Travis Willingham recast as Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII Revelation

gamingJun 6, 202623913

Square Enix has recast Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, naming Travis Willingham as the character's new English voice. The company said the change was necessary because the prior actor had scheduling conflicts, and confirmation circulated after Willingham's appearance on Critical Role and comments from Maximilian Dood. Willingham's credits include voicing Superman in LEGO projects and numerous major game and anime roles. Because Sephiroth's English voice anchors the villain's presence across FFVII media, this recast will influence how Revelation presents its antagonist's key scenes.

If I had a nickel for every time Sephiroth shared an actor with Superman, I'd have three nickels. Quick, someone check if Lance Bass ever voiced Superman before!

Another Critical Role man. I’ll take it.

They’ll just keep casting a Superman Voice for Sephiroth! And Fellow Critical Role Member with Matt Mercer.

Respect to Travis its just not the voice I think of when I think of Sephiroth. Gonna be interesting to see.

Might explain why Willingham was unavailable for Trails in the Sky 2nd chapter. Hoechlin is setting off a recast chain.

Thought for sure it was Paul St. Peter or Richard Epcar, he sounded just like Ansem and Xemnas in KH3. Cool they kept the pattern of Superman VAs tho!

@kzxcellent.live

Travis Willingham is confirmed to be Sephiroth now. Cool pick, honestly. Also he's LEGO SUPERMAN the dynasty continues.

Travis Willingham will voice Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII Revelation; the character was previously voiced by Taylor Hoechlin in Remake & Rebirth. [Twitter] twitter.com/WillingBlam/...

Sephiroth looks down toward the viewer, with a single black wing outstretched. He appears to be carrying Cloud.

Still a Superman voicing Sephiroth. All is right. Apart from Lance Bass (the worst one), we had Supes voicing Sephiroth.

If I had a nickel for every time Travis Willingham was a replacement VA for a character that was a fucked up alien/science thing, I'd have two nickels

So, a slight bit of news. It was confirmed that Sephiroth had a VA change for the English version of FF7 Revelation. Tyler Hoechlin can't reprise the role due to a scheduling conflict. The new VA is Travis Willingham. He ALSO happens to have voiced Superman. The trend continues. #FinalFantasy7
