One of the big changes that Final Fantasy 7 Remake made was adding fully-voiced characters. The original Final Fantasy 7 didn’t have the technology to have voiced characters, and FF7 Remake was able to create a full cast of of voice actors that have appeared in other popular TV shows, video games, and movies. These talents have come together to give FF7 Remake a diverse group of younger voice actors and seasoned veterans of the field. Because some of these actors have long resumes, players may recognize certain character voices.
Final Fantasy 7 had a movie, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, that released in 2005. The movie had a full voice cast that went on to help voice characters in spin-off FF7 games, like Vincent Valentine’s English voice actor Steve Blum, who also voices Vincent in the the 2006 FF7 spinoff Dirge of Cerberus. However, the voice actors from the 2000s don’t appear to be reprising their roles in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, allowing new voice actors to pick up the mantel for these well-loved characters.
