No.

His new voice actor was confirmed a while back as Bret Iwan.

No - Dilan, Aeleus, and Braig are ANSEM's guards. That's Ansem's castle they're guarding. Remember that the first six (or rather five at the time of BBS) Organization members were Ansem the Wise's apprentices back when they were still humans. Looks like Even and probably Ienzo handle the science department while Braig, Dilan, and Aeleus act as the castle's guards... or they probably switch the jobs around.

The numbering of the Organization members doesn't signify their ranks; rather, it only shows when they've joined. Saïx was Xemnas' right-hand man and he was No. VII. Marluxia's a newer member, him being No. XI, then came Larxene, No. XII, and finally Roxas, No. XIII.

Like I said, the first six Organization members' somebodies are Ansem's apprentices. Terra, Aqua, and Ven's master has already been confirmed as Master Eraqus, and the three of them were sent by him to locate Master Xehanort who disappeared early in the game. This scan states that Braig is interested in Keyblades and it looks as if he managed to capture Master Xehanort (or more believably, MX purposely turned himself in to trick TAV). Nomura DID say that Braig would be a somewhat important character in BBS, since it has been hinted many times in the past games that he had met TAV.

Huh? Where'd you hear that? BBS will be released in English shortly after its Japanese release on January 9, 2010. The only KH games that won't be released internationally are the Final Mixes and possibly Coded.

All thirteen Organization members will be playable in multiplayer.

Plus, there are unlockable secret characters: Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Xion, Riku, Sora, and Hooded Dual-Wielding Roxas.

Not really - it's also said that Aqua's "an honor student who is very serious and puts up a cold front".

I'm actually pretty glad we finally have a main female protagonist who has guts and doesn't always have to be rescued (Kairi) and can stand up for herself (Naminé).

It was pretty much confirmed in the Final Mix cutscene where Xigbar chats with Zexion that Xigbar had met VAT during his time as a human. In fact, Nomura confirms that Braig has seen VAT when he was a disciple to Ansem the Wise. However, from the way Xigbar was speaking about VAT, it doesn't seem like he ever fought them - at most, he had conversed with them at one point.

Here's the latest piece of news about Xigbar's role in BBS:

It's Winter 2009. Nomura said that they're aiming to finish the game before the holiday season this year.

Yes, it's true. If you read the Secret Ansem Reports from KH2, Ansem states that he had six apprentices : Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo, and his newest - Xehanort, whom Ansem found collapsed in Radiant Garden. This was about 9 years ago, very close to the time of Birth by Sleep.

No, that was when Xehanort was still human. The six members left Ansem to form the Organization after they became Nobodies. If you notice in that flashback cutscene, Xehanort had a different voice, and had shorter and different-colored hair than his Nobody, Xemnas. The reason Xemnas still looks a lot like Xehanort anyway after all these years is because Nobodies don't age (according to Nomura in a recent interview).

Xemnas, Roxas, and Naminé and exceptions to the rule concerning Nobodies due to special circumstances that took place when their human counterparts lost their hearts. Both Roxas and Naminé were "born" when Sora turned the Keyblade on himself in KH1. To put it in Ansem the Wise's words:

Roxas. And it was purely symbolic, of course.

Nomura stated that all three characters (Terra, Aqua, and Ven) are equally important, not one over another.

Lol, slow down mate. First of all, it's Ansem, not Asmas. Let me break it down for you:

There is only one real Ansem: Ansem the Wise. You know, the old guy from KH2?

The Xehanort we saw in KH2 lost his heart, so a Heartless and a Nobody were born. The Heartless (who stole Ansem's name) is the guy we fought in KH1, although we didn't know that at the time. In KH2, we learned that this "Ansem" was actually just the Heartless of Xehanort. The guy we fought at the end of KH2 was Xemnas, the leader of Organization XIII and the Nobody of Xehanort (Xemnas is "Ansem" jumbled up with an "X" added. So yeah, Xehanort's Nobody also stole Ansem the Wise's name, just like Xehanort's Heartless). So now, Xehanort is completely gone. Both his Heartless and Nobody have been defeated. BUT, remember that when you beat both someone's Heartless and Nobody, the original person comes back...

Now, the old guy in BBS is NOT the Xehanort from KH2. The old guy is a completely different character named "Master Xehanort". The reason why they both have the same name will be revealed when we play BBS, so just wait a bit.

Already going through the future of KH without even knowing something that basic? Come on. :blink:

Basically, a bit after the time of BBS, Ansem the Wise had 6 apprentices, Braig, Dilan, Vexen, Aeleus, Ienzo, and a newcomer, Xehanort. Soon, Xehanort and the other apprentices caused some sort of lab accident (from dangerious darkness experiments) that resulted in them losing their hearts, forming their Heartless and Nobodies. Xehanort's Heartless is "Ansem" from KH1. The 6 Nobodies became the first 6 members of the Organization, whose names are anagrams of their original human names with an "X" added (Xehanort took Ansem's name). So the first 6 members are Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, and Zexion. They only collected more members to further aid them in their research and goals. But the members did not necessarily need to be scientists - they just needed to be strong Nobodies that are capable of carrying out the Organization's needs. Get it?

Xigbar (Braig) seems to know a lot about important past events, particularly about what happened during BBS. He also apparently knows Terra, Aqua, and Ven. Remember in KH2, he told Sora before fighting him, "You don't look like half the hero the others were." And in a new cutscene in KH2:FM, he had a conversation with Zexion about Xemnas' past and previous Keyblade wielders. Nomura already confirmed that Xigbar witnessed the events of BBS.

Seriously, read the Secret Ansem Reports from KH2. It should clear up a LOT.

The game isn't pointless, actually. Though its on a cellphone, Nomura said that the game shouldn't be taken lightly. The whole "forbidden secret" thing is apparently very important to the whole KH story. He also said that Coded isn't another CoM, that you don't just relive the worlds from KH1. Taking place after KH2, Coded's definitely going to set up the events for the eventual KH3. Remember that all three of the handheld KH games "will connect to a new Kingdom Hearts game sooner or later"...

Alright, I don't mean to totally drag you down, but I just want to clarify a few things so that you do better in your future theories:

1.) You don't fight Heartless in BBS - you fight Unbirths. Neither Heartless nor Nobodies existed back then as Xehanort had not created the first purebred Heartless at the time.

2.) I'm pretty sure Maleficent's main goal is the obvious: Take the Seven Princesses to rule all worlds. We also see that she's trying to lure Terra closer into the darkness, kinda like what she did with Riku... As for the Unbirths, they seem to contain too much power for Maleficent to handle, therefore she might not have authority over them.

3.) Possibly your biggest flaw: Ven ISN'T Roxas. Roxas is Sora's Nobody - created right when Sora stabbed himself with the Keyblade. I just need to emphasize that point since Nomura has confirmed it so (albeit indirectly).

This next bit of proof may spoil you a bit for 358/2 Days, so proceed with caution:

Spoiler

On day 354, Xigbar (who obviously has connections to Terra, Aqua, and Ven) sees Xion as Ven before fighting her. I won't completely spoil it, but Xion has a certain connection to Sora, and every person views her differently depending on their connection with her. Roxas and Axel can see her without her hood since they are good friends, other members can only see her hooded, and Xigbar can see her as Ven. This proves that Ven has more of a connection with Sora than with Roxas - Roxas just assumes the appearance of Ven. Here's the video:
