Dual wielding needs to come back

it wouldn't let me name my me me bunny "Thumper" because apparently that's inappropriate

The cut scenes keep the story long, but the initial run through without trying to get everything is too short, i agree

Is it just me or did the flowmotion look slightly better in the beta?

Before, the explanation for gold eyes and pointy ears was because of prolonged exposure to darkness, but that seems to have shifted to being part of Xehanort. So if the latter is true, that would mean Ansem the Wise is one of his vessels as well, right?

I want to know what happens after you complete the game. It seems like it'd be pretty obnoxious to force a drop when you're trying to tie up loose ends with just one character like getting to level 99 or finding treasures and whatnot

Just considering that mark hamill plays him, and that the only real thing left of him is his heart, Eraqus is going to come back in some ghost-like form to give a vital piece of wisdom to sora and/or riku

I see it as Sora will have most, if not all, of the game play. The only person I can see us playing as is Riku. Maybe a mash-up of BBS and 3D where you can choose who to play as, but this time you need to make it up to a certain point in Sora's story before you start Riku's episode, and back and forth and so on. But as of right now i see us mainly playing as Sora same as 1 and 2

I did a silly test comparing how fast you can get through certain checkpoints in the 2nd district of traverse town in KH1 and then the 3D demo (basically a race). Considering that the flowmotion alone beat superglide, high jump, and sora's climbing together by over double the speed (3D's 16 seconds as opposed to number 1's 40 seconds), I'd say flowmotion is one of the best things in the series yet haha

Anything goofy, donald, or sora said after each and every fricken round in the coliseum

Favorite - used to be Xemnas, but Marluxia's remake in Re:CoM made him my number 1 Least Favorite - Luxord. for someone who's attribute is time, he uses it in the least efficient way possible

Magic works wonders, but if you feel like messing around, take the tedious effort to physically push all of the pieces into a single file. Then go to the top of the line and it should take 1 or 2 hits (given you've taken off every combo plus, added negative combo, and have Fenrir attached)

A few years back I thought, "What if we were to put Sora with all his abilities into grand theft auto and left him run around and the beat the hell out of everyone?" It had been a constant dream of mine for years, but after recently watching Sora and Riku perform their flowmotion techniques, I came to want this ten times more. Who else agrees? And maybe there's some other worlds from other games where these two would fit in as well. P.S. for a stupid little side note, i always thought it would be amazing it Kratos and Sora switched games too

it probably will go by time zone, so east coast will most likely be first, but i've never gotten a game on release date so i'm not sure entirely. and as for being sold out, just to be safe i would preorder, but if you live in a small town like me, there won't be a big blowout of sales at midnight

Supposed to get married July 7th in disney world... really want to bump that to the 31st just to show i'm devoted hahaha

real name, Xach (zach). but i prefer my screename, Arlux

Up until 3D, the explanation for golden/orange eyes and pointy ears was due to long exposures to darkness, but now it is in relation to Xehanort and his followers. What i think is the old explanation of exposure is true for Ansem the wise because he was created before the story developed this far. It was probably a lack of foresight into the future by the creators before they thought of the 13 darknesses idea

In the majority of the threads I have read, everyone is merely speculating about characters already introduced to us as being the seven lights and only keyblade wielders in number 3. Although I too believe it will most likely turn out with Sora, Riku, Mickey, and the obvious others as being the only ones in the next game, i can't help but feel that there is room for others, possibly surprise chosen ones who we'd never been introduced to. "Few Keyblade wielders remain now; I have heard of but a handful of others outside my circle. But the World is vast, and more of our kind may be out there." (Xehanort's Report V) This leads me to believe that there are other masters out there with students of there own who could all very well be introduced to in the future. Again, I doubt that Nomura will throw this kind of curve ball at us, but hey, he did just include time travel recently soooo... Thoughts?

i believe that the listed above will be the lights (obviously) but this does, atleast to me, create a hole in the story. If the translations are correct, then Yen Sid states that the seven lights meant to protect the seven princesses were created AFTER the destruction of the x-blade. Everyone was around (and most wielded a keyblade already) before the destruction of the blade. If this were to be followed through, then that would mean there would be seven different people, but we all know this is highly doubtful. Just gets me thinking

Just because Kairi has a keyblade doesn't mean she's going to be whipping out sweet ass attacks or anything. Remember Sora's basic 1-2-3 combo at the beginning of number one? She could easily be doing that. It wouldn't be as climatic as the rest of the fighters in the game, but it's more likely than her just gaining these abilities out of nowhere

Prior to Birth By Sleep - Xehanort is roughly Sora/ Riku's age. With guidance from his heartless self who has traveled back in time, has him journey out on an adventure involving the keyblade. to make kingdom hearts and the x-blade, takes Ven under apprenticeship. splits Ven's heart into two, the dark half becoming Vanitas. Birth By Sleep - Aqua and Terra take the mark of mastery, having Ven on the sidelines, now being an apprentice of Eraqus. Aqua passes the test. Terra goes on an adventure of redemption to find the now missing old Master Xehanort. Ven goes after him, and Aqua is sent to babysit the two surreptitiously. Vanitas is revealed to be the source of the unversed which have been plaguing the worlds, and was trying to make Ven stronger, because when a heart of pure darkness and a heart of pure light collide, the form the x-blade. They succeed in creating it, but after being defeated by Aqua, it is destroyed along with Ven's heart, which combined with Sora's, granting him the power of the keyblade. Xehanort uses his keyblade to release his own heart and merge with Terra's body, creating a younger version of himself. After the x-blade is destroyed, Terra/Xehanort is teleported to radiant garden. After Aqua takes Ven's comatose body to their home and transforms it into castle oblivion to sheild his body from the outside world, she fights Xehanort. To stop him from sinking Terra's body into darkness, she sacrifices herself to save him and is trapped in the realm of darkness. Xehanort remembers nothing but his name and is sheltered by Ansem the wise. BBS-Kingdom Hearts 1- Xehanort has become the top among Ansem's apprentices. They studied the heart and discovered the heartless and the properties of nobodies, all in the pursuit to find future bodies for Xehanort (as implied by the english subbed 3D video). Xehanort steals ansem's name and soon after casts his body aside and becomes Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (heartless) and Xemans (nobody). Kingdom Hearts 1 - Sora is visited by the heart of Xehanort in the secret cave right before it is swallowed by the darkness. Heartless arrive on the island. Riku allows the darkness to take him and Sora receives his keyblade. Kairi's heart gets trapped in Sora's. Sora goes on a journey to find his friends with the help of donald and goofy who are looking for mickey. Riku succumbs to darkness, allowing himself to be a vessel for Ansem, SoD, who wants to use the seven princesses of pure light to open the door to kingdom hearts. With kairi being one of them, sora releases his heart along with Kairi's, turning himself into a heartless and giving birth to Roxas and Namine. Kairi restores Sora to his human self. Xehanort opens the door to kingdom hearts, but the light inside destroys him. With the help of mickey and Riku, Sora shuts the door. Kairi is sent back to destiny islands and Sora and the gang go on an adventure to find mickey and Riku who were last in the realm of darkness. Chain of Memories- In castle oblivion, Sora is introduced to the organization. The lord of the castle wants to manipulate Sora's memories using Namine so he can use the keyblade to over throw the organization. Despite the tampering, sora defeats him and chooses to be put in a pod where Namine can restore his memories. Meanwhile, Rikue awakens in the castle floor. The lingering fragments of Ansem in his heart tempt him with darkness, but Riku overcomes this and with the guidance of Mickey and the real Ansem, now disguised as DiZ, and now aware of Sora's slumber, chooses to embrace his darkness and do whatever he can to help Sora. 358/2 Days- Roxas joins the organization. The leader of the organization, Xemnas, is only using him for his keyblade because when it kills artificially made heartless, it releases it hearts and starts to create a new kingdom hearts. Xion is a clone of Sora, created by his leaked memories and inducted into the organization because of her ability to wield the keyblade as well. Because of their simutaneous existance, Sora's restoration is brought to a stop, so Riku sets out to bring Roxas to fuse back with Sora. Xion learns of her origins and fights with Roxas so he can beat her and absorb her. Riku then fights Roxas, releases all the darkness inside of him and takes on SoD's form. Roxas is then brought back to a virtual twilight town so he can be monitored until Sora is ready to be awakened. Kingdom Hearts 2 - Roxas fuses back with Sora (unbeknownst to him) and then awakens. Under Yen Sids instructions, he is told to defeat the nobodies known as Organization 13. In the meantime, DiZ is out on a quest of revenge against the organization himself and uses Riku to help. Kairi is kidnapped to fuel Sora's rage and eventually beckon him to The World that Never Was, the organizations stronghold. After defeating many members (and the rest back in CoM), he makes his way to their castle. At the top, after defeating Xigbar (who cryptically refrences Aqua, Terra, and/or Ven), Sora reunited with Kairi and Riku. After defeating Saix, the last member before Xemnas, a machine DiZ has built explodes, transporting him to the realm of darkness where he eventually meets Aqua, and transforms Riku back to normal who is now revealed to have a keyblade of his own. Together, Sora and Riku defeat Xemnas and return to their home on the islands. Coded- After finding a message in his journal that he hasn't written, Jimminy informs mickey, who has since returned home after the defeat of Xemnas, of the strangeness of the message. Mickey creates a digital version of the Journal and creates a digital version of Sora to explore the journal and find the source of the message. It is revealed to be from Namine during the time she restored Sora's memories. It was to let the real Sora know that Roxas, Xion, Axel, Aqua, Terra, and Ven are all in some kind of suffering and need his help to save them. Shortly afterwards, Mickey is talking to Yen Sid who believes that because of the destruction of Ansem and Xemans, the real master Xehanort would return along with different form of himsel, such as the young master Xehanort. To prepare for this, Yen Sid requests the presence of Sora and Riku to take the Mark of Mastery exam. Mickey writes a letter to Sora informing him of the people who need his help along with the request from Yen Sid. I know it was long but i hope this helps. It may lack in some detail, but I couldn't write a novel haha

it's easier, yes, but not improbable. merely speculation of course

Terra is just as likely as the rest. Not as a light warrior, but like riku, embraces his darkness. If xehanort can multiply his heart, it is very easy to say that terra can be released somehow.
