Same. Again, I would use Roxas anyway so I'm good. But my sister has a videogame crush on Riku. I know she'll be disappointed by no Riku.

Agreed. I mean I would use the Roxas one myself, but the fact that not all the characters are selectable is disappointing. Not even Riku is one. Now they might add more later So I won't complain. Still it's funny after a KH statement like "Everybody has their favorites" and a chunk of the characters are missing lol.

Things I would like to see? Oh gosh, so many to name. 1: Roxas being able to use the Samurais as summons when on missions. 2: The Pinocchio world that was scrapped for time. I can't believe a world like Neverland that really added nothing to Days was included, but a Pinocchio world that would have tied into the Replica aspect of the Organization, didn't make it in. One of the biggest crimes in Days. This world would have been great for the story. 3: More original missions. Instead of repeating the same missions over and over, create some tricky Heartless bosses to defeat. While the original game did do that, it was limited by the DS. A KH2 style format could have you hunting down some really wild Heartless with sneaky attack patterns that must be learned. I like the mission concept, I just don't think it was used to it's full potential. And the hardware it was on is part of the reason. 4: More Organization interactions with each other. Roxas has pretty solid interactions with all the Organization members he talks to, but we don't get to see them talk with one another that much. It does happen, but it's quite uncommon. I would like to start a day with Roxas entering the common room and he sees Xigbar, Luxord, Demyx, and Xaldin at the table playing a game of cards. Maybe one of them cheats and Luxord calls them out on it, or something funny like that. Just to show how the "bad guys" are like when not forcing people to open their hearts to darkness. 5: One big fight scene together. Either after or before Xion is inducted, I would have TWTNW under attack by a giant Heartless as the intro battle. In a rare occasion all 13 members fight off the giant Heartless and destroy it together. Just the sight of Xemnas-Roxas all fighting together would be a massive treat and would serve as a great opening title for 358/2 Days. It can show off all the Organization members powers as they slay the giant Heartless. It's something you wouldn't see anywhere else. 6: Other playable characters in storymode. Axel and Xion are a given, but maybe you could play as other characters too. like Xaldin stalking the Beast in Beast Castle when Roxas and Xion aren't there. Or how about while Roxas is training with Phil in Olympus, Demyx explores a bit and learns about the stone that he later steals from Hades in KH2. And on the missions with Roxas I would have the Organization team up with him more. 7: More worlds. Kinda ties in with my number 2 spot. But since Roxas acts differently in worlds then Sora, I don't see the harm in him having missions in new Disney worlds that Sora hadn't explored yet. And when you add in Xion and her memory bomb, it's the perfect excuse to wipe it away if you want to include that world in a future Sora title. 8: Gag reel. Something I wanted since I first finished the game. Have some fun with these guys. Xion in particular has so many comedy gold potential in how weird she is. Have one where all the Organization members see her doing something and they see someone else. Doesn't even have to be canon. Examples. Zexion and Lexaeus see her reading on the couch and they both see her as Riku. Larxene and Marluxia catch her using the Keyblade to scratch her back and see her as Namine. Saix sees her skipping in the halls and it's just a random puppet. The entire Organization watch her randomly dance for no reason and she morphs between Sora, Ventus, Roxas, Riku, Namine, Kairi, faceless puppet all in under 30 seconds and it baffles them. The possibilities are endless XD 9: Coliseum style battles with Roxas and his team. Make it fully customizable where Roxas can teamup with any Organization member. Even the the Castle Oblivion ones. This is a non canon section of the game. Xemnas-Xion are all available for Roxas to partner with as they battle swarms of powerful Heartless. 10: Heartless Organization XIII. Being a side game I would create a side mission where there was a Organization XIII knock off made up of 13 Heartless and a weird 14th Heartless puppet that Roxas runs into every now and again on missions. Kinda like the Mushroom XIII but these would be different Heartless species. They would be secret enemies to encounter and Roxas. Maybe take one down with Xaldin at Beast Castle, another one with Xion in Agrabah, Demyx in Olympus, Axel in Twilight Town, you get the idea. I think that would be a cool side enemy for the Organization to have when not dealing with Riku. That's all I can think of for now for a 358/2 Final Mix. I really wish one existed.

Critical Mode, Xion story, and more? I'm hyped. I certainly hope they add TAV, RAX, and Riku and Kairi as playable party members for optional stuff. Maybe hopefully take pictures with them. I'm still bummed I cannot take pictures with my favorite characters. But yeah, count me in on wanting to replay KH3 even more

I enjoyed KH3. And while I did have my issues with the game, the positives outweigh the negatives. Honestly DLC's can fix all the problems I had with the game. The difficulty wasn't one of my issues either. I play KH games all the time so it's only natural I'd be good at KH3. This is a game I'm certainly going to replay again and it gave me wonderful moments of tearful emotions. Overall this game has strengthened my love for the series.

That's a fun idea for sure. Me personally, I would just add more to the Battlegates. I actually like the idea of Battlegates over another tournament in Hercules world. You get different battle music and new environments to battle in instead of that stuffy old Coliseum arena. You also get to add the Disney world characters to your roster in the Battlegates, which made it more fun for me. What they should do is expand the Battlegates in each world they appear. You are allowed up to four party members in KH3. Have the Guardians of Light be options for party members. That's Aqua, Terra, Ventus, Roxas, Axel, Xion, Kairi, Riku, and Mickey in addition to Donald and Goofy. You can select up to four of them if you want. This gives the guardians more playtime and you can see what they can really do. Doesn't have to be four. If you want it can be three, two, or you could have the option of going alone in the Battlegates. I'm sure many fans would love to customize their own Kingdom Hearts dream team. I know I would. Bring back some old bosses and make them more powerful. The Seekers of Darkness are a obvious must. Bring them back as the bosses of the different Battlegates and give them near superboss stats to make the battles fun and exciting. Example Larxene would be the finally Battlegate boss in Arendelle, and Vanitas for Monstropolis. Add evil Aqua to their ranks and we can watch Aqua literally beat herself up. The final Battlegate could be fighting all the Seekers. Whether all together or in different rounds, I don't know. So yeah, that's what I would do. The Battlegates was a good idea for postgame battles but I would have added more to them.

My older sister got me into the game in the summer of 2007. At first I wasn't interested, but she got me to play it, and slowly but surely it became my favorite video game franchise over the years. Because I started late I got to play Kh1 and KH2 back to back without a wait. And it wasn't long for 358/2 Feels to come out shortly after and here I am. I'm in this for the long run. KHer for life!

I'll list the playable worlds.

I think I've had enough time to gather up all my thoughts on the monster game called Kingdom Hearts 3. So here's my little review on it. I did have lots of fun. I think the positives of the game due outweigh the negatives and the worlds are beautiful. Especially when you can dive into the water. My favorite worlds probably look like this. 1. Toy Box 2. Monstropolis 3. Olympus 4. San Fransokyo 5. Kingdom of Cornoa 6. The Caribbean 7. Arendelle I didn't count Twilight Town and Keyblade Graveyard. Otherwise Graveyard wins. The gameplay was fun, though a bit easy. I thought I would be dying left and right on Proud Mode. The hardest sections of the game is when the introduced new minigames or battle mechanics that you have to learn to progress (Caribbean) and on those portions I failed a lot before I got the hang of it. But it's good learning curve. Honestly the only world I wasn't a big fan of was Arendelle. Love Frozen, but I don't love lazy retellings, so that's a big strike against it. I really loved the Keyblade transformations. They made combat really fun for me, and I experimented with every Keyblade I won. Wasn't a big fan of the attraction flows. They seemed to pop up every time I wanted to transform my Keyblade, so then I would have to cancel that and get back to my Keyblade transformation. I think I prefer reaction commands over them, but I'm not sure if I prefer Drive Forms or Keyblade transfomations. The next stuff I should put in spoilers. So that's my review on the game. It's longer then I expected and probably some spelling errors. Feel free to share your thoughts on the game too.

That portion of the game has certainly raised some questions and even some theories on youtube, but your analysis pretty much cleared that up. But if they do a Final Mix, I think a additional cutscene or two would help clear the confusion for everyone.

Wow! Excellent detailed analysis on that!

Fighting the other ships is probably the best way. Not only will you sometimes get crabs while doing it, your party also levels up doing it too. The pirate ships give big experience points. I was in my 40's by the time I left the Caribbean.

LOL! It's funny that a game based on friendships, pure hearts, and light has generated so much hatred and darkness. Maybe this was Xehanort's plan all along XD In all seriousness I've said in another post that I have my share of problems with KH3. This was not a masterpiece, but I also really loved some of the things they did in the game too. I think the reason I'm not raging or ranting is because most of my issues can be fixed with either a Final Mix or some patches showing additional cutscenes. Perhaps the days of KH explaining some of it's lore in report notes are over and they should verbally explain from now on. That would fix one of the complaints I've heard some are confused about. Again I have some issues with the game myself and somethings I wished were handled better. But this certainly doesn't taint my love for Kingdom Hearts. I'm already dreaming of KH4. I'm in this for the long run!

I've seen so many rants on KH3 since I finished the game. The hype was simply too strong and it seems like people were expecting much more. I think it's just that negative rants get more attention then positive stuff. At least to me. I have my share of problems with KH3 but overall I quite loved the experience and would certainly play the game again.

The music was all fine for me. Can't think of a track that I didn't like. It's rare that I dislike a Kingdom Hearts track.

Nice review! I just finished the game myself. Once I gather all my thoughts I'll do a mini review myself!
