    Singer, song writer, actor and voice over "Jesse McCartney" has revealed on his Twitter account that he is currently voicing in a new KINGDOM HEARTS project, which we know is Birth by Sleep. Jesse McCartney first took the role as Roxas in 2005/2006 as a confused guy who sensed a lot of what was going on around him. Jesse played as a kid who is known as a nobody. Apparently this nobody known as "Roxas" is a bit more special than we thought. In KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days, we learned that Roxas appears to have emotion, which nobodies aren't known for. While Nomura confirmed that Roxas and Ven are related, but aren't the same character, I think that the role as Ven that Jesse McCartney is taking will be very interesting. Will this piece everything together? So far, Roxas and Ven appear to look the same and have the same exact voice over.

    Reported by Jesse McCartney
    "Recording yet another Kingdom Hearts Game. All you Gamers eat your heart out! Man what a process tho. First recordin was in 2005 for game 1."

    In the mean time, the new KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep (TGS 2009) fandub is being put up in a matter of minutes. Once again, I took the role for Ven in the production. We are not sure who the rest of the characters are voiced by in the actual game, but for the most part we worked hard on creating a fandub that would be enjoyable to many fans.

      I hate the Jonas Brothers.
      Jesse McCartney fit perfectly as Roxas.
      I honestly can't picture another voice for him.

      agreed.

      Anyone else banking on JYB for Vanitas?

      If the voices were different in every game, I'd be kind of.. pissed. :/ Disney's power? Maybe the actors wouldn't want another person to have a role that was originally theirs. I know that's how I would feel.

      Replacing the VA's sucks and just because a VA may be associated with Disney, doesn't mean they're going to do a lame job. For example, I liked Mandy Moore's Aerith way more than Mena Suvari's.

      Jesse McCartney, imo, is an excellent Roxas and I'm glad he'll be back to play Ven.

      I fangirled when I read that tweet :lolface:

      I seriously think Jesse is amazing at Roxas. Fan of his music too, but I'm just that little bit more excited now x3

      So the same voice actor has to link them somehow.
      i think so at least.

      Terra's voiced by Setzer
      Aqua's voiced by Payne.
      I doubt they're connected.
      But I do agree though.
      Setzer and Payne aren't KH original and it's blatantly obvious Ven is in someway connected to Roxas, so giving them the same voice actor is pretty much Nomura saying, "Yeah, they look the exact same, are not the same person. Are they connected? As obvious as it is, I'm not going to tell you. Oh, and they have the same voice"

      Hmm. Well [[bit of a spoiler here]] I was watching a Japanese (english dubbed) commercial for Birth By Sleep, and
      Ven mentioned something about wanting to be "erased".
      I could be wrong, but I think Nobodies are usually the ones getting erased, especially over regular characters..

      They might not be linked in any way what-so-ever, completly different people.
      In which case, I think the character layout in the game is a little lacking. I mean, if you're going to have two completly separate characters, you could at least make their hair & eye color different. That's just a mix of lazyness and loss of creativity :/ .
