How? How is it possible to Full Chain The 13th Struggle? It's on the same level of impossible as Dark Domination :O

I'm foolishly hoping they are currently demaking the KH3 worlds with their songs for DLC content. I know that's not likely, but I want to keep hope alive. I want more Melody of Memory content to play.

*Spoilers* Kingdom Hearts Melody Of Memory Chat
I would love some new songs in Melody of Memory. I'm currently running out of songs to Full Chain...even on Proud Mode. At least the ones I really want to. And there is so much in the Kingdom Hearts music library to add. I really want the KH3 soundtrack complete with the ReMind remixes. I hope dlc is coming because I play this game like everyday and would love more content.

Which '80's Disney film would you like to see become a world in Kingdom Hearts?
My vote goes to the Great Mouse Detective. It's a KH world I've wanted for years. I would love it's inclusion. I haven't seen Black Cauldron, I've only seen parts of the Fox and the Hound and I saw Oliver and Company only once when I was little and don't remember much about it. So I cannot comment on the others.

If you could choose any Final Fantasy character to appear in the KH series who would you want?
The ones I would like to see are Rinoa, Gilgamesh, Balthier, Serah Farron, Princess Garnet, Best girl Refia, Faris and Lenna, Cecil Harvey, Kefka, and Terra Brandford. Edit: I guess I'll explain why. 1: Rinoa~ I love Rinoa and would enjoy seeing her meet and befriend Sora. 2: Gilgamesh~ Boss fight with multiple Keyblade arms. 3: Balthier~ Gummi Ship expert who meets Sora and friends and helps out, for a price. 4: Serah~ Because I like her more then her sister, Lightning, and would rather see her. 5: Princess Garnet~ Maybe we could have some Final Fantasy pure heart princesses? 6: Best Girl Refia~ She is best girl and I'd love to have her in KH. 7: Faris and Lenna~ Same as Garnet, maybe Lenna is a new pure princess, with Faris trying to protect her. 8: Cecil~ Cool factor. I'd enjoy seeing him make a appearance. 9: Kefka~ One of the most iconic villains in Final Fantasy. Let's see him fight Sora. 10: Terra Brandford~ She would be such a great addition to the Kingdom Hearts world.

Who do you think Demyx is?
Who is Demyx? I dunno. There was a time I would have liked to just seen him as some random sitar player that got turned into a Nobody, but I suppose that's too easy. I don't like the idea of him being the Master of Masters or time displaced, but the latter seems likely. I'm hoping he's like Luxord and from Quadratum. That seems interesting enough.

Characters who were unique but now aren't
To further this, Xion use to be viewed as a very unusual and unique character in the series. She was weird! There use to be a big deal on what you saw when you looked at her, and only those close to her saw the identity she selected for herself. Compare how people react to meeting her in Days compared to KH3. Back then having Kairi's face and Sora's Keyblade was shocking. In KH3 I don't think a single person was surprised to see a third Kairi pop out of nowhere, not even Kairi herself. Sora doesn't even question it despite never meeting her, and her having a copy of his Keyblade, though Axel and Kairi do comment on that. Remember when Saix only saw a faceless puppet doll when seeing Xion, what was his reaction to seeing the real thing? I guess it's just not important anymore. I also want to address the Roxas/Xion as regular somebodies/human talk going on in here too. I agree with it. I was so split on if Roxas and Xion should return. On one hand I would love to see them continue in other games if they are well written (and that's a topic for another thread) but on the other hand their stories captivated me so much that I didn't want it undone. I liked that they were not human, that despite being a Nobody and a Replica they still managed to form bonds, feel emotions, care for one another and become a weird family with Axel. They didn't need Organization XIII's fake Kingdom Hearts to give them hearts of their own. They already achieved their own versions of hearts by simply being friends together. By making the new Replicas basically like somebodies, yes it does feel like a reward for them, but it also strips away the powerful message of anything in the KH universe can grow a heart.

Characters who were unique but now aren't
I was going to make a list but Double OKP nearly listed everything I was going to say. Especially in regards to Roxas, Xion, Sora, and Apprentice Xehanort. Still I will stubbornly make one anyway lol. 1: Roxas~ Roxas use to be very unique among the Organization. No memories, amnesia, Keyblade wielder. This was unheard of among Nobodies. Roxas use to be a big deal in the Organization but now? Now we have like potentially six wielders in the Organization, made worse by the fact that Xemnas knew numbers 9-12 were connected to Keyblades. I don't know if Luxord or Demyx were wielders, but Roxas's importance in the group feels lost now. Marluxia also has memory issues, just like Roxas, and use to wield a Keyblade. If Xemnas experimented on him I'm sure they could find a way for him to summon his Keyblade back. Also Xemnas now has two Keyblade wielders he's connected to and should be able to dual wield. I'm bias since Roxas is my favorite character. 2: Xion~ Xion was originally made to replace Roxas due to their Keyblade connection. She was special because of her ties to Roxas and Sora. While she's still kinda unique, a lot of it has gone away. Now that characters can use Replica bodies for whoever needs a body, Xion's Replica story almost feels secondary to how KH3 used them. I always loved how weird Xion operated, being a Replica, her hood trick, everything. But all that feels like it's not there anymore due to the new Replica lore. 3: Sora~ I feel like Sora being a Keyblade wielder is no longer this unique thing. It's not that I don't like that there are other Keyblade wielders. I love me some Keyblades. But I feel they downgrade Sora to prop up the master title and it shows in the games following BBS. Sora didn't get passed down the power, he earned it. He is literally one of the few characters who truly earned a Keyblade. But they have been backpedaling that point. Now he feels like a random wild card rather then a hero to be respected. 4: Apprentice Xehanort~ Basically this guy isn't a character anymore. Ever since we got old man Xehanort and Terranort, this version has just become non-existent. Even with Melody of Memory when they try to give him a role, now he feels like a character completely separate from the Xehanort line period. His story with Ansem the Wise use to be something worth exploring. Now it feels like a waste of time, because I know who this guy really is is far above Ansem the Wise. 5: Ansem and Xemnas~ Once DDD revealed they were doing old man Xehanort's bidding to some degree, these two major villains of KH1 and KH2/Days felt like pawns and lackeys. Now whenever I look at their plans I wonder if it's there's or the old mans? 6: Ansem the Wise~ Remember when this guy was Xemnas's arch enemy? Remember the story of him losing his name, kingdom, and everything to Apprentice Xehanort? This all feels unimportant now to the stuff that has been going on. Yensid replaced him as a reliable source of knowledge for Mickey. A relic of the past 7: Riku~ I'm putting him here because now we have a lot of characters that use to be bad but are now good whether they were under possession or not. Isa, Axel, Terra, almost every Organization member. Just remember Riku was the original bad boy turned good. 8: Mickey~ Shocking choice huh? Mickey use to be a voice of wisdom and a leader. But like Ansem the Wise, Yensid has replaced him as the wisest character in the series. Mickey also use to be really powerful back in the day. Now he feels like everyone else, not special at all.

Which optional side content took you the longest to complete in Kingdom Hearts III?
I'll say the Flantastic Seven. I never did get far in the cooking mini game so I never completed it.

Ranking the KH games from favorite to least favorite
1: Kingdom Hearts~ For gameplay and story this would equal my number one favorite game overall. It's simple, easy to follow, really fun to play and explore. I love everything about KH1. The original story, the Disney Worlds and how they were used, Sora's friendship with Donald and Goofy. The Riku rivalry, even Kairi for her limited screentime was a cute character. The FF characters were used well and this is the one title I always return to for a relaxing good time. It's got it all. 2: 358/2 Days~ For gameplay it's near the bottom, but story wise it's my second favorite in the series. I've never be emotionally engaged in a video game story before Days came along. This game turned a character I was lukewarm on (Roxas) into my all time favorite character. It made me love Organization XIII when I previously soured on them. It gave me Xion and my favorite trio of the series, the Sea-Salt Trio, and that alone makes me return to play the DS game, even though it's not the best to play. As said it's repetitive and some missions go from boring to tedious. But it's all worth it for the amazing characters the game gave me. 3: Kingdom Hearts 3~ Gameplay wise this is my second favorite KH game. Storywise, I'd rank KH1, Days, and maybe CoM above this one. What really put this one so high on the list is ReMind and Limitcut. Those contents alone were amazing and I love Data Greeting and fighting the Data Organization. The Disney Worlds were a improvement over KH2's but still didn't match KH1. Best Gummi Ship gameplay in the series, and the Keyblade Graveyard reunions are some of my favorite moments in the series. The added DLC content just made it all even better. 4: Melody of Memories~Story wise probably one of the worst if not the worst. The reason it ranks so high is the gameplay. This is the most addictive gameplay I have ever done, and I previously was not into rhythm games. I love the music, the tracks, the visual worlds we run through. Playing as my favorite trio in any world I want, you better believe I used RAX forever. Collect the cards of my favorite characters and enemies. Full chain and All Excellent songs and improve my score. I love this game, it didn't even need a story. That's why it ranks so high on my list because of the gameplay. This is also the first (and only) game I platinum'd. If not for gameplay this would be at the very bottom of my list. 5: Chain of Memories~The reverse Melody of Memories. I cannot stand the card battle system at all. This is bottom tier in terms of gameplay for me. But I adore the story. I prefer Riku's story over Sora's, but the latters isn't too bad. I think this batch of Organization members were more memorable in this game then most of the ones introduced in KH2, honestly. At least Larxene, Vexen, and Marluxia. The game setup a lot of stuff lore wise for the series, and even though I'm neutral on her today, Namine was absolutely lovable in this game. 6: Kingdom Hearts 2~ I am one of the biggest nitpickers of this game. Gameplay wise I will agree this is a near masterpiece of a game, with good controls, solid bosses, and cool enemy designs. I say near because things like the Light Cycle and flying carpet segments exist. Story wise This game is good but not nearly as great as everyone makes it out to be. This game has aged the worse due to all the retcons the series has undergone and now certain things in this game no longer hit as hard as they were intended. Organization XIII was pretty generic here too, I appreciate them today, but back then I remember not being terribly impressed with any of them minus Xemnas, Axel, and Demyx. The Disney Worlds are hit or miss. Some are the best in the overall series and others are the worst. The Sora, Riku, Kairi reunion however still remains one of my fave moments in the series. Also the KH2 Manga is way cooler then the game. 7: Birth By Sleep~ Looking back at the history of this game, this is where most of the big retcons started. Some are good, some are bad, some are really confusing. Gameplay wise this as a okay title. Better then Days and CoM but not on the level of the main numbered titles, in fact this game made me appreciate those titles more. Storywise this is where things get interesting. I think the story of BBS is very good. The characters, however needed some work. I didn't really get invested in the Wayfinder Trio as a trio until 0.2, KH3, and the BBS novel. They aren't bad characters, but I never bought into them being the close friends the game kept telling me they were. They are much better now, but this was a rocky start. But I did like them as individuals. 8: Dream Drop Distance~From here on out I cannot judge by gameplay because these are the games I never played only watched the cutscenes or read their novels. DDD I have never played, but the story I watched and later read. It's not as bad as many make it out to be. I don't mind time travel, but this game made it so complicated that it's almost hard to enjoy. They also tried to tie everything together when it didn't need to be and that's why so many inconsistent messiness comes from this game. KH3 unfortunately continues some of the trends found in this game. That said it has good stuff in it too storywise. It gave me Sora meeting Roxas and actually talking to him. KH2 didn't even do that. 9: ReCoded~ This one is good for the characters of Data Sora, Riku, Roxas, and Namine. I think all of them were charming data clones of the real thing. In my opinion Data Sora and Data Roxas had better first interactions then the real ones in KH2. Yes I am shading KH2 a lot now. Otherwise nothing really happens here. 10: The rest~ I view all the Union X/Chi/Back Cover stuff the same. Interesting stories that caught my attention but minus like a select few, their characters all need work. I can't tell you anything about the Dandelions because they don't feel like real characters, that I'm attached too. Master of Masters and Ava are the only ones I truly like. I don't really count 0.2 as it's own thing. Separated the list looks like this. Story 1: Kingdom Hearts 2: 358/2 Days 3: Kingdom Hearts III 4: Chain of Memories 5: Birth By Sleep/0.2/ Kingdom Hearts II 6:Dream Drop Distance/ReCoded 7:Union X/Back Cover 8:Melody of Memories Gameplay 1: Kingdom Hearts 2: Kingdom Hearts III 3: Melody of Memories 4: Kingdom Hearts II 5: Birth By Sleep 6: 358/2 Days 7: Chain if Memories Edit: I just can never decide if I like BBS or KHII more as a story so they are tied. Same with DDD and Coded.

I would gladly get a DLC for this. I want more KH3 music content, hopefully in field battle mode...and some bonus teams and alternate skins for the teams too.

What songs would you of added into the game?
The Deep End Night on Bald Mountain 100 Acre Woods and the mini game theme Graceful Assassin The Corrupted Nearly every track in KH3, ranging from Toy Box Jam, to Monstropolis's regular and fire themes, to Olympus and the titans, to Hearts as One, Replicas, Face My Fears and more.

I've gone back and gotten a few AE's on Beginner and even Standard songs.I was able to AE Vector to the Heavens on Beginner and Standard. I tried to do it on Proud, but I barely can get a A+++ Full Chain on it regularly.

Whats your favourite Organization XIII weapon?
I don't want to count Keyblades, as I feel it's cheating. So I'll make a list without the Keyblades. 1: Lunatic (Saix) 2: Arpeggio (Demyx) 3: Lindworm (Xaldin) 4: Graceful Dahlia (Marluxia) 5: Ethereal Blades (Xemnas) 6: Eternal Flames (Axel) 7: Sharpshooter (Xigbar) 8: Book of Retribution (Zexion) 9: Fair Game (Luxord) 10: Skysplitter (Lexaeus) 11: Foudre (Larxene) 12: Frozen Pride (Vexen)

Idea For a Time Travel Based Game
Some of these are interesting ideas. Like explaining how character can change time, though Sora did pay a price for it ultimately. I'm not against time travel, but KH has really abused the idea so much that I'd prefer they back off it for awhile at least. I would like to see a game with Sora, Riku, and Kairi going on a adventure together. I know that's been said a lot but hey!

Which side do you prefer heroes or villains?
This is quite the interesting question. For me I prefer the characters I can relate to on a personal level. Ones that I enjoy seeing interact with one another, and who's stories unfold as we go on a journey with them. Being entertaining also helps too. Doesn't matter if it is a hero or villain. Both have those characters on their sides. Basically the characters I know inside and out and are well fleshed out are the ones I prefer. But to dig further into it, the original Organization XIII is one of my favorite elements of Kingdom Hearts, because of all the dynamics that go into. The politics they employ, the hierarchy, the backstabbing, the coworker relationships, the planning, the history, and why they are needed in the group. Almost everything I love about Organization XIII. That being said not all the Organization members fit the category I stated above, or only fit one. Most of the Organization members started out as stereotypes and archetypes. The ones the deviate from those and have more then one character trait are the standouts of the group, and get extra story. However some of the more static members are the ones that really don't get story and are just there with their one personality trait. They are still very entertaining but not fleshed out. With the heroes it's a little easier for the ones you play as, since its easy to get attached to them since you go through their story with them. That being said not all the heroes are as fleshed out as they can be. There is even a few characters we still don't really know much about, despite them being on the covers of big KH titles.

Do you think Roxas should get the option to beat up Xemnas?
You do get to beat him up in ReMind with Roxas. I don't know what more you can do with this. I want a Days Remake, but it doesn't need a Roxas vs Xemnas beat down in story. There is a way to have it happen and not be canon maybe. Olympus Coliseum is in Days. You could put the Organization in their for non canon superboss fights, difficulty Data Org level. That should satisfy. But otherwise, I don't see a reason for Xemnas vs Roxas in any new game.

*Spoilers* Kingdom Hearts Melody Of Memory Chat
I've been on a role lately playing MoM. Managed to Full Chain 15 Level songs like "All For One" and "Old Friends, old Rivals." My fingers nearly fell off. I never expected to be able to do that much button mashing so fast lol.

What is your least favorite thing in KHIII and/or Re:Mind?
I really wanted to see all 13 members sitting on their throne with Master Xehanort addressing as being the worthy of his true Organization. As well as see some new interactions. Like how about Dark Riku and Terranort? They'd be a twisted version of Riku and Terra. Or Larxene and Vanitas? I was shocked we didn't get the 13 full seats scene that didn't happen in DDD.
-
What is your least favorite thing in KHIII and/or Re:Mind?
There is a lot of stuff KH3 disappointed me with. I'll say the characters lack of screen time as it can tie in with a lot of the problems with KH3. I wanted more screentime with the characters and while we got some memorable stuff with that at the end, it was very rushed. This also ties into character interaction. We never get all 13 Seekers of Darkness interacting together in the game. Very sad. But I wanted the main cast to interact and talk more. ReMind barely scratched that itch, it just made me want more.

*Spoilers* Kingdom Hearts Melody Of Memory Chat
Wow! Just the idea of doing the Proud Mode songs blindfolded. That sounds like Super Critical Mode. You must be super skilled at these songs to do them. No matter how good I get at the songs I practice a lot, I still have to occasionally see the target circles on enemies. I have to see your channel to watch these.

*Spoilers* Kingdom Hearts Melody Of Memory Chat
Huh, so if you are blindfolded, how will you know if there are multiple enemies for one note?
