With the inclusion of FF9 characters in Kingdom Hearts 2, I think they have paved the way for other non-Nomura series to be added. I'd love to see them start delving into the various non-FF RPGs from the Square/Enix library. Nomura did claim there would be some surprises in the additions for the next game. If the Disney franchises aren't cutting it for new worlds, I could seriously see some great worlds being created from games like Act Raiser, Soul Blazer, Valkerie Profile, Dragon Quest, Star Ocean, SaGa, Front Mission, Seiken Densetsu, Chrono Cross/Trigger, Dewprism, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, Brave Fencer Musashi, Drakengard, Radiata Stories, and (although seriously doubtful) Xenogears.

On a side note, I noticed Square/Enix is working hard to ruin the original Final Fantasy Tactics game (on the PSP) by replacing sprite-based cut scenes with CG ones and adding in redundant character classes from FFIII and characters from FFXII. Tactics is probably the one game from the PSX era that they could have done absolutely nothing to and people would still buy it.

May i ask what is this got to do with KH3?

Definately do The Black Cauldron, so you can get some serious Army Of Darkness type fighing in!

I think it should be included, but not as a world. Have the Horned King as a major villain, and towards the end of the game, a boss fight with him. And in the center of the room is the cauldron and he periodically summons Cauldron Born from it! That would rock so much.

I really don't mind extra classes or the CGI cutscenes. (I actually like the style they're in) but FF12 characters? I hadn't heard about that one. That's just retarded. Considering that even if it is the same Ivalice, they'd have take place hundreds of years apart.

And one from FF6, too. Although poor Setzer did NOT look nearly like he should have, imo.

Oh, I would just LOVE to see a level with a crucified Chu Chu in it. Or have Id break the gummi ship in two while the masses look on and scream.

Actually, I think I read that the original creators retained the rights to the characters and story when they left, just not the title, and that is how the Xenosaga series got made.

ugh. you people. Jungle Book maybe? And stop with the final fantasy crap. the only reason they used them was so they could fill in the extra characters.

Haha, a Valkyrie Profile one would be hilarious. I can just see it now...

"Welcome to my world, here, let me introduce you to a couple hundred characters, each with their own backstory and personality. Oh, and they all have heartless problems, so could you help them out? K, thanks."

What about Fighting those Brooms in FANTAISIA?

I would like to see Kefka in this one. And a slime too.

"Bwahaha! The heartless are here! Oh, make music my heartless! Hey! You! There's SAND on my BOOTS!"

They're in the Disney Castle, but IIRC they only appear in cutscenes. It could be possible, if some spell or something made them brooms go wacko, and you and mickey could team up and PWN THEM ALL!!! >:D

*Ahem*
This portion of an interview with Nomura from Kingdom Hearts Ultimania, which can be found here [kh2.co.uk], shows what plans Nomura has for KH3.

After the ending, there's a secret movie this time, too. What exactly is the movie trying to tell?
I actually have a solid idea on what the movie's setting will be in my head. In the previous game's secret movie, I wasn't even sure if I would be making a sequel or not, so some parts of it were quite vague. But this time I already have an idea my head where I think "This is it."

Did that scene happen in the future or in the past?
I would at least say it's an episode in the past, but.... Hmm, how should I say this? It's in the past but you can also think it's in the future, something like that.

Who are the 3 armoured people?
Those 3 are completely new people who haven't shown up at all. In fact, I've already thought of their names. Back when I was making that movie, I only had their settings but now I've even drawn their faces to give myself a clearer image of them.

The king, Sora and Riku's keyblades were there, too.
It's to show that those three armoured people aren't them but that doesn't mean they don't have connections. The words "Keyblade War" that showed up in the middle were to implicate that there were fights between Keyblades. Most of the puzzles in the first KH have been solved in KHII but there are many things about the Keyblade that haven't been revealed yet. A line from the previous game's Ansem Report #8 appeared in the movie but that is to say "It means this but it's not explained yet."

Does that mean you already have a plot for KHIII?
Hmm... I have an idea but it can't be helped because my team are planning to work on our next different title. So we're not working on KHIII now and we're not planning to work on it for some time, too. I have a plot in my head but I'm not sure if it'll be released to the world or just stay in there.

I don't know if Nomura is talking about FFvsXIII or his other project called "It's a Wonderful World". But what's for certain is, we won't be getting KH3 for a LONG time. Which makes me sad.

Thats a great find Magnus911. Here's what I would like to see in KH3:
Worlds:
Pirates of the Carribean
Lilo and Stitch
Corpse Bride(Im tired of the Nightmare levels, they need something new thats just like it.)
Toy Story
Emperors New Groove
A Bugs Life
Darkwing Duck
Winnie the Pooh(make it an actual Heartless fighting world)

Partners:
Jack Sparrow
Stitch
Vincent(I think thats his name)
Buzz Lightyear
Kuzco(Llama Form)
Flik
Darkwing Duck
Winnie the Pooh

Major Bosses:
Malificent(non world boss)
Chernabog(Fantasia, appeared in first game)
Syndrome(non world boss)(Incredibles)
Pete(non world boss)
Oogie Boogie(non world boss)
Davy Jones
Gantu
(the bad guy from Corpse Bride)
Zurg
Yzma
Hopper
Taurus Bolba
Hefalump

Minor bosses:
The Kraken(big ship battle, not necasarily a boss battle, just a big event battle)
Big Souped of version of Experiment 625
Giant evil version of the skeleton dog
The Prospector
Krunk
Thumper
Taurus Bolba's two assistants
More Hefalumps

Note: These are only the worlds that I would like. I might include the other stuff later.

Here's my idea for Bosses that would rock:

Stitch (while going his crazy destruction phase )(Lilo and Stitch)
The Horned King (The Black Cauldron)
The Queen (Snow White)
Gantu (Lilo and Stitch)
That kid that blows up toys whose name I can't remember (Toy Story)
Yzma (Emperor's New Groove)
Hopper (A Bug's Life)
Thumper (A Bug's Life)
Molt (A Bug's Life)
Davy Jones (Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest)
Syndrome (The Incredibles)
Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty)
Diablo (Sleeping Beauty)
Saluk (Aladdin and the King of Thieves)
Pain and Panic (Hercules)
Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
Governer Ratcliffe (Pocahontas)
Tornado Titan (Hercules)
Rock Titan (Hercules)
Lava Titan (Hercules)
Ice Titan (Hercules)
Pete (Mickey Mouse Cartoons)
Mad Madam Mim (The Sword in the Stone)
Mortimer Mouse (Mickey Mouse Cartoons)

Pete (Mickey Mouse Cartoons)
Mad Madam Mim (The Sword in the Stone)
Mortimer Mouse (Mickey Mouse Cartoons)

I like those Ideas!
also how about these for summons:
Flubber(Flubber)
the three gargoles (the Hunchback of Notre Dame)
Tod and Copper (the fox and the hound)

and how about a world of BAZIL the great mouse dectective!
Where the boss would be the rat person!?

MORE Boss ideas:

Brutus and Nero (The Rescuers)
The Tyrannosaurus (Fantasia)
Draken and Shego (Kim Possible)
The Headless Horseman (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad)
Lady Tremaine and Lucifer (Cinderella)
Madame Medusa (The Rescuers)
The Sheriff of Nottingham (Robin Hood)
Prince John and Sir Hiss (Robin Hood)
Shere Khan (The Jungle Book)
Kaa (The Jungle Book)
Chernabog (Fantasia)
Zira (The Lion King II)
Nuka (The Lion King II)
John Silver (Treasure Planet)
Sparky (Stitch the Movie)
Leroy (Leroy and Stitch)

A Draken and Shego bossfight would be so cool. I could just imagine what to do in it. Draken has a shield around him with a device hes working on. First you have to knock out Shego and then the shield would go down. Then you would just constantly attack Draken. Then a shield would come up and he would get back to work on the machine. It all just depends on if you can beat them both fast enough, befor the machine is made, mainly because when the machine is finished it will blow up, cause a bunch of damage to you, and heal Draken to full health. It would be soooooooo cooooooooooooool!

*random babbling and stuff.*

Okay, I'm gonna be a weirdo because I really liked the Atlantica level and the Pooh level ( They were sooo cute)! I think they should keep them in the next installment.

If they do include a musical level again, they should probably go with Fantasia. Plus I really liked the couples themes for the world, they were nice. Every 'princess' had a prince.

Personally, I would like to see more Disney characters instead of FF characters and I'm pretty sure that the Lion King II is gonna come into play anyway. A Mary Poppins world would be fun with a chimney sweeping bonus game, lol.

The only reason I think they put Pirates of the Carribbean in was to cash in on the sequel. I hope they don't try something like that again.

Another Hallloween Town level would be nice too.

I'm sick of Sephiroth. He's an overrated villian. Maybe add in Kefka in his place? More Vivi would be nice too.

I was figuring that new villians, like those from Org. XIII would spawn from Xehanort's memories because it was possible that part of him survived but was kept into a deep sleep or something. *shrugs* I dunno. I thought the KHIII movie looked all sorts of boring.

It would be nice if you could do a past level like in KHII only it would be telling how Mickey got his hands on the keyblade and stuff.

No more FFVII. Hasn't that game been whored out enough? I would like to see Tifa and Yuffie return. I don't think Tifa got enough screentime.

Darkwing Duck level is a great idea. It would be funny to see Sora run around in a superhero costume. Lilo and Sitch, Roger Rabbit, Kim Possible and maybe the Sword in the Stone would be some others. What the heck, why not Dave the Barbarian? That show is funny.

I'm pretty sure that with every summon you have, there's gonna be a world for it in the next game, and the next game and so on, until you are taking your walker to buy Kingdom Hearts XXVI and the limited edition pimptacular Final Fantasy XXVVVIIMCLL or whatever.

I think that like a bonus for beating the game would be that you would be able to take party members to other worlds and they would unlock stuff you missed so that you could see the preview for KHIV (you know they're making it).

There are only two major things that I would want in the next KH.

One:Third-party worlds. I mean worlds besides Disney. The makers may have said that they won't do any FF worlds, but that doesn't mean they couldn't do something else.(KH and Legend of Zelda. Clean up when you're done. Heehee.)

Two:Some other FF characters. One in particular. For a hint, check my icon. There you go.

Besides that, I'd be happy with whatever they came up with. More Aladdin(you know they're going to), more POTC(simply because Jack kicks ass), whatever.

Oh man. I just thought of something.

V for Vendetta and Kingdom Hearts.

So, incredibly, COOL!!!!!

I had best see some goddamn Dragon Quest characters in this game. A DracoLord boss battle would be the greatest thing to have ever happened to Kingdom Hearts.

Please tell me you didn't say that. Chicken Little was a summon in the last game.

I'm going to go cry now.

Kingdom Hearts IV?

Please, don't try to make my brain explode. There's only so much I can take.

*Have Kairi and Sora finally kiss so all those "Sora X Riku" yaoi freaks will realize that Sora's not gay!

the only reason that sora was happier to see riku than kairi was because that sora thought donald and goofy sucked as fighters and he wanted riku to help him instead

I had fun playing that.

They don't suck as fighters. They suck in general. Donald drinks potions like Robert Downy Jr. and Royal Crown and Goofy eyuck, exp thief.

Sora didn't want better fighters. He wanted Riku to help finish the job that the boulder didn't.

so is kh one of the best ps2 games, because people are being over dramatic about this(or they are just plain sensitive)

It Final Fantasy. And Disney. Smushed together into one orgy of love. What more explaining do you need... Pfft, over dramatic... NU DEMYX IS DEAD! D:

I'm surprised in this thread no ones mentioned the names of the 3 'Chasers' in the longer trailer thingy, the one which shows Mickey with the keyblade you get from Yensid.

Sora, Riku, Kairi = Ven, Terra, Aqua :3

Even though KHIII won't be out for aaaaages, I'm still having fun hacking my KHII and KHII:Final Mix games with my Action Replay MAX. It's so much fun fighting 2 Axels, or 2 Sephiroths... While being Mickey or Dual-Wield Roxas!

Speaking of Sephiroth, I wish they didn't tone him down. In KHI, Sephiroth was the only thing that ever provided me with a decent challenge. In KHII, I can bludgeon the guy to death with Sweet Memories! *cough* Let Kefka or Kuja have a go. *cough*

Being less cliche then it already is would be nice...

i hear that kh 3 is on the psp, and an organization one is for ds, lucky i have a psp for the good one,

It's not exactly KH III. It's more of a prequel to the series, rather than a direct sequel.

Wh-what? Why wasn't I informed of this?!

Oh, man. There are so many PSP titles planned that I want.
