- Riku's Voice Actor David Gallagher Completes Kingdom Hearts Playthrough, With Plans to Finish the Series

If you could meet any Kingdom Hearts voice actor, who would it be?
David Gallagher has been entertaining to watch playing through KH1 for the first time on YouTube. His voice naturally sounds like Riku and he keeps referring to Riku as himself so I think he'd be fun to meet. I also used to have a crush on Sora's Japanese voice actor Miyu Irino so I wouldn't mind meeting him either 😅

What moment in Kingdom Hearts made you cry the most?
I've cried many times throughout this franchise but possibly the moment that made me cry most was the KH1 ending. Sora saying, "I'm always with you too", whilst being separated from Kairi, the music and the beautiful animation made me sob when I first watched it (20 years ago!). Oh and when Kairi 'sees' Sora drawing the paopu fruit and laughs whilst crying 😭

Which final battle world stands out the most in Kingdom Hearts?
Scala ad Caelum because it was a beautifully designed world which was clearly once a thriving place but by KH3 was completely deserted, giving it an eery feel and making you wonder what happened there. Also the beautiful setting was an interesting contrast to the tense, dark mood as you prepared to fight Xehanort, though of course it turned into a very abstract and much darker setting when everything turned Doctor Strange.

What original Kingdom Hearts world would you like to live in?
Destiny Islands has always been my favourite. It hardly ever gets attacked by Heartless or Nobodies, it's beautiful, it's peaceful whilst still having a good community of people and you'd get to hang out with Sora, Riku and Kairi. Plus I want to see what the main island looks like as we've never explored it. Lastly Terra and Aqua indicated that it's a world bathed in warmth and light unlike any other world which makes it sound basically like heaven.

What do you think is the purpose of the phone shown in the recent KH4 screenshots?
This has actually got me wondering, will save points look the same in Quadratum? If it's meant to resemble the real world then those glowing circles/spiralling lights might look out of place. It'd be interesting if they were disguised as things like a telephone. When Sora's outside his flat (apartment) the save points could be phone boxes instead, though most phone boxes in my country now house defibrillators as no one uses them anymore.

In the recent KH4 screenshots, what do you think the two lights attacking Darkside are?
Sora and Riku is certainly possible, but it could also be Sora and Strelitzia. I feel like people are forgetting Strelitzia is a keyblade wielder as well, so she could be a party member fighting alongside Sora.

New Kingdom Hearts IV Screenshots Released
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 2027 either, but I hope we don't have to wait too long to get more substantial updates.

If you tap on the image and then press the arrow to the right of the image you'll see almost the same image with Japanese text, except the top screenshot looks different and the lighting looks better in it.

Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link development cancelled
That's possible too. I doubt they'll just throw away the story completely, especially as it promised to answer every unanswered question we had!

Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link development cancelled
That's really disappointing, but I hope they find some other way of giving us the story that was going to be in the game. Like a Back Cover-style movie maybe.

What do you think is the best Star Wars movie in the Skywalker Saga?
I need to rewatch them all again. Went to see Revenge of the Sith in the cinema last week after having probably not seen it since its original release. All I remembered of the film was the ending and the fact it had a cheesy script ("I have the high ground!!") but I appreciated its humour a lot more this time around.

Which of the Foretellers' backstory would you like to know more about?
Whilst Ava is my favourite Foreteller and leader of my union, I voted for Gula as he's a character with different layers to his personality that makes him quite intriguing. He's quick-thinking yet often laid-back and aloof yet obviously has a soft spot for Ava. It'd be interesting to know what makes him like that.

"Kingdom Hearts" meets "Miraculous"?
No it counted as 7 separate instances, as clarified by Chirithy below: Chirithy: Even with the power of waking, you can't just bring someone back. Sora: But Kairi's heart hasn't been lost yet. She's still with us, right? Chirithy: Maybe, but this time, I'm afraid the situation is a lot worse. Sora: Hey, I've already restored six hearts. What's one more? Chirithy: But that's not how it's supposed to work at all. The power of waking is meant to be used to wake and restore sleeping hearts, not to restore them after they've completely faded away from existence. You've done that six times before, and as a result, you've managed to greatly alter the course of history itself.

Why did xemnas need time travel to come back?
Ansem the Wise said that Sora was the only one able to return to his human form without destroying his Nobody. I believe this means that no other Nobody is able to co-exist with their Somebody without using time travel, except Namine and Kairi due to the fact that Kairi never lost her human form and Sora was involved in creating Namine. Also, I think that with other Nobodies who possess hearts but then return to their human form, their Nobody hearts merge with their human hearts to become one and the same (like Axel/Lea). Therefore Xemnas couldn't be extracted from Xehanort without Xehanort perishing.

Did Ven give Vanitas a REAL body or not...?
I've wondered about this as well. Whilst I don't know the exact answer, I think Vanitas' body must have been like Sora's body when Kairi changed him back from being a Heartless. His body looked and seemingly acted like normal but it was incomplete until Roxas returned to him. Therefore I think Vanitas' body must also have been incomplete without Ven. Though of course both Vanitas and Roxas obtained their own complete bodies in KH3.
