You mean like the Original Japanese audio and English dub?
 
I've been with the english dub the whole time, it would be kind of odd to switch on the home stretch... however if the option were available I'd probably play two times through with each version assuming subtitles were available. 

My big Kh theory; Xehanort is going to turn Sora into Vanitas: 
 
I predict that the entire aim of Xehanort in all his schemes recently is to recreate not only the Xblade but the one experiment that was closest to achieving that end. That experiment being Vanitas, that guy that looks disturbingly similar to Sora. How are they going to bring Vanitas back? By turning Sora into him. In fact that has been their entire aim since Chain Of Memories all the way to Dream Drop Distance. 
 
Now I know the refutes for this theory are as follows. Vanitas co existed with Sora so Sora is not Vanitas. 
 
However its far more complicated then that. Lets start at the very beginning of Vanitas's birth. He was getting sucked out of Ventus when Sora's newborn heart floated in and interacted with the two of them, healing Ventus and (my belief anyway) giving some of Sora's darkness in his stronger heart to Vanitas and thus making his appearance the dominant one even though he was supposed to be made from Ventus. 
So this mean Vanitas and Sora were born at the same time even though one was full grown and one was a newborn baby. It also means that if I'm right That Sora was not entirely whole when he was born, meaning he was missing a lot of the darkness in his heart which may explain why he is so happy all the time. So in a sense Sora and to a lesser extent Ventus were the light half and Vanitas was the dark half of two hearts. 
Then after Stuff goes down in Birth By Sleep Ventus and Vanitas reunite four years later and Ventus has to recuperate inside Sora. Ventus had none of his memories at this point although I'm not sure the same could be said of Vanitas, but at that point Sora's heart and persona was the most dominant. Like Roxas said in BBB it could of gone differently and Roxas could of chosen to become the dominant persona but "it had to be Sora" instead. 
 
Its all about Persona's and which is the most dominant. Like Riku and Ansem were fighting for dominance or when Xehanort and Terra was doing the same, Sora instead of contending with one extra persona and heart has many he has had to handle over the course of his life, though most have been incapacitated or memory wiped in one way or another. The have made hints to this dichotomy throughout the game and it left me with the question, what if an aggressive persona tried for Sora?
 
As Xemnas said "Memory and the heart are tightly related"
 
That is what a persona is. A collection of memories and decisions that make a person who they are. You take away those memories and the recollection of these decisions and then the persona is no more and can be rewritten, much like the Tron arc in dream drop distance. So the question is if I'm right and if they have been trying to bring Vanitas's persona and form out of Sora, have they been trying to attack Sora's memories and decisions? 
 
Anyone who has played the games can answer this with a resounding yes. 
 
At first Ansem, Xehanorts heartless, wanted to turn Riku into the Surrogate Vanitas. This is why he had Vanitas's uniform, his fighting stance, and why he was so chill when the darkness swallowed destiny Islands in the first game. He was trained and prepared for that to happen. We all know how that apprenticeship worked out, Ansem took over his body when he thought he was prepped enough and then he was eventually defeated and dominated by Sora and then Riku. Riku's heart and Persona were so dominant that he could hold Ansem's form and retain control. 
 
However When Sora released Kairi with Riku Ansem's dark keyblade he also released his nobody, previously memory wiped Ventus became Roxas and Kairi's Namine came into existence. Sora for a brief period of time became a shadow, but do to Kairi hugging him and her heart being inside him for so long, she was able to reboot his persona. Like Ansem Seeker of Darkness he was able to retain a human shape even though he was a heartless and remained a heartless until at least kh2. 
 
Without Sora's body and the other persona's buffering him from Vanitas he was much more vulnerable to being taken over during that period of time. This is what Castle Oblivion and 358/2 days was all about; Wiping his memories and his persona to rebirth Vanitas. However there was two different schools of thought over how it should be done in Organization 13. One group thought Vanitas should be born in Castle Oblivion and Xemnas and his people believed that it would be better to have Vanitas transferred into a Replica known as Xion. 
 
They thought Xion a failure though because of the fact that she was siphoning off residual memories of Kairi from her time inside Sora and thus taking on her appearance until those memories were fully downloaded and she started siphoning off Sora's persona. Xion in her desperation had Roxas Destroy her before she became Vanitas, stopping it at an armored Sora nobody thing. Namine similarly stopped Vanitas from coming out by Putting Sora to sleep to "help him heal" while that was a nicer way of saying stop him from going bad on them.
 
During Kh2 one of the features of the Drives was Sora going Anti-sora when you abused the system. It should be noted that the black form and gold eyes not only resemble a shadow but Vanitas as well (kind of a stretch but I like it). During Dream drop distance Xehanort in all his forms alluded to the fact that Sora wasn't what he thought he was, that he should "check if the contents resemble whats on the label", and that he was the key to their plans to come into being. For them to recreate the Xblade. For them to recreate Vanitas.  
 
What this could mean for Kh3:
 
I believe that for a time in Kh3 they will succeed and that Sora will be turned into Vanitas. I believe that Riku and probably Kairi and others will have to come and deal with the Sora/Vanitas, and give him speeches about friendship and all that Jazz, do a boss battle that strikingly resemble the fight between Riku and Sora from Kh1 but role reversed, and all the emotional turmoil that will come from having the happiest character in Kingdom Hearts go evil. 
 
It won't be for long: 
 
Such a thing like this will be short lived though, he will not be stuck that way for long and it will probably end with an internal battle between Sora and Vanitas in that Stain glass world we are always seeing. At which point Sora will win and become his good old self again. 
 
This theory of mine has been in the making for a long while but I have not seen everything to be completely sure, however I think it will be an awesome twist to the game if they do it like this. What do you think?

I totally had some Coraline flash backs right then 
 

Same voice actor. Same back story of working for the bad guys while being a good guy. Practically the same look. Both funny and smexy. I want to see them team up! 
 

Exactly! "Ha cha cha, guess who got himself a keyblade..." 

Yus! Both would go pretty well with Kingdom hearts. Obviously you'd have to pick and choose what would thematically fit but I don't think its out of the realm of possibility. 
also I could totally see Sora mingling with the Soul Eater cast. 

What I want to know is. If Larxene was part of the original Organization XIII and going to be one of the thirteen darknesses and vessels of Xehanort...wouldn't that mean Xehanort wanted to become a woman? An Old man heart in Larxene's body... 

um...The current Alice in wonderland for the Movie alice in wonderland...I guess 

Personally I'd love more of a Sandbox system for the kingdom hearts levels. It wouldn't have to be as big as Grand Theft Auto's virtual miles of space but there could be enough room for more stuff like side quests other things that make the level playable after the story section is over. 

Yes! I totally agree! 

Lol, King Mickey would be actually surprised if he saw him with a keyblade.(Mickey: Mortimer! you're always one step behind!!! :angry: )You know I always wanted Max (Goofy's son) to appear too.

I've been thinking (I do that sometimes) and I am hoping they give Mickey some more depth in Kh3. Specifically I am hoping for them to tie in Mickey's rivals to his rise to becoming King Mickey. The two biggest rivals he has ever had are Mortimer Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. 
 
Mortimer Mouse was at one point a major rival for Minnie's affections and though Mickey clearly won out in the end the tension is still palpable between these two. Here is a clip of an old video showing Mortimer getting Minnie all hot and bothered and Mickey getting hella pissed off 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMUe_LW8bZc
Mortimer could of at one point been vying for the role of king as well as Keyblade master. 
 
Oswald The lucky rabbit on the the other hand could of held the title of King (if they had that back then) first before Mickey but had lost it to him a long time ago and was lost to darkness. How and/or why Mickey went about taking the throne would be interesting to see. 
 
All and all it would bring some new demensions into the good Magesty's character and I hope they bring these two rivals into play. 

No damn way they are making that an organization member, they are all original characters anyway. 

Oh dear god...no...just no 

Love the sig... 

Alright you got me convinced... you are good at that. 

Black f*cking Cauldron. The horned King would be a perfect Kh villain. 
 

I could see him summoning heartless, couldn't you? 

Hey they redeemed the Grinch and Scrooge, it could happen. 

Axel/Lea has to be one of my favorite characters in kingdom hearts and I am rooting for his success in Kh3. Like he said to Xion in 358/2 days in that amazing scene "Go on, You just keep running! But I will always be there to bring you back!" 
 
What does he want?
(the shipper in me says Roxas but I won't go there)
He is fighting to get all his friends back, even the one he doesn't quite remember. Roxas, Xion, (maybe ventus), and Isa are all separated from him in one way or another and it seems like Axel/Lea will go through hell and back to have them be with him again. 
 
Seriously one of the most compelling character arcs in the entire game and I can't wait to see him get what he wants. 
 
Also he is f*cking hot, I mean just look at him.

Me too cause right now it looks like this
