History Trivia / GrandiaII

** The rest of the cast, however, generally don't get pigeonholed, and most play multiple roles in the game's dub (Cam Clarke even does some TalkingToHimself early on).

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** The cast shares a lot of voice actors with ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', such as Creator/CamClarke, Creator/PaulEiding, Jennifer Hale, Peter Lurie and Kim Mai Guest. This might have been a case of FollowTheLeader as high quality video game dubs were uncommon at the time and ''Metal Gear Solid'' was an early exception. Incidentally, it also goes the other way around as John Cygan and Richard Doyle would provide voicework for later ''Franchise/MetalGear'' entries.
** Millenia's actress Creator/JodiBenson is best known for voicing Ariel in Disney's Little Mermaid franchise. Ryudo's actor Creator/CamClarke voiced Flounder in the sequel.

* PlayingAgainstType: The most obvious and cited example is Jodi Benson as Millenia, but Jennifer Hale, who generally plays ActionGirl types, voices shy, proper Elena. And despite Benson being the better-known singer of the two, it's Elena who does the singing in-game. Kim Mai Guest, usually cast as TheHeart of the ensemble, has a rare villainous turn as the game's religious nutter. ("God's light shall shine!!")

* HeyItsThatVoice: [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Leonardo]] must help a nun by the name of [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries Felicia Hardy]] who is possessed by [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]], and along they way they help restore a kingdom ruled by [[{{Voltron}} Princess Allura]]. They are aided in this endeavor by Leonardo's pet bird, [[Franchise/MetalGear Roy Campbell]], who also goes by [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Grandpa Max]].
** Let's face it: the ''entire cast'' is a "who's who" of popular voice actors from the late 90's and early 00's, including half the cast of ''Metal Gear Solid''. Compensating for the amateurish voice acting of the first game, maybe?
*** Ryudo is [[MetalGearSolid2 Liquid Snake.]]
*** Elena is [[MetalGearSolid2 Emma Emmerich.]]
*** Mareg is [[MetalGearSolid Vulcan Raven.]] Mareg is also Solid Snake... at least, in [[ApeEscape Ape Escape 3.]]
*** Tio and Selena are [[MetalGearSolid Mei Ling.]]
*** Melfice is [[MetalGearSolid2 Solidus Snake.]] This makes the choice to cast Cam Clarke as Ryudo and John Cygan as Melfice hilariously accurate, considering they also voiced brothers in [[MetalGearSolid2.]]
*** Zera is [[MetalGearSolid4 Big Boss.]]
*** Skye is [[MetalGearSolid Colonel Roy Campbell.]]
