Dragon Ball Super new Dragon Ball TV series
Well the whole concept of fusion is about necessity, if goku could have his way, he probably would have wanted to train trunks and goten individually and boost their base form rather than train them how to fuse for a limited time, but goku didn't have the time since he couldn't use the hyperbolic time chamber anymore so it was necessary to teach the boys fusion. Same with vegito, neither goku nor vegeta wanted to fuse, but it was necessary in order to Atleast counter super buu, so there is no reason why they wouldn't find it necessary later in DBS especially if they go up against a GoD that's stronger than whis, which very well might happen.And trunks, if his adult version is actually based of his DBZ child persona is already on the fast track to being future trunks, he is already cocky like his dad, but hopefully when he grows up he will not have daddy issues like FT did and with age he will also be mellow with his cockiness like FT was, that's essentially what I want, a badass trunks that doesn't sucker up to daddy. Toriyama already took away the concept of a badass gohan from me, he can Atleast leave me trunks.

Dragon Ball Super new Dragon Ball TV series
So no god fusion in the next movie? Fine, but SSJG Vegito better have 3 episodes dedicated to him in the next series. And trunks better resemble his cell adult form rather than that crappy GT pansy, I know that kid trunks grew up in an android free world, but damn Atleast retain half of your adult versions badassness. I hope that beerus and whis become main cast members, those guys suit DBZ so well.

No campaign for Star Wars Battlefront :(
Ha, the moment they decided to go first person I knew this game was going to be garbage, but now it's essentially done. It sucks that this game is going to get the call of duty treatment and completely suck yet everyone's going to buy it and the company will think they hit good and start pumping it out. Are there even going to be hero classes?

Sora sound files are found in Smash Bros for 3DS update, says Cutting room edge.
hardware limitations? But the 3ds, especially newer ones have more powerful assets than the GameCube, and SSB4 has as many features as SSBM, if not slightly a bit more. And the game is only 2 gigs so it's not like its pushing the envelope with data management when 3ds cards can store 8. I feel like that was just a cop out to omit stuff without being at fault, which we can never truly know for sure, but it just doesn't sound right, butbim not a coding wiz, so maybe there is something that prevented it that only a coder would know.

Some anime I think should have a second season
what...but the original ending was perfect, and how do you surpass becoming a mechanical God, I mean, without Simon, it would just be pointless, do you really want to watch Darry and Gimmy for a whole season?

Sora sound files are found in Smash Bros for 3DS update, says Cutting room edge.
Meh, honestly Id vote for Neku, first game on Nintendo system, and has a crap ton of viable moves to use, and that's if we don't go pokemon trainer and allow him to team up with all three of his partners, imagine, a pokemon trainer/Iceclimbers hybrid,... Oh and that final smash, you already know it.

Chrono Cross players, gather around!
It did destroy most of the good endings, but it did solve a lot of unsolved mysteries of the first game, it also did that rare thing that sequels do where it discusses the consequences of the original games adventures, overall, I loved it, though honestly, it would have been better off not being tied to the "chrono" series and should have been its own thing.

Terra is wonderful don't you diss him capisce?
It's not even about fan theory, it's called critical thinking skills. Aqua literally refers to darkness as nothing but hatred and rage, Terra is afraid of the darkness because of that philosophy, now who has been training these guys for atleast 4 years? Eraqus sees darkness as nothing but pure evil as he has explicitly stated, so it's safe to say that eraqus implanted these notions of darkness=evil in Terra and Aqua atleast, but better yet, let's look at another explicit explanation of darkness which was seen in a game prior to BBS conception, KH2 where all three keyblade wielders sora,Riku, and Mickey give their insight into darkness, they aren't afraid of the darkness itself and that it has its place in the world, it's just that people who use it for the wrong purposes should be dealt with. That's two different ideas in regards to darkness expliclty spoken in game. What's the main difference between these two groups, one was able to discover answers for themselves and the other had preconceived notions that blinded them from other possibilities. And you're asking for explict yet you're saying that Aqua was going to kill cinderella's step family because she felt darkness and brandished her keyblade? You don't know what she would have done, you can say that she was planning on killing them, but based on your logic she has to either be shown in the act of doing so or explicitly state that she will in order for it to count., besides if she can be convinced not to with words from a stranger, then she can't be too strict on the idea.Also, name a human who has never rationilzed their failures by placing blame on something or someone else, Terra's reactions were pretty close to the real deal, sadness over loss, rationalizing his failure, then getting angry at the person he believes is at fault. Heck, I can name 5 reactions like that that has happened in the past yearIt's a difference of opinion on Riku, I personally enjoyed him overcoming his past mistakes, and especially loved his flourish into becoming a true champion of the light from the darkness in 3D, probably the one redeeming aspect of 3D's story.You're argueing that Axel's personality doesn't match up between games, but let's look at it this way, in CoM, couldn't trust anybody, and had some dark agenda, in KH2, Couldn't trust anybody, had a dark agenda, in days, he had friends that he wanted to be with. Did you want him to be a cynical as swipe like he was to sora in CoM and KH2 while talking to Roxas, that wouldn't be very friendly in my opinion.

Terra is wonderful don't you diss him capisce?
that's a pretty strong accusation stating that aqua's hitler, you're failing to see why the entire BBS trio are flawed, they had a crappy mentor/ a manipulative one, if you were taught to think one way since the beginning of your life you would find it hard to think another way, just look at children who are raised by racist, it's going to be hard to deprogram them NOT to think that way. That's just another way we can draw parallels from TVA and SKR, TVA had answers about stuff planted in them, while SKR was free to discover their own answers to the world around them, and we can see which philosophy of learning yields better results. And Terra did witness a man that he trusted pretty much say "I used you, killed your father, and now I'm going to kill your friends" how would he not get angry from that, before it was just fending off the darkness in his heart that was his problem, but these events actually fed that darkness and turned it to pure rage.And yes, Riku has been going through his redemption for five games now, it's called regret, you don't just forget and forgive past mistakes, that crap becomes your baggage, he would be an even worst character if he did just sweep it under the rug, besides it did have a nice payoff in 3D, now he can just focus on doing the right thing in KH3 without anymore baggage keeping him down.How has axel declined to a bland friendship guy, he has received character development throughout the series, he started off, Atleast in 2, as a guy who would stoop to doing evil things for the sake of his friends, but now he is doing the same thing, except he is reaching out to others for help in helping him save his friends, he is still the same person he has always been, he is just more open about what he wants and isn't a "ends justify the means" guy anymore. Though I will agree about the keyblade bit.

Terra is wonderful don't you diss him capisce?
well, lets be fair here, both of those characters were written to fail through naive actions, and we only had one game with them,... A game where we were supposed to see how they fall, we dont get a redemption story like we do with riku or axel, who recieved one within the same game they are presented. Honestly though, terra and aqua are like man/woman children, most likely never left LoD until the events of BBS until they were in their 20's and they still try to listen to what daddy says without thinking for themselves...this is why every japanese video game protagonist needs to follow the golden rule when it comes to adventuring, leave home before the age of 17, you leave after, you're fodder. Ven got the better end of the deal, he pretty much just got to sleep for ten years.

Aerith's Fate in KH
There aren't really any FF subplots per se, just preestablished relationships based off the games where they originate,so no, I don't think that sephy will be doing any killing in KH3, if he did, it would be a pseudo death and aerith will come back towards the end or something.

DragonBall Z: Resurrection "F" (Official Discussion)
If vegeta was half the man he was during the saiyan sagaor frieza saga, he absolutely would not sacrifice himself for his family, he'll he would probably fly away and leave them to straight up die if that was the only way he would survive; you're also bringing up the word pure, the ONLY characters who even come close to being pure are members of goku's immediate family and Uub, that's not the proper context when describing any of the z warriors other than the ones I just listed, to be righteous means to make morally justifiable actions, yes, vegeta did plenty of fed up stuff in the earlier sagas, but you have to look at the buu saga as a way of condensing all of those actions into one personified moment, that moment being the creation of Majin vegeta. After his sacrifice it's not hard to say that was a proverbial wiping of the slate, it doesn't excuse those previous actions indefinitely, but it is definitely a step in the right direction of vegeta being shown as a genuinely good person.I honestly don't see how you are argueing the words of Shenron though, the being who surprises even the supreme kais in terms of ability, if he says you need a righteous heart and the SSJG form was a success than end of story, all those involved had a righteous heart. Vegeta doesn't have to say crap to prove that he has one, he threw away his pride the ultimate facet of his entire character just to protect his wife, son, the entire planet, and again, he knows full well that beerus would destroy him in a fight yet he goes in any way even if there was a slim chance of saving everyone.Thered not enough evidence to show that he is good? Have you watched the show? He has shown time and time again that he not the sadistic asshole that he was in the saiyan/frieza sagas, he is pride incarnate, but that DOES NOT make him evil, if you thought you could make the game winning shot and you failed, does that make you a bad player, no, he genuinely thought he could crush cell at his perfect form, it doesn't excuse the fact that he risked the world,but there was no evil intent behind those actions, just, "I want to fight you at Youre strongest" which even goku did with frieza...does that make goku evil? Vegeta pulls a fricking 180 on us during the buu saga, shows that he is willing to fight for his family, sacrifices himself so that they can live, even begs the world to help goku with spirit bomb, how has he not proven that he isn't "evil" . I mean, come on, look at piccolo, a being who is literally meant to be evil incarnate, yet he does every single thing that vegeta has also done later, teams up with goku against a common threat, they actually become allies, mingles with the members of the cast, shows affection for a child and ultimately sacrifices himself for said child and comes back a better person, two very similar character arcs, yet vegeta is the one who needs to expliclty state that he is good now?, yes kami commented on piccolo becoming good, but that shouldn't matter, I mean, Shenron, a being who surpasses kami says something about a character's alignment and the notion gets rejected, so maybe piccolo is still just an evil demon spawn.

DragonBall Z: Resurrection "F" (Official Discussion)
no, you're pretty much right in this debate, vegeta has become a good person, we didn't see that true evolution of character UNTIL the buu saga, where allllll of vegeta' pent up hatred and jealousy toward goku finally reared itself after the past two sagas, where he, pretty much, reembodies every dark aspect of his character only to regret his action and, for once in his life, not only fights for the sake of another, but accepts the evil that he has done in the past by coming to terms with the fact that he wouldn't get a body in other world. What firaga is looking for is explicit material, when, more often than not, implicit material carries a much heavier note in terms of getting a point across. Just look at the very first scene we see vegeta in in BoG, he's training, but what is he doing in his training, he is showing that he has control by instead of just smashing the crap out of stuff which he would have done in his saiyan saga days, he has to be precise and control his movements, that speaks volumes in figurative terms on his growth as a person. Vegeta doesn't need some over the top cinematic dialogue to show he has changed, just by joining goku after the frieza saga we get the old "turn he bad guy good" trope that DBZ is known for. Besides this is a shounen, complete indepth characterization that relies on actual self introspection usually is only for seinen.

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
So you pretty much want kingdom hearts dissidia even though dissidia was originally meant to be a KH game but was turned into a FF due to disney characters fighting eachother? Sorry brah, that ship sailed off long ago in the before years.

DragonBall Z: Resurrection "F" (Official Discussion)
to to each their own, but I just can't stand the fusion dance outfit, probably because in elementary school kids would take their shirt and pullit over their head and have the sleeves stay on their arms and pretend theiyre gotenks,...bad times.

DragonBall Z: Resurrection "F" (Official Discussion)
New form looks cool and all, but now that vegeta will finally catch up to goku I want a true god fusion between the two of them. Super saiyan God vegito will just be...ahhhhh I can't even imagine how powerful he will be, we're probably talking destroy the whole universe kamehameha. I hope they avoid fusion dance though and use the potara earrings instead, or come up with some bullshit new type of potara fusion where they aren't permenantly stuck together, but can do it at will. #6moviesAndASeries

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse (PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC)
Unless they introduce otherworld in as dlc or in a sequel, which we most likely will be getting since this is literally the most profitable DBZ game ever made, there is no canon reason for our custom saiyan to go ssj3, and we already have transformation states for the other races Majin can go super(don't need the whole evil eat fat stuff, just giant puff of smoke, boom muscular buu) frieza race, self explanatory; namekian can yet again just imply that they did a fusion and there we're done, just a matter of implementing them, they could have done a better job with frieza race in my opinion, but yeah, not that hard.

Rikus relationship with Repliku, Xion, and Roxas
When it comes to riku fighting roxas, we have to rememeber that roxas didnt have an existential crisis the same way that he did in KH2, he was content living those 350 days with his his best friends, questions of sora came up, but they didnt bother him the same way that they did in KH2. Xion on the other hand knew what she was to an extent and wanted to find out. What exactly she was and why she was created. Riku shows pity to people who doubt themselves, or go out of their way to prove that they exist,like he did in KH1. throughout 358, roxas showed no signs of either of those, he just wanted to go back to the way things were. Roxas' thought process wouldnt necessarily allow riku to reason with roxas in regards to sora ESPECIALLY since roxas was hell bent on destroying Kingdom hearts when they met on the 358th day, but with xion, riku could lead her down the path that would bring her back to sora through words, not actions. But things do take a different turn in riku' actions towards roxas in KH2, he truely pities him in this state, being forced to live his final week of life in a simulated world knowing full well that he is going to "cease to exist" at the end of it, at this point roxas has his "whole life" begin to come into question, he questions his reality and goes plato's"The Cave" on us as he has to deal with both existential crises in both the waking realm and in therealm of sleep as he is dreaming about someone who isnt him, norsomeone he has never met yet feels he is somehow connected to. But you are right in the way that riku distances himself away from his actions, you can even look at him going ansem SOD as the ultimate way of doing so, how else do you excuse your evil actions than take on the form of someone evil.

Mulan's world could've been epic!
Im not sure how i would feel if sora ended up killing 100's of people, one or two people per world is fine, but hundreds back to back. If a person can do that and show no remorse i pity their soul.

So is TWEWY 2 still a thing
Doesn't really need a sequel, what else can we do? Find out there's actually an "overground" where angels reside and fight them? Religious Zealots would be in an uproar, but seriously, if the game changed location to New York or Paris, that'd be interesting, but it wouldn't be twewy without Neku, but he's already self actualized so there wouldn't be much to develop him
