Final Fantasy IX Voice Cast Picks
For every Final Fantasy, since the introduction of voice actors in Final Fantasy X, when I go back to play the Playstation Final Fantasies I have an image of what the voice of the various characters sound like so I decided to ask everyone's opinion. Create your cast for the voice actors and a reason why they'd fit the role best. Tried to add a movie they've been in so you can picture them as the characters. Here's my list of the main characters as well as some of the supporting players:
Main Characters
Zidane - Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal)
Zidane would need to be both a sarcastic and witty character that also can flex his dramatic muscle at the same time. Ryan Reynolds in my mind would be great protraying Zidane because he has the sarcastic humor like his character in Blade Trinity but can be a good dramatic actor as well (Definitely Maybe)
Garnet - Rachel McAdams (Sherlock Holmes)
I almost went with Anne Hathaway because she's portrayed a princess before but I like McAdams because I feel she could capture the vast array of emotion that Garnet exhibits throughout the story.
Steiner - Patrick Warburton (Get Smart)
What a strong voice to have in the cast and he would be more then capable of portraying the strong willed and stubborn knight better than anyone else I can think of.
Vivi - Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings)
Tough to find a good voice for Vivi but I chose to go with Elijah because his voice is more boyish and not as deep which would suit Vivi.
Freya - Uma Thurman (Kill Bill)
Uma as always played strong females and Freya is no exception. Uma's voice with Freya's attitude, persona, and fighting ability is very good to think about.
Amarant - Christian Bale (The Dark Knight)
You need someone that has played a loner because that is the one word that describes Amarant. Bale has been on his own as Batman in the two blockbuster movies and his strong voice means he'd be a great pick for Amarant the harden hired arm.
Quina - Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda)
Well this is just a stab in the dark since even the game refers to Quina as s/he but Black could def pull off the way that Quina talks and acts. I don't know about this one though.
Eiko - Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine)
She is such a great child actor and she would easily be able to capture the youthfulness along with the depth that the young character provides.
Supporting Characters
Kuja - James Franco (Spiderman 3)
A very skilled actor than can definitely handle being the villian. Great choice for the cynical Kuja
Garland - Willem Dafoe (Daybreakers)
Had to think hard about this one but Dafoe has a unique voice and it would seemingly fit with the dark and ominous Garland.
Baku - Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart)
An extremely talented actor whose roles often get over-looked. He would play the admirable leader of Tantulus wonderfully.
Blank - Scott Foley (Cougar Town)
Most of his roles have been in TV series but he plays a great "good guy" so I think he'd bring the mentor/guide that would compliment Zidane as well as Marcus and Cinna very nicely.
Marcus - Mark Wahlberg (Shooter)
Strong character of Marcus played by a strong and determined actor in Mark Wahlberg, enough said. Haha
Cinna - Zack Braff (Garden State)
Braff I believe would be able to capture the quirkiness that Cinna often exhibits but also be able to be intellectual through the sound of his voice.
Lani - Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers)
Amarant's partner and for some reason I've seen her as having an Australian voice. Just give Isla a mic and let her have at it.
Cid - Liam Neeson (Taken)
Another strong voice and has the sound of a wise man, fits perfectly in my opinion.
Beatrix - Jessica Biel (Valentine's Day)
I can't think of a stronger female actress to portray the General of Alexandria. He role in Blade Trinity shows that she can handle her own in combat.
