I think the only people who have canonically perma-died via darkness/heartless are Clayton and Cinderella's family.
Well yeah, but it's not like the Destiny Island buddies don't have any backstory baggage either.
Now if this was another series, they would probably summarize everything in one sentence. "Hey Riku, do you remember that one time you conquer the darkness? That was cool!"
But this is Nomura so expect a 4 hour explanation of why Riku is able to shoot dark fireballs even thought it doesn't really matter anymore.
Thought that was because the Kingdom Hearts encoder exploded and blew the darkness off of him, so now he's immune and can use dark powers without fear of corruption.

Hmm do you guys think the tangled world will have Corona in it or will it just be the tower area and the forest.
It will have everything you saw in Tangled
and in Frozen

Maybe SE should hire Team Ninja/Nioh team to develop KH 4.
-Based in Tokyo, can have Nomura breathing on their necks making him feel useful
-Previous relationship already in place with Dissidia
-Plot just as ridicilous and bad as you would expect from a modern KH
-Rock solid 60 fps on base PS4 with same resolution as sub 30fps 0.2 with acceptable graphics
-Menus are instant and don't feel like the whole game struggle to get them running for some weird reason
-Enemies who signal their moves and can be stunlocked without bullshit
-3D viewer for all enemies and characters, previously a staple on KH and missing from 0.2
-Summon abilities that are pretty cool to use.
You know you want it.

I think it'll have the town as well. Something similar to the areas of 0.2 except not all wrecked by darkness, like Mickey's shirt.
I'm curious about whether or not you'll actually get to go into the other dimension in the Big Hero 6 world since it's been confirmed that you're gonna be fighting the darkness-infested Baymax body that Hiro left behind in there at the end.

These worlds are going to be so big just seeing the different locales of Olympus has me all giddy
Maybe I should throw you off a bridge like I've considered. I prefer KH the way it is.

Did I mention how Nioh beta was better than 0.2 and had more content for free?

It's funny i was just thinking that. This world I've been to countless times over and over again for years and years feels fresh and newWhen even Olympus seems exciting, you know KH3 is going to be thrilling

Definitely! Though, it may also be related to the fact that KH3 is finally coming out in the somewhat near future
I've actually never gotten to try it, so looking forward to the 1.5 + 2.5 release in March to finally try him out, Lingering Will, and the Data Battles

I mean, except for the part where he locks your commands. Hate that shit, hate it in Re:CoM when Zexion blows your cards away, hate it against Lingering Will, hate it against BBS Young Xehanort when he blows your commands away.
Goofy shit that treats the command menu as a real in-game object is just annoying and immersion-breaking.
But yes. KH1 Xemnas is a super good tough-but-fair boss fight outside of that.
You should play/watch recoded after playing KH2 and BBS. It's set right after KH2 but like CoM you go through the same KH1 worlds with the same stories. The only important stuff happens at the very end but you pretty much already know the information given to you after playing BBS. It's just laid right out for you this time and sets up DDD.

I wish I could get KH1 on psn instead of having to get the disc, because I have no interest in playing Re: CoM, and watching the coded cutscenes was a waste of a few hours, so I don't know that I'd bother with Days.

I even found a new favourite playing the HD version, the Grid theme. Before I didn't really pay attention to it but it's actually really cool and unique.
KH4 releases next week in japan, interested to see how the ports are (mostly loading times and if they are as bug riddled as the PS3 versions).
Majestic Wings is probably my favorite on the soundtrack
Do not watch the Days "cinematic". It's Kingdom Hearts at its absolute worst storytelling and without the gameplay to distract you from it. If you want to experience the story, read the manga, because it's actually the best written thing to come from this entire franchise.

Interesting. Does that apply to all the manga adaptions?
He can eat his ice cream alone.If you're not watching, then who will Roxas share his ice cream with?
I do.
I have my opinions on all of those:
358/2 Days: Excellent
Kingdom Hearts 2: Mostly quite good
Chain of Memories: Mostly average but sometimes rising above it to have excellent moments.
Kingdom Hearts 1: Mediocre at best.

Fuckin NieR selling KH level numbers.
Time to give KH4 to Platinum. No wait, KH4 to Team Ninja and KH5 to Platinum.

Bridge.
KH only sells 200k? I thought it was Square's best selling series, on par with FF.

DDD, the last ''mainline'' entry, sold 200k first week in japan. Also worth noting 3DS at the time had sold over a million more units than PS4 currently and NieR did much better job selling it's initial shipment.
sad
I suppose that makes sense given that the series danced around with handheld spinoffs for over half a decade instead of releasing a numbered sequel.

I think Platinum would be sort of wasted on this IP, honestly. Don't get me wrong, having them handle a spinoff would be kind of neat, but I think they're better off being paired with stranger stuff.
They don't really seem necessary for KH, given how generally competent the series is at delivering its style of action-RPG combat - it's certainly nowhere near the original Nier in terms of what it stands to gain. Still, some sort of future collaboration with S-E would be great to see from them, whether it's continuing to work with Yoko Taro or a different original IP / extant series revival.
It's clear that their wholly in-house original IPs stand no chance of succeeding, and pure action games no longer have a substantial role in the market; so working on more action RPGs with S-E is at least preferable to churning out zero-budget tie-in games until the end of time.
The games on 3DS that had done better than DDD up until that point were either launch games and/or the biggest handheld/general IPs in Japan (Mario, Monster Hunter, Nintendogs). Installbase also doesn't matter much if most of the main audience is not on that system (which it probably wasn't since the PS KH games have sold the best by far in Japan). So I think DDD did decently selling 350K LTD considering the time it came out (and 358/2 Days "only" did 500K on a much bigger installbase and much further into that system's life).
KHIII will easily sell significantly more than NieR first week considering 2.8 wasn't that far behind NieR (137K FW for an overpriced collection vs 198k FW for a new game). KHIII will probably do 450K+ FW.

I just realized that Persona 5 releases less than a week after 1.5+2.5 over here.
