Haley Joel Osment, the English voice actor for Sora in the Kingdom Hearts series, is currently holding an "ask me anything" on reddit. Here, people can ask HJO anything they like, and he will choose questions to answer. Hopefully he answers a few Kingdom Hearts-related questions! We will keep updating below with any that he answers.

Artvandelay1: Have you started working on Kingdom Hearts 3 yet? What do you know about it that you can legally share with us?

HJOsment: Wow, lots of Kingdom Hearts questions! I am a fan of the series too, so I am excited to see what they do with KH3. I only have about as much information as you all do at the moment; they are still making the game, and my part is one of the last steps in the process. I won't be involved until later in the year at the earliest. But I will let you all know if I hear anything more!

lanxner: The Kingdom Hearts plot is really hard to follow, but seeing as you’ve provided your voice for most of the games, can you understand most of it? Do you tend to play the games yourself?

HJOsment: I will never forget walking in for the first session of KH2 and seeing that the producers had set up a bulletin board with a flow chart explaining the sequence of events in different universes and watching them almost struggle to sort it out. It wasn't that they weren't knowledgeable, they just were still unraveling the story for themselves and dealing with the huge amount of information Nomura-San puts out. That was when I personally realized how video games had reached the level of art. Or maybe when I beat the Spirit Temple for the first time on N64....

KMA10k: With regards to Kingdom Hearts, how does it feel to have played the character of Sora for essentially half your life now? Is it an honor, a burden, or something else entirely?

HJOsment: It is weird to think that this is the character I've been with the longest! It's a great series though and I hope it goes on and on and on.....I did a play in Philadelphia a few years ago ( "Red" by John Logan) and we had a talkback after one Student Matinee....every single question was "WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE COMING OUT?" I enjoyed that.

Driz51: Who is your favorite Kingdom Hearts character besides Sora and what is your favorite line of Sora's?

HJOsment: the number of times i have screamed "RI KUUUUUU"... Kairi's great too....not playing favorites

Hey reddit, it's me Haley Joel Osment, here to answer your questions.

If you look at the side of the page it says that Haley Joel Osment isnt doing the AMA until 2 so it probably wont show any links to it until then.

    Let's hope. This is literally a once in a lifetime opportunity...First time he's ever done it, I don't wanna miss it!!!

    If you want to go to it, it's 2PM east coast time, so it'd be 1pm central and earlier from there.

    Ask him if he would appreciate Sora getting voiced by someone younger? (Therefore replacing him)

    Instead of keeping Sora at 15-16 years old, they need to bump him up in age a little bit. At least 17-18 for any game after KHIII.

    I was literally just thinking the exact same thing and about to post that. 

     

    It'd be awesome to see Sora actually grow up with us, and having the same voice actor throughout the entire process would be amazing.

    Would you like a large, or a small bullet exit wound on your head?

     

    In all due seriousness, since I don't have a reddit can someone ask him what his opinion is on Sora and Kairi if they shared a kiss?

    What state were you born?

     

    Who's your fav. basketball player?

     

    How's your family? 

     

    Where do you live?

    I can't help but notice that he only answered the questions halfway. Like, he talks about how the producers had a struggle to piece together the storyboard, but he didn't answer 1. if HE could understand the plot, or 2. whether he played the games himself (although stating that he's a fan himself kinda gives that one away.....right?).Also, he says that it feels weird, in a good way, that he's been with Sora for half his life, but he doesn't answer the question of whether he considers the role of Sora to be an honour or not.Misunderstand me correct, I LOVE Haley Joel Osment and his performance as Sora JUST as much as the rest of you, but it annoys me when celebrities don't answer questions directly :-/

    If I could ask him a couple of questions it would be:* What do YOU expect out of KHIII?* Do you ever attend conventions in order to meet up with some of your fans?* Have you ever considered doing a Kingdom Hearts let's play with your Sora voice? (come on people, that would be awesome and hilarious!!! xD)

    Just sent a message to Haley Joel Osment about what new worlds there could be in terms of new Disney worlds and possibly Pixar worlds.

    Don't get too exited. Even if he does have any information about KH III (which he probably doesn't) He's be under a confidentiality agreement barring him from directly answering any questions about it.
