"Kingdom Hearts III features a mature Sora as the main protagonist whosets forth on an adventure with Mickey, Donald and Goofy through new andlegendary Disney worlds. Kingdom Hearts III will make full use of nextgeneration console technologies to showcase a stunning universe packedfull of worlds based on Disney properties."

 

A MATURE SORA? Are you kidding me? They better not actually make Sora mature and turn him into Riku.

[Demyx. 10,064]

Probably just means older. Riku isn't even mature. He's angsty.

I think that by mature, he meant older and more experienced with the Keyblade. Not personality wise.

[Silvia Kuroi 1,480]

I hope they just mean an older Sora. Sora's always been that immature teen who was silly when he needed to be.

They better not take that away.

I doubt it. I mean, look at SORA IN DDD. He's more laidback then in the previous games. And KH3 obviously takes place directly after KH3D, since Xehanorts not going to wait a couple months to enact his plan to forge the X-Blade, so that doesn't give Sora any time to actually age significantly.

[Hei 3,233]

Let's hope he's not such a doofus in KH3

[waffle 82]

think about it this way, the old sora is like regular naruto and the new one will be like shippuden.

He's still not mature. How was he more laid back? o.O

[Junko 2,815]

Mature you say? It could just mean older but if not then that would be something interesting to see

I doubt Sora's personality would change that quickly, either. They know that that's one of the things he's most famous for.

[WakelessDream 2,279]

I always took "mature Sora" as meaning Sora in his KH2 form, as opposed to the original KH younger Sora we've seen in recent titles.  I'm sure in KH3 he'll still be the silly Sora we've all come to know and love.

MATURE DOESN'T NESSESSARILY MEANS OLD

 

Maybe he got a little bit mature in attitude and became a little bit more serious

 

IT hasn't been a year since the event of KH3D so he can't be growing up more than a couple of days

[Reyn 1,755]

Compared to KH2, he was more laid back and more of an idiot hero in DDD, because the Mark of Mastery was supposed to just be an exam, that wasn't supposed to be dangerous, so he didn't take it seriously. It was how the new Org. took him by surprise and managed to kidnap him.

Maybe. But he was only more mature in KH2 because he had to focused in order to rescue Kairi and Riku.

[Shana09 5,769]

What did you expect the kid's personality to be like after being abducted by a Xehanort and to have a Xehanort inside him to be part Xehanort, and then surviving knowing that he is going to fight in an upcoming war against Darkness and the 13 Xehanorts. I don't think he would be prancing around like a 2 year old.

He's always been laid back and has never taken things very seriously.

[Dracozombie 4,554]

You can be more experienced and worldly without losing the core aspect of your personality.  Sora is plenty serious--he understands his friends and the heart and how much he needs to do to help everyone.  He gets his act together when facing down baddies; it's his outlook on life that's cheerful and laidback.  A mature Sora can be cheerful and laidback and apply that mindset in a mature way.

 

Being serious or not constantly happy is not the same as being angsty, guys.  I'm sick of people thinking "OMG he's not a happy parakeet HE'S EMOOOO!!1" because yeah how dare someone have problems and express them.  Emo git, grow a pair.

I think he just learned from his experiences from KH3D. Getting knocked out a couple times and Nortnapped.

[NO_HEART_XIII 312]

Well this is some serious stuff, so Sora better get his act together a little bit. Xehanort doesn't mess around, y'know? Riku was my favorite character in the KH1 & CoM days, but I'm finding it harder and harder to like him with each new installment, so I hope they don't ruin the Sora we love like they did to Riku.

I think a ''mature Sora'' would be mature in a Keyblade-wise sense. He's been just beating villains around without much training, so I suppose it means he's ready and prepared enough to take on threats of an even higher level, like Xehanort and the Seekers of Darkness.

[Squall Leonhart 49]

i hope they do make him more mature, they can still have the same old sora and make him more mature

[VeNate13 144]

I think they mean he's just going to be older. Heck I bet he'll be just has laid back has ever.

[riku13 148]

Probably just mean an Older Sora.

[Lalalablah 1,538]

I expected mature personality wise and a change in age.
