December 20, 201410 yr Author I very much doubt that. "It has also been mentioned that Square Enix does not want to reuse voice actors too much, so anyone who has played a lead role before is unlikely to get another Final Fantasy lead part soon, and so, even if Ashe's voice actress Kari Wahlgren submitted a good audition, Square would not want to cast her as Lightning." http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIII

I'm sure if a VA auditioned and they had a significantly different voice as well as being the best fit they'd spring for it

If they ever did a Dissidia with Noctis and Yuri did his voice it would be very awkward with Cecil.
December 20, 201410 yr Of course. If they ever did a Dissidia with Noctis and Yuri did his voice it would be very awkward with Cecil. would it though? I looked up Sasuke's voice, and it sounds pretty different from Cecil's, I don't think there'd be an issue
December 20, 201410 yr Nah, I think Square Enix has some sort of rule where a main character can't voice another one in the FF main entries. Like the voice actor of Princess Ashe couldn't voice Lightning even if she put in a great audition. What about Liam O'Brian? He does the voice of Caius Ballad from FFXIII-2 and Kain from FFIV. I'd say they're both main characters
December 20, 201410 yr Oh my god, that looks great! I really like how the game looks! The ice place and the cities were great tho. Ignis's voice is even more weird now. Edited December 20, 201410 yr by Shana09
December 20, 201410 yr I admit that was an awesome trailer but.....am I the only one who noticed the issue with the sound mixing?I can barely hear any of the characters talking cuz the music is waaay louder than the dialogue
December 20, 201410 yr I was hoping for a release window.....didn't even get a 'Coming Soon' Overall the trailer looked pretty epic though Edited December 20, 201410 yr by Mysterious Figure
December 20, 201410 yr I admit that was an awesome trailer but.....am I the only one who noticed the issue with the sound mixing?I can barely hear any of the characters talking cuz the music is waaay louder than the dialogue this happens a lot with Square, they simply have someone adding in the raw voice files and overlaying music, rather than the proper mixing of the real game.
