Seeing as Kingdom Hearts' IP is owned by Disney however, I find such radical change highly unlikely to be possible. Square Enix can't take Kingdom Hearts in a different direction from Disney because it belongs to Disney :monster:

So yeah, the Square-Enix writers trying to take the series in a Versus XIII direction is going to run straight up against the will and desires of Disney. I don't see Square winning that fight.

Is it? I knew Sora himself was owned by Disney, but I didn't know the whole series was. Yeah, that's definitely a problem then. Maybe it'll be "Verum Rex: featuring Sora from the Kingdom Hearts™ series" rather than a proper installment in the kingdom hearts series.

Are y'all high on mako or something

I mean Nomura acknowledges the obvious VsXIII references but says the story of Yozora is very much not gonna be that. What exactly is he denying that isn't obvious?

Nomura: You wouldn’t be the first to think so, right now there’s a lot of speculation about that because of the clear resemblance to what was shown of “VERSUS.” However, the two are actually very different and I think where Yozora’s story will lead will be unexpected. So, why did “VERUM REX” appear in KHIII? None of this makes sense, but I hope to clear it all up as soon as possible.

Also I swear with every secret ending to a main KH game people have theorized the series is gonna go into a darker and less Disney-focused direction but in the end you'll just get more jolly Disney multiverse adventures

It's not even that I want KH to get dark, Sora is not the protagonist for that sort of thing. I just really feel like the Disney world formula is holding the stories back at this point. It's clear Disney doesn't want Nomura's final fantasy nonsense injected into their movies' stories, so the plot keeps getting shoved into the back end of the games more and more. This issue was already apparent by KH2 15 years ago, but 3 was where it was made undeniable. It feels like the KH series is having an existential crisis when I'm playing 3.

I think it's more the fact the Disney world and story inclusion within the overall KH plot, is getting progressively hollower and less well written. Frozen was particularly egregious. Disney is clearly strangle-holding the use of their IPs, particularly popular and recent ones. Frozen was doomed before it even began.

Getting to Arendelle and *not* having Elsa as a party member was like...come on dude

why the hell do you think I was looking forward to this world, Disney pls

Meanwhile Pixar seem to be the opposite and insist that KH does original stories with their IPs rather than retellings, even implying that the Toy Box stuff could've totally happened between Toy Story 2 and 3.

I wonder why big hero 6 was the exception on the Disney end. That world was more like toy story and monsters inc, by having an original story that sora was heavily involved in. Guess Disney doesn't care about BH6 as much.

It's more like they communicated and collaborated with each individual team that worked on these movies and they all had different requests/requirements etc

Not to make a complaint or anything, but how is it that Final Fantasy VII Remake gets it's Soundtrack to be listened to including the cutscenes, and yet two years on Kingdom Hearts 3(including ReMind) still doesn't have all of it's soundtrack except for fields and battle themes and Square Enix still said nothing about releasing a CD soundtrack for it?

Is it due to legal issues with Disney or they just decided not to bother releasing Kingdom Hearts soundtrack anymore and just focus on Final Fantasy?

Huh. Wonder why they've stopped putting all game tracks onto CDs now? Legal issues maybe?

There still isn't a release date for Dark Road, but from today they will be doing back to back reveals, starting with characters.

Though is says you can tweet as much as you want until the 30th, so I guess release is around then.

The save editor for KHIII has been updated for RE:Mind, turns out that some maps don't force you to play as Sora, but not using him can cause lighting and sound issues:

It also supports FFVIIR, there's a video of Red XIII playable.

Melody of Memory? Hmm....Either this was one of the worked on titles of Dark Road or it's another upcoming KH Spin off before KH4. Given how Nomura never keeps anything well organized, it could be the latter since he never keeps to his promises that much either when it comes to directing games.

But I'm gonna go with the former for the time being until we know further information. The Melody of Memory title though is kinda pretty. I like it.

Xehanort's Master has been revealed, Master Odin:
https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomHearts/comments/ha2f6v From the comments:
A neat aspect to Master Odin is:
Odin gave up an eye to see all: Past, Present, and Future.
This might mean that Master Odin wields No Name, as the Gazing Eye has done, is doing, will do just that!

Also, someone pointed out something very interesting on Reddit regarding the logos, if Sora is playable the K in Kingdom and S in Hearts are short, but if they are long, that means Sora isn't playable. Compare BBS and 358 with KHI and KHII to see for yourselves.

Or even look at the Dark Road logo and KHI.5 and 2.5 logos a few posts up.

Master Odin...
Could he be the Master of Masters reincarnated like Luxu had done only with Braig/Xigbar? Now I really need to know! Also, I'm more interested in Vox, but guess we'll wait and see.

Kingdom Hearts 2020 trailer confirms we're finally getting the KH3 soundtrack this year...although it doesn't say when exactly :@

FINALLY! It's about time! Guess there was some issues since there was more than just Yoko composing the game's music this time, but hey, whether we get it late this year or early next year, at least it's finally confirmed after almost two years of waiting.

Looks like we're getting a Kairi based game this year. Finally getting to see how she left Radiant Garden, Xehanort sent her off in one of those pods...

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1272913913370177536

I thought that Melody of memory and the Kairi game were separate things...they aren't. I bet you play with SDG, then get Kairi cutscenes.
Click to expand...

Nah, I bet we'll play as either Riku, or
[SPOILER(ReMind Spoiler)] Roxas and Xion due to what Riku said in ReMind. Or maybe even Data Sora like in Re:Coded. So the Data Sora in Radiant Garden could've been hinting Data Sora's return and we return to the Datascape, considering how Re:Coded played an important role regards to Terra, Ventus, Aqua, Roxas, Xion, Axel and Namine, and how Union X's going with Ven's pastself and the others currently stuck until further updates. I'd say that we're not done with the Datascape quite yet
. It'd be cool to actually play as Kairi...but at the moment, but that's a wishful thinking.

Either way, I'm looking forward to Melody of Memory, but I don't think we'll get it this year. Next year is my best guess.

I think I've figured out the meaning of both the ending of Limit Episode and the entire plot of the Secret Episode of ReMind, combined with what we've seen in the trailer of Melody of Memory.

Based on how Yen Sid states, through the Fairy Godmother, that the connection in finding Sora through the dreams of Riku, Kairi and the third person with the Final World being shown, then we see Yozora battling Sora before vanishing and then waking up in a car in his world, and then we see Kairi in the Final World of the Trailer, I think that the third person connected in saving Sora is not the Nameless Star girl, but Yozora himself and that Kairi may have requested him to save Sora, hence to why Yozora said that he was asked to save Sora.

To me, this makes a bit of a perfect sense.
