After rewatching it a few times, it does look like this battle is more symbolic of the role of Xemnas in ruining the friendship of Roxas etc and thus forced the battle we saw in KH2. I agree with you about the songs, whilst I do prefer this to Chikai, which I still cannot warm too, it doesn't have the same affect Simple and Clean or Sanctuary had. That being said, the trailer seemed well edited and perhaps flowing normally, the song might change my mind. The eye debate is an interesting one as it propels many theories and could play credit to a few 'leaks'. I'm in the air on this one, whilst the silver eyes did look cool, I like the iconic yellow eyes. My issue is, I want the yellow eyes to remain a Xehanort characteristic and having him a puppet or under the influence of someone else, cough MoM cough, just seems too cliche.

This was confirmed during E3 by Nomura in I think a famitsu interview and Brendan Docherty in various interviews too.

I hope that allusion to Roxas being a darkness and facing Lea is a red herring.

Ended up tracking the information down from a rather helpful fan on twitter, I agree with what we've stated so far and it does seem to be more fan fiction than anything, I mean I'm sure all of us can try and write the final battle one way or another. That being said, I did enjoy aspects of the supposed plot and would not object to those parts. Other than that things seemed a bit on the messy side, even for a KH title. In relation to the leaks etc, it's up to people how they handle them, my stance is 'incorrect, but interesting until proven otherwise.' The difference between the MI leaks and this was credible images and not purely some randomer writing something up.

Cheers Amazon for proper mugging us off...

Not complaining about a new trailer, however I'm hoping the DLC is merely an Amazon keyblade or some skin variation. Anything major prior release and the 'development has finished' message appears diminishes. I'm intrigued what will be shown and what information will be presented. That being said, I do agree with people's reservations here.

Oh ffs they've done it again.....

That would be more comical than anything and would already be pushing a boat that's already been pushed a little too far with Data Riku, however both Hayner and Pence do deserve more credit, both are strong, brave and loyal. They tried to defend Kairi from Axel in KH2, helped Sora reach Data TT for the first time and now in the trailers we've seen they want to want to help Roxas and my boy Hayner openly attacks Ansem SoD without a keyblade or magic. At this stage name Hayner the Sage King of TT.

I agree with your points, I too have clocked how people jump on the 'every trailer must have X and show X' bandwagon now. As you said not every trailer is aimed at people like us, but potential newcomers. Now whilst it was possible to play KH2 without KH or CoM, KH3 does need previous entries, that being said we don't know everyone who will play this and is a potential newcomer going to get excited about for example Dilan being shown in a trailer? No, however you show someone Captain Jack and people know who he is. Regarding the Riku scene, it could well just be a continuation, however I genuinely do believe from all the hints and emphasis that he will have a playable segment.

Whilst I do agree with you on this, part of me would be amused by the confusion if it's Skuld or someone else

Totally inoffensive trailer filled with some rather amusing cutscenes. I feel people are failing to appreciate the effectiveness of this, it's not aimed at hardcore fans- but offers a general 'here is SDG and we go to World X and fight the Darkness.' Simple, direct and places an emphasis on the Disney Characters. Two points I'd like to expand, the Riku and Mickey scene looked like a transition scene from cutscene to gameplay and also this came from literally no where, thus we don't need to analysis and predict what events we might potentially see something. Taking that into account, we have more than one trailer coming out next month, now whilst I am willing to wager ( embracing my inner Luxord) that Jump Festa will come good, it's fair game for the whole of December now

Three things 1) Mother Gothel at last! 2) The Honey Transformation actually looks pretty cool 3) The final screenshot of P and M is intriguing. I presume if it's listed as being in TT it's the other side to the Station Tower where the Mountains are, if that's the case I never imagined TT to have such a landscape. If this is TT it really expands upon the idea that there is more than meets the eye with the Mansion. If it's not TT, potential spoiler?
