Final Fantasy 16: A Humorous Guide to the English Voice Actors
After what felt like an eternity of waiting since 2015, the highly anticipated Final Fantasy 16 has finally emerged from its development dungeon to grace the PS5 as a timed exclusive. Welcome to the world of Valisthea, where magical droughts called the Blight have thrown the six nations into civil unrest. It’s up to our courageous heroes, Clive Rosfield, Jill Warrick, Cidolfus Telamon, and Clive’s loyal hound Torgal, to unravel the mysteries of the Blight, confront the demonic Eikon Ifrit, and perhaps even discover a thing or two about themselves along the way.
Now, let’s dive into the realm of voice acting, where the Final Fantasy games have been delighting fans with their multilingual performances for the past two decades. Who could forget the joyous surprise of hearing FF10’s Wakka voiced by none other than John DiMaggio, the legendary Bender from Futurama? And let’s not overlook Tara Strong, who gave us the unforgettable Rikku, as well as Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls and Harley Quinn. Now, let’s take a look at the English voice actors who lend their talents to Final Fantasy 16.
9. Ben Starr – The Voice of Clive Rosfield

Our valiant hero, Clive, may have been denied the prestigious title of heir to the Grand Duchy of Rosaria due to his lack of magical abilities. But hey, not everyone needs a glowing wand to be a hero, right? After losing his father and brother, being betrayed by his mother, and enduring the chains of slavery, Clive rises from the ashes to join Cidolfus’ rebel group and embark on a journey to save Valisthea. Voicing this magical underdog is the one and only Ben Starr, who didn’t initially audition for the lead role. But lo and behold, his talent shone through, and he claimed the top spot. While Ben may be a newbie to the world of voice acting, he’s no stranger to the spotlight, with appearances in Netflix’s “You,” and the romantic comedy “You & Me.” He even dons the scrubs as Dr. Christopher Priestley in the drama series “Jamestown.”
8. Jonathan Case & Logan Hannan – The Rosfield Brothers

As for Joshua Rosfield, Clive’s magically talented younger brother, the role falls to Jonathan Case, who brings the character to life with his mesmerizing voice. And let’s not forget the younger version of Joshua, whose voice is expertly portrayed by Logan Hannan, a talent who lent his voice to Hugo in the A Plague Tale games and Custard in Earwig and The Witch.
7. Susannah Fielding & Charlotte Burney – The Dynamic Duo: Jill Warrick

Meet the fearless leading lady of Final Fantasy 16, Jill Warrick, a princess with a fate similar to Clive’s misfortunes. After being held hostage as a political pawn, Jill discovers her icy powers as the Dominant of the Ice Eikon Shiva. Forced into slavery, she eventually escapes, teaming up with Clive and Cidolfus to save Valisthea. Voiced by Susannah Fielding, who has a mixed bag of roles in both voice acting and live-action, she brings an air of sophistication to the character. And let’s not forget the young Jill, played masterfully by Charlotte Burney, who previously wowed us as Amicia in the A Plague Tale games.

This time, we have Cidolfus Telamon, the Dominant of the Lightning Eikon Ramuh and head honcho of a rebel group fighting for the freedom of all magic users. Voiced by the talented Ralph Ineson, who has an impressive acting resume in his arsenal, including roles in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Chernobyl, and Guardians of the Galaxy, among others.

5. David Menkin – Unleash the Darkness with Barnabas Tharmr

In the realm of darkness, we meet Barnabas Tharmr, the Dominant of the Darkness Eikon Odin. Raised in a cult that worships the fallen civilization known as Ultima, Barnabas finds himself entangled in a cosmic power struggle. David Menkin lends his voice to this mysterious character, building on his previous accomplishments as Magnus in FFXIV: Shadowbringers and the Rangers in Arknights. Oh, and you might be surprised to learn that he’s also the voice of Jack and Porter in the CGI Thomas and Friends series. Talk about versatility!
4. Nina Yndis – Conquer the Skies with Benedikta Harman

Benedikta Harman, the Dominant of the Wind Eikon Garuda and leader of Waloed’s “intelligencer” unit, personifies both clinical precision and indomitable power. Portraying this formidable character is Nina Yndis, who previously played Edna in Bravely Default and Birna in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. With Benedikta in her capable hands, we can expect some epic battles in the skies of Final Fantasy 16.
3. Stewart Clarke – Unravel the Secrets of Dion Lesage

Prepare yourselves for Dion Lesage, the Crown Prince of Sanbreque, leader of the Dragoon soldiers, and the Dominant of the Light Eikon Bahamut. This archetypal hero may give Clive a run for his money. And hey, did you hear the news? Final Fantasy 16 even got itself banned in Saudi Arabia for depicting a gay romance involving Dion and a character named Terence. Phew, talk about igniting controversy! Voicing this complex character is Stewart Clarke, who donned his vocal talents for Ethan Reed in Horizon: Forbidden West and Eygon in Valkyrie Elysium.
2. Alex Lanipekun – Enter the Battlefield with Hugo Kupka

Joining the fray is Hugo Kupka, the Dominant of the Earth Eikon Titan and leader of the Dhalmekian Republic’s army. This itchy-triggered warlord loves nothing more than engaging in skirmishes with enemy forces. Partnered with Benedikta, Waloed, and Ultima, he poses a formidable challenge to our heroes. Voiced by Alex Lanipekun, known for his roles as Nil in Horizon: Zero Dawn, Sokhaa Esof and Andraknor in Mass Effect: Andromeda, and even making appearances in the UK drama series “The Moonstone” and Doctor Who: The Monthly Adventures as Z22.
1. John Hopkins – Remember the Legacy of Elwin Rosfield

And finally, we have Elwin Rosfield, the father figure who, despite his unexpected demise, continues to shape the destiny of his sons. John Hopkins takes the voxels of Elwin and gives him the gravitas and emotional depth he deserves. And let’s not forget John’s impressive repertoire, including roles in the HITMAN trilogy as Lucas Grey, Bard in Anthem, and Hendrik in Dragon Quest XI. With John lending his voice, we’re in for a touching and memorable performance.
