The young MX and Eraqus scenes continues to be the best part of this game. I don't know why Nomura decided to metaphor the plot into the world's most confusing chess game, but I love him for it.

Some game dev dudes would resign from a company after having a passion project retooled and finished by someone else but Nomura harnesses that energy into a decade long revenge plan the whole time from the inside.

Anyone have that interview where Nomura said he was putting all his anger into 3?

Also I was going to make a joke about there being no Final Fantasy characters because SE is a mess only Sakurai could barely deal with, but I like the idea it's actually because Nomura is being super petty.

I'm kind of interested in MoM being there (that's obviously him, the only other dude who would make that kind of gesture is Xigbar but MoM had his hands behind his back) since it confirms that MoM has returned to the world after the Keyblade War, but also, I don't care that much. It's cool that we might be getting a TWEWY full world in KH4 or whatever spinoff game comes next that explains how Sora isn't dead. I'm guessing Riku is in that world going after Sora to bring him home, because apparently no female OC characters can do anything ever. I'm predicting the next game will be for the Wii U or whatever new console Nintendo will have out by then, because this series loves to spread itself across every console and because it heightens the chance Sora will be in Smash.

Can't wait for Sora to prevent the events of World of Light by popping in randomly and bopping Galeem like Sonic in Brawl.

A lot of the best designers at Square Enix spent years upon years doing work for a version of Versus XIII that never got released, and now they’re working on a Final Fantasy VII remake that will never get released.

The Final Fantasy VII remake is going to be part of whatever crazy poo poo Nomura has cooking now.

I wish there was some special button combination that let's just do the airstep when the shiny square shows up. Right now I have to go into focus, then lock onto it, and press square. It feels kinda janky.

It's not a disney moment but I actually really really liked Ansem Seeker of Darkness turning around in full on angry We Don't Want Any mode on Pence when he came around trying to distract him. People probably forgot about it after the Heyner Kick though.

"No, No, NO! Nobody lives here and that doesn't make any sense, gently caress off! Shoo!

Sora is the only one other than I guess Lingering Will that figured out how to form change his keyblade, clearly he's the only competent one among them.

Imagine how hosed Sora would have been if Xehanort knew how to Formchange the X-blade.

It seems like not all Keyblades can formchange, the Kingdom Key just reverts Sora back to his 2self.

This is clearly Yen Sid's fault for giving Riku and Mickey lovely Keyblades.

Also I bet Axel's could formchange to his Nobody weapons.

To be fair, Kairi getting screwed over is kind of a running theme in this franchise (KH3 was just particularly egregious about it).

That said, I kind of wish there was a way to revisit the Realm of Darkness/Land of Departure again so we could replay the Riku & Aqua segments. Speaking of which, does Riku have his own Shotlock? I don't think I checked either of the two times we actually got to play with him.

He doesn't, he doesn't even have a focus gauge.

It's kinda weird that he doesn't, Dark Firaga could have been it, but it's his triangle command when you fill up the thing above the command menu.

the mask dudes and Xigbar were all students of the First Man in the Black Coat, the Master of Masters. I'm pretty sure that's him in the Yozora trailer.

He gave Xigbar the No Name Keyblade (Xehanort's), and the Black Box (the thing he's carrying and that Maleficent is looking for), then hosed off for reasons unknown.

The others- the Animal Masks- then eventually started the War that lead to the Keyblade Graveyard, while Xigbar did...stuff. And eventually gave Xehanort the No Name- or gave it to someone who he stole it from maybe, given the flashbacks-. The end scene is that he finally got it back after all these years and has his box and his friends back for...whatever reason

According to the reports Kingdom Hearts and the end of the Keyblade War is some sort of signal for them to return.

I think Vanitas hints at this in BBS. During the final battle he says something about the X-blade opening the door to all worlds causing other keyblade bearers to gather and fight for Kingdom Hearts' light.

xehanort played chess with eraqus, then got sent into the future into a parallel timeline. in the real timeline he grew into an old man, hung out with eraqus and then turned terra evil. bbs happened, creating terranort, and then xehanort forgot his life story and existed as apprentice xehanort. somehow, nobody raised an eyebrow at this guys name. apparently xehanort is a common name. he did the thing with the guys and turned into ansem and xemnas, and both ansem and xemnas got kidnapped from their story before it finished from a parallel timeline(this is important. xemnas and ansem character arcs did not get retconned. they are from another time line.). ansems heart some how went back in time, turned into the guy in the brown cloak, told his past self to stop playing chess and instead do Bad poo poo, then in the real timeline set up the events for kh1. xemnas did xemnas things, kh2 ends and the heartless and nobody are gone. now, master xehanort comes back and high fives his past self - with two xehanorts, master xehanort helps young xehanort go back in time and bring ansem, xemnas, and terranort into the future. but these are just copies of the real versions. think of it as going back in time and copying ansem and xemnas right before they get their rear end whooped by sora and pasting them into the future. xehanort then recruits people for his real organization, and then they get beaten by sora again because why did they think anything different would happen

I always thought that Xehanort was from the Destiny Isles but I guess Scala ad Caelum was like originally like Hogwarts for Keyblade dudes so they come from everywhere

Also why does it seem like some worlds are more integrated into the "World Order" than others? Traverse Town, Twilight Town, Radiant Garden, Disney Castle, and maybe parts of Destiny Islands all come to mind. They seem to all be filled with people aware of travelers from other worlds and don't see it as a big deal.

It seems like 3 cares more about order than any other game, like I only remember ever coming up in Atlantica in the first game, but in 3 Sora can't stop himself from blabbing to first people he meets in every Disney world so Donald has to shout "Order!" likes it's a catchphrase.

Also speaking of order I'm calling bullshit on Donald in Arendelle saying his magic can't conjure up winter clothes when in the Caribbean it had no problem giving them fancy pirate duds even though they didn't get any last time they were there.
