Red XIII reveals his Real Voice - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 

Red XIII & Cloud go on a Skywheel Date scene here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V207DVEP2us.htmlsi=9Knj7xr5OjVqUE0b

Red went from Mufasa to simba in sec. 😅

"What in the hell was that?!? ✨️🕺Hey Guys....Its Me!🤸✨️" Feel like Barret's reaction was more than a few of us 😂

That is one hell of a range the voice actor has

Red went from Master Splinter to Michelangelo.

Red went from obito to tobi 😂

Tifa: FORTY-WHAT?! 😮 LOL

Fun fact in the Japanese version, he’s played by Kappei Yamaguchi Ussop’s voice actor. Bonus: When he speaks in his normal voice he sounds like ussop but when he’s using his “old man” voice he sounds like ussop when he was imitating zoro

Cait looking at the photo to confirm his sabotage worked was gold

Nanaki knows being innocent gets you abused. He changed his voice

The real cool attention to detail in this scene is that if you go back and do Side quest past this chapter, he will start using that voice rather than his older "mature" sounding voice. It's definitely a nice touch they put into the game to make the world feel more alive and customizable to your play experience.

Well that explains the voice we hear when aerith is showering

"I wanted you to treat me as an equal--not a dog." *Wags his tail like a freakin' puppy* Okay, sure kid. Sure.

Kinda funny how Cait Sith looked rather proud upon seeing the poster.

An easy way to understand and accept that both voices make sense is like this: Red is 48, he is the oldest member in the party, he has lived long enough to accrue knowledge, wisdom and intelligence - this is how he is able to "act" as such. However, biologically, despite his years, he is still young - a teenager, and his hormones beckon him to be playful and excitable. This is his true self, but his experiences and shame over his father broke his confidence and he put on a persona. Upon returning to Cosmo Canyon and the events the therein, he found the confidence to be himself again.

Nanaki is such a baby 😭❤️

Them posters are a netflix version of ff7

Low key hoping he'd say "For real?" In the end

1:28 Wanted posters reaction (Abridged) Barret: “ WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!” Cloud: “ What happened to my hair?!” Tifa: “ Who is this bangs bitch?!” Cait: “ is anyone gunna ask about Red’s voice?” Yuffie: “ They did all of you dirty!“ Cait: “ Okay nobody.”

Went from Batman to Twink ryuji

He went from "call me daddy" to "I'll have her back by 8 sir" 😂😂

Can we agree that the picture of Barrett looks alot like Albert wesker from resident evil?

It is so strange to hear the switch of voices he does.

I love how if you go back and do quests after the reveal, he has different voice lines. This game had so much love and effort poured into it

3:08, time to Reeve Tuesti go to the bathroom.

I liked the first voice more to be honest😅

Its shocking. He’s smack dab in the border of sounding old and tired like Shadow from the Homeward Bound series, to sounding really young and vibrant, like Matthew Broderick’s Simba from the Lion King.

0:47 Barret 😂😂😂

His tail is constantly on fire, which in fact confirms just like charizard. Red 13 is a Pokémon! 🔥

Tifa in that wanted picture💀

His original voice sort of remind me of FFVII abrighed

The way tifa said forty what lol

I gotta be honest I love both voices. They nailed it imo.

Awwww... he sounds so cute!

Bro went from Shadow to Ryuji in an instant

Omg...i love it. You can tell there are two very distinct personalities between Red XIII and Nanaki, and the voice fits it so well.

Damn, I see Reeve tapping into the power of Balenciaga materia on those wanted posters

love the music. such a throwback

Red is Simba with the voice change.

The new voice is jarring upon first hearing it, but I'm slowly getting more used to it. It honestly fits his softer, real personality very well, but dang if Nanaki isn't a good actor.

I've been playing in Japanese, and I almost died when I heard Usopp's voice come out of Nanaki.

Nanaki suddenly becomes Ryuji from Persona 5!

Wow totally killed it for me. He always seemed like an old voiced

He’s cute as a kid but his “old man voice” is really good too.

I literally cry at every aspect of this game. Everything is magnificent.

DR. EGG MAN?! 3:52

Shinra used AI to make those wanted poster photos lmao

Surprised they foreshadowed his voice change so early in under junon

There’s the voice of Red XIII, and the voice of Nanakii

Barret's "It's me" gets to me.🤣🤣🤣

He was over there sounding like Simba!

He is so cute

This is an example of being too good at your job. He doesn't sound like a more relaxed version of himself, he sounds like an entirely new character.

He sounds like Flayon from Holostars 🤔

When you realize he is a teenager in his species age it makes sense. He is 48 too... Let that sink in. 48 and STILL A TEENAGER. Wild. 😂

he goes from batman to sora in seconds i love that

I won't concentrating at this part. So missed how his voice changed His first voice was so much better

As someone who has been a fan of this setting since the original games; This is good.

Barret's reaction had me in tears!!!

1:33 you can tell cait despite being out traitor is still on our side. Spoiler for ff7. (but let be honest does count as spoilers if it was an old game) Cait true identity is Reeves Tuesti, another one of President shinra lackeys and is in charge of urban development for shinras electric power company (personally design the mako factory). But went rogue after the fall of sector 7 building in Midgar and created a cat like robot persona Cait Sith to spy (but really) help the avalanche gang (cloud and the others).

Red is a good boy look at em

I seriously thought the game glitched. Lol. And then I thought I misheard. lol

No way bro

Boy he went to Ryuji from Persona 5 pretty quickly

Oh hai Ryuuji!

Heheh~ He went from wise, battle hardened warrior too an absolute Goober and i LOVE IT

I want a scooby doo mod for red13 haha

Nanaki went from Yugi Yami to Yugi Muto!

When you good friend for years runs into old buddies from high school

I’m not gonna lie hearing cosmo canyon theme brought back memories

2:35 GRAMPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

So does he have two different VAs or is his VA just really good at character voices?

Damn From being 7 years old playing his first full game by himself on the PS1, i gotta say this brings a tear to my eye This is EXACTLY how i envisioned this looking in my head with imagination...all the way down to nanakis real voice, when they said his age compared to humans i immediately heard his kid like soft voice in my head back in the day! Even tho i love his fake voice im glad they stuck to their guns on the real Red XIII Wow, thank you sony and square BTW Cait Sith fucking rules

they really pulled a sanji and flyn rider on those wanted posters. 😂

I really hope in the third FF7R game they make his name "Nanaki" in subtitles and the interface.

Please release a dlc with the original voice

I'll admit, this _does_ reflect how my perception of him changed from the original game after the revelations at Cosmo Canyon 👍

I personally love his real voice, it fits him really well. I can picture nanaki talking like in the post ff7 novels, fits his dialogue better than the wise voice. The old voice is badass, but the new voice is cute and I like both versions of him..... His reason for not showing his real voice makes sense too, cause the party besides definitely wouldn't have taken him as seriously except for Aerith probably. It's also very accurate because a portion of ff7 rebirth players couldn't take him serious after, so he was right for hiding it 💔He still his old voice in some cases like if he's telling a story or talking to strangers so This isn't a brand new change either, this was in the original game just lost in translation like many things. FF7 english localization was awful. People complain about things changing in the remake trilogy, but those same people are complaining about this? It makes no sense. If they for some reason didn't include Nanaki's real voice it would have been a huge change in his character arc for seemingly no reason.

Even in OG FF7 it was stated Red was 48 by his species' age but that's equivalent to 15 or 16 in human years. There was actually a dialogue difference with Red XIII before and after cosmo canyon when you recruit Yuffie and chose the wrong dialogue options. Aerith in Remake said "This child's a friend" Also a couple of subtle hints in with Aerith in Rebirth when she's alone with Red XIII

His blep at 2:36. 🥰

I didn't really like the change when I played this first time but I got used to it in the end, now since Vincent has been introduced I think it was a good decision. Can't have two characters sounding totally serious all the time. Plus Nanaki does noticeably change in demeanour after Cosmo Canyon even in the OG. He, along with Yuffie, are considered the kids of the party.

Shinra used AI to generate those wanted posters

Red sounds even more like Ryuji now

Red is just like...Cloud

Honeslty didn't know if I'd get used to this voice when he first revealed it, but I quickly grew to love it It's adorable and quickly becomes fitting to us for nanaki Also, live how he doesn't completely abandon it as he sprinkles it in a bit when he needs or wants here on out

I had the most intense WTF reaction to this

I like how he revealed his true voice to Aerith early when you hear the ??? talking to her in lower junon. I realized it was him at the time, remembering he was biologically like 16 years old in the OG. You can see in this scene that Aerith isn’t surprised here at all

It’s going to take me awhile to get used to his real voice tbh. It just feels really jaw dropping hearing the tone drop so much. I’m just wondering why no one even really questions it when he just out of nowhere suddenly talks differently and Barret only is questioning why Nanaki is acting more soft and not asking about his voice change.

I shouldve known this mfka voice changed since Junon when he was chatting with aerith in the room.

Bro went from Scooby Doo to Scrappy Doo 😭

If that's the worst thing they do to Red XIII as a character, I'm only slightly annoyed by the weirdness of that shift, TBH

At this point, I noticed the characters come in pairs: Aerith and Tifa are beautiful, sweet, and tough as nails; Red XIII and Yuffie are teenage warriors that can put on a facade of maturity when need be, but still have a lot of growing up to do; Barret and Cid are older tough guys who curse like sailors and can be quite passionate about their goals; Cloud and Vincent are the androgynous loner mysterious tough guy science experiments; and Cait Sith 1 and Cait Sith 2 are very much alike too.

Please tell me puberty is about to hit him

Just shows how dogs are good

I find it adorable.

To be fair, Red/Nanaki is still a cat-dog thing, he has two modes: playful and fiercesome. Aaaaand it also plays into the whole thing about being true to yourself, finding yourself, etc. Everyone's had to be someone else to get ahead. Also, Reed you beautiful bastard, photoshopping the wanted poster like that...

To paraphrase some wise words from a very handsome shinra trooper: Don't let prior knowledge blind you. Clear your mind... And take another listen! :P But yeah, as jarring as the voice change feels after so long with his Very Serious Adult bit, it makes perfect sense for his character, which always had "Simba trying to be Mufasa" vibes, even in the OG.

I was shocked first hearing his teen voice, but I do like it even if I prefer his other voice better.

Creator Almighty is me all by creator Almighty self

I actually can’t stand his “young” voice, it completely ruined it for me and can’t take him seriously now
