Jesse McCartney, the voice actor for Roxas in the English releases of games in the Kingdom Hearts series, has confirmed via Twitter that localization for Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX- is currently underway.

This is the first time that we've heard any confirmation of this, so it is certainly a big deal! McCartney uploaded a picture of work being done in the recording booth. You can see a scene from 358/2 Days playing in the background. This can be seen below.

Update 1: McCartney has uploaded a video of himself recording battle sounds for the game. In the background, footage from the title can be seen. We have uploaded this to YouTube, and it can be seen below.

Update 2: Alyson Stoner, the voice actor for Xion in the English version of 358/2 Days, has mentioned via her official website that she will be "Voicing a familiar character in a popular video game (can’t spill details yet)" in 2013. Thanks go to KHInsider for the find. As her only two video game roles have been Xion in 358/2 Days and minor roles in Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension, it sounds likely that this "familiar character" is in fact Xion. Stay tuned!

    With the localization already underway it shouldn't be too long until a release date will be given, I hope.

    I'm so excited for a confirmation. I don't even know what to say, I'm speechless.

    I also thought David Gallagher said they do battle sounds on the last day of recording so they don't strain their voices. If that's true I hope nothing happens to make it take longer.

     

    I'm happy to hear but it's so weird seeing those facial expressions for the first time while making those grunts xD

    I pretty much imagined the voice actors making those types of faces to produce the grunts, with the only difference being the character portrait in the game usually winces from pain and closes the characters eyes.

    As all of you may know Jesse leaked a lot of info on the localization of KHHD, and I knew this was gonna happen but he took it down. I mean everything, the video the photos on Instagram, even the tweet. But I just went on to his Instagram and saw he posted a less bold statment, saying "In the studio, where else.."

    I think it has to do with his contract, most of the time they can't say anything about what they're doing. Ben Diskin mentioned something like that before Kh3d came out. Hopefully he can be vague and still update us.

    Well we all knew this was going to happen at some point, but we at least know now that it is gonna be localized!!!! It really doesn't matter now seeing how we already know about it.

    I hope this doesn't risk him still being the VA.. Anyway I love how the VAs are for KH, very down to earth.. Well I think so ^_^

    We just need to spam the internet saying that we like what he did.

    I think so too, lol. Him being replaced would suck, there are enough characters who constantly have to have be filled in for. I love that he's always reprised his role.

    This post and your earlier status made me paranoid, what if they release just the video volume here like with Re: Com?

    I know, really.  I personally think he's perhaps the best voice actor in the game (or at least nearly) -- they'd seriously lose a lot if they decided to fire him.

    He took that risk knowing he won't get fired. We'd cause internet hell if he was removed from the series and SE knows it. σωσ

    Yeah, agreed.  Fans wouldn't be too happy of his removal. :P  'Sides, he's too important; no one's going to fire him.

    I like David Gallagher's perfomance better than Jesse's but they both rock. Roxas is my favorite character though.

    I hope your right, because nothing is set in stone.

    I can't help but laugh at the fact that he had to take down the KHHD stuff he posted up, I mean I'm laughing because I saw it coming. Hasn't Jesse McCartney leaked stuff about KH that he wasn't supposed to in the past? Nevertheless, I'm still glad he posted all that stuff up in the first place
