KingdomHearts3

I say we see a Smash Bros appearance because of how Cloud made it in and that’s the closest we have been, a possible collection of all titles on the next generation console, and I dare say we will see Kingdom Hearts 4 in about 2-3 years in the next decade. Kingdom Hearts 3 Final Mix won’t happen because DLC content exists now and they can easily add it in after release like they do with FF15.

Not happening. There wasn’t even going to be one to begin with anyway so let’s move along with life.

I was in middle school when I played my first title 358/2 Days in 2009. That makes me about 13.

Happy Anniversary Kingdom Hearts! May you continue to bring people from all over the world together.

I think basically the attraction from Walt Disney World and Disneyland which has Buzz Lightyear Soace Ranger Spin and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster respectively would be great as a Toy Story mini game and... the claaaaaaaaaawwwww.

Vexen when he was Even was questioning why Ventus did not have darkness in his heart or rather why it was taken away. Usually hearts don't do that and purge themselves of it. The reason why he said Ventus was a "special case" was because he knew that Ventus was different. Even is the genius, the scientist, and he was surely aware of darkness and hearts and the relation between the two.

Calm down there and take deep breaths. I know if you see the letters K and H and number 3 or the words Kingdom and Hearts with the number 3 all at once in one package, you get a heart attack no matter when or where with a goofy like expression on your face. Having said that, while it's nice to think of what it could be, let's remember we have no clue what they are working on as nothing is confirmed or "leaked". They could be working on some Big Hero 6 game or something. It would seem likely it is KH3, but there are reasons to doubt why it possibly isn't KH3 so let's not put the cart before the horse.

Chapter 48 of Apocalyptic War has been posted. Take a look. Now we get to part 1 of 2 where our heroes prepare for the end.

Chapter 48: Prepare for the Bell Part 1 "What about the students? What will be done about them?" Axeron asked. "Some of them will not be anywhere close to ready and we have yet to test some for the Mark of Mastery." That was a good question and a good point. We haven't had the academy open for long and here we are months later with an apocalypse coming. It took the four of us a while to determine what to do with them. "Supreme Elite, will any of them fight at all?" Soraxan asked. We looked at each other and just shook our heads. "They can't fight at all," Adrian said. "None of them are ready yet. I am sure that you agree that even though it has been a while since we were last here, none of them look ready to test for master's right?" The four nodded with some somberness. They may not be Keyblade Masters, but they don't need to be ones to see the students are not ready. "They stay here and just... brace themselves," I said. Darkness was bound to cover all worlds and snuff out all light. I can't imagine what hideous scene would play out on Earth with the dark cover over the Earth. It happened once and things started going down hill quickly. I can only guess what is in store for when the war comes and darkness spreads. "Then it's settled then," Shane said. "We just keep them here and batten down the hatches here." "What will you four do to prepare though?" Derron asked. We just looked back and forth between each other. "Um... well..." I said unsure what to say. "I think we will be doing our own things," Jack said. I was a little surprised at his answer. "We are?" I asked. "Well you remember what Matthew said to us," Jack reasoned. "We should live out our lives until the bell rings." I nodded and we ended the meeting there and returned back to the students. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yen Sid was in his office thinking. He felt it and was sure he felt it. He knew about them and yet never heard nor spoke of them. Yet why does he all of a sudden know of them? The seven lights came into his office all at once with Sora leading the way. "Master Yen Sid, we came to you now because we just felt something strange," he said. Yen Sid nodded in reply. "I too felt it. It is unlike anything I have sensed before," Yen Sid said. "I fail to comprehend what this is... or rather, who they are." "Maybe we can help explain," a male voice said. Behind the seven, a light corridor opened up and out came seven Keyblade wielders of four males and three females came out of the corridor. "Who are you guys?" Sora asked. "Hello Master Yen Sid, seven lights," Matthew said, "it is a pleasure and honor to meet you all. We are the seven guardians of Earth. Or if you will, we are the seven lights of Earth." "Seven lights?" Sora wondered. "Indeed. You may wonder what that strange sensation is and why you felt it," Matthew said. "Allow us to explain who we are." He and the rest of the seven of Earth then told their story and their interactions with the Supreme Elite. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Later that day after the sun went down and everyone went to their rooms, we went to our rooms there at the school and hit the hay. I tried to get some sleep, but I couldn't and I saw it was about midnight. I huffed and decided to get up, get my clothes on. The reason why I couldn't sleep is because of all the thoughts going on in my head. The war, the chaos and ruin coming, and the prophecy that one of us Elite will be chosen by Kingdom Hearts and its counterpart to use the ?-blade and defeat Luxu while becoming one with Kingdom Hearts. The latter really was on my mind and I decided to head outside and just think about it. Luckily there was a full moon and it was bright enough for me and the trees to cast shadows. I walked out and just looked around and just slowly walked toward the edge of the pavement and sat on the stone with my feet on grass looking out over the hill. It is dark out, but there is some light out over the valley before me. I just sat and let myself get lost in my thoughts. I needed to enter reflection over what is coming. Not just that, but everything else that comes with it and all the people that will be affected. After being with Bahamut and being able to request his and the astrals assistance, he told me to enter into reflection. I never did that until now and why not now when it is peaceful and quiet? It may not be like this again. "Master?" I heard someone behind me call out. I look behind me and see Wyatt walking towards me. The moon is so bright I can see his face and body in the moonlight. "Wyatt? What are you doing here? Why are you up?" I asked. We were both speaking in soft voices in order to not disturb the peace. "I just couldn't sleep and I was awake when I saw you get up and walk out here," he replied. "I watched you come out here, but kept my distance not wanting to bother you." I merely nodded and turned back around to my original position my elbows on my knees and facing towards the darkness of the night. Wyatt came up and sat next to me which didn't bother me at all. "Master, I know there is something that is bothering you," he said. "Could you please tell me what exactly happened during your journey away?" I didn't exactly want to talk about it, especially since us Elite have not told the students just yet, which we said we would do the next day, but my heart told me it would be best especially for the future. I merely turned my gaze toward his half lit face and breathed in and out of my nose. "Wyatt, there is a conflict coming called the Apocalyptic War," I explained. "The Apocalyptic War is a conflict that will dwarf the Keyblade War from ancient times and the second one that happened a few years ago. Luxu, the descendant of the apprentice Luxu has seven lights from the Disney Parks and has the thirteen darknesses ready to fight the seven lights of Earth. The seven lights of Earth are seven Keyblade wielders that protect this world and live on each continent. They will fight the thirteen darknesses, defeat them, and with those darknesses, Luxu will unite them with the seven lights and forge the ?-blade. This will all happen during the Apocalyptic War. In order to stand against him, we Supreme Elite have obtained the power of Earth by finding Earth's keyhole and unlocking it. However, there is a prophecy that one of us will be the one with ?-blade in hand will defeat Luxu and purge the darkness from the universe. In doing so, we must become one with Kingdom Hearts and the light. That means that one of us sacrifices themselves in defeating the darkness and will never be seen nor heard from again." Wyatt was silent as the only thing I now heard were the sounds of the night. "Oh... I see..." was all he replied. "I guess I should have left you to your thoughts and to some privacy." He was about to get up, but then I immediately grabbed his wrist. "Please stay," I said. He sat back down with no protest nor with any inclination to object. We just sat together in silence listening to the sounds around us. "So... what will you and Masters Aiton, Kyrios, and Kidemonas do now?" Wyatt asked. "We prepare ourselves to fight," I replied. "...who exactly will be fighting in this war?" "Anyone from non-Keyblade wielders to Keyblade wielders and from all worlds." "Will we be fighting master?" "No, you will not be fighting. Myself and the other Supreme Elite along with the apprentices Axeron and company will be fighting." I then look at him with meaning and heart and emotion in my gaze. "Wyatt, I want you to do something for me. I want you to lead the students here. One of us will be gone and the rest of us will have grown older and retired the label and mantle. With that said, I want you to lead the rest of the students. Be the shepherd for this flock of sheep. They will need one and you are the right person to lead them. They will need you and rely upon you to guide them to being Keyblade masters." Wyatt did not really show much emotion when I told him my desire for him. I could sense though he was overwhelmed when he heard it and is now processing it. He looked back at me with a more concrete look in his eyes. "I will lead them master," he replied. "I am not a Keyblade Master yet though. How can I lead them if I am not a Keyblade Master?" I got up from my spot and walked to the middle of the courtyard. "Come on," I said. He looked confused as he stood up and walked to the middle of the courtyard too standing some fifteen feet away from me. "Master Polemistis, what are you doing?" he asked. "We are going to solve your problem right now," I replied. He still looked confused. I summoned my Keyblade and took stance. "You will fight me and this will be your Mark of Mastery exam. In order for me to determine if you can attain the Mark, I need to test your strength and see if that extra training you put in by yourself will pay off." Wyatt nodded ready to get going and so he summoned his Keyblade and took stance too. We then clashed and fought each other. He was strong and he was impressive. I was slightly surprised how strong he is and how good he is. I used spells and attacks that are standard for a Keyblade master to learn and know and Wyatt handled it all. He even got me a few times with his counters when he blocked. As I fought him, there was no hesitation about what he should do or where to strike. He fought naturally and powerfully and even used some attacks and spells only Keyblade masters that have been masters for a while would know. He must have looked at some books and practiced. By the end of our fight, we were half bent over and looking across from each other in our stances. "I'm amazed Wyatt," I said and stood up fully. "You were strong, powerful, and natural in your fighting. You are very advanced and clearly should have been made a master a while ago. Now, I correct that error." "'Correct the error'?" he asked. I nodded. "Congratulations Master Wyatt, you have shown me you have attained the Mark of Mastery," I said. "I am very pleased to make you a new Keyblade Master." I unsummoned my Keyblade and bowed to now Master Wyatt. He nodded and smiled. I then walk up to him and we shake each other's hand before we embraced each other. "I promise Master Polemistis, I will lead them and protect them," he said referring to the students. "I know you will," I replied. We then went back inside and this time we were able to fall asleep and this time stay asleep after being very tired from the Mark of Mastery exam. The next day came and we started up everything, but this time I had everyone gather together. "Everyone, I want you all to line up in formation please," I said. My friends were confused so I took them off to the side and spoke in a low voice to them. "Ben, what are you doing?" Adrian asked. "Last night I couldn't sleep," I began, "and so I went outside to the courtyard. While I was sitting there, Wyatt came out and sat with me. I had to explain it all to him that night. After I explained what is coming to him, I made him a Keyblade master." My friends were rather shocked over what I did. "What?! You made him a Keyblade master?!" Adrian said in as low of a voice as possible. "You know we didn't even have our first Mark of Mastery test yet, right?" Shane asked. "Yes I know," I replied. "As I was explaining things to him, it got me thinking about what is coming. If we and our apprentices are fighting and these students aren't, who is to say none of us will survive this war? Then who will lead them and care for them? They would be sheep with no shepherd so I told Wyatt to lead them and take care of them. I had to make him Keyblade master." "Are you sure you should have made him a master?" Jack asked. "Yes I am sure," I said with no second thought. "Wyatt knew that when our ancestors came back to here, they were not us even though they looked like us. He did not sense our hearts and he tried to go out on his own to find us or at least me. He stood against Ronnie and Polemos. Wyatt even did so much training by himself after finding me in New York as a regular person. He is growing so much and he was ready to be a Keyblade master. I had to test him then. We fought and at the end of it, I knew he showed his mark of mastery and I called him Master Wyatt. We should give him that respect he is due as it does take a Keyblade master to oversee the Mark of Mastery exam and there is nothing that outlines what an exam contains." My friends were silent and looking at each other waiting to see if the other has any objections. None were brought up after all. "You're right Ben," Shane said. "There isn't anything that says how a test should go and you are a Keyblade master and since you basically had an exam and decided he passed, we will call him Master Wyatt." I smiled and nodded and we returned back to the students and our apprentices. Just beforehand though, we discussed who should be the one to break it to them and I made myself the one because I asked them to get lined up in formation so I should be the one to tell them. It immediately grew silent when they saw us return back from our private discussion. "As you guys know, us Supreme Elite have been away for a while," I said. "It has been a journey with ups and downs and everything in between. We have learned the dark truths of our masters, the Foretellers and how they were their ancestors were responsible for the Keyblade War and kept it secret until today. We split from our ancestors and lived normal lives only to reunite them again. We met a powerful Keyblade wielder called the Keyblade Emperor. He is the ruler over all Keyblade wielders including you all and he showed us history of the interaction between the Realm of Light and Earth. We then found the Earth's keyhole and unlocked its power while meeting the seven guardians of Earth, or seven lights of Earth if you will. We learned also there is a prophecy that a past Keyblade Emperor named Uranaishi foresaw. Basically, a war called the Apocalyptic War will begin and all of the light and all of the dark will fight on a great battlefield and in that war, one of the four of us Elite will sacrifice ourselves to save all of the light and all of the universe from the darkness that will cover this world and others." There were some slight gasps from the students and surprise was clear on some while others had more determined expressions. "There is no guarantee that the rest of us will come back alive," I continued. "All us Elite could perish during the war along with the apprentices that have been with you for all the time we were gone. With that as the worst case scenario, I made Wyatt our newest Keyblade master." There were more gasps and some chatter among them. They then looked at Wyatt who did not bother with the attention and continued to keep his expression the same. "Wyatt, please come forward," I said motioning to him. He nodded and walked up next to my right side and faced the students. "Last night, I had insomnia because of what was coming and so went out to the courtyard and sat at the edge of the stone. Wyatt came out and sat with me and we talked about the future. I thought much about how Wyatt here had changed and what he did to grow; you all surely saw it as Kate told me how you all have noticed the change in his personality. I told Wyatt that should none of us Elite and none of your teachers come back, Wyatt must lead you all. In order for him to do so, I tested him for the Mark of Mastery and fought him. He proved to me that he is worthy of the mark and has shown me that he can lead you all. So now, he is to be called Master Wyatt and is to be treated with the respect a Keyblade master deserves. He will remain your friend though and he will lead you all like a shepherd with his flock." Everyone was silent and they looked at Wyatt who just looked out at them all. I could sense he was a little nervous wondering if they will accept him. Everyone, faced Wyatt and bowed to him. He breathed out of his nose trying to keep his relief as little noticeable as possible. It doesn't get passed me or my friends though. Standing upright after a second, the students summoned their Keyblades, flipped their grip to reverse grip, and then made a handing over gesture to Wyatt. "Master Wyatt," Mark said, "whatever you do, we'll support you always. Lead us so we can become our own masters one day and continue the legacy the Supreme Elite have created." They all then unsummoned their Keyblades and applauded for Wyatt for his success in his Mark of Mastery exam. Then they gathered around him and they all socialized with all smiles. My friends and I and our apprentices stood back and watched with pleasure feeling the hope amidst this dark time. Axeron then spoke up. "Master Polemistis," he said, "you know the war is coming and all of us have to be ready for it. With the students here under the care of Master Wyatt, might I suggest you go and prepare yourselves?" "How could we do that?" Jack asked. "Maybe go off and practice your skills," Axeron replied. "Maybe get your spirit ready since destiny is not something to be taken lightly and those not ready for it are the ones who do not bode well at all." I nodded in understanding. He is right. I haven't practiced my skills or magic and I have not done anything to prepare my soul for this. I look at my friends and I nod. "I think we split up guys," I said. "This is something that we individually need to do so when the bell tolls, we are ready to lead the light." "So, this is goodbye?" Shane asked. "For now," Adrian said. "We'll meet up again and we'll be ready when we do." There was a moment of silence between us before Jack spoke up. "See you all soon," Jack said. "See you soon," I said and we grabbed each other's hands and gave each other an embrace. Then we turned to the apprentices and they bowed to us. "We are ready to fight with you, Supreme Elite," Axeron said on behalf of him and his companions. They then stood upright and nodded. We then opened our own light corridors, one for each of us, and my friends and apprentices went through first. I was about to go through mine before I heard someone call after me. "Master Polemistis!" the voice said. I turn and see Wyatt approaching me. "Thank you for being there for me. I will lead them and protect them and I swear I won't disappoint you." I nodded and smiled warmly. "It has been a great pleasure... Master Wyatt," I replied. The last part surprised him a bit and I bowed to him. He smiled and we grabbed hands. Then we pulled each other into a hug knowing this could be the last time we see each other.

My favorite in all honesty is the χ Back Cover version. I love the organ that's in it.

Well we barely know anything about KH3 drive forms to begin with. KH3 is so massive and we know only a small piece about it. Don't worry, we'll learn more.

They should have used this for the Castle of Dreams portion of 0.2.

Oh no no no. Where I go to college, you enroll in the class or guess what? If you aren’t first, you’re last and you get nothing. In other words, wait and you are likely getting nothing.

Nope. Another trailer with possibly the release date this time.

I think because of how far technology for gaming has gone and the innovation of the Kingdom Shader and how they have mastered it, there is no need to use CGI anymore. The graphics in general are just about all CGI. It is a fine line between what is animated and what is realistic. Square Enix has found a way to make the graphics seem like it is realistic while also reminding you that it is also animated. That is why CVI use has disappeared a long time ago.

Never plays nor care to.

Kingdom Hearts II is one of the most important pieces of the saga. It’s story is just fine. One person that doesn’t like doesn’t all of a sudden make it bad. Nothing revolves around a few people and a few people don’t decide what is good or bad. They have their preferences. KH2 is a fine title with a fine story. You have your own opinion. Don’t let someone else shape yours or make you question your opinion.

The question is if, not when. We could get the game alone for all we know.

My reaction seeing this: This is the second official trailer since the first one from November 2017.

Happy birthday to your nephews!

Welcome. Great to have you. Marluxia eh? You’ll love KH3 then.

I can’t believe that I beat the Union Cross weekend boss all by myself.

No. It will likely come at E3.

Vision all because of what we saw in the trailer.

And the wait for Sora in Smash continues...
