Cool! Except Allison Stoner played Xion in 358/2 Days. Does that mean its a typo or is the voice actor that should have played Xion from the beginning really doing it this time.

 

Maybe it is a typo because you're right. Hayden was kairi i think

Nimoy and Hayden are returning?!?!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!! I just effin' woke up and felt drowsy as fudge..but I'm awake now. 8'D

 

p.s I never want to hear Alyson's voice come out of Xion's mouth again, so please Hayden....STAY! ;A;

Nimoy, check. Osment, check. Gallagher, check. Flynn, check. Bridges???? Hedlund???? Kline????? Hulce??? Moore???? Wilde???? Still got some major BLANKS people!

Yay, Nimoy!

 

Hayden Panettiere's involvement in this was pretty much confirmed since this is a bigger-budgeted title than the DS titles, in which her characters were played by Alyston Stoner. Apparently, Hayden also voiced Xion in BBS, despite Stoner originally voicing her in Days, so it was likely that she'd return here.

 

Now, all we need is confirmation of Jeff Bridges and this list will be A-OKAY!

When did Hayden get to be Xion? I don't recall hearing Hayden doing voice acting to no other than Kairi Seem kind of strange when I was so used to Alyson

Hayden was supposed to be Xion from the very begining, seeing as Kairi's Japanese VA is also Xion's. But for whatever reason couldn't, but ever since BbS, she seems to finally be stepping into her other role.

I read somewhere awhile back that Hayden was struggling financially and charged people who wanted her autograph. Perhaps she's returning to these roles because she is in need of money? Or maybe she just couldn't do it those two other times. Or, maybe both.

Oh, Hayden Finally comes back to the series ^^

 

Sort of surprised at Nimoy's return, I thought he reitred.

She was probably busy with Heroes. Heroes ended early 2010 and she voiced Kairi in BBS, which came out later that same year. Re:COM and 358/2 Days both came out while she was still in Heroes.

awesome now to wait for the game *sit and wait* too long someone please make time go faster

Oh wow Nimoy is back? O: This is amazing :DD

Richard Epcar stated months ago that Nimoy would play Master Xehanort.

I have feelings

All the feels. I could cry tears of joy.

Richard Epcar stated months ago that Nimoy would play Master Xehanort.

 

When, where?

Awesome, I thought Nimoy was going to be replaced! Thank god he wasn't!!

When, where?

 

Months ago on his facebook where he corrected his statement "The next one"(referring to Xehanort), then later said he plays Ansem SoD and Nimoy plays Master Xehanort.

i was a little worried who would replace nimoy but that doesn't matter now

 

Let me just get my Delorean and Flux Capacitor and when that baby hits 88 miles an hour your going to see some serious shit

I was so glad that Leonard Nimoy is coming back!!!...But I was kinda disappointed that Alyson Stoner didn't come back to voice Xion...

I am not pleased to hear Alyson Stoner is not voicing Xion.....
