yes what is that? Its not a keyblade and if it is I found the winner for the ugliest weapon of 2017

Mickey losing his shirt  :wink:

Nomura said that there's worlds that they haven't even started making yet, so I'd say nothing is "too new" as of currently.

Well, "new" for me (in this context) is a movie that would be released around/right before/right after KH3's release date (Which my guess is a 2018 release).

I'm guessing the main scenario was done in 2015-2016, so I'm guessing that's the cut-off, I don't suspect that Square would just be adding worlds on the fly, unless Disney gives them specitic insite, like the entire plot or something.

Well, I think that anything from this year onward would be too new. I think that at most, we'd get Disney films up to last year that have the possibility of appearing in Kingdom Hearts III!  Remember, Nomura said a long while back that all worlds had been selected, and then in another time, he said that the skeleton of the game is basically complete!  With that being said, all worlds that were considered to be brought into Kingdom Hearts III were already selected, so I'm sure that films up to last year are likely candidates! If Nomura got to see Zootopia and Moana before anyone else, then maybe they could be worlds in Kingdom Hearts III! I mean, why are characters from those films medals in Unchained X? Just to promote their films? I think there's a deeper meaning behind that, ya know?

There is no such thing as too new. If they want it to be in KH, they'll put it in. Simple as that.

The break number so far is Tron Legacy, which came out less than a year and a half before DDD. DDD was very rushed however, so adding aVERY recent world in may have been possible just due to the rushing process - it's possible that by this point in KH3's development all the worlds have been decided in a while, even if they are not all created in-game yet, there is no way of knowing considering how little we know of KH3's development process

It really all depends. But I would say anything that got released while the game is in it's last stage of development. Pretty much once the worlds are decided and made, there aren't going to be any last second additions. There's always a chance that they got access to Moana assets to make a world off it or other movies made within a similar time frame, but I think anything after Summer 2017-onward is off the table. Nomura said they still have to start work on the other worlds they have selected, and unless that already included worlds based off of movies coming out in 2017 and 2018 in the first place, there's a good chance that 2016 might be the most recent year we see for a new Disney world, 2017 at the latest. This is all still assuming that KH3 comes out in 2018 of course, which we haven't gotten a solid word on yet.

honestly i would have said something that isn't at least 5-10 years old but that little guideline has been broken by even the first KH game. Tarzan was released in 1999, and Kingdom Hearts came out in 2002. that was a pretty relatively new movie but it was in KH anyways. 
 
so at this point really nothing is "too new" i guess. as long as it's from the Disney Animated Classics lineup i'll give it a fair chance no question. 
 
although i will say i hope they base the world choices on what they can relate to the main plot of the game, and not just which movie is them most recent/still popular with kids today. i'd love for the Disney worlds to actually have some kind of relation to the plot, be it the themes the original movie contains or just significant plot events taking place in those worlds. 

Kingdom Hearts 3 is still "a long way" says Tetsuya Nomura, how long will it be before we see anything new or a release date? I don't know, but one thing has been making me think lately. Sense KH3 is still in development, do you think it's possible for us to see the new disney films besides Big Hero 6? Such as Moana? Remember, the development team sometimes gets to see certain films before they come out for the game so it's entirely possible. With that being said, what exactly is considered "too new" for Kingdom Hearts?

First pages!

I absolutely love this idea no thats not enough i need to see it!!! Looking forward to more!!!

Update: 1/11/17 - Small concept art & Story completely changing for more of a Fairy Tale/Lovecraftian feel.

---WARNING: I don't have a drawing tablet nor a fancy a illustration software due to money issues. For now anyway. So everything has to be portrayed as sketches. In the future I may remake or retrace Arrhythmia in the digital field.---
 
*Go to bottom of topic for the 1/14/17 questions*
 
So, a little bit ago I said that I wanted to start making web comics and writing. And now I finally want to start that dream. So what will my first story be about? Well, being on this site, you must know that I LOVE Kingdom Hearts, right? But if there's one thing I hate about the world's that Sora and the gang go to. Disney's films are not the original story (most of the time) with cases like Snow White, Cinderella, Hercules, Aladdin and others that only vaguely resemble the original open use material. The original's are darker and more grotesque in nature, in comparison to the bright and colorful Disney versions. They have become so famous; that they are mistaken as the originals.
 
Once I asked myself "What would Sora do if he was in these horrifying stories?" That inspired me to make this!
 
ARRHYTHMIA. A horror story, directly inspired by the Kingdom Hearts series. But instead of starring a keyblade wielding jolly character going to many colorful worlds, this story stars a young girl who lives a new life every time she dies. She was chosen by the "Great Ones" to see through dimensions and face off against beings known as parasites that want to disrupt the balance between life and death.
 
She will be followed by "The Shadow" a being that will be her equivalent to Sora's Keyblade. But instead it will be some what sentient. Some what meaning he can't talk but still use body language to communicate with our main character.
 
For worlds I'm doing more than just the original fairy tales that Disney based their famous films on (as some of then are too bland to become worlds) But also will include other open use material like Japanese cultural stories/urban legends, other famous fairy tales, nursery rhymes, old horror monsters and other things as well. A good example for "others" would be something like H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu.
 
I have already though of a few ideas, but I would like to hear yours as well for worlds, enemies, how far I should go with gore and horror, ect.
 
Speaking of "gore and horror" coming this far into the post must already tell you that this story will feature A LOT of death and disturbing imagery. But I'll make another warning just in case...WARNING: THIS WEBCOMIC WILL FEATURE GORE, BLOOD, GUTS, SWEARING, RELIGIOUS REFERENCES, SEXUAL THEMES, ECT.
 
Here's some concept art I have for the main character & her shadow along with some artwork of one of the monsters I'd like to implement.
 
 
Another warning: I have little to no money or equipment. So the story most likely will be in sketch only (that is until I get the money to get better equipment and a better computer) I've thought of the idea of drawing everything, importing the images and tracing them with a mouse and a free illustration software like Gimp. But I figured that would take too long and gimp doesn't have what I need. I understand that webcomics are a visual media, but I'd like you to judge this webcomic by it's story more than it's limited appearance.
 
UPDATE: 11/15/2016 -Worlds CONSIDERED to be added
Today I've decided to be a bit more specific on what kind of worlds I'd be adding to Arrhythmia.
 
-Original Fairy Tales | Some of these old stories that Disney has remade into classics need to show their old, much darker colors. I'll also be adding Fairy Tales that Disney has made family friendly
-Urban Legends | Mainly based on American and Japanese Urban legends like the infamous slit mouth woman or Bunny Man. I've also just thought about adding a "disaster" world based on Urban Legends in general
-Open Use Material | Open Use refers to something that was made by someone else but is NOT owned by a specific company. Good examples of this are Call of Cthulhu, Krampus, Edgar Allen Poe poems & Dracula
-Japanese Folklore/mythology | Slit Mouth Woman, Tomino's Hell & other fascinating tales from Japan could be included. Japan's such a creative place.
-Religion | I'll have to be REALLY careful on this one in case I offend anyone. Especially sense I'm not a religious person. This kind of stuff could include Buddhism, The Crucifixion of Christ & Dante's Inferno/a HELL world. Though, I might not include something so risky.
-Moments in History | Mainly famous wars such as World War II in Germany or World War I.
-Original content | Hey, why not have some fun and include other things as well?
 
UPDATE: 1/11/17 - Small concept art & Story completely changing for more of a Fairy Tale/Lovecraftian feel.
So today I decided to take the story into a route. I want to add a lot of mystery and less dialogue so there could be a lot of speculation for others to make. Still figuring things out. But to let you know I'm still working hard on Arrhythmia here's some half-complete concept art of the first page.

 
I hope you like what you see
 
UPDATE: 1/14/17 - What do you want to see?
 
So recently I became a bit stumped on how Arrhythmia should be set up, then I remembered that this would be KH inspired project so who else to ask then the KH community? I have a few questions down below and if you're interested then please give me your honest thoughts in a comment! Ok? Here are the questions?
 
1. Despite it being a horror, do you want some action? Maybe a small amount so that it doesn't over shadow the horror.
2. Do you want a lot of original characters to be introduced? Not in the main cast as that will only consist of the young girl and "the Shadow" but something like Roxas, Aqua or Axel. Characters that would still be important to the story yet wouldn't interfere with the main task.
3. A main villain? Something on the lines of Xehanort but I've also considered not making a villain to just make the enemy the parasites and the adventure.
4. If yes to the villain then would you also like to see a group like Organization XIII or a cult?
 
Now for something else. I'd like Arrhythmia to have some original worlds but maybe have then inspired by actual horror products. Parodies if you will. If there's a famous horror game, movie, anime, cartoon, comic, book or some other form of media you'd like to see included then also put them down below. It could go from anything like FNAF, Silent Hill or Friday the 13th. Please put your honest thoughts down below!
 
More questions could be added later on, thanks for reading and I'll see you soon with more concept art.

I dont speak japanese so i did not understand everything, but for those who want to Know how 0.2 ends :
 
Aqua and Mickey are in what's left of the destiny Islands in the dark world, they go to the secret place and they open the door that sora opens at the very start of KH1.
 
Behind the door mickey finds and takes the kingdom key D, then a light covers the screen.
 
When the light fades, mickey and aqua find themselves in front of the door of kingdom hearts, where You can see mickey for the first time in KH1.
 
They see KH1 riku running to the door, but he is attacked by a heartless swarm, so they defend him, but mickey loses part of his clothes (to match with the end of KH1) and aqua is transported back to destiny islands by the swarm.
 
Mickey gets up and defeat some darkisdes while riku holds the door, Then the end of KH1 happens.
 
Aqua defeat the swarm and is swallowed by darkness since destiny island go back to the world of light.
 
CREDITS.
 
After the credits we see aqua meeting ansem the wise in the dark margin.
 
Then we see mickey, kairi and riku in yen sid tower, mickey tells riku the story of aqua, Then they set off to find her with 2 cases given by yen sid (outfits i guess).
 
Kairi is told to train with lea. She asks who lea is and learn that he is axel reborn as a human. She is upset but riku convince her to agree (thanks princenoctis for this one x) )
 
They all go, Then sora arrives. He tells donald and goofy that what he was doing is a secret then they talk with yen sid.
 
Yen sid reveals that sora gained a new power during his mark of mastery, but because of xehanort he fell to the darkness and lost a part of this power.
 
To Gather the 7 lights and defeat xehanort he must retreive his lost power, so yen sid suggest him to ask the hero who lost and recovered his power (aka hercule), so they go to olympus.
 
In the gummi Ship they wonder how to get there, and sora remember he was told to "follow the key to his heart"
 
 
Sorry for the bad english and lack of details x) of someone wants to add something, please do

Now all we need is for him to be in the new Dissidia game!

The Nobodies are under Xemnas' control. He wouldn't send them to get in the way of Roxas when Roxas was working for them. But Heartless are weaker than Nobodies, so I guess when Xemnas sends Nobodies after Sora they just kinda... take over the city, at some point?
 
Twilight Town was a place where Roxas collected Hearts the most at first, but he went there a lot less by the end of the year. So maybe there just weren't a lot of Heartless there anymore by then, and then Nobodies didn't have trouble basically taking over.

Ahh yes, I remember now!
 
 
That would explain why in in certain scenerios in KH2 where you had to fight the Nobodies, there were no Heartless. Like in Hades' room in the Underworld.

That would be so awsome!

We've had enough censorship in this franchise. Let the duck hang loose.
 
 
You know, customization goes beyond clothing options. Maybe I want to give Sora Mickey Mouse ears, did you ever think of that?

Maybe I'll finally be able to fulfill my dream of making Donald Duck wear pants!

I don't see why not, I mean- *GASP* NO WHAT if in KH3 we could customize more than just Sora, but also the other party members?! ERMAHGERD NEED!

Wait, what?  Now that you mention it, that is a bit odd!  I mean, the only thing we fought in both versions of Twilight Town were Nobodies, right? How strange!
 
Or hey, maybe it could be that the Nobodies became such a strong presence in Kingdom Hearts II in Twilight Town that the Heartless weren't able to enter! After all, I don't believe that Heartless and Nobodies get along!  So maybe it was that? Because there weren't any Nobodies in Days in Twilight Town, that I remember!

The Heartless appeared in Twilight during 358/2 Days and are supposed to be in during KH3 so why not during the game that takes place in between them? That's something I've never understood. I haven't played KH2 in a while so for all I know it could be something basic I'm not remembering.
