Welp, this feeling came up while I was finishing up the PlayStation version of Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory: I want to see Kairi have something worthwhile, like her own game or novel. As an individual, Kairi has had the least amount of screen time to show us who she is. All we got was her past as a little girl in Radiant Garden and with Sora. It’s like she is the third wheel when it comes to Sora and Riku’s bond and their adventures, which stinks for her. With Kingdom Hearts IV as the start of a new story arc, I would like Kairi to have her adventures that EXCLUDES Sora, by a lot. Let Kairi be a person without a man! Also, let Kairi be a person without falling into Disney tropes and clichés like the Disney princesses. Kairi deserves better! Am I done with the demands? Yes. I can say I want a Kairi story as much as I want. But I’m not sure how possible it will be with Square Enix’s current productions. It may take a long time for Kairi to have her own standalone if Square sees potential in telling a story with her front and center. Instead, I might end up sticking to fanfiction. It’s been a long time since I read any fanfiction, so I don’t know any recent takes on Kairi aside from my own piece, “Of Light and Darkness – Chaos.” I only have one problem with that, though: it’s more of a Jack Garland introduction to me than a Kairi piece. The only other idea I have for a Kairi fanfiction comes from the latter half of 2022. The few key points about it were that Kairi would get separated from Aqua on an investigation mission, there would be a lot of original characters, and it would have a different direction from Kingdom Heart IV’s Quadratum and the concept of reality. Kairi’s adventures could function parallel to what was described for Sora’s in Kingdom Hearts IV (and how Roxas explored worlds in 358/2 Days). Kairi would visit a world for a while and return to the hub world and go about her daily life before going back to the field. If it were possible, I would also include costumes for Kairi to wear. Some of them are outfits from the previous titles (Kingdom Hearts I and II) for nostalgia. Other outfits are new costumes to reflect Kairi’s life and events. And finally, there could be outfits that are like Sora’s formchanges, each outfit reflecting a bond from the Guardians of Light (sans Sora and his counterparts). Throughout the story, there could be flashbacks that show Kairi’s life in both Radiant Garden and Destiny Islands. Who are Kairi’s parents and what were they like? How was Kairi as an Islander and as a student? How did she, Sora, and Riku develop their friendships? Currently, in my idea space, I don’t have many original characters for a possible fanfiction. Honestly, I don’t have a full scenario for how Kairi’s story could play out. What I do have is two major original characters: a queen/empress who stands out differently from Kairi, and a former Dark Keyblade Master who protects her for the genuinely good. One of the key ideas is that the worlds surrounding the hub world are aware of each other and go against the known world order. So, there is an issue for Aqua and a moral conflict for Kairi. The core idea, though, is how Kairi handles being on her own without anyone she knows to guide her. Who is she without the Guardians of Light, the Keyblade, or Sora? That’s the story premise I would want to be explored in a Kingdom Hearts title about Kairi. What do you guys think about this? Let me know in the comment section. Until then, thank you for reading this post.

Okay, everyone! I think I should create a Kingdom Hearts fan game called Kingdom Hearts: Days Between (set between Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory and Kingdom Hearts IV). If you could have one world in the game what will it be? Halloween Bastion is my idea of a world. It was a Halloween version of Radiant Garden as the result of Jack Skelington visiting ever since King Deoxys' birth.

We have seen many interview questions about the story of Kingdom Hearts III recently with sources from Dengiki and the game’s Ultimania. However, I feel that some of those questions aren’t fully satisfying, partly because of the interviews weren’t fully going into the development choices of the game (as in asking about the Lingering Will or stuff related to Union Cross) and they may have received dodgy answers (the whereabouts of Demyx for example). As someone who has followed and played the game, I’d like to present some of my own interview questions that I would like answered by the developers in a clear way (that means actually talking about the details and not just dodging it). For this list, I want to present possibly good questions about the storyline, character, and development choices which affected the game’s story. A quick warning though, there will be points where I may end up having to go on a ranting phase. Sorry about that guys. Here we go:

Hey guys, how are you? I've had this wish of fighting almost every type of enemy in the game since ever, and now I decided to create this topic to know what you guys think about the current information we already have and to go on further and create theories for information we don't know. But more importantly to hear out your wishes too. From the trailers, we can guess the following (though it may be subject to change until the end product is finished): Twillight Town (Heartless and Nobodies) Mysterious Tower (Heartless) Olympus (Heartless) Monstropolis (Unversed (yay) and Heartless) Toy Box (Heartless) Kingdom of Corona (Heartless and supposedly Marluxia's nobody army) Arendelle (Heartless) The Caribbean (Heartless) If there is some enemy type you found on the trailers and that isn't listed, you can tell me and I'll update the list. I am very sure that Arendelle may too have a nobody army of Larxene, given she's there. So now, are you happy that we've got almost every type of enemy in KH3? I am insanely hyped, maybe because I am some kind of perfeccionist or whatever is the right word. It is said that all worlds will only have to be visited once. Yet, as they might be veery huge, it's possible that we may find Nobodies in all kind of worlds. But I believe that for the Unversed, it may depend of Vanitas' presence. After all he's on Monstropolis, the only world who has revealed it yet. Yet on KHBBS, Unversed were in all places. Vanitas surely just sent them there...However there may be no need of him to do so in KH3 since Heartless and Nobodies may be enough. If the worlds had a second visit, they would have to have stronger enemies and there'd be a chance that Vanitas would send his Unversed there. But that doesn't seem to be happening (unfortunately for me). Do you believe and do you wish we get all enemy types in every world? Having Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed together seems fun. I am just imaginating Shadows and Floods and Dusks together lol. For the last world, that will surely be a must

Nomura has already mentioned several times that KH3 will have a darker theme. But only now it has ocurred to me to make a pool to see what you guys think. I don't believe we'll see blood at all, given it has Disney characters and all. But I decided to give that option anyways. I may not have covered everything. I just had the idea to create this post now,

Okay I am working on a kingdom hearts comic series, I'm still planning out the overall story, but I'm at a point where I'm trying to decide on the worlds I'm going to use. There are supposed to 13 worlds in total. Not let me tell you, the worlds I want in this are not only worlds that haven't been used in any of the games, but also ones that surely won't be used in KHIII. And as you can tell it's a bit difficult, especially after hearing that there are going to be more worlds than any of the other games. So I'm going to put down the list I've already made. If you're okay with how it is then tell me and it'd make me more comfortable, but if you have any suggestions to help me out, please do so. 1. Nightfall City (Original) 2. DunBroch (Brave) 3. Devil’s Bayou (The Rescuers) 4. New Orleans (Princess and the Frog) 5. Game Central Station (Wreck it Ralph) 6. Metroville (Incredibles) 7. Spirit Wilderness (Brother Bear) 8. Monstrpolis (Monster's Inc.) 9. Xandar (Guadians of the Galaxy) 10. Yubaba's Bathhouese (Spirited Away) 11. Sherwood Forest (Robin Hood) 12. Wild Jungle (Jungle Book) 13. Prydain (Black Cauldron) Please help me, I'm so stuck. Edit: You know what, I'm thinking of using Spirited Away instead of Arrietty, but if none of those work out I was also thinking of using Kuzo's Empire from The Emperer's New Groove.

Ok I basically made this to ask about preferences on the stories for the worlds. I would like to know if people would rather the worlds follow the stories of their respective movies with no relevance to the plot similar to the later games or if they would want the worlds to have their own unique stories with slight references to scenes from the movies, and have the worlds actually have importance to the plot overall. I'm not sure if BH6 is going to be relevant to the plot, but I do know that it is going to have it's own story.

In KH1 I really enjoyed the Trinity marks and all the other little puzzles, and extra things like the shrinking potion in Wonderland that made me feel invested as part of the world by giving me multiple ways to get around, and it also required backtracking. I'm just wondering if anyone else would like to see a return of this.

I really like Donald, and Goofy, but they do sometimes ruin serious moments in the game. I'd like in a future game to have Sora travel with kairI, and Riku, and have all them be playable. I don't want it like birth by sleep, but more so where we can switch between who we are controlling more like a final fantasy game, and of course they would have different fighting styles and roles. kairi of course would take the role of the mage since that's the same role Aqua had. I'm not saying for all games in the future or in KH4, but just a future game, but I would rather it be on an actual console rather than the handhelds. I know in KH3 we will still be traveling with Donald, and Goofy, but my thought is after the Xehanort Saga is finished that they would return to the castle with King Mickey, and maybe even have a trio with mickey, donald, and goofy.
