Yuffie (ユフィ・キサラギ, Yufi Kisaragi?) from Final Fantasy VII (ファイナルファンタジーVII, Fainaru Fantajī Sebun?) was used instead of Rikku, as she was involved in FFX-2 at the time. But traces of Rikku's intended attire remain on Yuffie during Kingdom Hearts and Chain of Memories. By Kingdom Hearts 2, Yuffie wore the clothing she had on FF7: Advent Children.
In the Japanese version, Yuffie was voiced by popular seiyuu Yumi Kakazu, whose other involvements with SquareEnix besides voicing Yuffie in the FF7 series was to voice Ritz of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance radio-drama and Lyra(Dante) in Fullmetal Alchemist. In the English version of Kingdom Hearts, Yuffie was voiced by Christy Romano, who voiced Yuffie in Advent Children starred in Disney shows like Even Steven and was the title character of Kim Possible. In the English version of Kingdom Hearts 2, however, Yuffie was voiced by Mae Whitman while she voiced her in Dirge of Cerberus. whose last involvement with Haley Joel Osment was as Shanti and was the voice of Rose on American Dragon: Jake Long.
Aerith Gainsborough (エアリス・ゲインズブール, Earisu Geinzubūru?) is also from FFVII. Aerith is voiced by Mandy Moore in Kingdom Hearts, Mena Suvari in Kingdom Hearts II (*cringe*), and Maaya Sakamoto in the Japanese versions of both games. She's killed by Sephiroth in the original game. Shame the same can't happen in this one.
Cid Highwind (シド・ハイウィンド, Shido Haiwindo?), part of a long tradition of Final Fantasy Cids, is thirty-two years old and the most uncouth of the protagonists, constantly swearing, losing his temper and chain-smoking cigarettes (to be replaced by constantly chewing a toothpick. He is voiced by Chris Edgerly and Kazuhiro Yamaji.
Squall Leonhart (スコール・レオンハート, Sukōru Reonhāto?) is from Final Fantasy VIII (ファイナルファンタジーVIII, Fainaru Fantajī Eito?). In that game, he's a quiet type (which isn't the same as saying that he's a emo), and he fancies Rinoa Heartilly (リノア・ハーティリー, Rinoa Hātirī?) (although i think he should have gone with Quistis Trepe (キスティス・トゥリープ, Kisutisu Turīpu?). At least he would have got more action.
Finally(!), there's Merlin, who (in this form) appreared in 'The Sword in the Stone' (1963), the Disney animated adaptation of T.H. White's book, featuring an old and funny Merlin (voiced by Karl Swenson) helping a young lad named Wart to become King Arthur.
