Tales of Ariseis out on nearly every platform, and it’s the firstTales ofgame on consoles in five years - many fans are excited for the series big’s comeback, as it also includes a gorgeous cast, both in the Japanese and English voiceovers. And withTales of Arisebeing dual audio, you can enjoy both dubs with no worries.
Let’s take a look at the JRPG’s cast list. Keep in mind that some of the names of the characters below were not revealed before release and as such can be considered spoilers. We separated the cast list between the main playable characters and every other character that’s a possible spoiler.
Moreover, you should note that only the Japanese cast ofTales of Arisewas revealed before launch. The English dub cast was only partially announced right after release, and we’ll know it all once players reach the credits or if the voice actors announce their roles on social media. So if you’ve seen cast lists before release day, don’t take them at face value, they were all speculation based on the voices heard in trailers.
Fun fact about the seiyuu inTales of Arise
Before delving in, It’s interesting to note that when it comes to the Japanese dub, all the playable characters inTales of Arisewere picked through auditions.As confirmed by producer Yusuke Tomizawa. There was no typecasting like in pastTales ofgames.
In other words, none of the playable characters were designed with a popular seiyuu already picked. This is pretty different from how theTales of Seriesusually creates its protagonists. For example, Yuri inTales of Vesperiawas purposefully designed by Kousuke Fujishima with his seiyuu Kohsuke Toriumi in mind. This is also what miHoYo does with the characters inGenshin Impact, for example, picking a popular seiyuu directly rather than doing auditions.
On the other hand, if you’re a longtime fan of the series, you’ll notice all the antagonists inTales of Arisewere typecasted: they are voiced by seiyuu who voiced iconic pastTales ofcharacters.
