If IX had voice actors...

[Rantz]

Freya would be Cate Blanchett and have the voice of GALADRIEL.

I think RDJ would do a fab Steiner, but I'm undecided.

[Quindiana Jones]

Nah, RDJ is too nasal for Steiner. He'd need a deep, solid voice. Blanchett would do a pretty good Freya, though. The problem I have with thinking of voice actors is that, while each character is distinct when I read what they're saying, I don't read them in any voices. I can't even begin to think of who could play Zidane.

[Laddy]

Zidane-Liam Neeson
Dagger-Liam Neeson
Steiner-Liam Neeson
Vivi-Liam Neeson
Freya-Liam Neeson
Quina-Liam Neeson
Eiko-Liam Neeson
Amarant-Liam Neeson
Kuja-Liam Neeson
Garland-Liam Neeson

Oscarplz.

[Jinx]

Who is RDJ?

I honestly can't think of any good voice actors at the moment, but I'll consider it. This is an interesting topic.

[Goldenboko]

Zidane-Liam Neeson
Dagger-Liam Neeson
Steiner-Liam Neeson
Vivi-Liam Neeson
Freya-Liam Neeson
Quina-Liam Neeson
Eiko-Liam Neeson
Amarant-Liam Neeson
Kuja-Liam Neeson
Garland-Liam Neeson

Oscarplz.

All movies should listen to this.

Robert Downy JR. But you don't like him so yah.

I know this is going to be pretty left field here but Selena Gomez for Dagger.

[Gamblet]

Zidane-Liam Neeson
Dagger-Liam Neeson
Steiner-Liam Neeson
Vivi-Liam Neeson
Freya-Liam Neeson
Quina-Liam Neeson
Eiko-Liam Neeson
Amarant-Liam Neeson
Kuja-Liam Neeson
Garland-Liam Neeson

Steiner at the beginning of the game to Zidane: "I don't know who you are, but I'll find you and I'll kill you."

[Slothy]

The only choice for Garland would be Patrick Stewart.

[Mercen-X]

Garland would be the perfect role for Patty Stew. Very uppity and a limited time only character.

Zidane - Christian Slater
Blanc - Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Vivi - Atticus Shaffer (I've always imagined Vivi would have an annoying voice)
Puck - Justin Bieber (I've always imagined Puck would have an annoying voice)
Steiner - Ron Perlman
Beatrix - Sharon Stone
Dagger - Alyson Hannigan
Freya - Kate Beckinsale
Fratley - Liam Neeson
Amarant - Nicholas Cage
Lani - Sarah Michelle Gellar (I've always imagined Lani to have an annoying voice)
Quina - Robert Downey, Jr. (don't worry, he knows how to do weird)

[Slothy]

Vivi - Atticus Shaffer (I've always imagined Vivi would have an annoying voice)

I've always imagined you with an annoying voice. :doublecolbert:

Nah but seriously, I have no clue who this kid is.

[Gamblet]

Amarant - Morgan Freeman

[Laddy]

Fratley - Liam Neeson
In all fairness, either this or Garland are the only roles I could see him doing.

[Mercen-X]

Vivi - Atticus Shaffer (I've always imagined Vivi would have an annoying voice)

I've always imagined you with an annoying voice. :doublecolbert:

Nah but seriously, I have no clue who this kid is.

Brick Heck on The Middle... you know it... the janitor from Scrubs plays the father.

[ReloadPsi]

If FF9 had voice acting I probably would've hated it and would focus on its other negative points that I'm usually willing to forgive :P But to give my two cents...

Mine are all gonna be voice actors because I know voice actors' vocal capabilities better than I know those of film actors.

Zidane - Yuri Lowenthal (He has a generic-sounding voice, enough so that you won't get tired of hearing it seeing as he'll be with you for a massive portion of the game; if Zidane were voiced by someone with a certain sound about them there's a chance you'd decide you didn't like it and would get sick of it, kind of like many, many people did with James Arnold Taylor's whiny squeak)

Steiner - Paul Eiding (Have you ever heard him play a more comical role before? He's actually very good. Look on YouTube for a Gally longplay of Evil Zone and enjoy. Oh god I'd love to hear most of Steiner's lines spoken by him.)

Garnet - Jennifer Hale (Though I'm not sure how young she can sound)

Vivi - Colleen Clinkenbeard (Lately I've been really impressed by her voice work as Gohan in Dragon Ball Kai)

Freya - Allison Hollingshead (She's just another well-spoken adult female voice actor that I quite liked. She usually sounds calm and dispassionate, but for Freya I think that would work.)

Quina - Christopher Sabat (Just show him some footage of Quina's scenes and let him wing it. He'll find a voice.)

Eiko - Katie Leigh (I liked her as Millie in Star Ocean First Departure)

Amarant - Microsoft Sam (May be too expressive though)

Garland - George Newbern (Though there's a risk of him sounding too Sephirothy)

Kuja - Chris Ayres (He was Freeza's new voice actor for Dragon Ball Kai and his blend of effeminate and indimitating was spot on)

Queen Brahne - Linda Young (Freeza's old voice actor! Hearing her and Chris Ayres in the same scene, I'd just close my eyes, pretend they were two Freezas and geek out.)

[Laddy]

I agree for the most part with your post. I could see Jennifer Hale playing Freya as well.

[Mercen-X]

Zidane - Yuri Lowenthal
too coolish... maybe Brian Donovan

Blanc - Eric Vale
Garnet - Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
Freya - Jennifer Hale

Quina - Christopher Sabat
same could be done for Vivi

Amarant - David Lodge
Garland - David Kaye
Kuja - Doug Erholtz (although he dresses as though his voice actor should be effeminate, it's very likely quite a jump to be made)

[Freya]

Jennifer hale is the best cause she's femshep and also has the guiness world record for being in the most video games as a voice actor.

This may be over used, but that post gave me cancer.

[Freya]

SHE LOVES ME LIKE A LOVE SONG BABY

[Jiro]

What's wrong with Selena Gomez? She came up as a potential live action actress for Garnet in that other thread. I think it's a good fit. :confused:

[Mercen-X]

If we're allowing a singer to be Dagger: let Demi Lovato give your heart a break!

[Freya]

Her voice seems too deep for dagger.

[ReloadPsi]

I'm thinking of much as when she was Emma in MGS2 as when she was Naomi in MGS1. Like she could have Emma's pitch but Naomi's accent, but it might hurt her throat to do that for so long. Emma was something of a bit part in the end after all.

Oh well, since I'm on the subject of MGS voice actors a friend of mine just suggested Kim Mae Guest (Mei Ling; keep in mind she dropped the accent in Twin Snakes and MGS4) might do her some justice.

[Hollycat]

You guys are all killing me. Garnet has to be someone who can act. So no one from Disney channel. Unless you want terrible jokes and inability to display any emotion accurately.

[Hollycat]

So then, you don't want Miley Cyrus..?
Dear lord please have mercy on their souls, for they know not what they say.

[Forsaken Lover]

Zidane should obviously be voiced by Quinton Flynn.

Garland - Richard Epcar. You need a deep, imposing voice? You get this guy.

Man, I'm using too many KH guys here and I don't even mean to.

Beatrix should be either Mary-Elizabeth McGlynn or Laura Bailey.

Eiko - Sherry Lynn. There can be no other voice for cute loli characters.

Kuja - Richard Cansino. You might know him as the voice of Legato from TriGun or maybe even as Kenshin in the old RK anime.

[maybee]

I've always wanted the guy who does the voice of Edward Elric to do the voice of Zidane. Because they sort look alike in a way.

[Goldenboko]

Garnet is only to be voiced by the woman who sang Melodies of Life :colbert:

[Laddy]

Zidane-Vic Mignogna
Garnet-Tara Strong
Steiner-Jim Cummings
Freya-Jennifer Hale
Amarant-Liam O'Brien

The rest? I dunno.

[Edge7]

I always pictured Zidane to sound somewhat like Vic Mongana (sp?) with a less scratchy voice (even before I knew who Vic Mongana is).

I'm probably going to get some nasty looks for this, but I think Vivi could be voiced by Greg Ayers.

Amarant would HAVE to be voiced by Brian Massey. That dude has too good a voice to not be in more roles. (I always pictured Amarant with a deep raspy voice).

[Forsaken Lover]

Wait, let me change my first choice for Kuja.

Kuja should be voiced by Cam Clarke.

There is no better voice for him.

[James_Cub]

I think voices would spoil the game actually. If I had to really really choose, I think Nicole Flantl (Fran in 12) should voice Freya. Everyone else, I cant really say. Maybe an Ashe like voice for Garnet since they're both princesses, but apart from that...

[Night Fury]

Michelle Ruff for Freya!

[Polnareff]

Sarah Strange for Zidane or GTFO. (She played Ranma in Ranma 1/2 for the first 3 seasons)

[NinjaCoachZ]
