Fact: In every Kingdom Hearts game, we always take control of a character that controls a Keyblade. (Sora, Roxas, Ventus, etc)
Fact: The other members of the party have either been CPU controlled characters who also have Keyblades or just use weapons like a shield or sword.
Fact: We've never been able to control two people at once. Just one person in each party.
BUT... think about this for a second...
The synopsis so far for KH3's story: Sora, Donald, and Goofy are going to look for the Seven Lights. Okay, seems simple: the original three are back together, they got renders out already, happy happy happy, BUT!!! ... If you look at the other half of the synopsis, you'll read that Master Riku and King Mickey are going to play a pretty meaty role in the story too, finding previous Keyblade wielders and what not.
Now, level with me on this: Riku and King Mickey are pretty badass characters right? And we've only been able to play as them in certain games, right? (Re:COM, KH2, Days, and DDD for Riku, KH2 and Days for Mickey) So, would it make sense to have this guys be playable characters in Kingdom Hearts 3? Yes. Yes it would. And now that we have that out of the way... now comes the part where we discuss how they'll play, and I have an inventive idea on how to do just that.
So, we have two Keyblade users with a bunch of badass abilites and powers, a two man party system (as far as we know) and from there, it's child's play... let's see... how about this: we have our default player set on Riku, and during the game, we can switch between playing as him and King Mickey with a simple click of the directional pad. Marvel Ultimate Alliance style. Also, since I brought up the idea of tag team with the title, how about we have special attacks created just for these two? No, not Limit attacks, I mean like combos that can be set up after using the Keyblade in succession for a certain attack. Or maybe we could have a sort of juggling system where Riku and King Mickey can attack enemies at the same time and both perform damage with their own attacks in succession.
The ideas are limitless really, but here's my main point: Riku and King Mickey should both be playable characters AND should have their own sort of tag team gameplay system where both of them can do some really cool moves together. And I didn't mention this earlier, but.... co-op maybe? That oughta sell some games.
