    do you think Nomura wanted there to be so much stuff about X in this series because it's like if a belt was a letter

    Yes, and he regrets it every day because now he realizes it should have been Z for a zipper instead.

    They Disney and Pixar worlds feeling very different isn't coincidence; different teams worked on each, and had different approaches in regards to collaboration, and how to integrate the larger KH story into the individual world plots.

    having read that IGN article, it's a miracle they were able to get something done in the Frozen World.

    edit: what i'm saying is...more Tron and Black Cauldron. I mean look at San Fransokyo?

    I'm mostly interested to see what the release timeline is
    I was a lot more forgiving of the crazy development when I thought the series was ending, but given the epilogue/secret ending, another absurdly long development cycle is out of the question.

    KH3 was only in development for about five years. While that is a bit long, I wouldn’t call it absurdly long.

    I wonder how much requering Disney/Pixar approval impacted on their schedule.

    Only two, currently

    and they're both from the same person, only pieces, no board

    And they're 3d printed plastic instead of hand carved from the shinbones of tiger sharks. What a let-down.

    Playing as Aqua vs Vanitas was probably my personal favorite moment

    Lingering Will showing up was really great too.

    They both have the best fight music, so it makes sense

    I came into the game with "Let Roxas and Xion be okay or i riot"

    So i popped pretty hard at fighting side by side with them

    Of course it was
    Roxas, Lea and Xion reuniting. I mean seriously Roxas deserved this.

    I didn't know who the hell that was but seeing the reaction commands just fuckin' pile up was rad as hell, I'm a sucker for when a game uses its own rules to do something cool as hell like that

    For the entire game I kept wondering when Ephemer would show up, and then he did and he summoned a damn swarm of Starlight keyblades and I nearly leaped from my chair and cheered.

    Finally replaying the series from the start after not having played since the PS2 era


    I forget do Sora's abilities just happen in fights? like the slide rush thing?

    KH3 was only in development for about five years. While that is a bit long, I wouldn’t call it absurdly long.

    If we being honest KH3 only took this long because Square spent like the last 13 years recovering from Crystal Tools.

    Well, TIL that square doesn’t own the original characters in Kingdom Hearts.

    Yep. We Kingdom Hearts fans are at the complete mercy of Disney. So I expect Kingdom Hearts as a franchise to just abruptly end one day, probably with an in development sequel being cancelled.

    Yeah...I feel the series is in a weird spot at this point.

    Disney obviously doesn't care to much about the series outside of PR and profit and they are so anal about how their properties are managed that I don't think we'll ever get more than short retellings of their movies on their end.

    Why I feel we need more original worlds like KH2 had so SE actually has more room to play around with stuff.

    I feel like you guys are being a bit uncharitable towards Disney on this.

    They’ve been pretty flexible in what they’ve allowed Square to do regarding their IP. Sure you have worlds like Arendale and Corona that are basically retellings of the story, but Disney has always been really protective of any Disney Princess IP (and also Frozen 2 supposedly comes out this year). The others are more flexible in the stories they tell, and that doesn’t even get into what Disney allows Square Enix to do with core characters like Mickey, Donald, and Goofy.

    Plus, Disney’s main goal is to make money, and the KH series is a pretty easy investment for them. They own the series, share in the profits, and have pretty big sway over story aspects, which they seemingly only flex sometimes with some of the Disney worlds. Meanwhile, SE has been a pretty shitty company in recent years. If I was betting on which of these two companies is more likely to torpedo a KH4, I’d bet on the company that has been trying to pretend that a FF7 remake isn’t vaporware for the past few years.

    I would have thought that the copyright was split between the two companies.

    We'd probably be a heck of a lot closer to Final Fantasy VII's remake if Square hadn't apparently gone and restarted the whole thing from scratch and tossed out all the work Cyber Connect 2 had done.

    He whips out Ultima, and has a Stop spell so powerful that only someone who exists outside time itself could escape it.
