Imagine how awesome KHIII could have been if it skipped from CODED right to KHIII:
(OLD) master Xehanort returns and wants to recreate a Keyblade war by recruiting many Disney and Final Fantasy villains besides some new Original Character bad guys.
Yen Sid leads his army consisting of Sora, Riku, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Aqua and Ven, they clash and the good guys are assisted by some new Original characters that are drawn into the war.
Sora is the only main character and travels to many different worlds with Donald and Goofy. At certain fights he gets help from Mickey and the others like in KH2. Drive forms are back and Sora can use the original 5 but also gains new ones.
Reaction commands are more prominent and it is possible to enter command styles this way.
Sora can summon actual people like in KH1 rather than out-of-place roller-coasters and parade floats.
New Worlds include
“Tangled”,
“Frozen”,
“Duckburg” (whooo-oo),
“Shibuja”,
“Louisiana Bayou (Princess and the Frog)”,
“Treasure Planet”,
“The Black Cauldron”,
“Bambi’s forest”,
“Jungle Book”,
“101 Dalmatians” (guiding Dalmatians while fighting Jasper, Horace and Cruella!!!),
"Pocahontas Jamestown and Riverlands" (Native Tribes Sora but I see Disney causing troubles due to political correctness)
Vastly extended worlds return with new storylines:
“Radiant Garden”,
“Twilight Town” (Hayner Olette Pence!! ),
“Traverse Town”, “Destiny Islands” (finally playable again, maybe even first world!),
“Keyblade Graveyard”,
“Kingdom Hearts” (we finally get to see it),
“100 acre wood” (always welcome to chill out at and surely cute with new graphics),
“Port Royal” (Plot of Pirates 4 and return of merman Sora fighting an underwater battle against evil mermaids and sharks!),
“Never Land” (mainlands, goofing with lost boys and fighting Hook is always fun as well as FLYING!!),
“Olympus coliseum” (fighting ALL of the Titans!),
“Land of Dragons”
“Beasts Castle”
“Dwarf Woodlands”
All of the princesses of light’s worlds actually with awesome quests to save them all from Xehanort’s minions who want to capture them.
Sora wants to find a way to get to Xehanort’s secret hideout and he has to fight Disney villains in their respective worlds who act as guardians for Xehanort's plans. More and more new bad guy characters interfere with Sora's paths and he finds out where Xehanort is hiding.
As he approaches the Keyblade graveyard he fights Xehanort who has some new tricks and spells and Sora is assisted by several characters as party members. Imagine Sora, Riku and Aqua against Xehanort's ultimate Dragon-like form. Donald and Goofy protect Kairi and the princesses of heart back at Mysterious tower/ twilight town and Kairi especially fights off an army of heartless invading the tower.
Xehanort pulls a final trick: he found indeed a way to unlock Kingdom Hearts.
Then He threatens to kill Sora, all other characters are locked out and Sora has to fight a final fight before losing to Xehanort. Eventually Sora is almost lost and Yen Sid fights and defeats Xehanort for good.
Anyway there ARE some losses, Ven dies as do two of the 4 new characters and Sora almost dies too.
Sora recovers and Kairi confesses her Love for him in fear he might die. Masters Aqua, Mickey and Riku and (now-again) Master Yen Sid combine their Curaza spells but Sora faints and only Kairi can save Sora with a Kiss of true love.
Everything is fine, everyone returns to their home worlds.
Yen Sid trains one of the new Characters to wield the keyblade.
Sora, Riku and Kairi return to Destiny Islands and Kairi and Sora are finally together. Riku also brought another girl he met on their journey.
Mickey, Pluto, Donald and Goofy return to Disney Castle /Town and are happily welcomed by Minnie and Daisy.
Jiminy goes back to Pinocchio's world.
Aqua returns to the now-restored Land of Departure and examines Yen Sid's students for the Mark of Mastery. She also built a memorial for her fallen friends Ven and Terra.
THE BEST thing of KHIII could be its predictability. Deaths like Ven’s would come surprisingly but the sheer technical and visual superiority of the game combined with the final loss of Xehanort we are yearning for yould be the biggest strength of the game.
And a classical Disney-style Ending scene:
First we see all those ending scenes I mentioned above, and then during the credits all the Disney endings are played like in previous games.
Then the final scene:
Riku and his girl are leaning against the Paopu tree on Destiny islands, hugging and Kairi is seen fishing a bottled message out of the water by the docks. (a new raft is seen there too!)
Kairi opens the bottle and is surprised the letter is addressed to her. She reads the letter out loud and finds out it’s from Sora. The letter includes some poem that is similar to Kairi’s letter that saved sora in KH2 and ends with something really romantic/tacky like this:
We can see the end of the letter:
[…] Kairi,
You are my One Sky, my destiny.
I’ll always be with you
And I’ll always keep this promise.
[yours truly, Sora ]
Beneath the text we see Sora drew the Paopu fruit sharing he drew on the stone wall in the secret cave. (and his drawing skills have not improved a bit, haha)
Then we see Sora sneaking up behind Kairi and covering her eyes with his hands from behind.
Due to her eyes being covered, she stops reading but Sora finishes “I’ll aways be with you…”
She smiles, turns around and her smile becomes radiant when she sees it’s indeed Sora.
Then the camera turns behind the two of them with a wonderful view of the glittering golden sea behind them. The light gets more intense and for a moment we see Naminé and Roxas smiling at each other and Naminé sheds a tear that continues running down Kairi’s cheek. Sora, having watery eyes himself, wipes the tear off her cheek.
Finally we turn to a Disney fairy tale movie-like close up showing their faces getting closer, their eyes closing and finally, accompanied by Mrs. Shimomura’s subtlest yet most majestic tunes, the final Kiss of true love.
Fade and then the golden letters “The End” appear before the animated logo of Kingdom Hearts III materializes and the music fades out.
The battle report screen shows the usual record data and features a most beautiful artwork including all characters in the series, similar to the one in the KH2 Final Mix.
Hope you enjoy this theory and despite I fear KHIII won’t be as great because it’s been hyped and idolized for too long now, and DDD did a major part in downgrading its potential, I’ll get it just for the growing possibility of Sora and Kairi finally getting together!!
