The Sephiroth boss struggle within the first Kingdom Hearts continues to be one of many sequence’ hardest, and it seems his voice actor hasn’t managed to beat it.
We have all been there: you are rocking your means up by the ranks in Olympus Coliseum, not a care in a world. You are pulling down titans, you are dealing with off in opposition to Ultimate Fantasy buddies, you’ve got obtained this! Then, these rattling strings begin taking part in, and the one and solely Sephiroth turns up. And naturally, you get your ass totally whooped, as a result of he’s powerful as nails. He is nonetheless powerful to today, arguably even more durable than the second sport’s Sephiroth struggle if solely as a result of your toolset is wider within the sequel. So I can not precisely blame Lance Bass, the character’s voice actor within the first Kingdom Hearts sport (and a member of some boy band referred to as NSYNC or no matter) for not having managed to beat him.
As noticed by GamesRadar, Bass not too long ago held a Reddit Ask Me Something to advertise an upcoming TV particular of his, the place one fan requested him how he can to be the voice of Sephiroth, and whether or not he is even performed it and in flip crushed the Ultimate Fantasy 7 villain. In response, Bass stated “Yeah, I am kinda badass as Sephiroth. No, I’ve by no means been capable of kill my very own character. He’s so arduous! However undoubtedly one of many greatest surprises, after I inform folks I voiced Sephiroth. The truth is, I feel lots of people get upset, they get greatly surprised that I voiced Sephiroth. However God provides you a booming bass voice, and also you gotta use it!”
He undoubtedly is a stunning casting alternative, however the first Kingdom Hearts sport is filled with them. They’re all very of their time too – David Boreanaz, star of Buffy and his personal spin-off present Angel, voiced Leon, Even Stevens’ Christy Carlson Romano voice Yuffie, singer and Tangled star Mandy Moore voiced Aerith, and everybody’s least favorite Titanic antagonist Billy Zane starred as Kingdom Hearts’ large dangerous Ansem. And who may neglect The Sixth Sense’s Hayley Joel Osment as Sora, the one one of many aforementioned lot who nonetheless voices his character.
Level is Bass, you are not alone in battling Sephiroth. With just a little coaching, and loads of stage grinding, I am certain you are able to do it!
