Trivia / Elsword

• All-Star Cast: The Japanese dub casts some big-name voice actors as the main characters — Kenichi Suzumura as Elsword, Rie Kugimiya as Aisha, Yui Horie as Rena, Mamoru Miyano as Raven, Mamiko Noto as Eve, Miyuki Sawashiro as Chung, Satomi Sato as Ara, Marina Inoue as Elesis, Ryōhei Kimura as Add, Yuka Iguchi as Lu, Noriaki Sugiyama as Ciel, Ami Koshimizu as Rose (also count as Role Reprise), Shunsuke Takeuchi as Ain, and Emiri Katou as Laby.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Chung in Korean, Japanese, Indonesian (now closed), and English. Also Elsword too, but in Korean and Indonesian (closed).
• No Dub for You: Downplayed in Japanese version. It has no NPC voice acting in dialogues of Epic Quests and Tutorials. It's also does not help that Ariel's Japanese voice actress has passed away.
  • Taiwanese and Thai^note also Hong Kong, Filipino and Indian until their servers closed version kept the Korean voice. While the Chinese version discontinued from voice acting, leaving some partial dub.
• Official Fan-Submitted Content: Most servers around the world usually hold annual contests for costume designing and, occasionally, accessory designing.
• Playing Against Type: Brian Beacock as Raven and Bryce Papenbrook as Add.
• What Could Have Been: During development, the character Elsword was originally meant to be related with Elesis from Grand Chase, and Aisha and Rena were originally named Arme and Lire respectively. However, due the copyright reasons and Elsword and Grand Chase being hosted by different companies, this idea was scrapped.
  • Sakra Devanam's designs were to emphasize her curves more and give her more provocative movements and poses, but this was decided against. Signs can be seen on the artist Sando's home page a few pages back Here (While safe for work, may have some mildly provocative pictures.)
    • Yama Raja which appears to be the 'sexier' class is done by another artist known as Slyph.
  • By digging in to the client data, you'll find that Raven's Sword Taker class was originally named Soul Taker. The fact that he can leech opponents' HP with one (later two) skill as well as the text "+300 SOUL" when you used an Awakening Potion may be a reference to this. Later on they did make a class with a similar, but more developed concept: Elesis' Dark Knight.
