Over time, I had thought of a way that Oswald could effectively be incorporated into Kingdom Hearts III. So, Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was originally going to be Disney's mascot instead of Mickey Mouse. Universal and Disney struck a contract and they both owned the rights to this new popular rabbit. Long story short, Universal turned against Disney and many of Disney's animators left the studio to join Universal with Oswald's success. Walt Disney gave up on Oswald and tried to create a character that could beat Universal's lucky rabbit with his now small team. The odds were slim, but then Mickey Mouse was born, and we all know the story from there. Interestingly enough, Disney eventually managed to get the rights back to Oswald from Universal through an extensive trade in 2006. My, how the tables have turned. Oswald is commonly known for his appearances in the Epic Mickey franchise as a antagonist turned to a ally, representing his abnormal history. Now how can Oswald be put into KH3? Disney technically do have the rights to Oswald, so he does have a chance of appearing in Kingdom Hearts III. We can give him a background as brother to Mickey in the game. He is a keyblade wielder like Mickey and was meant to be crowned King of Disney Castle. He was given all of the secrets and important information and history surronding the castle. He was to be king, that is, until Oswald was consumed by the heartless and banished to another world, perhaps Wasteland, the central setting for Epic Mickey. After some time, Maleficent finds Oswald like she did with Pete and sensed his darkness. She thought that having a keyblade bearer with the power of darkness and knowledge upon Disney Castle would be quite useful. Oswald joins Maleficent's side when hearing that he could have a chance of being king again. Time for the brilliance. Perhaps Maleficent had aquired Oswald sometime between KH2 and 3D. We found that in the new Re:coded scene introduced in 2.5 that Maleficent knows about the Book of Prophecies and how it can help her. So in 3D she tries to take the world's data. Maleficent could just ask Oswald to help her find it, but Maleficent worries that if Oswald comes along, then he might be powerful enough to overthrow her. Instead, she tries a forceful approach like in 3D, but fails. Now she sees the only way to get access to the world's data is through Oswald's information in KHIII. Funny thing is, they are successful. In the secret Unchained Zero scene in χ[chi], we see Maleficent in Enchanted Dominion. This normally would be no big deal but she speaks of Sora, and that time period no one should know him. It is suggested and hinted that the entire universe of χ[chi] is being told through the Book of Prophecies. So Maleficent was successful? Also note that in her dialogue she says, "It seems it went well," possibly meaning that Oswald'a lead was right. She also says, "Where in the world did he go to again?" "He" could mean Oswald, and he does have a record of being quick to act, and in another translation Maleficent said "he" was a fool, that could also fall under Oswald. He could continue to have a fierce rivalry with Mickey through the game but learn to fall as allies like in Epic Mickey. So what do you guys think about this? Remember, this is just speculation, but this lucky rabbit's appearance is not entirely impossible.

Watching gameplay of KH2 FM just makes me want to play the game (yet again) but I was watching the guy travel through space to the worlds and i was just thinking of literally how beautiful the world map will be on KH3. How they may execute it, maybe the change it to behin the back and you have to maneuver through space sort of like an overworld and the stars and clouds are going to be so beautiful and im crying while i type this oh my god i cant wait NOMURA JESUS FACK HELP US

Do you think we are going to get any clues in kingdom hearts 3 about what the next Sega is going to be like?

So i've been playing a couple KH games for the first time, BBS and DDD, and something different i notice about all the games is how you travel from world to world. In kingdom hearts 1, its a relatively simple system where you fly through space one directionally and shoot enemies. KH2 build on this idea and made it a lot harder/more strategic. However, in BBS, you fly a keyblade glider between worlds, and in DDD, you drop. I was wondering if you guys had any predictions for the direction that they will go for KH3? I dont think it will be too similar to BBS or DDD because Sora will be with Donald and Goofy, So i would say that its very likely that we see a gummi ship world travel system again in KH3. I think it will be a lot harder, and maybe even will be multi directional as far as movement goes. What are you guys thoughts on this? Will they stick with a gummi ship system, use something like BBS or DDD, or will it be a totally new system that we havent yet seen? Let me know so we can discuss

Little quick sketch that i do before i go to bed

Spoilers under cut for those whom do not wish to see anything of the Kingdom Hearts 2.8 cinematic, or spoilers of possible KH3. Unofficial discussion!

Hey wassup guys, I haven't posted here in a while and thats due to me being busy with school and stuff. But I recorded this video the other day because it was just something that popped up in my mind like What if Kingdom Hearts 3 or Kingdom Hearts in general got its own animated series similar to Final Fantasy Brotherhood. It's a concept that I thought was pretty interesting so I decided to make a video on it . Well i'm not gonna explain to much here if you wanna hear my full thoughts on the topic I put a link to the video in this Topic. Anyways Thanks for your time hope you enjoy! :D

If I'm talking like an idiot again, I apologize. According to Xehanort at the end of Dream Drop Distance (I'm not believing a single word he says because he lies like a crusty old rug but we don't really have much of a choice at the moment), the original X-Blade was shattered by some unknown means into seven fragments of pure Light and thirteen fragments of pure Darkness and he plans to recreate it with the same method. Question 1A) If, according to Xehanort, the thirteen fragments of Darkness were lost in the Realm Of Darkness for eons, how does using thirteen new Darknesses equate to the same thing? Wouldn't that mean he's creating another fake like he did before? Question 1B) If the seven fragments of Light became the Hearts of the seven Princesses, would that mean the thirteen Darknesses became Hearts of pure Darkness as well? And if so, does that mean the reforging of the the X-Blade will cause the hearts of the heroes and the Seekers to erupt from their chests, join together, and coalesce into the X-Blade, including Xehanort's? How does he expect to wield it it if he more or less dies in the process of its making? Question 2) Let's say Xehanort wins and he get the X-Blade and then proceeds to kick off Keyblade War II, how does he expect that to happen if by that point he's the only Keyblade wielder left? Not really much of a war if it's just one person. Are all the Keyblades in the Keyblade Graveyard suddenly going to fly into the sky, travel to all the worlds, land in people's hands and send them into a universe ending berserker rage?

So this video talks about some of the things I see that the three HD covers have in common and what I think they could have that will connect to Kingdom Hearts 3

So obviously, we haven't met the original personas of the non-RG Org13 members. Do you think we'll meet them again in KHIII? Will they be in separate worlds, or the same one? Are they from a world we've been to before? Will they be antagonists or allies? What would their aims be? How would they react to seeing Sora again? Would they still be able to use their powers? And obviously, what could their names be? I have so many questions about this group, and I really hope we get answers to these during KHIII. I'd personally love to see them in their normal outfits, out of their cloaks. What about you guys?

Which Nobody would you want to return in Kingdom Hearts III?

So, there's this place that i'm working at. Some of the people I work with like Kingdom Hearts, which is amazing because I haven't found anyone in person to talk to about the game before. One of them said that his older brother or friend got to play Kingdom Hearts 3 early as a beta tester or something. This is what he told me: - Kingdom Hearts 3 will have Star Wars and Frozen. (Frozen doesn't surprise me, but Star Wars?) - Sora, Riku, and Kairi will be playable, and you will be able to switch between them at any time. (My guess for this is that you play Sora and unlock Riku and Kairi for later.) - There will be some sort of collector's edition giving Sora a new outfit, and including some kind of unique Keyblade? - You can bring party members to worlds other than their own. - You'll start as Roxas in the beginning again. I'm normally very wary when it comes to misinformation, so I'm taking this with a grain of salt. I'd prefer to only believe things that appear on KH13, KH Insider, or something that Square puts together, themselves. Thoughts?

It seems like this is becoming normal for us now, . Thanks to our fabulous news translator, Catherine Mueller, we were the only ones to provide translations to a very 'sudden' Nomura interview with Dengeki PlayStation. With that said, our article on the 1.5/2.5/2.8 cover artwork message toward KH3 got looks from IGN, and they gave us a shout for the translations. Wonder when we'll get a wiki page of our own. Haha.

What other classic Disney theme park attractions would you like to see in KH3's Attraction Flow feature?

During an interview with Dengeki PlayStation, Tetsuya Nomura, director of the Kingdom Hearts series has revealed that the cover artwork for Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, 2.5 ReMIX, & HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue all connect together as a hidden message for Kingdom Hearts III. Tetsuya Nomura says that the 3 pieces of artwork start with Sora sitting, then standing, and finally walking. There is also a flow of time with the 3 pieces of artwork, where 1.5 is sunset becoming night, 2.5 is in the middle of the night, & 2.8 is night breaking into dawn. All of this connects to a hidden message for Kingdom Hearts III. You can read Nomura's answer below, thanks to Catherine Mueller (nichiei.translations@gmail.com) for the translations. While it is uncertain what this message is, this is something for fans to think about as we wait for the release of Kingdom Hearts III. What do you think this hidden message could be?
