travis willingham as ursus sounding mighty MIGHTY
I think someone said Travis ( Roy Mustang) is the one of the Taller Fartellers.
Me when he tweeted:
Me when he deleted:
Yes Travis Willingham is Ursus/Aced. That is like the one thing that is 100%.

Roy Mustang confirmed for KH3 lol

Oh my god. Hadn't drawn that connection yet. LOL.

Speaking of Fullmetal Alchemist, Foreteller Gula sounds a lot like Todd Haberkorn (Ling).
So my bad guesses:
Matthew Mercer - Unicornis
Unicornis sounds like Nolan North but somehow I'm not expecting it to be him. Matthew Mercer always tends to be my safe bet.
Tara Platt - Anguis
Just a feeling.
Cassandra Morris - Vulpes
Sounds like Edea Lee.
Travis Willingham - Ursus
Works on a lot of Disney shows already. I think he is one of their go-to preproduction voice actors when they work on animated films before hiring movie actors, too, like Kari Walghren. If not, it is Patrick Seitz.

It kind of does...But I'm not sure. I feel like I've heard that voice before and it wasn't Todd.
Edit: Maybe you are right! I just remembered what it was when I thought it wasn't Todd but it actually was. Drakengard 3 xD
Cassandra Morris - Vulpes
Sounds like Edea Lee
Re listening and maybe I don't know many Tara platt roles outside Vert and Temari but can't tell if it's her as Anguis
My weird curveball guess for Hooded Figure is...Robbie Daymond!
to me it sounds like her leafa voice from sword art online
Don't really like that show so I wouldn't know

She's also Keubey as well and was in Toradora.

Robbie is not Cassandra Lee.
Robbie is not Cassandra Lee.
I was replying to her telling her she is other roles she might know her in. I know who Robbie is.
YAY!
Also, for the record, if you're pronouncing Ephemera based on how you heard it in a youtube video, you're probably pronouncing it wrong.

Ooh, you meant the sentence about SAO. nvm then, sorry.

Er, so how do you pronounce it?

The same way you pronounce ephemeral (without the al part)

Isn't it Ee-feh-meh-rah?
Edit: Ninja'd
Yeah I've been watching reaction vids to the trailer and every single one says Ephemera wrong.
Welp, I've been saying it wrong this whole time too. Whoops.

Were you putting the emPHAsis on the wrong syLLAble?
So Cassandra Morris said it isn't her. I thought it was a dead ringer but oh well.

I just wanna know who voices hooded guy, he sounds so familiar
gotta keep an eye out for ephemer
Fun Fact:
In 2013, the main star of Teen Wolf Tyler Posey was at a charity event where Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX was available to play
A month prior to that event was the first episode of Season 3 of Teen Wolf where Scott McCall got his word of the day (something that, like a lot on this show, never came back):
And now Michael Johnstone, who plays Corey on Teen Wolf, is playing Ephemera in Back cover:
So it looks like Matthew Mercer is probably Ira.
Can't actually confirm it since he hasn't responded to anybody directly, which leads to plausible deniability.

Nicki Minaj should voice Skuld.
Skuld's theme should be a piano version of "Anaconda"

I need Sofia Carson to voice Skuld thank you very much.

Everything about the whole "Teen Wolf" thing of Michael Johnstone doing Ephemera is new to me. Ironically 2-3 days back I was googling Teen Wolf out of boredom. 0_0

Honestly that would be a great gesture to Utada. The problem with that idea is that Disney only really hires SAG-AFTRA actors. If they aren't unionized, they don't bother. In the case of finding talent, they usually require them to unionize.
To counter your Corey Burton idea, why not James Earl Jones?
EDIT: NINJA'D GOD DAMN IT

I'm sorry but all I'm hearing is Gou--I mean Kou screaming over muscles and Aerith readying her yandere guns.
But no really, I do like Kira Buckland. She is really good in the shows and video games I've heard.

Some people say Troy Baker is voicing in BC. Is that true?

If they are saying it is Ira/Unicornis, they are wrong.

Matthew Mercer liked multiple KH related tweets about Ira yesterday.
If they are saying he is somebody else, I can't fathom who. It couldn't be Gula and not the Hooded Figure and definitely not Aced since that is Travis Willingham (and if not him, Patrick Seitz).

I think we all know who should play Skuld

This is somewhat off topic, but you guys talking about Skuld made me think about something:
How do you think they'll show her meeting Ava in Back Cover? They can hardly show the scene as it was in Chi, with us the Player being there and all (unless they just show the last part of the cutscene, and focus the camera on her so you can't see what the other person looks like?).
Or will they not show the scene at all? Maybe just have Ava speak to Skuld when she goes to become one of her dandelions, and have her say something along the lines of, "Oh, I remember you. You were there when Ephemera's friend, who doesn't say much, showed me strength of heart."

The Player is pretty important to events, so the hope is that they will give the player a canon look in the vein of how FFXIV has the Adventurer. They could do the whole "Player is just a shadowy outline" thing, but it gets frustrating to maintain that.

If Skuld has a role to play later on in KH3, that scene would be pretty important to have.

Wait, I thought that it was Square Enix that decide on the voice actors for all the character original to the Kingdom Hearts series?

SE can decide, but Disney needs to approve. As with anything related to Kingdom Hearts.

If it wasn't already obvious Square Enix utilizes Disney's resources for talent searching. How do you think this series has had so many film/tv actors?

That's what I'm hoping for. It's probably stupid on my part, but I've really come to like the Player. Especially since they've (... err, we've?) started talking.
The fact that we're talking at all now has to possibly mean something big, imo, so I really hope that they don't end up ignoring the issue entirely.
I mean, we're supposed to be Ephemera's friend who doesn't talk much. LOL.
But if we are to be in BC, does that mean Player will have to end up getting a VA, too? Just for the speech he/she makes in that scene, if for nothing else? I sure wouldn't complain, if that's the case!
-has grown way too attached to the chi trio, even though i shouldn't trust anyone in this game, and i want to see all three of them in bc and maybe even iii. or at least just ephemera and skuld if that's all se can manage to pull off-
troy baker should voice the player's avatar just because he's basically the player avatar guy
that or use his joel voice for chirithy

Well... seeing as how Troy Baker voices everyone known to man, it'd only be fitting that he voice the character that embodies the entire world playing's various traits. LOL.
I'm actually hoping for Player to be a girl, though!
Not that I'd be opposed to Troy Baker doing a female voice for them if that were the case;) LOL.
baker fatigue is real

Is it possible that we'll have a Baker's dozen of characters voiced by him?
baker fatigue is real
im going to count the games i own and get back to you on the number troy mihoy minoy is in
baker fatigue is real
I personally don't mind, because he's so talented and varied, that sometimes it's even difficult to tell it is him. Regardless, he is in basically everything, but that's probably because he seems easy to work with and is so talented. I totally wouldn't mind seeing him in KH though.
im going to count the games i own and get back to you on the number troy mihoy minoy is in
I have at least 21 games where Troy voices a role. As much as I love him, sheesh, that's a lot.
so i counted 12. that's just on ps4. lol
Nolan North (honestly I never tire of him even when he was the go-to voice)
Yuri Lowenthal
Johnny Yong Bosch
Troy Baker
Those are the four voices of video games that you hear all of the time.

i haven't heard JYB or yuri "hands" lowenthal in years lol

But he's handsome.
Yuri Lowenthal
Totally read that as "Yuri Lowell" at first, and I thought you were listing the characters that Troy Baker has voiced. LOL.
I really do love me some Tales of Vesperia... Err, I love the characters in Vesperia, anyway. There were just a few too many plot threads going on in that game for me to completely love the story (even though some of them were so good and interesting), but I should just shut up because all around it's still a fantastic video game/experience and The First Strike movie is also to die for, imo.
Anyway...
But he's handsome.
taochan really :rolleyes: i will acept him in kh if doesnt voice a charachter that has scarf
I'm so over Baker. I was sick of I'm after like hearing him in 3 games. Unlike other VA's he doesn't change his voice and it just breaks the illusion.

Were games he was, again, terrible in.

Well he did do a decent Mark Hamill Joker impression....somewhat.
Were games he was, again, terrible in.
He used to change his voice until he realized his voice could be marketed on all on its own. It works since his voice is handsome. So is his face.
You heard me, and you know my stance on him.
A lot of games have used him and it's just annoying now. I don't hear the character speak, I hear Troy Baker and the dozens of other characters speaking. It's weird to listen to Sam in Uncharted and be constantly thinking of Kanji, the driver in The Crew, and Snow from Final Fantasy XIII the whole time.
It's like when an actor is in a lot of things and they play the same type of character over and over again. Soon you'll just be thinking of all the other characters they've played rather than the one they're trying to portray this time.

i'm sorry
but that opinion of yours? all wrong

i think he's overused, and really doesn't mask his voice much. i wholeheartedly agree with that. but telling me that two of his best performances are terrible? his accent and emotion for joel were spot on and genuine. and not many people can do a mark hamill joker impression either.

I just don't care for The Last of Us as a whole. I think it's severely overrated and I honestly felt no emotional connection to it, neither at the start of the game or the end. [strike]and I was trolling with Origins, I never played it[/strike]

TLoU was overrated. semi-soid gameplay and decent story, but the real meat is within the acting and character writing.
i actually liked troy baker in bioshock infinite, he seemed like he tried "screaming ELIZABETH lots mainly", but its been a couple years since i played that.

I agree in all instances except The Last of Us, Arkham Origins and Far Cry 4. Those are the games where I think he showed range and in the case of the last two, really good range (even though I don't care about Far Cry games).
If he were to ever be in KH, I would hope it would be in that capacity. Not in the Persona/Catherine/Uncharted/Infamous/Bioshock/everything else capacity.
Though I still am bias at least a little because I enjoy the sound of his voice even if it's everywhere.

You know he won't, and that's what will annoy me. Keep Troy Baker out of KH 2k16
^........... Yeah staying out of this, no VA can IR can't be in the series because no one wants them, same as no one has control of who can be in the series whether FF, SE titles, or Disney.
Back on the actual topic, any other characters that might have a voice, have all the Fartellers and Skuld been speculated?
