Come on Kitase projects...

Hopefully he unveils something new. FF12 HD would be great, but I still (secretly) want FFX-3.

Both are likely. And they can easily do both since they just did the XIII trilogy and X/X-2 HD Remaster at the same time.

Heh, the NEW TRAILER DChiuch speaks of concerning 2.5 has me thinking another teaser for KH3 will be included. Of course, it might probably be the same trailer, but I'm getting a good feeling we are in for a hefty surprise. ;)

The fact that there is no BBS multiplayer saddens me.... I feel like that is a HUGE lost opportunity...

 

You won't be saying that when you play Kingdom Hearts III. You'll be like "I'm glad they didn't delay this game by 3 or so months just for multiplayer in Birth by Sleep."
