Hey guys, TGA here with some surprising news. According to the website WithTheWill, Re:Chain of Memories has been confirmed for a release in North America. Square Enix is apparently hiring voice actors for the five Organization members of Chain of Memories:

I've confirmed this with MULTIPLE people.

I don't know if it's the full Final Mix+, or just Re:COM...

But we are getting Re:Chains Of Memories in the USA.

I've even been told the character artwork they are showing is the generic 'CGI Pose' of the Organization members that are up at damn near EVERY Kingdom Hearts fansite.

Square (or Disney, not sure), have been auditioning TONS of people for the last few weeks for voices of Organization XIII members (Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Marluxia, and Larxene) saying the game is 'Chains of Memories'.

The casting people/paperwork are/is specifically calling it 'Kingdom Hearts Chains of Memories' and are SPECIFICALLY casting the 5 Organization members that I named in the article, all of whom were in CoM and don't have cast English voice actors (outside of those 5 I don't know if anyone else is being cast in any fashion, although I THINK those were the only 5 characters who are in CoM who don't already have English actors from KH/KH2).

So while it is possible they are being cast for 358/2 Days, the 'name' being told to people in the auditions is specifically CoM, I've reconfirmed that specific fact with quite a few people who auditioned and it has been consistent between them all.

Two Neogaf Members, Aeana and Duckroll, both being respected as inside informants, have confirmed this and claim it to be true. We are currently not sure if this includes Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix though.

However, here at KHU, we strongly recommend that you take this news with a grain of salt, regardless of the fact that KHInsider, the original reporter of this news, currently believes it. Hope for the best as we keep you posted.

That's all for now...

MY PARENTS HAD TO COME INTO MY ROOM TO CHECK TO SEE IF I WAS OKAY BECAUSE THIS HONESTLY DISRUPTED MY BREATHING.

It'd better be budget-priced considering it was an add-on. But yeah, I'd play it. The combat would definitely be more sane than in KH2, that's for sure.

I'm only forgiving them if they give us KH2FM.

"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."

CAPCOM: We put the "No" in Innovation.

OKAY THIS POST IS A RUMOR AND SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH QUITE A FEW GRAINS OF SALT.

So KHInsider, the original poster of this info (KH-site was, at least) is 100% confident in this. The admin and site creator states that he will shut down the site and claim his news unreliable if, for fact, Re: CoM and FINAL MIX+ are not released stateside.

He could just be hyped, but the fact that he's willing to end one of the largest KH fansites out there right now based on this news says SOMETHING.

If Teej is anything to go by, Kingdom Hearts doesn't NEED any more hype. Its already got enough clout in its name for people to see the case and hear the words "Buy Me" in the back of their heads.

It should also be noted that Re:COM has the potential to be ready for voice acting. They could have started this who knows when.

358/2 days isn't even out in Japan yet...I doubt the localization team has event seen has even seen a early build of the game yet, so the need for voice acting would be low at this point.

Just something I thought of earlier today.

Huh. That's pretty sweet.

Not sure if it's the best news I've ever heard though. I never particularly cared for fighting with the cards... ^_^;

I honestly loved it. It removed the button mashing elements and instead actually made battles a bit more strategic.

"Okay, he's gonna be using his major attack soon. Do I go to my cure card set or try and attack to block it?"

"He's going to be using a set of 3 cards. I can either block it and paralyze him with a 0 card, or bring up a set of my own and hope it outnumbers his."

It was an interesting idea... but honestly, it just wasn't fun for me. And it never really felt that strategic...

"Ok, I just blocked his attack. He's vulnerable. Time to attack."

"Oh, I seem to have decided to not swing for no discernable reason. Window lost. Oh hey, I have nothing to block thi..."

STORY

Sora, Donald and Goofy travel down a long road that meanders through endless fields, and come to a crossroads. As Sora stands in the crossroads, he gazes up at the night sky and thinks of his lost friends.

Just then, a mysterious man approaches from down one of the branching paths. "Ahead lies something you need," he says, "but to claim it, you must lose something dear." The man vanishes before a single path, leading to a castle that eerily resembles a girl's drawing...

In the coming journey, what will Sora and his companions gain, and what will they lose?

FEATURES

World-renowned creator and character designer Tetsuya Nomura and his team once again unite the magical world of Disney with the characters of FINAL FANTASY�, inviting fans to an enchanting gaming experience

I went to an audition in CA, but sadly I can't say anything past that because they drilled the serious biznezz legality into my head way too many times to the point where I check my window constantly for Squeenix Agents. ;_;

Hm? The Square Enix press release confirmed Osment to be returning as the voide for Sora...unless that was just a major typo on your part.

I think his deeper voice may work in thie scenario, since they made a new model for "young" Sora to look closer to KH2's version. Or they could just tamper with his voice a bit to make him sound younger.
