I feel like these are both things that can be touched upon in kh3; they don't really need their separate games at this point. I think it would have been in BBS volume II, but I also think BBS volume II itself was like a backup sidegame if they needed to do another one. Aqua's story, Mickey's Story, and Riku's story could all have connections to kh3, as kh3 will delve into the past as Sora saves those connected to him.

I venture into the wilderness for five days tomorrow on a camping trip...then college begins...so scared...lol.

O_O I want to go to this church.

I feel like YX would be more representative of all kingdom hearts heroes that would be chosen; I could see Riku, like cloud, being originally a pawn of chaos. Naturally, his opposite would be Ansem, but...Young Xehanort would just fit both Sora and Riku better. Ansem SoD would be just as cool. Having said that, I highly doubt Kingdom Hearts would make it to a Dissidia game, and I wonder if I'd even want them there. Even though Riku is basically a combination of Cecil and Cloud. And even though everything Onion night says reminds me of Sora, and he'd fit in perfectly with Bartz and Zidane...although, If I had to choose a character, I think I'd want Aqua in Dissidia...

Enough of these puns! I'm going on STRIKE! that was bad...

While I believe it was important to teh story, re:coded was my least favorite. Story mode was way to short, and honestly, collecting the trophies is just more effort and time wasted than its really worth. The gameplay was okay, but it could get old. I think the worst part was the Olympus Coliseum--doing all those layers over and over was murder. I think disney lost the rights to use Tarzan in anything, that's why it's never been mentioned in other games.

I think we should look forward to the future for more original music from Yoko; part of the rehashing of some of the music stems from the fact that the plot itself uses the same characters and connects to the past so much. I'm sure there will always be a certain style pertaining to Kingdom Hearts though. I personally have no complaints about any soundtrack so far, but I guess I can understand wanting a change. Perhaps more variety and letting other composers get more of the other themes might be nice. Be prepared for waves of hate from certain people...

Well, yes, an anti-villain is what she would be, but...I still don't like the idea of Aqua possibly fighting against Sora and co. I mean, it would be cool and interesting, but at the same time...Aqua no! D: lol excuse my fanboying. Although, in all honesty, Aqua would definately have a point. Darkness has never brought any good to anyone in the series so far. Sure, Riku's learned to channel it, but before that his yearning for more out of life led him to destroying his home world and getting possessed. I'm curious about what characters would actually fight Aqua and protect the darkness, as the heroes don't really seem keen on preserving a balance but more or less accept that its there, and who would side with her. Riku would be a twist. And who knows? Maybe starting a new journey won't be so hard Maybe they start a whole other war over this. Maybe they go to Xehanort-lengths in order to eliminate darkness. Maybe Kingdom Hearts is the key. ...I kind of want this to happen now lol. But although at first Aqua sticks by what Master Eraqus says, it seems like she slowly weans away from his teachings and follows her heart more. I don't know if she's reached "accept the darkness" levels, but we'll see. She didn't seem too negatively affected in blank points despite her long time in the darkness, but who knows how that will change once she gets a taste of the light again. I get the odd feeling that Sora will never be done losing his memories...lol. Maybe he ends up losing them sacrificing himself for Roxas and Xion to live?

Not to mention he never ages past 10. lol. If I had to pick someone...I'd want to be Terra from FFVI. Not sure why, since I'm a guy. But that's my current obsession of the week.

That's true. While Nomura has taken liberties with adding things to other worlds, going beyond the ending would be pushing it...I don't think I'd like it either and it is funny how they never gave him a name...perhaps it will be like in KH1, Belle just ends up kidnapped off screen or something like that. I actually plan on some plot device to turn him back into a beast in my fanfic when belle is kidnapped..."without Belle's heart of pure light, what are you? You're heart hasn't changed. You're still just a beast." Then Belle comes back and cue the sappy beautiful canon ending ot Beauty and the Beast^^ with Gaston. Yeah, they could pull that off!

I could maybe see that. After being stuck in the realm of darkness so long, she'd probably hate it completely. I can definately seeing her at least butting heads with Riku over using the darkness. But I don't want Aqua to be a villain! T-T she's too nice! So she almost slayed the tremaine family, but still! But there could be some interesting plots there.

Meh, I feel like that wouldn't happen. Sora's never really thought of things in terms of light and darkness, which is one of the unique things about him. He's only ever fought with his heart, trying to protect his friends and the worlds. He seems to inherently (can't spell) understand that you can't defeat darkness with light, and seems to accept alongside Riku that darkness will always exist in the world. It would be an interesting plot device...but I doubt things would ever go that road. If someone were to die...maybe it would be Lea? IDK just seems random. We haven't had any real deaths so far, so its hard to imagine such a thing happening. And I'm not sure about anyone falling to darkness like TAV did...it just doesn't seem like something to happen in kh3, when Xehanort's going down and everyone's being saved. Perhaps Sora makes some great sacrifice for his friends? And he wakes up somehwere with no memory of what happened, thus starting off at level 1...lol.

So, I was just thinking: in coded, the data Sora opens a keyhole into Riku's heart (dives), defeats all of the bugs (nightmares), and in the end has to battle a bugged version of Riku. This is almost the exact inverse of what Riku does for Sora in DDD...did they mean for this to happen? Do you think its bad they're just rehashing the same basic plotlines? Discuss my children. Coded has meaning.

Maybe with time travel...haha. Or they could do an afterwards type thing--just because the original story ends there doesn't mean Kingdom Hearts necessarily has to. Also consider that Belle is a princess of heart, and those are definately going to be part of the plot next game.

Final Fantasy VI is my new obsession, and Kefka my new favorite villain^^

Yeah, once you get to enemies on a spot in the map, you keep the keyblade, even if you lose your fighting stance

People thought they were useless long before that. And they're just weaker in general in the Kingdom Hearts universe, not just as party members but as characters, too. Even Yen Sid says so; they can't really stand up to keyblade wielders well. I think if they trained and became more powerful--ie Yen Sid could teach Donald some master spells to put him at the level of final fantasy mages, and if goofy learned new moves--it would be better. Although, come to think of it, with their limits in kh2, they weren't too bad...and they usually performed their functions pretty well...but even from Kingdom Hearts 1, it was apparent that Sora was the strongest of the group.

Yeah, Donald butting heads with Sora was always fun. And goofy always manages to say something wise and keep everyone focused on the plot. Particularly in coded. Goofy was the only one who had the important things in mind. They're kind of weak as party members, though, and with so many keyblade wielders popping up, its hard to say whether or not they'll be party members in kh3. Maybe if they got a bit of an upgrade...

No, I think he meant that Roxas could have survived and been a real person on his own, but it was Sora that had to wake up in the end.

Hm, i have to find it, but I think Nomura said something about it taking too long if they went ahead to the next generation console. Playstation 3 would be perfectly fine. I can't believe a playstation 4 could be here anytime soon already...

OMG glitch! Or...Xehanort time traveling? O_O lol probably a glitch. Or maybe that explains why Kairi was just staring off at the end of BBS...

Agreed, secret ending wasn't really on par with the others, but like I've said before, the regular ending was enough of a mind fudge. After everything that happened, between the organization XIII and Lea's keyblade and Nobodies have hearts now and OMFG, there was really nothing else that could possibly top that at all. Funnily enough, the secret ending was the only thing in the whole game that could possibly have been predictable. We really needed something simple coming our way, not a brand new character to screw our minds up even more. Not to mention things are already perfectly set up for the next game, we've been heading towards this game for years. kh3d itself is a secret ending! A secret ending to all the sidegams thus far! lol the past is going to come together here in Kingdom Hearts, so there's nothing else really left to add but to bring up this little plot hole that's been hinted at for a while now.

I think he had good villain potential...I'm surprised they never used him...maybe in the future? Though I doubt it, since he's all human now. Well, the plot went along fine without him I suppose... Gaston and Aqua in a scene together would have been hilarious. In fact, that may be why he's not in kh2...lol

Past final fantasy characaters don't appear in new final fantasy games unless they're direct sequals; its a new cast for each new number. I hear people complain a lot that Kingdom Hearts has more disney than final fantasy...when in reality, most of its original, as most new final fantasy games are. The characters are just there for cameos and they're usually altered to fit the universe and to be less powerful than pretty much all keyblade wielders. And they made Yuna and co. a bunch of fairies but they did that specifically to make them just cameos without hogging the attention. If they were there for real...well, it would just distract from the game. I doubt there will be many worlds based on final fantasy with final fantasy characters as teammates, but we'll see. I have mixed feelings about that. And its almost a given that no Final Fantasy character will have a keyblade--Mickey only has one because he's the most iconic of the Disney characters and is part of the main story. I don't see any final fantasy characters really being part of the main story like that rather than having brand new characters. Cloud is enough like Riku. We don't need Cecil in the mix lol. Nomura probably wouldn't use characters from older final fantasy games, he only likes using his own characters (which I love, but you get to the point where they all start to seem like the same person) And maybe Lightning will appear, but with a keyblade in hand? Yeah right. (I'm curious what Cloud's all emo about, since Aerith is actually alive...)

Okay, seriously: movie maker on my new windows 7 computer makes absolutely no sense at all.
