So, I've been playing FFVI lately, great game. And one of it's plot elements gives me an idea bout what should happen in KH3. I guess you could say this is a spoiler for FFVI, but I think a lot of people probably already know about it anyway. So if you know nothing about FFVI and want to play it, well I guess don't read this, haha. My idea for KH3 comes from the point where Kefka changes the World of Balance into the World of Ruin. Imagine something like that happening in KH3! Like, around halfway through the game, Xehanort succeeds in obtaining Kingdom Hearts, but he also does something that plunges all the worlds into the Realm of Darkness. And after that, every world you visit, Disney or not, is heavily damaged, its residents are scattered and confused, and the heartless run rampant everywhere. Think of all the ways this would be effective! It would be the first time Xehanort's actions would have universal consequences. Like he's caused the destruction of a few worlds in the past, but this time it would effect EVERY world. Perhaps this could even lead to a point where he regrets his actions and we could see some emotional conflict in him. But maybe just not before Sora and co. tear him a new one. It would work for the storylines of each individual worlds. Like in many KH games, it feels like the main characters just go to the Disney worlds, learn a lesson of friendship or some crap that has little to do with the actual story, and then go on with their business. It would work here as each world Sora visits would need his help to undo the damage and regain control. It would be so much more than just "oh hi..... okay see ya later". And once he finishes this, there can be one huge final confrontation with Xehanort. Gameplay wise, it would work as it would explain the game getting more difficult as you went on. I want a challenge in KH3, and this is a perfect opportunity for them to make the gameplay challenging in a way that works with the story. So do you guys think this would work? I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

Well, E3 hasn't really started yet. I think if they were going to reveal online multiplayer at all at this point, they would do it over the course of the actual E3.

Compressed footage for the original or the Remaster?

Honestly, I never thought Riku sounded that different in KH1 then he did in any of the newer games.

1. The voice acting. They used two scenes that were previously silent in FM! Which means they went farther than they did in 1.5, by recording new dialogue! So now we won't have any scenes that are just awkward voiceless scenes like in 1.5. 2. The KH3 voice acting. The fact that we have dialogue from KH3 (one of them being the VA of Young Xehanort) tells me that they've at least started recording the dialogue, and that they're getting somewhere with the game. That's promising. And even if they don't show KH3 at E3, Square has been heavily hinting that they will show it soon. Maybe TGS? Because they've dropped way too many hints to just leave us with nothing. 3. Fight Scenes in Re:Coded. Yeah, nobody cares about Re:Coded. But did you see that scene where Sora was fighting Riku? They actually decided to put fight scenes in this one! Sure, I know they already confirmed that, but it's good to see a bit of it! What did you guys like from the trailer?

Oh, it was? I wasn't aware of that. Well, the more you know! So you're probably right- they probably just haven't recorded it yet.

Stop being so optimistic, man. The biggest chance we have of seeing those trailers is 0.648%. 0.649% is waaay too high.

Okay Katniss

Hm, doesn't sound like they re orchestrated any of the KH2 music... Unless they're just holding off on letting us hear it until the game actually comes out. Either way, looks awesome!

COME BACK, NOT ALL OF US ARE LIKE THIS ;~;

No matter what my opinion on this is, it tells me one thing for sure: They have started to record JP dialogue for KH3. Which tells me that they are at least getting somewhere with it.

10/10 would applaud your life choices

10000/10 would sell all my kingdom hearts games so that i could buy it

Aw yeah. I love Bioshock

I think we should write the titles as Kingdom Hearts. I mean, it's not like it brings too much emphasis to the name Kingdom Hearts, and everytime I see someone type it that way, I feel like I'm just looking at a natural typing of the word Kingdom Hearts.

I always had Lightning, Fang, and Hope. I can't remember the exact paradigms I used, but I almost always had Hope on ravager or medic, Fang usually on Commando, and Lightning on Commando or Ravager.

Wow, cool site! I hope they never get bought out by some big cash hungry company like google!

Sometimes I feel like there should be a whole separate forum section for the "Star Wars in KH" threads.
