The voice behind Final Fantasy 14's G'raha Tia was so dedicated to the role, his tongue swelled up on the West End: 'I had to record this in the day doing eight shows a night'

An image of G'raha Tia, a red-haired Miqo'te, biting into a taco in Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail's trailer.

Final Fantasy 14 has a stellar cast of voice actors for its English version—backed up by some genuinely great translation from its localisation team. One such actor is Jonathan Bailey, who plays beloved catboy and friend to the Warrior of Light G'raha Tia, though he's also famous for his role in Netflix's Bridgerton as Anthony. Fair warning: I'm going to get into some story spoilers for Shadowbringers and Endwalker in a moment.

In case you're completely unfamiliar—FF14 has a central cast of characters called the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and G'raha Tia (formerly known as the Crystal Exarch) is one of them. Bailey has a staggering amount of dialogue to perform for the game's cutscenes, and the character, a heartfelt confidant to your own self-insert, has left a major impact on the game's players. Myself included, if you check my author bio at the bottom of this article.
