Imagination in Progress

KH1/FM = Arguably the most difficult. Intriguing story. Fairly poor... Or I suppose I should just say early-2000's graphics. Re:CoM/CoM = Most annoying game play. Uninteresting Disney levels. Subtitled cutscenes, except for those in Castle Oblivion. Exciting story, introducing us to "the Organization". KH2/FM+ = Less difficult than KH1. Arguably the most interesting story. Great graphics. More straight-forward game play. Days = Fairly interesting "behind-the-scenes' insight of Roxas' life within the Organization. Great new character in Xion. Very short speaking cutscenes, all else were subtitled. Poor graphics, aside from those few speaking cutscenes. Meh game play. BbS = Interesting, yet arguably more difficult new game play. Nice prequel-type story. Great new characters. Links events of the past and present together well. Impressive graphics. Quality cutscenes. Re:coded/Coded = Fairly unnecessary story. Unimaginative game play. Fairly poor graphics, other than the incredibly short cutscenes. DDD = Fine continuation of KH2. Links people and events together from throughout the series, much like BbS. Includes its fair share of surprises. Interesting new and old villains. Great graphics. Cool cutscenes. Large maps, but not too much to do other than go from A to B. And the winner of least likable game in the series is... Re:coded/Coded!

Nomura's a creative genius... But, a troll nonetheless. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png

CoM: Hmm... Cunning. Intelligent. And frightened when Riku comes charging at you with his Keyblade. Oh, and lol Lexaeus tells Vexen to shut up, just so Zexion can continue speaking. Days: And off he goes... To Castle Oblivion... So innocent... So unsuspecting. KH2FM: Oh hey, it's Zexion. And Vexen. And Xigbar. And dialogue that I don't understand. BbS: Um, what? I mean, Lea and Isa had grown an understandable amount while in the Organization, but Ienzo looks like a newborn, compared to his Nobody. Oh, look... Vexen isn't just a mad (and creepy) scientist; he's actually looking after Ienzo. 3D: Yay! Everyone's been revived... Except Xigbar and Saix... Hmm. Wait, Ienzo isn't angry at Lea for allowing Riku Replica to kill him? Well, I guess he's relieved that he's finally a Somebody again.

The film looks interesting. However, 'Maleficent' is apparently bringing forth a time when Disney will produce live-action counterparts to most (if not all) of their animated classics... Maleficent is due for release in 2014, but following the Sleeping Beauty take, a Cinderella live-action remake has also been confirmed (not 'A Cinderella Story'-type movie either - an actual remake to the 1950 classic). A live-action Pinocchio film is also in the works (hopefully Disney will not look to the 2002 disaster for inspiration). I'm all for bringing classic films to new generations, through live-action adaptations and remakes, but I'm hoping that this is not a permanent state of mind for Disney: Only produce films that fall into one of four categories: Live-action remake of an animated classic Remake of a timeless live-action film Sequel to an already successful franchise Based on a theme park ride

I feel as though I have posted this same list elsewhere, but here it goes: http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png Robin Hood Party Member: Robin Hood Boss/Villain: The Sheriff of Nottingham (Since Prince John and Sir Hiss do not officially fight in the film, I'd rather not fight either one of them in-game) The Black Cauldron Party Member: Taran Boss/Villain: The Horned King The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (Even though its predecessor was featured in Kingdom Hearts II, I feel 'Pride Land' could go another round, but with its sequel's fresh faces) Party Member: Kovu Boss/Villain: Zira The Sword in the Stone Party Member: Arthur Boss/Villain: Madam Mim The Emperor's New Groove Party Member: Kuzco Boss/Villain: Yzma The Princess and the Frog Party Member: N/A (Seeing as the two main protagonists are frogs for most of the film.) Boss/Villain: Dr. Facilier A Bug's Life Party Member: Flik Boss/Villain: Hopper The Great Mouse Detective Party Member: Basil Boss/Villain: Professor Ratigan Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Party Member: Prince Dastan Boss/Villain: Nizam The Jungle Book Party Member: N/A (I cannot see Mowgli, Baloo or Bagheera as appropriate party members.) Boss/Villain: Shere Kahn and Kaa Pocahontas Party Member: John Smith Boss/Villain: Governor Ratcliffe WALL-E Party Member: N/A (Like The Jungle Book, I cannot see any of the film's main protagonists as party members.) Boss/Villain: Auto (or what I like to call "HAL9000 Version 2") Tangled Party Member: Rapunzel (In desperate need of a female party member, I would choose Rapunzel over Flynn. Plus, she sure knows how to use that frying pan!) Boss/Villain: Mother Gothel and the Stabbington Brothers Treasure Planet Party Member: Jim Hawkins Boss/Villain: Scroop (John Silver would not be the level's primary villain, since he is not portrayed such as that in the film.) The Incredibles Party Member: Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Dash and Violet (Given the technology to do so is available, I would like to switch between these four party members.) Boss/Villain: Syndrome Atlantis: The Lost Empire Party Member: Kida Boss/Villain: Commander Rourke and Lieutenant Sinclair Monsters, Inc. Party Member: Sulley Boss/Villain: Randall and Henry J. Waternoose III Toy Story 3 Party Member: Woody and Buzz Lightyear (Like The Incredibles, I would like to switch party members between these two depending on where the player is on the level.)

Whew! Go Jeff Daniels; telling it like it is!

Hey man, welcome! Didn't know this forum reached Traverse Town... And a sleeping one at that.

It was definitely more the latter.

To me, Haley Joel Osment tried a little too hard to sound younger for KH3D. He didn't try nearly as hard when voicing Sora in Re:CoM. I understand that 3D was released five years after Re:CoM, but by 2007, Osment had a deep enough voice for many fans to joke about Sora going through puberty at such an alarming rate (immediately following KH1). But, still... I imagine this is why some are not sure whether another voice actor was cast in Osment's place for 3D.

I can't remember where I read it... In fact, I might've just dreamt it. Sorry for the confusion. :wacko:

A year after the events of Kingdom Hearts II, Sora (sitting on the Paopu tree) and Riku are seen on the small island, talking about the 'Door to Light', when Kairi runs up to them with a letter from King Mickey. That letter clued Sora in on the events that had occurred during Kingdom Hearts: coded, concerning Data-Sora and the mysterious journal entry: "Their hurting will be ended when you return to mend it." However, my question is: What did Sora and Riku do during that year on Destiny Islands? Did they make an attempt to live a normal life again? Did they revisit their friends: Selphie, Tidus and Wakka? Did they attend school? Did Sora even bother to acknowledge his parents?

That is the best possible guess at Marluxia's somebody's name... That, 'Lamuria' and 'Lumaria'. Lol The latter ends in 'Maria', and originally Marluxia was intended to be female.

How can it be 'Rudolf' when his name is 'Luxord'?... Not 'Luxford'. :huh: But, yes, out of all the other remaining members, I would like to see Luxord return the most.

We have discovered the real reason why Terra will be saved last in KH3... Because if he was saved any sooner, the seven lights would fail miserably against the thirteen seekers of darkness. Poor Terra would end up doing something that would put his entire team in jeopardy. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-confuse.png

So... it's not Vivi? :blink:

^ The number of times Riku says the word "smell" in Chain of Memories.

1. While, Yen Sid was aware that Riku was traveling through Sora's dreams of the Sleeping Worlds, he did not know that the 'True Organization XIII' was plotting to steer Sora off course. He did not realize that the many incarnations of Xehanort could possibly interfere during the exam. (Also keep in mind: Yen Sid was equally surprised when Lea summoned his Keyblade for the first time.) 2. Mickey and Yen Sid are seen conversing in 'Signs of What's Next', so Mickey could have quite easily mentioned that Kairi is able to wield the Keyblade, seeing as Riku had summoned one for her to wield in The World That Never Was in KH2. 3. Yen Sid had Sora and Riku undergo the Mark of Mastery as their younger selves, because they are self-taught Keyblade wielders (unlike Aqua, Terra and Ven). Therefore, he chose to have them both take the exam with their respective physical appearance of when they first gained the ability to wield the Keyblade in KH1.

"It stands to reason, the more we ignore Monstro, the easier it will be to heal those painful memories" - Yen Sid

Well, that's great and all, but in my comment above I said "least favorite world"

What is your least favorite world in the Kingdom Hearts series? We've all got one. You know, that one world where you dread landing the Gummi Ship (or in KH3D, 'Dropping') in? It may be due to the in-game mechanics of that world, or simply due to the fact that you are not a fan of the characters/story of a certain world. My least favorite world in the Kingdom Hearts series is Agrabah in KH1 (It's a much more exciting world in KH2).

The Realm of Darkness is a relatively vast plain, and for the short while that Sora and Riku were seen resting on the shore, Aqua could have very well been somewhere else. Later, after the events of 'Re:coded', Aqua finds herself at that same shore, and meets Ansem the Wise. Sora, Riku and Aqua were in the Realm of Darkness at the same time (even if only for a short period of time), but could have been miles apart. We are given a clue of how large the Realm of Darkness is in 'A Fragmentary Passage', but still can't be certain.

Kingdom Hearts II outfit, Valor Form or Wisdom Form

I wouldn't say "dead"... I would say in a comatose state. With her heart stolen, Aurora would have been unable to wake up, even if Phillip had arrived with "true love's kiss".

I believe only Riku had gained the ability to dive into another's sleep and wake them. However, I imagine Sora will also be gaining this ability, when the time comes for him to rescue Ven (KH3).
