Final Fantasy XVI Voice Actors

Clive Rosfield, or ‘Wyvern’ is the firstborn son of the Archduke of Rosaria and the main character in Final Fantasy XVI. Clive is a skilled swordsman able to summon the Phoenix’s powers, a blessing that soon turns into a curse…

Scorned by his mother, Anabella, Clive has sworn to protect his younger brother, Joshua, a soft-hearted boy bound by his royal duty. As the kingdom is swept by the destructive course of the war, Clive seeks revenge for what happened to his brother, navigating the chaos across Valisthea. Soon, he discovers a secret angle to his power; a revelation that will change everything he thought he knew about Eikons.

The voice actor for Clive in Final Fantasy XVI is Ben Starr, a well-known actor for his roles in television historical dramas. His previous video game titles include Arknights, A Way Out, Quantum Break, and Company of Heroes 2. Starr’s experience in period pieces seamlessly translates to his performance in Clive’s passage to adulthood, bringing resolute maturity to the role paired with a determined, vengeful demeanour that comes to define Clive’s character.

Joshua Rosfield is a key character in Final Fantasy XVI, as the Dominant controlling the Eikon of the Phoenix. Despite his noble upbringing tainting his young life with constant pressure and conflict, Joshua treats all his subjects with kindness and respect, and he is especially fond of his older brother, who he deeply admires. At the beginning of the game, Joshua is ten years old when his family is attacked by imperial forces, causing his Eikon to erupt and changing his and Clive’s fates forever.

Joshua Rosfield is played by the child voice actor Logan Hannan, who made his debut in video game roles as Hugo in A Plague Tale: Innocence and A Plague Tale: Requiem. He also appears as different voices in Hogwarts Legacy, including Archie Bickle, Lucan Brattleby, and Francis Doyle.

Jill Warrick is introduced to the game as a political hostage from the fallen Northern Territories. She was raised in the Rosfield household as a ward of Rosaria, where she was treated as a member of the family and became close friends with Clive and Joshua. When the three children are separated during the Night of Flame, the unstoppable power of the Eikon Shiva awakens within Jill, who decides to forge her own path by becoming a protector of the Iron Kingdom.

Voice actress Charlotte McBurney plays the 13-year-old version of Jill Warrick. She is the voice of Amicia in the Plague Tale video game series alongside her Final Fantasy XVI co-star, Logan Hannan.

After nearly a decade apart from the Rosfields, fate throws Jill in Clive’s path once more when she joins him on his quest as a companion and advisor. Like Clive, Jill is a skilled swordfighter filled with empathy and compassion for the oppressed Dominants across Valisthea, especially the Bearers.

The voice behind the adult version of Jill is the English actress Susannah Fielding, known for her roles in Diablo Immortal, CrossfireX, Cyberpunk 2077, and Sea of Thieves. Fielding has also played Shani in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

A recurring character name in the Final Fantasy franchise, Cid is known for his complex and often boisterous personality, impeccable engineering skills, and notorious penchant for tinkering.

In Final Fantasy XVI, Cidolfus Telamon is the lightning Dominant of the Eikon Ramuh. His goal is to free the Dominants from the war, staging a rebellion against the state and providing shelter for refugees at a secret hideaway.

Cidolfus’ voice actor, Ralph Ineson, has had a great year in video games. The English actor and narrator voices Lorath Nahr in the recently released Diablo IV, delivering a highly praised performance as one of the last surviving members of the Horadrim. His raspy and distinctively accented voice performance paints Cid as a wise, mysterious, and confident individual.

The ruthless Dominant of the Eikon Garuda, Benedikta Harman is the Warden of the Wind and one of the main antagonists in Final Fantasy XVI. Benedikta is also an intelligence officer serving King Barnabas on his mission to find and control the missing second Eikon of Fire.

Best known for her role as Kavetka in Peaky Blinders, the voice actress Nina Ydis has worked with Square Enix on several past titles. She is the voice of Uimet in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers and Edna in Bravely Default II. Nina Ydis has also appeared in other critically acclaimed game titles such as Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and Game of Thrones: A Telltale Game Series. She plays an additional voice in Lego Star Wars: Rise of the Skywalkers with her Final Fantasy XVI co-star David Menkin.

Once a nameless Republican Army soldier, Hugo Kupla’s awakening as Dominant of the Eikon Titan allowed him to emerge at the forefront of Dhalmekian politics as a formidable Economic Advisor.

Hugo’s desire for control and power is only matched by his lust for Benedikta Harman, with whom he shares a complicated romantic relationship in the game.

Alex Lanipekun is the voice actor behind Hugo Kupla in Final Fantasy XVI. He voiced Nil in the critically acclaimed Horizon Forbidden West and Zero Dawn and has played several roles in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Lanipekun has also made several appearances in popular TV series, including the Borgias, Homeland, the Rising, and the sci-fi satire Avenue 5.

Dion is loved and respected throughout Valisthea as a master swordsman with an unwavering devotion to his nation. Songs are written in his name, praising the honourable, humble crown prince and Dominant of the King of Dragons, Bahamut.

Dion’s position is threatened after his father’s marriage to Anabella, who strives to instil in him her obsession with blood purity. Similar to Clive Rosfield, Dion Lesage is courageous and persistent in his cause. But while Clive is driven by revenge, Dion ‘The Wise’ Lesage is driven by his ideals.

Dion’s Final Fantasy XVI voice actor is Stewart Clarke, known for his performances in Valkyrie Elysium, his role as Ethan Reed in Horizon Forbidden West, and several other appearances in video games such as Troy: A Total War Saga and CrossfireX.

A king cloaked in mystery and deceit, Barnabas is the embodiment of the dark knight archetype. His fabled black blade and spectral steed, coupled with his unmatched sword-fighting skills, are known to have single-handedly granted him his kingdom in Final Fantasy XVI.

Thanks to his powerful Eikon of Odin, Barnabas was able to suppress the rebellions across Valisthea and bring the eastern continent under the Waloeder occupation, spreading death and terror in his path with only one Dominant strong enough to oppose him.

The voice of Barnabas for Final Fantasy XVI is David Menkin, a Norwegian voice actor most famous for his role as Luke Skywalker in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga or his previous role in the Final Fantasy franchise as Magnus in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers. He has also appeared in Horizon Zero Dawn, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, and Alien: Isolation.

Notoriously cold-hearted and arrogantly elitist, the Duchess of Rosaria values her social and political status more than her two sons, Clive and Joshua. Following Clive’s rejection by the Phoenix Eikon, Anabella treats her firstborn as an outcast and a failure, openly favouring her youngest, Joshua. King Elwin and the entire realm frown upon Anabella’s behaviour towards the two children and even Joshua himself views her coldness towards Clive with distaste, but that doesn’t stop the Duchess from ordering his enslavement to the Empire, leading to his branding.

The English voice actress Christina Cole is known for her roles in The Call of Cthulhu, Vampyr, The Surge, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III, and over fifty TV series roles, including Doctor Who, the Blacklist, and Suits. Christina Cole’s performance has given us a version of Anabella that reflects the character’s cunning personality, defiance, and arrogance.
