[Mr. Smiley]

Oh wow, he's still primarily a Disney-owned character right?

Sora in new Dissidia eventually?

 

[minameissteve]

Very cool.

Maybe there actually is a chance he could come to Dissidia one day?

 

[Xamtheking]

Oh that seems nic-

appearing in his KINGDOM HEARTS Dream Drop Distance HD outfit.

And I'm gone

 

[The Last One]

Great! I'm loving the game so much.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Ahahahaha I love this game

 

[Newtype-001]

Cute

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Oh that seems nic-

And I'm gone

but he looks adorable

look!

 

[RPGCrazied]

Sweet. Sadly though I'll probably be done with the game by then. Does it have a new game plus?

 

[Inuhanyou]

They already have KH rejects as the main characters, why not have the actual protagonist of KH in thar?

 

[Pandora012]

Reminds me of Tidus

 

[Xamtheking]

but he looks adorable

look!

I take it all back (I made the post before the picture was posted)
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE HE'S SO CUTE

 

[Mr. Smiley]

sora without big mickey shoes aint right i tells ya

 

[Auctopus]

I played the demo and got bored quite quickly (I just didn't grow up on turn-based/random encounter games besides Pokemon). But this is really making me want to try again.

 

[Soriku]

Oh that seems nic-

And I'm gone

His outfit in DDD is good though?

 

[Hektor]

"Sora will be available for download for a limited time only"

So it's a free DLC. Cool, i don't mind.



Have we had any information on FFXII characters appearing tho? That's getting a new release too after all and they seem to be completely absent from what i've seen.

 

[kennyamr]

oh that's cool. approve.

 

[kromeo]

Please no, such an awful character design

He does look slightly less ridiculous in chibi form though tbf

 

[JSevere]

aw he's adorable

hope this means Disney's letting SE use Sora for stuff outside of his series of games more. would love to get him in Dissidia

 

[Hot Coldman]

"for a limited time" aka "we're not paying Disney too much for this shit"

 

[Caim]

Almost done with the main story and I haven't seen any XII characters so far.

 

[Father_Brain]

The entire KH IP is Disney-owned, though they don't exactly seem to exert heavy-handed control over it.

 

[Ganon Dragmire]

Sora in new Dissidia eventually?

God no.

It's bad enough that he's this FF game where there still isn't any rep from II, XII, and XIV.

 

[fernoca]

Hey, he looks cute, it's free and the game's great. Can't complain.

 

[Ydelnae]

I'm glad that he appears with his Dream Drop Distance HD costume, because I absolutely did not like the Dream Drom Distance Non HD version of the costume.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I'm honestly surprised that Disney own the character. Yes I realise the IP is theirs, but I would have assumed S-E would own the copyright on original characters like Sora, Rikku, Kairi and Ansem, as they were created by S-E employees.

 

[DKHF]

Er this is pretty cool I guess. I still haven't played this game but will when I'm slightly less busy next month.

Hopefully Hashimoto has a bit more to announce regarding KH at PGW (probably not, though Nomura said he was going to tweet 5 times tonight and he only tweeted once so far).

EDIT: NEW KH3 SCREENSHOT!!

 

[Hektor]

Almost done with the main story and I haven't seen any XII characters so far.

That's sad. I wonder what the reason for that might be.

 

[Alucrid]

are they compensating for his shoe size in previous games

 

[Graphics Horse]

sora without big mickey shoes aint right i tells ya

Hard to wear shoes when you're amputated at the ankle

 

[Samimista]

D'aw. That's adorable. <3

 

[Alec]

Now we just need Sion from The Bouncer!

 

[Rynocirator]

God no.

It's bad enough that he's this FF game where there still isn't any rep from II, XII, and XIV.

I don't see why not outside of the obvious reason. Dissidia is going to be supported for a while and they are aiming for a shit ton of characters. They can fit Sora in there somewhere.

 

[RiderKairuu]

Very cool.

Maybe there actually is a chance he could come to Dissidia one day?

Some people seem oddly against this, but I think he'd fit in perfect with that series.

 

[protomouse]

I don't think Disney gives a damn about the original cast of characters.

 

[papertoonz]

Some people seem oddly against this, but I think he'd fit in perfect with that series.

considering dissida started out as a kingdom Hearts game, yeah he would fit

 

[Byronic Hero]

That's cute, I hope it opens the door for Sora to crossover into more games.

 

[mrjohill]

I'm still upset that zidane isn't in world Of final fantasy &#128530;

 

[papertoonz]

That's cute, I hope it opens the door for Sora to crossover into more games.

yeah the twitter also mentioned that they are "preparing other collaborative works" so yeah, betting he is gonna be added to Dissida

 

[Aters]

God no.

It's bad enough that he's this FF game where there still isn't any rep from II, XII, and XIV.

Man the lack of FFXII really seals the deal for me. I won't support a FF spin-off that doesn't acknowledge FFXII.

 

[Byronic Hero]

yeah the twitter also mentioned that they are "preparing other collaborative works" so yeah, betting he is gonna be added to Dissida

Fun, anything that brings me closer to him appearing in something like Smash Bros is great news.

 

[Chase17]

Sora for XV dlc

I might need to pick up world of FF. Hearing good things about it.

 

[bryehn]

I'll be very done with this game by the time any DLC hits. I can't imagine it's more than 40--50 hours, right? I'm only 3 hours in.

It's good and all, but I won't be in a hurry to play through it again any time soon

 

[Zaverious]

Looks cute. I guess Sora will be coming to DIssidia in the near future going by that tweet. I'm down with it.

 

[woopWOOP]

Weird

If they gonna cram in non-FF characters, give Dragon Quest and Secret of Mana some love too!

 

[sora87]

I approve of this.

Yeah 40ish sounds about right.

 

[Golnei]

Weird

I suddenly really want to see a tiny chibi WoFF version of Kainé.

 

[Psxphile]

So Xenogears being announced as a mirage wasn't a fluke.

On the other hand, Lann and Reyn in the running for KH3 cameos. They can finally be among their own kind.
