Well, previously I had mentioned a rumour about Naminé being recasted for her appearance in Re:CoM, and, I can now assure you that it is official. According to her official site, Meaghan Jette Martin will now be doing the voice of Naminé. The Disney Channel Star (who most recently appeared in the Disney Channel Original Movie 'Camp Rock' as 'Tess') will be taking over the role of Naminé, replacing Brittany Snow as the previous actress for the character. No reason has been given as to why she was recasted, but fans know that this isn't the first time they have seen a beloved character being voiced by a different actor ("Ansem"/Xehanort was previously voiced by Billy Zane and is now voiced by Richard Epcar).

It's also unknown if this recast is purely for Re:CoM, or if it will also be for future games (such as 358/2 Days).

UPDATE: More rumours are being squashed, thanks to forum member .:Raz:.who got in contact via email with Tara Platt who was rumoured to be playing Larxene. When asked if the rumours about being cast in Re:CoM were true, she had this to say:

Sorry I am not in Kingdom Hearts. But it is a great game series!
Best, Tara

With the chances of her voicing Larxene now squashed, just who do you predict will voice the feisty blonde? We'll keep you update as the news comes in.
