I swear if he doesn't mention Kairi, I'mma gonna go break some cars... Maybe a city as well

[Sorarocks93 678]

Is it me or his voice has changed?

 

I'm honestly glad they did the change. I liked the KH2 outfit but it's a new numbered title so it was needed.

I thought the same thing but it's not static bug noises, they're just speaking Japanese.
