    This will sound wildly corny but I genuinely got tears in my eyes from thinking about the fan/critic reactions to FF16. This is such an important franchise to me. The way he describes 8 is the way I felt about 7 and I’ve been a fan ever since. I’m happy new fans will get that feeling and I’m so proud of the team that’s made it possible.

    That said, I hope this game is the best FF game ever made. Hearing Bens interviews, I feel like he’s one of us that got his dream to be in an FF game. Im so proud of a man I never heard of a few weeks ago, and feel lucky we have someone that cares as much as we do.

    Fantastic interview. Its refreshing to see people like Ben who are so passionate about FF get the role, because as mentioned its quite rare. And not that someone who isnt passionate about a franchise couldnt perform well but from what i’ve heard so far i think Ben’s performance is going to set a few benchmarks for voiceacting, really impressive.
    I think, or would guess, that passion plays a part in how the endproduct turns out to be.
    Edit: I really found the format of this interview refreshing as well.

    LOVE that he mentions EVerybodys Gone To The Rapture, that game gets slept on so much and its not fair, the story is so engaging and intriguing and everyone should give it a try! the fact that hes such an indie lover just makes me like him even more, i hope he gets so many more roles in videogames cos he absolutely killed it as Clive, and he obv has such a passion for games!!

  • @nibelungvalestiii
    @nibelungvalestiii Před rokem +1

    I am glad Ben could describe his feeling how he had beaten FF8. I feel same energy of connection to the game but it is with FF7, my very first FF game. I used my savings to buy the game because of the CD cover art. The funny thing is, early hours of the game I did not own PSX Memory Card, until one of my friend told me that I should buy Memory Card. It was interesting later on because I got the Memory Card from my Grandma (as now she is watching me from above). Not only the experience with FF7, but also the person involved in my life during the time I beat the game, it always remain in my heart. That’s how my emotional connection with this franchise. Every numbered fantasy series has it own story. I am happy how Ben give it all when it comes to VA for FF16. Good job! You deserved many appreciation!

  • @ryanrushford7918
    @ryanrushford7918 Před rokem +3

    I can’t believe how similar Ben’s experience with FFVIII was compared to mine. It was my very first FF too. The game was a safe haven for me growing up too, I made such a connection to the entire game as well. I’m so happy for him to be able to work on a FF game as good as XVI, that must literally be a dream come true. I hope we see more of him in the future.

    OMG why is Ben Starr's experience with FFVIII all of ours? Also I did no like 10, so I have been out of the FF world for over 20 years. I just want to thank everyone at Square for putting out such a great game in FFXVI that not only am I back and immersed in this world, it's rekindled my love of my past FF games and I'm currently playing the 8 remaster all over again, with plans to go through 7 again (OG game) and even finally play through 6 which people have encouraged me to do for years.
    I cannot understate how much I loved 16, and how great art doesn't just inspire love for that piece of art, but also elevates your love for art in general and makes you seek out even more art around you.

    Amazing interview, very relaxed and calming. Loved listening to it while I did other stuff. What Ben said about having an emotional connection with a game is exactly how I feel like. I've noticed recently, the games I've been buying (like diablo 4 for example) are more so with the possibility of playing with friends but I will not remember anything from the game, not like I remember things from Dragon Age or Inside, or ICO. Kinda made me reevaluate things and just save myself some money for the games I'm actually interested in like story/character driven games.

    While FFX is the one I resonated with the most even today. I have a soft spot for 8. Particularly because the 1st time I fought Ultimacia every party member except Rinoa fell and she was in her Sorcerer state so I had no control over her and both she and Ultimacia were slinging spells at each other. With really low hp on both sides. The rng gods were on my side because Rinoa won the fight won the spell slinging with 1hp left. It was so harrowing. Good times 😊

  • @lorenzolyleabadia1669
    @lorenzolyleabadia1669 Před rokem +1

    I am glad that Final Fantasy VIII is getting love even though it is one of my least favorite ones. I used to love VIII a lot as well but as I grew older and revisited all the old Final Fantasy games, it is hard to ignore VIII's major flaws.
    I find that the story went downhill when Irvine revealed that we were all childhood friends. The story moving forward from there is moving too quickly and Squalls character development also went by fast. His interest in Rinoa felt so sudden. There wasn't a proper progression to let their relationship seem believable. Zidane and Garnet's relationship was better and felt more organic.
    However, the saving grace of VIII are the optional contents. Collecting all the GFs is still enjoyable and creating the most broken junction set up for all characters still feels rewarding.
    I'd say VIII is a solid 7/10 for me. The story isn't just doing it for me. A lot of interesting concepts but most of them were executed poorly.
