So we all know that Kingdom Hearts III is slowly approaching, and TGS is even closer. I am somewhat expecting a Kingdom Hearts announcement, but I'm also counting on a Final Fantasy Versus XIII announcement. A part of me believes that KH3 and FFVXIII will be announced then, mainly because I still believe in that silly one KH game a year thing Nomura told us a while back. Anyway, I'd like to discuss with all of you who read this/post in this thread what we want to see in upcoming Kingdom Hearts titles. This represents my opinion only, and I do not mean to say this needs to happen or I will hate the series. These are merely things I would like to happen. I've gotten by loving the games in the series that didn't have these things. That being said, here are some things that I would like to see in the future of Kingdom Hearts.:

• Kairi - Get that girl some character development. Her vitals are low. Assuming she does get the character development she deserves, she should become an important character, not just some girl waiting for Sora and Riku to come home.
• Loose ends - This mainly has to do with KHIII.When the Xehanort Saga finishes, I want everything that wasn't finished finished. If some things that have been touched upon haven't finished, I would like them to be in future KH games. I'm not looking for questions that people ask all the time but the series has never brought up.
• New Characters - Final Fantasy characters included, but not too much. I'd like KH to not turn into a Final Fantasy crossover. More original characters. Even if they are minor characters, KH deserves some original characters. I'd prefer more female characters, but more characters in general as well.
• NPCs - This falls into both of the more characters category, but I think KH could really use a lot more NPCs. Although I got past every KH game I've played just fine without many NPCs, I feel like it can only help the series. Oh, and shops would be fun. I actually enjoy going to shops to restock on items I will need later on. Synthesis should be improved. I'm thinking more items to synthesize and not just the best weapons and Elixirs and stuff.
• Sidequests. Oh my God yes. I would love for sidequests to be added into the game. Not just KHIII, but the entire series as well. It would give the series a bigger feel and more expansive. I'm not saying they should be necessary, but I'm saying that I would appreciate them.
• CGI. If KH3 is using Versus 13's engine, I know they can handle it. I'm not asking for the entire game to be CGI(Although it would be nice, I wouldn't have any complaints.), I would just like moments of high importance(Notice I didn't say important moments.) to be in CG. If they aren't, that is fine with me. As long as the opening and ending are (like KH tradition...usually.), that's fine with me.
• Namine, Roxas, and Xion - These three should remain in the series. But in order for that to happen, these three should (IMO) have loads of character development. I believe that if they are to truly form their own hearts(assuming all three of them are), they should become their own person with their own importance. I get the feeling that Namine will disappear when Sora thanks her, but I also get the feeling that she too will grow her own heart. Xion is...a mess. Sora knows of her existence, and I'm sure Roxas does too. I want her to become her own person, but I don't know how I want Nomura to go about it.
• Worlds - I am getting tired of seeing the same old Disney Worlds. If old worlds are going to be reused, they should have a creative and captivating story. Except Olympus Coliseum, that can stay. The Games are fun. There are plenty of Disney worlds available that haven't been covered. I am aware that not everything Disney is available, though. I somewhat want the worlds to expand to allow for more exploration. Again, bringing up that bigger feel.
• Consoles - This I don't have a huge problem with. To be honest, I haven't had a huge problem with anything really. I'd like if Kingdom Hearts were to not switch consoles so often, but I don't have a problem with it. As long as the gameplay, story, quality, or money doesn't suffer, I could care less.
• Gameplay - I am positive that as KH goes on the Gameplay will become more refined and they (they being the people working on the games, even though I just mention Nomura a lot. I know there are a lot more people than Nomura working on Kingdom Hearts.) will find innovative and fun ways to make the gameplay better.
• Playable Characters - Although it seems like a lot of people want only Sora as the main playable character, I would really enjoy the ability to play as other characters like Kairi, Riku, Roxas, Terra, Ven, and Aqua. As long as they aren't clones of each other, I think it would be really fun. Now that I really think about it, co-op with the story would be amazing, with one person playing as Sora and the other person(I would say up to two other people, because that's the most amount of characters in a party in the series at the moment.) would play as the other character, and you enjoy the story together. The co-op isn't a huge want, though.
• Sora - This boy is like that other girl. He needs character development. I mean I guess he's already gotten some throughout his games, but he could use some more. He is a Mary Sue, or whatever the male version of that is. I want to see him crash and burn. Then pick himself back up again and be a badass.
• TO BE ADDED LATER.

That's really all I have to say on things at the moment. I'd really like to hear your comments and suggestions for what you would like to see!

Erm... CGI refers to prerendered scenes that CAN'T be rendered within the game's engine. Beingon Versus XIII's won't change that.

A PS1 game can have every cutscene done in CG

And that's the reason KH already has CG scenes.

The reason there aren't more is because of space limitations, and a lack of budget for the KH franchise compared to Final Fantasy

Oh, I'm really sorry about that. I just figured that CGI meant the stuff we saw in openings. I didn't mean to be so stupid. =/

http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png I will give my remarks on it all!

 

-0_0 I think Kairi should have more development too. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/sleep.png She already irritates me enough by doing NOTHING. But it seems that based on the Secret Ending to DDD, she's going to be of more use in the later run.

 

-YES, there are many loose ends based on everything. Most likely Kingdom Hearts 3 will tie it all up brilliantly.

 

-0_0 I kinda agree, there need to be more stronger female characters. It's literally THIS order: "Master" Aqua, Larxene (Though, I don't think she really counts, but she IS considered a supporting character...), Shiki (She counts prior DDD and TWEWY to me. ), Xion, Namine, Kairi.

 

-Well, non-playable characters tend to be cool characters. Look at the cast of The World Ends With You. They were awesome in their own way. And then the Final Fantasy characters! They always had your back, especially... 0.0 CLOUDDDD.

 

-It depends on the sidequests for me. If it's anything like Final Fantasy XIII, then... 0_0 I'll pass. If they're good ones like the missions in -Crisis Core- Final Fantasy VII, then that'd be the best thing ever. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png

 

-Yes. YES. YESSSSSS! THAT would be pleasing! I LOVE the CGI cutscenes, they're so pretty!

 

-Of COURSE those three should stay, they make up a base of the story too.

 

-I like how they added new worlds into DDD, and I really hope they add more of them. While I do like some of the worlds, especially the originals... There should definitely be more variety.

 

-I never had a problem with multiple consoles either, but... I kinda don't want to invest in a PS3, as I know that it will be on that system more than likely.

 

-0_0 The gameplay will be awesome no matter WHAT. It's Kingdom Hearts, man!

 

-I... still like playing as Sora, personally, though playing as other characters are a good bonus, especially as Riku in DDD, Roxas in Kingdom Hearts 2 and 358/2 Days, and as Terra, Ven and Aqua during Birth by Sleep. It would be good either way,

 

-...Based on what I've been seeing in Dream Drop Distance, it seems like Sora already HAS begun to crash and burn. But I bet by the time KH3 comes around... 0_0 He's gonna end up dealing with more than just Xehanort trying to corrupt him again. I mean, the guy nearly dies about... three times, in different ways, for the same reason. That game makes all of the series seem like a total fluke, and that Sora was just a puppet in Xehanort's game, fighting for nothing in the end. Heh. I personally don't think that being overly optimistic makes him a "Gary Stu", and he's also shown a lot of promise as a character throughout the series, though Riku is MUCH more developed. 0_0 I defend Sora a LOT, I'm sorry, but that's just my opinion.

 

My own criteria... I'd love to just see the story end on a satisfying note. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png I've always played for the story. Hopefully, it ends either good... 0.0 or at least in an unexpected way.

Oh, I'm really sorry about that. I just figured that CGI meant the stuff we saw in openings. I didn't mean to be so stupid. =/

 

It IS, at least, with KH

But CGI is its own thing, it has nothing to do with the power of a system (Besides memory, as I said before)

That's why a CGI opening has been used in most KH games, despite being on different systems

 

 

 

 

• Kairi - Get that girl some character development. Her vitals are low. Assuming she does get the character development she deserves, she should become an important character, not just some girl waiting for Sora and Riku to come home. (I do believe so, but in the Secret Ending, it shows Kairi being the 7th Guardian of Light. This may show more character development)
• Loose ends - This mainly has to do with KHIII.When the Xehanort Saga finishes, I want everything that wasn't finished finished. If some things that have been touched upon haven't finished, I would like them to be in future KH games. I'm not looking for questions that people ask all the time but the series has never brought up. (Yeah I kind of agree with this)
• New Characters - Final Fantasy characters included, but not too much. I'd like KH to not turn into a Final Fantasy crossover. More original characters. Even if they are minor characters, KH deserves some original characters. I'd prefer more female characters, but more characters in general as well. (More female characters indeed. We have like 5 or 6 while we have 497097403974023974 males. I want each to have character development)
• NPCs - This falls into both of the more characters category, but I think KH could really use a lot more NPCs. Although I got past every KH game I've played just fine without many NPCs, I feel like it can only help the series. Oh, and shops would be fun. I actually enjoy going to shops to restock on items I will need later on. Synthesis should be improved. I'm thinking more items to synthesize and not just the best weapons and Elixirs and stuff. (I really agree to this. The worlds in DDD were huge but with no life in it, it made me feel alone and the place feels lifeless.)
• Sidequests. Oh my God yes. I would love for sidequests to be added into the game. Not just KHIII, but the entire series as well. It would give the series a bigger feel and more expansive. I'm not saying they should be necessary, but I'm saying that I would appreciate them. (I do believe is a nice addition, but id like the stories of each world to be have more depth and actually have a great story, like The Grid)
• CGI. If KH3 is using Versus 13's engine, I know they can handle it. I'm not asking for the entire game to be CGI(Although it would be nice, I wouldn't have any complaints.), I would just like moments of high importance(Notice I didn't say important moments.) to be in CG. If they aren't, that is fine with me. As long as the opening and ending are (like KH tradition...usually.), that's fine with me. (id like the ones we have now other than CGI)
• Namine, Roxas, and Xion - These three should remain in the series. But in order for that to happen, these three should (IMO) have loads of character development. I believe that if they are to truly form their own hearts(assuming all three of them are), they should become their own person with their own importance. I get the feeling that Namine will disappear when Sora thanks her, but I also get the feeling that she too will grow her own heart. Xion is...a mess. Sora knows of her existence, and I'm sure Roxas does too. I want her to become her own person, but I don't know how I want Nomura to go about it. (Namine has somewhat of character development. Roxas has shit ton of character development. Xion has character development.)
• Worlds - I am getting tired of seeing the same old Disney Worlds. If old worlds are going to be reused, they should have a creative and captivating story. Except Olympus Coliseum, that can stay. The Games are fun. There are plenty of Disney worlds available that haven't been covered. I am aware that not everything Disney is available, though. I somewhat want the worlds to expand to allow for more exploration. Again, bringing up that bigger feel. (Id also like Shibuya...so Sora can agree to his promise to meet the TWEWY characters. But I do agree with this...except Olympus Coliseum)
• Consoles - This I don't have a huge problem with. To be honest, I haven't had a huge problem with anything really. I'd like if Kingdom Hearts were to not switch consoles so often, but I don't have a problem with it. As long as the gameplay, story, quality, or money doesn't suffer, I could care less. (I want KH3 to be on a console. I want them to bring the best out of the game tbh.)
• Gameplay - I am positive that as KH goes on the Gameplay will become more refined and they (they being the people working on the games, even though I just mention Nomura a lot. I know there are a lot more people than Nomura working on Kingdom Hearts.) will find innovative and fun ways to make the gameplay better. (Maybe you can pick which gameplay you want to pick like KH1/KH2, KH:COM/RE:COM, KH 358/2 days and KH:BBS/KH:RE:CODED/KH3D?)
• Playable Characters - Although it seems like a lot of people want only Sora as the main playable character, I would really enjoy the ability to play as other characters like Kairi, Riku, Roxas, Terra, Ven, and Aqua. As long as they aren't clones of each other, I think it would be really fun. Now that I really think about it, co-op with the story would be amazing, with one person playing as Sora and the other person(I would say up to two other people, because that's the most amount of characters in a party in the series at the moment.) would play as the other character, and you enjoy the story together.

• Sora - This boy is like that other girl. He needs character development. I mean I guess he's already gotten some throughout his games, but he could use some more. He is a Mary Sue, or whatever the male version of that is. I want to see him crash and burn. Then pick himself back up again and be a badass. (KH3D! He has so much character development in the last world. He was almost going to be the new vessel, which I disliked that the fact that he got saved)
• TO BE ADDED LATER.

 

 

I wish for a more dramatic and amazing OST.

KH3D and KHBBS had an amazing OST, I want something like that.

The last world better be terrific.

 

I want a darker plotline, like KH3D had.
