I'm not sure why you wouldn't buy an Xbox One for a Kingdom Hearts game, the reanimated corpse of the Halo franchise, and to reward a multi-billion dollar corporation for not going through with their horrible policies.

Plus it's weaker than the PS4 and costs a $100 more! I mean, man, that's a loving steal if I ever saw one.

What shall we do with him? A permaban, perhaps? Probate him for a few years? Or...shall we employ a big red custom title? You, the goons of SA, shall decide his fate.
Since Disney bought a certain company, it's been possible for years for a certain movie to appear in a KH game. I would love it if they included it as a world late in the game and never, ever mention it to the press. The first players to reach it would watch Sora and his friends lose consciousness upon approaching an Earth-like world. Fade to black. Then, the beginning of this song plays and Pants. Are. Shat.

Donald and Goofy need to look like vintage Disney toys.

Eeeeh, Mickey's a good guy, and he wields a keyblade of darkness, which makes sense to me because of that whole thing they've been trying (and what with the Heartless and Nobodies and anybody besides Riku who uses the power of darkness, failing) to do where light and darkness are balanced for each other and neither is evil.

This is the moment I realize I am getting too much sucked back into KH when I start to care about the plot and lore details of a series that feature the main characters transforming into animals and beating down giant monsters with a weapon between their jaws. Time to go play Asura's Wrath again.

For some reason the only thing that I still wonder about, even with all the craziness, is why did Riku and Mickey start wearing the organization gear before kh2. There's something about them infiltrating the organization but what, why, and how can you pretend to be part of something that famously has a certain number of members.

"protects against darkness" is scribbled somewhere down in the margins, beside a big all caps "BLACK CLOAKS"

at the top of the page reads "KEYBLADE WAR"

But see, I also like Halo and some of the Xbone exclusives look pretty neat.

Skip Halo, play Destiny instead (and it's on both platforms)

Halo : Destiny :: Guitar Hero : Rock Band. The dude who called Halo a reanimated corpse is right - the studio that made the game you love has moved on to a new series. Move with them. Play the game, not the name.

Thus far we have established that Everyone = Sora.

Furthermore, we have established that Everyone = Ansem = Xehanort.

Therefore, logic dictates that the reveal of KH3 is that Sora = Xehanort.

Well, yeah, but considering it's design for a vidja game charactere, pretty much every element is bound to boil down to wanting to convey sometinh like that at some level.

Yeah but Mickey Mouse in a black hood looks really really dumb.

Like, I understand the whole "protects you from using the dark passageways, keeps the darkness from eating away at your heart", but then it's like why do the nobodies wear them since they should be able to use the dark passageways with impunity (no hearts to eat)

If this is explained in re:coded or birth by sleep or dream drop distance, I haven't played those ones. Just the main plot from 1-2 (including CoM) and Days (and then stopped buying KH games after Days).

I'm seriously thinking yes, that's what happened. It's Kingdom Hearts.

Also, on a related note, I hope that it's super awkward when Sora and pals go to Radiant Garden and find Ansem the Wise's apprentices. Can you just imagine?

"OH MY GOD, YOU ALMOST DESTROYED THE UNIVERSE!"

"Yeah, about that...WE'RE SUPER, ULTRA, REALLY, REALLY SORRY ABOUT THAT. For reals."

"But you banished your master to a realm of nonexistence!"

"...uh...Xehanort made us do it. But we're totally on the up and up now. Just forget about that time Even hosed with your mind and about how Ienzo and Aeleus tried to make Riku into their own puppet to use against you in the event that Marluxia succeeded in his plan."

"Wait, what?"

I just have to say I love that when Xemnas was handing out uniforms he got heeled boots specifically for Larxene, because she was the only lady member of the Organization. I don't know what their practicality is in battle, but dammit if she's not going to look stylish.

She's an artifical construct made of memories, like the Riku Replica from Chain of Memories. Because of what she is, what she looks like apparently changes depending on who is observing her - (and to the player a few times as well).

As for the character herself? She's probably one of the most needless ones in the entire series - to the point that the writers have an ingame retcon to get rid of her, just so she doesn't screw up KH2's continutiy.

I think the character files in DDD mention that a few of the apprentices are still unstable, whatever that means. Maybe SD&G will stumble upon them glitching in and out of existence or whatever it is people with unstable hearts do.

I knew he was joking, I was just pointing out that they gave Marluxia a deep voice as a stark contrast to his feminine looks. Blah blah bishounen Japan anyway I thought I wrote that they gave "her" a really deep voice, my bad I failed at a joke.
