Oooh another playable character? Hmm... I want to say Aqua or Riku. (leaning more towards Riku since we've already played as Aqua in Fragmentary Passage and are up to date on her story line within the realm of darkness) unless she becomes playable after she's saved and you go on this mini adventure with her to save Ventus. That'd be cool, but I think I'd rather play as Riku. He seems like he's doing his own thing and it looks mysterious.



Mah boy even packed and everything.

My impulse was also either Riku or Aqua. But... we've been both of them fairly recently, as KH3D turned out to be Riku's day in the spotlight and we've just been Aqua in 0.2... perhaps it'll be someone entirely new, an equivalent to starting out KH2 as Roxas. It's been a while since new characters have been introduced into the mix.

OH MY GOD NOMURA SWEET JESUS YOU MAGNIFICENT *******, YOU ARE GLORIOUS AND I LOVE YOU.

HE WOULDNT MIND BRINGING THE KH COLLECTION TO XBOX IF PEOPLE DEMAND IT OMG.

WHERE'S THAT PETITION WEBSITE? I WANT ****ING KH ****.

Also, a second playable character?

Hmmmm.... So, like DDD where you could choose Riku or Sora? I wanna play as Kairi though, just to see her next gen panties.

That's true. If I had to pick a character we haven't played with yet, I'd go with either Kairi or Mickey

OR

We get sucked into the game and become the new playable character.

That Tetsuya Nomura, always pushing boundaries. :)

Ooh, I hadn't thought about. About an actual established character we haven't played as yet. I meant an entirely new character who gets introduced in KH3... we haven't had any hints of that yet, but given how impossibly huge KH3 is shaping up to be, completely new characters wouldn't be unexpected. But maybe it's better off without them. Unless you count human Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene as new characters, and they gotta do that before the saga ends, right?

Oh, I thought that was what you meant lol
It can go either way really. They could either stick with the characters they have now and make one of them playable or they could introduce someone new. (I doubt it though and I kinda hope they don't since it's the conclusion to a long saga) but I suppose wouldn't be out of the question. It would be a good way to introduce and ease in a new protagonist for the series if they change their mind on Sora carrying the series after the Xehanort saga.

(I would really enjoy playing as Mickey though, or even as Lea)

>The player being put into the game to play as themselves

So....Venom Sora.

kairi sounds pretty good she and Lea could be a team

Exactly.

Sora- master of the elements.

On Focusing New Worlds:

With Kingdom Hearts III, there was deliberate intent to kind of focus on the more newer titles. And then in terms of previous titles, we tried to balance it so that we have a good mix of some of the older IPs as well as some of the new worlds as well. But, yeah, with Kingdom Hearts III, there was a shift in that sort of thinking so we can focus on some of the newer titles.

[NOTE: Nomura also mentioned the process in choosing worlds, trying to see whether fans would enjoy it, and are extra careful to not include worlds that are too similar (much like how the decision was made to abandon a Jungle Book world in KH1 in favor of Deep Jungle).]

I still have my fingers crossed for a Wreck It Ralph world.
