    Nimoy is awesome as Xehanort and will never be topped in my book. Although I was one of the few who didn’t hate Hauers performance as Xehanort but Lloyd is probably close as we are going to get as a successor to Nimoy but that is fine with me. What voice do you like the most?

    Nimoy will always have the most unique voice, it's downright iconic! But, my gut says Lloyd is my fave. One, his voice just naturally lends itself to the role, he sounds like an old wizard! And two, he's just a damn good actor. He was thrown into this role out of left field and he sold every line he was given! And for posterity over here, none of this praise discredits the other two. Xehanort has been given nothing but good actors for his english roles.

    Leonard Nimoy REALLY knew what he was doing when voicing Xehanort. Hauer's performance, while not awful, just didn't seem to be on par with Nimoy's. Listening to Christopher Lloyd was by far the best replacement, so good that at times I called Xehanort "Rasputin" as it was a character Lloyd voiced over 20 years ago!

    I think considering how little experience Rutger Hauer really had as an actor despite technically having a long career, and how much less experience he had voice acting, his performance is admirable. But Nimoy is definitely better. Rutger's performance is mainly made more awkward by the fact that his voice doesn't match very closely with Nimoy's at all.

    Hauer actually does make a really good Master Xehanort. The problem is that he comes in after Nimoy and has absolutely none of Nimoy's inflections or tone of voice, besides being an old man. I know I'm stating the obvious, but if Hauer voiced Master Xehanort since BBS, it wouldn't be so awkward.

I know Lloyd still can't compete with Nimoy, but he was close, atleast closer compared to Hauer ... If he ever voice acting another character that a little bit younger like 50-80ish, and a formal cunning villain, I bet he'll fit there ... But MX character is much older, and more insanely evil ...

    It is... so sad to me that Nimoy didn’t live to see the end of his saga of Kingdom Hearts. I knew him as Spock first so it gets a lot sadder having known him in so many places, and tbh he probably didn’t care as much about Kingdom Hearts as much as many of his other immaculate projects. But still, I wish he could’ve lived to see it. I hope Lloyd knows how much we appreciate him for taking up such a heavy mantle.

The role of Master Xehanort has by far been the most interesting story-wise and casting.

    I love every voice for different reasons, but I feel like Hauer’s is woefully underrated. It doesn’t really sound anything like Nimoy’s interpretation, and I understand why that can be a deal breaker for some, but to me it gave a new interesting perspective on Xehanort as a character. Hauer’s Xehanort is much more subtle and reserved. He doesn’t have the same bombastic flair, but he absolutely kills the calmer and quieter lines. His ending speech after his defeat truly feels like the emotional unravellings of a tired old man, and I’m not sure that would have come across as much with the other actor’s more exaggerated and theatrical performances.

    Nimoy: The OG and trailblazer, and a guy who made me really wish he did more video games before he unfortunately passed on. Hauer: Depicted the sadness and weight of a man lost in his own schemes, and the heaviness of his age. Lloyd: A synthesis between the two, with a more humanistic edge, even a mischievous malice that SHOULDN'T fit him, but somehow is made to fit by the actor. Great Scott!

    Lloyd is honestly my favourite. Raspy like Nimoy was, but with more of the devious tone the original japanese voice had, you can feel that Xehanort loves what he's doing, and his inflexions fit the facial expressions really well. Perfect choice, better than the previous two even if they were great actors as well.

    I had watched WAAAY too much Cyberchase when I was younger, so when I first heard Christopher Lloyd's Xehanort, all I could hear was THE Hacker. A lot of people are bringing up his role as Rasputin which DEFINITELY is a better mental image than the green man from Cyberchase. With all that being said, while Chris' Xehanort felt off to me at first, I actually can't hear any other voice actor play Xehanort now, he gives him waaay too much character for me to go back to the others. He legit feels like a Disney villain now.

    I do think Lloyd is the ideal successor to Nimoy's Xehanort. As others have said Hauer's performance is by no means bad -- but I think it doesn't follow how the character's cadence is already established. Lloyd not only soundsvlike he has more boom but also has the cunning sinisterness of Nimoy's Xehanort. Hauer's voice lines make him sound a little too calm and satisfied.

    I loved all 3 versions and would order them: 1. Nimoy 2. Lloyd 3. Hauer Nimoy's low, gravelly and menacing voice for Xehanort was so difficult to replace that I think Hauer attempted to go more subtely menacing rather than try a direct impersonation. With Lloyd he really leant into the evil side with gusto.

    The reason Rutger sounds so different from Nimoy and Lloyd is he doesn`t smoke, doesn`t play up the rasp as much but it`s still there if you listen closely and is clearly trying to suppress his thick Dutch accent to an extent to sound more like his predecessor and successor.

    There was no way they were going to replace Leonard Nimoy in a way that felt right. However, I actually think Rutger Howard wasn't a bad actor for Xehanort when considered on his own and not as a replacement for Leonard Nimoy. He brings this subdued and sinister tone that I think works well for the character. I think if he had lived long enough to continue playing the character then we might've grown into the role a bit more and made something special. Christopher Lloyd isn't bad either, he definitely brings more energy to the role than Hauer did. However, the two performances between these two are so different and it honestly feels like they were both given very different direction on how to play the characters.

    It’s hard for me to hate on Hauer’s performance considering the characters arc in the game. While before he was just straight up depicted as an old despotic madman in this one because of his story he feels like a man who believes with everything inside what he is doing is the greater good. It’s sort of the logic of Thanos in infinity war, that left to its own the light and dark will clash till there is nothing left, that only by starting over can a better universe be created. He is more of a tragic villain, he has strayed so far doing what he feels must be done that by the end anything is justified. So Hauer’s softer tone I can see being somewhat justified. The issue is it came after Nimoy who just rocked that role. Though to be fair it was just Galvatron. (Ducks incase of thrown objects)

    Ok, so question, the cutscene with Sora, Mickey and everyone with Xehanort going on about the nine keys and wanting to summon Kingdom Hearts. Are those two separate? With one version with Hauer's voice in base game and the other with Lloyd's voice in one of the RE:Mind chapters. Or were Hauer's performances dubbed over by Lloyd and used in a patched version of KH 3. To give some consistency? (btw I haven't played RE:Mind yet, that's why I'm asking)

    When Re:Mind came out, the cutscene where Xehanort unlocks Kingdom Hearts in the base game has been patched to include the new sky backdrop. Hauer's voice was kept in tact in the base game. Throughout Re:Mind and later KH titles like Melody of Memory, Master Xehanort has been dubbed by Christopher Lloyd.

    I think Leonard Nimoy was simply ok in BBS, just average. In DDD, he really started to give Xehanort that extra bit of UMPH that Billy Zane/Richard Ipcar gave to “Ansem” and Paul St Peter gave to Xemnas. It’s sad Nimoy is gone. Rutger Hauer was not very good, to me. Christopher Lloyd is the best replacement.
