#I can't believe I basically wrote an ope letter to Roger and Jason

With all this hype for Sonic Forces I’ve found myself looking back at the games that came before it and just going “wow” in amazement. Like, I love the Sonic games and their plots and their songs and everything, but looking back on them I’m getting like...a strange sense of nostalgia even though I haven’t played most of them?
Which kinda brings me to my next point. I feel like Sonic Forces is Roger Craig Smith's first big game, and what I mean by that I mean in terms of how impactful the game will be. Whether the game “flops” like Sonic 06, or becomes the “next greatest thing since white bread” like Sonic Unleashed/Generations doesn’t really matter. What matters is that the game will leave a big impact on Sonic.
Okay, now why am I saying this? Well, despite how weirdly I set this up, I’m writing this really just to express how happy I am for Roger, but also how sad I am that Jason Griffith is no longer doing Sonic. I KNOW, IT’S WEIRD considering the context and how I’m writing this. But re-watching the cutscenes from previous games, and re-watching Sonic X just got me feeling super nostalgic and making me realize just how much I miss his work. I actually have some very major feels because of this. :”D
But enough rambling, I don’t really know how to express my feelings about this properly so I’ll just stop while I’m ahead. jfgfjgh
So, to Roger Craig Smith. If by chance you find this, I’m so happy for you! I love your work on Sonic and it’s really nice to hear your voice! I always look forward to hearing your Sonic voice and I can’t wait to play Sonic Forces. <3
And to Jason Griffith, if you see this somehow. Whenever I think of Sonic I think of your voice first. You left such an impact on Sonic and on me. I’m glad you got to voice him for as long as you did. I really do miss hearing you play Sonic, Shadow, and heck even Jet! I wish you the best of luck on your future voice acting gigs, as well as your son! I look forward to seeing whoever you voice next. <3
