@blueserenity72 жыл бұрын
Really nice to hear a recent clip of HJO speaking on the role. He does seem to really enjoy it, and it comes across in his acting. I think KH2 will always be my favorite performance from him just because it was kind of a "right place, right time" sort of thing where it matched up really closely with Haley's actual age and maturity. I know what he means when he says that it was harder to hit certain parts of Sora's voice while his voice was still changing (I think he's mostly referring to Re:COM) but despite that, there's a certain softness to Sora's KH2 voice that just really rings true to his character and the more complex themes of the game. I think the end sections of KH3 and Remind are the closest he's gotten to that tone since. So it's great to see he's still got it in him and that we can count on him to keep tying the whole series together. I'm hoping that Nomura keeps slowly letting Sora age and mature though, since it'll only give Haley more to work with and deliver on.
