Favorite KOS-MOS VA?

I found this on YouTube today and it got me thinking...

In Japanese, KOS-MOS has always been portrayed by the same actress. In English she's had a bunch of different actresses.

Personally, I'm still partial to Bridgette Hoffman, that's what KOS-MOS will always sound like to me but I'm curious what others think.

I also wonder if she was portrayed in other languages at any point. As far as I'm aware the main games were only released in Japanese and English but I wonder if she got other dubs for like the animation or possibly Xenoblade 2 at any point. If so I'd be curious to hear those.

Bridgette Hoffman is the definitive KOS-MOS for me, though I think of her and Mariko Suzuki as pretty interchangeable.

I really do like Mariko Suzuki (and the rest of the Japanese cast) the more I listen to the JP audio. The consistency across media (including XenoComi, The Animation, Outer File, etc) is nice. The various English dub teams did a great job, IMO; they were well-cast, and I absolutely include the VAs for the dub of the anime (which I finally watched earlier this year). It's fascinating to hear how well they captured the voice direction choices from the Japanese version when they were recording the dubbed lines.
