there was another VA besides George and Tyler though, so I'm just going to be grateful Lance didn't get cast for the Remake.
Wow! If I had a nickel for every time Superman and Sephiroth were played by the same guy, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?
George is the best Sephiroth.
George Newbern of course but Tyler's version is growing on me
His theme is so legendary
Does one have to play Superman to be a good voice actor for Sephiroth?
Maybe Henry Cavill? 😂
Nicholas Cage? 🤣
George Newbern stands superior as Sephiroth, though Tyler did a decent Sephiroth. but holy fuck does George Newbern have a very toxic fanbase, goddamn..
Newbern and Hoechlin are SUPERMAN. Now we just need Henry Cavill or Brandon Routh to be Sephiroth in PS5 Remake.
Honestly I'd love that and believe BOTH would do very well.
WE NEED HENRY CAVILL AS SEPHIROTH
Nicholas Cage anyone? 😂🤣
Good work!
George Newbern IS SEPHIROTH!
HOW DID WE GET SUPERMAN AS SEPHIROTH
TWICE
I remember Lance's voice being much more intimidating back in the day when I was dodging that 10ft katana, and even if the isolated recordings are a bit rough compared to the others, I can definitely see Lance's calm arrogance carry though to the other actors as well.
the new guy aint bad honestly hes not as icy as george newbern but hes in the same ball park i think anybody else may have done a worse job anyway ill take it..he can portray how sephiroths personality comes off just fine
Just by George's Sephiroth in the FF7 AC movie (the "good to see you, cloud" line omg!) and FF7 CC. I think he is the best Sephiroth.
Newbern is Amazing smh no one else should voice act for Sephiroth.
I just don’t get it. The new dude is just doing an impression of George. Why not keep him
if i had a nickel for every time a TV superman voiced sephiroth, i’d have two nickels; which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
George Newbern's Sephiroth is so good.
He is. Perfect Sephiroth voice actor
It’s weird how everyone mentions Superman voices Sephiroth but nobody brings up the fact that he was also voiced by one of the *NSYNC guys
Tyler Hoechlan sounds very similar to George Newbern. He did a good job replicating his voice
Not really

I could see it

I like both George Newburn and Tyler Hoechlin. Both of them sounds great. Lance doesn’t suit Sephiroth at all.
Lance bass should have been tidus
@@dustind.291 I could see that more accurately.
George Newbern is also Injustice Superman actor
Who ever thought to hire a member of NSYNC as the voice of Sephiroth?! What horrible voice acting from Lance Bass. He never would fit that bill of such a powerful character as Sephiroth. Someone was on drugs that day.
At least he tried something new, Newbern is perfect. Tyler is trying to copy Newbern but somehow sounds worse, which is 100x insulting
@@Killer_Kris7 dude get help!!! Stop replying to others to hate Tyler
@@john_7000 no
Wait that must’ve been a joke right? Terrible voice acting.
@@Killer_Kris7 nope. Lance Bass sounds younger, I mean Sephiroth was almost 30 years old. Lance was around 23.
George’s voice will forever be iconic, but I like Tyler’s voice; I think it fits the tone of the remake well.
I just finished KH1 again and when I was watching the credits I noticed that Sephiroth was voiced by Lance Bass in KH1. WTF
i feel like george and tyler's voices both give sephiroth a slightly different vibe. george's voice makes him sound more superior, godlike and evil (i think this is most seen in advent children), and while tyler does catch those things in his sephiroth voice, i feel like he makes him seem more like a looming presence, which i think makes sense because of how sephiroth is presented in the remake compared to advent children. both are great to me but george will always have the legendary sephiroth voice :)
When in japanese.....he's the guy that will use Killer Queen
Or that charming half Devil, half human. But, he is full *AWESOME!*
His jp va also voiced lego superman
I just found out Lance Bass voiced Sephiroth, I can't comprehend it
this video made me go on my knees 🧎🏻♀️
george newbern did such a fantastic job that when i remember fighting sephiroth in the first one, i hear his voice and not lances.
Why does lance sound like such a frat boy 😭😭
So does Hoechlin lol
Lance Bass out here voicing him like a teenage heartthrob...
George Newbern is also voicing Sephiroth in Dissidia as well as Advent Children. I'm sorry for the new VA. But George is Sephiroth.
This is just my opinion but I feel like Crispin Freeman aka Itachi Uchiha could also be a good fit for Sephiroth as well. George obviously still bein the best, but Crispin could definitely do him justice as well
I think Ultron/Raymond Reddington aka James Spader would do an awesome job as Sephiroth's voice
There are a lot of George Newbern fanboys in these comments. Can't believe people can be so pissed off about a voice actor change.
damn, imagine respecting voice actors...must be some kinda not-western thing huh
...Wow.
When I was a teen I thought it was the neatest thing that Lance Bass voiced Sephiroth in KH1.
And I thought it was a pity that I could barely hear him, he was so quiet and echoey and the music was so loud.
Hearing it without the music...
You uh... really phoned it in there, Bass.
They're all great.
One of the things you have to understand about Kingdom Hearts is that as it is part-Disney, many of its original characters are (or at some point have been) voiced by B-list TV stars, child actors (former or otherwise), and/or pop singers, with occasional standout choices such as Christopher Lee and Leonard Nimoy. So of course Disney would pick Lance Bass as a bankable stunt-cast name for an early-2000s game.
I miss George's rendition of Sephiroth. The new one just... :/
tyler shockingly sounds more like george than i thought he would tbh
Funniest joke all day
@@Killer_Kris7 go find your father
Everyone not named Lance Bass did a good job 😂
Could you do a voice actor video for Oddworld?
I legit had no idea that was Tyler Hoechlin. He fucking delivers!
To Square's credit, the Final Fantasy franchise didn't start using voice actors until around the 10th game, so they didn't know whose voice would suit Sephiroth. And granted, Sephiroth's appearance in the first Kingdom Hearts game was only for fighting him in the Coliseum, but there was no explanation whatsoever for why you had to fight him. At least when the Advent Children movie came out, they got some of the voice actors from that in KH2 (of course, Steve Burton had already voiced Cloud in KH1, so it was obvious that he'd voice him again in said movie and again in KH2).
Tyler Hoechlin is so underrated as an actor
So two Supermen voiced him, bizarro.
And they really show his Darkseid quite well through the voices was a very Brainiac thing to do. Will be Doomsday before they get another Superman actor to voice Sephiroth though.
@@daniellayman4498 BRAINIAC
@@unwelldanny7108 Yeah that's what I said or were you calling me that? 🤣
Nothing could beat George Newbern. Not only we grew up with him as Superman from the DCAU, but we love facing him as Sephiroth in KH2.
George Newbern is still the best Sephiroth.
Damn good cast
The stunt casting in KH1 was hilarious. Mandy Moore voiced Aerith. Leon was DAVID FUCKING BOREANAZ.
“Lance tries his best
Tyler is a good boy
George was different…”

nope, it was kira yoshikage
@@boopert3589 what?
@@AggressiveSushi Sephiroth’s JP voice actor, Toshiyuki Morikawa, plays Kira Yoshikage from JOJO.

Fun fact: George Newbern effectively won the role of Sephiroth based on the positive reaction to his performance as Nooj in FFX-2.
its interesting the last guy is like a mix of both and it somewhat fits Sephiroth perfectly
George is the best, Tyler is not bad, Lance sounds awful.
0:47 THE WAY IT SHOT UP
For his first VA Performance I LOVED Tylers Sephiroth. Of course I never played the OG FF7 but I don't care THIS man is my Sephiroth.

@@stelena1406 listen to Newbern and come back
@@stelena1406 have you?
George Newbern for me is Sephiroth, but Tyler Hoechlin did a great job too. He, TIfa and Aerith were probably the best voices out of the Remake's changed cast.
No he didn't
0:40 is perfect. In another context it would seem terrible due to the line and flat delivery, but in context it perfectly demonstrates just how unsettlingly calm Sephiroth is.
What’s up with the kh textures? Mods?
I prefer Tyler. ☺️
Eugh no
God damn he's fabulous. Also. What about the Japanese voice actor?
He's voiced by the same guy for years: Toshiyuki Morikawa
Holy F I had no clue that was Derek from teen wolf that was voicing Sephiroth in the remake. He did a damn fine job.
I didn’t realize the voice of sepiroth was one of the band of nysc
Damn, that's a good voice from Tyler.
This is the second time Sephiroth was played by a Superman actor.
I didn't even remember Spehiroth being voiced in Kingdom Hearts 1, and well, maybe that was for the best. Did it really have all that echo?
I didn't know Tommy wiseu was the first one to vocie sephiroth
This video played on auto play, and I thought it was a Danny Phantom video when I heard the first voice-
Can't almost tell the difference between George and Tyler, spot on performances.
I'm having such a fan girl moment right now 😍😍😍
How many more Teen Wolf actors are in the voice cast of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth?
Edit: I just found out that Gideon Emery/Deucalion is a voice actor in FF7 Remake too. Seriously what a coincidence
