Steven Burton revealedย via Twitter that he will be voicing Cloud Strife in Square Enix’s upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake. ย Square Enix’s decision to add voices to the characters in the game further shows the differences the eagerly awaited remake will have when compared to the original. ย Final Fantasy VII for the Sony Playstation contained text dialogue with no voice acting and a turn-based battle system. FFVII remake, however, will have a full cast of voice actors and anย action-based battle system.ย ย Additionally, the game will come out in episodic format viaย multiple full-game releases. ย Outside of these minor details, ย very little has been revealed about the Final Fantasy VII Remake from Square Enix.
Hope you all have a great day. Flying to LA today for the @DaytimeEmmys this Sunday and a little voice over work 4 #cloud-strife much luv

Burton is no stranger to Cloud Strife. ย Steve voiced the character in Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, World of Final Fantasy, and Dissidia: Final Fantasy. ย Fans of his portrayal of Cloud Strife should have no issue with Square Enix welcoming Steve back into the role. ย George Newburn has not been confirmed to reprise his role as Sephiroth and Square Enix has continued to beย very tight lipped with updates to their legendary remake. ย So far, aย handful screenshots and early gameplay snippets were provided since its official announcement in June 2015.
