I just want to know if Castle Oblivion and all 25 of its floors are going to be a world in KH3 or not.

Considering Ventus is still sleeping in there I wouldn't be surprised if we went back at some point (also I find it kind of funny that even after all this time nobody has bothered filling Sora in on what happened during COM).

Marluxia desperately tries to help Sora remember that time he killed him.

I'm really hoping they don't waste the opportunity of having Sora, Roxas, Ventus, and Vanitas all alive/awake/existing at the same time. These four need to meet up.

Odds are very high that Roxas and Ventus meet. The question is whether they'll be shocked or they know each other from chilling on Sora's heartbeach together for a while.

With Aqua on team Xehanort I figure she'll be retrieving Ventus and taking him to be Norted as well.

Probably, yeah. Chances are Demyx is on the team as well, which leaves just one more spot for Ventus.

That leaves just one slot open, and it's probably Demyx's.

Also, isn't Ventus' heart one of the many currently taking up space in Sora's while his body in Castle Oblivion is little more than a hollow shell at this point? I'm not sure if he can be Norted at the moment since there's no heart to take control of.

I'd think that would make it easier to be Norted--just slap a heart shard or whatever the hell in there. But admittedly I'm not 100% sure how it works (is anyone?).

I really liked DDD and immediately replayed it on Critical after beating the game and doing all of the optional stuff on Proud. I personally like it as much as BBS and KH1 and better than KH2. Even though the plot is word salad to the max. Maybe BECAUSE the plot is word salad to the max!

I bet if Disney and Square had known about the issues that would prevent Tarzan from being reused in future games they would have gone with Jungle Book or something instead(especially since they apparently have tried using it multiple times in the series only to drop it every time)

Also hopefully for the several remaining worlds yet to be revealed for 3 we get at least one completely out of left field selection like NBC was for 1, and POTC, TRON, and Timeless River were for 2

Also it would be neat if some of the worlds exclusive to BBS and 3D got reused eventually in a main game, wouldn't even be particularly hard to justify for most of them

lol that's like the opposite of when they interview people like uematsu and sakaguchi.

"we work closely with each other to make these things out of our dreams... when there is a large team, it can become difficult to realize it as clearly. everyone must work hard together, even if it's just a small group."

Maybe it's because Nomura never should have directed games when he was just a character designer, but stuff happened in the early 2000's that could have gone better.

I picked the Staff in KH1 Final Mix because the extra MP bar was helpful and had to beat the Mysterious Figure without Second Chance because I didn't want to grind to 90.

:hfive:

Honestly Second Chance isn't needed because Leaf Bracer + MP Rage is broken in KH1, you'll never die.

I have no idea how, but somehow I managed to unlock the secret ending of KH2 on Beginner Mode (I went back and beat the final boss again on my clear game file and suddenly triggered it after the credits). Also on that run I learned two useful bits of knowledge:

1. Anti Form actually can kill bosses (I wound up triggering it during the Armored Xemnas fight so I just decided to start slashing away at him until the Drive Gauge emptied out and somehow one ended up finishing him off).

2. If you get the final phase of Xemnas down to his last health bar via a Limit command you can actually skip the Riku section of the fight entirely.

They released/are releasing a full KH compilation on PS4 right? Is it remasteres of all the side games like the DS and 3DS games and everything? I'm considering getting it before KH3 comes out since I never got to experience any of the other games beyond KH1 and KH2, what with them being on 100 different systems.

There's an all-in-one package available on PS4, yes.

Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance are probably the most important ones to take note of (also Chain of Memories if you haven't already seen/played/read about it). So either just play those or look up a plot summary online.

We will be brothers in Hellworld together. I’m honestly more of a Roxas than a Sora, in that I will also do sick nasty skateboard tricks while gleefully slaughtering folks. Are you a Riku or a Mickey?

I like KH2 a lot but
-3 hour tutorial as Roxas that drags every time I repay this
-Atlántica 2: The Musical
-the Organization shows up and are all mysterious and ominous but half of them are already dead because of CoM, and honestly I think the ones introduced in CoM were more interesting (except Xigbar)
-you get these insane movement powers from leveling up your forms and then there is NOTHING in most of the levels that rewards you for using them. BBS was much better about this.
-the levels are really flat and empty. Absolutely the least interesting level design in the series, except maybe Days
-You only get to play as Riku for like 30 seconds

There's a lot I like about it, but I can't say it's the best.

It's amazing how much better KH2 is to KH1 though.

I'll take Atlantica 2: The Musicial to Atlantica 1: Swimming Controls for Combat Suck and the Camera is Terrible.
