the Riku Replica shouldn't come back, imo. he served his story purpose in CoM and there's no reason to drag him into KH3. we've got enough duplicates as it is. and idk how they're planning on bringing Xion back when she's just a replica with no set appearance. at least from what i understand. doesn't her appearance change based on who is looking at her and how the memories inside her relate to them? and it's not like she still exists in some form right? i mean at least Roxas is still inside Sora so you could sort of see how they could bring him back since there's something left of him. Xion just up and vanished. not that the story will let any of this stop it, i'm sure. no doubt everyone will return and the Key to Return Hearts will just poof their new hearts back into existence, now that it's pretty clear the series is saying anything can grow a heart.

i did. mostly because there's not much to really think about since we know so little about it. every now and then someone mentions it and then i think "oh yea, that thing."

i got all the games that came in 1.5 and 2.5 but i could never be bothered to 100% Days, Re:Coded or DDD (maybe when i own the remaster). Days and Re:Coded just weren't fun games to go back to and with DDD i just never felt like going for it.

15 struck me as a very average or mediocre game i think i was only compelled to 100% it because it seemed like an easy enough task. out of the few main FF games i've played, 15 was definitely the one i enjoyed least.

sora. i mean this is his story and that'd suck if he got kicked to the curb so someone else could steal the show. and besides, TAV had their chance and they blew it.

nomura could have easily set up KH3 by relying on the fact that destroying a person's Heartless and Nobody brings them back. Sora destroyed Xehanort's Heartless and Nobody in KH1 and KH2, so the obvious move would have been to just bring back Xehanort as a whole person for KH3 and have him finished off for good there. idk why he thought introducing time travel would be a good idea as it only really complicates things. it seems as though he really only wrote it in just to serve as a means to an end where we get 13 Xehanorts. the rules of KH time travel all seem to exist specifically to serve someone only if they had the intention of collection multiple versions of themselves for some reason. i guess he tried to not have time travel break the series by writing very specific rules. it was a dumb move and i just hope it doesn't return in KH3.

i always just saw the FF cameos in KH as nothing more than just cameos. whatever backstory they had in their respective FF game is usually dropped to fit the role they get in KH. at most, we usually get references to the FF game they came from but that's about it.

original VAs or don't do it at all. VAs help to form the identity of a character.

i'm gonna say it'd be a bad thing. too many keyblades already, imo

now that DLC is a thing there's no reason for them to rerelease the game with additional content and only for certain regions. if anything once any major DLC is out we might get a complete edition called "Final Mix" just to keep with the traditional naming scheme.

i play based on released order since that was the order the story was written in.

"roxas is a garbage character that no one cares about'

xemnas for dat silky smooth voice and calm but intimidating demeanor

i think it's just part of the look for the toys, tbh

at least that steelbook makes for a good case to hold the 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 PS4 collections

it's definitely been there from the beginning, but honestly i'm glad they never really dove into a romantic relationship between the two of them. i don't think the series would be able to handle a bad romantic subplot. it's better to keep it unspoken imo

i hope we get some cover art that isn't the main characters on a white backdrop like we've been getting. something more in line with KH1 or KH2's style would be cool. in fairness the HD Remix covers are also good, imo

in Re:CoM, Sora goes off on this speech about why Namine shouldn't cry and how it would break his promise to her and then Donald just rolls his eyes and says "Oh brother...That's a bit much isn't it?" love how they just call Sora out on that. also the scene in KH2 after you first fight Cerberus and the door is closing, Sora, Donald and Goofy all make faces at him. idk but i always thought that scene was funny just because of how ridiculous it was.

i wouldn't be against a map style like R&C:CiT. idk if having the actual routes feature Sora in Keyblade armor would work though because it seems like you'd have less moves at your disposal as opposed to the Gummi Ship. a larger map that can be explored like CiT would be fine and if the missions are just more like the KH2 gummi routes then i'd be completely OK with that.

Port Royal had "mild blood" and "Use of Alcohol" so yea that's what I always assumed.

i think DDD was supposedly rushed, but other than that i think all the games have been developed within a fair amount of time. now whether or not they used that time wisely is up for debate because i think BBS could have really axed the Mirage Arena in favor of sprucing up the worlds and characters.

make it stop

because the fans demanded it. didn't you know the two most anticipated cross-over movies in cinema were The Avengers and Tom and Jerry go to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory?

is this that manga that was advertised in the Tokyo Pop runs of the KH manga? i remember seeing ads when i was little for another Disney manga with the princesses and wondering what is was.

"A Fight to the Death" is great because it's only used once in the game so when it kicks on you know you're in for something great. "Darkness of the Unknown" is another one that gets you pumped, especially the final phase of the song. it doesn't try to be bombastic or wild with it's instruments. it fits well with the idea of a straight 2v1 fight with no crazy final forms. Xemnas is just Xemnas in the final fight and it's just Sora and Riku against him.
