Hero of Light XIV

Any of them (or all of them, if a fan can dream...), but definitely Haley, I'd definitely be up for asking some advice on voice acting, considering he's been in the business since childhood. It's not like it's my career choice or anything, but I've always been curious in dabbling with it.

I just know the nature of these things, and as nice as it would be for everything to work perfectly where it gets made at the right time...people aren't going to wait to make their money. And yeah, maybe I am taking it a bit too seriously. But at the same time, it is my opinion, and like I said, I'm not totally against the idea, it's just not something I absolutely need to see happen right now.

I think you're missing my point. It's TOO SOON for Big Hero 6 to get a live action reboot, if anything it should be getting a sequel first. I realize is potential for it, but that might get soiled if it's attempted before it's proper time. Wouldn't you rather see the story keep getting continued through more and more adventures with the portrayal of the cast you've come to love already? Cause they likely won't do that if they go ahead with a live action remake, they'll want to keep that the only version they market at that time, you don't see them making an animated sequel to Beauty and The Beast just cause they have a live action remake of it right now, do you? Let Big Hero 6 as it is now continue to grow and become more successful, then when it seems like there isn't anything left for you to do with it, make it into a live action reboot. The point of all of these things is to simultaneously attract a new audience that never saw the original (possibly in hopes of convincing them to check out and buy the original) while at the same time attracting the older audience who did see the original and are looking for some nostalgia or something new. The new audience has already seen BH6 by this point, what's the point in confusing them further by re-telling the same story less than 4 years after they just saw the original? Most of these remakes have at least 10 years between them and their original counterparts, they should wait AT LEAST that long before attempting to do the same with BH6. It's not that I don't want them to do it (well, I mean, I'd prefer them not to, but I'm not exactly fully against the idea), it's that if they are going to do it at all, I want them to do it right, and the fact is that doing it this soon is not the right way to do it.

Um, so long as you have an accurate measurement of their waist size and have a good idea of their fashion sense, then yeah it's certainly not impossible.

Okay, I can understand the more classic stuff, but Big Hero 6? Seriously? It hasn't even been 10 years since it was released, can't we wait for it to become classic first before turning it into a live action remake like everything else? I understand being excited for ideas that seem cool to you, but there's such a thing as being too hasty. Same goes for Frozen and Princess and The Frog. This shouldn't have to be like Spider-Man where we have to reboot it every few years.

I'm of the opinion that it does, but whatever, if people want to be impatient over something that's going to end up being covered at some point in the year regardless of whenever it was promised, then fine. I'll be over here NOT freaking out over the end of Winter.

Did it never occur to you that maybe Union Cross WAS the Winter announcement? I mean it's a freaking big deal for KHUX, and the news was never explicitly said to be KH3 news. We will get news when we get news, but if you insist on them "keeping their word", well there you go, they kept their word.

Yeah but THAT ain't Disney...or at least, it really shouldn't be...

Please, no more. I'd rather just see new stuff from Disney. Unless they really have something new to offer in remaking all of these movies, there's virtually no point to recreating them shot for shot. But then again I haven't seen Beauty and the Beast yet, so maybe it's actually made an improvement over the last few remakes. Guess I'll have to see for myself. Um, that's not even Disney...

Except you have events out of order though. Xehanort split Ventus into Ventus and Vanitas way before Ven ever connected with Sora. So that whole time Vanitas was around before Sora entered the picture, he had no true face underneath that mask (the novel describes it as being kind of a featureless black void with simple red glowing eyes, similar to the Anti Black Coat Nightmare in DDD. Don't read too deep into that similarity, I was just bringing it up for a comparison/example/illustration). It wasn't until some unspecified amount of days later that Xehanort took Ventus to Destiny Islands to die peacefully, and that was when Sora's newborn heart connected with Ventus, and when Vanitas' face began to change into that of Sora's. From that point on Ven had a repaired heart of pure light (as opposed to a weakened broken one) and Vanitas had a true face that resembled Sora's. The chain of events that caused it couldn't happen until after Xehanort used his Keyblade on Ventus in the first place. Maybe the eye saw that happening but that doesn't mean it had a direct influence over Vanitas' appearance, things just happened on their own, largely without Xehanort or his Keyblade's interference. Remember, the eye only works by seeing stuff as it happens, not knowing it already and making it so, it can only observe and pass that on to the Master of Masters. So his Keyblade had nothing to do with why Vanitas has a face at all, it's because of Sora's heart alone and that's it.

Um, when was Twinkle Twinkle Holidays in that tracklist? I think you got it mixed up with Drammatica, the Best of Yoko Shimomura. I mean, they're still great pieces, but they aren't packaged in the same album.

Considering how it seems much more likely that they would just pull Vanitas from time before he re-fuses with Ven, I don't think there would be much need for an awakened Ventus to "knock some sense" into Vanitas to get him to return to his heart as this Ventus would already have a complete heart. Unless they were seriously willing to separate him into two people again, but I feel like that would just be contrived and a big waste of that time travel gimmick you just came up with. I mean, the idea of an anti-hero Vanitas does sound pretty cool, but I don't think we would get it through that direct of a method, if at all.

Pretty much this, we aren't supposed to think about it too hard. If you wanted more detail, you'd probably have to fill it up with your own headcanon to fill in the gaps. But there are probably some things you don't have to worry about. Here I just kind of delve into more detail about how I feel it probably works and why we don't have to worry as much about how things happen (mostly because of meta-reasons like "the movie didn't feature these areas so they aren't relevant enough to show"). 1. Pretty sure that if you keep walking on a world you're not going to randomly end up in the Lanes Between. That's just not how any planet works, we can't walk around Earth for miles and miles until we come across "the edge of the world", because that edge doesn't exist. Otherwise we've been wasting +50 years trying to get into space through rockets when we could have just found some magic cave somewhere that leads directly to the moon or something. I mean if that worked that way, then any of the worlds' various inhabitants would have stumbled across the Lanes Between already and the whole point of the worlds keeping each other separated would have been pretty pointless. So like any other planet or planetoid, you would likely just keep going around however much of the world there is until you eventually return to the point you started from. 2. Like Draco said, it really depends on if you buy into the whole "Disney universe is all canon to each other" fan theory. Unless you're one of those people who are convinced that the ship that Elsa and Anna's parents were on is the same sunken ship that's seen in Atlantica and that they escaped on a life boat to Africa last second and gave birth to Tarzan making him Elsa and Anna's long lost brother, and that while at the same time that's happening the events of Peter Pan: Return to Neverland are also taking place (because World War II) in London, and that 20-30 years earlier in America the events of Atlantis the Lost Empire took place and etc, etc, etc, the point is, unless you're one of the Disney fans who buys into that idea that all the movies can be traced back to one another in one large world where a lot of magical stuff happens in every corner of the world every second of every year, odds are you shouldn't assume the worlds in KH are anymore connected to each other as they are literally separate areas of time and space on their own. I mean, technically speaking they were all part of the same world once, but would time really have allowed all of them to influence each other in that sort of way prior to the Keyblade War? Doesn't seem likely, that was more than a 1000 years ago and they all would have been following the same time-flow by that point. As far as KH is concerned, these worlds and the properties they are based off of seem to be largely independent of each other, unless they are made of multiple worlds that are directly connected to each other (ie, The Grid and whatever the name of the "Real World" it comes from would be called for instance, or Monstro and Prankster's Paradise). I mean, if you wanted to, I guess you could still argue that the events of all of the Disney movies still could have been influencing each other prior to being separated like the fan theory suggests and that the Keyblade War's destruction causes them to become separate but each still progressing through their own flow of time, while the inhabitants themselves don't perceive that much time taking place anyway, since Riku and Joshua explained that each world follows it's own passage of time in some form or another. There's certainly room to believe that if that's what you want to believe, but personally I find it to be much simpler to just assume that each of these properties, as far as KH is concerned, came about independently under their own terms. Whether or not Tarzan's China and Mulan's China are one and the same in different points of time is irrelevant, as they are on two separate worlds anyway, so you would never get to compare them anyhow. For that matter, for all we know there's more to the worlds than just the areas we can explore (returning worlds like Agrabah and Halloween Town keep having different areas available all the time). Maybe for the inhabitants of that world, the rest of the "Earth" that Agrabah, Atlantica, Olympus Coliseum, etc. take place in actually exists for them to explore (I mean, Genie's world tour would have been pretty boring if all there was to see was just endless desert and nothing else). We just don't get to see it because we play the role of explorers and we really don't need to explore much further than the areas that the story takes place in. Maybe the world itself even prevents outsiders like Sora and the others from exploring beyond the bounds of the main setting of the movie the world is based off of, so while the inhabitants like Genie can explore as much as they want, we're kind of stuck to a small piece of a possibly more expansive world. And even then most inhabitants don't stray too far from their setting anyway, either out of comfort or environmental reasons (Destiny Islands are surrounded by seemingly endless ocean, Agrabah is surrounded by seemingly endless desert, Land of Dragons has a bajillion mountain ranges everywhere, etc.), so it's unlikely you would ever have to explore beyond what the world thinks is necessary for you to snoop around in. 3. As far as particular worlds like Stitch's "native galaxy" or "corner of the universe" or whatever you want to call that part of space Jumba created him in, which in this case would not simply be made up of one specific planetoid but rather a designated piece of space with any planets or space-stuff that directly interacts with the events of the movie, the difference may be tricky, but I think the rules would be mostly the same. It's possible that those other planets from the Lilo and Stitch movie are still part of that movie's "world" so to speak, but as an explorer, again, the "world" itself doesn't allow outsiders like Aqua explore beyond the part that it feels is necessary for them to meddle around in, the spaceship that Stitch is being kept on. As far as we know, the "space" that makes up the world is still the Lanes Between/Ocean of Stars that makes up the world selection map of the KH games, just with a few more visible planets/worlds/whatever visible, but either not given many distinctive features cause the world doesn't want you to focus on those or it doesn't want its' inhabitants questioning their presence that much, or again they are the same ones from the movie but they were never really explored in detail in the movie so they really don't serve much more than set decorations at this point. With this in mind, maybe a world based off the likes of Star Wars or Treasure Planet could still work as they could instead of being one singular world could be a small cluster of worlds that occupy the same space, it's just that the world barrier would extend beyond just one of them and encompass all of them and the space between them. I guess you can almost think of it as something similar to Super Mario Galaxy's galaxy system, in that each situation like this is sort of it's own little mini-galaxy or star-system, but instead of heavy science being applied here it's more of a simple explanation of "this world considers itself to be much more than just one planetary object and has extended it's world barrier to encompass more than one planetary object". So that's another possibility for worlds like Deep Space, it's simply a section of space/The Lanes Between/The Ocean of Stars that has a larger barrier around itself so that the "world" actually encompasses more planetary objects and spaceships and whatnot. I don't know what would be a much more "sciency" explanation for this phenomenon in terms of KH physics, other than the meta-explanation that "because this movie's events take place on more than just one planet, the 'world' itself needs to consist of more than just one planet for the events to be recreated". So for Stitch's world, it would consist of Eeee-Arth/Earth (or at least he Hawaii part of it), the Deep Space outside of it, the space ship that he was originally held in, and any of the various planets/asteroids/objects that were relevant to the story and setting of the movies, and that's it. Those planets you saw were probably just some of those "relevant planets" that the world wouldn't let you explore cause you're already involved enough and likely aren't other Disney worlds that haven't been discovered yet (I really doubt one of those was secretly Agrabah or something). Hopefully all this provides you with some headcanon to consider if you were hoping for more possibilities as to how all the worlds work. But I think the bottom line is that we don't have to overthink things too much for this kind of a setup, as that would usually lead to either headaches or artificially generating plot-holes that were probably never there to begin with. Or to paraphrase a popular riffing show, if you want to know where worlds begin or end, and other science facts, just say to yourself "it's just a game, I should really just relax".

What the Master said. Also, lol, I don't think anyone ever tries to misunderstand something "on purpose", they just misunderstand. But yeah, hopefully that clears things up.

Aqua, but Terra could use some luck against Xehanort too, I mean not having control over your own body just ain't fun. Though Pete probably could use more luck himself considering his track record. X)"

I'm biding my time for the Switch, since right now I'm trying to save up money to gather together a Roxas cosplay. As far as Breath of the Wild goes, I always intended to get that for Wii U first anyway, since it's the last great game made for that console, I feel like I owe it that much. One last hoorah.

As long as Graff and Pontac aren't writing for it, I think we'll be just fine. But then again, you never know. Iizuka wanted to keep the Wisps, maybe he still wants to keep his favorite writing staff around too, even though they can't write for anything that isn't Happy Tree Friends.

Digging that new remix, and I am for one happy to see them sticking to their promises to pursue quality over a speedy release. And it really seems like they're letting this dev team work in better conditions too, since it sounds like it's already developing at such a steady pace. Really at this point the only other thing I could ask for from this game is if they could just make Classic Amy a new playable character. I know, I know, it's a bit of a stretch, but honestly I feel like it'd be another great new thing to throw into the game to add more of a challenge, especially since about 60% of the game is reinvented classic stages anyway, so playing through them with a "new" character would make everything even fresher than it already is. Plus, I'm really curious how they would go about a playable Classic Amy. I mean, they would have to make up a lot of new sprites for her, but considering all the new animations they've given Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, I don't think that's too tall an order for them. At the very least it would make some nice DLC or even a completion bonus, just don't make it as ridiculously unreasonable as Sonic Advance 2's unlock conditions (my poor thumb...).

Mere words can't express how excited I am for this now. I was already anticipating it with hope before, but now I'm actually hyped! The legacy of Unleashed is back baby! This is honestly what they should have done from the beginning after Generations, just stick to a style that works and keep refining and adding to it to make it even better with each successive title. I mean that's what they did for the Adventure style gameplay, and that essentially evolved into the Boost formula, and now we've got a triumphant return. I mean, I guess it's fair that they also mixed in some elements and assets of Lost World in there, though I personally would have preferred everything to keep the aesthetic of Generations. Still, it is what it is and it still looks amazing, I can't wait until we can get a more proper resolution later today, and I can't wait to see how the other 2 gameplay styles work under this new Hedgehog Engine 2, and of course getting to hear the vocals to that epic theme. This year is surely going to be one to remember for Sonic the Hedgehog!

See? What'd I tell you guys? Now we can just look forward to the English version releasing in more than a week.

Yes a primarily orchestrated soundtrack would be perfect for KH3, though I'd also like to hear some other styles in there for themes that are befitting them, such as techno or rock stuff for places like the Big Hero 6 world. In any case, this soundtrack should have the most life and most variety of any KH game so far.

I'm sorry, WHAT!? What the heck, why aren't American game stores offering this bonus, I just canceled my Gamestop pre-order just so I could get SE's pin and get the PS4 theme from the PS store download!.....on second thought, go ahead, keep it Europe, I really don't want to buy this game 3 times over, just twice is enough. It's just a poster anyway. -_-"

Well, Nomura did say that he got to pick the order of the setlists, and he does consider these concerts as important as a production title, so.... X3"

The smell of freshly baked (chocolate chip) cookies. It always makes me feel like I'm right at home.

I think it's pretty much because of the fact that his theme is kind of a medley of Sora, Roxas, and Ventus' themes already, he just fits in there perfectly. Besides, if you want to conjure up a scenario, maybe it's meant to evoke an imaginary scene of Vanitas fighting all of the other heroes in the medley. As far is it foreshadowing him joining the heroes...ehhhhh well, who's to say, I personally don't see it happening that soon, especially since this would likely still be the same Vanitas that was first split from Ven and is destined to return to the time where they forcibly fuse together again, so he'd still be evil anyway. But who knows what Nomura has planned. Point is though, pretty music.
