Personally, I think Matthew Fox would be a good fit. He played Jack on the TV show Lost and whenever I heard Ben Judd's sounds from the games it always made me think that Phoenix would sound a little like Jack. Here's some clips of him I found off youtube, although the way the guy edited it ruins some of the scene pacing.

I also occasionally imagine Phoenix's voice sounding like Zach Braff, although I can't picture that actually working. It's fine on the jokes but whenever Phoenix gets serious I lose it.
What about you? Who would you like to see voicing Phoenix.
I used to have Sam Waterston as my avatar but photobucket added a watermark and also Law & Order has been cancelled for 10 years so it's time for me to move on.

Yeah I've got no idea though I'd hate for Zach Braff to get the role, the image of JD and all my hatred for him is imprinted on that voice. Plus Old!Nick is wiser and cooler than the panicky Braff.

I agree. I wouldn't want Zach Braff to voice him. I think its the "sweating" Phoenix that started getting me to imagine his voice there sometimes.

JAT spoke Tidus, who was the most annoying protagonist every created, and his voice only amplified that matter. As for Yuri, well, I only know him well in Tales of the Abyss and I'm sure I've heard him in other sources but without noticing it, but his voice just doesn't work for me. The expression never seems to fit or isn't natural enough. Just slightly too forced...
In terms of japanese voice, well, if they really don't use Takumi... I guess I want Takayuki Kondo, who voiced Honda in YuGiOh! for a while. It just seems to fit well for Naruhodo and he voices him in promotional material anyway...

BE WARNED LINKS CONTAIN THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU SPOILERS (Apologies)
I guess This is as close as I get (really the last few seconds are the main bits I heard of him).
Mr H from TWEWY.
Granted that's only a few voice clips but hey I think GS4 Phoenix and I think Mr H.
Apparently his english VA is Bart Flynn (Possibly Quintin Flynn's bro?)
Also This is probably a better example of his voice

In all seriousness, I still think Matthew Fox is a good "voice" for Phoenix, but actors aren't always good at voice-acting. Also I thought he wasn't doing anything anymore and might be a semi-realistic choice but I just saw him promoting a movie so never mind. And unfortunately my animation/anime knowledge is limited to big-budget animated films I watched as a child and English-dubbed Miyizaki films I've watched with my little sister, both of which usually have big name, expensive actors doing voice work. So I guess I really can't contribute any serious discussion to this, to be honest.
Can anyone point me to any youtube videos of Sam Riegel doing other voices for other games/shows? I actually think his voice is fine, but it's his delivery that I think is bad. If that's just a problem with marvel vs capcom and not Riegel himself, then I won't have a problem with him.

He's just in too much stuff lately. Plus, well, if you've heard him in one Videogame, you've kind of heard him in all of them... He's not very flexbile with his voice. I know, not everybody can or shoul have to be LitteKuriboh, but if you make a professional career out of using your voice, you kinda should...

I think his Japanese seiyuu is Takayuki Kondo based on his objection trailer. As for his English VA, I don't really know. I hope Sam Riegal isn't voicing him.

I actually am really not against Sam Riegel voicing Nick, but ever since I found out he also voiced Teddie in the remake of Persona 4 (who is this thing: http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/ori ... teddie.jpg ) I don't think I could take Nick seriously if they shared a voice. Especially given that said remake of P4 made me realize something: Riegel has a tendency to *horribly* overact in emotional scenes when he's voicing a character he's not used to yet...

(Seriously, though, I love his voice and don't find it inflexible at all. If you played ToS2, he does a great job at distinguishing the voices of the two split personalities of his character there. But, yeah, I agree, he's a bit overused lately.)

While that is true, part of the charm of Teddie's character is that he has a very serious side (which he usually tends to keep to himself) as well and knows when to tone the ridiculousness down and get serious. Teddie's previous voice actor, Dave Wittenberg, as well as his japanese voice actor, Kappei Yamaguchi, capture this perfectly and their preformance actually made me get really emotional in the really relevant scenes regarding the character in the game, but Riegel? Riegel just can't seem to find the balance between "Over the top ridiculous" and "Over the top emotional". Teddie's supposed to be somewhere in the middle, but Riegel was constantly swinging from one extreme to the other. That's just my opinion, though.

My problem with Riegal is that he voices mainly adolescent teenagers and men in their early twenties. I was fine with him voicing young!Phoenix, but older!Phoenix? The voice he typically uses doesn't suit older!Phoenix at all. Given that he hasn't had landed many mature roles, his performance might not be too great.
A person's voice doesn't change that much between their 20s and 30s, at least not as much as it does between their teens and 20s. Someone who's used to voicing people in their early twenties can probably do someone in their early thirties, as long as they remember to keep the pitch down a little bit more.

Yes I have played Knight of Ratatosk (it doesn't deserve the Symphonia title attached to it! It's a spin-off, not a proper sequel!) and while JYB did make a distinguishing bit between Emil and Ratatosk..... he just want's intimidating or scary or insane enough as Ratatosk. But he was also Guy in Tales of the Abyss - and I admit, it is hilarious to dub Power Rangers over JYB's game characters - and... really, that guy has been in too much stuff. I just don't think his voice would work for Phoenix.

Well....perhaps it's just the new voice actor in the remake since I've not really heard much having not played it. I'm working through the dub of the anime so I've heard a little of his voice but from what I recall even Teddie's beary serious moments still have him sounding like a child in trouble or just plain confused.
Gah perhaps it's just the thought of freakin Teddie as PW, I'd need to see some of the VA's other work to make an opinion on him,

Oh, in itself Ratatosk is a decent game. But not if you think of it as a Tales game - other than the Symphonia Cast, it has parts in it that feel wrong or, mostly, just plain missing to call it a Tales game. Like, what about Holy Bottles? Those completely disappeared from the game. The option to remove equipment other than weapons? Or skills set on the directional buttons? Also gone. Also lacking more sidequests - particularly ones that actually give me good rewards rather than just explain Magnar's crush on Alice, a guy I don't care about - and costume titles. No costume titles? What the hell. It might explain why people survived without having Mana in their bodies in Phantasia.... but it doesn't explain why Mana supposedly completely didn't exist in the past of Aselia (4200) while in the present timeline, there was Mana (4400), like it was an entirely new thing.

Teddie? What, that freakish little non-bear looking thing from Shin Megami!?
Oh dear god!
I suppose Yuri Lowenthal is a possibility for Phoenix, but.... well, he is another that I don't know to have very much versatility. I dunno, he just sounds... 'weird' if he lowers his voice to make it more mature?

I'd be fine with Sam Riegel reprising Wright. The only thing that would have to be changed is putting a little more oomph into his Objection and Hold it. The ones in UMvC3 sounded somewhat restrained compared to the yelling at the top of his lungs that Phoenix did when he objected in the AA games.
Of course, since it's an older/more mature Phoenix, some restraint might be what they're shooting for.

When I try to imagine Phoenix using a bit more restraint when yelling, he sounds more cocky to me. And that would just fit Edgeworth so much more... But then, I doubt that GS is going to become more mature/restrained in the courtroom, even with the new darker settings. I'm sure people are still going to overreact to the tiniest of things, so Phoenix still yelling
at the top of his lungs is bound to 'fit'.C-A

Yeah there don't seem to be many games where that's an option... only ones I know of are Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 and Dead or Alive 5, where the former was sort of cheaper, as there wasn't that much talking except stockphrases. I did read, though, that Hideo Baba from the Tales Of Series is at least looking into Dual Audio as an option, so hopefully, other game companies will follow his example and give us that option...
