Voice

Serah’s Japanese voice actress is Minako Kotobuki, whom I’m entirely unfamiliar with. I’ve never heard her performance as Serah as I default to the English cast (it’s a pretty great cast, okay) so I’m far more familiar with Laura Bailey, her English voice actress.

Laura Bailey has also voiced the Cloud of Darkness in Dissidia games which is a pretty big leap of good to bad, but it does let me cry about Farrons when she’s facing off against Lightning. Anyway, you might be familiar with Laura’s performances as Lucina from Fire Emblem, Cheria Barnes from Tales of Graces f, Rise Kujikawa from Persona 4, or Dagna from Dragon Age: Inquisition. Or maybe that’s just me.

I have, how should I put it, a problem for characters voiced by Laura Bailey. I’ve played games because she voices someone in it which is an automatic sell in my mental book of this game being worthy of my time. Is my love for Laura Bailey’s inflections the reason for this page? Probably. All I’m saying is it’s really not much surprise that I came to love Serah, given her voice actress. Even if Serah was the first performance I really heard her in. Sigh. She’s so great.
