Xenoblade Chronicles X producer producer Shingo Kawabata handled today’s Twitter update, in which he briefly talked about the game’s voice cast.
Here’s what was shared:
“I wasn’t really informed of this, but it seems we’re planning on updating the official site every week. I wonder if we’ll be all right? Then again, Nomura and the web design staff are extremely motivated, so I’m sure they’ll work hard for your sake.”
“As we present our characters, we’re also revealing the people that have lent us their voices. We’ve managed to acquire an outstanding cast, so you can look forward to hearing their work. As there was such a large amount of text, recording [the voices] took a lot of work, but the entire cast was exceptionally professional. The end result, of course, is perfection.”
Just in case you’re wondering, here’s the voice cast for Xenoblade Chronicles X:
Elma – Houko Kuwashima
Lynlee – Mariya Ise
Tatsu – Daisuke Sakaguchi
Irina – Nao Takamori
Van Damme – Tessho Genda
