“He is the Best Boy and our adventure buddy for life,” one fan writes on Reddit. “Also, the smoldering. Did anyone mention the smoldering?”

“Speaking as a G’raha simp, a watcher of Bridgerton, and an enjoyer of Wicked: Not surprised. Not one bit,” another user says. Sharing the story on X, another fan added: “G’raha Tia’s voice IS the sexiest in the entirety of 14 so I agree yea.”

The announcement has also triggered worries among some players that Bailey’s growing profile could make him harder to book for future G’raha recordings. As one commenter put it, “What’s the reaction going to be when they have to recast him because he’s too busy/they can’t afford it? Know he’s said he enjoyed the role, but logistically it might not be possible to keep using him, even in the more limited role G’raha has now.”

Bailey has previously acknowledged “how important this character is to so many people,” and said he was “so determined to not step away from this character” while performing in the stage production Company — to the point that he injured his tongue juggling live shows and recording sessions. Fans can hope that he’ll continue to lend his voice to Eorzea’s most charming catboy for years to come.

Square Enix finally says the words Final Fantasy 14’s MMO fashion devotees have waited years to hear: “From Patch 7.4 onward, you’ll be able to equip any glamours regardless of your class/job!”
