My apologies. In that case, I personally would recommend going back to Twilight Town and fight as many Nobodies as you can.
Umm, Pride Lands was never removed... If you've skipped it, then make sure you finish it (both parts). That should level you up a bit.
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good one!
Nomura has hinted at their return. If they are to return, I would like if most of them were new, with a few returning ones.
Spoiler ~German Wilderness~ "I see... I'll be back in a minute," Shay told Quan Chi as he entered one of the tents set up in order to contact one of his superiors regarding this matter. Meanwhile, the soup Starlight Glimmer was preparing was done, with Attila pouring some of it to a bowl, and walking over to Quan Chi, handing him the bowl while asking, "Want some?" --------------------------------------------------- ~Darien Chiba's Apartment~ Taking a long look at the Silver Crystal, Darien wondered why Fury even gave it to him in the first place, worrying that it could get them both in trouble with the J.I.A. Sighing, Chiba said, "That's it, I'm taking this back to the warehouse first thing in the morning." Closing the box that contained the crystal, Darien yawned, saying, "Man, it's been a long day... I need some rest." ------------------------------------------------- ~Streets of Lumiose City, Kalos Region, France~ Spoiler: BGM As Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy were taking a stroll through the streets of Lumiose City, Kermit said, "Piggy... last time we were together, I said some things I regret." "No, no, Kermit," Miss Piggy replied, "You were just being honest. You never intended to marry me. Not even after I built us a beautiful house in Tokyo where we could raise tadpoles and grow old together." "Well, who do you think's been looking after that house all these years, huh?" Kermit asked, "Piggy, why do you have to always be so overdramatic about things? You know, it leaves me no choice but to do things that hurt you." "I am who I am," Miss Piggy replied, "Why can't you accept that about me?" "Look, this is not about you and me," Kermit answered. "It's never about you and me, is it?" Miss Piggy retorted, "It's always we. We this, we that. 'We' need you. You can't even say, 'I need you,' can you?" "Piggy..." Kermit said, wondering where he went wrong with Miss Piggy all these years. Sighing, Miss Piggy told Kermit, "Alright Kermit, I'll do the show. Not for you, but for the others. And when the show's done, I'm catching the next plane back to my life here in Lumiose City." "Okay, Piggy..." Kermit replied as Miss Piggy walked away, feeling sad that she will only stick around for the show on Friday. ------------------------------------------------------ ~Room in Second Floor of Restaurant in Tokyo's Chinatown~ Following the hostess to a room filled with men who looked like they were ready to hurt someone, Carter commented, "This is tight. Ain't nothing like downstairs." The hostess then exited the room. with Carter noticing the men gathering around him. "What's up, man? Where Shan-Yu at?" Carter asked. None of the men replied, as they were simply staring at him menacingly. "Why y'all so quiet?" Carter asked, with one of the men kicking the officer hard in his chest, causing him to fall to the floor. Two men then grabbed the hurt officer, forcing him to stand up, with Carter looking at the man who kicked him with a nasty look, saying, "That was childish, man. That wasn't even called for!" Looking at the other men around him, Carter continued, "Now I came down here to see Shan-Yu... 'cause he told me to come down here..." And the conversation continued like this: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ------------------------------------------------------ ~Outside Room in Second Floor of Restaurant in Tokyo's Chinatown~ Outside the room where Carter was, Inspector Lee was sneaking around, trying to figure out a way in. Noticing a waiter walking by, Lee called out to him in Chinese. As the waiter walked towards him, Lee quietly knocked him out, intending to use his uniform to get in. --------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Sokovia - Outside Police Station in a Village Close to Border with Germany~ Accompanied by Sokovian police officers, Aveline and Sgt. Keith Shadis (who was in a wheelchair due to his injury), were waiting for a J.I.A. transport to arrive and take them to a secure location. The people in the village were very hospitable, quickly taking care of the two Japanese soldiers when they arrived. Aveline was truly thankful for what they did, and so was Shadis (even though he didn't show it). Just then, a J.I.A. Quinjet arrived, landing gently at the street close to the police station. The back of the jet then opened, with J.I.A. agent Baron von Strucker stepping out, noticing Shadis and Aveline... "So you're the survivors," Strucker greeted the two soldiers, "Japan is proud to have strong soldiers like yourselves." Giving them a salute, Shadis and Aveline returned the favor, saluting him back. One of the police officers then moved Shadis's wheelchair towards the Quinjet while accompanied by Strucker. "Thank you very much," Aveline thanked the police officers, who smiled back in return as she joined Shadis and Strucker, entering the Quinjet. ----------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tokyo University Arena - Line for Powerline/Daft Punk Concert~ While waiting in line, Brock notices Misty passing by others to get to him... "Hey Brock, thanks for saving me a spot," Misty thanked Brock. "No problem, Misty," Brock replied, "Any minute now the doors will open and we'll finally go inside." -------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tokyo University Arena - Line for Powerline/Daft Punk Concert (Again)~ As Ed and Eddy were waiting in line, they notice a pink limo dropping off Mario and his friends. "Even Mario's gonna check this concert out," Eddy commented, "I tell ya Ed, Double D's really missing out right now." Just then, the doors to the arena opened, with people beginning to enter with their tickets. "Finally," Eddy said, "Hey, Ed, where the tickets?" "I put them somewhere safe just like you said Eddy," Ed replied, "Right inside my tummy." "YOU ATE THEM!!!???" Eddy yelled as he grabbed Ed's jaws, opening them wide enough for him to enter inside. Walking inside Ed, Eddy began looking through the things in Ed's stomach, throwing them out of Ed's mouth as he tried looking for the tickets. "No, no, no, no..." Eddy said, throwing out a box of 'Chunky Puffs' cereal, a dishwasher, a plunger, and a PS3. "So that's where it was," Ed commented as he noticed the PS3 that was in his stomach, picking it up. "Found them!" Eddy cried as he climbed out of the inside of Ed, with two tickets in his hand, "That was a close one." Ed and Eddy then began following the others that were entering the arena. ----------------------------------------------------------- ~Roof of Tokyo University's Psychology Building~ Having followed Mario and his group all the way to Tokyo University, Goldar watched as Mario and the others joined a bunch of other people waiting to enter the Tokyo University Arena for the Powerline and Daft Punk concert. 'This is getting boring...' Goldar thought to himself. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Tokyo Police Department HQ: Interrogation Room~ "It's actually no secret what caused her to run away that day," Matt replied, "It was all over the news. After the signing of the free trade agreement between Norway, Arendelle, and Japan, there appeared to have been some disagreement between Elsa and her sister Anna over her getting engaged to Prince Hans of Norway. I don't believe there was even a Duke of Weaseltown as you mention present during the signing. But... that is none of our concern, and is something that should be resolved between them privately." "Oshawott..." Foggy said after Harold mentioned payments, grinning as Yen symbols appeared on his eyes. "Anyway, I'm glad you and I can work together," Murdock told Harold, "Just give me a minute, I'll be right back. Come on, Fog." "Osha!" Foggy replied as he got up on Matt's shoulder as he stood up, and exited the room while carrying his cane. A few minutes later, Matt and Foggy return, this time, with Officer Jenny... Walking towards Harold, Jenny uncuffs him, saying, "Good news Mr. Flamel. For the next two days, you're out on bail. But you're not free just yet. You still have to attend your trial on Friday, where the court will then decide whether you should be imprisoned or free." "Got a place to stay?" Matt asked Harold, "If not, I've got a place over at the Hell's Kitchen district of Tokyo. Just a five minute walk from here. Don't worry, Foggy and I don't mind guests, right Foggy?" "Oshawott," Foggy replied, nodding in agreement with Matt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following segments have been written by me on @NutheadBros 's behalf ~Tokyo Streets~ Stepping out of a Polish bakery, Woolie was carrying half a dozen pies for him and his friends, commenting, "Sweet! Who knew they had Polish bakeries in Japan too?! Japan sure is paradise..." "Not if you stole them!" Matt retorted. "The f***, man?!" Woolie cried, "I legally bought them with my own money!" "Suuuuure you did," Matt replied, "And I'm sure the cashier is alive and well and not dead because you killed him... or her. Orrrr... maybe you stole the pies AND killed the cashier!" "Seriously Matt? You're making a scene right now," Woolie told Matt, "You don't believe me, then go inside and ask the cashier yourself. He'll tell you that I paid for these pies." "Yeah right, everyone on the internet knows you're a LIAR," Pat explained to Woolie. Liam just looked over at Woolie, commenting, "You know they're outnumbering you, and they do characterize you as a liar." Just then, Matt notices Morrigan walking by him and his friends, instantly attracted to her physical appearance. "Guys... I think I'm gonna ask that hot chick out," Matt said as he started walking over to Morrigan, only for Crash Bandicoot to fall on him from the sky (after what happened with him and the Ginyus earlier in the day). "Dammit!" Matt yelled, getting up after Crash landed on him, "You just caused me to fail!" Looking at him, Crash simply shrugged, only to be grabbed by Matt, and kicked into the street. "F*** YOU!" Matt yelled at Crash as he and the others started walking away. ---------------------------------------------------- ~Flashback: Jumpman Family Origins [Part 4] [March 1982] The Destiny of Jumpman, Ruiji and Fujiko~ Arriving at the courtyard, Jumpman, Ruiji, and Fujiko found Astral alone, staring at the night sky. "And there she goes," Astral commented, "Oh, and what's this... Palkia just closed the path... interesting... that marks the first time since right before the Red Skull's death that the two dimensions had their paths sealed off." "What are you blabbering about?" Jumpman yelled at the S-type. Turning around, Astral noticed the three facing him. "None of your concern," Astral replied, "Once I'm done with you three, I, Astral Praenunitus, will personally take care of the Relic." Rushing towards the three, Ruiji yelled, "Split up!" Fujiko, Ruiji, and Jumpman each then got out of the way of Astral's attack, with Fujiko yelling, "Okay Jumpman, just like your dad taught us!" Nodding, Jumpman and Fujiko both rushed towards Astral, with both delivering a mighty punch towards the S-type, with Ruiji running towards Astral and delivering a devastating kick. Backing away, Astral didn't expect the three to put up a fight, but was rather impressed. "Well, this certainly is a challenge," Astral commented, "But no more playing around. Time to-" Before Astral could finish its sentence, it was hit hard in the back by a shovel by Galuf... "What was that?" the Modern History instructor asked the S-type he attacked. "Grr, who do you think you are?" Astral angrily asked. "I'm Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen, what's it to ya?" Galuf replied, grinning. "Oh you think this is funny? Well you won't be laughing soon," Astral said as it jumped high, getting away from the area as it jumped between buildings. Looking at Jumpman, Ruiji, and Fujiko, Galuf sighed, saying, "You know kid, one of these days, you're gonna be the death of me." "Oh don't say that Mr. Galuf," Jumpman replied. "Was that an S-type?" Ruiji asked. "Yup... just like the ones we at Nintendo High fight every year," Galuf answered, "And by the tone of its voice... I'd say we should be facing off against them within about a week's time." "Well, I'm sure we'll be ready for them," Jumpman said. "But first thing's first... you guys need your rest. Go home, nothing to see here anymore," Galuf replied. "Alright, mister," Fujiko said as she, Jumpman, and Ruiji started walking away. "Oh, and Jumpman, this doesn't change anything. Your report on the Cuban Missile Crisis is still due on Monday," Galuf told Jumpman. "Understood, sir," Jumpman replied. --------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Kai's House~ After battling one another for minutes, C.C. and Vader simply stared at one another, both breathing heavily, with neither saying a word. Shaking his head, Vader felt he was wasting his time, and walked away, while C.C. yelled, "Coward!" Once Darth Vader was no longer in sight, C.C. said to herself, "Huh... guess fear really does lead to suffering." Entering back inside, she found Espio with the pizzas, placing them on a table. Grabbing cash from her pocket, C.C. handed the money to Espio, telling him, "Here. Keep the change you filthy animal." "Uhhh, thnaks..." Espio replied as he headed to the door and exited, not sure what to make of what had happened. ------------------------------------------------------------ ~Kai's House~ Once she was punched, Kai fell to the floor, and began to cry, shocking Kairi. "Kai! You okay?" Kairi asked Kai. "I-It's okay..." Kai replied as she slowly got back up, sniffling, "Sammy, you did absolutely great. Welcome to the Rising Tide!" "Not bad, not bad at all," Kallen commented, clapping for Sammy's initiation. Smiling at Sammy, Kairi told her, "See, just do whatever Kai tells you to do, and you'll be fine." "Anyway, congratulations Sammy, but I think you need to go home now. It's getting late," Kai said as she knocked on a wall inside the closet three times, causing it to open up a passgae leading to a dark vault. "Follow me," Kai ordered the others, who followed her into the dark vault. Clapping twice, the vault lit up. "I'd like to go over the stuff I have in this vault, Sammy, but maybe some other day," Kai said, "Just head out that door, and you'll be back outside. If you need anything, just let any of us know." "Yup, you can reach me anytime 24/7. Even if I'm asleep," Kallen commented. ------------------------------------------------------------ ~Outside Tokyo University Arena - Line for Powerline/Daft Punk Concert (Again x2)~ Exiting from a pink limo, Mario, Luigi, Rosalina, Peach, Bowser, Kirby, Neptune, Yoshi, Sonic, Megaman, Compa, IF, Bomberman, Noire, Nepgear, Uni, Ram, Rom, Tails, Knuckles, Rayman, Kuro, Belle, Shiro, and Pururut all looked at the large building known as the Tokyo University Arena. "Here we are!" Kirby happily said. The group then noticed Eddy going inside Ed, trying to look for his tickets. "Wow..." Mario said as he watched. "You said it, bro," Luigi concurred, not able to take his eyes off of the scene. Sonic silently stared, taking out his phone, and taking pictures of what Ed and Eddy were doing. Kuro, Belle, Shiro, and Pururut felt sick at watching, turning their heads away so they wouldn't feel sick to the point of vomiting. "Well, that's not something you see everyday," Rayman commented, with Tails and Knuckles nodding in reply. Once Ed and Eddy were gone, the group walked over to the things left over from Ed's stomach. "Chunky Puffs!" Nepgear, Uni, Ram, and Ram happily cried, rushing to the box of cereal. "Girls don't even touch it!" Peach ordered the four, "It's nasty!" Walking over to the dishwasher, Megaman put his hand over it, thinking about how it was in the belly of Ed. "Some things I will just never understand," Megaman commented. "Couldn't agree more," Bomberman added. Grabbing, the plunger, Bowser placed it on his head, asking Rosalina, "Hey, how do I look?" "Like an idiot," Rosalina replied, with Bowser pouting his face in reply as he removed the plunger from his head. "Okay guys, this has certainly been interesting, but let's not forget that the doors are open!" Neptune told the others, "Let's go!" "Yeah!" everyone else replied. As they were heading to the entrance, IF was logging in to her Facebook account to update her status about going to the concert. But as she opened Facebook, she noticed she had a message in her inbox. Opening it, she noticed it was from Finnick Surge, who mentioned that he was from the Vermilion City Gym, and that he was the one she talked to when she called the gym days ago, promising to answer any question she had if she can meet him Friday. "What is it?" Compa asked IF, noticing her fixated on her phone. "Oh, uh, nothing," IF replied. 'So... this guy could give me an answer about my birthmark? Okay Mr. Surge, I'll give you a chance,' IF thought to herself as she replied to Finnick, saying that she can meet him on Friday.
New Season 3 poster (pretty much confirming a 'Secret Warriors' storyline): And a synopsis from Variety: Spoiler Season three of “SHIELD” will introduce new friends and foes based on the “Secret Warriors” comic series when it premieres on Sept. 29. In the aftermath of SHIELD’s battle with Jiaying and the Inhumans, Director Coulson (Clark Gregg) will search the world for more powered people and assemble an extraordinary new team to deal with threats unlike the world has ever seen. However, the Agents of SHIELD will soon find out they’re not the only ones tracking down these new Inhumans. Source
I will say that out of the worlds I listed that I don't think will appear in KH3, The Emperor's New Groove does have a better chance than the others of actually appearing, because despite its performance, the movie still managed to get a sequel AND a show. If that doesn't show Disney seeing something in the movie, I don't know what does. However, I'm not getting my hopes up in order to avoid disappointment. But should it be confirmed for KH3, then I would be so happy to have been proven wrong, because Emperor is a world I would absolutely love to have in Kingdom Hearts.
I was actually thinking about this, and I think either the haircut will happen with a scene shown in the credits (kinda like how the KH1, KH2, and BBS credits showed what happened with the Disney characters in the game), or they may rewrite the scenario to where the haircut won't happen.
The Famitsu interview with Kingdom Hearts series director, Tetsuya Nomura, which was mentioned recently, has been fully translated courtesy of KHInsider's Zephyr. The interview can be read below, where Nomura mentions working with Disney creators, evolving elements from KH2 and KH3D for use in Kingdom Hearts III, and hinting of a secret movie being included:
Honestly, I don't mind it. Anything that isn't his KH1 outfit is fine in my book. Ranking would be: KH2=KH3D=KH3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KH1 Yeah, I really hate his KH1 outfit.
Did you get to touch his eyebrows?
What he actually said was that they can't comment on what would and wouldn't be in the game. He never said it wouldn't be in the game. The closest he was to saying a property wouldn't be in the game was regarding Star Wars, saying how trying to get the rights to it were complicated.[DOUBLEPOST=1435101416][/DOUBLEPOST]And since we're doing speculation, I think I'll list some worlds I believe won't be in KH3: -Star Wars The storyline spans decades of events happening across so many different worlds (and is still expanding). And as mentioned, getting rights to use the property in Kingdom Hearts is a bit complicated. At best, MAYBE a secret boss, summon, weapon, or easter egg, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. -Marvel The characters have gone through so many iterations over the years. Even if they decided to stick to one iteration (ex. the MCU), like Star Wars, it's still too big to fit into just one world. And just like Star Wars, getting rights to them could be complicated, so best case scenario... secret boss, summon, weapon, or easter egg. And again, I wouldn't get my hopes up. -Atlantica Was voted as least favorite world by fans in a survey (with Nomura agreeing). Now while the world won't appear, this doesn't rule out characters from it appearing in the game (ex. Ursula in KH3D). -Deep Jungle Legal reasons have prevented the use of the Tarzan world beyond KH1. Don't expect it to return anytime soon (especially with Nomura having tried to include a Jungle Book world for so long). -Atlantis: The Lost Empire The 2000s have generally been a dark time for Disney Animation Studious (mostly the first half). The Disney Renaissance had come to an end. Less people were going to the theaters to watch traditionally animated movies. Atlantis was one of the movies negatively affected by this. With a budget of $120 million dollar, the movie only made $186.1 million dollars. Movies typically need to make at the minimum twice as much as the budget in order to be considered a success. So while I wouldn't call Atlantis a box office bomb, it wasn't exactly a success either. While it is true that properties included in the series weren't initially successes (ex. Fantasia, Pinocchio), the difference is that as they aged, they became popular, achieving "classic" status. 14 years isn't enough time to make Atlantis popular, because outside online forums, I don't see Atlantis on the same level of popularity as more recognizable Disney properties. -The Emperor's New Groove Same reason as Atlantis (and writing this hurts me because I really really love The Emperor's New Groove). Budget of $100 million, the movie made $169.3 million. And just like Atlantis, not a bomb, but not really a success either. Needs more time before it reaches "recognizable Disney property" status. -Treasure Planet Ah, Treasure Planet... the one movie people request that makes me shake my head. Sure, Atlantis and Emperor weren't successes, but at least they weren't bombs. Treasure Planet, however, with a budget of $140 million (not including marketing costs), only made $109.6 million, and was hence, a bomb. In fact, Disney was so disappointed with its performance, it cancelled a sequel for the movie, while Atlantis and Emperor, despite their performance, at least got direct-to-DVD sequels (and a show in Emperor's case). Out of all the movies released by Disney Animation Studious in the 2000s, Treasure Planet is the one that needs the longest amount of time to achieve "recognizable Disney property" status. So, I wouldn't expect it appearing in the series until Kingdom Hearts 6 (and that's being generous).
That there is what's keeping me from sending a very angry letter to Nomura being too bummed about it. If they can do to Olympus Coliseum what they did to Traverse Town in KH3D, I'll not mind it too much.
Honestly, whenever I see that flag, I feel a sense of uneasiness inside me. To me, that flag reminds me of everything I found wrong with the arguments the South made for seceding from the Union more than a century ago. I actually am shocked to see that people still proudly display them to this day. On the other hand, as much as I hate to admit it, people do have the right to display them if they want. As cliched as it sounds, rights like these were what the United States were founded on. But if we're talking about places such as government buildings, then I think that flag has no place there.
Tom Holland confirmed as MCU Spider-Man, with the solo movie to be directed by indie director Jon Watts. About time they made the announcement. Source
So was almost every other Disney movie included in the series. I really don't see them repeating KH2 Atlantica again.
That... is actually not a bad idea at all. Even summons from those properties would sound pretty cool.
Please, pleeeease don't make what ever other returning world or two be Agrabah or Wonderland. I'm still a bit disappointed that Olympus will return for the millionth time already...
My thoughts are basically this: the guy is a sick freak. Reading through it it's clear he has a phobia of different kinds of people (Blacks, Hispanics, Jews... I'm actually really surprised he didn't mention my people). He actually thinks being a patriotic American means only protecting White people. Really? What ever happened to "All men are created equal?" As far as I'm concerned, given the horrific thing he did, I'd label him a terrorist.
Adding the growing list of E3 interviews with Kingdom Hearts series director, Tetsuya Nomura, 4Gamer have conducted their own interview (which can be read below), where Nomura discusses KH3's gameplay, load times, and AI, along with a snippet on Unchained X[chi]: Credit to goldpanner for the translated interview.
