Final Fantasy 7 Remake: John Eric Bentley on Voicing Barret, Stereotypes, and the Victory Fanfare - ComicBook.com

With Final Fantasy VII Remake having been out for some time, now seems as good a time as any to look back on Square Enix's achievement from earlier this year what with "game of the year" discussions happening at many outlets.

One of the obvious standout aspects of the remake is the English voice cast, which includes John Eric Bentley as the voice of Barret Wallace, leader of AVALANCHE.

ComicBook.com had the opportunity to chat with Bentley via email earlier this year about all things Final Fantasy VII Remake from doing the little victory fanfare to historic criticisms of Barret Wallace as a character.
