Vanitas was a really good role for him. He played evil very well and was a great opposite of Sora. However, KH2 is like the main voice for Sora, which is good for Sora, but I still think Vanitas was a great role for Haley.

COM and KH2. By these games, HJO was a lot more experienced in voice acting compared to when he was a twerp in '02. Plus, he was given a lot more interesting material to work with.

I've lost track of how many times I've trashed Sora in 3DDD on here, but seriously, it wa alike Haley wasn't even trying, it was so half assed.... Maybe it was the crappy/boring dialogue, but it was eh.

It took a while for me to adapt to Haley's voice change, then I realized how annoying his voice was in in the first game, so yeeeaaahh, with some thought, I think I liked his work as Vanitas tbh, not so cringe-y if you ask me.

KH1 was my first choice, but then I saw Vanitas and I must say that that one is the best in my opinion.

Vanitas has the best laugh in KH. I want to hear it again in KH3.

KH2 Sora and Vanitas. Plus Haley totally owns Vanitas evil laugh, much better than the Jap version.

I loved it when Haley voiced Vanitas. It was a really great! 

 

 

 

That's a lot of Vanitas. However, do you think that Vanitas's voice wouldn't be so great if it wasn't for Sora? Like the reason Vanitas's voice is awesome is due to Haley sounding the complete opposite of Sora. If Haley never voiced Sora and just voiced Vanitas would you still like Vanitas's voice?Or did you pick Vanitas because he just has a good voice in general?

For me, it's a little bit of both. I like how Vanitas is the complete opposite of Sora, and as opposites it feels like the Pit/Dark Pit thing where one is pure and childish and the other is hateful and mature. I think Vanitas being the opposite of Sora is a great thing itself, however I also think that if Haley was new to the series and hadn't played Sora since the beginning, that Haley would have been a great addition because Vanitas's voice can really stand on its own as how dark and twisted it is.

Haley may do a great job as Sora, and I love Sora and all, but it's just that Haley really surprised me when he voiced Vanitas!  I didn't know Haley could make his voice sound so evil and badass!  I enjoyed every word that came out of Vanitas's mouth, cuz I think that his voice really fit his personality!  So yeah, Haley nailed the role of Vanitas perfectly, and as such, that's the role I love Haley the most in! :D

There you go xD

I personally prefer Vanitas as it's more out of the norm of Hayley Joel Osment's usual role as Sora. It's amazing how he's able to effectively convey the character who's the heart of the series and the one who has no heart equally effectively.
