In order for a Nobody to be created, a Heartless must be born first. Kairi's heart was within Sora's body, so when Sora turned into a Heartless, two Nobodies were created: Roxas and Namine. In the Secret Ansem Reports in KH2, it is stated that Namine came from both Sora and Kairi. Sora had three hearts within him at that time: his own, Ventus' and Kairi's. When Sora stabbed himself with the Keyblade of People's Hearts, Ventus' heart did not leave as it still needed healing. So Ventus' heart stayed with Sora's body, which became the person we know as Roxas. This is why Roxas looks like Ventus, because Roxas had Ven's heart. Namine takes on the appearance of Kairi, since she is her Nobody but doesn't look exactly like her since Kairi's body wasn't used. Hope I helped.
 
I can't really blame your friend for being confused cause this is... well Kingdom Hearts.

You can't compare the development cycle of PS2 and handheld games to a PS4 game

GUYS. DO YOU SEE WHAT I’M GETTING AT HERE? WITH EVERY MAIN GAME ANNOUNCED, THE WAIT TIME BETWEEN THE RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE ACTUAL RELEASE OF THE GAME HAS BEEN THREE TO FOUR MONTHS.
 
WITH KINGDOM HEARTS II, THEY HAD A RELEASE WINDOW IN SIGHT IN MAY 2005, WITH THE RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED  FIVE MONTHS LATER.
 
IN JUNE 2015, KINGDOM HEARTS III SET A RELEASE WINDOW. NOVEMBER 2015 IS FIVE MONTHS AFTER THIS. IF WE GET THE RELEASE DATE THIS NOVEMBER, OUR WAIT TIME COULD BE AROUND THREE TO FOUR MONTHS FROM THEN, WHICH MAKES FOR A FEBRUARY MARCH 2016 RELEASE DATE.
 
WE REALLY COULD BE GETTING KINGDOM HEARTS III WINTER 2016!!!

I do definitely hope 'Winter 2016' means February and not December.

FFXV? What's that? Is it the sequel to the VII remake?

We're all so hyped over the KH3 E3 2015 trailer and news that we've completely forgotten that FFXV even exists lol. Don't forget that FFXV is getting another big reveal at gamescom this year which starts in early august (5th i believe). The release date will probably be given at this event. 

Lea is watching.
 

 
On topic, great advance on adding same sex relationships on a game.
 
Now we need polyamorous relationships.
 
Skittsoul needs this feature in games

Please do NOT fight and flame each other. I stress and I mean STRESS the need to report any rude remarks or ignorance before it gets outta hand. Especially if you are staff you should also know better. You represent the site so please act like it! We are a very loving and ACCEPTING community here so any of this is unacceptable.This thread will be watched. 

I absolutely love that there are both Yaoi and Yuri versions of the game. (Unsure why there need to be multiple versions in the first place, but still, lol.)

Depending on the version you get, there'll either be a male/male option or a female/female option, and by the sounds of it a third version of the game will offer both?
This is a nice little step FE has taken, and I imagine it'll make a few people happy, so yay
 

Ok, so I've been meaning to make this topic for quite some time. While I have stated my wishes on this topic and my reasoning in other topics, these were only in the form of replies/comments. I decided it was about time I made a topic on this and gave ALL my reasoning and thoughts on this subject. You might recognise some from a Youtuber known as 'Frustrated Jacob'.
 
Now please note before I start that I fully respect other people's opinions as I know that there are some of you who disagree with me.  Please do not take any offence from what I say in this topic. However, every time I've seen/heard someone say that they do not wish multiple playable characters in KH3, they have never given any good reasoning. Which is why I will first tackle some, if not all, these reasons and say why I disagree with the reason. Without further ado, let's begin:
 
1. "Kingdom Hearts 3 should only have Sora as a playable character because this is his time to shine."
 
My Response: Sora has had his time to shine in Kingdom Hearts 1, Chain of Memories, 2 and Dream Drop Distance. What about the other characters? What about Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Xion, Namine, Terra, Aqua, Ventus and Lea? Some of these characters barley had any time to shine compared to Sora. Ever since Chain of Memories, this hasn't been about Sora only. While Sora does need some character development as he hasn't had much compared to the others (except for Chain of Memories, which was amazing) the others deserve as much, especially Kairi.
 
At this point, I don't think Sora should even be the one to defeat Xehanort. You know why? Because Sora has never met nor even seen the guy once.. at all. Sora has no personal relationship with Xehanort. He has no reason to battle him except for the fact that 'HE'S THE BAD GUY!' Just look at the others: Terra, Aqua and Ventus had their lives torn apart by the old man, Lea got his best friend taken away from him to become a vessel, Roxas was used by his Nobody without even knowing who he is or where he came from, Riku has had a conflict with his Heartless, Kairi is probably pissed at the guy for preventing her from spending time with her boyfriend. You see where I'm getting at here? What does Sora have? I mean Xemnas made fun of him a little in DDD... Yeah, not enough. Sure, he had his friends taken away, but it's not as personal as the others I've mentioned. The best Sora's had against an enemy was in COM against Marluxia. He was torturing the sweet, innocent Namine so much as to crucifying her in the manga. And look at Sora's face after defeating him. He has no sympathy or remorse whatsoever. Just anger because of what he did to Namine. Sure he didn't know her, but his fake memories of her were still what drove him forward. That's what the others have, something to drive them forward against Xehanort. Let me ask a question. In the final world in DDD, which seemed more story driven and included development with their respective characters? Sora or Riku?
 
2. "Kingdom Hearts 3 should have only Sora playable because it's a numbered title. So the trend must go on."
 
I'm sorry. but I really don't see the logic behind this, at all. Kingdom Hearts 2 (a numbered title) already had multiple playable characters (just for a little while) so that 'trend' was never there to begin with.
 
3. "We could have other characters playable but only in small segments, like Riku at the end of KH2."
 
Now this has some good reasoning, well, compared to the others in my opinion. Riku and Mickey in Kingdom Hearts 2 were playable yes, but only in limited moments. What was also limited was their abilities. They both had only three abilities: Jump, Dark Aura or Pearl and Attack. Wow what a variation! (Note the sarcasm). You're telling me that you want these segments with that limited amount of things to do? The segments shouldn't exist at all. They should be playable wherever we want and whenever we want. They need to have their own stats, levels and abilities just like Sora. Having so little to do with characters doesn't really make them as fun as if they had the capacity as Sora.
 
4. "Their stories could be only in cutscenes."
 
Really? Let's say there's this awesome spectacular battle between two characters, let's say Lea and Isa (perfect). Would you rather simply see it in a cutscene or would you rather actually be part of the battle and play as Lea to make the battle a more immersive experience? I think the latter has the upper hand here. Another perfect example was the the battle between Roxas and Sora in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix (specifically). The battle was SO much better when they made Roxas an actual boss battle! And lookie there! the cutscene was still there! Why not have both cutscene and playable experience. The same thing goes for simply exploring through the world instead of having characters simply appearing in one place and appearing in the next through simple cutscenes. It's better if you actually explore the world yourself and take control of the character. Let me give an example. A what-if scenario. Let's say you're playing Kingdom Hearts 2 and you're in The World that Never Was. You're on your way to the top... only through cutscenes. Wouldn't you rather run and fight you're way through it and feel a sense of accomplishment?
 
5. "If we had multiple playable characters, then we'd have to play different story lines one after the other like in Birth By Sleep."
 
Who says it has to be like Birth By Sleep? They can just as easily make it like Dream Drop Distance, except without the drop meter. They can simply have Sora, Donald and Goofy go through a certain number of worlds while Kairi and Lea go through a number of worlds that the other group haven't gone through yet. Example: Sora goes to Twilight Town while Kairi goes to Radiant Garden. Sure there's a limit, but no time limit. We can have a team of Sora, Riku and Kairi and you can switch between these characters mid-combat with the simple push of L2 or R2 (or the Xbox One's respective buttons). "But that's too much, that's not something that we've seen in other KH games." And to that I say: Every single Kingdom Hearts game has introduced multiple gameplay functions that other KH games do not have. Just look at Kingdom Hearts 2! This game had SO many things you could do that Kingdom Hearts 1 didn't have: Limits, Reaction Commands, changing party members at will, Drive Forms and Keyblades having their own abilities. Kingdom Hearts 3 is two generations ahead of Kingdom Hearts 2, so it's definitely going to have a lot more gameplay functions than Kingdom Hearts 2. Further proving this is the fact that Tetsuya Nomura stated in a very recent interview that KH3 will have more worlds than KH2. I rest my case.
 
Now finally, I'm going to say this which doesn't apply to this last question (#5) so think of this as a number six but with no quote. This is a message to all those who disagree with me. Again, please take no offence as I mean to give none of that.
 
This is Kingdom Hearts 3! This is going to be a climactic battle of epic proportions between seven heroes and thirteen villains and you want to stay stuck in Sora's big shoes? If Sora was the only one playable then that would mean that either:
 
a) The others fight in cutscenes, which ruins the experience as I stated earlier.
 
or
 
b) Sora kicks everyone's butt, which completely defeats the purpose of having seven lights to begin with.
 
We need to play as all these characters and finish what they started, especially Terra, Aqua and Ventus. Their story is not over and the same goes for the others. It is their destiny to fight against Xehanort and finish this once and for all!
 
Kingdom Hearts 3 needs multiple playable characters. It's a must! Enough said!
 
Do you agree? Do you still disagree? Do you have a reason, one that makes sense at least? If so, leave a reply.

GamesRadar has posted an article where Testuya Nomura confirms that the basic foundation for Kingdom Hearts III is nearly complete. Nomura confirms mini-games, and the current stage of development for the game. You can read Nomura's response below.

I didn't think it was possible to be more excited. You proved me wrong, thank you

After seeing the e3 2015 trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3, I was really interested and excited about our first look at young master Eraqus that I started working on a drawing of him. I'll probably upload the finished one to the gallery once I'm done.

"One world, one SKY"
That's all I got... I just assumed they did it because it looked pretty. 

Well Sora means Sky in japanese, that might have something to do with it

because of the constant themes of exploring new places, which the sky represents, especially in KH where the sky is full of new worlds to explore
