Oh shit, if we get more scenes focusing on MX in RE:Mind, who’s going to voice him in English? Ralph Fiennes?

    Rest in Peace Rutger Hauer! You were a pretty good Master Xehanort and I will always remember you in Batman Begins, Blade Runner, Buff the Vampire Slayer, Wanted: Dead or Alive, and Sin City.

    I know! It's so sad how we've lost so many during the years! Wayne Allwine, Allan Young, Leonard Nimoy, and now Rutger Hauer and Russi Taylor! May their souls rest in peace!
