yep! BBS is my number one, Days my second, although it's pretty close. I'm of the rare breed that enjoys Days' story *and* its gameplay tbh

Daaays <333 second favorite KH game

"You, me, and Ven all share the same dream."

sad part is, even when we DO get a release date, then everyone will just complain that it's too far off

Because there's a hate train for every game in the series. Seriously. I have seen hate for each of them. Anyway, I like Re:Coded, personally. (BBS and Days vie for the top of my favorites list overall, if I'm being honest, but I thought Re:Coded was really good for a handheld.) There's some repetition in the gameplay and stages, yeah, but every game does that at some point.

Agreeing with the foreshadowing! The very last frame of the chess set in the trailer showed seven pieces on the good side ("coincidentally" bearing the symbols of the presumed Seven Guardians, Mickey/Sora/Riku/Terra/Ven/Aqua/Kairi), while the bad side had symbols representing most of the Darknesses we've seen and had a total of 12 pieces, if I recall correctly, possibly marking the 12 Darknesses minus the unknown 13th.

I CAN'T EVEN

I agree, it's been my guess that he has more of a window in mind than a solid date, and he hasn't said anything to avoid A) disappointing fans if that release date is pushed back and B) backlash from the fans if said window is too far off (I still anticipate a 2018 release myself, but I'd love to be wrong). He did mention in recent months that the groundwork for the game was laid, which is apparently the hardest part, so that might have also been the "important stage" he was referring to.

The three C's: church, chocolate, and choosing something to give up for Lent. o/

EVERYONE, but especially the BBS trio. Aqua's outfit is probably worn to bits, and Terra needs to continue his quest to mimic Eraqus' wardrobe as much as possible. As for Ven, he's also been wearing the same thing for 12+ years now, so he needs something new -- but mostly I'm just curious whether he'll manage to wear even more layers. 8|;;

Agreed! There were a couple rough spots, but for the most part the Abyss anime was spot on.

Master Xehanort! It'd be cool to hear some of his stories. And I'm not a Keyblade wielder so I wouldn't have to worry about having my body stolen. hopefully...

LOL. The part where he was cussing out the Awoken got me. (this should totally be a voice pack. including the original Dinklebot again >:|! )

ouch

Aw yis, kitty!! Congrats on your cat-to-be! 8D I actually just adopted two cats from a shelter: The tabby is a girl, and her shelter name was Rose but I changed it to Rosa. The white one is a boy, and since he's (coincidentally) all white with a patch of yellow on his head, I decided to name him Cecil. (A double Final Fantasy IV reference, in case anyone's unfamiliar with it.) From my experience, I actually found that male cats are a lot more aloof while females are more cuddly and affectionate, but it could depend on the breed. I've only owned domestic shorthairs, so I can't speak for others. As for a name, I think all the ones you mentioned are great! I might lean towards Makoto, though, it's pretty! But if he does come out with pretty blue eyes, Sora seems fitting, too.

Bayonetta. For the life of me I canNOT understand why it's so popular?? It's a watered down Devil May Cry starring a hypersexualized chick whose battle moves are ridiculous and nothing but further fanservice. The cutscenes are embarrassingly cheesy and the plot is just ???. Very rarely do I give up on a game, but I stopped only a few chapters in and never went back. Resident Evil Outbreak. I am a HUGE fan of the RE series, but as many times as I've tried, I can't get into Outbreak. Stupid and useless AI, a terrible item system, zero instructions as to where you're meant to go, and a "live" menu system even when you're offline (also, online play is terrible). Assassin's Creed Revelations. There were some parts I liked, but this was the game that officially killed my dwindling interest in the series (it took me that long to realize that the gameplay will never change, Ubisoft doesn't care to fix all the glitches, and the plot is a convoluted, make-it-up-as-we-go mess). Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Strong cast, awesome graphics and GREAT promise, but the patches broke the gameplay, the Street Fighter characters were obviously favored and horribly overpowered, there was zero story compared to what the trailers advertised, what little story it did have was often VERY out-of-character, and the team's greedy, please-buy-all-our-DLC-and-Better-Versions tactic ruined my impression of the series for good. And I'm not saying this is a bad game, but Monster Hunter. Any Monster Hunter. I always try the demos and I lose interest at about the same time that I realize I have no idea what I'm doing despite the (useless) tutorials. It's sad, though, because it looks like such a good series and I want to get into it.

Xehanort! I still want to punch him in the teeth, but he's a great villain with a level of complexity that most endgame villains lack.

I'm probably the odd one out in hoping that he'll get "redeemed" in the end -- quotes necessary because while he might not turn around and become an active good guy, I'd like for him to take his failed plans in stride and kind of fade to the back as a neutral character. Kind of a "welp, there went that plan, I really have nothing else to live for so I'm just gonna chill and live out the rest of my days" thing. How would that even happen? No idea, but Sora's capable of anything, really. Time for a shounen hero speech!

Agreed

...point in time where two dudes can't be really close without everyone going HMMMMMMMMM

@Rocketboy I recognize those names as being from ATLA, but I'm afraid I'm utterly unfamiliar with it. |D I'll take your word for it, though, lol. Going back to Axel and Roxas, though, I don't think there's anything odd about those novel excerpts; some of it's phrased a little odd, yeah, but it IS the POV of a guy struggling with emotions he thinks he's incapable of having, so it's probably meant to be kind of broken up and odd. We've really just hit a...

...I seriously doubt Nomura had those intentions. :\ The controversy of homosexuality in a kid-based game aside, Axel's nearly 30. Roxas is less than a year old, or 15 if you want to judge him by his physical appearance. That's a huge, huge no for ANY audience.

I feel like the fact that most people here don't know the show really shows my age. X'D But my thoughts are along the lines of KH YOU BETTER PUT IT IN THERE IN A FUTURE GAME

If it's fake, all right. If it's legit, all right. That thing's a bit ugly, yeah, but I haven't seen nearly enough to make a judgment call. I wonder why there's always this "IS NINTENDO SERIOUSSSSSSSSSSSS" bandwagon that the world loves to bring up every time a new console comes out.

ah, yes, I do recall that wave. and it only got worse with the announcement of the RE2 remake, which will be interesting to see the haters and fanboys tear each other apart over.
