I think Matthew Mercer was the perfect choice as the new voice actor for Vincent Valentine. He was great!
Best part of the who game was laughing that they made matt snore lol
He did SO good!
For me it would’ve been toss up between Mercer, O’Brien or Crispin Freeman but I knew Freeman wouldn’t get it as he used to be Rude
@@Wezt334 I still think Crispin Freeman should've gotten it, a more perfect roll couldn't have existed for him. As it is it just sounds like Mercer is trying his best impression of him anyway.
It was foretold.Vince Valentine voiced by someone named Matt Mercer. It's poetry.
It's awesome when a professional setting can treat you like a friend or likable person by putting effort into setups like this
I would have walked out. That bait and switch and shitty to do.
@@sidcomegys4154Thats why matt mercer is a successful and beloved voice actor and you are leaving comments on youtube
@@sidcomegys4154it’s meant to appeal to the passionate, not the egotistical
@@sidcomegys4154
Instead of voicing some random background NPCs, they gave him one of the most important characters in the game - a character that Matt additionally likes, in a Series that he's a massive fan of...
This is literally a much better deal, than what he was originally going to do - and they did that specifically because everyone who follows and watches Matthew Mercer knows, that he loves stuff like this...
@@colinkwasnikcooked him lol 😂
Matt accepted the job without knowing who he was playing. When final fantasy calls, you answer.
I think that's pretty normal for voice acting, I've heard a lot of stories of the actors not knowing who they're playing until they're in the booth.
It is a job like any other. You could turn it down. But it is still a paycheck. And rarely anyone turns down a paycheck.
John Mulanely did an interview where he said he actually thought he was gonna be killed when he went in for his audition as spider pig.
They didn't tell him anything about the movie or role and told him not to tell anyone
Yes, an excellent idea to reveal at the last moment that someone is voicing a major character. Who needs rehearsal, or time to consider what their performance will be? Actually, FF has such garbage dialogue and poorly conceived characterisation that it doesn't really matter
They're more likeable than you, so clearly they're doing something right.
Matt Mercer is absolutely living the dream of a 90s nerd right now. He has famous and well loved company with his friends which revolves around them playing D&D together and has voiced Ganondorf, Minsc and Vincent Valentine. Let us take a moment to appreciate that one of our own made that happen for himself.
Insignificant as it may be in the context of so many things going on in the world, Matt Mercer and the Critical role cast as whole are a triumph of good natured people putting their passion into what they do and even if only in a small way, so many of us are just a little better off for it
"Hey teenage Matt, you'll get to be a professional DM, but you'll 'have' to voice act in some of your favourite content," would be one heck of a message to send to your past self.
Matt and Toby Fox are setting new standards for life goals among nerds and just seeing them live their lives to their fullest makes me happy to be able to take part in it, even if just to some peripheral degree.
Not just voiced Ganondorf, but played him Live Action in his own Web Series, There Will Be Brawl!!
Jotaro, Levi, Hit, Trafalgar Law.........like
Also voiced Leon Kennedy in RE6, Revelations 2 and the animated movies.
THEY FOUND THE VIDEO
FINALLY!!!!
They never lost it… they were just biding their time
@@crashwithkirby6708 🤓🤓🤓
Thanks Dr Coomer!
What video?
honestly thats the coolest way to learn you got an iconic role
Didn't happen
@@highlandus Obviously did if they have video footage and he attests to it. No reason to lie here.
He was clearly the right guy to do that with. Talk about appreciation!
Aint no way the revealed it with a 2006 slideshow😭😭😭 fair enough man, very happy for him
the way vincent is revealed i think is a reference to how it was in the og
@super88cloud how is that a reference to the original game?
I love how confident they were in him that they could spring it on him like that.
Of course bud, who the hell wouldn’t be stoked AF to find out you’re voicing one of the coolest main characters in not just the series but the franchise.
@@SlideIX You misunderstood, i think. Theyre so sure he can do it, that they didnt even tell him he was doing it until they were recording him already in studio.
@@deathwrow9652 😂 fair one, I thought the original comment meant they were confident he would be happy to do the role.
It's a bit risky lol...what if he got mad that they tricked him? Obviously they knew he wouldn't.
@@happyclam1266 ngl i think it’s impossible to be mad at getting paid more money to play an iconic ff character
the low quality PowerPoint really makes this so much better
Matt absolutely killed it as Vincent man.
Absolutely
Death doesn't suit a Turk was amazing and Dope
He didn’t kill anything as Vincent 😢
@@TehSamurai As I’m you didn’t like his performance? I’m sorry to hear that.
@@EPICSAWIKI I think he was making a joke that Vincent isn't a playable character in Rebirth, so he didn't actually "kill" anyone lol
when i see Matt he always comes to me as Leon and Dante combined as an actual human 🤭
Where's everyone going... Jackpot.
Well, he voiced Leon in RE6 and a bunch of animated movies, and he cosplayed Dante in one of the Halloween episodes of Critical Role, so you're not too far off.
And vinny vinesauce is Leon, build, and cloud personality, combined into one plus being Italian, and wacky.
@@09spidyoh, that Leon
Real
FINALLY! The prank video has been released!
Matt kind of makes sense, you need someone of equal legend status as steve blum to step in, and matts definitely up there for the more modern day.
He's arguably the most recognized name of all voice actors, even though it's not exactly because of voice acting lol
@@KanrielTechnically. But that notoriety comes with already demonstrating a range of voices, accents, and sound effects. "Give me some Trent Ikithon."
Should have been Steve, or Gojo’s, english va, just the be more unique i can see Vincent, with a higher softer voice while still being dark, and serious hence gojo, because he acts like a sophisticated vampire himself.
@@joshshrum2764ehhh vincent isn’t anything like gojo, vincent is haunted by his past and has deep regret for everything he feels he failed to do, Gojo was the strongest from birth almost complete opposite’s
You could just hire Steve Blum...
He manages to get that raspy tone that Steve Blum did so right. I’m glad
This was so pure. Matthew is the coolest human and deserves all the good things in life!!
Also, he's a *massive* Final Fantasy fanboy.
Love seeing geeky good people winning. Congratulations on the Win Mr. Mercer.
Im so glad Matt had this chance. Vincent is one of my all time favorite FF characters. I havent reached him quite yet but i know hes going to absolutely kill it!
Why are VA the coolest and chillest people? This guy seem so fun, and Aeriths VA seems like a total sweetheart. Also Ben star and Henry Mcentire are also alsolute gems. Same with pretty much any other VA i look into/follow.
Some are better than others. And some are nicer so long as you agree with their ideologies.
Voice Actors are just Actors with all of the talent and none of the ego
Nah a lot of today’s have plenty of ego. As the other guy said there’s a lot of liberal Hollywood wokeness. At the top level they’re pretty much Hollywood anyway, a lot of them do both.
This voice actor is a fan of the original game, even did cosplay for it back in the day. I love when actual fans of a series get to pick up the torch and keep running with it.
@@jaybee4288”Hollywood wokeness”
Artists of all mediums have been overwhelmingly left wing for decades now. You guys just gotta accept this and move on.
Congratulations on making it in, matt! ❤
Some of us knew you as Yuskue from persona 5, Ganondorf, Levi, Jotaro, Kagaya from demon slayer, Espio, Ira from kingdom hearts, and so many more! Now, you are Vincent valentine from Final fantasy 7!
Leon S. Kennedy :o
Don't forget Jack Cooper from Titanfall 2 and Cassady from Overwatch
Dude really out here living his dream.
He was also the voice of Kanji Tatsumi of Persona 4 Anime for episodes 13-26 (for some reason Troy Baker couldn't do those episodes. Even though he is the OG voice for the character).
Chrom fire emblem Awakening, warriors, heroes, Engage and Smash Ultimate
I love how they revealed to him in the form of a prank, such a beautiful moment
Believe me when I say we were equally delighted to hear your voice Matt. Perfect casting.
Seeing artists experiencing joy will never get old ❤
Vincent: It's high noon.
I believe he would slip that in if they let him.
You two were good great voice actors Steve Blum as Vincent Valentine Original and Matthew Mercer as Vincent Valentine Remake really entertained me😎👍🏻
Such a great voice actor and he seems like a real nice guy!!
Aw Matt. I'm so proud and happy for him
It just nice seeing him get to be a part of this.
Recognized him instantly when I heard Vincent speak, especially having just heard his performance of ganondorf last year. Great voice actor.
Knowing Matthew a little, not personally, but knowing his character this is big for him cause final fantasy seven is what put play station on the broad of the big dogs
I'm so happy for him, and also for us. He did a great job as Vincent.
Matthew Mercer is definitely leading his best life
Matthew nailed this character. So so good. Phenomenal job❤❤❤
I love this!
The day I saw the trailer and heard Vincent talk, I got up from my chair with the largest smile while going "NO WAY!!!!"
I got to meet him at a convention! He was super cool! I drew 3 pictures. One for him to keep and one for both me and a friend to have him sign. I didnt expect him to be so seemingly excited about my drawing and the fact i made one for him. It was really cool
I'm so happy for him!
Damn SE USA you trolls hahaha, Im glad he is Vincent he is a worthy successor to voice him ❤
That boyish amusement in Matt's tone say it all right there!
I'm happy for him, and I'm sure we are also happy that he is the voice of Vincent!
So dope!!! Must of felt so honored and like a dream come true. Happy for him.👍🏻
He genuinely has to be the most humble human on earth. He is always so surprised lmao. One of my favorite humans.
Can't wait for when you can actually have Vincent in your party.
It's so corny I love it.
And youre amazing at it, all the voice actors are absolutely amazing!
I had the pleasure of meeting Matt Mercer back in , I believe 2014-2015. He is such a good person.
Seeing Matthew Mercer happy makes the world happy.
His voice is sexy as hell as vincent dude only shows up in 3 chapters and i already love this vincent version way more than the others especially that sexy voice
That's so sweet that they did a full set up like that, omg
I didn't know Matt Mercer voices Vincent in Rebirth!! I'm still in the Correl region so I haven't gotren that far yet. That's absolutely awesome. He voiced Minsc and now Vincent Valentine? That's incredible
Tf ur barely in corel 😮 u have a loooong way
Such a wholesome response!! Love this!
Man your work on Jia Chong (Dynasty Warriors 8) was insane taking a brand new character and making him iconic right out of the gate. Excellent job on Vincent
Not me waiting for next year's Halloween session with Matt cosplaying Vincent
Im so glad this was caught on camera. When he told this story at NYCCC i wanted to see it.
I'm Soo glad you are playing Vincent he is my favorite character and I'm so glad they got you to do the voice
As a voice actor, to have that happen would be incredible!
I love that all the cast members have fallen in love with their characters. They legitimately have a love for this game. And yet, Matt is perfect as Vincent
That's amazing!!!! 🎉
I've seen this multiple times and I still smile wide when I see it. Matt Mercer absolutely crushed it as Vincent. Perfect choice, quite literally.
This was so wholesome. Exactly what i expect from Matt
Thats awesome that they took the effort to do that to surprise him.
I can't believe that's how he found out
That's crazy!!
Also like. Perfect casting. PERFECT casting.
Nothing better than knowing the role went to someone who knew the game and appreciated the character.
Matthew Mercer has been the voice for so many characters. He is brilliant 🔥
One of my favorite voice actors doing the voice for my FAVORITE Final Fantasy character. We deserve Dirge of Cerberus remastered.
This is so wholesome! They obviously knew it was a big deal for him and he's obviously got the chops, so I'm glad he got that opportunity.
This made me tear up. Hell ya, grats to him! He deserves it, he's great!
as soon as i saw matt playing vincent. i screamed vincent is my fave
This is so freaking adorable and sweet.
Man, getting to pull one over Matt Mercer must feel amazing 😂
Wait, voice actors get fun reveals for themselves too?! That’s awesome!
I still want to meet him so badly. I never manage to get to any of the few conventions he is at. I love that he voices Vincent Valentine and Trafalgar Law from One Piece. He is awesome!
This might be one of the cutest moments I've seen involving Matthew Mercer.
Got chills watching this. So happy for him!
Oh Vincent is a great fit for him! I’m so happy for Matt. óuò I’ve put off playing partly because episode waiting is not my thing but partly because it grinds on me when voices are different. (Advent Children was my favourite movie for 10 years.)
Vincent is legit. I had fun (when I first got it, I was pissed bc it wasn't an upgrade like all the other final fantasies) but after getting over it, that game was super fun and ahead of its time.
That’s such a great way to reveal who he was voicing! How fun!
Well, that's really cool that they did that for him.
He did an absolutely outstanding job, I love the previous actor no question but he fits the remake so well - especially where he's an actual fan himself
Love seeing celebrities get excited over a part of something that they are abig nerd for cause thats how you know they are going to give it there all in the acting
this guy literally does EVERYTHING
omfg this is so cute. I love Matt Mercer, he just seems like such a kind hearted dude.
oh this makes me so happy oml I love it when you get to see a va go from "ok, job time" to having a fan moment lol
This guy is one of the best voice actors in business. Love him as Yusuke and Cassidy
Love that hes still fine playing background as famous a voice actor as he is
His voice is really made for Vincent
i’ll always enjoy seeing Cloud in a non-distressed and full fledged first class SOLDIER uniform. just looks so good, especially with the og looking buster sword. perfection. also this song is my fav, has been since the og game. bummed its not on the ost :( thanks for the upload!
He is a legend for this role.
They clearly love this guy to have put in that reveal for him. We love him too.
That’s awesome! And the fact that they revealed it in meme format is icing on the cake.
You are a lucky man. Not only are you such a talented voice actor but you got to work with my favorite company of all time on the best series of games ive ever experienced.
He stayed humble, even though he figured he was just doing background characters. I love that.
He knocked Ganondorf outta the park in TOTK, too. He's an incredible talent.
Couldn’t stop smiling. And every time I heard Vincent talk I heard Matt’s voice leap out and grab me and oh just so happy with the casting choice
It’s so very eerie, just peak Vincent vibes. Perfect way to reveal it to him!
What a great story. That's so cool that they feel this way about the characters.
Vincent got to have Steve Blum and Matt Mercer voice him, two absolute legends. What a chad
Ah, that's so wholesome. Perfect for a wholesome guy, like Matt.
I haven’t reached the Nibelheim/Vincent portion of Rebirth yet, but I am so stoked to know Matt is playing Vincent!
They revealed it in the most Matthew Mercer way possible.
Yesss love this man. And VV was my favorite character in my favorite game ever
That is epic! 🤣👍 Matt is one of my favorite people in the world, he so deserved this & did an AMAZING job! 💕
I was SO happy to find out Mercer was Vincent. It made me laugh so hard and cry out in excitement. Love this guy
i straight got goose bumps when they revealed it
