Uh, that's technically true, but in case you didn't hear Mark Gatha has actually passed away.
I completely agree about X being silent. It just wouldn't make any sense in any way, especially if he's going to be one of the main characters of the story. I hope they get a good voice for him.
As far as I know, this actually is not true -- it was a very unfortunate joke started on Twitter by Zero's English VA Lucas Gilbertson, who has since cleared the matter up many times and apologized repeatedly for the bad-taste misinformation. But if you already know all this and news has come out that Gatha has actually
actually passed away... damn, that's terrible.

But AFAIK, the only part of everything Gatha-related that's definitely true is that he left voice acting to begin a career as a doctor outside of the US somewhere. I think he's alive and well, at least!
But yeah, glad we're in agreement! I just can't see how it could make any sort of sense for X to be silent, and by god they better get an appropriately badass voice for him and not revert back to X4 levels of "Mega Man and X are the same guy, right?" failure for X's MvCI voice. It was funny in X4 during the dark days of PS1 localization... wouldn't be funny at all in MvCI.
