Ben Starr, a rising star in the world of video game voice-acting who we've long warned has his sights on taking Troy Baker's place, is back at the behest of his overlords at Square Enix. In a hilarious video, Starr makes light of himself, recommends excellent RPGs, and proves his video game bona fides by having the same unflinching answer as this scribe to the age-old question: Which Final Fantasy is best?

Starr, who voices protagonist Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy XVI, recommends a bunch of wonderful RPGs from publisher Square Enix that, coincidentally, just so happen to be on sale until 26th March on the PS Store.

Declaring that Lulu from Final Fantasy X is "hot" and confirming that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is, indeed, "peak", we can't help but nod along with the words Starr says, and yes, perusing the list of games Square Enix has on sale, despite owning the vast majority of them. Along with Luke Dale inhabiting the role of Hans Capon, are we entering a bold new era for video game marketing?

What do you think of this bold piece of marketing from Square Enix, harnessing the raw power of Starr to do so? What is it about the British accent that makes one sound so knowledgeable and authoritative? Do yourself a favour and fire up Final Fantasy VIII before venturing into the comments section below.
