actually Sora has Ven's, Roxas' and Xion's heart inside him. Personally I think only Ventus will come back in KH3 so there are still other two hearts to do the dual wielding trick. However even if all these 3 people come back and Sora only stays with just his own heart I believe Nomura can come up with something to allow dual wielding keyblades, for example I once invented a theory in a topic about how Sora could use two keyblades by connecting his heart with the heart of his friends (like Riku) thus borrowing from them the power to summon a second keyblade, interestingly I named this mechanics H-Link (Heart-Link) http://kh13.com/forum/topic/99837-an-idea-to-replace-drive-forms-in-kh3/ yeah DF made Sora OP in KH2 also I noticed too the connection between the color and themes of the old DF and the trailers KT, in fact I'm curious to see if future KT will still be related to DF. However just as DF were too strong but weren't necessary to beat the game I hope KH3 gameplay does not make you rely on OP KT to beat bosses, I think that timing and basic keyblade combos is what made KH2 gameplay epic but I fear this two elements could be shadowed in KH3 by the fact you only need few seconds to unlock a KT, basically I fear KH3 could be just a KT spam

Hello Everyone Before I start I want to say that the D23 trailer was Awesome and I like how Sora can now transform his keyblade BUT I also think we are missing something from the past (Drive Forms) In KH2 gameplay we had Reaction Commands, Limits and Drive Forms. Now in KH3 we already know there are no Reaction Commands, as for Limits they have not been shown yet but I think we can assume they're likely going to be in the game, about Drive Forms(DF) Nomura told us they are going to be in KH3 but actually both Guard Form and Power Form turned out to be simple Keyblade Transformation(KT) and this is the reason I decided to make this topic: are Keyblade Transformations going to REPLACE Drive Forms? if the answer is Yes (and I'm afraid it is) I'm not seeing KH3 gameplay as an improvement (in comparison to KH2) Going into more specific detail we can say that KT (as shown in the trailer) don't give the player the same freedom as DF, in KH2 we had the Drive option in the command menu, from that we could decide to use a DF from a list at any time we wanted, as for KT there are 2 per Keyblade and you unlock them by filling an meter by attacking enemies in a short time, if you fill this meter a second time you unlock the 2nd level of a KT (for example Hyper Hammer "evolves" into Drill Punch). Basically KT are an option you need to achieve and not something you can rely on at any moment and this is why I can't see KT as the successor of DF. Also, it appears, you can only use the two KT your Keyblade has (example: no Hyper Hammer if you use Kingdom Key) and you can't have direct access to the 2nd level of a KT immediately, I believe this limitations could be felt during a boss fight Now I'm going to say a personal opinion (but I'm sure I'm not alone) about why KT shouldn't replace DF: Swords are the most iconic and best weapons in videogames and KH is mainly a sword(key-sword actually) game and that's how it should remain, now what's better than a sword? TWO SWORDS! that's why I think we all love DF. Now I'm not saying KT are bad but personally I think using a bazooka or a giant hammer simply isn't as epic as comboing an enemy with Valor or Final Form (best DF imo). Also I hope in KH3 using the Keyblade as a sword won't be a tiny 10 sec interval between KT that said Nomura told us the gameplay is still in development so I really hope he decides to add Drive Forms eventually (after all Focus Gauge being used only for Shotlock is quite lame). So let me know what you think , do you feel Keyblade Transformation are the righteous successor of Drive Forms? or do you want dual wielding Drive Forms in KH3 too? also sorry for possible bad english

let's hope this, otherwise let's hope for KH3 to answer all of our questions

Hello Everyone I decided to make this topic since I remember some months ago there was a rumor about KH2.8 having DLC here's what I think:

Actually Kingdom Key D is not what has always been behind DY door, we already know that normally behind a world's door there's the world's heart (and by analogy with people's hearts this heart should be a very big sphere of light) Also Kingdom Key D is the keyblade of the dark realm and has always been located in the RoD, if DY never plunged into darkness it would have still been in the RoD I believe what Mickey meant in 0.2 is that since the Kingdom Key has appeared in DY (don't know how he knows this...) it makes sense if the Kingdom Key D is there too, from the moment DY plunged in the RoD, basically Kingdom Key D positioned itself in the same place his light counterpart appeared

Honestly I don't think we'll ever see an original KH character that comes from a Disney world (and this is good imo), those 4 guys more probably come from Radiant Garden, Twilight Town or a brand new original KH world we'll see in KH3

Honestly I don't get why people hate Bbs (and DDD) story. It was meant to tell us the events that lead to Sora's adventure and it did this good, I really liked the characters and their stories, I don't care if the villains managed to manipulate them. In my opinion BbS is the most exciting and emotional KH, why? because of plot-twists and Aqua'story

Guys, 0.2 can be viewed as a flashback told by Mickey in mysterious tower after DDD so I think that it is possible that after Mickey finishes to tell his adventure Yen Sid sends Sora and Riku to rescue Aqua

Hello everyone, so just as the title says, do you think Aqua will be saved at the end of 0.2? I think it is quite possible since we have already seen Yen Sid telling Riku and Kairi that they must rescue TAV trio, so I believe that in the ending of 0.2 we'll see the sequel of blank points with Sora and Riku opening someway a door to the light so that Aqua and Ansem can escape the realm of darkness What's your opinion?

I believe 0.2 will have a secret ending (that you have to unlock someway) regarding the beginning of KH3. If they're going to put a spoiler secret ending like KH2FM I'll hate it

I love swords so I had to choose it in the first playtroughs of KH and I don't really like magic and I consider using it cheating so I gave up the staff

I think I'm going to watch Back Cover first, since it's a spin off, and then play 0.2, which is a sequel to the original story of KH, and DDD at the end since I already know the story. However if it happens (and I hope it'll happen) that Nomura says there's a "best order" to play the game I'm going to follow his instructions to decide what to see first between 0.2 and Back Cover

Yeah I know, but then what is Ava referring to in that scene? also she seems quite angry

It doesn't have a different color scheme Dream Eaters so don't think we can call it a FM version of DDD, it's just an HD remix but I hope that it's gonna have secret bosses and another secret ending that would be amazing!

Hi Guys, So there's this quote from the last AMAZING trailer of KH2.8 that makes me firmly thinking that Invi is the Traitor We are in Daybreak Town and we see Ava speaking with Invi and Ava says (with a bit of anger): "didn't you think for a second that your actions could be making things worse than they already are?" for me this quote makes it clear that Invi is the Traitor but she isn't a bad person, I believe she became a Traitor to try avoiding the Keyblade War however in the end her actions only contributed to make it happen and that's why Ava said this sentence when she discovered the truth, she knows Invi acted with good intentions. To support this there's also a theory of mine which focuses on the animal symbolism, here's the thoery: All the games speaking about the event regarding the Keyblade War contain, in their title, the infamous greek letter X (CHI), you might think this is just a reference to the X-blade but maybe there's more. It happens that this three letters (CHI) also are the first letters of the name Chimera, which is a monster in the greek mythology that is basically the "fusion" of a lion a goat and a snake and we all know that the first two animals refer to the MoM and Luxu while the snake refers to Invi and all of this might mean that these three people are allied someway, thus making Invi the Traitor. So is Invi really the traitor or is it just me going too far from a single quote? What are your thoughts guys?

I believe they simply lived their life as Keyblade Weilders and died because of old age like any other person.I don't know if they trained other Keyblade Wielders or not, we only know that during Xehanort and Eraqus training, that happened many years after KHX, there were few Keyblade Wielders (this is stated by Xehanort in his diary)

85% because story 10% because gameplay 5% because music

I'm so confused, it seems like Ventus is somehow connected to Skuld and Ephemer but is it even possible?? If Ventus really is a dandelion then why does he reappear in BbS? so many questions...

Yeah I agree, dual wielding MUST be a thing in KH3 with or without drive forms

okay now I get it thanks after all sadness and pain can lead to darkness, Ava also says it in KHX

like I said in KH3 Sora will not have Ventus' heart inside him so he won't be able to summon a second Keyblade usign drive forms it might be, but how did Xehanort manage to draw out Sora's darkness?

Yeah I know Lea managed to ruin Xehanort's plan, I was actually referring to that scene after the Xemnas fight, I think the darkness that pours out from Sora is not just his own but also some darkness summoned by Xehanort to put Sora asleep

Hi guys, I've been thinking about this idea for a while and I'd like to know what you think about it So basically this alternative to drive forms is called Heart-Link (H-Link for short) and allows Sora to dual wield. Now you're probably thinking: that's not possible, in KH3 Sora's going to give Ventus his heart back thus loosing the ability to use a second Keyblade. Yes that's true and this is actually why I chose with the name Heart-Link, in fact we all know Sora is a special guy who "touches so many hearts" and is capable of creating strong connections with other people and this special "ability" of his is what is actually behind Heart-Links When Sora uses an H-Link he connects his heart with the hearts of his friends (Riku for example) and borrows some of the friends' power so he becomes stronger and temporary gains the ability of using a second Keyblade. Okay this was just the theory behind it now let's see what the H-Links really are (just to let you know I imagined them in parallel with drive forms and since I'm lazy I'll use for them the same name of drive forms), let's start: Valor Link: Sora connects his heart with Ventus', the main colors of Sora's clothes now are grey and yellow, this Link focuses on speed and Keyblade attacks, while using it Sora wields the second Keyblade with the reverse grip like Ventus Wisdom Link: Sora connects his heart with Kairi's, the main colors of Sora's clothes now are red and white, this Link is basically a dual wielding version of the wisdom form from KH2, so magic is boosted but now with two Keyblades Sora can fire many more light projectiles Limit Link: using this particular Link Sora's clothes change color so they look like his old KH2 outfit and he only uses one Keyblade, Sora fights using a more powerful version of the KH2 combos and he can also use the 4 limits from KH1 Master Link: Sora connects his heart with Riku's, the main colors of Sora's clothes now are blue and grey, this Link both focuses on magic and keyblade power, Sora's fight style becomes a combination of his own and Riku's Final Link: the strongest Link, Sora connects his heart with all the other 6 Guardians of Light (whoever they will be), the main colors of Sora's clothes now are gold and white, using this Link he wields two Keyblades and both of them are sorrounded by a light shaped like a sword (like Blade Charge but shorter) and he also has 5 more blades of light floating around him (like Wingblade) and now the last but not the least the Anti Link: this Link triggers randomly when you use H-Links, the idea behind it is that Sora was overwhelmed by his own darkness in DDD and because of this sometimes the darkness in his heart takes temporary control over him when using the H-Link, under the effects of Anti Link Sora's clothes becomes black and his head is covered by the hood (so that his outfit looks like Xehanort's black coat), instead of the Keyblade the Anti Link weapon is a black darkness sword that Sora uses to perform fast but low damaging slashes. Obviously Anti Link doesn't disappear until the H-Link gauge is empty That's it guys this is my idea to replace drive forms in KH3, let me know if you like it and if you'd like something like this to be in KH3

ok guys it is just the Guardian's head, but why does it appear twice on the chessboard? O.o

with the curreny information we have what you're saying is not possible: dying and becoming a heartless are two completely different things in KH Keyblade wielders from KHX died in the Keyblade War and even if I'm not sure about where their hearts went (probably in the true Kingdom Hearts), I'm sure they didn't become heartless because their hearts weren't swallowed by the darkness
