When Hero originally began development, he was planned to be silent, similar to previous ''Dragon Quest'' protagonists. However, with the addition of voice acting in the Japanese version of ''Dragon Quest XI S'' (as the localized version of the original ''Dragon Quest XI'' had voice acting from the beginning), plans were changed and voices for all four Heroes were added.<ref>https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1143911723356676096</ref> In addition to being the first game with official voice acting for Erdrick, Solo and Eight, Sakurai shared some interesting pieces of trivia about each of the Heroes' voice actors and their recording sessions:

*Luminary's voice actress, {{iw|wikipedia|Mitsuki Saiga}}, reprises her role from ''Dragon Quest XI S'', thus technically making ''Ultimate'' her debut voicing the character. However, she was directed to have more energy in her vocals to better fit the style of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

*Erdrick's voice actor, {{iw|wikipedia|Nobuyuki Hiyama}}, notably voiced the adult {{iw|zeldawiki|Hero of Time}} in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}'', ''[[Link (SSB)|Smash 64]]'', and ''[[Link (SSBM)|Melee]]''. Of the four Heroes, his recording session was completed the fastest because of his extensive experience. Sakurai also notes that his performance can be recognized as Guy Shishioh from ''{{iw|wikipedia|The King of Braves GaoGaiGar}}''.

*Eight's voice actor, {{iw|wikipedia|Yūki Kaji}}, apparently dreamed of doing voice work for the ''Dragon Quest'' and ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, and he was enthusiastic to fulfill both at the same time in ''Ultimate''.
