I knew about Avalanche and who Barret was, but Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie were a little bit of mystery to me."įinal Fantasy 7 in particular is a special entry in the series. It's such a prolific franchise that even people that don't play video games have heard of Final Fantasy. I actually didn't know a lot about Jessie having never played the original Final Fantasy 7, which I have now played a bit of with Briana White. "I never had a PSP, so I went and watched all of the cutscenes via YouTube-and I cried," she says. Following that, she researched prequel Crisis Core.
#ERICA LINDBECK MOVIE#
Never having actually played any Final Fantasy games, Lindbeck became "weirdly obsessed with the lore" after watching Advent Children, the animated movie that succeeds the game. "I booked the role quite a while ago, with Square doing the trailer for the PlayStation Experience (PSX 2015) and Jessie ended up having the first English lines in the first English trailer, which was super cool." She says the initial audition was quite sparse, "It was only a few lines," she says. Ironically, a lot of these parts converged at a similar time for Lindbeck, who signed onto the Final Fantasy project five years ago.
She voiced the fascinating Futaba Sakura in Persona 5, as well as the cool and collected Cassie Cage in Mortal Kombat 11. She played the beguiling Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) in Marvel's Spider-Man. Since starting in the profession in 2014, Lindbeck has built up a wide catalogue of performances, with a rise in prominence through bigger titles as of late. At the time, I was really just starting out and it was huge for me." It was one of the first big games I'd ever booked but we didn't really know what it was, because we knew about the remake trailer with Cloud in Midgar but we just didn't know what it could be. "I remember getting a phone call from my agent saying I booked it," Lindbeck says. Likewise, the remake marks the inception of Jessie's voice-originated by Erica Lindbeck. Second time around, Jessie immediately establishes a good rapport with the main cast, and leaves a lasting impression via endearing writing that grounds the character in a way that many video game characters can only dream of. Jessie's anything but forgettable in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Her expansion in the remake is a welcome change, offering long-term fans the chance to be reintroduced to an initially forgettable side-character.
For anyone that has played Final Fantasy 7, the name Jessie barely leaves a footnote through the sprawling 40-ish hour adventure. This is one of many memorable encounters with Avalanche, a group of eco-resistance freedom fighters trying to prevent megacorporation Shinra from draining the planet's lifestream. "You passed the test!" says a cheeky, yet flirtatious Jessie Rasberry, before leaning over a still moving motorcycle and placing a kiss on Cloud's cheek. Spoiler Warning: This story contains spoilers for both Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the original Final Fantasy 7.
