Mad love for your work and especially your #Sephiroth. You were one of the main reasons why Crisis Core worked out so well. You brought him to life & gave him the voice he needed to tell his story. Holding on to hope to see you. #FF7R#FinalFantasyRemake. #OperationReunion
Just a gentle yearly reminder that the remake was on Newbern’s radar since 2015 & in 2016 during a con he told an interviewer he was getting his agent to contact SE. Its safe to saw he WAS available during those years leading up to the release of FF7R.

@ezraklein@juliaoftoronto Please include these people as people at risk of exposure as well as they have no WFH option, either. Face to face, even with barriers, is still face to face. If someone unmasked comes in and approaches colleagues (it happens a lot), it's exposure.
@ezraklein@juliaoftoronto I don't know where you're at, but where I live in the United States, regular retail (apparel, accessories, etc) is considered "essential" enough to stay open even though our ICU capacity is extremely diminished.
Sometimes, just listening to someone is enough - listening and remembering that a "no big deal" to you could be a "big deal" to someone else & for reasons you are not privvy to.
Cries for help come in many, many forms from silence to anger... From sorrow and joy.
Never forget.
@davidallengreen@garvanwalshe I'm far from perfect, but I hate hypocrisy and the last 4 years has shown a side to my family that I have a hard time reconciling.
You don't spend years complaining about lack of civil rights and condemning the lack of general welfare... only to do what they've done.
@davidallengreen@garvanwalshe I love my family, but I can't have any more civil discussions with them over politics.
Liberals = full stop stupid to some of them and said as much while looking straight at me... While conveniently forgetting that THEY sent me to one of the most liberal universities in the US.
If the veteran VAs of the #FFVIICompilation were undesirable, then why give them roles in post-2015 games like #DissidiaNT and #MobiusFF?
One supposes that the #MobiusFF's #FFVIIRemake Campaign in 2017 would have been a prime time to break ties & usher in the new VAs, but nope.
Even in a mega-corporation, publicly broadcasted "SURPRISE! YOU'VE BEEN FIRED!" dismissals is considered to be in poor taste and E3 is about as public of an event as a gaming event can be.
I have never been so embarrassed about one of my favorite game publishers as I was then.
Or, at the very least, told of their dismissal from their roles before the entire world at large is.
Finding out at the same time that their fans did is just wrong.
They may not be entitled to their old roles, but they are entitled to basic respect.

Even if voice actors aren’t “entitled” to roles, if they pretty much make a career out of voicing a certain character & fans wrongly associate them with that role, I think it’s only fair that they are the first to be cast/audition especially if they have worked hard for it.
@MorikunRinari If I were them, it wouldn't make sense to me to start doing work for the #FF7RRemake (which includes lending their voices to the #MobiusFinalFantasy campaign)... Only to not voice the remake after all.
Given their reactions, I think Newbern & Burton would agree...
@WalkerBragman But that Confederate flag being flown gives me reason to pause as it reminds me of the exact reason I fled my hometown so many years ago.
@WalkerBragman But by far and large, the worst was being threatened with the KKK by my own peers on the school bus because I wasn't like them and eventually, my family moved.
No, the general photo isn't necessarily a picture of poverty and generally speaking, there's nothing "wrong"...
Just taking a minute while on break to say that I support this 100% and would love to see our veteran VAs shine again in a DLC.
Mad love for them and all the work they've done over the years. Also, mad respect.
