Peter was such a Mensch and his comments were so awesome that I didn't feel like editing it down much so I've added time stamps for easy skipping if you can't watch the whole episode. But, trust me when I say that it was an amazing convo. He really appreciates all of you and the fanbase a lot. Apologies we couldn't get to all the questions but he answered many of them as he spoke! Thanks for the amazing questions too :)
In case Peter sees this comment, Ryne does indeed mean "blessing" in Fae. Urianger says it immediately after Thancred names her.
Ok... I think I can speak for everybody here, if I say that now I want a video with Emet-Selch voice actor °w°
👀😳
Yes. Just yes. There's so many memes with Emet-Selch. Just. So many.
Sassy grandpa!
@@MarcoMeatball Please, I have only one request, please. If you will do a video with him (or also with other Square Enix voice actors/actess), please ask hiw how the adaptation works for him, what happen, if he see something about that part of the translation of the game. Because FF14 has a lot of changes in the dialogues and in the info that will arrive to the player, and these we've seen tons of changes/differences in other Square Enix games too, in the last years (for example FF7R, but also FF7R trailers and FF16 trailers). I know that usually they need to do an adaptation, for things that are difficult to translate, but they're not supposed to change the informations that the spectator should receive. A japanese player and a non-japanese player are supposed to receive the same info/same sensations from the game. However, the english adaptation did tons of changes in those games and there are also problematic changes. An example is the dialogue with Emet before the fight against Hades: in english he watch the player and say "No, it cannot be!", however in japanese he uses another phrase, which implies that he recognizes the Ascian of our shape, and the japanese player understand it, however in english it's not so clear and tons of player didn't understand it (also because, if I remember well, in that point of the story we don't know it too). Or, to make other examples, in FF7R the english adaptation changed a part Jessie personality, which appear more acid in a scene when she is only supposed to do a joke and bee more cheerful. Or again, in FF16 trailers, they changed tons of info, for example in the first trailer they totally changed the phrase that say that Joshua (the child) is the MC brother. Those are all important info, both for the plot and/or the world/character building. However the english adaptation changed all of them and that's why I'm soo afraid of english adaptation for the future Square Enix games, because if they do all those changes, at the end of the day we will not play the "true game", as the authors wanted them to be in their mind. We will play them through an invasive adaptation filter.
I also want to see one with G'raha Tia.
His goodbye to Minfilia gets me everytime 😭😭 I love him thank you for this interview
My pleasure
If you got to speak with Emet Selchs voice actor that would be amazing. I would love to hear his thoughts on how beloved Emet has become in the FFXIV community when Emet started out as our main antagonist
I'll do some research. Hoping this video does well so I can convince the others easier :)
wtf you all have with emet selch
@@AAA99953 he’s daddy?
Emet!!! Please interview his voice actor
Engagement and appreciation for Rene Zagger is something this community needs!
Thancred becoming Dadcred is the greatest glow-up. Like Peter said, clearly nothing that wasn't there already to some degree, but getting to see it brought to the surface and developed was such good character storytelling. It's almost comical how perfectly the role shift from DPS to Tank summarizes his character journey, going from "I'm just here to hit stuff" to "I will take hits to protect other people". * *chef's kiss* *
By ShB but especially in EW, I always viewed Thancred and my WoL as being kinda besties. Like, they're just on the same wavelength about a lot, and where they differ they tend to balance each other. Special place in my heart for Thancred, yeah. :)
I would love to see René Zagger coming to chat (voice of Emet-Selch). He's done such a fantastic job creating one of Final Fantasy as a series best villains, and I'd love to hear him talk about it, as well as his reaction to Emet memes.
24:47 HE SAID THE THING !!!!
Aaah I'm screaming! Thancred has always been a favorite of mine and I always get weepy during the Ryne/Thancred scenes because of how well the voice acting is. Peter Bramhil really knows how to use his voice to evoke emotions from the listeners! A talented VA and I'm so happy I could see him come as a guest for one of my favorite CZcamsrs 🤩
I love the Endwalker trailer but they really set the bar so damn high with the Shadowbringers trailer, literal chills beyond chills. The Sin Eater descending from the golden sky, the job change animations, the timing of the music drops, complete masterpiece.
I really genuinely think so too.
Hahaha! "My turn!" Is great. I frequently have Thancred and Estinien in my dungeon parties. The squabbles over mobs are legendary!
😂😂😂
It's crazy to me hearing the voice actors never really met. Like up until the end of EW the chemistry and bond between the characters feels so real, which in most part is thanks due to the VA's work in showing emotions.
I miss the old "My turn!". :( What was wrong with it?! I was shocked to hear the change on my first post-patch trust run. I mean, Estinien is still yelling anyway, and he's not the only one, and good share of Thancred's battle shouts belong to "his loud-and-emotional self" too.
Thank you for the great video! It was good to see the man largely responsible for our charming GNB spymaster. Good writing is important, but it's VA who gives character soul and makes him..real. Hopefully, Thancred had already wrapped up whatever he was doing, because I want my best tank back for the new upcoming dungeon!
My pleasure Im glad you enjoyed the interview and Peter.
I think the new "my turn" suits Thancreds character a bit better.
"This is Thancred" 24:47
Thank you for this interview! Awesome work, Marco and Peter! Some interviews I see don't feel very respectful to the interviewee's time or experience, so I appreciate the space you both gave each other. I'll never forget how amazing he was when my friends bought me a cameo of Peter slating my name the same way he says "My Turn!" Love that he's seen the scenes and knows the memes! Would love to see Jeremy Ang Jones in one of these~!
Hey friend, I'll do my best. I love this cast, as you know, if I could do interviews which each of them I absolutely would.
@@MarcoMeatball no sweat! Keep doing what you're doing! you're amazing!
I met Peter at a Final Fantasy Convention in London this year. I cosplayed SB Thancred and I loved that I got the chance to show it off to him. Peter was an incredibly kind and genuine person and I'm really glad I got to meet him. He signed my Gunblade which was amazing!
He’s such a genuine dude
Omg. I was wondering why they changed "MY TURN!" I miss the old delivery.
Thank you for putting this interview together. You did a great job with it. Lots of interesting insight. Thanks for including my question, hope it wasn't too left field.
thanks so much :) it wasn't at all.
MARCO!! ;A; I didn’t know my question would get in there, it brings me so much joy to know he enjoyed himself! Peter is such a sweetheart and I’m so thankful to have seen this interview. Everyone’s questions were awesome, You guys were great, thank you for doing this 💎
This is Thancred! Like actually this time!
I always enjoy long videos cus I can just sit down and snack for about an hour. It's so cool you got Mr. Bramhill on for this one, Marco!
And he’s so nice
Peter was fantastic! Such a gem and I'm glad he is a part of this world!
What an incredible interview! He looked genuinely happy to be there and chat with you about the game and his experiences 😄 Im excited to hopefully see more of this!
Holy moly, This is Thancred! Thank you for the interview Marco, havent watched yet, but sure it will be a banger.
I'd absolutely love to see you interview Robyn Addison (Y'shtola/Titania).
This is a great bit of chit chat that gives an understanding into Peter's voice acting, how he immediately thought of Cary Elwes in Princess Bride as being similar to Thancred. He seemed to thoroughly enjoy Shadowbringers trailer. Though, only those with no soul don't like Shadowbringers.
Thank you for connecting us to our heroes, Marco! ❤
This was a most well spent hour, indeed! Loved the interview and it would be wonderful to see more like this! And of course. There couldn't be a finer Thankred.
He's lovely and I'll definitely do my best. I didn't cut any of it because it was so nice that I felt it deserved the time.
Now, this is Thancred.
Indeed 😂
Now THIS is Thancred.
Amazing video and interview! Peter is such a kindhearted and interesting guy! I'm surprised my little meme question about "MY TURN!" not only got answered, but he brought it up himself!
Y’shtola VA next!
“Water water, froth and foam!” 😂
Oh, my husbando voice! I love it so much as I love the british accent. Thank you, it was an amazing interview, it's nice to know that the VA of my favorite scion is also a kind, talented professional and will be forever in our hearts when we comeback to remember all those moments when we felt joy, sadness, hype, tenderness, anguish, love, all of this thanks to his hard work.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Really fascinating peaking behind the curtain to see all the aspects of separation, for lack of a better term, that goes into recording this game. Voice acting is so strange to think about because the experience of the actors really is so different than what the players ultimately experience. Thank you for the interview!
So, this is Thancred.
This was an amazing interview, found myself smiling through the whole thing. I personally think you were an excellent host for this. Keep up the good work Marco! I'm looking forward to what comes next!
This was absolutely fantastic. All I needed was to know that he was aware of the memes XD I love that he's so chill and willing to talk with you. He's so engaged with Thancred's storyline and growth and I'm happy to see that voicing him has been a great experience.
Awesome interview and talk with Peter! You did a great job, Marco! Hope you are able to get other FFXIV VA's in the future! And yeah, I miss the old "MY turn!!" voice line. They toned it down considerably.
Thanks! I’m really glad you liked it :)
Holly crap interview sorta vids like this are always awesome. Even though havent played no where near enough of ff14, still awesome :D
It's so gratifying to see the voice actors having fun and enjoying community content!
What a fun interview. Interesting how he never met Ryne till much later.
This was a great interview. Peter seems like such a sweetheart and had me chuckling throughout the video.
He really was :)
This was a wonderful interview.Thank you for sharing your time,
❤️🙏
That was simply amazing. I loved every minute of it. Thank you so much!
Thats so sick, what an awesome guest. You love to see this.
I've started doing the dungeons with NPC's and Thancred is always my tank. He's also my favourite scion. 😍🥰
❤️
This was wonderful. I loved the entire interview.
What a great interview! I hope you get to interview more of the VAs. As much as I would love to hear from G'raha/Jonathan Bailey, he would probably be hard to get with his recent spike in fame with Bidgerton. I always wonder if he knows how loved G'raha is. 😭
Emet or Zenos would also be amazing.
The interview was wonderful! I really enjoyed every second of it, getting insights into how the voice actors work and how they do their beautiful performances, it's great! Peter is also such a friendly person, it would be lovely to meet him in person! Thancred's growth through the story was phenomenal, and I think most evident of all the Scions, when we meet him in Shadowbringers it's like he's a whole new man, but it doesn't feel jarring in a large part, I think, because of Peter's brilliant performance (and good writing of course). It makes sense for the character, makes sense for what he's been through, and his relationship with Ryne.
Fantastic piece of content, thanks for this.
My absolute pleasure
this is amazing, thanks for doing this.
My pleasure!
What an amazing and intriguing interview! Peter has such a fun and thoughtful energy. Hope to see more interviews in the future! Would love to see Alisae, Y'shtola, Emet, honestly whoever! This cast is amazing and I love to see how each member tackles and evolved into their role!
IIRC You said the interview would be ~20mins, but I'm happy that theres so much more :D
Peter was super nice, and it was a joy listening to you guys!
24:41 HE SAID THE THING!
What a cool guy for real.
And again amazing job, keep it up :)
Thank youuuuu
SO want to watch this but heard your warning about spoilers for endwalker and I haven't started it yet 😭 May have to come back to this video in the future to avoid spoilers, or if someone doesn't mind listing when the spoilers are so I can avoid them I would be indebted to you 😭 Regardless thanks so much for all your work Marco!! So so glad I found you recently and cannot wait to watch this when I can !!!
In truth im not entirely sure there are huge spoilers. Mostly for shadowbringers. Hm. Let me do a relisten unless someone beats me to it
I didn't spot any EW spoilers on my way through. If anything, just a meme line out of context that I'm sure you've already been exposed to if you've seen any thancred-related meme since EW launched. Definitely nothing major. ShB spoilers for sure though, many of those.
Gosh I wish I saw this live.. I LOVE that you do these type of videos where you interview voice actors/singers from FF14
Thanks Nizo!! This wasn't live only because I don't want them to feel it's a performance so I can get their most authentic and comfortable answers :)
This was a great interview (and I'm happy he likes the memes!)
I’m glad you liked the interviews!
That was the quickest hour I swear I could hear you both talk for hours. What a great interview/talk. I hope you do more of these and I hope this video does well for you. So good! ♥
Thanks so much Sydney! The better it does the easier to convince the other cast members, I reckon. Really appreciate it.
Lovely interview, Peter is a delight
He sure is
This was amazing!
This is Thancred
What a wonderful 56 minutes. Thank you both.
Thank you Richard!!
This... this IS Thancred... 🥲
I loved this interview, I myself started the game as Gladiator, so starting in ul'dah I been with Peter/Thancred since the very beginning and I hope a long time into the future. There have been others come that tie his place in the scions, but hes been my favorite since the beginning.
So glad you like it
it's always a strange feeling when my question gets asked, not totally sure how to feel about it. Definitely felt like it got a good answer though!
It was a great question :)
Loved this
Im glad!!!!
Excellent content
24:46
HE SAID THE THING
Omg 🤣 There is something incredibly comedian about hearing "I'm an orphan" and "This is Thancred" back to back
I agree 😂
Very insightful! Thanks for organising this, Marco! If you could somehow wrangle interviews with other XIV VAs, that would be amazing. There's a lot of extremely talented actors in the cast, and I feel like there's a bit of a void in hearing their thoughts on their roles. I'm sure there are many questions for them.
That’s the plan one step at a time! Hopefully soon.
@@MarcoMeatball 👀 Ohoho! Then I will be looking forward to the future with anticipation! Also I've been loving the recent thumbnails! Keep it up mate! 😄
52:12 - HE SAID THE THING!
I think it's a HUGE shame voice actors don't play this game.........
The Japanese voice actors play this game. They watch the story.
They go live with the producer to talk about it, and how confused they were about their lines and looked forward to the story.
Or some who thought they understood the story but when they played it, it was complete plot twist.
I highly recommend to play it even if it is your voice, this way you only get BETTER at the voice and understand entirety of concept.
This game certainly are not for kids
A little late to see this one, but another excellent interview!
Please can you just go ahead and interview every voice actor ever??
Lol in all seriousness, an interview of Emet's va would be something I would love, if he would be up for it!
I've been trying but unfortunately I'm not sure how many I'll be able to do.
This is Thancred
52:46 He got his turn back.
No one:
Thancred: 24:47
I wish we'd had him shout "Hibachi!" and "Whore!" .... maybe just the first one...
It's VERY Misheard/Meme'd about what he's saying during the 11th Fight in Eden...
(It's "Have at you" and the other one is just him doing like a loud exertion/grunt ... which happens to just sound like that XD)
i came here from someone shouting about this video in game! o:
Oh shit really?!?
That is thancred.
omg ITS THANCRED
When you close your eyes this just sounds like a poor audio quality of Thancred having an interview with some random intervewer after they've saved the world and all have retired x'D All I hear is Thancred's responses.
Are you planning to try and reach out to all of the cast? I would absolutely love to see an interview with G'raha's VA!
Ideally :)
Yes please Graha and Y’shtola please…
It's my turn!
this might be random but ive been playing a game called kenshi and thought wow this music is amazing. would love to have your thoughts on it!
Imagine if we could choose all three roles, and switch between them in a dungeon like in the trailer 😅😅😅
if you want absolute eargasm check out Darkest Dungeon OST - The Final Combat [EXTENDED + NARRATOR QUOTES] , get some paper wipes ready. you might need them.
Thancred Christmas Album when? :V
Great, could you make another interview for Robyn Addison?
If Robyn wants to! And can!
@@MarcoMeatball I hope she would, it would be lovely. Wanna see her once again saying Foam and Froth.. :D
I gotta say if it weren't for shadowbringers I wouldn't be here
Not being given much context and not syncing up with your fellow actors will always be the most confusing aspect of voice acting for me. It's astonishing people manage to work in that process. Makes me wonder how much better it would be if the extra time was taken to give proper acting context.
NUGGETS.
😂
To the day, ShB trailer is the effing coolest trailer XIV has... ARR's is second.
I love the smile on both your faces as the trailer really takes off. 🥹
I had this absolute fan freak out moment when I realized he was coming up next.
24:46 HE SAID THE THING
