I'd love it if they somehow brought Balthier and Fran in, they'll work so well off Sora's personality.

But forget the final fantasy characters, which PIXAR world do you want to see? It's just about the right time for them to make an appearance, what with this new generation of tech to do the Pixar CG justice.

Incredibles would be a perfect fit and Toy Story would be the safe bet, but personally, I'd be squealing like a little girl if they somehow manage to smash in WAll-E.

I'd be completely surprised and disappointed if Wreck-it-Ralph wasn't in.

Famitsu stuff, credits to duckroll for the translation:

- They're calling the shading technique in KH3 the "Kingdom Shader" and the shaders they use will change with each world to create more authentic visual experiences based on the Disney source material. (This was already mentioned in the S-E Radio interview on their Youtube channel earlier.)

- Famitsu asked if KH3 would be developed on Luminous Studio, like FFXV is. I don't think there has been any confirmation that FFXV is actually developed entirely on the Luminous Studio engine so far, but the fact that Nomura seems to answer the question normally suggests that it is, or that the answer applies to both FFXV and KH3. You decide!

- They're currently looking into using Luminous Studio as the main engine. By developing on an Overspec (PC environment I presume), it makes porting the same content to both PS4 and Xbox One easier. The battle footage in the trailer is a movie, because the tools they're using have difficulty outputting stuff on the actual systems right now, but he promises that runs in realtime in the dev environment and it should look the same eventually.

- The two biggest new things in KH3 which he talks about are "crazy scale action" and way better enemy AI. He confirms that there will be a 3 character party in the game, but NPCs and allies in each world will also join in battles, and there will be crazy epic aerial action blahblahbalh sound like KH. :P He also talks about enemy AI being more complex and being able to interact with the player, like Sora riding on a vehicle type enemy and so on.

- They are also considering online features for KH3, as well as other features which have not been in KH before. (Nomura is a very considerate person. He seems open to considering anything. :P)

- Nomura thinks that it would be great if they can time the release of more information on KH3 at the D23 Expo Japan in October along with TGS. KH3 is seen as a rival production for FFXV. Get hype, etc.

Sorry but I can't see what's so great about her, to me she's a generic female lead, she tries too hard to be like cloud, the whole doesn't take BS from anyone to me looked more like a ''I'm better than you because i'm always mad'' attitude, she may be hot but that's not enough to make me like her. Never touching a game in the XIII series for as long as I live the almost 10 hour tutorial was boring as hell in my opinion. I'd rather Noctis and the FF XV cast be in the game than the ones from the worst entry to date.

Toy story, Brave, and the Incredibles are all my top picks. I loved Wall-E, but i'm not too sure about how they would make it work

picking out new disney worlds is a bit tougher... Wreck it Ralph seems like a sure thing though. Tangled was popular enough, and though Princess and the frog wasn't all that popular they could thing of some interesting things to do with the heartless and the "friends from the other side". Though going older than that it gets tricky since the best movies have already been done. For instance, Atlantis, Treasure planet, and Robin hood might all make for great game worlds, but they weren't really the most popular films... Granted they could also put a new spin on old worlds. We could have Lilo and Stitch taking place in hawaii this time

Sounds like better flowmotion system? Also better enemy AI? I just can't wait for more gameplay news now

I'm sensing large scale battle here like that vs 1000 heartless fight in KH2 but now there will be large scale allies joining the fight too.

Why do they have to be with Sora?

They live in Radiant Garden. They are citizens. Remember that Traverse Town was just a makeshift world where people from different worlds took refuge because their homeworld was either destroyed or being attacked by Heartless. The Final Fantasy characters were only in Traverse Town because they were driven out by the Heartless.

What I find strange is the fact that they were driven out by Xehanort, but they didn't even catch his voice or appearance being different from Ansem the Wise? I don't buy it. How did they figure Ansem was the culprit then?

You are talking about a different extreme.

If the foreshadowing is obvious, then it's not very good foreshadowing. That's a different issue. Hints by definition are supposed to be subtle.

My problem is that the series

And those were all questions introduced by 3D, which means before that game, I thought most of it fit together quite nicely, considering Nomura didn't have it all planned out from the start.
That's my problem with the story - why didn't Nomura have it all planned out from the start?

Unlike Zelda or Final Fantasy, this series is meant to be a single, albeit long, coherent story... yet certain details (or lack thereof) and changes make it obvious that Nomura didn't plan far enough ahead.

For example, the secret trailer of the vanilla KH2 had the armored trio picking up Sora, Riku, and Mickey's keyblades: the Kingdom Key, Reverse Kingdom Key, and Way to the Dawn.

In the secret trailer for KH2: Final Mix+ and Birth By Sleep, they get their own Keyblades and Sora, Riku, and Mickey's Keyblades are nowhere to be found. The lack of prior planning makes the certain reveals in every new installment seem like an asspull.

I don't see anything generic about Lightning at all. You wont find any other female lead that's even half alike as Lightning. She's her own character just like all other past Final Fantasy characters. Lightning also isn't always mad and when she IS mad she's very much justified in her anger. Such as Snow popping the question to Serah after her current situation in XIII-1.

You don't even know anything about Noctis. For all we know he could be a pretty bad character or someone completely different than what's in our heads.

All this comes down to is, why are you assuming Leon and the others necessarily saw Xehanort after he started posing as Ansem? I don't remember them ever indicating that. And they weren't driven out by him personally. He didn't come knocking on their doors and tell them to leave. The world was destroyed by darkness, that's why they left, and probably in a hurry.

That's why I said "with Sora." Cause those times I mentioned would have been the only opportunities we know of for them to see Xehanort after he started posing as Ansem, albeit 10 years later, and to say, "What? That's not Ansem."

Cause...he's not a wizard? The plan was never for this many games in the beginning, so how could he write the full story for games he would be writing ten years later?

Oh, come on now. Everyone has early concept ideas and trailers that aren't necessarily in the final product. There's nothing wrong with that. And that particular scene didn't lead to any asspulls I'm aware of.

He could have kept the stories more self contained. For instance, the nobodies could have just been off doing their own thing; They didn't have to be part of Xehanort's ultimate scheme. Heck the story of the first game aswell could have just been its own plot; one that might have been caused by events before. I mean the first two games worked just fine as self-contained stories... the first game was about some heartless named ansem that wanted to open up kingdom hearts using the princesses of heart... Kingdom hearts 2 was about the after effects of all the damage that ansem did. Things don't get messy until Birth by sleep and Dream Drop Distance since that's where Nomura tried to tie the plots of those games as to being part of a larger single scheme. Instead of there being a larger scheme, master xehanort could have simply failed in his plans during the events of Birth by Sleep; instead of trying to tie all the games into a single narrative, birth by sleep could have simply just been another story that would take place in the universe of kingdom hearts... Or alternatively, instead of master Xehanort, the game maybe could have focused more directly on what turned "Ansem" into heartless, instead of the events that led UP to the event; afterall seeing the origins of the nobodies was one of the big draws of birth by sleep. Instead of Xehanort being some dark jedi, he could have just been a mad scientist working under ansem the wise who was investigating kingdom hearts and searching for ways to open it.


Though one of the big problems that nomura created for himself was the fact that he wanted to tells us about events that came before the first 2 games, but where also directly tied to the first two games without having these events in mind... If he had worked foward and just kept making sequels instead of prequels he could have had an easier time making shit up as he went since he could more easily find ways for things to fit. However even if he thought Kingdom hearts was gonna be the only game it would have been wise for him to know the history behind the world he was creating. A great writer knows the major historical points of their own world even if they are not gonna get a chance to tell most of that history; after all a world's history has effects on the present. Had Nomrua taken the time to detail the history of kingdom hearts in his head, he would not have ran into these troubles when making a prequel


Really, there is a lot of different way these things could have been played out. Not to mention that by kingdom hearts 2 it was clear the franchise was becoming popular enough that you COULD make long range plans, instead of just making it up as you go. Really the story of kingdom hearts has become something of a convoluted mess; it has actually become difficult for even fans to wrap their minds around the story because of all the nonsensical twists and turns it makes

If Lightning appears in the game at least she would be written by Nojima rather than Toriyama. I found her characterization in Dissidia 012 (by Watanabe though) more likable than her roles in FF13 where she often punched others and pretty much supported Hope's revenge.

Another character that could make it is Rinoa from FF8. She was already hinted in the credits of Kingdom Hearts II when Leon was checking a letter with her symbol.

That would really exploit his character considering he is not even real in Kingdom Hearts. I would expect Caius to take his place.

Then why assume Ansem is the culprit instead of some unknown invader? Everyone took it as fact until Mickey told them otherwise.

You don't have to be a wizard to have a conclusion in mind at the beginning for a series with multiple installments. .hack is one example.

If a writer has to make more games than intended to milk the success of the franchise, then make new installments that are only loosely connected so that complications don't arise. As it is now, we have... what, at least three games that are still trying to explain events that happened in KH2?

Past KH2, the story simply is not very presentable for a newcomer to follow. If someone were to ask who Roxas is, I would have to explain that he's a Nobody of this one guy, but actually has the heart of this other guy who had to fight his dark side. It would sound completely silly.

The trailer in the vanilla version didn't reveal much to begin with. I did have some expectation that the game would be set in the distant past or future from Sora's story however, but that's another story.

Birth By Sleep in general however introduced some strange plot elements, namely the Chi-blade being needed to access Kingdom Hearts despite the fact that Terranort the Heartless and Xemnas seemed to come very close without a single mention of such a special Keyblade. There's also Sora's newborn heart somehow being intelligent enough to patch up Ven's heart when it was torn apart.
That seemed like a lazy way to make precedence for Xehanort somehow being able to share his heart with twelve other people, including his past selves in 3D.
