So is there a livestream anywhere?

i dont know, i'd rather not have a star wars world, remember the awful aesthetics of pirates of the caribbean?

I don't know. I really liked the PoC as a world, but I don't think Star Wars 'fits' in the Kingdom Hearts Universe, like you mentioned. I don't think stormtroopers could be the enemies, because of their guns and therefore offering no variety in enemy attacks. They'd have to have heartless instead to replace the stormtroopers, which wouldn't add towards a Star Wars 'feel'.

Please kh13 record it in HD.

Hoping for: 

• Original Trilogy Star Wars world (or Worlds? How exactly world interplanetary travel work in conjunction with KH?)
• Toy Story World
• Frozen world
• Big Hero 6 world
• details on Riku, Kairi and all the other main characters
• confirmation on whether the drive form system is still a thing, if it's not, what replaces it?

What I'm hoping we don't get:

• Marvel world 
• Star Wars Prequel World
• Cars World
• a lack of new information (though knowing Square, this is probably the most likely)

Anything You guys are particularly looking forward to?

yeah, thats very true, unless they had stormtrooper heartless? which probably wouldnt work very well.

This is why I am not 100% on board with a Star Wars world. I don't want something that doesn't feel like the original source/doesn't feel like Star Wars. If they can make the world fit and give it what the franchise deserves then I wouldn't be as against it.

 

As for Frozen don't make it a singing world and I won't care.

Is anyone else hoping for a multiplayer game mode? Like, I wouldn't mind something like the Mirage Arena in KH:BBS, or KH 358/2 Days multiplayer style. Well, Bloodborne-like multiplayer would also be nice but I can't see how it's gonna work so I don't think that's gonna happen.

Guys, what time does the panel start?

Well, we just have to wait.

I wouldn't mind it, but I'm not fussed if it doesn't make it in. I never cared for the multiplayer in bbs or 358/2 days (but that might have to do with the fact that none of my friends played the portable KH games). 

From Churro's stream, I'm getting so many vgc feels!

Guys, what time does the panel start?

I think in around an hour, not long to go!

HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE

Guys, what time does the panel start?

 

In about a hour I think?

 

11am PDT?

In about a hour I think? 11am PDT?

Can confirm. 11AM PDT.

Prediction:After spending 59 minutes talking about Disney Infinity 3.0 and Star Wars Battlefront, Shinji Hashimoto comes on, asks us to please understand and be patient, and then abruptly leaves. :PSeriously though, cannot wait!

Getting ready to head in soon. 1 hour left to go!

3 minutes ago: Fans are about to enter Hall D23Me: HUPEEEEEEE

Can confirm. 11AM PDT.
