I agree with you 100%, whilst it's cool to have all these options; Sora is in danger of being too OP. Especially since Nomura already said that at level 85 Sora will be practically invincible. I'm hoping the boss battles match this too; otherwise it will be a breeze

What would really be the point? KH3 is supposed to be a dark game and If every single person returns then that would be such an anti climax. I mean I'm honest when I say I don't understand how/why Xion will return other than for fan demand. I'd rather have him in his younger form that way we can flesh the characters of both Eraqus and Xehanort out in a plausible way. I mean looking towards the future; what purpose would having a resurrected Eraqus serve?

Not being harsh; but anyone can google square's current games in development, create a list and say they have connections in Japan. Firstly we had that awful 0.2 ' leak' and now this. At least the LinkedIn profile last year had some element of truth with 2.8 being a genuine game; this guy needs to give it a rest

Having 5 separate films would be frantic and probably unnecessary. Also you need roughly a 3 hour film again to explain everything fully; having 5 three hour films would be Totally impractical. That said I wouldn't want a cutdown film to cater for 5 different perspectives. Also the 6th apprentice would need his own film too taking it to 21 hours approx. One long film would be fine; just hopefully they follow the re:coded pattern and include more combat scenes rather than 358:2 days which was more slow.

I agree with you; one could even Argue that the heartless showed some recognition of his original being's friends too which further suggests a level of consciousness. Also when shadows spawned around them; they were ' hostile' which shows a lack of free will. Carrying on; one needs to have a strong heart to wield a keyblade anyway; so if one then did become a heartless then I don't see why that heartless shouldn't be unique amongst the others and if I might add; the nobody of such a being would be powerful too and I would argue would probably be ' human nobodies' rather than disks etc

I was talking more about the consciousness side of things. Yes Ansem sod was an Emblem and Sora's heartless was a Pureblood. However Sora's heartless retained his level of consciousness. I mean one could argue you were playing as him so techically it doesn't count- however the heartless showed recognition of Donald; Goofy and Kairi and did not attack the group whereas the shadows which spawned next to them went to attack suggesting that they lacked the capacity of some sort of free will. Which I link back to perhaps the heartless of keyblade wielders due to havjng strong hearts retain their consciousness.

The last story update was very, very, very Interesting and made me think think of possible scenarios of ways we could relate this to Kh3 and the upcoming Keyblade War. Firstly I'll provide a summary to serve as a hypothesis for a potential ' Heartless of the Fallen' scenario. Our Avatar encounters a new character called Skuld who appears to have come from the same faction as our missing friend Ephemera. In her dream Ephemera told her to seek out our Avatar and also added that the End is near. We then hear a loud explosion nearby and see 2 Foretellers in full combat; this is where a group of Heartless appear and start to demand for the Lux. Prompting a fight between them and us, the Dark Chirithy then reveals they were ex keyblade wielders that gave into the darkness... Right; let me know explain my ' Heartless of the Fallen' situation ( Later becoming Seeekrs of Darkness) I believe that when a Keyblade wielders becomes a heartless then the ' Fallen wielder' maintains full consciousness and has free will to decide their actions rather than Heartless purely seeking out new hearts to capture. Although a brief defintion; I hope you get the basic drift. Now if they willingly accept darkness then I'd wager that this makes them the amongst the truly first ' Seekers of Darkness'. This is my first small tie in to KH3- I don't believe these new enemies want the Lux to simply eradicate the light; however I think like Xehanort they want the Lux to create an Equilibrium between Light and Darkness. However if one wanted to take another path and believe that our ' Seekers of Darkness' do wish to have the light themselves then we could relate this to the Keyblade War where the light was fought over and seeing as power is a key element to the fall of these wielders then this could explain their motivation. Linking directly to the Keyblade War- I believe that these wielders belong to the same faction as those of the 6th apprentice. Just because they didn't become a foreteller we have no evidence to suggest that they didn't take on apprentices of their own and I believe what we fought were the ex apprentices of the 6th apprentice and that whilst the foretellers probably did clash; I believe these seekers of darkness also contributed to the war and perhaps we'll see a shift from the Foretellers clashing to the original ' Guardians of Light' ( foretellers; our avatar and the other apprentices) vs the 6th apprentice and the seekers of darkness. Not only would this increase the importance of the 6th apprentice; but also directly relate to Kh3. I'd be willing to wager that the second keyblade war will play a similar way to the above. Also and this is the part which may seem controversial; what If either the 12 other seekers of darkness Morphed into what we saw in KH3 and that a fully norted person evolves to one of these beings? Or secondly what if during the final battle with Xehanort; he completely accepts the darkness and becomes a ' seeker of darkness' and this could act as an Almost ' God form' meaning he'd be hard to defeat and that the Lux gathered during CHI provides Sora with the strength to defeat him.

I believe they are heartless and aren't anything new to the series. If you look at the heartless of keyblade wielders in particular Sora and Terranort ( Ansem the Seeker of Darkness) then things start to make sense. Both heartless were retained their consciousness and as we know in the case of Ansem SOD was able to speak). My only issue is that when a strong willed person becomes a heartless then a nobody is created too and if they were previous wielders then their nobodies should be very powerful and thus far nobodies have been absent from CHI... Maybe in UCHI if square wanted to highlight the differences between the games have them show up instead?

1) I'd say the Hub is missing for aesthetic reasons more than anything 2) December release date ( September for Japan) 3) 2-3 hours to complete 4) one world which is the Castle Of Dreams 5) KH3 was seen as too big to have 0.2 as well; in fact originally0.2 was meant to be part of 3 6) Doubt anything new would be added- maybe another secret boss if lucky 7) No; Chi Uchi and Back Cover are three separate identities. Back Cover focuses on the Foreteller's; whilst Nomura has confirmed Chi and Uchi whilst similar are different games, there is a theory that Uchi is in the Realm of Sleep ( amongst many others) 8) should be finished- but I don't recall this being confirmed 9) In the book Alice comes from else where; however there is little evidence to suggest Wonderland isn't her homeworld. If anything, they might take a similar stance to that of London in Neverland in KH1. London wasn't part of the world directly, but was still a feature in the world. 10) Multiple discussions; I mean some properties are clearly not adaptable for the game ( High School Musical etc); then I presume there is a draft plot; not entirely sure about this; however this is early development stuff and from a KH3 perspective; the majority of worlds will be new

Nobody wants Hannah Montana to have a world.... Been mentioned by a few others; but I'd rather not have tv shows as worlds as we could end up in dangerous territory. I do agree with you that 80's Disney films are often overlooked and do have potential. I am totally for a Victorian London being the setting for a Great Mouse Detective world; The Black Cauldron is easily a good replacement for Halloween Town as our dark world ( also my favourite disney film too. Also the early 00's films too would be welcome such as Treasure Planet and Atlantis ( however I see those as very likely). I would welcome The Emperor's New Grove too; it would be interesting to see to the environment in the Kingdom Shader for this world and in my opinion would be very fun.

unanswered questions other than ones that encourage is to look forward to next saga. I have nothing against a cliffhanger ending at all and in fact I want one. However I don't want to finish the game and still have questions from the past saga. It's a talk ask and Nomura needs to answer an awful lot; but do that and provide a satisfactory answer than I'll be a pleased player. Also I don't want crucial info only being in ultimanias: make all crucial info able to learnt during the game.

I'm open to any heartless returning other than a Leechgrave/Ruler of the Sky esque heartless returning or being added. I do like the heartless in Chi a lot; so I would welcome a lot of those

I'm not against an open world idea per se; however I wouldn't complain about having a KH2 system. However my main issue whether it's open play or not is to do with the routes themselves. Apart from the one time getting to each world and during pre Warp-G in KH1; what's really the point of re visiting the routes? The missions aren't exactly fun; designing personal ships can be an unnecessary hassle, so instead of the layout- I'd personally rather square worked on this issue. Two solutions potentially could be to have the routes provide rare items needed for let's say the ultima weapon etc or even be a way of being able to gather elixirs etc ( To a limit). Another solution would be to a level up system and in order to advance through harder levels; we need our gummi ship to be a certain level; maybe have a correlation between the world battle level and the Gummi Ship route level? To relate to your post; this would be a lot harder to do in an open world layout; so taking that into account I would prefer a kh2 system.

first of all Genie is an essential this stage as it wouldn't be a KH numbered game without him; Baymax as a healer and if we're pushing the boat, darth Maul- imagine being in an area surrounded by enemies when Sora whips out the Maul Summon, he can ignite both sides of his dual lightsaber and annihilate everything

Christian Post; any of those websites are utter garbage; I mean I think any of us could create an article for those dudes; also if it was legit it would be a bit weird that neither us on this website not KHInsider or even of the endless youtube channels haven't covered it. Seriously these people would be the kind of people to say star wars is confirmed because Sora has some minute similarity to Luke Skywalker etc

If the point of the world is to climb Olympus and presumably stop the Titans; I see no reason why the king of the gods shouldn't be there. In fact I'd have a few of the gods on the game as it would seem a bit weird to have Zeus chilling at the summit of Olympus by himself. Also it would be a decent opportunity to bring Zack back as a guard of the gods etc. In fact having Zeus makes sense for gameplay purposes as we can gain the Thunder element from Olympus as well as gain the nifty Olympus keyblade

I strongly see this happening. I mean it fits the criteria of a returning world. The areas of Dead Man's Chest etc would be completely new maps to the series and thus makes the Pirates of The Carribean world really likely to return. Also there is a huge difference between POTC and Treasure Planet for the worlds to be clearly separate. Carrying on, Square could replace the Skeleton pirates with Davy Jones' crew thus carrying on the theme of having world specific enemies

Seeing as the conversation between YE and YX is due to appear at the start of the game and I strongly feel as if we'll play as one of the them then I think the Land of Departure will be the starting point; followed by Dive to the Heart for our character. Then once we pick up the pace with Sora and co probably at Yen Sid's before we depart for the Kingdom of Corona

Let us hope that nobody from square has seen this and has been inspired to create a Death Star world in the from of Monstro meets The Grid, I already have visions of spending hours walking around the Death Star not having a clue where the detention cells are in a bleak environment slowly losing my mind and cursing at the game.

Wonderland wasn't confusing for me; just extremely annoying, I mean wasting potions etc on plants and having to go to Traverse Town to restock because of the TrickMaster ugh. Monstro was actually fun, and tbf it made sense to be lost since you were essentially playing hide and seek/ catch up with Riku. That saying it was way too bright and was an eyesore at times. My biggest concern would be a Jungle Book world ( not unlikely at all) being similar to Tarzan again. Whilst I understand a Jungle would need to be dense and be a struggle to explore, deep Jungle was awful, one miscalculated jump and it was an unwanted return to Hippo Lagoon again. Also worth adding, if we get a Star Wars world and at this stage that can't be ruled out, the Death Star is most likely to be the new Monstro, and now that will be a task to explore. I'm all for a Death Star world ( well both if we have multiple visits) however it is an issue Square will have to explore, it could be fantastic ( a Yoko Imperial March for battle music springs to mind) or it could be the new Monstro meets The Grid from Tron

In all fairness Jump Festa wasn't too long ago. However interviews do pop up here and there with various magazines etc so maybe a few snippets perhaps. However as people have mentioned, E3 is our bet for both 2.8 and 3. I do expect this to be a good year for news, if I was being realistic maybe 2 new trailers ( 2 for 2.8 too); between 2-3 new world releases; the obvious 2.8 release date and I'm feeling a Jump Festa KH3 reveal year ( only because one would expect 2.8 to be out by then and thus KH3 not drawing attention from 2.8's PR) To Summarise: KH3 trailer at E3 and Jump Festa KH2.8 trailers at E3 and TGS First world reveal: E3; second: TGS and third at JF E3 2.8 release date ( Sept for Japan/ Dec for UK/USA etc) JF KH3 end of trailer changing from ' now in development' to 2017

I think it's only fair Xehanort succeeds. I mean the whole series has been geared towards the second key blade war and it wouldn't make sense if he wasn't successful, I mean the conditions are correct now with the 13 darkness pieces and 7 light pieces, so I see no reason for him not to wield it. Also it is strongly suggested that the darkness will triumph ( excluding the missing page's knowledge which undoubetedly see the light win in the end). To conclude, imagine a final boss battle in Kingdom Hearts against Xehanort with the X-Blade, then as the player you would have to utilise your abilities such as the transformations, attraction flow etc in order to stand a chance against him.

I wouldn't bet on one for 2.8, however I wouldn't rule out one for FFXV this year. That seems more likely than 2.8. Nevertheless, maybe a collector's edition will be released- probably an art book, maybe a chirithy or dream eater plushy and a keyring? On a personal level, instead of an art book I'd rather have a mini ' book of prophecy' to add a twist to Back Cover and hint to 3.

From a plot perspective Disney Castle has to return. I mean Maleficent and Pete are searching for the Book of Prophecy and from DDD she knows what she is seeking is in the Castle. Therefore one can expect to return there in order to either stop her or even more interestingly revert what she has done. It would be cool to go to a Disney Castle which had fallen to Darkness ( more so than the thorns in KH2). Even if this doesn't happen we'll probably return. Layout wise, iconic areas such as the Gummi Hanger; Library and Throne Room should return. However, I'd personally rather explore the Castle than the Town as I feel BBS allowed us a satisfactory exploration, however from what we know the Castle has multiple Occupents ( probably more than Brooms) and that allows Square to be adventurous with what they include. I mean Hollow Bastion was a Castle World in KH and that was hardly small.

List of random ideas: Confirmed worlds- Kingdom of Corona ( Rapunzel) Mount Olympus ( probably another FF character- maybe Zack's return?) Twilight Town- probably no one other than Donald or Goofy; maybe Roxas if he returns Mysterious Tower- again probably no one new San Fransokyo ( Hiro and Baymax) potential worlds and allies Radiant Garden ( Lea) Castle Oblivion ( Aqua) Keyblade Graveyard ( all the GoLs eventually plus Donald and Goofy as support) Toy Box ( Woody and Buzz) Agrabah ( Aladdin) Galactic Wonders ( Jim Hawkins) The Lost City ( Keita ( sorry if misspelt)) 100 Acre wood ( No one) Death Star ( Luke Skywalker) Nottingham Forest ( Robin Hood) Jungle Jewel ( Baloo) Disney Castle ( no one)
