Claire Morgan as Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum – Ni No Kuni II
Best Voice Actors of Q1 2018
It’s not always easy making the main character of your JRPG a young boy, as it’s a pretty typical trope to fall into. Ni No Kuni II, however, manages to do it well. Evan is a vain young man at the start of the game, having almost no experience with the outside world. With the help of Roland though, he begins to grow and learn, as well as form an idea of the kind of kingdom he wants to build. Evan fits perfectly into the Ghibli feeling that Ni No Kuni II goes for, thanks especially to his voice actor, Claire Morgan. Not only does she do a great job of portraying Evan’s young age, she fills the role with suitable enthusiasm and emotion at every turn.
Claire Morgan has a relatively short list of credits in video games, but you’ll no doubt recognize some of them. Also this year, she played Alex in the co-op hit A Way Out. She also played Anezka in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and Amelia Ruth in Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva.
