Kingdom Hearts 3 to have less Disney Worlds than KH2
- Thread starter KZXcellent
- Start date
You will get DLC with them and like it.
They won't make a full Kairi title, fucking lol.
Force Awakens is too recent, BH6 was the latest movie they could get in development. Besides, there's no way they would pass up having Vader as a KH boss.
Their ain't no way Frozen isn't making it in, Disney would stop production to force the whole team to make that world.
It's too big not to be put in.

Oh shit.
Sugar Rush would be amazing.

Vader is old hat now. Not only did he turn good, he's dead. He's not a very threatening villain any more.

I will be more surprised if there isn't Frozen than otherwise.
That plus it seems like a pretty natural fit for Kingdom Hearts. Just having Elsa as part of your party would sell a lot of people on the game.
Less worlds means less chances for Star Wars and Marvel worlds to show up!
I'm hoping for worlds from:
Lilo and Stitch (Hawaii)
Emperor's New Groove
Finding Nemo
Treasure Planet (highly doubtful though)
Having summons from Zootopia, Moana, Monsters Inc, Incredibles, and maybe some obscure films like the Rescuers would be coo.
That Frozen world reveal will happen eventually.
Nice

Or even Disney optional cameo battles would be much more interesting.

All these people clamoring for worlds based on stuff like Treasure Planet and Atlantis kinda remind me of the folks clamoring for characters like Wonder Red in Smash Bros. threads, lol.
What if the Pixar unified universe theory is wrong
What if it's Toy Story that is part of the KH universe??
Yeah movies from that era of Disney will most likely be on the lower end of possible worlds.
My favorite Disney toon.
Lol, still cracks me up.

Why wouldn't they? SE has no issue with female protags, and she'd be easier to run a full game with than Riku. Riku has combat history, so he wouldn't be as interesting, from not only a gameplay standpoint, but also story. She's an open book right now.
I'd rather they do that, than try to shoehorn every guardian of light into 10 hours of dlc. Though, I guess a full on reboot is more likely. Eh, round 2 with this story is probably gonna be even worse.
No worries, I understand your reasoning and know it wasn't done maliciously. Thank you for your consideration!
It's not that they have a problem with female protag, it's just despite being important lore wise, she just doesn't do much or anything at all in any of the games.
And no Riku is WAY easier to justify a full game with. He's WAY more popular, he's basically the 2nd main of the series, he already has a game play style they can flesh out and expanded. He does more in the story to build and expanded upon more so than Kairi.
DLC is cheaper at the end of the day and easier to do than make some full spin off game.
Kairi's development as a character is somewhat lacking. She was more used as a plot device than anything else in most games. Kingdom Hearts III could be the perfect occasion for her to finally make herself known as something else than the
.
That being said, if I were to choose now, I would take Aqua as a controllable female protagonist over Kairi everytime.

True, but I'm really not the most hopeful that will happen.

I found the worlds of KH2 to be underwhelming, give me more detailed and less worlds instead
I'm happy to hear this

I'd say that's realistic. I'd like to think that Zootopia and Moana both came out too late into the games development to be realistically implemented. So my best guess would be:
Returning Worlds:
As far as any potential Star Wars related contented. I'm betting that maybe Kylo Ren gets relegated to being a Secret/Bonus Boss ala Sephiroth.
Returning Worlds:
- Aladdin - Agrabah & The Vanishing Isle
- Hercules - Colosseum & Mt. Olympus
- Big Hero 6 - San Fransokyo
- Frozen - Arendelle
- Tangled - Corona
- Toy Story - Andy's Room/Neighborhood
- Wreck-it-Ralph - Fix-It Felix, Jr/Hero's Duty/Sugar Rush

I'm not a KH lore scholar but isn't it an agreed upon fact that Kairi is regarded as pretty much just a love interest and plot device for Sora and Riku to have something to fight over? As in she could skip a KH and not affect the story in any meaningful way?
I still can't believe we can see the panties of an underage girl in a Disney game (KH2).
Heh, she could have a vitriolic relationship with
Axel/Lea
her big "WHAT?!" when Yen Sid orders her to train under Merlin alongside him suggests she still resent him for KH2's events
But yeah, I wouldn't bet on it either.
Spoilers for KH3D and 0.2 (and the concert lol):
Kairi is now as important to the plot as every other keyblade master, since she has been training for a good amount of time in the Merlin timeless chamber. There is no actual reason that she could not be a capable fighter more than Ven (who has been sleeping 12 years), Roxas and other copies
I would bet on her taking a more active role in this game, if she doesn't end up being the second playable character.
Actually I hope she and him are a team duo just for shipping potential
Non-Disney Worlds (In Some Form):
Twilight Town (Already shown)
Destiny Islands (Sora has to return home for supper)
Radiant Garden (Kari's the Princess, Final Fantasy characters are from here, the human forms of the Organization members live here)
Realm of Darkness (
)
The World That Never Was (
)
Castle Oblivion (
)
Keyblade Graveyard (
)
Twilight Town (Already shown)

Realm of Darkness (
Someone has to rescue Aqua
The World That Never Was (
It's still the Organizations base
Castle Oblivion (
Gotta get Ventus' body back
Keyblade Graveyard (
I'm assuming that Daybreak Town became this
The 2 worlds I'd be willing to bet money on will be in the game are Frozen and Wreck-It Ralph. They both work really well as KH worlds and are well within the development time frame from their theatrical release. My hail mary hope is the classic Robin Hood (the Fox one). It might be licensing nightmare, but still want it to happen.

For some reason, I just remembered Zootopia.
Anyone think that might be a possibility?
Movie was huge, made over a billion, critically acclaimed and won an Oscar

Come on! Shipping them? Kidnapped girls never fall for their kidnappers! That wouldn't make any sense. That has certainly never happened before. It wouldn't be cliche at all to have such a ridiculous event occurs. Besides, Kairi only has eyes for Sora. Or Riku. Or both of them? But they are bros. Super-bros. In a relationship together. Kinda. They shared the same key. OK I'm confused.
... Heh, the shipping trees may be even more convulated that the actual story. So many possibilities.

I wonder if Halloween Town will come back. It's one of my favorites. I also hope for the return of platforming and Trinity moves.

I said it earlier in this thread, and I'll say it again:
Tron: Legacy - November 30, 2010
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - March 29, 2012
(16 months' gap)
Zootopia - February 10, 2016
Moana - November 14, 2016
Kingdom Hearts III - Sometime after March 2018
(25 months' gap for Zootopia; more than 16 months' gap for Moana)
Apparently Big Hero 6 was the last world they decided to include back in 2015 so a Zootopia world isn't possible. Though maybe they can add one of the characters as a summon or make it a DLC world after 3 comes out or something.

Wreck-It-Ralph would make too much sense for this game. A game world within a game? That's 4th wall breaking.
What are the confirmed worlds so far? I'm out of the loop
Twilight Town
Tangled
Olympus
Toy Story
Big Hero 6
Also Big Hero 6
People righty mock that fakeass Insomnia "Leak" but just imagine it though.
Sora: Where....are we?
Goofy: Looks like a city.
Sora: A city? The World that Never Was?
Goofy: Don't think so.
Sora: Then, where....Armigear activates in the background
Noctis warps into view
Somnus starts playing
he is the KH3 version of Lingering Will
Sora: Where....are we?

Ain't that the truth :/The movie is so forgettable I forgot it
Because they are separate worlds.

I'm pretty sure that's fake since Nomura said in this interview that big hero 6 was the last world they started working on even though it was announced early which is why he still couldn't show it in this trailer. Also toy story being one of the first worlds they worked on, which is why he said toy story is basically complete. If this guy was real, toy story would have been in production and bh6 wouldn't have been.

Yeah. Would be absolutely shocked if Frozen were not in this.
No idea. Would be really awesome though.
Oh yes. This one will probably never happen, but man that could so damned cool.

That's disappointing, but as long as each world is unique and fun in their own way, I'll be satisfied.
Way to late to add, Nomura comment Big Hero 6 is the latest world they will add.
