Who was your favorite voice for Master Xehanort?
Wow, this is tough actually. It's between Leonard Nimoy and Christopher Lloyd. Both were fantastic as Master Xehanort in their respective game roles. It's a hard choice but I'm going to say Lloyd for his amazing quotes in his Data fights.

What 90s animated Disney show would you like to see in Kingdom Hearts?
Darkwing Duck would be so much fun. I've wanted this since I first got into Kingdom Hearts. Imagine Darkwing and Donald interacting. Maybe even get superhero style outfits when going there. Darkwing, Launchpad, and/or Gizmoduck as party members. Negaduck and the Fearsome Five as bosses, oh it would be great to play that!

Should Riku have been the one to save Terra in III?
It also would have been good to see Riku and Mickey save Aqua too. I was quite surprised that Riku played no role at all with Terra though. In base KH3 they don't even acknowledge one another. It would have been nice for Riku to do something since he really didn't accomplish much in KH3, but at this point it's not important. The main KH games are Sora's domain.

I thought I would never say this but…
Larxene in the Sea Salt Trio? The only way that would have worked is if it was a parody of Days in the first place and played up for laughs. Like when Larxene dies everyone remembers all the bad times they had with her in the Organization and all the times she put everyone down while playing sad music in the background. It would make a perfect parody if Larxene was in Xion's place, Demyx was in Roxas's place, and Lexaeus was in Axel's place as they sat on the clocktower. When Larxene dies in Demyx's arms he can say "Larxene, who else will compare me to a cereal bowl?" comedy gold right there. In all seriousness Larxene could never fill that role. As stated she's a sadist who only cares about herself and putting others down. Roxas could never form a "healthy" friendship with her that wasn't played up as a joke.

Which of the newer Final Fantasy game would you most want a new cameo from in a future Kingdom Hearts game?
Lol, Maybe it was the Zodiac version.

I thought I would never say this but…
I was going to answer but It would mostly be what Movies798 already said. But I'll do it anyway XD 1.) Basically everything Movies798 said. The notes that created Xion still exist. The Xion in the KG was essentially a 2.0 body. 2.) I don't understand this question. Namine had nothing to do with the Replica Program and none of Xemnas's personal plans ever needed her. Namine was a Marluxia project for his own goals. 3.) Because Replicas were the Organizations biggest pet project outside gaining hearts. It might seem redundant now because literally everyone has a Keyblade, but back in the early days of KH Sora was the only Keyblade Wielder around, so cloning him for that power was smart. If one Sora breaks down for the Organization another takes it's place to keep the job going, just like in a office building with multiple computers. And when Organization XIII got rebranded in DDD and KH3, the Replicas surpassed Nobodies in terms of importance. The only reason it didn't take off with the original Organization is because Vexen was killed early.

I pick FF XII because Balthier. Yeah mainly for him. He'd be a charismatic character to see in any video game.

What is your favorite Tron world in the series?
For now I say Space Paranoids. Only because I haven't actually played DDD properly yet so I don't know how good The Grid actually is. Seriously outside cutscenes my only experience with it is in Melody of Memory. When I finally play DDD I'll be able to judge it more fairly, it has a good aesthetic and music at least.

Fixing Kingdom Hearts - Why “Good Enough” should have been left alone
If Kingdom Hearts had stopped at 2 I probably wouldn't even like the series that much. KH1 remains my favorite but I found KH2 a underwhelming sequel during my first years with the series. I may not like everything that happened in Kingdom Hearts but it's insane nature is one of the reasons why I love the series as a whole.

What do you want revealed in Dark Road's ending?
I don't know to be honest. I suppose I want to see what becomes of Xehanort's peers and what sets him off to become the nort of today.

Everyone talks about RoxasXXion or RoxasXNamine
I ship Roxas with the stick, lol. In all seriousness I don't engage in serious shipping. I do love the various fanarts of shipping even if it's a pair I don't like, that's something I will always enjoy seeing artist do. Since we're talking Roxas ships, I don't ship him with anyone seriously. With Roxas and Xion I always see them as best friends which in Kingdom Hearts is far better then a romantic pair anyway. I love Roxas and Xion's relationship and I want to see it evolve even further, but not into a romance. I want to see them become even tighter friends. See them go to Twilight Town school together, spar together, joke around with one another. I don't want Xion to just become "Roxas's girlfriend" because that would just feel like a downgrade to me. I want her to be his equal able to hang with him. I want them to have the Hawkeye/Black Widow dynamic of loving one another but not being in love. These are my favorite boy/girl dynamics in fiction. With Roxas and Namine I'll tread lightly here. I never got into it. I get the appeal of it and why people like this pairing so much, but it's not for me. Even before Days came out it wasn't for me, even though this was built as something of a romance especially that KH2 ending. Truthfully I don't want Roxas romantic with anyone because he's not tied down to a single girl which means he can have one-on-one time with any female and not just his "girlfriend". Be it Xion, Namine, Olette or the shopkeeper. It's probably why they haven't made Sora and Kairi a official item yet, despite it being obvious, considering he dances with Ariel and Rapunzel all the time. Ultimately I prefer cheesy friendship stories over romantic ones. Friendships grow and include others, romance is tied to two people exclusively only. For a series like Kingdom Hearts friendships are better then romances.

*Spoilers* Kingdom Hearts Melody Of Memory Chat
Night of Fate was a previous KH song I didn't give much attention to. After playing it on MoM I have a new appreciation for it. It's one of those surprise songs I was able to get the All Excellent for. The track for it was surprisingly fun.

Hardest Song In Melody Of Memory
The hardest song? Depends on the Full Chain vs All Excellent route for me. Since this is asking Full Chain then Dark Domination on Proud Mode for me. It's brutal on the fingers, and I still haven't full chained it yet. Another challenge for me are all the bosses on Proud Mode to full chain. Mainly because I still mess up with the green holding notes portions that have you hold multiple of them at different times while also hitting separate notes alongside side them.

How can Kingdom Hearts IV improve over III?
I agree with a few options on that list. Especially the Sora, Riku, Kairi group. Long overdue for them to have something of a adventure together.
