Japanese casting spoilers?

[Fenral]

Full JP Fanfest details are up on the Lodestone, and something caught my eye as I was reading through it: Welcome to Naoki’s Room, Yoshi-P's talk show segment, has a total of five voice actor guests over two days. That wouldn't be remarkable on its own, except that three two of the five VA guests aren't currently credited in any installment of FFXIV.

Partial guest list:

Yuma Uchida
Tsuguo Mogami - voices Artoirel
Itaru Yamamoto - voiced Grynwaht
Aoi Yuki
Yoshino Nanjo - voices Krile

Starting from the top, Yuma Uchida is Maaya Uchida's little brother (and she voiced Ysayle), so I always figured the JP version's love of casting gags would have him brought in eventually. Was he Asahi? Could he be the Voice? (Are those two mutually exclusive with all the double- and triple-casting?)

I will admit I had no idea who Tsuguo Mogami is, but he's one of those guys with a truly stunning array of minor roles.

I also like to think I would have noticed Aoi Yuki if I heard her in-game (she's kind of a big deal, but also absurdly versatile), so I'm really wondering what she's doing at an FFXIV event, talking to the director of all people. For all I know she could have voiced Ultima, though, so who knows?


Not sure any of this is that important, especially considering the 4.X credits have yet to roll, but while we're all desperate for any kind of new information leading up to Fanfest and 4.56 I figured it was worth pointing out.
