Most of the voice actors who played those Final Fantasy VII characters who appeared in Kingdom Hearts will reprise their roles, with two exceptions. Aerith Gainsborough was played by Mandy Moore in Kingdom Hearts but she has been replaced with Mena Suvari in both Kingdom Hearts II and Advent Children. Also, it is pleasant to note, that Lance Bass, who played Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts, will not be playing him again in this feature for he has been replaced with George Newbern.
