Robbie Daymond, the voice behind Prompto from Final Fantasy XV, helped make one little girl’s Christmas extra special by recording a personalized greeting for her as one of her favorite characters.

Euphrates’ father had originally asked the voice actor what his rate would be to record the message, but rather than quote him, Daymond simply sent him the recording a few days later.

“Hey Frankie!! Here is a special X-mas message for your daughter! Hope she enjoys it. Cheers!” read the email from Daymond. In the message itself, the Prompto wishes Eurphates a “very merry Christmas” before singing a little bit of the Final Fantasy fanfare mixed with Jingle Bells.

“She’s absolutely in love with Prompto and is always quoting him and laughing at anything he says” said the girl’s father. “FFXV is the first game that has managed to pull her away from games like Minecraft and Roblox, which i find to be amazing.”

Pretty cool.

Funny that when Versus first announced Noctis's crew, I was cringing the most at Prompto being someone that was going to annoy me, but in the end, he's probably my favorite of the four.

 

[kulapik]

Euphrates is a badass name that sounds out of FFXV. that's sweet

 

[Ishida]

Best bro, confirmed (Again).

He instantly became one of my favorite Final Fantasy characters ever. And the voice acting is probably the biggest part of that.

 

[Ducktail]

#bestboy confirmed.

Seriously though, what a nice guy.

Definitely the best bro! Very nice of him.

You wouldn't get this sort of request for Igni's voice actor too.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I wish Nolan North ever answered my tweets about recording a line for me.

 

[Speedwagon]

That's cute

 

[Peroroncino]

Prompto is the best bro, I'm glad people have noticed. Great stuff from Robbie Daymond, huge props to the guy, it's such a small thing but can bring so much joy to somebody.

Spoiler

played it with japanese voice over

 

[PshycoNinja]

That's very nice of him. He's a great guy.

 

[Bladenic]

Best character, best voice actor (after Ardyn), and just an awesome thing for him to do. Also Euphrates sounds like a badass name

 

[TissueBox]

AWWWW!!

Prompto is awesome! Robbie Daymond is awesome!

And great to see this father and his girl's Christmas made. It's corny I know, but heya this is why we play. After really falling in love with the 4-man crew of FFXV myself in that special way only games can provide I could only imagine how perfect it woulda been for the girl to hear one of 'em wishing her a merry Christmas lol; talk about being a 4-dimensional character!! I would be bias-condemned for life after that but hey, profit. xP

Best boy recruiting gamers.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

hmmmm....

can he voice my fanfic?

 

[Galafar]

I often question myself why I like Prompto so much.

 

[Meowster]

There's a reason why Prompto is the best character in the game.

 

[Eblo]

Definitely my favorite character from FFXV. Warms my heart to see that the voice behind him is also a nice guy.

 

[SolidusDave]

Am I the only one who read "Special Holiday Massage"?

Me, too.
I clicked in disgust to find out more.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Good gesture, I liked the voice actor after watching the english cast videos.

 

[TheChocoboCadet]

I try to like Prompto so much, but goddamn he does everything he can to ruin a good picture with the "bloom" feature.

You can tinker with the photo filters so that they get used more, less or never.

 

[TKM]

Amazing. Way cool of Robbie Daymond.

 

[Fireblend]

That's pretty cool of him.

 

[Grisby]

Nice gesture.

I think he was the best VA in the game too.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

That's super nice of him!

This... is a gamechanger. Thank you for this piece of info! Prompto will redeem his status as #bestboy

 

[level1]

Best bro Prompto

 

[psyfi]

cuuuuute

 

[illmatic22]

That's pretty darn cool.

 

[TWILT]

BEST BOY
Really cool for him to do this.

 

[NintenDOMG]

Now, let's try this with the Parappa voice actors...

 

[davidwhangchoi]

i wish he would have higher HP though.

 

[Gurnlei]

Yet another reason why Prompto is the best.

 

[Ronzilla29]

That's so great on the father and voice actors part. It's things like this that the young lady will never forget. Like the saying goes sometimes the best things in life are free.

 

[hitmon]

Very cool of him.

 

[UrbanRats]

Does he have good phrases? I wouldn't know, in my playthrough he's dead face in the dirt after 2 seconds in every fight. :|

 

[Astral Dog]

I wish Nolan North ever answered my tweets about recording a line for me.

He probably doesn't want to record dirty lines to anyone.

 

[Mendrox]

Every generation has it's Final Fantasys, huh? Nice to see that and I love the dads comment in regards to Minecraft lol

 

[AlexFlame116]

Really cool of him! He made the little girl's Christmas!

 

[Tyaren]

#bestboy confirmed.

Seriously though, what a nice guy.

 

[Bucca]

..."Euphrates"?

Really cool of the VA to do this though.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

Stop stealing my heart, Prompto!

 

[ryseing]

Does he have good phrases? I wouldn't know, in my playthrough he's dead face in the dirt after 2 seconds in every fight. :|

i wish he would have higher HP though.

Accessories can help with that.

I unlocked the two accessories thing for Prompto ASAP so he could use the camera strap and an HP/defense accessory.
