FFVII Advent Children
FFVII Advent Children English cast and release date get!
by James Mielke, 02/13/2006

Hot on the heels of the Kingdom Hearts II voice cast, which was announced just last week, comes the first peek at the English-language voice cast of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, which has been delayed repeatedly due to some last minute signings, most notably that of American Beauty jailbait, Mena Suvari, who was brought on to perform the voice of Aerith Gainsborough in not only Kingdom Hearts II, but also to reprise the role in Advent Children. While Sony's DVD head of marketing, Mike Stratford, was quoted talking all kinds of crap to The Digital Bits, claiming that we'd see the release of Advent Children in North America by "end of 2006" (causing much consternation among Final Fantasy fans nationwide), 1UP is glad to inform you that the DVD and UMD will ship in the U.S. on April 25, 2006.

So in case you haven't already downloaded the movie from the Internet (bad, pirates, bad!) and are looking forward to seeing this hour-and-a-half slice of CG Final Fantasy fan-service for yourself, you've roughly two months to go. Here's the mostly anonymous voice cast, with the exception of Rachel Leigh Cook (Tifa), and Mena Suvari (Aerith), with Steve Burton playing the role of Cloud Strife (he was the voice of Cloud in Kingdom Hearts 1). But who cares about that when it can finally be revealed that "Girl" will be played by Andrea Bowen?

[Editor's Note: This information pertains specifically to the English dub, and does not indicate whether or not the original Japanese language track will be included -- featuring English subtitles -- which it will, because Square Enix is very aware that that's how their fans like it.]

cast looks ok, glad they've got people like crispin freeman, steve blum and beau billingslea there usually pretty reliable. Although i think they could have got a bigger part, crispin freeman would have been awesome as cloud i think

Edit: Yeh, a few famous names, the cast from Last Exile and Cowboy Bebop and Witch Hunter Robin, pretty cool shows.

Edit 2: Hey! Crispin Freeman Rules!. Hideki.

Rude: Crispin Freeman - ......Fuck him.

Oh my. This again. XD;;


But yay for other people! (RAINBOW BRITE LADY! WHEE) I can't wait for it to come out! =P It'll be interesting to see how they do and how the die-hard fans think they did. (Meaning you guys. <3)

Oh my. This again. XD;;

You know it ;D

[Matt Cruea]

Very happy to see that they're having the Kingdom Hearts voice actors reprise their roles. Shows a sense of connectivity across SE.

If you type in 'Greg Ellis' (one g) you should come up with a lot of results. Also I believe the girl playing Marlene did child voices in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

I'll write out my thoughts/comments on the cast at a later date

Not to say that the cast won't be great and isn't filled with alot of talent, but Steve Blum just doesn't seem right for Vincent when I picture his voice over Vincent in the movie, and same thing for George Newbern.

I'm sure it'll be fantastic though.

*GASP*

Wally Wingert?AWSOME VA.

I love him for his Tallest Red.

Well, to be honest, when I heard he would be playing Zabuza in Naruto, I really didn't know what to expect. When I heard him in that, and then heard him as Wolverine in X-men Legends, I was a happy puppy. 8D

The cast looks pretty cool.^^

Yay for the Rainbow Brite lady.^^
