Going to agree that KH3 will be later than 2012. Since another game is being created, that should come out around 2012/13. Expect announcement of this game at E3 this year (along with BBS date)

I know, that's because KH was originally going to be a tribute to Mickey Mouse, but became a hit that it spawned its own universe.

Hidden Mickey's are reserved for the Theme Park. But you do have a good point. Why are they Mickey heads for the Key chains?

Still, do you know how many takes are given to get one sound bite. Now multiply that by the number of lines of dialogue per character. That comes out to roughly over 10,000 takes of dialogue (used and unused). Do you know how long that takes. Plus added content makes for this release even sweeter. Be patient and just dream about that extra content if you can't wait till August.

there is a 10 year gap between bbs and kh1. I think it will be about Xehanort and Ansem the Wise and about the research data. Everything seems to revolve around the "Heart of All Worlds" and ATW said he hid his research data inside of Sora. What was he working on and what was Xehanort's intentions in becoming his apprentice.

in a way yes. because both both halves need to become one again, so basically the X-blade can never be made again. "Within Xehanort Report, he stated that the X-Blade could be created when a heart of pure light and a heart of pure darkness intersected, both of their powers being equal. With the creation of the X-Blade, Kingdom Hearts, being the heart of all worlds, would form and one would be able to use the X-Blade to open Kingdom Hearts." This is why the keyblade alone cannot seal the door to kingdom hearts. In kh1, both Sora and Mickey used their respective keyblades to seal Kingdom Hearts. In kh2, they used it to open Kingdom Hearts to go fight Xemnas. Once Xemnas was defeated, so was Kingdom Heats.

X-blade was created to open Kingdom Hearts because it was made of pure light and pure darkness. When it was destroyed it created Kingdom Key (Sora, keyblade of light) and Kingdom Key D (Mickey, keyblade of darkness).

there is no set date for NA release, but sometime between June and August. I would venture a guess that it is probably more towards August because of the voice overs and Nomura said that there would be more scenes in the NA release, so this could take some time to work out and finalize everything.

don't change something for the sake of changing it. i prefer it the way it is.

they will make another kh game before they work on kh3. the lead character in this game is someone who plays a big role in the picture as a whole (maybe play as xehanort) and will not be centered around sora. Sora will have his game in kh3, so looks like we get to play as someone else before getting back to sora.

Without Disney, KH would not exist. The game was originally designed as a tribute to Mickey Mouse (Sora's red clothing, disney worlds, donald and goofy following his every move) but it instead spawned its own universe and the game we know/love/obsess/dream. Final Fantasy characters were added to give it a touch of Square because (lets face it) Square has the greatest graphics and an in-depth universe that brought back favorite characters into a new game with updated graphics.

try kh wiki.

He still referred to Sora as Roxas. It sets it up for the end of the next battle with Siax and Riku explaining that Roxas is his Nobody

He went to Port Royal. You fought the Heartless not Luxord.

Luxord was the Gambler of Fate. He was in hiding the entire time, so you couldn't fight him untill you went into his domain.

Its not Love. Nobodies don't have any feelings. Roxas can't feel love and Xion doesn't have a heart. There is no love there. SORRY!

What if that sister was actually Kairi! Make that romance of theirs seem a bit awkward when Sora finds out. lol.

"Ummm. Where do i go?"

It will be a new character. I'm gonna bet its somebody behind the Keyblade and going to explain a lot about the purpose of them, reason behind keychains, Kingdom Hearts, and who the keyblade chooses and why.

I would create perfect darkness. Someone who would embody the soul of absolute darkness. They would be 6.5ft. and have long white hair (similar to Xehanort's heartless) with simple yet menacing clothing (Vanitas suit, but not so one dimensional) and be well built (Hercules status). The weapon would be darkness itself (How Riku uses dark powers) and they could not be destroyed. Because they embody absolute darkness, it would be impossible to destroy because you can never get rid of the darkness no matter how much light there is. Without Darkness there is no Light, and with out Light there is no Darkness. This would be the final boss of the entire series, but you wont defeat it. This may sound insane, but i bet this is how it will all end. A final showdown between Sora (light) and this being (darkness) where neither win, but all is restored because they are tired of fighting with each other.

Don't pay any attention to him. He was last on 2years ago.

Here is a summary of Xehanort's report from BBS: Report 1, been a long time since Xehanort left his hometown (Destiny Islands, hinted at Report 10) and traveled to various worlds. He destiny was changed when he met his Master and the other apprentice Eraqus, at Land Of Departure which became his 2nd home. During his training, he often wonders about the Keyblade and its real purpose beyond the fact it's used to protect the world from darkness. Out of curiosity, he would often sneak out to other worlds for more knowledge Report 2, it is told that when traveling around worlds, you need the armor in order to protect yourself from the darkness around. Xehanort decided not, he thinks that if he can control darkness then darkness would no longer be a threat Report 3, in ancient times, the world werent separated nor protected by light walls. In those time, the world was filled with Light, there are many Keyblade Wielders around, but then people started fighting for Light. Keyblade was originally used to summon Kingdom Hearts, the wielders all wanted to obtain that heart of light, the War was then started. Kingdom Hearts is the unification of hearts, like human and their heart, the world itself has its own heart. In each world, there is a door to that world's heart, if you gather the hearts of all world, you can then complete Kingdom Hearts Report 4, opening Kingdom Hearts is like creating a new world, this is all beyond human. In short, whoever opens Kingdom Hearts is no longer a Human. All sorts of people fought for the Kingdom Hearts, even unrelated worlds got involved and in the world, the worlds were covered in darkness. The remaining lights from hearts created the present world and to prevent another war, the worlds are all covered by light walls Report 5, us wielders' duty is to watch over and protect the world, but then, there are little of us left. Besides the world of light, there is also the world of darkness and the layer between the two. The world of darkness is forbidden and it is said that no one has made it out once they are in there Report 6, there are three types of keyblade, keyblade of the world of light, of the world of darkness, and of one's heart. The keyblade of one's heart is a by product of the war, without it, you cant reach Kingdom Hearts. If to collect 7 hearts of pure light, you can complete the Keyblade of One's Heart, to open Kingdom Hearts. if one could open Kingdom Hearts, it means one can obtain all worlds and people in their hands Report 7, biggest mystery of Keyblade that is beyond those 3 types, the X(read: Chi) Blade. while The Keyblade corresponds with the Kingdom Hearts, it is a product of human. X Blade, however, co-exists with Kingdom hearts. X Blade is the crossover of a heart of Pure light and a heart of pure darkness. When that happens, Kingdom Hearts will appear. This is not man-gathered Kingdom hearts, it is the Kingdom Hearts with all the hearts of the worlds gathered. This was the cause of the war. Even though the worlds now are all separated, if you can obtain the X Blade, you can gather the hearts of the worlds together to complete Kingdom Hearts, to bring forth the war again Report 8, Eraqus thinks Light is absolute but Xehanort thinks light and darkness should be at a balance, to maintain the balance of the world. The world now is losing its balance due to the rejections of darkness. Once the light breaks, the darkness will come forth, then the world will need to be reconstructed. Due to the obvious differrenece in opinions, Xehanort and Eraqus had a quarrel and Xehanort departed, drifting to other worlds, his new freedom since he departed from home when he was young. Already being a keyblade master, Xehanort thought of his duty, a successor. However, Xehanort doesnt seem to want to end his life at there, he still has things he wants to see and confirm, but his body is aging as he notices Report 9, a Keyblade Master has a special ability, it is to extract self's heart or other's heart. Repeat the process and one can live on forever. When Xehanort was young, he dreamt the world's boundary, a world no one has been to, a world no one has seem. If he were to open Kingdom Hearts and create the new world, then a world with equal light and dakrness can be completed. After gathering enough knowledge, Xehanort got a new goal but first up, a new vessel/body. It was then, Xehanort met with Ventus and took him in as his apprentice. It was destiny, Ventus has the potential but at the same time, he is too gentle. Hence, Ventus can not be his new vessel but Xehanort plans to use him for his other goal (ie, X Blade). Xehanort divided Ventus' heart into two, it was then a Pure Heart of Light and a Pure Heart of Darkness were completed Report 10, as expected, Ventus couldnt take the separation of his heart, Vanitas was successeful born, but Ventus went into sleep. Heart of Pure Light, Ventus, Heart of Pure Darkness, Vanitas, combine the two hearts and the X Blade will be completed. However, Vanitas' Heart is way too strong and Ventus has nearly no light left when his heart broke into two. Xehanort wanted to take him to a peaceful place to sleep, the place that's Xehanort's hometown. Without noticing, Xehanort already at the beach, the same beach where he decided to departs. Ventus can rest here but then, he pulls out a Keyblade, looks like the heart of light is still not diminished Just watch the beginning of the game, you will get why.

Gonna take a guess there will be more boys than girls simply based on it being a videogame, but i could be wrong (hope i am). I'm A Man

Look at the shoes. The rounded feet clearly show that it is Riku with Sora. Kairi's shoes are square. I Am Correct

Thats also in the Opening of BBS and it is most likely Riku sitting next to Sora because Kairi is not on the island as of yet.
