Well not the COMPLETE cast, but a good amount of the English cast. I find the new VAs for Tifa and Aeris most interesting.

These characters look and act just like movie counterparts (KH2’s Sparrow even has those Keith Richards–inspired mannerisms down pat), and combat here takes an interesting twist, as you can hurt the cursed crew of the Black Pearl only when they step into the moonlight and show their true forms. Just don’t tell your girlfriend that Johnny Depp and the rest of the Pirates cast won’t be voicing their characters here (“scheduling conflicts” is what we’re hearing).

Nomura’s Corner

The success of the Kingdom Hearts franchise (not to mention designing Final Fantasy characters and heading up this spring’s CG movie FFVII: Advent Children) has made Director Tetsuya Nomura a big name in the videogame industry. Check out his thoughts on...

...Directing a Kingdom Hearts CG movie: “If we were to create it, I would definitely consider it and the movie should be possible.”

...Directing a Final Fantasy for PlayStation 3 or Kingdom Hearts III: “The Kingdom Hearts development team and I already have our next project. We may be able to announce it in 2006.”

...The Nintendo Revolution controller: “I’m very interested in the Revolution controller and what’s been shown so far. If I were to create a product using it, it’d have to be different from how other developers would use it.”

Meet the Cast

When a game calls for roughly 8,000 lines of dialogue (the first KH only has 2,000), it’s time to ask for even more help from Hollywood. Here’s an exclusive look at some of the talent that’ll voice KH2’s characters (as in the original, the Disney characters are voiced by their assigned voice talents):

Sora: Haley Joel Osment

(The Sixth Sense)

Aerith: Mena Suvari

(American Beauty)

Tifa: Rachael Leigh Cook

(Antitrust)

Riku: David Gallagher

(7th Heaven)

Kairi: Hayden Panettiere

(Raising Helen)

Roxas: Jesse McCartney

(Fat Albert)

Namine: Brittany Snow

(The Pacifier)

Hades: James Woods

(Casino)

Chicken Little: Zach Braff

(Scrubs)

Cloud: Steve Burton

(General Hospital)

It's a good read overall. And I thought this blurb was interesting too:

Oh, and if you’re wondering why none of the Pixar-made Disney films are represented here, it’s because of tricky licensing issues. Hopefully, the big egos at Disney and Pixar can kiss and make up in time for KH3.
