In relation to cast excluding Master Xehanort; the main characters should have their original voices; in terms of characters such as Olette/Hayner even the FF lot, I doubt there will be many changes. With relation to the disney VAs- they mostly do stick with the original people, I mean James Woods continues to voice Hades etc and those who aren't the originals tend on the whole to do a good job ( I am aware some people don't like Jack Sparrow in Kh2). at the end of the day, money talks to these people and pay them enough and they'll probably do it. -
As far as I am concerned any news is welcome, nobody wants a drought period and since Nomura has said this is an important stage for KH3, I see no reason to hold information back. Whilst 2.8 undoubtedly will have the spotlight, not mentioning or showing kh3 is a pr/marketing own goal. With regards to worlds, I do suspect we'll find out a few more this year and maybe next year; however seeing as there will be more worlds than ever even knowing 5/6 isn't a huge blow. So to conclude; the release date is understandably welcome, but anything we get is decent; I mean people might say they don't want combat scenes etc but after D23 people were pretty infuriated that we didn't see the trailers.
-
I wouldn't be against anything new; however Rage Awakened works for numerous reasons; 1) it's fast paced which suits combat scenes 2) it's iconic- people instantly know what it is by hearing it 3) unlike previous songs it might not return in the actual game, so giving it some limelight now is alright. Other songs which I feel would suit a combat scene would be either sinister shadows or the encounter. Again they iconic and fast paced; maybe if we see another boss other than rock Titan switch things to the encounter. If we get specific characters, then by all means use their themes; curiously I wonder if Young Eraqus and Xehanort will get personal themes?
-
Can we for the life of us see a boss fight that isn't the Rock Titan? or In relation to original worlds, when will see one other than the Tram Common in Twilight Town? ( Radiant Garden would be welcome...)
-
My issue with Neverland would be to do with the maps; I mean Neverland was a welcome addition to the series especially in BBS. However realistically how much of Neverland can we explore? We've seen the Lost Boys Hideout, Mermaid Lagoon, Indian Camp, Hook's Ship etc. There isn't much else to explore. At least with Olympus we will be exploring the Mountain and as an add on worlds like Agrabah can utilise the third plot of Aladdin, even Halloween Town at a stretch could utilise the other door areas such as Easter Town etc. Neverland doesn't seem to offer that
-
I wouldn't be surprised if it did return and whilst the world isn't essential to the overall plot, not all the mini games are that terrible in the 100 acre wood; you get decent items and normally a magic upgrade plus stat increases. So there are some positives; besides I find Sora and Pooh's friendship more of a personal one than other characters as you can visibly see they both care about each other and it's hard to admit it isn't sad when Pooh asks Sora not to leave him. Whilst we know Sora will return in future installments Sora himself won't know so it could be an obligation farewell to Pooh in case the war goes badly ( from Sora's perspective). Finally as worlds go even Disney can't get annoyed at this one having ' info' on I mean it's not a new world and is unlikely to have the reaction of say a Treasure Planet world/ a Star Wars world etc so there could be some truth to this, if not then what will be our mini game world ( please not Atlantica)?
-
Before people say the obvious that Twilight Town and Destiny Islands can't be located in the same world due to one being in the realm of light and the other in the realm inbetween, hear me out- whilst this is unlikely there is a possibility this might have some truth. I'll split this Into 2 sections- firstly the worlds as a whole; secondly in terms of character relations and links to to symbolism. 1) let's start of with Destiny Islands- in a playable function we only play on what I will dub the ' small Island' where we have the mysterious cave etc. However that is not the only section of the island in fact we have a ' main island' where we know they have housing; an education system and a sort of governance hinted at when Kairi is said to be staying at the Mayor's house. Politics aside this is where things start to come into place, outside of the village area we see a mountain/volcano in the distance. Moving on to Twilight Town; again we only see a snip bit of the overall world and from the clock tower we see a huge viewpoint of the town ( including areas of the town we haven't seen; a vast woodland area) and the return of a mountain. Now here's the semi interesting part, if you observe the cutscenes where the mountain is visible from both Destiny Islands and Twilight Town you'll notice they are parallel to each other- meaning that if it is the same mountain then it would make sense it being the same due to how it is viewed from either world). Before people think this is a geography lesson bare with me a little bit longer please 2) Destiny Islands as people know is the home world of SRK and even Master Xehanort; I'm specifically focusing on Sora here in relation to the symbolism element. If you take Sora as the symbol of light and thus dub the islands as the 'light' then let's consider Twilight Town. The birthplace of Roxas and Sora's nobody, where there is light there is always a shadow cast so it makes sense for worlds follow suit. Back to the mountain ( sorry) if you understand the concept that the symbolism between the world's could relate to Sora's heart, then consider the Mountain to be Sora's heart ( well symbolically) in that case like Roxas resides on other side of Sora's heart, then Twilight Town resides on the other side of the Islands. Also you would then have a constant connection between Sora and the worlds he shares a connection with. In the case of Destiny Islands and the light ( Riku and Kairi) and in the case of twilight town ( Roxas; Xion and Namine). Another add on is Sora's translation as ' Sky', now it might well be plausible that both worlds share the same ' sky' ( symbolic to Sora's heart) and instead of being separate worlds might be one of the same.
-
I don't think they are the same world; however both worlds are located in the Realm Inbetween so there is a connection- also who knows what is actually in Twilight Town- I mean we have by no means explored the whole town; we can see a mountain in the distance which suggests there is something beyond ( actually have a mini theory that Destiny Islands is on the other side; symbolic of the other side of Sora's heart) and a vast woodland area. So whilst they are likely separate worlds, who actually knows?
-
I applaud you for trying; I'm all for people creating their own theories; however kh3 is the last in the Xehanort Saga; therefore your ending would create too many loopholes and it wouldn't be a satisfying ending; yes this game will be dark and have mature themes; and yes it is plausible Xehanort will be successful, but to have the GOLs ' die' then sent to the past essentially means the series will be one massive loop and there is no way Disney will let anything bad happen to Mickey after all he is their mascot. Also in terms of people like Riku/Aqua etc they have huge fan bases and if your theory is correct then that essentially rules them out of future installments which will alienate a lot of people; also what would be the point of saving these people if their fate is only to go back in time? Also how do you explain the likely return of characters such as Roxas/Xion/Namine etc? I do think some of your ending is plausible and indeed likely; such as Xehanort being successful; a Sora vs Xehanort showdown etc however from a gaming perspective and I'm sure others will agree we want a satisfying ending which leaves us with no unanswered questions, I sadly don't think this would provide that Ps I think the game you're thinking of regarding Disney changing an ending to a games is BBS, makes you wonder what on earth they planned if it was darker? Haha
I have a feeling this year will be similar to last year with news at E3; TGS and Jump Festa. Seeing as 2016 is meant to be 2.8's year I imagine we'll see a lot/hear a lot, with hopefully a release date at E3; plus the generic news etc at TGS/Jump Festa. Regarding KH3, I think that will feature as well; maybe a new trailer this year ( hoping for a new world either Big Hero 6 and hopefully a new original world, either Radiant Garden or The World That Never Was) if not Nomura in a recent interview did hint we'll see new kh3 material ' soon' with the potential reveal of an antagonist. On a similar note; once 2.8 is out ( My guess would be Sept-Oct for Japan and Dec- UK/USA etc) then come JF then Square unless they pull out a 2.9 out of nowhere which I highly doubt/want will only have Kh3 to focus on the KH front; thus meaning 2017 will be the year for the ' promotion bombardment' of KH3; I still think the release date will be kept for 2017 to be announced ( E3 2017) and then they'll use TGS and depending on the date maybe Disney Expo again
Predicting it now- we'll finish the game the a bunch of unknown characters will appear on screen followed by a lot of random words which will only make sense to us 3 spin offs from now; a random flash of Destiny Islands followed by someone shouting Sora and the words still in development even though you lot are hoping this game releases soon
Going to add my XIII ( mostly the same plus a few differences) Obvious ones which we know: Old Xehanort Young Xehanort Xemnas Ansem Brain Saïx Other 7 plus I'll add a few wacky ones whilst though unlikely would be a twist Terra-Xehanort Apprentice Xehanort ( whilst the same as above- due to time travel I can easily see this being a cop out and him being added) Marluxia ( due to Nomura's last interview this does look likely) Debating Riku Replica or Risem ( riku possessed by Ansem)- I feel strongly that a ' Riku' will appear- Replica was all about the darkness and despite being a tragic character the chance to fight Riku and become ' real' could appeal to him or Risem- he was a Xehanort, he was possssed by Ansem and I think he meets the criteria to become a darkness Ephemera- I feel a Chi connection is inevitable and hey time travel hurray ( sarcastic of course) Luxord- going back to the chess board connection a dice was clearly visible and also if as I talked about he is Ansem's son; then that could have a plot relevance Vanitas Wacky ideas: The traitor of the foretellers- this isn't too wacky; but perhaps the traitor if there is one would be tempted to join Xehanort after reading the missing page Xehanort and Eraqus' master- we know nothing about this bloke nor his intentions: so he could be fair game almost Star Wars esque where Vader wasn't the main villain but Palpatine was etc Eraqus- would be a tragic twist if Xehanort used his old friend who championed the light as a Darjness pawn Ansem the Wise- again this could be interesting if he was taken from the realm of darkness and used for Xehanort's gain also I shine the pain Mickey etc would feel seeing the fall of his friend Before I get abused haha; the wacky ideas are simply wacky ideas

It just seemed weird at the time; because In the interview he was his usual answer by not answering method; however he was happy to expand on this fact; I suppose it does add something more subtle to look for in any new trailers in new worlds; I'm interested to see if say we see the Gambler nobodies etc would that elude to Luxord currently or the last form; they could easily add a few red herrings to tease us It's literally without being too cheesy flower power in that world; all we need is Sora to obtain an Hawaiian shirt drive form in that world to go with the flow and back to your point I agree with you 100% From what I gather you are correct; it does look like the smaller enemies will reveal bigger enemies; come every trailer we'll be looking at what enemies we see and trying to work out some connection haha
In a recent interview with Nomura; he revealed what I believe to be two major and one minor things very Interesting and odd. Firstly when questioned about the new nobody in the new trailer ( which is alluding towards Marluxia) he responded with the first of the Major details- that the character will be revealed in promotional material in the near future; so does that suggest we'll see Marluxia in a trailer soon? Secondly and the main theme of this discussion is that it looks like certain enemies eg the Marluxia nobody will reveal what characters have been to that specific world, now going back to KH2; this isn't exactly new eg Dragoon nobodies were present in Beast's Castle were Xaldin was; however this time around could the enemies we face foreshadow the I'll dub it ' external enemy' we'll encounter at each world? If not abused or too obvious; then this could actually be very well used; I mean just because we might not see the ' external threat' firsthand; the fact they'll have been there makes it obvious to us both as Sora and as players the individual threat we'll face in each world and in terms of gameplay how to prepare ourselves for an encounter with the ' external threat' or even as I wouldn't actually mind have the ' external threat alluded to throughout the world and making us paranoid of the encounter only to reveal at the end the threat has moved on and thus making us move on too almost a cat and mouse game until the fated final clash. It could be another way of building uo the Keyblade war and revealing what is at stake Finally; the minor detail is other enemy types such as Unversed ( dream eaters too though I doubt they'll return) are being considered so linking back to the original theme could unversed in specific worlds reveal the workings of Vanitas yet again? Thanks for reading; it's good to be back here again after being gone for ages
I hope they handle the return of the castle oblivion lot well; I mean as we have mentioned before I strongly feel that specific nobodies will return and at this point even Unversed haven't been ruled out so Vanitas has a possibility ( probably inevitable) of returning- I hope however it's done in a plot related way, not just for fan service which is a worry of mine at the moment
I'm caught in the middle of this one- I do think Marluxia could return in some capacity and the new nobody plus Nomura's interview do suggest this is the case. Let's take a quick look why he could work out as a Darkness- 1) seems to be an occurrence that main antagonists of old games are members- therefore it would seem odd to leave him out of the true organisation 2) if you play Chain of Memories/358/2 Days he clearly shows an obsession and desire to obtaining the Keyblade for himself- does this remind you of another known member cough Braig cough 3) Marluxia is a powerful character- therefore it would be a waste not to use him: especially if Xehanort needs him as no XIII or another number 4) specific lights vs specific darknesses- in the final battle Sora needs a specific darkness other than Xehanort to fight against; I mean even at the moment Sora has no real hatred with Xehanort ( old man version) whereas characters such as Mickey/Terra etc do. Therefore a Sora vs Marluxia rematch is essential: Sora had a valid reason to hate Marluxia and at after defeating him Sora seemed angry still and sealed off the area where he was defeated and before people say Sora forgot Castle Oblivion etc I believe he will regain those memories as this was eluded to how Namine will be saved ' forgotten; but not lost' and also just because Sora might have forgotten; Marluxia probably will remember and might want revenge or even to try and use Sora again However on the other hand: Marluxia needs to return for plot purposes not because people like his hair/weapon or whatever reason; sorry but that's not valid- my own favourite member is Luxord; but unless he returns for plot purposes I'd accept him not returning too; however people rule out Marluxia based upon DDD about the True Organisation and the theme of ' traitors'. I think a common occurrence even myself I'll admit will automatically think of Marluxia with being the traitor of the old organsation; however.. A lot of other characters actually fit the bill ( Xion ( going to include her as a member since she did work for the organisation technically), Axel, Roxas and Larxene) When that is taking into account then it's obvious they weren't true organisation material. Overall; there are I think valid reasons for his return; but it needs to be handled correctly and not for fan satisfaction otherwise if that is the case I'm all for a bring back Luxord campaign
This gets back to what we discussed ages ago about this topic and I still agree with you; the fact is each old organisation XIII member had their own nobody eg Roxas and Samurai; so naturally the Castle Oblivion lot must do too. Interestingly from the last interview with Nomura; he stated that the enemies we face will reveal who has been to that world; so this could be a way of carefully revealing enemies or even foreshadowing of what is to come
I'd rather for the majority of the game stick with Sora; keep things flowing in an organised manner ( pun not intended); however I strongly feel that the tutorial will feature either Young Xehanort/Young Eraqus to be playable ( personally I want YX due to the reason to make us connect to him a lot more, if we fully understand why he wants Kingdom Hearts then that makes the final battle more heated due to us knowing what we have to stop as the lights). Also I accept people want to play as Roxas/Riku etc again and that's fine; however I would like a system where at the Keyblade Graveyard we play as a specific light vs a specific darkness eg Riku vs Ansem or Aqua vs Braig, that would make the war more believable rather than Sora taking on all the darknesses and winning otherwise the point of the other 6 GOLs seems redundant. Then finally to conclude I'd have Sora vs Xehanort alone as was hinted during the Chess match. For me personally this would have a better feel rather than switching here there and everywhere
My issue is more to do with how we start; I mean at the end of BBS and carrying on the secret episode where the story for 0.2 will resume from Aqua was pretty powerful; therefore I hope we don't start of at a ' level one' point, I mean from a chronological perspective it wouldn't make sense, though I wouldn't have anything against Aqua ' levelling up' to a degree without seeming too OP
I mean as has been said Jump Festa is a good shout and is notorious for KH news and even trailers; that said there is the PS event too earlier in the month. However will we see anything? I'm going to be optimistic and say yes, I mean after D23 and the reaction from that, it would be a way for Square to sugar candy the fans over. Nevertheless in a realistic sense; KH3 is a possibility, but then again with 2.8 coming out in 2016, from a marketing sense it would be an own goal not to start hyping/revealing the game. Overall I'm not expecting KH unchained chi since one event is a PS event and Jump Festa is a japanese event and Japan have had the game for a few months. 2.8 I'm mostly expecting for the reasons I mentioned and finally KH3- we know they have more footage so we know they could release something, I'm not expecting the D23 trailer and if we see any KH3 it would be a bonus
Seeing as this is KH, whilst this could be true- it doesn't seem complicated enough. Daybreak Town will somehow be the original form of Radiant Garden, Twilight Town, Land Of Departure ( Cable Town) where they were all one world and when they separated become individual worlds.
I mean we have such little information about the 'Key To Return Hearts', it might well be a key blade, but I feel that would be too simple, so I am leaning more towards it being a person- Sora makes sense as he does have the power to save those thought lost by being himself, however with BBS 0.2 coming up apparently Aqua finds a way to save Terra and Ven, so perhaps the mystery continues?
Back when Birth By Sleep Volume 2 was shown as an initial cut scene, Mickey is scene in the RoD with his Star Seeker Keyblade, so if I was Luxord and a betting man, I would say probably post BBS and during the events of KH.
