It appears when Ben Starr isn’t acting, he’s crafting strong viral posts on his many social media pages for the entertainment of fans everywhere, except all of his posts ratio in an odd way.
Many YouTube personalities throw in a one-line sentence in each of their videos, imploring the audience member to ‘like and subscribe’ or ‘hit that bell’ in the middle of the content. This is to retain audience viewership and keep numbers high, but one person who goes against the grain in this regard on social media is Final Fantasy XVI voice actor Ben Starr.
Starr currently has ~78,000 followers on his X (formerly Twitter) account, but his viewership continues to eclipse the hundred thousand, and even million view mark. Below, fans can see a post of his, titled ‘Clive and Karlach start a dating agency,’ where both Ben Starr and Samantha Beart (who plays Karlach in Baldur’s Gate 3) create a dating agency ad in character.
It’s worth noting that the dating agency post includes another prominent voice actor, Samantha Beart, but their X account also has a smaller following than the numbers suggest. Here’s another post from Ben Starr, using Final Fantasy XVI‘s Clive Rosfield as meme fodder for a Mariah Carey reference.
Ben Starr continues to post at a rapid clip on his X and Instagram accounts, where he amasses thousands of views despite the follower ratio. His pinned post on X (formerly Twitter) shows Starr alongside Final Fantasy series Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, with the caption “With Dad. #FinalFantasy.” That picture can be seen below in all of its glory.
While YouTube creators and other social media personalities continue to actively try to grow viewership, Ben Starr will likely continue to just post banger after banger on social media without care, especially considering there have technically been two Super Mario and Final Fantasy crossovers over the past three years. First, Sephiroth fights Mario in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now, Clive Rosfield (Starr) BECOMES Mario.
While this was a huge year for Ben Starr with his nomination for Performance of the Year at the Game Awards 2023, fans can keep up with him throughout 2024 by checking out his X (formerly Twitter) account to stay in the loop.
