We've got some sad news today if you're a fan of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The voice of the character Bana, Stephen Critchlow, has passed away at the age of 54.
Critchlow's colleagues at the production company, Big Finish, were the first to share this information. The British talent was credited for his work in theatre, television, radio, film and voice acting. Apart from the Xenoblade series, he contributed to games like Dragon Quest, World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Fable 2, The Witcher 2, Inazuma and much more.
One of his most well-known roles in the realm of video games was as Count Edmont de Fortemps in the Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward expansion. He was also in shows like Torchwood and Doctor Who.
On behalf of the Nintendo Life community, our thoughts are with Stephen's family and friends during this difficult time.

Rest in peace. Bana was one of my favorite characters and he was hilarious.
Damn it, I loved his voice in XC2, and he seemed like a great person. RIP
He did great as Count Edmont in FF14.
Yet so young... thoughts to family and friends
Wow, so very young. RIP to a great actor
Didn’t we hear about another actor passing days ago?
What's his cause of death? That's too young to go out.
@Captain_Toad Might be cancer? But he was in good health though so idk
@Captain_Toad It's not been mentioned, but he did have a stroke in 2020 and was receiving medical support.
Rest in peace. He was an asset to XBC2
I loved his work as count edmont. Didn't realize he was in xc2 but I can't say any of the voice work in that game impressed me at all so that's surprising. May he rest in peace
@Bobb Yes he was. Some of us are paying our respects outside House Fortemps.
Too young. Like my brother. 😔
Sorry, to hear, all the best to the family.
Rip thanks for the hard work
Wow, seeing Big Finish on Nintendo Life is unusual.
@SilentHunter382 I saw people there, but that was before I heard of his passing. That was nice
Damn that's a shame. I really liked his work.
Wow, 54-years old is pretty young for someone to simply pass away. What was the cause? Did he get that awful Chinese coronavirus vaccine? That's been killing a lot of people lately.
@Bizaster I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I'm simply curious about the cause of death.
@Bizaster Stop trolling, please.
But why? People are suppossed to live more...
