First, let me clarify that I consider the beginning of the KH games to be everything before the point when you can freely travel between worlds. Some of my thoughts: Opening/Cutscenes For the "Summary Music Video" I honestly would love a 6min+ song with lyrics and a video highlighting moments from every KH game except KH3. Then, after you beat the game you unlock a longer version including highlights of KH3. Of course it would be hard to make a good song that long but it's possible. For Cutscenes, I wouldn't mind some long ones in the beginning as long as they're spaced out and there is at least twice as much gameplay for every cutscene. Tutorials/Easy part Most people(including myself) would like Kairi and Lea to be playable for when we are being taught the controls. I think a flashback sequence where we play as young Eraqus and Xehanort would be good to go along with that teaser shown earlier. Even before all that we could possibly be set into the shoes of an entirely new original character(maybe an acquaintance of someone in the old or new Org XIII) so that we get that same sense of wonder as we did playing as Roxas in KH2. Also, I wouldn't mind there being a big gap before we first play as Sora. As the beginning of the game will have less battles, they should have characters speaking important dialogue while your controlling a character in order to cut down on cutscenes. What do you guys think? Should the opening song be super short? Should we get to play as Sora right at the start? Should sea salt ice cream replace potions? Give me any of your thoughts on this.

I agree with the second theory that Vanitas is trapped in Sora's heart. Vanitas and Ventus seemed to have merged in BBS and, with Aqua and Ventus fighting back, Ventus gained control and moved his heart (along with Vanitas') to Sora. I think Vanitas has yellow eyes simply cause his heart is pure darkness. Whether he was half-Xehanort back in BBS is a mystery but when he returns he will definitely be a Darkness since he was Xehanort's original choice for forging the X-blade.

Imma let u finish but...Skitty is the cutest Pokemon ever. *Drops mic

Roxas, Xion, and Axel don't actually like Sea Salt ice cream

The biggest thing I want is improved combat. Don't get me wrong, I love the battles systems in this series but I'd like more complexity to it. Things like: button combos, charged attacks, being able to break out of a combo, smoother flowmotion transitions, being able to be knocked to the floor or into a wall instead of always landing on your feet, temporary command fusing like in CoM, etc Of course they would also have to make the AI appropriately responsive to the new combat too. Should have some kind of big multiplayer component. Also, as much playtime with different playable characters as possible(especially Kairi, Riku and Aqua!!) with each character having vastly different abilities. Having these things would definitely give KH3 great replay value.

...but I like the way he wiggles his fingers!

I like it plus I played it before BBS so I really enjoyed the command deck.

I don't think they'll do the "Riku takes a blow for Sora" thing since it already happened in KH2(and they emphasized it in DDD's opening). If Riku were to die I would say it would be more along the lines of Riku realizing that Sora will die in the process of killing Xehanort so Riku puts up a barrier or something and finishes Xehanort while dying in the process. Riku could even steal back the Kingdom Key since it was originally his responsibility. Even then, It would be more suitable for Terra to sacrifice himself while killing Xehanort since he still has to redeem himself. PLUS my tears would never stop if Riku died! EDIT: Nicely written btw. It's very sad and it really captures the characters personalities and how they would react IF that happened.

I liked that they pulled out their keyblades in the last panel.

I believe that they were just avoiding showing Aqua's new appearance so that it would be more meaningful when revealed in KH3. That said, I do think that time flows differently in the RoD and RoL for two reasons: 1. In terms of the story it would be interesting having TAV be around the same age as the other main characters( though Terra is mostly likely to be significantly older given his situation). 2. In DDD, Riku and Joshua talk about how different worlds have different time axis' so that should apply to the RoL and RoD too. We know that about 12 years in the RoL have passed since Birth by Sleep. I would like to think that 1 month in the RoD = 1 year in the RoL which would mean Aqua will be about 1 year older. I'm going with this since, symbolically, it would parallel with how Riku had to spend a year running around after Ansem SoD messed him up in KH1. Also in "Blank Points", Aqua says twice that it has been really long since she was in the RoL which is why I doubt a few mintutes in the RoD could equal days/weeks in the RoL. So in KH3 I expect Aqua to have really long hair(about 1 years worth).

The Pokemon die too. Just like how the trainer faints whenever all their Pokemon faint in the games.

The Wind Waker is a baton called "The Wind Waker". Yeah seriously, you can even see it from the trailers. All the enemies just gather around waiting to get killed. I've played a few hours of one of the Warriors games and it stops being fun pretty quickly. Not to mention, the Zelda characters seem overpowered compared to standard Warriors characters but maybe they might make it more enjoyable than the others...maybe.

I do wanna see some more stuff from it just to get more hyped but I do really hate spoilers. Seeing bits of the game out context really kills the mood and changes how you see things before even playing. Although you should wait until it releases somewhere before you avoid the internet because stopping after 2.5 still leaves a few years before KH3.

That gets me every time :'D

Thanks

Where are these pictures from?

Terra is most likely since he messed up big time in BbS so him sacrificing himself to take out a few Darkness-es (or Xehanort himself) would be fitting. Riku is also possible since he has developed the most of all the characters so his death would be most devastating. Any new characters could fall too.

"What is wrong with you people?!" -Sora

Sora will temporarily have all the heroes hearts inside him and wield 13 keyblades at once which he'll stab into xehanort. So it'll technically be everyone but really just Sora doing the work.

Yeah, I've been feeling the same way! It was easy going from KH1 to KH2 since the 1st outfit was weird and they just needed to add a lot of black. Though I have faith in Nomura since the KH3D designs were cool. Maybe Sora and Riku(and Kairi?) a crest like the BBS trio.

I hope you don't have to switch out party members any more so you can use it in any situation. I think Drive Forms would be pretty much the same as KH2 but on a bigger scale.There would be more drive forms and each has its benefits and downsides. Some new benefits could include each form having unique Command Styles, Keyblade Transformations, Shotlocks, Flowmotion moves, Limits etc that you can only access in a particular Form. Also I'd like to choose which keyblades a Drive Form uses even if it only has one keyblade. Lastly, they should make leveling up Forms from normal experience points or at least make it easier like Valor Form so that you won't reach the end of the game with only 1 Form that leveled up.

I think they'll show Sora's maturity by how he reacts when he finally learns what exactly happened to the people he needs to save. Then he'll walk into the final battle wearing the glasses and mustache he wore in KH3D.

They can definitely make both Marvel and Star Wars work. They don't need to use the entire stories or all characters in those universes. As for worlds, Stars Wars could be fit in nicely,otherwise for both they can always make new KH original worlds where they live in like they have done with the Final Fantasy characters.

Did YOU read everything I said? Where did I imply that you were saying everyone should die or shouldn't interact? Anyway, I'm agreeing that death could work in KH3. What I'm saying is that the characters need to interact a lot more than they have in past games for a death told be truly meaningful and even then if it happens too late in the KH3 it won't gives us enough time to really grieve WHILE we're still playing the game. Otherwise, they might as well use something other than death.
