Hello all!
I have always wanted to bring some life to those classic JRPG's that never had their own voices! So, I am bringing together a cast of enthusiastic fans of the genre to create a compilation of fully voiced cutscenes from the Final Fantasy series. These will be videos uploaded to my YouTube in an episodic fashion. While there are numerous characters in Final Fantasy (and JRPG's in general), I am listing the main and supporting cast, along with extras.
SYNOPSIS
The sequel to the 1991 title Final Fantasy IV. Set 17 years after Final Fantasy IV, The After Years follows the original cast and their descendants in episodic tales as a new villain appears, setting into action a mysterious chain of events that threatens the fate of the Blue Planet.
**IMPORTANT**
REQUIREMENTS
DEADLINE
The "deadline" is subject to change, we will release episodes every week to bi-weekly.
I will most likely be casting some roles ahead of schedule, so we can have ample enough time to record, as there are many lines!
Please try to match as closely as possible to the original voice actor: https://youtu.be/bhw37vmFgCI?t=57
The Grandmaster of the Monks and King of Fabul. He aids Cecil on behalf of his kingdom.
Taciturn, humble and polite, yet fiercely protective, Yang dislikes hurting others or involving them in dangerous situations, but is always grateful for assistance. His high standing in Fabul means that he has garnered much respect, and the only person he appears to fear is his own wife. He is very protective of his daughter, Ursula.
Voice type: Low-Mid - confident - fierce - tough - strong willed
True strength lies within the heart, not the body. Have the heart to trust in your companions, and strength will follow each one of you.
My answer is firm, my daughter.
Ursula, listen to me. You are the crown princess of Fabul, and you should not treat such a title lightly.
Luca is the tomboy princess of the Underworld who enjoys engineering - a skill she puts to use working as Cid’s apprentice. She has a crush on Palom, but is strong enough to put her feelings aside for more important matters, such as her desire to explore the surface world. Luca is fiercely protective of her mechanical dolls Calca and Brina, who assist her in battle.
Be full of energy in your delivery!
"Ha hah! Looks like you could use a favor right about now, Rydia!"
(Cid comments on her change in appearance) "Do you like it? I was never a fan of dwarven fashion, really."
(Her father mentions her crush on Palom) "Aaagh! Hey, hey whoooa! You're not saying anything! La la laaa!!!"
The secretary to King Edward of Damcyan, Harley acts as an aide and emissary, and is a well-read and insightful scholar of the world.
Envision a well spoken, put together, headmistress when delivering your lines.
It is a great honor to hear such compliments, Your Highness.
I believe there are times when the head of a kingdom must act with a firm, calculated hand.
Your Highness. If I may presume to ask, please allow me to handle the investigation.
One of the Eblan Four. He is a ninja boy whose skill would put an adult to shame, being as quick-witted and agile as the wind, just as his alias implies. He is passionate for the town of Mysidia and its citizens due to the time he spent there under Edge's orders.
Ah, our wise master understands even a woman's heart.
Master, our chief advisor is right! You always try to bear all the burden by yourself!
Then let this mission be a test of our readiness!
Cecil and Rosa's fifteen-year-old son, who joined the Red Wings in hope of following in his father's footsteps. He is unsure of where his path will take him in life, but approaches everything with passion and bravery.
My father... and my mother... have nothing to do with this! I... I'll get through this... by myself!
I haven't made up my mind about becoming a paladin yet.
I, Ceodore, of the Red Wings of Baron... will now return to Baron, sir!
The daughter of Yang and Sheila, as well as Cecil and Rosa's god-daughter. As Yang's daughter, she is the Princess of the Kingdom of Fabul. Ursula wants to be strong like her father, but he refuses to teach her.
Please, Father, I beg of you! Allow me to train with you!
I may be princess of this kingdom, but even more than that, I am a proud citizen of Fabul! Is it so wrong for me to become a stronger and better person?
The Wind Crystal symbolizes everything Fabul stands for! Handing it over to them is the same as abandoning what this kingdom stands for!
Palom is a casual show-off, even to adults, and refers to himself as "The Mysidian Genius" or "Prodigy". This, combined with his inflated ego, causes him to get a little out of hand, leading to Porom having to settle him down, either with words or by smacking him on the head.
Aim for a similar delivery to the original VA's performance of Palom as a child: https://youtu.be/iY1aCrYtcfs?t=509
"Lord?" You know, you're about several decades older than me. Did you forget?
Figure it out for yourself, why don't you? You're a grown man, right?
Are you guys even trying? Is it really that hard?
Their identities are initially unknown, and they go by the name of Mysterious Girl. They have come to Earth from the True Moon to seize the Crystals. The Maenads resemble Summoner Rydia and share her power to call forth Eidolons. They are soft-spoken and curt, yet somehow threatening all the same.
A half-breed. As expected...
Your power. I am here to take it.
I want to test your resolve.
A talented Epopt trainee determined to join the Epopts of Troia. Leonora knows White Magic from her Epopt training and learns Black Magic from Palom through training in the Tower of Trials.
You... you are being rude!
White magic or black magic... both can provide me with the spiritual training I need!
I look forward to training with you, Lord Palom.
The stalwart leader of the Eblan Four. He is a warmhearted, honorable man of few words.
We've come here to defend our honor, my lord.
I will do whatever it takes, Master!
Even with the four of us together, we were like mere children against your assault.
Izayoi is one of the Eblan Four. She is a ninja who views battle in a calm and collected manner. She is known to make use of her other assets, though she views herself as a ninja first, a woman second.
We are still lacking in every way.
Hold your tongue, Tsukinowa.
But your arts can be used for more than the taking of someone's life, Master. As long as we have yet to meet our full potential... We must continue to strive for the limits of human ability!
One of the Eblan Four. He is an older ninja with similar battle prowess as Edge Geraldine, whom he views as his master.
Tolerant as always. Sacrificing your own time to offer each of us your training... I, Zangetsu, could hope for no higher honor in my lifetime!
It may not be long before the tower is set in motion again, my lord.
That monster was far stronger than anything else I've encountered here.
Biggs appears as a Red Wings soldier who protects Prince Ceodore from an attack led by the Mysterious Girl. It is revealed that he was actually part of the army that captured the Water Crystal of Mysidia with Cecil at the beginning of Final Fantasy IV. Much more aggressive and short tempered than Wedge.
Brace yourself, Ceodore!
How's it feel to be a knight?
Looks like you’ve got at least half a backbone in you. Get back here alive, or forget about making the Red Wings.
Wedge appears as a Red Wings soldier who protects Prince Ceodore from an attack led by the Mysterious Girl. It is revealed that he was actually part of the army who captured the Water Crystal of Mysidia with Cecil at the beginning of Final Fantasy IV. Much kinder and uplifting than Biggs.
I can certainly understand what you're going through, my lord... But considering your bloodline, there's nothing for you to be worried about.
Prince Ceodore! May you have the best of luck in battle!
Yes, my lord. You have inherited the blood of two great heroes: King Cecil the paladin and Queen Rosa the white mage.
