well, folks, we're almost there.

Time to dust off the cobwebs and shake the ol' place around, I'd wager.

So, in the spirit of kicking off conversation, a question:


What are you most hoping for from Kingdom Hearts 3? Big or small, doesn't matter, as long as you really would like it.

For me?

In all honesty, I feel like the trailer glimpses have actually given me more or less what I'd want -- Vanitas is running around, the last trailer suggests something may happen with Terra/Lingering Will, and most important of all, looks like my stubbornness for a decade-plus over Riku II/Riku Replica bore fruit. (muahahahaha.)

Whatever else comes out of KH3, and I expect to be both likely entertained and probably ranting because I'm ornery like that, I've got what I came for.

that bloody box will still be the death of me, though.

Something closer to KH1 than KH2, as far as gameplay goes. Or at least being able to wander ALL OVER compared to how narrow areas were in KH2.

I'm trying to temper my expectations and let myself be taken along for Mr. Nomura's Wild Ride as it were, because the one thing I really want probably won't come to fruition, which is a redemption arc for Vanitas, or to see him fight alongside the heroes ;0;

Man, I'm so hyped for this game in general. Lingering Will! Xion's on the box art at least so she's probably in the game! Riku Replica! Ienzo!

I'm really hoping we get to Save All My Children, including my awful son who's older than me (Even). I'm very stressed that it looks like he may have been Norted - I just want Apprentices redemption stuff! mutter mutter gonna have to write it myself mutter

Also, PLAYABLE KAIRI OR WE RIOT.

Riku. I just want Riku. In my party. For the entire game. Hoping to see Riku in the next scene was my main motivation the first time I played KH1.

Things I already got that were better than I even hoped for:
• The gummi ship minigame -- my favorite minigame and the previews look amazing.
• Twilight Town gang. Xion on the cover (meaning hopefully in the game??). Ienzo as a support character.
• Isa/Lea closure?? Maybe??

Things I'm still hoping for:
• Saving everybody. Saving Aqua looks like it's going to happen, but Ven and Terra and Xion and all the Norted Org XIII people? I hope!
• Dilan and Aeleus -- they haven't appeared Norted, so I'm guessing they're on the good guys' side this time but probably just cameo/minor roles.
• Not sure if I should hope at this point, but like... Final Fantasy characters? Where are they?? I'd still play and enjoy a KH without any FF characters, but it'd feel weird for Cloud and Leon and the rest to be written out of KH3 given they played such a big role in the earlier games. Will that happen??
• I'm hoping for Radiant Garden support characters in general aside from the FF ones -- the fairies, Merlin, etc.

Not sure if I'm really hoping for any shakeups on this front, but if there's something I'm most meh about KH3 right now, it's the worlds. I can see why they're going for Disney/Pixar's recent CG movies (because all the character models are, like, right there) but I've not been super into any of them. Even reprises of old worlds other than Hercules (e.g. Tron, Aladdin, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc.) would be a step up from what's been announced so far.

But I think Dream Drop Distance spoiled me -- that game had such a perfect collection of my favorite Disney movies (Pinocchio, Hunchback of Notre Dame, FANTASIA, even Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers, which I have on DVD and was like "WTF? Other people have actually seen this film??"). I don't think any Kingdom Hearts game will blow me away with such a concentrated collection of faves.

For it to be released, for one.
