Kingdom Hearts 2.8 listed as part of SAG-AFTRA strike

[Ballad of Caius]

I've read SAG-AFTRA demands, and they're reasonable. There are articles giving examples of voice-actors being overworked in the sense that VA Directors are over-demanding the use of their vocal chords too much. Other than that, I don't think II.8 will be affected, seeing as how recording should be done by now. Games that should be affected are FINAL FANTASY VII Remake and KINGDOM HEARTS III, but I think KHIII will only be affected for any new cutscenes in promotional work, but that can be fixed with, sadly, a rehash of already utilized assets in past promotions.

Overall, I hope their demands are met, and if not, then the outcome from this strike should assure better work conditions and pay.

Final fantasy 7 reamke wont be afrected since square isnt one of the company kh3 is most likely but the strike wont affect it much since we dont know far development they are in and the strike might be over then

This Could effect both Kingdom Hearts 2.8 and even 3, so what can we, as Kingdom Hearts fans, do to help the strike come to a quick resolution???

Tweet out to the companies on the strike list that you stand behind the voice actors who help give life to the experiences we all enjoy.

Why would this affect the development of KH? Afaik, it's an English Group, so the Japanese Seiyuus aren't striking, soo this would only affect the localization

Lip syncing is done by the development team. That would definitely hinder the game's development.

Audio also has to be coded in by the dev team.

I'm all for unions trying to protect their workers. Hopefully both sides create a fair resolution to both sides.

Well, I hope nothing will happen (because of lip syncing and all that stuff)

Stupid question: that only applies to future callings for VA, right?
If a SAG VA already recorded for a game which hasn't come out yet, he/she can't just "block" his/her voice clips, right?

Yeah, only future call backs. Like if they needed pick ups for a game, they will refuse.

This is great. Voice actors have worked too hard and their industry has evolved so much, that to abide by terms settled on two decades ago is unreasonable. I definitely support the #performancematters movement.

 

[Sephiroth0812]

Personally I don't think this will affect much in regards to 2.8 at least.
DDD should already have all neccessary voice clips and audio for Disney-related characters and I doubt that 0.2 which centers on Aqua and her memories as well as chiefly the overaching KH story will include many Disney characters (except Mickey and Yen Sid perhaps) while X Back Cover probably doesn't need any Disney voices at all.


On the strike issue itself, I'd say it is about time they negotiate something new, considering what was en vogue and reasonable in 1994 certainly doesn't cut it anymore today.
So full support behind that.

I believe the non Disney stuff is recorded at Skylark studios.

For anyone confused about the copyright's regarding the Kingdom Hearts characters, it's introduced before the start screen appears. All characters original to Kingdom Hearts are Disney characters. They're just developed and constructed by Square Enix. In regards to the voice acting side of the department, the character voices original to Kingdom Hearts will be treated as Disney voices.
