On set when I’m running and jumping or having a physical interaction with another character, I’m doing it for real. I’m able to put an authentic feeling behind the story being told through a very “fake but real” immersive environment. Not to mention the masterfully written scripts and insightful direction. From the wardrobe, to the set design and lighting. Joe: You are known for your live action roles in Teen Wolf, Pretty Little Liars, All American, and more - how is this voice acting role different from what you normally do?Ĭody Christian:In the film/tv world, I have so much aiding my performance. Understanding the depth and complexity of Cloud humanizing him in order for the audience to empathize and connect throughout their journey of playing the game has been a top priority for me from since the beginning. The best I can do is commit and give my all. I’ve come to understand that it’s impossible to please everyone. Those who have engaged with the franchise over the years have a special loyalty to the characters. I am well aware of how beloved this character is to the fanbase. Are you worried about what the reception to your take on the hero might be?Ĭody Christian:Of course. Joe: The original game didn’t feature voice acting the way that the remake will, and in some ways you are going to be the definitive voice actor for a very popular character in certain fans’ eyes. I was able to get so much insight and backstory from my brother who considers himself a fan of the franchise, which aided in a deeper understanding of the story and its characters. My older brother grew up playing the game. Joe: Final Fantasy VII remains one of the most popular titles in the franchise and JRPGs of all time - have you ever played it yourself?Ĭody Christian: I personally did not play Final Fantasy, however, before starting this project, I was able to watch an entire play through of the original FF7 on Youtube. Given that this is my first major voice acting role, knowing I had a team around me gave me the confidence I needed to continually strive for the best performance in this depiction of Cloud. I also had a fantastic team supporting me the entire way. However, the path my predecessor established laid such an imaginative foundation that I was confident I could follow the lead while also infusing my own distinct take on the character. Joe: I’d like to start by asking if you are nervous to step into the shoes of Cloud Strife - a character who has amassed such a large fan-base over the years.Ĭody Christian:Absolutely! The magnitude of the Final Fantasy world and what it means to its fanbase was certainly intimidating. We got some excellent material from Christian that we think you'll love, and we tossed some images in the mix to spice it up for you.
