    My favorite Alphinaud line is from Shadowbringers where Alphinaud says "Belittle us all you like, but we will rise again and again, and give the lie to your insults through word and deed."

    With Colin starting the game, I wonder what his reaction will be to some of the unvoiced lines. There's some BANGER dialogue that the voice actors would never know about... I'd particularly like to see Bethan's take on the "Good and bad, they are mine. They are me" speech

    I love how your video gives a lot more insight on how Beth and Colin approach voice acting for XIV. I really wish SE would give the English VAs more spotlight on-stage during events like Fanfest. The JP VAs get a lot of spotlight from them and the fans appreciate them a lot. Hope the English and the rest of the other VAs get the same treatment too.

    For real tho! Like with London fan fest, I’m pretty sure their English studio (Side UK) is based in London, so it would’ve been such a perfect opportunity to have had a VA panel then. Some actors were even invited to attend fanfest too what with all the pictures that people took them! I hope this changes going forward at future events.

Same with the other VA's!

Alphi and Alisaie would not be the characters they are today without the excellent delivery and personality that both Beth and Colin bring, didn't get the chance to meet them in London at Fanfest but hopefully next time!

    I have to say. Over the years I have been playing this game (from 2020 onwards) I have really seen how the twins in the story has progressed. Like granted Alisae isn't around in ARR that much aside from the part she spoke of with the raid series. At first I didn't even think they would become some my favorite characters from the game. I could tell from Alisae especially that she had more confidence later on down the line with the way Beth made her sound. It was so fun watching this interview of them and so can't wait for the expansion ahead.

    Seeing the faces of the voice s of the Levvieur twins(sorry can't spell their last name for sh**) shows that life does not reflect fantasy. If you told me that the voices of those two gorgeous white-haired Elezen young adults were two middle-aged people with giant noses, I'd have laughed. I did know they were British. Alph and Alisaie's voices had a heavy Brit accent to them.
