One of the biggest changes to the western version of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is the addition of quality English voice acting. We’ve taken this list of actors directly from the credits of Dragon Quest XI’s voice actors & voice cast. Here are the voice actors of Dragon Quest XI’s voice cast.
Rasmus Hardiker as The Luminary
JRPG fans should recognize Rasmus Hardiker as the voice of Tora in last year’s Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but he’s played roles in other games like Soul Sacrifice, as well as TV shows like Thomas and Friends and Your Highness. He may not have as much to say as other characters, but here he’s the voice of the Luminary, the main character of Dragon Quest XI.
