Fullmetal Keyblade

I already feel like it's my favorite world haha

Beautiful.

That Pirates World looks soooo good. Good trailer and definitely worth the wait.

Haha that's true it can be infectious at times..

It's been awhile since the whole community got this excited over a Trailer, this better be good..

Well then, that's actually a great find.

Talk about having a complicated story... imagine explaining that, *takes deep breath* Sora unlocked his heart in KH1 and created his Nobody and his Heartless, however Sora was able to be restored to his original body after coming into contact with Kairi who had a piece of Sora's heart inside her. Sora's Nobody, Roxas, was captured by Organization XIII but could not align well with the Organization's goals because of his memories of Sora, therefore the Organization made a replica of Roxas, Xion, who was essentially a puppet that needed to absorb Roxas and take his place in the Organization, absorbing Sora's memories and effectively replacing Sora and Roxas both. However due to Xion containing Sora's memories she began to also rebel against the Organization after forming a friendship with Roxas and another Organization member, Axel. Due to this Xion rescued Roxas from being absorbed by forcing him to defeat her in battle, allowing Roxas to absorb her instead. Then, somehow, she gained a body, grew a heart, lost that heart, and formed a Nobody herself, which then gets possessed by Xehanort. *Exhales* I sincerely hope that isn't the case, there is only so much the human mind can comprehend

http://kh13.com/news/exclusive-canon-back-story-for-kingdom-hearts-iii-shown-at-kingdom-hearts-orchestra-world-tour-in-japan Xion returning to KH has long been discussed and theorized, well before the Big Hero 6 trailer was released. With her lines being canonized in the Orchestra Tour and her appearance in Dream Drop Distance, along with the recent screenshots that most agree to be her, I believe it's safe to confirm that Xion will be making a return. Overall it actually makes sense for her to be a Xehanort Vessel as well, since her entire purpose originally was to serve as a replacement for Roxas in Organization XIII. Going forward to KH3, if the True Org. has goals of somehow extracting Roxas then it's not too far off to say that also extracting Xion, or even making her a new replica, is possible. I think the next trailer will confirm for us visibly 100%, but there's enough evidence to support her return before we even see it. Edit: For comparison's sake, I found a decent side profile of Xion and included the recent screenshot from the Big Hero 6 trailer, if that's not a match I can't imagine who else it could be..

That's the biggest issue with it being Xion, the story would have to fit the explanation of her returning and how she even could return and then somehow fit her into a already crowded roster. The game is already expected to be lengthy but just shoving so much story into a packed game like this and bringing back characters for what seems like the sake of appearance seems disingenuous at best.

I think we'll have a better answer when we see more, I really think it's Lingering Will but as you said you can't really make it out..

I'd admit that of the models shown thus far the characters that are original to the series need the most work. Square is obviously working on them on a day-to-day basis but perfecting those models should be the priority when showing them in trailers. Seeing Riku yet again with different hair is a bit discouraging, as if they can't decide on what exact they like, same can be said for Young Xehanort who seemingly is improved and altered with each new trailer. I'm overall happy with the amount of polish that is going into it and I believe that Square will continue to further polish the game up into release.

Most people think that it's Xion, although nothing is confirmed at this point.

Riku is most likely going to be one of( if not THE) the playable characters so I would imagine that playing in the RoD is confirmed.

This definitely resembles Final Form but it's also different. It's probably KH3's version of it, but it may be something else entirely.

I'm not sure about the Norted Xion either, but considering the return of Roxas it's more likely than not.

Sora is standing with Mickey in the Graveyard, so I would assume that this scene in particular takes place after his journey into the RoD with Riku. Going by that I would guess that the visit to the Graveyard would be in the later part of the game. You can't quite make it out but it appears that the Lingering Will is directly in front of Sora, and this(Lingering Will) being a potential Guardian of Light, it make more sense to me at least that's it's closer to the end of the game...

I thought that's who it was but I wasn't particularly sure..

Since it went by so fast I thought I catch every scene that was shown to be able to get a better idea of what's going on. Apologies for Aqua's, I tried but couldn't get a still frame captured. I'm particularly interested in the chessboard, I wonder what exactly it's symbolizing. Please share your thoughts!

I guess but the customization looks a lot more detailed and intricate, so to me it looks new haha

It's official. My Death Ship Of The Stars will be a Flying Moogle

An i the only one hyped about the Gummi ship customization? YOU CAN TURN YOUR SHIP INTO A FLYING MOOGLE. :')

Japan has been hit with a whole lot of disasters recently, typhoons, heat waves, earthquakes,...it never seems to let up there..

I don't think that's the case man... The story has to do with a whole nother mythology and Kratos came to the North to put his past behind him

Definitely agree that there's been a huge focus on Smash and Nintendo doesn't need to show it off so much, people are going to buy the game. What I wish they would show is Prime 4. A actual trailer for the game would be amazing and it would be something new to the Switch, demonstrating that Nintendo isn't just porting games and dropping Indies while everyone waits for the triple A titles to release. Metroid should be and once was considered a triple A franchise itself and it's high time Nintendo gives it time in the spotlight in order to give back to the franchise the impact it once carried.

Not at all..I mean it would help but only to have some background info in Kratos. The story is set hundreds of years after the last one and it's separate from what happened before
