Haley Joel Osment comments on Kingdom Hearts III

Zap2it recently interviewed Haley Joel Osment, the English voice actor for Sora and he briefly commented on Kingdom Hearts III. He confirms that he spoke with Square Enix following the announcement at E3 2013 and that he hopes to voice Sora in Kingdom Hearts III. You can watch the video and read the transcript below, thanks to opinion from KH13 for the tip.

Zap2it: "Now, one last question. I'm going to nerd out a little on you, but you've been involved in the Kingdom Hearts franchise for a really long time, and people are excited about 'Kingdom Hearts III' finally coming out. Can you talk a little bit about that? Have you seen the script or anything?"

HJO: "I saw the announcement and then talked with them a little on the phone. I started doing ‘Kingdom Hearts’ in 2001, and we’ve done the main series and then the Game Boy one. I feel like I’ve done seven or eight installments, which is awesome but with this, they’re making it now and the recording of the dialogue is one of the last parts of the process. Probably this summer or later."

Zap2it: "But we'll have you back for Sora?"

HJO: "That’s what I hear. Sometimes Sora goes back to being a child or goes to another universe or changes into somebody else so I can never say for sure, but hopefully I’ll be back."

Man, just watched the interview. I bet his voice is going to be deep in this one. *Sniff* They grew up so fast :P

I hope it's deep. HJO's natural tone is super sexy. It would boost Sora's sex appeal greatly. He would probably be on par with Riku...probably.

    Am I the only one who caught the part that said that Sora sometimes changes into a different person?

    He got fat.

    He was already.

     

    Hopefully he comes back. He IS Sora. The fact that he's enthusiastic about the series just cements the deal.

    Sounds like he's guessing as to when KH3 recording will begin (the volume cuts out when he says at the earliest), but either way it sounds like he will still be on board as long as Square Enix/Disney will have him for the foreseeable future

    By the way, his Wikipedia entry states that he eats a mostly meat-free diet...except for chicken and fish. That's like...ALL the meat. Other than ham, I guess. No wonder he's so chubby, he's fooling himself! xD

    His voice sounds a lot deeper now in that video but it's hard to say wether he cans till do the role or not. Some people who voice act have a full range of ability to sound different. And didn't he recently do dream drop distance?

     

    Also i just realized he is actually older than me.

    The problem is the voice. I hope the voice lead thing doesn't make him to force Sora's voice like in Kh3D

    It's not like he could say "nobody" or something to mainstream media. We can't say those thing to our non-nerd friends either. So he said what it technically is.

    Ouch guys, c'mon, that hurts, we're only 26 T_T

    And he may have gained weight for Spoils of Babylon. Actors do it all the time.

     Exactly. I'm pretty used to still seeing him in movies he did when he was a kid as well.

    I agree, Nomura's said that the game still has alot to go through and if recording is the last thing, its going to be awhile

     

    Personally I think Haley Joel Osment knows about as much as we do right now

     

    It could be for an ad or something like that.

    I wonder why he said he didn't know if Sora would be the same person...I mean, if he knew the story, he'd know that in KH3, it's going to be in the REAL world this time, so it would in fact be the 'real' Sora.

     

    I guess he doesn't know the story that well.

    I mean I just don't remember when was the last time I seen him. A movie or perhaps a picture of him.
