what rumours we know it's gonna be on ue5

Ehh It's on the more comedic side of things The KH mangas tend to be, but CoM's manga in particular it's noticeable

Disney owns the IP. Kingdom Heart is a Disney franchise, and Disney can at any time just let someone other than SE make the games. Disney are fairly respectful of Nomura and his team though, and are fairly hands-off when it comes to the gameplay and KH original aspects. Disney's involvement in each world generally depends on if those who worked on the original property are still around, and guidelines offered by them.

Pretty much all of uX's concepts need reiterated to the main cast anyway And very little of uX is actually that relevant in the grand scheme of things Stuff like MoM's plan, Luxu and the Foretellers are going to need introduced to Sora. So we don't need any formal ooc recap And that covers the actual majorly important takeaways from uX

Then explain the point

KH3 was very heavily marketed

I don't know. Devs early on testing out the summon menu and putting in the name of Bahamut makes a lot of sense, especially if it was before they decided on what summons would appear. Bahamut being there is just a complete odditiy because there's nothing else associated with it, no code or interviews regarding it. Even in KH1 they use the names of FF monsters for Gummi Ships and Heartless KH1 has other pieces of unused content in the files still, so imho it's super odd that Bahamut has nothing beyond a name. So it would have had to be have been so early that they made nothing for it and it never made it past the "hey wouldn't this be neat phase", or it was just for testing

I don't get the point you're making Games have plenty of things that exist in the files that never winds up removed, but also wasn't ever meant to be used properly KH2's Detection Saber comes to mind It was purely to test hit detection

I don't believe the Bahamut being a summon in kh1 is neccassirly true It only exists as Debug text for the summon menu But there's no interviews, concept art, or any code beyond that single line of text It was likely a placeholder for the other summons, only meant to test functionality

Hikari has been remasted and remixed before in the past, it being rerecorded has little bearing on it's use in a KH game

He doesn't have to. But Disney are respectful enough of KH and fairly hands off with its management. They won't do anything beyond merchandising without SE involvement, for the time being.

insomnia is just irl tokyo which is now in KH

Because Disney owns the property, and Kingdom Hearts characters are absolutely allowed to fight eachother lol

But it's something they've scaled back on since Matsuda went Like with the recent Bring Arts figures no longer containing them

Their NFT projects have done fine in Japan They got backlash from westerners, but stuff like Million Arthur did completely fine

A lot of what you've probably heard is fear-mongering. SE has had it rough with releases like Avengers, or Babylon's Fall (Though they weren't developed by SE). The major thing is that FFXVI did really well, but it didn't do enough to win over shareholders after stuff like Babylon's Fall or Forspoken SE is still doing completely fine

Disney are confident enough in SE that they don't do anything major with Kingdom Hearts without their involvement. Merchandising or references is one thing, but they have a respect for Nomura and Square Enix when it comes to actually utilising the brand

Where am I being aggressive lol? I'm not blaming regular people for not knowing something I'm frustrated at the FF7 Localisers

People don't know the pronunciation of Cait Sith, so FF7 should do it properly

More that people's ignorance of a subject shouldn't be an excuse to do something incorrectly. If anything it should be done correctly

Most people don't have much familiarity with the mythological sources in FF. But that doesn't really matter lmao The JP says it correctly, and SE's other localisations have correctly said harder to say words, or used the correct pronunciations over what people use normally FFXIV got Canyatzo from Cagnazzo, FF continues to use If-reet instead of If-rit in certain things, etc

Irish and Scottish Gaelic both are endangered. Especially worse because both cultures have a history of systematic erasure from others

It's Cat-Shee It's literally a thing from mythology The localisers are being stupid smug about something even the japanese does correctly Source: Literally irish I'd like for millions of peoples only exposure to an endangered language be pronounced correctly

It was more for the "why did they backpedal from kh2"

Haley Joel Osment was literally a teenager when he recorded for KH2, it was his natural speaking voice.
