I don't know why I find this so funny
Hahahaha, it is very funny. Reminds me of those, by now obscured, times when Disney still had hand drawn cartoons intended to entertain instead of today's crappy CGI preschool shows.

Nomura's projects will occupy him until 2019, & new game projects next year (not necessarily KH-related)
I hope a new TWEWY, KH3DHD, CHI, and a new FF, are not too much. I mean, wouldn't it be better to focus on KHIII in order to PREVENT it from becoming the next FFXV?

Will Sora Lose His Keyblade?
He wasn't intended to get the keyblade by inheriting it, but the keyblade in its true form (Kingdom Key) itself chose him.

What do you think of the new "Introducing the magic" trailer for HD 2.5 ReMIX?
Yeah it's working from my Apple. Ah, I see. Yeah, I was hoping they would release an update for PS4 to make it load PS3 titles. I'll still wait before buying a PS4 because I hope they come up with a slim version.

@atheist123 (for some reason I can't enter quotes while using a windows PC) Why? You should definitely give it a try. It's even available as cheap as 20 bucks in a greatest hits edition. Maybe you should get it with 2.5

Defeating Xehanort for good was in fact easy!
I was thinking and I realized that in DDD we already had the chance to defeat Xehanort once and for all! I'm serious! If Riku had killed Young Xehanort, he would not have been able to return back in time and grow into old Xehanort. Therefore he wouldn't have been there to become Apprentice Xehanort and also there would have been no Ansem and Xemnas. Or does this fall into one of the two time travel theories: * If you return back in time to tell your grandfather not to go where he would meet your grandmother, and they would never meet - theoretically you would cease to exist. BUT as you have existed once, how can you go back in time and tell your gramps NOT to go there? Therefore you basically create a parallel universe! * The second theory suggests that even if you travel back in time to prevent, say a window from being broken, some other event would break it. The theory says that everything is laid out in a straight and preset universe and even going back in time does not change anything because the outcome is set and we can only move towards one final destination. -> This also sounds familiar, right? Destiny cannot be changed is one of the Time-Nort rules, right? What do you think? Will the heroes in III defeat Young Xehanort and therefore end all the north? And how would this affect Ven as Vanitas would never have been born? Aqua and Terra and Eraqus who would have has their happily ever after in the LoD? Sora and Riku who never would have set out to save the world? Kairi who never would have left Radiant Garden? NAmine and Roxas who never would have been born? Same for Xion. No Heartless and Nobodies and Dreameaters. No darkness would have threatened the worlds and Mickey and Donald and Goofy would never have left their Castle... Now that would be one shitty ending for KHIII, eh?

What do you think of Terra's cape appearing HD 2.5 ReMIX Birth by Sleep?
I think it looks like it was folded up in the neck-part of the Armor. Like they can unfold it when they want to look cool but store it when traveling. It's armor. And it does look like it pops out of some pocket back there. Like those Jackets where a hood is curled up and hidden in the collar, know what I mean? Anyway, I don't think it makes a difference because a FULL-BODY armor that is stored inside a 1 foot sized device on the shoulder and activates and magically envelopes the whole body, is not realistic in the first place. PLUS: It makes this epic cape sound, so I love it haha.

Metal Anthems, bros
Oh no you're perfectly right! I agree. For the anthem, it's just one of these things that just happened to be chosen back then and it doesn't really need to be changed. Austria for example had this huge controversy because they changed their Anthem. this anthem praised the country's great sons (as in people but they just used sons as a common plural for all people) but then they changed it to include daughters as well. This is just stupid to me because it was meant in the sense of 'children' back then. So they had this recent controversy because some people would not sing the new version, no one knows the lyrics anymore and the government made the new version mandatory. You see, the people who came up with the original version are dishonored by the new one because they didn't mean to be offensive towards women but it was just not common to genderize things back then and sons meant 'everyone who did great things'. That's just stupid to change that. They had better look at the historical context there. I dunno if that's true, though, got that from history class.

What do you think of Terra's cape appearing HD 2.5 ReMIX Birth by Sleep?
I think it's great! They show that they care about that inconsistency and they opened up a whole new possibility to view the KH series: Armor has a cape that can be used at will or stowed away while traveling. That also explains the Capes appearing in KHII Secret movies and BbS opening. And maybe even the Keyblades can store the keychains for smoother battling The only thing inconsistent remains is Ven becoming right-handed after KHII (made more sense for the dual wielding theory) and his Keyblade changing shape with the blade teeth facing the other way.

Is there any chance that X could have other featured worlds
Yeah, that makes not sense at all. I was wondering about that myself. Donald / Goofy shouldn't exist either. And Snow White's story happened all over again in BbS. So they CAN'T make it canon as a whole but just take some elements from it like the prophecy.

Timeline and Chronology in CHI?
I still don't get how Chi's time chronology makes sense. Theoretically it's supposed to feature the Masters and wielders of the past right? So all new Characters and masters make sense. But how can the recent Disney characters be included? Like the princesses or Donald and Goofy? As I don't assume they were just frozen in time, they must have time traveled there? And IF CHI is canon, how do they explain that with Snow White, for example, they story happened although it has happened the exact same way in Birth By Sleep? I don't think she would have eaten the apple twice?? I don't see how they are going to make tho stile fit into the series up to KHIII WITHOUT introducing some new mind-glowingly stupid techniques like DDD did. [Time travel for example]

Is there any chance that X could have other featured worlds
I think they want to include all worlds with the 7 princesses. So far we have Daybreak Town Dwarf Woodlands - Snow White Agrabah - Jasmine Wonderland - Alice Olympus Coliseum but they also had some data for Beasts Castle - Belle Enchanted Dominion - Aurora Castle of Dreams - Cinderella So I think they might include Radiant Garden - Kairi and for the story Destiny Islands - Xehanort

Metal Anthems, bros
Sorry if it came across that way. I did not mean to offend you and I did not mean to say you offended nations. I was just saying that generally people (not just you) think that the US anthem has pointless violence in it but the history of the anthem (and the flag) do explain where this comes from. I DO agree that some of our methods, like having kids do the pledge of allegiance every morning, our plain indoctrinating and I totally agree that the anthem is too violent for some kids - why? because they are too small to understand the complicated outcomes of the war of 1812, and some historical topics in general. Sorry, I repeat that I did not mean to blame you for anything. I just get very upset with this image people have of the US as a stupid, fat ignorant nation that recklessly invades other countries and territories. And while this is even TRUE to a certain extend, and really bad things happened in the past of this nation (Indian removals, slavery, annexations, wars, espionage etc.) the Nation is truly based on a concept of FREEDOM and PEACE, the opposites of what people think. If you read the founding documents, you'd be surprised by how tolerant and proactive the founding fathers were back then. History is a HUGE subject and I'm still a kid myself and cannot understand all of history, so I apologize for my own mistakes. For the 21st century: Yes, I do think it is important to spread good cheer. But here in the States we have zillions of songs doing just that [America the Beautiful, God Bless America etc] so I think it's important to KEEP those original songs in honor of the people back then. We can't just get rid of the constitution just because it is not written like people nowadays would, you see? The danger of people not knowing where they came from, and people not knowing their rights leads in others suppressing them. That's what happened in World War II. So I do believe that upholding connections to certain things is mandatory. [Here, the founding documents are as crucial to the country as the Bible] So sorry again for my heady tirade but I do believe history matters. And my sincerest apologies for offending you, I hope we can become friends nonetheless. That's not a bad thing, I guess?! Haha Sorry dude, didn't mean to be like that. Just spreading some US history.

Metal Anthems, bros
And I'm terribly sorry if I offended you with that. It is just very important to me to point out that the historical backgrounds do matter. I have no problem with jokes or the like on these topics, but especially in humorous topics, these things MUST be handled with care. It is MOST important to understand the historical backgrounds and contexts before even just joking about it because these things - ignorance of history - have led up to major hustle and mayhem in the 20th century! And I'm NOT saying this discussion is of ANY importance to world history or political developments but I just want to raise awareness that there is more to most things and some answers are hidden in the history of these texts.

There's been some BAD handling of old-time media by contemplate companies, like Disney shutting down their 2D department, or their pretending Song of the South never happened. Or them trying to get rid of classic fairy tale stories (Frozen, Maleficent) It's OK to have media that is offensive because it FEATURES the "slave" the "weak woman" or the "naive prince" because that;s how people thought back in times these tropes result in. While it's important to draw a line that says EQUALITY AND FREEDOM are important - slavery IS wrong! These are UNIVERSAL truths but people BACK THEN didn't think so. So there's nothing wrong with portraying people who thought like that back in their original contexts. It does not contradict the fact that certain things were wrong and redefined in history's course. Like there's nothing wrong with portraying a world where the people thought the Earth was a disc. People didn't always know it's a sphere. we KNOW it is now, but back then they didn't. So why should we restrict our media to display ANY views that convey that as long as it is within the right CONTEXT! See where I'm getting at? No, I'm not offended. I just wanted to point out that it IS important to know where things come from before I complain. Even if it is a joke. Because It helps to understand the backgrounds and reasons of people back then.

Metal Anthems, bros
Oh come on, that IS disrespectful. You have to tak into account these anthems are OLD and you have to look at them within their historical context. America's anthem is based on a text that was authored during the war of 1812. Basically it describes the joy Americans felt when they saw that their flag (star spangled banner) was still waving after an important fort was under attack. Hence, it was waiving despite rockets and bombs attacking the, then young, nation. You see, it has nothing to do with the US bombarding other nations! I'm not going into detail here but please, do consider that there is more to the origins of these anthems than meets the eye. I don't know which country you are from, but please be respectful toward other nations. Don't get me wrong, I do not at all approve of some US interventions lately but the nation's birth truly is an avant-garde example of freedom and enlightenment that resulted in many European nation copying them (for the good). Take this from a US history honors student. It took me so long to type this, I missed you are from Australia. Sorry about that. Oh COME ON! The world nowadays is more like that than just America. Ever heard of globalization? Anyway, I think a CLASSIC anthem is great, because most people and companies in modern times tend to get rid of the old and replace it with new. I think it's GREAT they do not replace the anthem or the constitution with creations that seem more appropriate for modern times. That's what history is there for: EDUCATE people where they came from, how things led up to where we/ state of affairs are now and also WHY and HOW things worked back then. If we replaced all OLD things, we would be lost! Also, I do not see anything wrong with offensive media, as long as it is handled in the right context and does not offend anyone personally or infringe freedom.

New Aspect ration in 2.5 and 2.5's perfection
I doubt 1.5 and 2.5 delayed III by much. I think a DDD HD ReMIX would delay III even more and that's what's most likely gonna happen. And I'm not even mentioning the efforts they put in CHI. Seriously, I'd rather not have another game until KHIII. The ReMIXes were a great idea but they better stick to the plan now.
