Despite b🎉eing developer Sandfall Interactive's first game, the incandescent upcomin💖g turn-based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has a surprisingly stacked voice actor cast, though that wasn't an intentional choice. Actually, it was half an accident.

Sandfall CEO and creative director Guillaume Broche explains on . Lord of the Rings' Andy Serkis and Daredevil actor Charlie Cox joined the Clair Obscur lineuꦛp after agreeing through𒊎 their agents. But, it's "funny," Broche says – he hired both Shadowheart actress Jennifer English and Final Fantasy 16 hero (also, ) Ben Starr through blind auditions.

"In the beginning," Broche says, auditions were "just for the trailer, for [scrappy protagonist] Gustave, and also the voiceover of the trailer, so we received, like, 20 different auditions. But it was blind auditions, so we didn't k🌼now the name of the people who sent the tape."

"There was one voice that stood out," Broche continues, "and I said, 'OK, this is a really cool voice. Let's take this guy.' Later, our quest designer Victor [Deleard], he listened to the tape, and he was like, 'Isn't that Clive from Final Fantasy?'" N꧒ow, Ben Starr is set to play the grizzled stranger Verso instead of simply being the booming trailer narrator.

His caramel voice was too undeniable for that not to be the case, as the sugar-high 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Clive hive is aware. Fans of Jennifer English's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:number-one girlfriend Shadowheart nဣo doubt feel a similar pull to her honeyed word🅺s.

Broche certainly did. "Jennifer English was kind of the same [experience]," he tells t♉he Xbox podcast. "We received, like, 25 tapes for [orphaned protagonist Maelle], and I was like, 'This is the one.' Later, they just told me, 'This is Shadowheart.'"

Saving the world with a baguette? "A joke that went too far," shares Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's creative director, as we talk Final Fantasy, Persona, and more.
