The voice actor who plays Yuffie in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is so good at fake vomiting that during her recording sessions, the team had to tell her to "tone it down."
In an interview with Final Fantasy developer Square Enix, Suzie Yeung discusses what it was like bringing the ninja to life in the sequel and reflects on a particularly memorable moment during the recording process. "It was when Yuffie got motion sick - and there are not too few of those scenes," the actor says.
"I just remember when we were playing it out, my director, Kirk Thornton, was like, 'Ok, I need you to really act like you’re vomiting right now. I need you actually hurl chunks!' So, I was trying to give my grossest reaction - and it was great and really fun!" You can't say that Yeung wasn't committed to the character.
"But then the team were like, 'Actually, you need to tone it down - they don’t really like that,'" the Yuffie actor adds. "In the original take it was quite a lot! Hopefully it’s scaled back a little in the actual game." If you've already played Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you'll know the scenes Yeung is talking about. Yuffie isn't a good flyer and if the take we've got in the game is scaled back from the original, it's probably a good thing the actor dialed it back.
Elsewhere in the interview, Yeung is asked the most difficult part about playing Yuffie, and surprisingly, pretending to vomit isn't it. "Yuffie is a very reactive character," the actor replies. "Everything about her is very ‘big’ - in contrast to the existing team, who I think are relatively serious and a lot more grounded. So, it was kind of challenging to balance that - to make her into something that’s not a caricature, or something that will stick out like a sore thumb."

Civil War’s forest-fire scene gave the director intense anxiety — because it was too good
Even though Alex Garland’s near-future catastrophe movie Civil War takes place during an American insurrection aimed at forcing an autocratic, democracy-destroying president out of power, it focuses more on the journalists covering the war than on who’s fighting who. That, Garland tells Polygon, was a choice he made because he wanted the story to be about why reporters are a critical part of a functioning society. That same agenda also shaped the look of Civil War: The movie is largely seen through the eyes of two photojournalists, veteran Lee Miller (Kirsten Dunst) and cub reporter Jessie (Cailee Spaeny). Their intent focus on capturing the perfect image made it important for Civil War to be visually striking.

Final Fantasy 16 Clive Actor Comments on Calls for FF Tactics Remake
Ben Starr, the voice actor of Final Fantasy 16's Clive Rosfield, has joined fans in calling for a brand-new entry in the Final Fantasy Tactics spin-off subseries. The first Final Fantasy Tactics game was first released in 1997 for the PS1 as a tactical RPG spin-off to the mainline games. The original game got plenty of critical acclaim and would become one of the franchise's most well-regarded spin-offs, which eventually created a mini-franchise. While the series hasn't had a new title since the 2007 remake of the first game on PSP, there are still a number of fans who are hoping the series will make a comeback one day, with Ben Starr being one of them.
