Kingdom Hearts II ENGLISH Cast revealed by EGM

[Cain Highwind]

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.

DUDE! Zach Braff is voicing Chicken Little? That's freaking AWESOME.

Interesting choices, I'd have to agree with you on that. I'm not fond of the idea of Jesse McCartney doing any voiceover of any kind, but I guess my sister will be pleased.

[Tifa]

Man, I don't know any of these. I thought Mandy Moore did a decent job with Aeris though. I really, REALLY hope they change the voice for:

Spoiler: Sephiroth. I know he and Cloud have a lot of interactions @__@;

I hope Rachael Leigh Cook does well for Tifa ... I LOVE Tifa's JP voice.

Pretty gay cast, KH sucks, IMO.

Whoever made it is a cracker.

[Cain Highwind]

You know if you're going to come here with your BS opinions, you could at least put more thought into your posts, or else you'll look like an idiot.

I doubt you've even played the first game.

I'm not really into explaining myself, my opinions are straight to the point. If I look like an idiot, w/e. It's the internet.

I bet you I have played KH. All the way through and I hated every last moment of it.

[Cain Highwind]

Well sorry that's what we're all about here, if you don't like it, then pack up and get out of here.

Okay, I'll explain why I hated KH. Daffy Duck. What else is there to explain?

I'm pretty sure that's his name.

That would be Donald Duck.

And having one reason to dislike an entire game is pretty stupid.

Mmmmk.

[Cain Highwind]

This is your second warning for spam, keep it up man, and you're gone.

EDIT: On topic, I wonder if Racheal Leigh Cook and Mira Sorvino will be used in Advent Children as well?

[KingSephiroth]

T.T I'm sorry to see this cast.
Cloud and Sephiroth's voices better stay the same. (You may hate Lance Bass, but he did a good job.)
Also, I WANT MANDY MOORE BACK!!!1!1!eleven
She was a great, nay, perfect Aeris! (Should do AC english too )

[TomStrife]

I can agree that Mandy Moore did a good job which is hard to admit.
Yuffie and Seph on the other hand. XP

Can`t wait for this title.

(Why Jesse McCartney? Why?)

I don't really understand everyone's problems with Lance Bass doing Sephiroth. Most people didn't even realise it until they were told, or they read the credits. *raises hand in admittance of that* I thought he did a fine job, (but then again there wasn't much for him to do really.)
