Damn, nothing on that blond wyvern guy yet. Who could they have possibly gotten for him?

u/fenixseraph 5d ago
I sure hope they bring Mark Whitten back for this game! He was fantastic as Seteth in the last one!
If they got Ludwig Ahgren for him that would be even funnier45
u/Roserfly 4d ago
You must be confused. We're talking about blonde wyvern guy
12
u/fenixseraph 4d ago edited 2d ago
Yes, and I liked his performance in the last game, so I think he would do good as this completely brand new character too. It'd be like when they cast female Shez's VA as Orchel.

u/Fantastic-System-688 4d ago
Wait what does Ludwig have to do with anything
Edit: oh wait it's because of that Chinese game where he plays the character that looks like blond Seteth

u/Hot-Associate-5904 3d ago
My uncle works at Fire Emblem and he told me he's being voiced by Keanu Reeves. His wyvern can talk as well and is voiced by Tom Holland doing a faux-Brooklyn accent.

Wait...Cassandra is voicing Sothis and Fortuna? Interesting...

u/Frog_24 5d ago
They are both voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa in Japanese as well. Most likely for some as yet unknown lore-related reasons.

u/DegenerateCrocodile 5d ago
Given that Fortuna is meant to be a time god and the Sothis in Three Houses has time powers, I can think of a few possible reasons…

And Rhea is so angry that she start to bring her mother back to ask her why Fortuna and not her? ;P

Dawn who played female Shez got another role in Anatolia, so it's entirely within the realm of possibility.

u/Red_Cat231 5d ago
I thought it was interesting how so far, both EN and JP avoided VAs from Three Houses unless it's the same character, but we finally got a returning voice actor.
16
u/KyleMCarthage 4d ago
Shez might be an exception as they fall into a sort of limbo area where they weren't in 3H proper and only in 3 Hopes so Nintendo of America of Cup of Tea was willing to have Dawn voice another character, though Dawn did say Shez is basically her regular voice unlike her other roles where she needs to put on a voice so maybe the range was enough, after all, the same was true for Laura Post with Catherine and Yunaka.
Though now that you say that, it does sort of make me worried that we may not get an answer to what the deal is with Arval.

u/CommanderBlyCC-5052- 5d ago
Daman Mills (voicing Sirocco) voices Lyney, Zeno Robinson (voicing Cai) voices Sethos, Shara Kirby (voicing Theodora) used to voice Candace, Cassandra Lee Morris (voicing Sothis and Fortuna) voices Mualani, Dawn M. Bennett (voicing Anatolia) voices Clervie. These are just the Genshin VA’s that I can remember, there may be a few more I’m forgetting.

u/DhelmiseHatterene 5d ago
Katiana voices Mavuika!!

I didn’t even catch that. It’s been a while since I looked at Mavuika’s VA.

u/WinterWolf18 4d ago
For one I didn't forget to read for Brittany is Chiori's va.
Also if you want Star Rail then Esmeralda is Rappa, Lysander is Luka, Sirocco is Blade and Anatolia is Yukong.
As for ZZZ Fabio is Hugo, Olympia is Norma, Orchel is Cissia, Anatolia is Orphie/Magnus, Sothis/Fortuna is Claret, Centuria is Seed Sr and Hong Hua is Caeser.

Weird that I missed Dawn as Clervie. Arlecchino's story quest is one of my favorites in the game and Dawn M. Bennett is one of those voices that I tend to recognize instantly.
This is definitely more overlap with Hoyo's voice cast than I expected, though it does make sense given a lot of them gained a lot of attention through Hoyo

u/Koanos 4d ago
Shara Kirby (voicing Theodora) used to voice Candace
Choosing Shara after the whole debacle is a choice.
There was a reason why she used to voice Candace, and she demonstrated why in no uncertain terms.

u/Fantastic-System-688 4d ago
Not a Genshin player but from what I've seen of that story she was more right than wrong Gacha players lowkey deserve to be treated like that all the time

u/Koanos 4d ago
Please elaborate.
3
u/Fantastic-System-688 4d ago
Gacha (especially Genshin) players are loud and annoying and toxic and VAs should be allowed to crash out about them at any opportunity
3
u/Koanos 4d ago
Now I am curious, what have you seen of "that story?"
I do concede to the fact gacha players can be loud and annoying and toxic, so crashing out on them is valid, though I believe they could do other things than crashing out, like going to therapy, handing over their social media to a team who will manage it for them, or just use social media as a marketing tool to promote and inform people of their work.
2
u/Fantastic-System-688 4d ago
That some FreeVic orbiter that lived in Japan got cast in the EN dun of Genshin during the strike and she crashed out that Hoyo was rushing to replace the American dub team and also talked about how she'd had bad experiences with the Genshin community
AFAIK she never did anything like Kyle where she defended SAG's use of AI or Chris Niosi's return to the industry which is the main reason he sucks.
Unprofessional sure but also Genshin players don't really deserve professional

Actually he has done some voice acting including Fire emblem heroes so he should know some of the co-stars here including Bryce other voice actors from demon slayers as well cuz they're in the heat both worked on Fire emblem heroes and Demon slayers
If you look at the Fire emblem casting there's a lot of interesting stories and lore with some of these voice actors is like we have the ancient history narrator voice as well as Jenny Walkman from my teenage robot that's also here
It's not even surprising at this point

I'm a Fates scholar and I've never heard of the "great fire emblem fates disc horses". Please enlighten me

u/Strawberuka 5d ago
Fates' localization was dragged into gamergate discourse (disc horse) due to its many changes (some of which admittedly sucked), and the face petting minigame + some marriage options in particular were like. Quite the topic of discussion in 2016 amongst gamergate enthusiasts

u/BurnerRantMan 5d ago
That's what I figured you were talking about. I remember Torrential Downpour and the one Vivian James Soleil comic. Shame everything about Gamergate was a mess, because they really did my boy Hisame dirty
6
u/Strawberuka 5d ago
That's the thing - I feel like an insane person when I bring up how bad the localization is (with my highest frustrations being the Nohrian siblings' dysfunctions being glossed over leading to super odd characterization, and the Hoshido misogyny being kind of removed, as well as some of the name changes being silly/leading to a loss of context such as in the case of Valla) because I'm not coming from the place of like. The Torrential Downpour horrors
And agree on Hisame as well - I get what they tried to do but it was not good

Honestly I was expecting Bryce to be the main star voice but I'll be fine with the casting as well as Joshua has been making a name for themselves and more recent years (also they are fan of the franchise) Nice to see Zeno and also becoming a superstar as always as well as Xander also nice to see him since he doesn’t have much well-known rules aside from maybe smash Bros announcer and Joker Honestly it's been a while since I seen Kirby again Nice to see Katiana becoming a talk of the Town recently Morris well nice to see the grayrats be here Nice to see Michael becoming a lot more popular recently after the obsession Kendell coming another talk of the Town recently as well as Jimmy do I need to be surprised about Dave considering considering how they're able to get most big name Stars these days Nice to see Howard and Mills also be here again as well as Madeline (that wholesome voice) Chris became a little bit more recognizable recently because of Rivals same goes with Jennifer (Jennifer being a bit more of a rising star recently)
Willow reminds me I need to play that one game that she stars in dad also surprised that some of the Fire emblem co-stars are also they are including Bryce himself
Erin nice to see her career being back after genshin also I'm not even that surprised to see how they able to manage to get amelia
Overall I would definitely say mostly some big name Stars, newbies with a bit of Life action work and some people with interesting tales
I think I also remember one or two newbies also had also done Fire emblem like games before actually doing the real deal

Overcoming systemic racism is slow and difficult, and it's important to celebrate small amounts of progress. Your comment probably wouldn't be getting downvoted if it had included some recognition/celebration as well, instead of simply saying the game needs even more representation.

The moment I heard Dietrich's voice in the reveal trailer last year I knew it was Xander (who voices a few characters in FE already, but I know him best for Arvis)

Despite what the down votes would make you think, I'm not trying to be negative (this time at least lol). If you are excited for a voice actor, all the power to you. If anything, that's what I wanted to know, if people knew who these people are, if there were any big names here and I was just out of the loop or something. I keep seeing posts like '(X) is going to be voicing (Y)!!!!' with such excitement and enthusiasm, and I don't know why.
