I've only played the first three lol, but I've watched the story for all of them except 3D. My ranking for the story might be off for the games I've never played, especially BBS.

Story: KH, CoM, KH2, Days, BBS, Coded
Customization: KH2, KH1, CoM
Replayability: KH1, KH2, CoM
Characters: KH1, CoM, KH2
Music: KH2, KH1, CoM
Weapons: KH2, KH1, CoM
Favorites: KH1, KH2, CoM

If there's one area that they really need to hit a homerun with in KH3, it's the storyline. Adding multiplayer would take some focus away from that. Balancing multiplayer takes a ton of work as well. If it was to ever happen I think it should be a completely separate game.

Last 3 characters are Black Adam, Killer Frost and Ares (although Black Adam is the only one who has been officially confirmed).
This game is going to be godlike :) If anybody here is super interested you should check out testyourmight.com, it's the best place to go as far as info & discussion.

This reminds me of the scene between Roxas & Xemnas near the beginning of KH2. I doubt this scene will be voiced and it's probably better that way imo. It'll be nice to have a translation of what he's saying though.

I think when you start playing strategically you find more spots where magic comes in handy. That's how it was for me anyway.

In future games I'd like to see magic designed more for utility rather than damage. Blizzard temporarily stuns or slows the enemy's movement, fire could be a gtfo me attack (like in kh2), thunder works as a launcher to start or extend combos, etc. The possibilities are endless. The developers had the right idea in previous games but imho they need to make the utility much greater & the damage much lower. Ultimately this could be a great way to make the game less of a button masher.

(I can't comment on magic in any portable games though because I haven't played them).

Yep and in a sense a lot of people will be buying it soon (Days in the HD Remix). Other than lacking the fancy graphics and a new plotline like Advent Children, I'd say it definitely counts as a movie.

I don't think I ever noticed the capes until now lol.

Yeah I hope future games in the series feel like KH2. It was just really smooth and the movement was fluid. The biggest thing I think needs to be improved is the combat...I'd suggest make attacking more complex than just mashing a button, incorporate magic to where it's necessary during fights but not overpowered, make countering enemy attacks more crucial, make Donald & Goofy more cooperative, and make the player have much faster reactions at high difficulty levels (proud/critical).

But for a simple HD Remix I wouldn't expect any major changes. Maybe some small things could be tweaked though. I'd like to see longer recovery after using reflect, damage tweaks on some attacks, etc.

Good points. Multiplayer is a whole nother beast.
IMHO if they did multiplayer & the regular RPG in one game, either one or both would fall short. Multiplayer has to have balance at least to the degree where it's playable for casual gamers. Also what kind of multiplayer are we talking about? Fighting game, MMO, Co-op...would playing online be an option? I've never seen a fighting game that's designed like Kindgom Hearts, but it's an interesting idea :p

For the multiplayer aspect to be successful it should be a completely separate title. Co-op is the only way I could possibly see them working together. But even then I feel like it would take time away from making the storyline & basic gameplay feel perfect.

I'd say getting all the trophies will be pretty difficult since there's so much extra stuff that can be done in kh1. On a sort of related note though, I wonder if critical mode will be added to the game now. It would pretty awesome if that happens :)

I had never heard of this yaoi stuff until just now...it sounds kind of creepy though (no offense lol).
Can't believe Sora/Roxas didn't even make the top 20. That one is huge imo, it would definitely be in my top 5.

This might actually be right lol. The title would've been a lot clearer if it had been written as 358 Days/2.

This is almost as good as hearing a localization announcement :)
Either way I'll officially be buying this now (especially if the Days cutscenes will feature English voice actors).

I could be Axxel or Laexx, but Exlax is a close runner up.

I'm a fighting game player at heart, so I kind of look at magic as the meter system of Kingdom Hearts.
It was really good that cure consumed the whole bar imo. If you want to use something that powerful you should have to pay more for it. You could also use it strategically by spending most of your magic first and then using Cure or a limit when you're almost out. I improved a lot in this game once I tried using magic more often.
Reflect was definitely overpowered though...it would have worked a lot better if they just gave you a longer recovery time after it.

I haven't played BBS or 3D so I can't really comment on whatever the new system is.

In case anybody's interested I updated the first post based on the lastest version of the game. It's way less laggy now which helps a ton :)

I don't think a simple plot is necessarily less interesting. All of the classic Disney stories have simple plots for example, but that doesn't make them less meaningful or enjoyable.

I like this. The connections that characters have to each other definitely add depth to the story imo, but at the same time it can make things feel very jumbled up. I feel like you should be able to piece together all the important ideas of the story just by reflecting on it, rather than needing to look it up on a wiki or even read through the Ansem reports.
I think it all rests on the writers' shoulders now to bring the plotlines together so that people can more easily appreciate the connections that make these characters so dynamic.
