He's very similar to Hero, as in he has a MP bar with spells. However, his spells are one reflect and 3 projectiles. (Firaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga, and Aeroga are the spells)
His MP bar wraps around his character portrait like in pic related.
There will be a direct in early September announcing KH: The Story So Far with a worldwide release for Switch. Re:Coded and 358/2 days are fully playabe, and 358 has a full online mode.

Wouldn't be surprised since the next KH game is gonna be on switch. They are probably gonna port the hd collections too.

KH1's UI is peak soul. KH1 also has the best MP system, yes Cure was overpowered but KH2/KH3's recharge system is anti-fun and made me not want to use magic (at least KH3 added non-item MP restoration like MP on block).

>His MP bar wraps around his character portrait That's his HP bar you complete mongoloid. Also, again, copyright. Sora needs an OK from both Square and motherfucking Disney. Hero got in despite Sugiyama boycotting it at every point because MUH ROYALTIES REEEE because Dragon Quest is literally the absolute biggest videogame in Japan. Kingdom Hearts is not big enough to warrant fighting the combined jew of Square and the mouse, and even if he was, the result wouldn't be what you wanted. No Donald, no Goofy, no nothing that could be even remotely traced back to Disney.

All magic was overpowered in 1.

It's a no from me.

KH3 Sora looks like a PS1 CGI. Square Enix can do better than that.

Some of the other games I know of off the top of my head are
>Rare Replay with DKL trilogy and DK64 (they couldn't get the DKC trilogy because they are in the SNES collection with the subscription.)
The way they introduce RR is very cute, a short clip of Banjo and Kazooie goes on screen and they say something along the lines of (Banjo) "It sure is nice to be home." (Kazooie) "But it sure is a lot smaller than I remember."
>Aforementioned SNES collection with Online Sub >Pikmin 3 deluxe >Bubble Bobble 4 friends >Tomb Raider 2013 port >Dark Souls 2 and 3 port >Cooking Mama Cookstar >More info on LM3, Town, Pokemon SwSh, various other games already known about, and a very, VERY brief update on BOTW 2 >Banjo WILL release early-mid September
Blake Powell
I don't know if I believe this but I wouldn't mind Sora getting in. There needs to be more Square reps that people actually recognize.
>but KH2/KH3's recharge system is anti-fun That's a weird way to say balanced
Because of the way MP works in KH1, Cure is basically free and you will never die On top of this, there's no real reason for Ethers or Potions to exist, because you can get Cures for free
Because Cure uses all remaining MP in KHII/III, that actually incentivizes using magic, because as long as you have 1MP left, you can still use a Cure if you need it

Just a side note for everyone in this thread, but Square doesn't actually hold ownership of Sora, which honestly gives him a better chance than another Squeenix character just but virtue of Squeenix being even more jewish than Disney at least when it's "non-core" disney characters, anyways, like almost anyone other than mickey
Tyler Russell
>being so mad about a game it impacts your enjoyment of previous games Nigga if you survived Days then KHIII really shouldn't fuck you up like this
I LIKED THE DREAM EATERS GODDAMN IT, I LIKE STUPID FUCKING PET SIM MINIGAMES AND I LIKE MONSTER CATCHING GAMES GHOSTABLOCKY AND THE KYROO LINE ARE MAXIMUM BRO TIER FUCK YOU It was the way the story was handled, not the gameplay. The gameplay was pretty alright.
This, Disney wouldn't allow Sora to get in without cramming Donald and Goofy in there somewhere to get free promotion. It's all up to Sakurai if he's willing to split hairs for them.
Kayden Myers
Don't fret user, I too don't hate DDD. It has its flaws but I would definitely play it any day over BBS Also I want a Meow Wow
In all honesty, I could see him doing it just to spite the Gokufags. If he WAS gonna add any mainstream media characters, it would 100% be characters everyone on Earth would know. It would be the ultimate "Never ask me for anything ever again" moment.
Brayden Robinson
>It was the way the story was handled As I said If you survived Days, then KHIII really shouldn't elicit such a reaction
Sebastian Diaz
Days was a spinoff that ultimately didn't fuck over much in the grand scheme of things. It was a whole lot of *fuck all* aside from the last couple of days where roxas flips his shit and leaves but ultimately it was just a spinoff and didn't matter much. KH3 wraps up every single plot point in the most unsatisfying way imaginable at the very end of a 40 hour game while also introducing about fifty fucking new ones and leaving a billion unanswered cliffhangers worse than all of the spinoffs combined.
Eli Smith

Eat shit. >Someone skipped the mobile game Ah, yes, the mobile game where Axel and Saix suddenly have a girl they want to rescue who was literally never mentioned before, where Luxord gives Sora a card that does nothing, where Sora suddenly gets bullshit timetravel powers that kill him, where Sora suddenly has a connection to a mobile game character out of nowhere strong enough for him to time travel bullshit his way in, and so on and so forth. Also, nigger, why in the FUCK are you defending a garbage mobage? >Nothing new for KH, not sure why that's got your goat this time It's new for the numbered titles. Fuck, this trend didn't even really start until about BBS. 1, 2, CoM (when you remember that it's a spinoff directly leading into a numbered title), and Days all wrap up just fine.
Noah James
The series has ALWAYS done that user.
>KH1: Blindfolded Riku and an unknown person fighting in a giant city with edgy heartless >CoM: Sora goes to sleep to save his memories and a new blonde characters is revealed >KH2: Sora and the gang gets a mysterious message in a bottle with mickeys insignia on it >BBS: Everyone fucking dies >358: Xion dies and everyone forgets she existed >Re:Coded: Sora has to save the Main Characters of BBS >DDD: Sora loses almost all of his power from being captured by the Organization, and Kairi is revealed as a Warrior of Light >3: Sora fades from this existence and wakes up in Shibuya. "Yozora" watches Riku on top of a mysterious building
The cliffhangers are just future proofing the series.
Jose Morris
>Blindfolded Riku and an unknown person fighting in a giant city with edgy heartless Secret ending only, which is an appropriate place for a next-game tease. >Sora goes to sleep to save his memories and a new blonde characters is revealed Spinoff title made while the next numbered title was still in development, plus Roxas only shows up in CoM after beating Riku's story. >Sora and the gang gets a mysterious message in a bottle with mickeys insignia on it Small ending teaser, the rest of the game wraps itself up perfectly. >Everyone fucking dies Nigger it's a prequel and a spinoff at that. >Xion dies and everyone forgets she existed Prequel, also a spinoff. >Sora has to save the Main Characters of BBS Spinoff. >Sora loses almost all of his power from being captured by the Organization, and Kairi is revealed as a Warrior of Light Spinoff. What you're not getting is that KH3 doesn't just do a small cliffhanger at the end like some of the others did, it's that KH3 has a whole fuckload of loose plot threads it spends more time on introducing than it spends on properly tying up all the OTHER billions of fucking loose plot threads from all the games before it. Nomura touted the game as the "end of the Xehanort Arc", so why does it feel like fucking nothing ended at all? I'm not expecting a concrete end to the series, I'm expecting a satisfying conclusion to the arc instead of rushed bullshit.
Mason Brooks

It's a fact that it's canon and also the foundation of the next saga, whether you like it or not. >It's new for the numbered titles Nigga what the fuck KH1 and KHII are so back-heavy on plot, are you kidding me After Destiny Islands, virtually nothing happens until Hollow Bastion. After Roxas, it's nothing until Hollow Bastion 2 and then more nothing until TWTNW This has been a trend since the very beginning, and is almost assuredly a result of Disney's autistic mandates preventing their characters from being worth anything in the story. And with Disney so heavily involved in KHIII, it's no surprise that this didn't change.
Kevin Garcia
>Sora literally doing nothing the entire game After DDD, Sora literally lost all of his strength. The beginning of the game points this out. He HAD to go through the Disney worlds so he could even stand a chance against the Org.

Cameron Thompson
>Nomura touted the game as the "end of the Xehanort Arc", so why does it feel like fucking nothing ended at all? All that means is Xehanort is defeated and is no longer the series main villain
Have you ever seen a shonen battle anime? Just because Villain 1 is defeated doesn't mean all the plot threads introduced during that arc have to be resolved.
Like how One Piece arcs are named after the major location it takes place in, all the "Xehanort" or "Dark Seeker" Saga signifies is the identity of the main villain. Doesn't really have much more meaning than that.
Jace White
This.
Take DBZ for example. Just because Frieza was killed, it doesn't mean the characters don't exist anymore. They're still gonna be there, they just have to continue with the story
Gavin Baker
>Yeah man you should be used to this structure at this point KH1 and even KH2 (to a lesser extent) Did not do it this poorly. Even then, this has been a mainstay complain about the series since KH2.

It's the last game of the Xehanort Arc, why are they focusing more on setting up the next arc than wrapping up the current one? >It was the power of waking, which was what he was trying to achieve for the entirety of DDD and KHIII Name one fucking point in the entirity of DDD and KH3 where it's stated that the PoW can be used for time travel until the very fucking moment Sora uses it for that. >Also it's not really time travel Timeline jumping is a form of timetravel you cunt. >It's a fact that it's canon and also the foundation of the next saga, whether you like it or not If the foundation for the next saga is already laid, then why is Nomura spending time STILL setting up the next plot instead of wrapping up the current one? >KH1 and KHII are so back-heavy on plot, are you kidding me If you believe for even one second they're as bad as KH3 in this regard, you're actually fucking braindead. >After Destiny Islands, virtually nothing happens until Hollow Bastion. In KH1, most of the game is spent setting up the relationships of the main characters since they had yet to be established. Multiple return visits to Traverse Town, Deep Jungle having some relationship exploration with the SDG Trio, Halloween Town explaining hearts a bit more, Monstro with a FUCKLOAD of Riku/Sora character development, even Atlantica does some worldbuilding with Triton telling Sora to fuck off. >After Roxas, it's nothing until HB2 and then more nothing until TWTNW This is true, but KH2 has a proper excuse for this (no active threat ntil HB2) and it's still not as bad as KH3.
Carson Hughes
>After DDD, Sora literally lost all of his strength. The beginning of the game points this out. He HAD to go through the Disney worlds so he could even stand a chance against the Org. This shit is absolutely meaningless since the main reason they had him searching the worlds was to recover the PoW before he could go to the RoD, which it then reveals he had the whole goddamn time. >Nomura already said Re:Mind would center around Xion Great. It's still not in the base game. >She has barely had any combat throughout the series. The only time she ever fought was in KH2 in TWTNW. Even with training she has no little to no experience Then why spend the whole game and plenty of prerelease time building her up as some big important thing only for hee to job fucking INSTANTLY? Same goes for Axel too, by the way. >So Xehanort can do it but not Sora? Xehanort's time travel bullshit had definite rules and limitations established in DDD. The time travel shit Sora does after The Final World makes no logistical sense what so fucking ever and is clearly not the same thing.
Julian Harris
I don't want Sora in Smash, what I would like is an official deal to get made to see Non-Disney worlds in Kingdom Hearts and I do NOT mean Square Enix. I mean stuff like say Kirby or Sly Cooper or Zelda, and of course you can't forget the icon of gaming Mario (especially because SE makes KH and if they made a Mario world you CAN see Geno again).
God am I SICK and TIRED of shitty Disney worlds. And don't argue with me, modern Disney is shit and I don't mean just their Star Wars and Live Action Shit. Their animated films are shit.
Sebastian Morris
>Just because it's recurring doesn't made it good. Because it's recurring, the extent of your outrage towards it in one particular game feels overblown. >It's the last game of the Xehanort Arc, why are they focusing more on setting up the next arc Because... the current arc is over? Like, the only thing they have to "wrap up" is defeating Xehanort, which doesn't take a lot of work to do. >Name on fucking point in the entirity of DDD and KH3 where it's stated that the PoW can be used for time travel Well, it's not time travel. >Timeline jumping It's not that either. The power of waking is the power to return hearts to their previous state. So when Sora and friends all got fucking killed, the power of waking manifested as returning them to a point before their deaths. Nomura specified in an interview that doing this REWOUND time, erasing the events leading up to their deaths. Not branching into a new timeline, but completely starting over on the same timeline. KH only has one timeline. >If you believe for even one second they're as bad as KH3 in this regard Oh, they aren't as bad. They're actually worse. KHIII features interstitial scenes of main plot in-between almost every world. Organization members appear in every world. So actually, the main plot is significantly more present across KHIII than KH1 or II could ever claim. In KH1, between Traverse Town and Hollow Bastion, only two worlds (Monstro and Neverland) feature main characters, and there are only a couple interstitials with Maleficent's cabal. There is a HUGE amount of dead air in terms of main plot. In KHII, the Disney worlds aren't even tangentially related to the main plot, with only Beast's Castle, Land of Dragons and Port Royal featuring main characters, and only for one of the two visits. I wouldn't even count Demyx appearing in Olympus because it's so brief and he does nothing. >Monstro with a FUCKLOAD of Riku/Sora development You are really exaggerating this
Bentley Ross
>Because it's recurring, the extent of your outrage towards it in one particular game feels overblown.

Not branching into a new timeline, but completely starting over on the same timeline. KH only has one timeline. Okay then you absolute faggot, then why did they visibly, directly react to Sora saving them? Why, after REACTING to Sora saving them, did they not attempt to stop the exact same shit from repeating 1:1 until LW showed up? Why did SORA not attempt to stop the exact same shit from happening until LW showed up, despite ALSO remembering what had happened? What did Sora do at ALL that triggered Ephemer to summon a thoused unwashed gacha whales unlike the first time? >KHIII features interstitial scenes of main plot in-between almost every world. Oh, such as? Such as Sora being reminded again that he can't do anything until he gets the PoW? Or Kairi/Axel's training that ultimately amounts to absolutely nothing? Or maybe the organization conversations that— for the most part— contribute jack fuck all to the plot of KH3 since most of them are just setting up for the next arc and are never made relevant within the actual context of KH3 outside of the two/three scenes with Ansem getting Roxas a body? I'm about to hit character limit and need a new post.

Elijah Scott
>In KH1, between Traverse Town and Hollow Bastion, only two worlds (Monstro and Neverland) feature main characters, First, that's dead fucking wrong. Kairi shows up all over the place in KH1 through Sora's hallucinations. Deep Jungle foreshadows HB through the slides. On top of this, DONALD AND GOOFY ARE MAIN CHARACTERS IN KH1. You may have forgotten since every other fucking game sidelines them, but in KH1 they're directly important and are the entire reason Sora actually leaves Traverse Town to begin with. They're also the reason why Riku's throwing a temper tantrum at Sora for half the game, to boot. I genuinely cannot think of one single world in KH1 outside of MAYBE Olympus which doesn't do one of the following: >take time to further establish KH's universe, which was needed since it was the first game in the series >develop the relationships between characters, whether it be SDG or SRK >directly advance the plot in some form or another >In KHII, the Disney worlds aren't even tangentially related to the main plot, with only Beast's Castle, Land of Dragons and Port Royal featuring main characters, and only for one of the two visits. While this is actually a major complaint I have with KH2, KH2 actually DOES go out of its way to justify this: Up until Hollow Bastion 2, there is no active threat. Sora spends the first half of the game searching through different worlds to find Riku, and that's it. Once HB2 happens, organization members appear in each world and Sora beats the shit out of them/some summoned monster as expected, and even then it's still minor, but at least there's SOME justification. Meanwhile, KH3 has Sora aimlessly fucking about in the same manner as KH2, without any of the same justifications being applicable since there's an active threat from square fucking one.
Logan Campbell
>Up until Hollow Bastion 2, there is no active threat. Nigger, the game starts out with Yen Sid telling Sora that the Organization is up to no good and need to be stopped They have a big dramatic entrance in Hollow Bastion 1 And then nothing for a looooooooooooooooooong time

How is Sora not SQEX property? He was an original charcater not related to disney. Only the settings and characters of Disney should belong to them. Not Nomura's.
Colton Foster
>Dude >How much effort do you think "beat the bad guy" takes? >"Until the end of the game?" >When fucking else do you beat the final boss, autismo? Here's a list of plot threads that KH3 could have spent the main story exploring instead of rushing them all into the final two hours after spending approximately 30-something hours letting Sora fuck around aimlessly. >Having Sora play a direct part in getting Roxas a body and getting him into it >Having Sora go to the realm of darkness earlier instead of getting deus ex machina'd to it right before the final boss gauntlet >Having Sora realize he had the PoW earlier and waking up Ventus >Having literally ANY of the Disney worlds contain some form of plot development >Having some explanation for how Xion came back at all And that's just off the top of my head. Fuck, if you wanted, you could even explore some of the Mobage shit by at least taking the time to explain why Ephemer's bitch ass showed up. >Nigger, the game starts out with Yen Sid telling Sora that the Organization is up to no good and need to be stopped youtu.be/TDpwriQ0RBA No, he states that they're looming, planning, and that Sora needs to be vigilant even though they don't know what the organization are up to. The Organization doesn't make a direct attack or move until HB2, which is also exactly when Sora starts going out of his way to stop their bullshit.
