'I had no idea what had happened': Final Fantasy 16's Ben Starr on becoming a meme, playing angsty roles, and which series summon he'd take on a date

Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy 16.

There's nary a thing to fault Ben Starr for, least of all his commitment to the bit. Since lending his voice to Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy 16—which finally launched on PC this week—Starr has cemented himself as a fan-favourite voice actor. A lot of that is thanks to the fact he doesn't take himself too seriously: From shitposting on Twitter, to cosplaying as Tifa, to becoming a whole-ass meme thanks to a particularly bright light at The Game Awards.
