Not really a prediction, those are some of the most well known and popular rides at Disney Parks. You'd be crazy to not put those rides on a list of rides you think they'll put in the game.

An iffy translation isn't proof of anything. Apprentice Xehanort/Ansem, Seeker of Darkness wrote that. It was most likely talking about how he created Emblem Heartless and started the mass overpopulation of Pureblood Heartless. We already know how Pureblood Heartless are created, and it's not the Devil. Pureblood Heartless are what you turn into when you succumb to the darkness and they are what you can create from the darkness in your heart. They are the darkness from the heart turned sentient (except not really since they can't feel things and only act on instinct lol). But yeah, Pureblood Heartless are what people turn into when they allow the darkness of their heart to take over and consume and corrupt their heart. They aren't spawned from the Devil or from Chernabog. I will admit though, I do find the naming of Demon Tower and Demon Tide strange and interesting. Especially since their Japanese names translate more to "Devil's Tower" and "Devil's Wave". I think it's most likely just something Nomura thought sounded cool though.

What would you consider to be a "true ranking"? How can a list of what someone considers to be the best of something be completely objective?

IGN's bad rep in the KH community doesn't make this any less news. Also, the KH2 section of the IGN article is written by Jonathon Dornbush, who actually knows his stuff when it comes to KH and is a huge fan of KH. Every KH article written by him has been great and accurate. He shouldn't get blamed for other IGN employees' mess ups.

IGN has released an article of a list of what they consider to be the Top 100 RPGs of of all time. In this article, Kingdom Hearts II is featured and ranked as the 86th best RPG of all time. Next to each game on the article, is a short summary of why the game is one of the top RPGs of all time and why it's on the list.

No, this isn't true whatsoever. Ever since Sora sealed the Door to Darkness which sealed all of the worlds' Keyholes, it's not possible for a world to fall to darkness. And that's not the only way to enter the Realm of Darkness. That's just simply the only way Mickey knew about at the time. You can get there by using Corridors of Darkness. I doubt they'll be using that method though since it's dangerous. Sora and Riku were able to enter the Realm of Darkness through The World That Never Was somehow. I think how they got there might be explained in KH3 and they will use that same method. Either that, or they will think of a new method.
