The VAs for Estinien, Thancred, Alphinaud, and Alisaie attempted to decorate a cake.

Oh, and Alisaie said the copypasta (you know the one).

[new-old-friend]

The moment you realize that Bethan and Colin made a Porxie-like Moogle Cake.

And it it looks a lot like the mud porxie Alisaie made in the first.

”you can’t prove they were gay!”

well you can’t prove they weren’t gay

Alphinaud and Alisaie action figures dropped so now I'm going to have to see the sales prices for each down the line because I want to hear Colin Ryan and Bethan Walker dunk on each other about it

[catgirlcrisis]

idk if theyve made a post on tumblr yet or if anyone who follows me cares but there is a virtual ffxiv con being held from sept 29 - sept 30 with a cosplay (irl and glamour), art, and screenshot contest, a virtual artist alley, a PVP event, and even features guests like temmie chang as well as colin ryan and bethan walker (twin VAs). here is their website!

Bethan Walker, Alisaie's English VA, started using Cameo recently, so I got her to read this beautiful piece from near the end of Endwalker. It's not voiced in the game.

(Edited out the personal greeting at the beginning so the clip starts at the quote. I missed editing out the "Sage" in the first split second though -- it's just my name, haha.)

"It's all a dream, isn't it...? A long, elaborate dream... Any moment now, I'll wake up in my bed. Still a student. Grandfather alive. I'd go about my day, relieved as fragments of that other life fade away... And that would be happiness... wouldn't it? That none of it... No. No, I won't give up these experiences. Good and bad, they are mine. The are *me*."

Got the chance to attend Otakon this weekend! Was super fun, but most surprisingly there was tons of Final Fantasy XIV stuff there. A lot of people went to great effort to make a mini fanfest here.

Alisaie and Alphinaud's voice actors were guests as well and did an incredible panel! I got to briefly speak with Bethan Walker(Alisaie) on the way out and she complimented the stickers of the twins I have on my cane <3

Posted below are some cosplay photos I got, though unfortunately I do not have any @'s for any of them. If they are familiar to please let me know! When I get home tomorrow I will probably post the merch I got from artists alley when I'm also able to go through business cards to get shop links.

Went to Kupocon yesterday and had the pleasure of meeting Colin Ryan (Alphinaud’s VA), Bethan Walker (Alisaie’s VA) and John Bentley (FF7R Barret’s VA).

I went specifically for Ryan and Walker, but Bentley was easily the highlight of the day for me. He was so charismatic and friendly. He gave everyone his full attention when he spoke to them, and really seemed to enjoy getting to meet fans. He was also very complimentary of my outfit, and asked me to write down the name of my shirt’s designer so he could look her up 😂

Terrible selfies under the cut! Ye be warned!

Looking back on 6.x and my guesses from 6.1: Regarding the VAs

I was going to wait until 6.55 to make this but at this point I feel we can make this now with no VA knowledge for the last part. Spoiler for all FFXIV 6.x patches and character spoilers a bit for FFXVI (just because i bring up VAs but no names of characters)

So 6.5 happened and with the alliance raid having voiced G'raha a point I have made since 6.1 is back again: The scions splitting up caused some interesting affect on the English dub, if not every single dub. But as I can only speak for the English - we will be talking about the English specifically.

For anyone who didn't notice or doesn't play the game in English - Jonathan Bailey is back in the dub for............ 3 lines (off topic: his name is ROT 13 looks like onion, therefore i am now shortening it in ROT13 to that). That is if he isn't a side character that pops up in the MSQ in 6.1;6.2 and 6.5. And it reminded me we have had it a lot in this patch cycle: VAs having a handful of lines for one scene.

6.1 had Gemma Lawrence [Krile], Peter Bramhill and Tim Watson all pop up for a handful of lines to never be seen again. Bethan Walker and Colin Ryan [the twins] have this in 6.4 when they are there to just set off the teleporter. This patch is so clear that they realised the pool of who they had to call had shrunk by a mile and didnt clearly know how the deal with the usual additional voices pool of patches prior (in English they ended up very clearly calling people *specifically* for bosses, hello Joe Dempise [Ardbert] in the Myths Raid and Jeremy Ang Jones [Hermes] as the P10 boss - people came in from the ffxiv alumni for other jobs and got asked to do bosses because suddenly they had so little VAs in the dub they had to leave it to fill roles).

When 6.1 released I said on instagram in a rant that this was because of ffxvi, they had split the team internally dub wise and now had to quickly fill the additional characters with the 7 VAs they had (and oh god in 6.1 you can tell, hello [redacted] who im 70/30 on being Jonathan, sometimes you do really try to hide your accent and it doesnt fully work does it?) .

this was until I saw that XVI cast on the PS Blog: there was no scions or even core characters in that dub. And when others showed me the BTVA entries when it came out: there was less than 10 XIV alumni in there, with most being new people to the RPG dubbing crew as such. This wasn't its fault.

6.3,6.4 and 6.5 is a lot better on this, new characters meant new VAs and they quickly found a way to fill holes but I am saying this now: this is the new normal for patches, maybe not expacts, but everything else - they are gonna have to work with smaller pools of VAs than before as it looks like the scions "pair" up for tasks and not every patch is gonna have huge amount of these.

What about that "3 lines omg" thing?

simple. get used to having bg characters sometimes all share a VA. like 2 or 3 have a VA in common. Because it must be a pain to have to round up someone for 3 lines. and this is not even specific to the likes of JB and co who have other projects we know about, it is everyone. Many of them aren't London based!

Its just a new issue they all now have, and I feel its gonna be interesting to see how we deal with it come 7.x

Things learned at KupoCon Nov 2021, EW Release Hype

Peter Bramhill’s friends and family like to send him Thancred fan-made merchandise since learning about his role in the game and how popular his character is. This started as simple things, like mugs.

He also now has one of the body pillows. Which he did keep on the bed.

Also there was enough singing in the booth and goofing off that in a December session they nearly had a “Thancred Christmas Album” and please I actually really would love to hear him singing as Thancred sometime.

Timothy Watson’s kids like to tell their friends which video game and show characters their dad plays. Gotta get that cred.

When asked if they’d like to be friend with their characters, Robyn Addison said she wants Y’shtola as her life coach.

Bethan Walker has two small kids, and channeled her maternal feelings when acting Alisaie’s scenes with Ga Bu, and felt a connection to the character over that.

Carina Reeves was very quiet, but very sweet and cute and uses close to her own voice for Tataru.

The hosts got Watson to say some popular Urianger memes in character. Some clips are already up and spreading across the internet. Now Urianger himself can tell you you don’t pay his sub, and how his milkshakes bring boys to the yard.

They also had the VAs say some of their lines from the game; a few serious ones, and some silly ones. And the streamer host got Bramhill to shout out to her streamer buddy who is a big Thancred fan, and he did it in character.

It was a very cute little panel. Check KupoCon’s youtube for the recording!

I’m pretty sure that Kate and her team asks the brand not to use her image if they can avoid it. Smaller brands can get away with the it, or do it like Emmy London who posts the items in question but not a pic with Kate. Philip Tracey have lots of pictures with royals wearing his hats but very, very few with Kate (one is a group photo the other is one from a Remembrance Day where she’s wearing the hat she wore to William’s passing out parade in 2005, so not a current hat).

But McQueen, Catherine Walker and Jenny Packham never ever talks about Kate being their customer. JP would never post about Kate wearing one of her dresses, so comments like Omid’s are dumb as hell (see the follow up comment he did about JP not posting when Dior did). This very good article from Bethan Holt lays it out https://archive.ph/Be1iD

Thank you for this.
