Summary
Travis Willingham will voice Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, with Square Enix confirming the casting change after director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledged fans had noticed a different voice in the English trailer.
Hamaguchi said Tyler Hoechlin, who voiced Sephiroth in Remake, Rebirth and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, was unavailable for the third installment.
Square Enix did not name the replacement during the interview, but later confirmed Willingham to Maximillian Dood, and Willingham then announced on social media that he was "absolutely honored" to take on the role.
The switch marks a notable cast change for one of the series' central characters as Revelation heads toward release as the third game in the Final Fantasy VII remake project.
