Man.

Axel's original VA has unfortunately died. I think Square Enix will dedicate Kingdom Hearts 4 to his memory.

Wait what?

Yeah, he died in 2020

Shame too- that dude was Reno, and a whole bunch of other great characters

Too be clear; They're talking about the Japanese voice actor

Ok, that's what I was confused about lol

Quinton Flynn is still alive... for better or worse

I literally cannot see anyone else voicing Axel, but Quinton is...

Could cast the guy who voiced Reno in 7R

Arnie Pantoja?

No idea, I've just seen som clips, and he sounds close enough

Yeah, I could see it

What actually interesting was that Reno was voiced by Quinton Flynn in Advent Children and Crisis Core

That... was my point

Ah makes sense

I remember Quinton kept complaining on his Twitter about the recasting. So it would be low-key hilarious if they recast him in KH as well using the same guy they recast him with in 7R

l stiII don't get why that recast happened

Me neither

especiaIIy since that wasn't the case during the reveaI gamepIay traiIer

conflictions with KH3?

at Ieast for CIoud

what sense does that make?

they don't share many voice actors

Every character was recast for 7R

Fresh Start? Don't know

That's basically what it was

that might make the most sense
