Gordon is greatest identified for his function as Greg within the Diary of a Wimpy Child motion pictures, however he’s additionally voiced characters in Kingdom Hearts 3.

As a personality, Tighnari is a bit cocky, and rightfully in order he’s sensible and robust within the storyline. He’s considered across the identical age as Albedo or different adults like Cyno; his previous voice mimicked that.
Sadly, Hoyoverse appears to have pivoted and determined to go for a unique voice kind altogether. The voice traces from knowledge miners make him sound much less assured and far youthful, which doesn’t match his character very a lot.
In the end, it doesn’t appear to go well with Tighnari’s character as he presently is.
