TheKingdomkid 1,194 Posted January 16, 2015 I heard about this earlier today and it's pretty sad to hear about this. Also to everyone who is concerned about what affects this will have on Kingdom Hearts 3 and possibly future Kingdom Hearts games, they are not going to just write out Master Xehanort. Because that would be smart, write out the guy who has been the main problem through the whole series and as a matter of fact this first saga is called the Xehanort Saga, they will not write out Xehanort because his voice actor died, yes I know Japan is big on the VAs for characters, like what they did with Igor in the Persona 3 movies they took the lines from the game since his voice actor died but I highly doubt that they are going to replace him in Persona 5. As they say the show must go on, and to be honest that's not the big issue here, the big issue is that someone has passed away and it is sad, true probably not many of us know much about what he did before now and before he voiced Master Xehanort but it's still sad, he was a great Japaneses VA and he will be missed. 2 HumbleGamer and Tails reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryusuke 16 Posted January 17, 2015 This one hits hard. He was one of the voices that was all over my childhood, specifically Dr. Eggman. I loved his performances in Dragon Ball, Lupin III, One Piece and various others. He will be sorely missed. Condolences to Akio Otsuka and his family.

Rinax 473 Posted January 17, 2015 Dammit, not another one. First it was Vexen (Nachi Nozawa), and now... I'm going to go and cry in a corner now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PrinceNoctis 1,011 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I know it doesn't change much for those of us who play the game in English, but he is still a big part of the KH family. RIP Edited January 17, 2015 by PrinceNoctis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
