While I understand this POV, I think in the end, what we 'need' to know will be told to us in some other way.

Many fans are desperate for the beta files to be released as well, yet you seem unconcerned. The game was cancelled, a petition does nothing. If it is going to be released in some form, then it will be with or without such a position. The fact they cancelled it and made no reassurances despite this, indicates they could easily throw it away.

Your decision on this matter is, to be frank, nonsensical. Let's say they do release some movie compilation, or something of the sort. But wait, certain characters who were named in the files, weren't named in the movie, or wait, this world or keyblade that shows up, didn't show up in the movie? You can continue to justify not leaking things forever under your own terms, because "they might use it in the future" Except… things have already leaked. I can't say for certain that it was you who shared it in a Discord or Group Chat, but there is a group of people who are able to freely look at the datamined/beta content. So we have content creators with exclusive access, able to leak things as they please, or able to leak what their source is willing to give them. Do you not see the issue with this? Any trust when it comes to not leaking has already been betrayed, at this point, this is just gatekeeping, only to the benefit of content creators who have access in one way or the other. You're looking for a negative confirmation that the game and it's assets will not be used, but we already have that negative confirmation. The game was cancelled. They didn't say "While the game has been cancelled, we will be certain to implement this story in the future" Why would they not want to lessen the blow if they could? I believe you might have some presumption that this info will be released before or with KHIV, but then even if it isn't, no news = no further negative confirmation. You can justify delaying the release of the beta files forever. Your post comes off as wanting some explicit mention that these story elements will never ever be used, as if a company will go out and say that. In fact, they decided to release new images of KHIV, rather than any reassurances regarding the ML story content, which only enhances the idea that they're scrapping it. They easily could have reassured us at the same time they posted the KHIV screenshots, and they chose not to. Or rather, they felt it was unnecessary to elaborate, it was cancelled, and that's what they meant. ML was meant to be one of the bridges between mainline games, and now it's just gone. I feel my second point is the most important. We've already had leaks, and we have no reason to believe there won't be further ones. Instead of making it so YouTubers can clickbait for years to come. I'm aware that some content creators have claimed they will not share story spoilers, but presuming they're beheld to this, well, lets say when the news dries up, I doubt it. I believe the correct solution is just to release them. Warn people to mute or avoid KH places for like a week to a month, and then suddenly we'll barely see anything, because news cycles fast. I understand you only have good intentions, but I believe you have made the wrong decision, and I ask you to reconsider. Edit like 8 hours later: We already have someone leaking things, including OST and worlds (which was something of a sticking point). Out of respect I'll not link it here, but I feel there's very little reason to not just go ahead now.

It would be pretty cool, but highly unlikely.

As said before, he probably holds ot backwards because either that is how he is comfortable or that is how MX taught him. Or the crazy theory: He is Mulan's brother.

Thanks for the welcomes.

Finally some variety.

All of you have welcome in your posts. What kind of a welcoming thread is this?

I liked it pretty well. What I don't like is the stupid title of the tnread, but that is off topic.

Search. Not necessarily for this PARTICULAR forum, but it's okay.

Obviousness is obvious, but what's up?
