Summary

Neil Newbon talks about Final Fantasy in a new interview, revealing that Final Fantasy 8 is his favourite entry.
In a potential remake, he would choose to play Seifer, feeling that there would be a lot to explore in this performance.

Neil Newbon, the actor behind Astarion in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3, shares his thoughts on who he'd play in a hypothetical 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 8 remake - and it's not Squall. No, Newbon would much prefer🌊 to play Seifer, as he feels he'd be much more "int✅eresting" to explore.

This comes from Newbon's chat with which airs this Sunday evening. In the interview, Newbon reveals that Final Fantasy 8 is his personal favourite 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy game, and he has a lot of thoughts on who he'd play in a potentia💞l remake of the classic.

Neil Newbon Would Love To Play Seifer From Final Fantasy 8

Neil Newbon being interview by Ginx TV. He has short brown hair and is wearing a distressed grey jumper. He is also wearing a neckalce with rings and a small sword attatched, and has black painted nails.

"Seifer, he wants to be appreciated," explains Newbon. "When you come back to all of it, why he's such a bully and why he's so aggressive, you go back to the co🐟re value of the character - he just wants to be loved and respected and taken in. Which is very common in many characters, but it's an interesting thread to follow - because the♛n he's not a 'villain'."

Don't get your hopes up for a remake, however. Both the directors for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 8 itself 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:didn't sound overly enthused about it when it was discussed earlier this year.

He continues, diving into how he approaches playing less-than-virtuous characters. "I don't play villains. I play people that are so🧔metimes morally questionable," he explains. "You have to love them and you have to play them in a way where you're hoꦆnouring their story, you can't judge them for it.

"Seifer is a very interesting character because it comes from such a deep place of insecurဣity and he does all these things trying to prove himself, and does the wrong thing, for the right reason - and ultimately he's the one that gets punished."

As for Squall, he does see the potential there, but ultimately feels that there would be less for him to work with - he's too much of a 🌌Romeo.

"Nobody wants to be Romeoꦦ. Romeo is a hard role," says Newbon. "I actually did Romeo & Juliet, I played Tybalt. [...] But I have to say, I did not envy Paul [Reddy, actor] who was playing Romeo, because it's a tough role because you've got to be the ultimate young lover, and there's not a huge amount of room to play with that character I feel. Whereas, with Mercutio and Tybalt, there's a l🔯ot of stuff you can play with."

Neil Newbon's full interview will air on Ginx TV this Sunday🐎 on Freeview channel 282 and Sky Glass channel 419. It will also be available through the Ginx TV website via 𒁃a Patreon subscription.
