Kingdom Hearts II: Getting Closer!

Whoo! Straight from Square-Enix themselves! It’s coming March 28th, and dig this press release!

“The all-star ensemble voice cast is led by Haley Joel Osment (‘The Sixth Sense,’ ‘A.I. Artificial Intelligence’) as the main character Sora and is joined by David Gallagher (’7th Heaven’) as Riku, and Hayden Panettiere (‘Racing Stripes,’ ‘Raising Helen’) as Kairi. Kingdom Hearts II will also feature the voice talents of Jesse McCartney (‘Summerland,’ Recording artist, ‘Beautiful Soul’ CD) as the mysterious boy Roxas, Brittany Snow (‘The Pacifier,’ ‘American Dreams’) as Namine, Christopher Lee (‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,’ ‘Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’) as Diz; Steve Burton (‘The Last Castle,’ ‘Taken’) as Cloud, Rachael Leigh Cook (‘She’s All That,’ ‘Josie And The Pussycats’) as Tifa and Mena Suvari (‘American Beauty,’ ‘Rumor Has It’) as Aerith, all characters from Final Fantasy VII; and Hedy Buress (‘Boston Common,’ ‘If These Walls Could Talk’), Tara Strong (‘Fairly OddParents: Shadow Showdown,’ ‘Teen Titans’), Gwendoline Yeo (‘Desperate Housewives,’ ’24′) as the popular female-trio Yuna, Rikku, Paine from Final Fantasy X-2. In addition, many of the original Disney film star voice actors are reprising their role for this project, including Ming-Na (‘ER,’ ‘Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within’) as Mulan, James Woods (‘Be Cool’), returning as the villain Hades and Zach Braff (‘Scrubs’) as Chicken Little.”

Kingdom Hearts II features more than 100 Disney characters — including newcomers Chicken Little and Stitch — along with original characters designed by Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura. Along with classic locations, the new title takes players into the worlds of Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Mulan, Pirates of the Caribbean, Steamboat Willie and — yes — Tron.

I have just two words:

GO, AURON!
