17th is the Japanese release date. 24 would be everywhere else.
KH3 development was never affected. The remasters are done by a smaller, separate team. The only thing that I could think of that would affect the game's development was removing the 0.2 BBS portion (which was originally gonna be KH3's prologue), and adding it to 2.8.[DOUBLEPOST=1477585229][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, the collection will be priced at a reasonable $49.99.
So I made a tiny mistake and had to update the OP, but basically, the the second image of Sora is another new Drive Form called "Power Form"
Actually, the reason for the delay was because of too many other releases happening around the same time (such as FFXV).[DOUBLEPOST=1477583720][/DOUBLEPOST]It's nice that 1.5 and 2.5 will finally be on the PS4, but this is probably better for those who haven't gotten the remasters before. Simply adding 60 FPS isn't enough for me to abandon the PS3 releases, so I personally will stick to those.
Even though we were told no new KH3 info would be released till after 2.8 comes out, two new screenshots from the highly anticipated game were released, showing two new Drive Forms for Sora called "Guard Form" and "Power Form": View attachment 45660 View attachment 45661 The shield in the first image (Guard Form) is a transformed version of the Keyblade of Hercules’ shield (seen in previous promos). As for the second image (Power Form), the Keyblade being used was edited out because it's from a new world that has yet to be revealed. via Gematsu

Checking in
I just realized that the Monaco event Nomura will be attending is happening a couple of weeks after 2.8's release. And considering we were promised KH3 news following 2.8's release, I wonder if this event will be when we are finally given some news.
~CNN News Van~ Yawning as it was waiting for Alexa, Helioptile noticed Alexa entering the van, happy to see its master return... "I'm back," Alexa said. "Eriki!" Helioptile cheered as it rushed towards Alexa, only to stop upon noticing Mimikyu, shrieking in terror as it hid under a desk. "Hehe, don't be scared, Helioptile," Alexa told her Pokemon as she placed Mimikyu close to where Helioptile was hiding, "This is Mimikyu. Go on and say hi." Slowly coming out of its hiding spot, Helioptile slowly approached Mimikyu, sniffing the Pokemon as it wondered out loud, "Eri?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School - Drama Class~ "Good morning!" Max Goof told Kuja as he entered the Drama classroom and took a seat. As he took out his things, he started to think about Cassie, still feeling curious about why Cassie didn't attend school recently. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - French Class~ "Hey, Rue," Dick greeted Rue as they entered the French classroom. "Hey, Dick," Rue replied as the two sat at their desks. "So, you heard about Connor and Katniss?" Dick asked Rue. "Yup," Rue answered. "So... aren't you surprised?" Dick asked. "Not really," Rue replied, "I knew it'd happen eventually." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Robotics Class~ While Xehanort was in his desk reading over the Robotics textbook, Clemont and Joshua both entered the classroom, with Joshua greeting Clemont, "Morning." "Morning to you as well," Clemont replied as they both went to their seats. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Pokemon Battling Class~ "Morning, Professor Oak," Ritchie greeted Professor Oak as he and his Pikachu, Sparky, entered. "Ah, good morning, Ritchie," Oak replied as he was organizing his desk, "I hope you have your Mega Evolution presentation ready." "Yup," Ritchie replied as he took a seat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Philosophy Class~ As they entered the Philosophy classroom, Vanitas and Double D both sat at their desks, waiting for class to begin. While he waited, Vanitas noticed a certain cap on Ghetsis's desk, figuring that he voted for Harold Saxon. 'Thank you for helping advance the Crystal Order's goals, Mr. Ghetsis,' Vanitas thought to himself, grinning. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Advanced Calculus Class~ "Morning, guys," Sully greeted students as they entered his classroom, which included Loki and Luna, "Make sure to have your homework ready for grading." As they sat down, both Loki and Luna took out their homework as instructed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Biochemistry Class~ "Made it," Roxas said to himself as he arrived to the Biochemistry classroom.

When I first saw her, so much of her physical appearance reminded me of Serena. But having took care of her ever since that day, I noticed it's more than looks... everything about her reminds me of Serena. If I didn't know any better, I'd assume she was actually related to us." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - English Class~ "Morning, everyone," John Smith greeted students as they entered the English classroom, "Hope we're all ready to read Chapter 3." "Sure am," Vanellope von Schweetz replied as she and Xion went to their desks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - History Class~ "Well... that was certainly interesting," Sunset Shimmer commented as she sat down in her usual spot. "What was?" Hiccup asked. "Well, Vergil, my Demonology instructor, just decided to quit during class," Sunset replied. "Woah... you're right, that definitely would've been interesting to see," Hiccup said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Modern History Class~ "Hey there, Dante, Billy," Riku greeted the two as he entered the Modern History classroom, humming to himself as he sat down in his seat, and took out his textbook from his backpack, taking a quick peek at the contents of today's lesson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School - Shop Class~ Arriving to the Shop classroom, Bulk Biceps noticed other students perfecting their projects, others not doing anything since they already submitted their project the previous day, just as he did. So Bulk wondered if he and the other students who finished early would be getting a grade on their projects today or not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Chemistry Class~ "Morning, Anais," Connor greeted his lab partner from the previous day as he sat next to her. "Morning to you as well," Anais replied, handing him a graded lab assignment, "Eraqus already graded our assignment." "And we got a 100," Connor happily said as he looked over the graded lab assignment he and Anais worked on the previous day, earning a perfect score, "Nice!" As Connor and Anais high-fived each other, Anais commented, "So, I hear you and a certain girl are an item now." "You mean Katniss?" Connor asked, "Heh, that's right... don't know how it happened, but it just did..." "Well, could you not talk about it," Anais replied, "I'm four years old, so I find that kind of stuff pretty disgusting." "Heh, alright, alright, I promise," Connor promised Anais. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Music Class~ "Ah, Mr. Banks and Mr. Smith," Yen Sid greeted the two as they entered his class, "I trust you two will be ready for tonight." "Indeed, sir," Carlton replied, "I'll be wearing a suit that will make me look so good, you'll think I was the next eligible on 'The Bachelor.'" "In what reality?" Will questioned his cousin, poking fun at him as Carlton rolled his eyes in response. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Algebra Class~ "Good morning, everyone!" Star happily greeted everyone in the Algebra classroom as she and Marco entered. "Hey there, umm... youse ain't gonna turn into a monster like youse did yesterday, right?" Beat asked nervously Star. "Oh, of course not, silly," Star replied, "Just back to my usual self." "Right..." Beat said. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Gym Class~ Spoiler: BGM Whistling as he walked towards the boys' locker room, Eddy noticed Ed behind him, running towards the boys' locker room as well. "Hehe..." Eddy silently giggled, wanting to play a trick on Ed. Stepping aside, Eddy tripped Ed with his foot, sending Ed flying towards the locker room, while Ed cried, "Alley-oop!" Stepping inside the locker room, Eddy noticed that Ed had his head stuck in a locker while giggling. "Hehe... boy Ed, you sure crack me up sometimes," Eddy commented as he went to change to his gym uniform. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Arendelle~ As Demande's ship docked, Demande, Saphir, and King Candy/Turbo exited the ship to meet with Hans and the others. "Ah, good to see you two once again," Prince Demande told Olaf and Hans. "Likewise," Hans replied as he shook hands with Demande and Saphir, "And it's good to see you again, Saphir." "Indeed," Saphir said, "Where are Anna and Elsa?" "They'll be here soon," Olaf replied as he noticed King Candy, "Hey, I remember you! You were at that banquet in Tokyo when Hans and Elsa signed that treaty." "Oh, hohoho, I'm glad someone remembers me," Candy/Turbo said as he shook hands with Olaf and Hans, "Hans, great to see you once again." "It's great to see you too, your majesty," Hans replied, "Follow me. Maybe we'll bump into Anna or Elsa on our way to the castle." Nodding, the others followed Hans.

Strange... have you tried using a different browser? If that doesn't work, another possible solution would be resetting your modem/router.
I absolutely love this idea of "franchise RPs", or as I like to personally call them, shared RP universes. I feel they could allow exploration of elements in a role-play that wouldn't fit in the main/first thread. While I don't see something like that happening in the RP I take part in (yet?), I will be doing something sorta similar by writing a short story focused on a few of my characters set in the same RP.
Type: Null's evolution, Silvadi: Spoiler Also, Jangmo-O's two evolutions, Jarango and Jararanga: Spoiler
I'm guessing probably the latter, where it's the same story, just small differences (sorta like the differences between CoM and Re:CoM)
