Where's Hayden Panettiere?

[Liamane]

So, last night, BB was checking out the voice actors in the Chain of Memories booklet inside of the case (Haley Joel Osment's back! ), and among the names he read, it became apparent that Hayden Panettiere, the voice of Kairi, has been replaced by Alyson Stoner from Disney Channel. Cripes.

Whether or not she's going to entirely replace Panettiere in the series is unknown, but I think Stoner's just being used to captivate a younger voice for Kairi for this game only. After all, Hayden's already got the voice of a young woman. I guess that makes sense then. Meh, who knows?

D: What?! I love Hayden? Who the heck is this Stoner lady? HOW DARE SHE!

[Liamane]

Apparently, some child star from both Disney Channel and Nick. Hell, maybe because Kairi's got such a tiny role in this game, they were like, "Heck, let's throw her in the mix!" Pleeeeeease, let Hayden back into the series!

[Beebs]

I don't recall Kairi at all having any kind of speaking role in CoM anyway.

[Liamane]

I think they squeezed a couple into the Japanese RE:COM; y'know, just to have her say something.

eww

Not trying to be mean or anything, but she is NOT that good looking AT ALL

If they make her a permanent voice for Kairi I'm going to go and kick the translation team whoever they are

Though I doubt they'll do that.

[Liamane]

Definitely. I think she's simply makeshift because of Kairi's really small role in RE:COM. I mean, hey, it's a Disney Channel star that plays a small part for a few quickie dollars. She's got nothing to lose, really.
