Final Fantasy VII English & Japanese Voice Cast

[FF9MovieMaker]

weird how red XIII's voice actor voices Caius

[TheOnlyDarkAngel13]

Steve Blum is a GOD.

[cimsterable]

Of course the most epic voice comes last....fucking epic....

[coderre090]

@cimsterable Epic is the most over-used and meaningless word ever.

[cimsterable]

@coderre090 your point?

[Loveless6825]

Steve Blum is God. x)

[coffeefromyourcafe]

Japanese Cloud actor 100x better than English...

[nicari]

This is awesome. Thanks for making this. The VAs are just incredible!

[kelbyhaines]

Damn I love final Fantasy 7 soo emotional! *Tears!

[starliss88]

I didn't know Gackt did voice acting!! o_0!!! wooooow.. I don't think Suzumura matches with Zack...but I like most of Japanese and English casts :p

[lashanta25]

The creators of Final Fantasy must have been really careful with the voices actors/actresses that they picked because of how BIG these games are. I think they did an amazing job with it all and I'm gonna remain a HUGE fan of Final Fantasy till the day that I die.

[heavenlycatlover3]

I actually like george newbern's sephiroth voice more than the japanese one.

[emilycupcake1]

alright playing Black Water as Kadaj's song...win

[emilycupcake1]

you know whats weird....I see Robin Atkin Downes when he was only in DoC..he said like 17 words throughout all of FF....how come nobody knows a damn thing about Oliver Quinn, the real Genesis Rhapsodos....I can't find anything about him! no pictures or anything..any info will be greatly appreciated! hes about 27 or 28 thats all i know

[emilycupcake1]

omg love the song Fulfilled Desire by Takeharu Ishimoto

[0007Laranja0007]

People can say what they want but I love the English voices better!

[TheMadnessisme]

@0007Laranja0007 Agreed. ^-^

[AmlaraKatei]

Mori-Mori <3 I like his Sephiroth!

[JavitaaHf]

Tifa's voice... I like more in japenese :)

[Zazychan]

Except for maybe a tiny few exceptions, the japanese voice actors are way better. And it's not exactly about the sound of their voice, because I think Steve Burton and Rick Gomez have beautiful voices, as does Tifa's voice actor, it's just...the acting. I'm not sure what it is that bothers me either

[bangthatass779]

i've noticed how in the beginning the english actors looked like the the person they were impersonating, like Cloud, Zack, and Aerith. Also its weird how the japanese actors look like family: black hair, black eyes... Except Gackt. Gackt is a whole different species x3

I luv how they left the best for last: Gackt's and the American Seph's sexy ass voices >.<

Funny how the Japanese Seph is posing like saying "Yeah, I'm such a bad boy, playing the villain" ;)

[1shaunmeechan]

Steve Burton kinda looks like cloud...

[truepersian405]

Tifa's English character is HOT!!!!

[ubergamerman]

The voice of Vincent also does Zabuza and Orochimaru for Naruto. :D

[gabriell16bishop]

don't get me wrong, i love english dubs but steve burton did a lousy job as cloud.

[AlexiaTheHedgehog1]

Awesome!....But what about Angeal!?!

[raven3blue]

13:57 best part <3



[MsComicgirl]

what's the name of the song in zack's part??? IT's so touching that i could remember zack by listening to it :'(

[Sapphire1992]

I can't believe that Christy Carlson Romano! I didn't know she could do voices! Haha

[Lilukachan]

@Sapphire1992 Yeah, If I'm not mistaken she also did Yuffie for Kingdom Hearts/

[Sapphire1992]

In my opinion, in general, the Japanese cast suit the characters more.

[rebed100]

the voice for yuffie is the same voice for kim possible! <3

[Gothchick657]

what song was used for Kadaj's into? ^^;

[Lilukachan]

@Gothchick657 Black Water :3 from the movie soundtrack

[torryz1]

I can't believe tifa is josie from the pussy cats

[tdglover9]

i feel bad for the voice actors for red 13 they only get ONE line in the entire film, even after complete!

[DaRkLoRd1061]

i swear yuffie has the best voice actor for both english and japanese....

[xSmilexToxMe]

You forgot Angeal!!! o-:

[RinoaAngelwings696]

George Newbern will always be the best English voice for Sephiroth :D

[UtubeH8tr]

11:05 is partially rayman pirates theme.

[cherrieblossomgurl]

English all the way!

[rhythmrules1234]

Gackt <3 *fangirls*

[TheShadoWings]

English cast is always better.

[DarrenDragonRage]

BARRET LOOKS THE SAME IN REAL LIFE :O!!!!!!!!

[darkpyros666]

Zackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk :3, the english voice rulz

[ArcadiaEngine]

I don't care what anybody says, the english voice for Vincent is WAYYY better than the japanese one. By Far

[hindd95]

@ArcadiaEngine I agree. For japanese games, animes and CG movies, I always prefer the English dubs. For example, I just can't stand Goku's original voice; I totally respect who likes it, and the original voice actors; but I prefer the English voice actors. George Newbern as Sephiroth is way better too, in my opinion.

[gabriell16bishop]

@ArcadiaEngine thats because steve blum voiced him which is awesome!

[dategami]

@ArcadiaEngine agreed

[butterflyed]

love that sephiroth got the least amount of screen time -__-

[TheShadoWings]

@butterflyed Red XIII gets least amount of screen time because he only has one line in the whole movie, haha.

[seraphimdragonff10]

a lot of steves. OMGCLOUD IS CONTROLLED BY MARIK! NOOOO!!!

[RetardedBearLove]

gackt* -.-

[RetardedBearLove]

Gakt!!!! :O <3

[tapmem]

Okay who else fan girl'd when Gackt came up? Seriously his voice is so smooth and soothing... could fall asleep to that voice. =w= Also funny how he had three pics! xD

[darkservantofheaven]

ummm...damn.....I think I know why so many girls love Gact so much...ah man...this is awkward....Gakt is so.....pretty....(SLAPS SELF) goddamn it Adam you look booobs!!!

[zannadoe86]

And sorry, but George Newbern IS Sephiroth. NO comparison.

[Aussieroth7]

@zannadoe86 watch?v=X9AYcwsaiIA 6:38 you sure? Crispin Freeman was brilliant too.

[zannadoe86]

@Aussieroth7 I can see what you mean, but to be honest George Newbern has more of a menace in his voice than Crispin Freeman when it comes to Sephiroth. It's subtle, but once you notice it; it becomes harder for someone to compare anyone else.

[zannadoe86]

I'm not normally one to take sides, but for some reason I really like Mena better as Aerith. She has a much more gentle voice than Maaya.

[kutlessrocker23]

English voice actor for Genesis is also the voice actor of Luxord in Kingdom Hearts, Sgt. Becket in F.E.A.R. 3, and Cyclops in X-Men Legends. 

[RathDragonfang]

is it just me or does the japanese voice actor for vincent look just as demented as Vincent himself?

[cypresswillow2591]

You forgot our Sadistic Boss Rufus Shinra xD

i think you should also do Part two...

[cypresswillow2591]

where's part two??????

[GrandAngel8000]

Jack's voice actor ... I swear he could have been taken straight out of The Book of Smexy

[MariOtaku2]

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AH!!!!!!!!!!!!! GACKT!! *OOOOOOOOOOOO*

[IoIGinful]

English voice actor of Cloud is so emotion <3

[zackcloud61]

The voice of zack in jap and eng is COOL :DD

[Kokoxiong008]

Well, i think the japanese do a better job at voice. it's like theres more emotion to it and its well fit to the character.

[clairesfocus]

@Kokoxiong008 disagree... dunno why but i just do.

[xLloOyDx]

Zaaaaack <3

[XxTheSesshomaru17xX]

i prefer kadaj jap voice a lot more

[R4KID]

LOOOOOOOL Barret looks like the actual thing

[belle14073]

So.... many steves

[XxAoiLoverxX]

I really love the english and japanese voice actors, but surprisingly, I like the english version more ( I mean, hello Kadaj, Vincent and Sephiroth in english ...*.*...) (that's weird cause I always like the japanese voice actors more)

But I so hate Tifa's english voice !! Geez -.-

[kadajshm]

Watashi wa... omoide ni wa naranai saa.

Sephy~ <3

[KingOfHalla]

Rachael Leigh Cook. = w=

[CrisisCoreFair]

Didn't you forgot Angeal ?

[whatuhhidk2]

I want the Japanese version just because Gackt is in it!

[whatuhhidk2]

They have three Steves? Wow, that would be confusing.

[SeriphanKnight]

Whaat?!?! Steve Burton does video game voices?! I thought he just did Soap Operas hahaha!

[wongzi1986]

It's a good thing Aertih has so few lines in Advent Children...When she had more lines in Kingdom Hearts 2, you can tell it was really horrible...

[Repent3nce]

Kinda seems that the Final Fantasy People are more Badass versions of their voice actors. xD

[KurosakiLuvar01]

Shogo Suzuki's voice makes my underwear melt. Just sayin.

[lmhfantasy]

Isn't Kadaj's english voice actor the same one who does Toshiro Hitsugaya's voice? I didn't notice until I watched Advent Children the other night.

[freezelancer11]

genesis voice acter is oliver quinn right! , that voice for Genesis u used in the video is by oliver quinn not Robin Atkin Downes , Robin Atkin Downes voiced only in dirge of cerberus

[nybigblue44]

hehe awesome! ^_^

[unitedjt345]

LOL the japanese voice actors for Aerith and Zack are together in real life! KAWAIII!!!

[JrockersxVampires]

oh and Steve Blum is Hot!!

[JrockersxVampires]

Gackt sort of took me buy suprise and Zack's actor is the best

[br00t4l1]

@JrockersxVampires they based Genesis off of what Gackt looks like haha i thought that was really cool

[CelinaDaye]

I'm totally flailing at the fact that Rick Gomez voiced Zack Fair. He was amazing as George Luz in Band of Brothers, and now that I found out that he voiced one of my favorite video game characters? Guh. My feelings.

[4evaSoshi]

Whoaaa I didn't know Christy Carlson Romano voiced Yuffie lol. She's from Even Steven and Cadet Kelly.

[leumasramlu9]

i dont think cid's accent fits him well

[DreiofGlamnation666]

unitedjt345 I AGREE

[unitedjt345]

LOVE the pics of GACKT!! :D

[AlexiaTheHedgehog1]

Awesome! I never knew Christie Romano was Yuffie! I love her from 'The Even Stevens'!!

[OBNfull1000]

Takahiro Sakurai and Suzumura Kenichi are AWESOME and are in a lot of anime together. XD

[FieldStrife95]

Rick Gomez...he is ......a HERO! XD Just joking...but his voice, Steve and George's voice are the best *__* .. " I will never be a memory!" ...epic moment v__v

[sanweild]

english voices avec too over playing , compared with japanese voices....

[vincentchaoslimit]

´dont get it. they kept all other actors except Aeriths. they change it so many times. Andrea bowen is the one they should stick to. btw Racheal is really beautiful there =)

[bakufan988]

lol vincent where can i buy a phone and there are monsters everywhere.

[tasmin42]

is it me or does Cloud kind of look like steve burton? and some of the other characters too... like Aerith and Mena? well they look alike to me anyway....

[SnowVilliers231]

i would love to be in ff7 i would voice either cloud Genesis zack or Vincent it would be hard cause i love all 4 characters

[divine0enigma]

"You came for me... that's all the matters." Giggity giggity goo!

[Shidaihono]

@divine0enigma LMAO I thought the same thing



[YuiMisuki]

The japanese voices are he best ^^

[r3dR41n]

Oh yeah, I'm also surprised at how many actors and singers were the voice actors for both languages. I should've looked this info up years ago. Thanks for the video!

[r3dR41n]

OMFG... I've been forever saying that Genesis was a copy of Gackt and I find out now that Gackt IS the VA and thus, the look-a-like... what a revelation for my puny thoughts.

[ff7kevin13]

I coulda swore Barrets english voice was Mr.T

[tifalockheartw]

I love Steve staley and Steve Burton, they are my faces. Thank you for making this.

[MrVchaos]

I picture shogo suzuki to be hotter....i mean Vincent is such a fine piece of ass and the voice just makes it seem like shogo would b hott too.

[nana16183]

but still, out of all the japanese, may it be anime or movie [but mostly anime] finaly fantasy Eng dubs are the best i've heard [especially FFVII]

if you heard the other dubs.. it'll break your ears :x :DDD just sayin my opinion xD

[Akatsukis712]

The voice of Genesis is not Robin Atkin Downes. its Oliver Quinn. if yur wondering how do i know. well i just finish crisis core final fantasy VII, and im on the credits and voice actors and i was looking to see who Rcik Gomez was, and in the game its Oliver Quinn not Robin Atkin Downes, just letting yu all know.

[nana16183]

@Akatsukis712 great point! :3 you're right, i think, in one of the game[probably cthe first ones. i dunno] , that robin atkin downes was the first to voice Genesis, but after releasing the game, he received many negative reviews and so, they changed to Oliver Quinn :3

just read it awhile ago while getting all addicted at all of the characters of FF. :3

[Seieukos]

The only english one I like is Barret.

[AL94RUSS]

7:14 haha lol the same face

[AL94RUSS]

amazing...thank you for this video

[0007Laranja0007]

Last is always the best, and i am refering to the three of them: Sephiroth, George Newbern and Toshiyuki Morikawa. 8D

Sephiroth is hot, his voice actors are hot........makes totally sense to me!!! xD

[Kironic102]

so in japan aerith and Lightining are the same person lol

[TsukiyomiYuuki]

So many steves X.X

[LPfreakGirl7]

My favourites: Cloud: both sounds similar Zack: Rick Gomez (goose bumbs! <3) Aerith: both ^^ Tifa: both again Barret: Beau Billingslea Red XIII: Masachika Ichimura Cait: Greg Ellis Cid: Chris Edgerly Yuffie: Yumi Kakazu Vincent: Steve Blum <3 Kadaj: Showtaro Morikubo Reno: Quinton Flynn Genesis: booooooooth *___* Sephiroth: BOTH *_____* RAWR! <3

[xXsierraXx1997]

lol the guy who plays as cid looks like cid :D

[MsDaneve]

@pbkillstrike I don't know what would one have to do to a woman to make her speak with such a voice.

Some boobs for the end and everyone's satisfied...

[pbkillstrike]

I thought gackt was a guy? way too feminine looking in those photos ._o

[danlinkgan]

OmG TIFA in english is so hot!!! also in JApanase omg they are georgeous

[danlinkgan]

OmG TIFA in english is so hot!!!

[136puppy]

i like kadajs english and japanese voice but the japenese one i like better cause it has more feeling and charector

[madpinoy5683]

"Watashi wa omoi deni wa nara nai sa!"

[bellbell901]

Rick Gomez does a good job as Zack

[chowsinglung90]

OMG, i don't know Genesis voice is GACKT !!!!!

[BeastGirl15]

Steve Burton is hot. Steve plays the voice of Cloud.

[trankwility]

Haha Christy Carlson Romano did a great job with Yuffie.

[Crustyfisherman911]

SPIKE!

[Wolfsrain90]

Am I the only one who prefers Kim Possible as Yuffie over the Katara woman?

[Wolfsrain90]

@draconaxx Oh, gawd. Fuck Genesis.

[sourteeth]

isn't Genesis' eng VA Oliver Quinn in CC? and wasn't downes only in FFVII: DoC?

[ZACKFAIR1205]

@sourteeth Oh, good catch! Right you are. I never noticed that myself, but you're right. And if anything, it's probably better to go with his Crisis Core appearance, since he's much more prominent in that (you could go through all of Dirge and not see him).

[xxNoRulezAllowedxx]

@sourteeth Shit, you're right! :O

[LoubiiLUST]

i love george newbern as sephiroth!! how is it such a cute looking bloke can sound so god damn (sexy) evil!! "Good to see you... Cloud" GAH!

[Kain1990xd]

9:56 snaaaake what are you doing there!!!

[r3dR41n]

@Kain1990xd LOL! I kept racking my brain for this familiar voice! Now that you mentioned Snake, I totally hear it.

[DeathPenaltyCHAOS]

i prefere japanese for everyone but for barret and caith sith. both for Vincent, Ci and, Revee;)

[Xyrsk]

I think the English cast as whole could be fantastic with better voice direction. Like make Steve Burton perform Cloud as soft spoken, but not emotionless or if he's depressed all the time.

[zannadoe86]

@Xyrsk Sorry, but I have to disagree. Cloud's got some serious emotional turmoil in ACC, but he's not the character to just burst out yelling at everyone. Steve Burton has a very subdued emotion in the way he portrays Cloud that fits the character perfectly.

[Aussieroth7]

My vote of preference Cloud: Sakurai Zack: Tie Aerith: Sakamoto Tifa: Tie Barret: Billingslea Red: Tie Cait: Ellis Cid: Tie Yuffie: 2nd English voice Mae Whitman Vincent: Tie Kadaj: Tie Reno: Flynn Genesis: Gackt Sephiroth: MORIKAWA HANDS DOWN!!! Probably tie if it was Crispin Freeman as the English Sephiroth though. Especially since Crispin wanted to be him quite badly and can act at a high level. Anyway, that's my opinion and I hope I didn't sound like an arrogant bastard XD

[Aussieroth7]

Hang on! That was oliver Quinn as Genesis in Crisis Core! I wish it was Robin though. Robin was the guy who gave him the Spanish accent in the end of Dirge of Cerberus!

[patarded9]

Steve Burton is Cloud! Nuff said!

[kittycat0143]

why did they not have romano in kh2? 

[GlueStikkk]

garret's and vincent's voice actors were the best!

[Utauhoshina100]

billingslea's voice for the english version is the best so far.

[Utauhoshina100]

the english version doesn't have alot of... emotion and feeling of the character

[FalcoknightTomoe]

I prefer the japanese voice of Zack than the english voice

[dancros009]

i was looking only for cloud and sephiroth

[Hoboinaboxdestroyer]

Okay, two things. Vincent Valentines Vocal Ventriloquists are the stars of this show, and is Genesis Rhapsodos voiced by a girl?

[xxxprxxxprincess]

@Hoboinaboxdestroyer lol no genesis japanese voice actor is a man, a very famous japanese singer. Genesis was also made after him.

[SelenaValentime]

did steve blum voice......orchimaru from naruto

[valypaly3]

@SelenaValentime yep lol

[SamusAran103]

I think Andrea Bowen does the best voice for Aerith

[89Holyangel]

I really don't like Aeris voice, is so emotionless!!

Mandy Moore did a better job in Kingdom Hearts, even Andrea Bowen in Crisis Core.

The rest of the english cast isn't bad at all!

[Aussieroth7]

@89Holyangel Yeah but some really could do better... Not to mention (apparently) George Newbern does not like voicing Sephiroth... yet Crispin Freeman auditioned for him three times... One guy who usually dubs for Morikawa's works and really wanted to be Sephiroth against a guy who really wanted to be Vincent..... How like life, give it to George -_-.

Still, I love Beau as Barret, Quinton Flynn, Steve Blum and.... well, actually a fair amount of the English cast. They just need better direction

[bethany92596]

@89Holyangel YES YES YES YES YES. thank you. Thats exactly how i feel.

According to the game, Aerith is supposed to be fun and playful. Yeah, she's supposed to be more like a spirit in Advent children... but she should still be slightly bubbly.

[harry3life]

@89Holyangel

what mandy moore was so bad, first time I played kingdom hearts I wanted to tear my ears of after hearing mandy moore, andrea bowen is the best

[goldenphoenixnaruto]

-snort- Can't go anywhere these days without hearing SOMEONE complain about which is better: English or Japanese. Cry me a river.

Aerith...there is a reason she's had three different voice actors for each installment. "WHAT UP FOO, IT'S ME, BARRET!" <3 Lawl, Red XIII has ONE LINE in the entire movie. I also have a problem with Vincent's 'gravelly' voice. I just don't expect it from a bishonen. I like Kadaj's Japanese VA better. Finally, Gackt, 'nuff said. George's lips look like Sephy's lawl!

[kev95]

The English VA's are spot on,

[zekogenoration]

great video i finally know who played their voices now lol thank to my game dissidia ff

[MusicMonkey1394]

i feel stupid... i luv steve burton on gh and i love advent children... i cant belive i just now figured that they are the same...I wonder if he does other voice acting????

[yamiXnight]

I fucking love this!!! <3

[Kagimbrius]

Hmm, why do most of the people watching this prefer the Japanese voice? I'm sure not this many people actually speak Japanese on this video...? I'm just going to guess yall just like reading subtitles... O_o
