Since its release I was always shocked that Final Fantasy XII was never quite embraced by Final Fantasy fans as much as most games in the series. Maybe it was the different battling system that took them by suprise? Regardless, to me FFXII stands as one of the best additions to the series and a large part of that is down to the voice acting. While the cast is great across the board one stand out character of FFXII is Balthier, a suave sky pirate with a heart of gold. Gideon Emery voiced Balthier and thus helped create of the finest characters in recent gaming history, in this writers humble opinion. However, there’s much more to Gideon than Balthier, folks. Gideons work goes beyond video games and into animation, TV and film. He’s an incredibly talented guy and someone who I always lisening out for in my games. Whether it’s playing a small role like Chellick from Mass Effect or a leading role such as Sam Gideon from Vanquish, Gideon always brings his exellence a project. Are you a Gidfan yet?
