We can hope but it's good to keep expectations low in these types of situations. Like Albert said, it's definitely a possibility, but we don't necessarily have any indications that it will be. I haven't personally kept up with other Square Enix titles all too much lately so hard to say on that front as well. A trailer would be nice and would keep the momentum going though. I still stand by that the reason we got those screenshots was to soften the blow about Missing-Link, I think without that we probably would have seen them at a later time.

I can finally leave twitter

Companies need to not do that anymore

You're right, there is no real way to tell if that character is Skuld or not. The girl Lea and Isa want to save could be her too, or, it could be the white robed person Luxu sent to the future, he is the one who broke her out of Radiant Garden as Braig. The Data-Copy of Strelitzia maybe? I can't wait to see for myself honestly 🤣

@FadedSparkle Yeah, I get it. You hate Kairi. You love to see Nomura bash her because you're pro-Nomura, pro-misogyny, pro-soriku, and anti-Kairi slop. It's people like you why Kairi became the most victimized character in Kingdom Hearts.

Ohhhhh Just did a very quick search and there's suggestions that Lodur could potentially be another identity of Loki

nope

Depending on when they plan to release KH4 actual proper multiplayer might be possible. If they intend to have it come out within the next two years I think at best we can expect the game to contain some points where we play as someone other than Sora, like we had with Riku and Aqua in base KH3. Should be better planned out and more chances for more than just a single instance per other character given they've already shown us they've started plotting out a playable segment for Mickey. I really hope we get playable Riku and that if we do, it's for more than just five minutes.

Square Enix's blog recently interviewed composer Yoko Shimomura after she won a BAFTA Fellowship, the highest honor an arts organization can grant. Throughout the interview, Shimomura answered questions about the award, how she came to compose video game music, and her involvement with specific titles, including the Kingdom Hearts series. You can view the relevant quoted portion of this Shimomura interview below. It delves into her impressions of Kingdom Hearts as a project and the creativity involved with both Disney Worlds and original world music. You can view the full interview on Square Enix's blog, which also contains comments about Live A Live and Final Fantasy XV. View full article

Sora & Riku. Since those 2 colors were on that 1 KH3 scene where they sent the gayblade out not that it can only be that. Just what it looks like to me.

I've pointed this out in the past, but after two year-long time skips since KH1, it's likely that Sora is at least 16 years old! As a result, he could learn to drive, which is terrifying. Imagine those clown shoes trying to hit the brakes.

YOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR THE SOUNDTRACK FOR KH4 LETS GO

That's possible too. I doubt they'll just throw away the story completely, especially as it promised to answer every unanswered question we had!

KH4 secret ending be like sora's gummi phone rings Sora: uh... hello? "Hello Sora... im calling from the IRS." AN OATH TO RETURN KINGDOM HEARTS

Gacha needs to die in my honest opinion

Woke up to the news and now I’m devastated. My day is ruined. I really, really hope they do this. 😭

Oh wooooow lol I mean again, I never really cared much BECAUSE it was a mobile game I care more for KH4 anyways I mean at the end of the day it's their fault for making it a mobile game anyways instead of a console game so Can't wait to go on Twitter and see everyone be sad over it/sarcasm

I'm excited for you to PLAY A REAL GAME.

You still don't get it, do you? Backpedling was the worst decision they made because it painted Kairi, yet again, as damsel-in-distress figure. What they should've done was male her actually win the fight against Xehanort, even if it's an illusion, to show her actual progression. Or at least have Riku actually take her with him to Quadratum, not straight-up shoving her to the side. Her defeat was the very definition of nerfing. Taking a break did nothing but add an insult to injury. AGAIN, VISUAL REPRESENTATION. They needed to give Kairi a victory in MoM to give her a successful start of the arc. Guess what, they didn't. And if you want to pull that "Kairi chose her own direction in MoM", don't even think about it. It was yet another catastrophic failure of writing. It's most likely KH team and Nomura just hate her, but anything goes. And if they genuinely thought this slow growth was going to work, it didn't. They don't understand why Kairi fans are frustrated. They don't want fancy writing. They want actions. To be frank, that should've happened in KH3. MoM was a definition of failure when it comes to Kairi development. Now we're way past two decades, it's too late What makes Kairi fans any hopeful when they know Kairi had this much records of being sabotaged and fumbled for 20+ years? Why should they be any helpful when they know the writing absolutely botched her character arc/development? I dare you to give me an answer that can actually give Kairi fans some hope. Trust me, you won't. P.S. you almost sound like another Kairi hater who deliberately want her to be weak and useless.

Did I sound like I was insulting Sakura? She's known for her damsel-in-distress trope and I was using her as an example of how Kairi could've broken away from it. What, you don't get the context? Why so butt-hurt with simply omitting facts about Sakura? "Survived characters like Kairi", What does that mean? Typo? "Backpedaled" - See there? This nerfing is why Kairi fans are tired. They're being stereotypical and judgmental when they see Kairi not succeeding again, sure. But do you really blame them after 20+ years of exhaustion? They want Kairi to have some progress. Re:Mind was perfect and it should've been integrated in MoM. But no, writing can't help but hate on her again. If you don't know how Kairi fans are really feeling, maybe try to think before you speak. "Tired of waiting" - Exactly. All Kairi fans are. They aren't waiting any longer. "Continue developing her" - It's no longer a development, it's an unnecessary drag-out.

Dude, comparing Sakura Haruno to Kairi is an insult to Sakura. Their development is significantly different in terms of handling even if Sakura still comes out at the other end nowhere near the same level of OP as Naruto and Sasuke. Also "This is a warning." - What are you five? Plenty of franchises have survived characters like Kairi. Especially when said characters aren't the protagonist (which she isn't, despite being the leading heroine, yes there is a difference). Your ramble about Mary Sues is hilarious. You're saying Kairi fans want Kairi to be a cliche OP Mary Sue going forward because you're tired of waiting for the culmination of her development. But they precisely backpedaled on how OP she was in Re:Mind to continue developing her character rather than stagnate it at the finish line of an OP Doesn't Need Anyone Else Girl Boss (which contrary to your diatribe has been proven again and again within media to be a hated thing not a loved thing).

During my first playthrough, when saw him bust out Ultima, I reacted like "IS HE FOR REAL??? HE ACTUALLY DID THAT???? DAMN!!!!" Like this mouse does not play fr

Given the fact I was 8 years old at the time of KH1's release, I'll type what I can remember from back then: - Being scared of Darkside 1 - Raging at Destiny Islands Riku - Scared again of Darkside 2, asking my older cousin for help - Getting lost in Traverse Town and whooped by Leon - Actually beating Guard Armor without help - Loving building gummi ships Don't remember much after that though

It’s actually completely fine as a stand alone thread. The ML general chat thread(as well as other general chat threads) only exist to allow folks to participate in the discord server’s discussions as a way to bridge communities on both server and site. These are much more casual and short form discussions and aren’t treated as traditional forum topics. On topic though - the communication or lack thereof surrounding the game is definitely concerning. I don’t know if scrapped is the way it’s going but would agree if/when it releases the playerbase may taper off relatively quickly, while there’s still interest in it seems like a lot are put off by the fact that it’s mobile and gacha. I do hope we see something of it eventually but am not holding my breath if not.

I want to know all the Foretellers backstory in the Kingdom Hearts Universe, but I choose Ava because I really want to know what happen after the events of X/Unchained/Union Cross.

Considering that people are keen on this theory, is it just me that I find another way to interpret it? While I prefer the MoM to be a new character, I don't really mind if he is somehow connected with Demyx in any shape or form. See, Demyx is a Nobody, but we don't know his real name or his original counterpart yet. Because what if Demyx's connection with the MoM is just as similar to Roxas being a Nobody to Sora but looks like somebody else like Ventus? Ventus made a connection with Sora's heart when he was just a little boy and created a Nobody through Roxas who somehow looks like Ventus. Sora became a Heartless but thanks to Kairi he managed to regain his original form. Creating a scenario where Sora and Roxas can both coexist as their own beings. What if the MoM similar to Sora, he made a connection to somebody else's heart (Edym) and later created a Nobody through Demyx? The MoM mentioned that he had friends and allies who participated in the Keyblade War when he was just a young boy who later lost their lives against the 13 Darknesses. What if one of them is Edym? The MoM's lost friend. Because the question now is what really happened to the Keyblade War that the MoM participated in? Other than losing his friends in the darkness. Reference of the post btw

You probably already know this, but it's worth mentioning that, similar to the Frozen scenario mentioned above, the Disney versions are still copyrighted, so you can't use characters or worlds created for each movie. You can feature Cinderella, but not Disney's version; you can include Sleeping Beauty, but you can't include its original characters like Maleficent, etc. A Not-Kingdom Hearts where you visit different fairy tales and other literary works is a neat idea! Although specifically using worlds that appeared in KH or Disney movies, even public domain ones, might give the impression it's a KH clone and nothing more or that it's intentionally trying to deceive buyers into believing it's an actual KH game, as opposed to being its own original thing. I'd recommend combining them with properties not used in KH or Disney movies. And whatever you do, do not name it anything relating to hearts, kingdoms, or keys. lol

That sounds good for me. I think this is a great idea. I am sure content creators and other people well versed in this kind of stuff will have a field day with this. I also find it really interesting to compare beta assets to release version assets to compare how much they have changed over time and stuff like that. I am sure this build will prove to be irreplaceable in the future!

Thanks for the reminder.

moana would be a perfect kh world. it's literally about the world being consumed by darkness. i will die on this hill

Doing the dirty work, I respect the hell out of it Illty

Missing Link is gonna be a failure nobody cares about this type of mobile game anymore

canceI ML

i swear SE need to stop with this mobile games. they’re bound to be lost. game will be closed for good

Same here. Do for it what The Last Wish did for Puss In Boots.

I'm definitely go with Brave. Not only it's one of my most favorite Pixar films, but I feel like they can tell more stories within that world of Brave because the first movie talks about myths and legends. I feel like Brave has more adventures to tell.

With Berserk being such a popular manga in Japan (though I've never read it) it's quite possible that some inspiration was taken from it, whether intentionally or not. In turn, I think the manga Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle took inspiration from Kingdom Hearts. Both are about a 14 year old boy from a sunny, sandy world whose childhood friend and love interest (that's also a princess) loses her heart when dark beings invade their world from another dimension, causing him to go on a journey across many other worlds with a magician and a royal guard whilst meeting characters from other stories, in an effort to save her. Also both boys are voiced in Japanese by Miyu Irino.

Wind Waker is beautiful. ;v;

Fi from Skyward Sword confirmed to be playable in Hyrule Warriors:
