So that's why I got an email that my package has been shipped

I agree with a lot of you but here is my key points.Ventus, Aqua, Terra... savedFinal battle between Sora and MX with Sora's heart earning the χ-blade from MX and defeating him Sora using the χ-blade to access the real Kingdom Hearts and give a ''real life'' to Roxas, Namine and have 3 nice friendship triangles, Sora-Riku-Kairi, Ven-Terra-Aqua, Roxas-Lea-Namine.Some actual romances And finally, a battle with 100K heartless on screen!

Because I think that we will see a Riku-Sora moment (from KH1 when Sora's stronger heart earned the keyblade back from Riku), Sora will be the last to use the χ-blade, and it will also be playable at the last battle.

That will be a nice twist. Start the game as Kairi in training under Yen Sid and act as tutorial in the game for new players in the franchise.

I can't think of a better name than that for Kairi's keyblade. Spot on.There is one name I like from another game, Chaoseater.

So I take that you agree at the rest of the post because you decided to answer only this.3DS lacks an analog stick and 2 triggers and has an extra screen. They could have put the KH2 gameplay but it wouldn't be the same.As I said, the story is good and all the games are considered very good games in their respective platforms. That is what matters to me. Good games sell. So, Square and every game company that wants to make money, should make good games.

Does Darth Vader count? It's Disney property now. :PSeriously now, Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians

Which game of the series was a disappointment to make you believe that there is no way the KH3 will not be good? Based on the platforms they worked, I think that the developer team delivered a good game its time, and that goes for all the developer teams that made a game for the Kingdom Hearts series. You have a point at the difficulty that someone will have to understand the story, if they have only played KH1+2 and not the other games. I think the only way around it, is a small movie at the start screen of the game which will explain the story so far. Apart from that, no game can satisfy everyone with its story, its gameplay and all its mechanisms. The same goes for books, movies etc. (story)PS As for the gameplay, it will be an evolution of the KH2 one. The gameplay of the handheld games were restricted by its handheld's own buttons which are lesser than the Dual Shock.

Aqua can be extracted from the RoD by Riku, but the only one who can help Ven is Sora and it isn't clear if he knows that at all.

Final form maxed out with Oblivion and Oathkeeper equiped is unstoppable but also crazy fun to play. So, I'm in favor of them returning.I can't wait to play Limit Form also when KH2.5 comes out.

Just to clarify... EA doesn't own anything. EA was a publisher for some Star Wars games but the rights to any Star Wars game belong to Lucas Arts which was bought by Disney. So, if Disney gives Nomura the OK, then it's a done deal.And yes, Darth Vader would be an awesome boss fight.

I think my avatar speaks for itself :PI also use the Ultima weapons but in true the only other keyblade that comes close to Oblivion for me is the Decisive Pumpkin from KH2.

I think the fact that Sora's wields the Kingdom Key is one of the mysteries of the game. Is it because his heart was stronger than Riku's? Is it because Ven's heart resides inside him? Is it a combination of these things or something else entirelly? And why Sora is wielding that particular Keyblade? Why is the χ-blade a combination of 2 Kingdom Keys? The most common theory (and also the one that is being said throughout the game) is that the KK passed down to Sora from Riku because his heart was stronger. Young Xehanort kind off said so in KH3D. The thing is, though..... what Xehanort thinks is true, doesn't mean that it is really true. I think the final game will solve all the controversies, or actually comfirm what we know.PS I just realised how difficult would be for most users to actually type the letter ''χ'' in the χ-blade because it's probably not in their keyboard layout, while it is in mine due to being a letter from the Greek Alphabet.

Keep Oblivion and Oathkeeper and put as many more other as possible. Diversity and freedom of choice.

Why would I do that? Besides, she can take care of herself.

I'm getting the KH:1.5 when it is released in September because I haven't played KH:FM and Re:CoM. And of course, because I want it for my collection. PS In the future.... please Square make the games available worldwide at the same time.

Ι have known the site for quite some time, viewing some walkthrough videos (great ones BTW), reading news on the KH universe etc. AfterMonday's anouncement though, I'm so happy, so I thought I should join the community and start sharing some of my thoughts of the series. Hope the wait for KH3 is actually going to give us the best game in the series.

I found out the site via youtube, seeing some walkthroughs of the games.

If.... and I mean IF it doesn't compromise the story or the game experience in any way possible, I would like to see a co-op mode, preferably an offline one. Would be nice for example to play as Goofy, or play as Mickey while your friend next to you play as Sora. Again, I repeat, first and foremost I want the best single player game possible. If they can do both, would just awesome.

The graphics in the teaser trailer look just perfect for KH3. Some CGI, some cartoonish feel... just perfect. And that's for the game's cartoonish worlds. With the shader change, we can see for example, also, a more human (graphics wise) version of Sora and the others in worlds like Pirates of The Caribbean and maybe other new human worlds like Star Wars, Avengers.... etc.

Very interesting thoughts about the story from all of you. Personally, I think Aqua will be retrieved early in the game by Sora himself. I think the fact that we see the conversation between Ansem the Wise and Aqua (when she learns about Sora's adventures) in the RoD in the Birth By Sleep secret ending, it's just a way for Nomura to tell us that Sora is going to be the one to save her. The same goes for Ven, Terra. It's just my thought. Nothing concrete here. Finally, I think that in the very end, Sora will access Kingdom Hearts to give Roxas and Namine a true life on their own with all of them (along with Sora and Kairi) as individual beings.

Biggest fear is that the characters don't mature. What I mean, is that the characters should not be kids anymore but young adults who know what is at stake, are wiser, they think before they act and finally maybe actually fall in love. For example, think of a scenario where Sora and Kairi meet Aqua for the first time, and Sora after seeing how beautiful Aqua, is bubbling and then Kairi notices and actually gets jealous. That would be pretty fun to watch.

I copy what I posted on another similar thread. Toy Story World, I think is a pretty safe bet. Also, now with Disney buying almost everything (Marvel, Lucas Film even made a bid for Hasbro(Transformers)) there is a great chance that there will an Avenger world or Star Wars one, or both. They are 2 of the biggest fanchises in the movie industry right now like Pirates of the Carribean was back when KH2 was made. As for other worlds from the Disney-Pixar universe, I think they all have the same chance to make appearance. Nomura has stated that he tried its time to add Jungle Book in the lineup but it didn't make the cut. Maybe now, It will be different. PS A Lightsaber keyblade will look super cool. Also, it doesn't go any darker than a Sith as a villain.

@EternalReckoning I agree. So, it's safe to say then. KH:1.5 -> 2013KH:2.5 -> 2014 KH3 -> 2015?

KH1 -> Simple & Clean by Utada HikaruKH2 -> Sanctuary by Utada Hikaru I think we are going to have another song by her for KH3, and I will be pretty pleased.
