I've been waiting for official Nomura art like this to get a good look at all the characters. Mmm, phenomenal. I can't wait for NA to catch up.

I love me some Persona, don't get me wrong, but I have a hard time imagining that translating into a KH game. It'd end up being more like TWEWY than anything else.

I love that he even knows about the meme.

I think an Atlus-based Kingdom Hearts game would be absolutely fascinating. I also don't know if it would be "good" =P. If anything, I'd go with Sucker Punch, because they've nailed the movement-based action aspects combined with RPG-esque skill trees.

Look, pizza is just artificial milk curdles with artificial lab-based protein chunks sprinkled over something that I'm not sure can legally be called "bread". So no, pineapple DOESN'T belong on pizza, unless it's like a Jolly Rancher or something.

I literally just did and got him, but, uh... don't. I'm a terrible person and people should not learn from my example. Go donate to the Red Cross or something which is what I'm going to do to assuage some guilt =P.

Blew most of my jewels, no Seph EX. But my pride might be worth a few bucks. Did get a boosted Tifa and Aerith though, which is nice.

I traveled to France for a few weeks, which was amazing (I typically go once a year or two) but my highlight was definitely my friend's wedding; he and his now-wife have been dating for almost ten years, and it was wonderful to be able to be a part of their celebration and just to get together with so many people I know. Of course, I had to give a speech (I was the best man) which was stupidly nerve-wracking, but I crushed it, so take that!

Nice. Both of them one hit, which is pretty cool, but makes me think they're going to somehow reconfigure HSC's to be less reliant on individual hits =P. Oh well, I'm NA anyway. Sephiroth EX tomorrow... probably.

Yessssss finally a challenge. I hear this one's tough. Although I've got a good turtle setup in case I need it.

DISHONORED. Were we talking about anything else? No? Great! Actually I'll probably wait until a bit later for that one, I was gonna start a KH2 playthrough =P.

Timeless River Donald. HE'S NOT WEARING PANTS.

Yeah, leave it to Nomura and Yasue. Wouldn't feel the same otherwise. Not that it's inherently a bad thing, but consistency in tone (if not in plot =P) is certainly a highlight of Kingdom Hearts.

I'm a sucker for Gems, so I bought the VIP (and good for more mirrors, since I'm low!), but I'm saving all my jewels, so no pulls for me. I'm glad the Gauntlet challenge also has Gems. Soon, Sephiroth... soon...

Sora's the obvious choice. I feel like Roxas would actually be a pretty decent addition, at least in his casual/Twilight Town outfit, since it's a pretty classic Nomura design and he still looks good with his weapons.

Huh, we don't have much of a "bestiary" in KH, so I'm curious to see how these animals are classified. Hopefully since it's an overall game feature (as opposed to content) NA gets it soon after!

I wrote "enough of this, please", but I meant these polls. So far I haven't minded the surprise appearances; they're filling in heretofore unknown pasts of characters that people were hoping to get backstories for anyway, so I don't see the problem.

This is a pretty good falling price deal, since the T5 medal pool is pretty strong, but hold your jewels everyone. Sephiroth EX is coming. Finished the Story Quests. Knew about the twist in advance because people can't keep it to themselves (can't wait to be not-surprised in a few months...) but it's still cool and raises a lot of questions. Super tempted for the Avatar Board, because I'm a sucker for swimming-related things, but I'll probably save my jewels. Because Sephiroth EX.

Irritated that people can't keep spoilers properly tagged.

Generally the library, yeah. I know with Playstation (what I have) I'll get inFamous, Kingdom Hearts and various other great first and third party games that gravitate toward the system. I'm open to plenty of other things, but they don't necessarily have the benefit of the doubt that Sony does when it comes to the library.

In general you want your very first slot to be a general attack buffer; the cap is currently 7, but most commonly available medals do 1 or 2. It looks like you have Piglet, so start with him there. Then you want PSM attack ups (Axel B, Key Art 10, etc.) Then the last slot or two should be your best corresponding medal; ideally these medals will have their guilt (or "special attack bonus") unlocked. For you, looks like either Lexeaus A or Rock Titan are currently your best ones, so that should round it off. Pro tip though, don't get TOO attached to this keyblade; down the line you're going to have a much better Keyblade with power medal focus. Level the keyblade only as much as needed to complete quests, and don't neglect other keyblades.

Honestly, that's a super tough one. They're all great. I think my personal favorite is probably HD2.5 (I was not expecting it to be that badass!) but really, I couldn't pick.

Days, Re:Coded, and 0.2. I don't have Re:Coded, so there's that, but I can't be bothered to go back and collect all those Days Challenge Sigils, though I mean to at some point =P. After my initial playthrough of 0.2 I cycled around and started over again with KH1, so I'll get back to 0.2 in the future. Honestly, 100%ing isn't necessarily hard, although if you struggle with the higher difficulties, it does require multiple playthroughs.

I think this is sort of it; why on earth it's actually called "time travel" is beyond me, and only seems to be in service to a really convoluted set of rules, but functionally it's "use magic to make Xehanorts". It's not like they're traveling into the past, it's just the plot reason to bring back older villain characters. It's just unfortunate that time travel has a certain negative stigma in certain sci-fi/fantasy circles, and even more unfortunate that they felt the need to explain it at all.

I think I'd like to see Closehanded Captain the most. All of the original UX bosses are cool, but 90% of them are robots piloted by smaller Heartless, so that design idea wears thin after a while.
