Demyx. 10,064 Posted January 16, 2015 That sucks. Well, at least it wasn't Leonard Nimoy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fenrissychros 167 Posted January 16, 2015 This got me thinking...due to how japanese videogames treat voice actors, i doubt they will replace him, so maybe now MX wont appear at all in Kh3. Xehanort will get represented by another one of his being, like maybe a younger one, or Terranort. I heard some time ago that Nimoy didn't want to reprise the character more, and he recorded the few lines of 3D as a favor, so maybe now that they have lost both the English and the Japanese actor, they will think about removing the character in Kh3 altogether, substituting him for another form fo Xehanort Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KH3 is supposed to be the last in the Xehanort Saga after all. But man, not only was he the Japanese voice for Xehanort. He was also the Japanese voice for Dr. Eggman. R.I.P Eggface, you were a worthy foe for me and Sonic.

They haven't changed many characters who had developed a well established VA. There is no point on using him now that they don't have either the japanese or english VA. Also remember, that he was the father of the VA who has been playing Ansem SoD/Terranort, so a lot of his purpouse has been lost, at least in my opinion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not disrespecting him, I admired and loved his work as MX a lot, but don't act like if you knew him as a friend or anything. He was the VA of a beloved character, nothing more. In any case, we should remember the good work he has done over this past 6 years, and think at how the future of the saga will unfold without him 1 Oli reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorarocks93 678 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Oh man I just saw that on MGinformer. His son voices Solid Snake and Big Boss in the Metal Gear series. He joined him once in MGS4 to voice BB while his son was voicing SS. This must suck really bad for him right now.

Buttercup Camera 229 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) What? No! I once played Birth By Sleep in japanese and I loved his voice. So dark, mysterious and fitting. I even prefered his voice over the english one. Damn, this is so sad... Will this affect Kingdom Hearts? I kind of found his voice... unique. We've lost some actors so far, yeah... That's so sad. I'll always miss the voice of Mickey(2002 - 2009). Edited January 16, 2015 by Marcomax Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He played old Big Boss while Akio Otsuka played Solid Snake, which makes sense given that Snake is Big Boss' cloned 'son'.
