At times, elements were “deliberately subverted”. “Often, we’ve not gone for the obvious choice, we try to surprise ourselves.” adds Starr. This organic spontaneity helped Starr craft a sense of authenticity when recording his lines. When it came to recording voice lines, emotional fidelity was key Some of my proudest moments came from those instinctual moments where just comes out and you with a read, or a performance or facial movements for a line where you just wouldn’t expect it to be like that.” When it came to recording voice lines, emotional fidelity was key.“It wasn’t ‘do this’” it was “how does this emotion honestly strike you. “The aim of this is to make this game, even though it's high fantasy, to make it feel like we care about emotions and that they feel honest.”

“I had to completely rethink the way that I would perform to make it as natural as possible,” said Starr.

For Starr, all of this occurs within the context of a delicate balancing act between a need for “realism” and “high fantasy.” Final Fantasy 16 is attempting to capture the kind of grounded character drama that makes Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Persona 5 so memorable, without compromising the scale and spectacle that draws audiences to the fantasy genre in the first place.
