Who Is Voicing Vincent Valentine?
Matt Mercer is a well-known voice actor known for countless roles. He is best known for roles like Leon S. Kennedy in various Resident Evil titles and Ganondorf, most recently in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
With such a diverse and expansive background, Matt Mercer will surely do a great job with Vincent Valentine in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. He takes over for Steve Blum, who voiced the character in Dirge of Cerberus and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
