What Other Work Have These Actors/Actresses Done?
In the role of protagonist Val, Stephen Fu is an up-and-coming VA with some huge franchises under his belt. Previous roles include Demon Slayer’s Doma, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’s Weather Report,Street Fighter VI’s Jamie, andFire Emblem Engage’s Diamant.
Meanwhile, his childhood friend and Alm of Fire, Hinna, is played by another big up-and-comer, Anairis Quiñones. Quiñones has had huge success with roles like Echida in Re:ZERO, Mirko in My Hero Academia, Nessa in Pokémon: Twilight Wings, and protagonist Alex in the upcoming horror gameA Quiet Place: The Road Ahead.
As for the other Alms, three out of the four (Careena’s Rachel Rial, Palamena’s Vanessa Lemonidas, and Julei’s Amber Aviles) are fairly new actors, only having a little on their resume. Regardless, their performances in Visions of Mana are sure to certify them as soon-to-be household names.
Rounding out the Alms is Morley, whose VA is quite the hot ticket right now: Kaiji Tang. Roles of notability include Fire Emblem: Awakening’s Owain,Persona 5’s Munehisa Iwai, protagonist Ichiban Kasuga inYakuza: Like a DragonandLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and, of course, Satoru Gojo inJujutsu Kaisen.
The other cast members are a pretty unique bunch, but one game is a common occurrence in their resumes:Genshin Impact. The game is a huge hub for new and upcoming VAs, so it’s no surprise to see many of the characters sound familiar to Travelers. Some notable voices include Caleb Yen (Gaming in Genshin Impact, Sylphid in Visions of Mana, and also VA forthe protagonist in Metaphor: ReFantazio), Crystal Lee (Clorinde in GI and Goddess of Mana/Mariyah/Francine in VofM), Corina Boettger (Paimon in GI, Madeline/Dudbear in VofM), and John Patneaude (Kinich in GI, Daelophos in VofM).
