    Ventus_ got a reaction from EchoFox23* in KH3 rushed?   
    I as well don't believe 'rushed' is an accurate term. 

    With source material to be compared to and no doubt the pressure of Frozen's popularity, it stands to reason that the Disney worlds are the most judged aspects of the game and thusly would monopolize the focus. Not to mention that this is the first installment to incorporate Pixar.

    There is also each world's role in the main plot to consider when constructing them, factors such as world size and content can be dependant on this. 
    I.e Destiny Island's role in BBS vs. KHI vs. CoM vs. 0.2. 
    Destiny Islands have always been more of a backstory world used to as a connection to Sora's, Riku's and Kairi's hearts vs. a world that presently participates in the plot.
    - In KH1, it serves as the point of origin because it's Sora, Riku and Kiari's home and thus the place from which their journey was facilitated. 
    - In CoM, it was represented as a memory of Sora's. 
    - In BBS Destiny Islands isn't playable because it was a short encounter location needed to connect the wayfinder trio to Sora and Riku (Kairi, as is clearly established was still living in her original home word, Radiant Gardens). 
    - In 0.2, Destiny Islands had been trapped in the RoD and I believe it was Aqua's ending up there was her heart's way of reaching out to Sora and perhaps Riku as well. 
    See how that works?
    Sometimes the plot can be adjusted but sometimes it can't. 
    Admittedly, I am a bit worried but will not pass judgment until I play. I've learned my lesson after judging too many films as terrible based on trailers that were, in fact, fantastic when I ended up watching them. Tangled is among them.

    Ventus_ got a reaction from Tyranto Rex in List of Disney worlds you are most looking forward too   
    San Fransokyo (Big Hero 6) - The film has great depth and themes of darkness in the heart and I'm intrigued because this will be the first city-based world other than The World That Never Was and I really like cityscapes. 
    Arendelle (Frozen) -  I find the film overrated because felt the development was lacking, leaving some significant explanations to be desired but I do appreciate the use of Elsa's insecure character as a manipulatable in response to her having a coveted power. Even though it's predictable...literally. It actually was predicted to a tee. Users on KHInsider had this pegged when the film came out and it's inclusion in KH3 mere speculation (BTW, I hadn't found KH13 yet in case this might have gotten me lynched). 
    Montropolis (Monster's Inc.) - To be honest, I don't know what to expect here story-wise, but I like the trio's monster forms.
    The Toy Box (Toy Story) - Again, don't know what story to expect but I appreciate the whole new depth the unique nature of this world offers to the KHverse. It also gives me a sense of nostalgia as I was a big fan of the Toy Story video games. I've played the SNES and PS games as well as the Tiger Electronic. I still own the PS game. 
    Kingdom of Corona (Tangled) - I'm looking forward to Mother Gothal's role primarily because she has such interesting potential. Being centuries old she has the potential to have been around during the Keyblade war, perhaps even as a participating wielder.  
    I'm not a fan of Pirates of the Carribean, I tried to watch the first film on TV once but it failed to obtain my interest and am neutral about Olympus and The Hundred Acre Wood.  
    I am looking forward to more aspects of the Hercules film being introduced and I love Winnie the Pooh but am hoping for a different entrance as the book being damaged is redundant and at this point is reaching.

    I stand slightly corrected as I did not realize the option to disable signature visibility already exists. 
    In that case, though I don't see the point in this debate. Clearly, both ends are already satisfied.

    You might see beside my post that I'm a proud wearer of the "Active Poster" badge - the first of many awards that we'll be adding to KH13. So far, we just have this badge (awarded for making 50 posts) and a badge for adding a KHUX party to the KHUX Party Directory.
    All awards can be seen here: https://www.kh13.com/awards/
    We have a few ideas for future awards, but first, let us know – what awards would you like to see added?

    Ventus_ got a reaction from The Transcendent Key in Riku/Xehanort Parallels   
    I disagree. There is a reason Terra failed the Mark of Mastery exam while Riku passed. 
    To be honest, Terra was a bit of a buffoon, resentful, reckless and gullible. A seeker of darkness, Hook, was easily able to trick him into stealing a trivial fortune, a treasure chest for him. He was able to be manipulated into slaying his master. 

    Riku, on the other hand, while also manipulated into the darkness was so under the pretense of saving Sora and Kairi. 
     
    Terra succumbed to MX while Riku overcame Ansem and learned to wield something of a twilight power in the name of the light.

    It's Mickey's new Keyblade. She probably took it from him because she doesn't have her own Keyblade or the Master Defender with her.

    Ventus_ got a reaction from LostArtis in Dumbo live action trailer   
    This adaption is clearly going in a bit of a different direction from the original animated, most notably in the fact that two children will be essentially taking over Timothy's role and I think it looks adorable. I'm also just over the moon that they're keeping 'Baby Mine'. 
    I'm looking forward to seeing this. 
     
    "Taking place specifically one day after the events of the first film, the story would have involved Dumbo, Timothy Q. Mouse and a host of other baby animals, each of whom represented a different stage of childhood, getting separated in New York City. While trying to find their way back, each character learned how to fix his or her own problems. Dumbo II also sought to explain what happened to Dumbo's father, Mr. Jumbo."

    There is actually a storyboard reel available to view on Youtube:
     
    No thanx to it making a comeback. 
    This film doesn't need a sequel, even to reveal the story of the father and Disney has too many unnecessary sequels already.

    Ventus_ got a reaction from VisitJoan in Roxas Q and A   
    This ^
    Ventus's heart is not what made Sora a wielder in the first place despite the irony of his being officially chosen by the Kingdom Key over Riku after he makes the same declaration made by Ventus against Vanitas, "My friends are my power". 
    Ventus's heart gave him the ability to dual wield because he's essentially two wielders in one.
    Ergo if (I'm so hopeful I almost said 'when') Ventus is revived, Sora will merely lose his ability to dual wield.  He'll still be a wielder of his own keyblade.
    It's the same deal with Roxas. I believe what made him an anomaly and able to co-exist with Sora was that Roxas possessed his own heart which means he'd always wielded from his own heart, not Sora's and thus will be able to continue to once revived as a real person.
