Billy Zane

[.:{S u t e k i~M i d o r i}:.]

Billy Zane was a good VA for Ansem. Hope he'll do it for RE:CoM. And they should've put his voicing in the flashbacks, but i get why they didn't.

[tetraalmasy]

I doubt they'll do english VA for Re:Com even if they send it this way. think tetsura (tetsuya and nomura squished together) wants us to experience japanese VAs like how over there the experience eng. VAs

Well i like billys voice more 2.its darker and deeper its just ansem (heartless xehanort)

btw ^ i don t think they will do that , americans (and others)are known to be less open to those experiences(means lower sales), though it is possible they will.

Billy Zanes voice is so cool for Xehanort's Heartless and I like Xemnas voice too...:D...

[Ranma]

I would not mind if he had a few lines in a flashback or something but as a main role... no way.

As Phil would say
Two words,yes!

Billy Zane>Xemnas, he sound more evil. I love the way he said "submit!" when you fight him in KH. It sounds so deep and dark. XD

YES!!! THANK YOU, SOMEBODY UNDERSTANDS!!!!

I started to think it was just me, but now that I see this topic I'm happy. Billy Zane was the better Ansem (Xehanort's Heartless). There is no doubt about it. This new guy was good with Xemnas, but Billy Zane should have kept his role.

Yes, that was the best! Billy Zane had that voice down, man.

[Yuyin]

Yea I think Billy Zane should be Xehonart's Heartless. David should be Squall again. I hated the new guy. Honestly I liked Christy Carlson Romano as Yuffie.

But seeming that Hayley didn't play Roxas too I think Billy should just play the Heartless version.

[Donnie Yen]

Billy Zane was my fav voice actor of KH and he's still better than any voice actors of the whole series. He just brought such emotion and character to "Ansem."

And yup, like Yuyin said, David should come back to do Squall as well.

Dude, like we knew that before the game got released.

Billy Zane was awesome as the more evil Ansem. As Riku/Ansem I think Richard Epcar did ok because he wasn't really supposed to sound evil anyways. And the guy who voiced Xemnas was really good at showing the nothingness in the character: emotionless (which is usually bad, but good in this case)
Heres my thoughts:

Mandy Moore>>>>Mena Suvari (horrible excuse for acting)
Christy Carlson Romano>>>>>>>>>Mae Whitman (meh....CCR was just better)
No Voice>>>>>Chris Edgerly (Cids not a redneck, hes gruff)
David Boreanz>>>>>>>Doug Erholtz (sounded the same to me, but people like Dave better)

I hope (if we get FM) that Billy Zane comes back for all the Heartless parts, but maybe keep Epcar for the Riku versions.

[Omni_VII]

Definitely. Richard Epcar (I think it was) is a piece of absolute anus on a stick which should be burnt until nothing remains.

Terrible... Just... uh... Billy Zane was the ownage. One of the main reasons I enjoyed KH1.

Yeah, I'd say Mena Suvari was trying too hard, that's why it sucked. But her normal voice is sweet. If she hadnt tried to change her voice, it would have worked out.
I hadnt noticed much difference with Yuffie. Maybe CCR's voice was a little sharper.
David was way better than Doug. He's voice rocked. In KH2, Leon sounded too young.

I'd like Billy Zane to replay Xehanort's heartless, as well as Xehanort. But Xemnas can keep his voice actor. It may take 5 minutes for him to finish a sentence but it's not the VA's fault, it's the script.
