My only problem is that I remember Saix being kind of a dick in KH2 and Days so screw him really.
I will stand by this statement till the day I die, but KH3 would have had a GOAT world lineup if Agrabah was in here. King of Thieves and the Turtle Island need to happen in Kingdom Hearts.The theatrical stage productions of Aladdin hire actors skilled at improv for the Genie role and it was a huge missed opportunity for the movie.
EDIT: Also, I am so damn happy that Agrabah was left out of KH3. That world was played out before they even got to KH2.

Also, 3D needed to happen not to set up 3, but to set up χ/Unchained χ/Union X. Without that game to teach us about sleeping worlds, dream eaters, nightmares, and all that dream fuckery, the plot of the χ Saga would make no sense, especially the chirithy.
He's no better here...
So...Riku's new Hairstyle is a product of
a) The heartless swarm fucking him up
or
b) RRiku Joining his heart with his?
The hair? Man, I've been focusing on the wrong thing. The whole time I was paying attention to his eyes changing from blue to green. Because yellow + blue = green *mind blown*, but when RRiku left him he was back to blue.
Yeah but at the very least Dream Worlds make some sense thanks to 3D, so whatever the hell ties the plot together would involve everyone waking up in the real worldline. Unless Chi takes place in the Dream World of a Data Worldine, then its just fucking stupid.
Yep. From the Riku reveal trailer where he was shown off with the longer hair, it was obvious that his Green Eyes were not a color error but some form of him having some Xehanort Darkness under control deep in his heart.The hair? Man, I've been focusing on the wrong thing. The whole time I was paying attention to his eyes changing from blue to green.

HIS EYES CHANGED!?
Fuck I need to replay this game after I leave this shitty job, playing while exhausted made me lose lots of details
I'm going to miss Xemnas. Dude's always been the most interesting of the Xehanort variations, and he continued to deliver in 3. Also, his voice. I'm gonna miss that voice. He had his own heart, it ain't fair.
Young Xehanort really grew on me too, the cocky bastard. Both of them. I'm convinced we haven't seen the last of him though. I'm telling y'all the temptation to bring him back SOMEDAY is going to be too strong and they'll go it with the one that got utilized the least.
Speaking of missing, it's what I wish Kairi stayed to be honest with y'all. It would've been a rather insulting way to end her whole character "arc" but man, at some point they should have cut their losses if they can't manage to make the character remotely interesting. I guess there's always next game. Again.
$10 say Master Xehanort will give Sora an afterlife pep talk and a power up eventually
I'm partially wondering if part of Disney's contract specified that Maleficent would have to be present as a villain.so pete and maleficent were just there to just tease future games, right? or am i forgetting something that they actually did?
More than gameplay ND story segregation is cutscene incompetenceGameplay-story segregation meaning gameplay isn't canon to the story.

Like Sora pirate shipping Anti-Aqua.
I do think Terra = Guardian is set up at the end of BBS. Terranort locks out his heart when he shouts to Terra to get out his heat and the Guardian immediately appears and melts behind him
Replica body.
Tbf malefica did things in BbS and coded.So will Maleficient actually get the box and do something for once after 7 games?
Please a reminder
Maleficent, being the villain of Sleeping Beauty, is the main villain of Enchanted Dominion in Birth by Sleep. She gives some aid to Xehanort and then has it out with Terra, Ventus, and Aqua on their various visits.
Thanks!Maleficent, being the villain of Sleeping Beauty, is the main villain of Enchanted Dominion in Birth by Sleep. She gives some aid to Xehanort and then has it out with Terra, Ventus, and Aqua on their various visits.
In Coded, she gets pulled into the datascape by Pete and then starts fucking things up by doing evil things within it.
Not enough people are talking about Mickey casting Ultima or Donald's Zettaflare. Both had enough of Xehanort's shit and were ready to earn their teardrop eye tattoos.

So uh, this has probably been discussed by now, but does this plotline just straight up go nowhere or am I missing something? Yeah, it's setting up future stuff, I get that and the Chi connection. But what were Xemnas' intentions?
Probably not.Thanks!
So what she did in Coded might impact her current plans in KHUX?
Just seems like MX was just like "yall were around during the keyblade war so that makes yall cool enough imo so Ima possess yall"
I mean, it's not like it's the first game to do that. Both BBS and 358 made it clear what direction they were going with Saix/Isa, so it's not really out of the blue or anything in KH3. The stuff about the mysterious girl is new, but otherwise this is stuff that's been set up for a bit, at least in regard to Axel/Lea's and Saix's/Isa's relationship with each other and what was going on there. Especially after he showed up in BBS in Radiant Garden with Lea, I knew there was no way something like that wasn't going to happen eventually.Some parts of the ending frustrated me, some won me over.
But the absolute worst part was by FAR the story attempting to make me care about Saix and be happy for his return.
Like, THIS is what we get instead of Final Fantasy characters: A last minute tragic background story (and even worse, a UX tie-in), so that now we know that the guy who kidnapped and imprisoned Kairi and treated Roxas and Xion like dirt did it because he was so lonely guys.
And then he's having ice cream with everyone.

Might not make it better, but it's not exactly at last minute.
Maybe when they first found the organization members 9-12 Xemnas was hoping for them to remember to use a keyblade but it never happened so they lucked out with Roxas. Other than that I do agree that it had no relevance outside of setting up KH4 and Union x updates.
Yes. The game is updated with new story content every couple of months.I was stunned to see how much of the ending and story going into the next arc ties solely into the mobile game. I haven't followed it at all, but is this something that is going to get major story updates post KH3 that will need to be followed into the next set of games? Any word on that?
That makes sense, I like that, but he still talked about it as if it's something that is relevant to the current plans. They didn't reveal anything, Xemnas! Why the evil laugh!

I wouldn't be surprised if Xemnas was just stringing them along to get them on his side and he never had any plans for them at all.
We already have a "movie" with the plot about the foretellers in KH3 engine in the prologue collection.
The rest of the mobile game will probably get a "Re:" version soon
Union X is still getting updated. I wouldn't expect an Re: version of that game for the near term. Maybe a game set during that era that overlaps with certain events, but I wouldn't expect the mobile game as a whole to be adapted into a console title.We already have a "movie" with the plot about the foretellers in KH3 engine in the prologue collection.

Sure, why not. I was expecting more but I guess I'll just go with that + it being the reason for their initial selection.
Yes. The game is updated with new story content every couple of months.
For KH3 though, all you really need is the Back Cover movie from the 2.8 collection.
Yep. Xemnas was never at any point straight with them. Which didn't exactly help him in the first place since Marluxia and Larxene spearheaded an attempted coup in CoM.
Sure, why not. I was expecting more but I guess I'll just go with that + it being the reason for their initial selection.
I wonder how they'll handle that considering that it's still ongoing. I'm assuming they'll select a cut-off point and continue to remake it in chunks as long as the mobile game is making them money?
Haha yeah, it'd be completely in character.
Hmm. I honestly rather like the sound of that so hope it happens. It'd need some fleshing out but UX actually has some rather compelling bits in it in my opinion. And Daybreak Town as a 3D hub would be pretty sweet.
I think It's implied it didn't make it ):
I'm amazed at how likeable some of the UX characters are when they're literally cardboard cutouts
Didn't get to fully hear the Vanitas/Terranort battle theme during their fight, but wow, this is absolutely beautiful
I think it's just that the Grand Magic is faster to appear as a Situation CommandI don't understand the "endless magic" ability of Mickey clasp. I thought it meant magic would not consume the MP gauge. So how does it actually work?
