It probably has something to do with travelling and he's getting a little old for it. That, or it could be all the money spent getting Leonard Nimoy, Willa Holland and Jason Dohring. >>; Which reminds me....they really need to stop getting celeb VAs so they can afford Christopher Lee.

That...was me. >>; I'm...actually kind of surprise someone here took notice. I found a decent Jiminy. And it has nothing to do with the game's localization.

So far all the voices work. However, I need to hear cutscene dialogues before I get impressed.

It's not confirmed at all. Pure speculation. I got it form IMDB which so far hasn;t lied.(well once) then agian...Its true...Bret Iwan is king mickey...of course if your gonna say IMDB is wrong, then maybe Bret Iwan isn';t playing mickey, maybe lenord Ninmoy isn;t Xehanort, or Pretty Boy McGee isn't ventus. maybe they are gonna hav ejesse as simply roxas,and get Haley Joel Osment as Ven,whihc would be epic! Unlike those, Mark Hamill's choice isn't so obvious. Willa Holland was obvious, cause Aqua was the only female in the cast. Jesse McCartney is supposed to be Ventus. And we already heard Leonard Nimoy as Xehanort. But, the press release said nothing confirming this other than the names of the actors (other than 3 out of 4, whose roles are pretty obvious at this point). And anyone can edit IMDb. It's just about as reliable as Wikipedia. Also Bret Iwan has an legit source (that isn't IMDB) that has confirmed the role he is playing. =/

It's not confirmed at all. Pure speculation.

The crazy man (Nomura) doesn't pick the VAs, the casting directors do. I still don't get what's wrong with Alyson Stoner's performance. I rather have Mark Hamill be Terra. I want to see where he takes the character. Partially right. Nomura has a hand in choosing the seiyuus, but like you said, VAs are chosen by casting directors. well duh, I'm more pissed off at the casting direcotrs...they pick good actors,but put them in the worng charater! Ryu, You voiced EraqusSo, I thoguth ti would make you happy that The Joker is playing you! Voice wise, ive seen some worst, some better...I understand the casting direcotrs for picking Nimoy as Xehanort,but Still, I think Hamil cna deffientlly pull that off. just like that *snaps* He's freakign talented.... both of them are. I want Master Spock vs. Darth Luke! would be awsome... Yeah, but the idea for Mark Hamill playing Terra excites me, because he never did a role like that before. He's been playing roles that are Larger-Than-Life, includes Luke. And, I'm not Eraqus. I'm just a guy who just got lucky to even play him (despite not liking how I voiced him at times). But, I think he can definitely pull off Eraqus.

Actually, Aqua's voice is pretty feminine and friendly, and only goes badass in serious moments. 99.9% isn't very accurate either. Besides, you haven't heard the voice on the character. So, it's too soon to judge her performance on her. I still don't get how it sounds bad.

But how? ....he's old.

I'm still confused. How the heck does it sound like Yoda?

:huh: I don't get it. How does it suck?

The only fair way to declare it real (or fake) is the trailer that'll come out (maybe) at E3.

I don't get how people are thinking it sounds like Yoda. It sounds nothing like it.

Some people believe it's Leonard Nimoy, you know, Spock from Star Trek. He's retired, so no Well, the recording happened late 2009. He retired last month. But, yeah, I agree. That sounds like Nimoy.

What? No both option? Mutiny!

Changing my predictions and/or wishful thinking. Terra Billy Crudup (Ashitaka, Princess Mononoke) Sam Witwer (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed) Aqua Sarah Michelle Gellar (TMNT, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer) Alison Lohman (Nausicaa)

Not confirmed, but Sam Witwer's normal voice would work very well. He doesn't really need to make it deeper.

Do you have a screenshot of your e-mail?

I only only heard him twice. Not nervous at all. Honestly, would you really think Disney would hire something completely different? He sounds a bit lighter than Wayne Allwine.

I think Nomura's blog said he just finished playtesting of the "last episode of Coded." And he posted that blog awhile after episode 7 and BBS is just about to release in Japan (a week before?). So...

Yes, those are confirmed. Except Richard Epcar. ...he didn't really confirm or deny his involvement. Same with Derek Stephen Prince.

Uh....I'm flattered that you liked my Eraqus so much...but...you're kind of pushing it there. They have not picked me, and I doubt my voice would pass off as a professional thing. And on top of that, other voice actors (confirmed ones) say it's already finished.

On those two, I just simply think their voices fit. On top of that, they're great actors. As for Haley Joel Osment as Vanitas, he's a competent actor. I'm pretty sure he can sound evil. ...in fact, anyone can. =/ And if he isn't Vanitas, you'd be denying what the writers (no matter how nonsensical) set up.

It shouldn't be too long before Square releases a press release

My dream cast pretty much stays the same... Terra - Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Pettrelli, Heroes) Aqua - Anna Paquin (Rouge, X-Men movies; Shita, Castle in the Sky) Vanitas - Haley Joel Osment (Sora, Kingdom Hearts) Eraqus - Liam Neeson (Aslan, Chronicles of Narnia) Xehanort - Christopher Lloyd (Rasputin, Anastasia)/Mark Hamill (Avatar: The Last Airbender) ...yeah.
