In some surprise news, Square Enix has confirmed the voice actor of Sephiroth will not be returning in Final Fantasy VII Revelation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The game’s director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed this during a chat with Maximillian Dood<\/a>. He explained how Tyler Hoechlin<\/strong>, who played the role in Remake<\/a>, Rebirth<\/a> and also Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion<\/a>, was not available for the third outing. Here’s the full exchange and official translation to go with it:<\/p>\n

\n

Max:<\/strong> “Sephiroth seemed to be maybe a different voice actor in the English version of the official trailer – do we have any confirmation of that if it is a different voice actor, or is it something you guys can’t discuss right now?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Hamaguchi:<\/strong> “Oh you realised…so yes, the former voice actor that was doing voice for Sephiroth was unable to participate, so we do have a new voice actor.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Although the director didn’t reveal who would replace him at the time, Square Enix reached out to Max later<\/a> and confirmed the new voice actor for Sephiroth will be played by Travis Willingham<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Willingham has also kind of<\/em> acknowledged this news – mentioning to host Geoff Keighley on social media<\/a> how the Summer Game Fest ending (showcasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation) “was a banger”.<\/p>\n
