Final Fantasy has been a staple for many gamers since its first installment in the 80s so it's not hard to see why its community is one of the biggest and one of the most creative in the gaming universe. Unsurprisingly, Final Fantasy VII Remake shipped over 5 million copies worldwide, digitally and physically, since its launch on April 10, 2020, and also saw that nearly half of its players saw the game through to the end, despite it being pretty lengthy. Final Fantasy is also widely known for its amazing cosplayers who love to rock out as their favorite characters from the franchise but what you maybe won't see every day is the actual voice actors from the game taking part, too.

Briana White, who most Final Fantasy VII Remake players will know is the voice of Aerith in the remake of the PlayStation One JRPG from 1997, has posted on her personal Twitter account a couple of shots from a photoshoot with photographer Martin Wong showing off her amazing cosplaying skills as Aerith Gainsborough, the last of the Cetra, an ancient race with powerful magical abilities. Even though White has orbited the gaming and entertainment industry for a long time taking on the roles of an on-air host, commercials, YouTube and Twitch, cosplaying wasn't something she was too familiar with. Thanks to the help of Twitch streamer and cosplayer Lady Zero, White's beautiful dress and ribbon enabled her to slip into the role of Aerith perfectly. Briana also sought the help of professional makeup artist, Twitch streamer, and cosplayer Helloiamkate, completing the Aerith photoshoot. With such incredible talents merging together, Briana's cosplay resulted in some stunning images that really brought the character to life, just as great as the voice actor did vocally.

Briana White shared a video clip of her live-streaming the game and as Aerith is first introduced, we can see the Aerith voice actress begin to become very moved especially so when Aerith hands Cloud a flower. The Japanese voice actor for Cloud, Takahiro Sakurai had declared in an interview that if he had to choose, he would choose Tifa over Aerith.
