Riku barely has any relationships with girls besides Kairi, and she'll likely end up with Sora if a canon pairing is actually made. There's nobody, male or female, you could pair Riku with (besides Sora) without forcing it.

Probably not, unless we also get to play as Riku during the events at the Keyblade Graveyard

Nomura had this to say about the lack of FF characters in the trailer: "But the reason you haven't been shown any Final Fantasy characters is that there are so many original characters that need to resolve their own problems and issues. And because their issues and problems are very difficult, there just hasn't been that much space to fit Final Fantasy characters so far." So it's just a matter of the FF characters being shafted for the original characters because ultimately the FF characters just aren't relevant to the series anymore. Though I do think the Restoration Committee will turn up at the very least.

I don't think the world count is a bad thing necessarily since we've already how expansive the worlds. Mind you I was praying for Treasure Planet.

Yeah for real Nimoy was perfect. With that said Xehanort's new voice has grown on me a bit, but it's just not... gravelly enough?

Daybreak Town: early in the day Twilight Town: the later part of the day just before night Cable Town/Scala Ed Caelum: The middle of the day What did Nomura mean by this?

That's actually a fairly good point and my point may have been fairly... misguided or underdeveloped. Thanks for this reply it's allowed me to consider a new perspective. While I still don't think that file size is an accurate indicator of total content, in the case of Kingdom Hearts it would certainly mean something.

Not particularly interested in VR but I have access to PSVR at my uni so I'll probably see if my lecturer doesn't mind me installing this onto the system.

I'm guessing, or maybe this was already said somewhere (I seem to remember the Bring Arts figure saying something about Braveheart), that Braveheart may very well be the Keyblade of the Realm Between, similarly to how the Kingdom Key is the Keyblade of the Realm of Light. Just a guess.

I mean I'm overreacting for sure and I'm sorry about that but it's a misconception that really does need to be adressed imo. The playtime estimation came from a Square Enix rep apparently which could be an over/under-estimation. It in all likeliness just means uncompressed audio and video files.

As I've already said file size doesn't equate to the amount of content! To answer your question however the plot is about 40 hours but the game with all the side content is about 60 - 80 hours iirc.

No worries I had to make sure the word was out as fast as possible, though I think the staff had made a tweet shortly before I made the thread. Yeah avoiding spoilers should be easy enough as long as you're careful.

I imagine that Disney will be furiously unleashing the old cease and desist one-two on youtube at least. I think things'll be fine just so long as you steer clear of 4chan (or use MANY filters), and don't go looking for spoilers. Of course be cautious when you look for Kingdom Hearts content.

I mean yeah the graphics in KH3 are pretty but as are the graphics in Persona 5 and the other two games you just mentioned as well.

Exactly this. Doesn't really matter if Square Enix intervenes or not at this point. By the time all the copies have been tracked down, which I doubt they're going to do in all honesty (they'll probably just stop at making sure no more copies are leaked), somebody will already have completed the game and be ready with whatever videos and screenshots they need to spoil the game for others.
