History WMG / KingdomHeartsIII

[[WMG:BonusBoss fights will include Data Copies of the Foretellers.]]

* From a game design perspective that is a terrible idea. While it may very well be harder than Terra’s FinalBoss, it cannot be harder than a BonusBoss. Bonus bosses are, by design, extra fights for those who want to put in the effort to challenge them. A FinalBoss is meant to be beatable by people who aren’t as good or aren’t interested in LevelGrinding or unlocking the best weapons and abilities (which is often necessary to prevent bonus bosses from killing you in one hit). If people want to play the game for the story, such a DifficultySpike, would be incredibly unfair.

** This is the reason GameplayAndStorySegregation exists. Unless you honestly believe the Ice Titan is stronger than Xehanort then Bonus Bosses cannot necessarily overpower story characters. Kingdom Hearts is incredibly good about keeping its Bonus Bosses story relevant (Xemnas, Lingering Will, and Young Xehanort), having them be just rampaging monsters (The aforementioned Titan and Julius) or of questionable canonicity (the Mirage Arena, Vanitas Remnant and the Data XIII). With the exception of Sephiroth (who in story is equal in power to Cloud, who is a much easier boss) none of these characters are a real threat. As a developer, you want people to play the game they create and have fun, giving them options in how they play, how seriously or casually they do so (hence difficulties) and how much time they want to put into it. The developer cannot expect every gamer to have been preparing for this for a decade since plenty of people only played the numbered titles and the game is going to the only one in the series on an Xbox system. While most Xbox players buying the game may be familiar through Nintendo installments, they may not have a grasp of the numbered plot. An opponent who is more difficulty in gameplay is not always stronger in story (Demyx is not stronger than Xemnas just because he is ThatOneBoss) and, opposite to your statement, the developers don’t want to communicate the power to you in a way that forces hours of grinding. The game is already showing Sora at his most powerful and Nomura has confirmed that to compensate for this the game is going to be harder (the enemies having better AI is the biggest factor) but the sheer level of DifficultySpike between the main game and a BonusBoss is just plain stupid to force on the players (there's a reason they are called '''Bonus Bosses'''). Plus there will still have to be Bonus Bosses anyway who are still more difficult than the final boss for those who want it so this is completely impossible (unless they do a “beat everything to unlock a harder version of the final boss and you get a cool little extra thing” and that thing would not be story related, but that still is different from what you're suggesting).
*** Might depend on how you unlock that TrueFinalBoss. My bet is that by the time you even encounter said boss, there is no BonusBoss that is not defeated by this point. Logical since you're likely to get better equipment to fight said boss. Either that or they give you a BossRush true arena-style similar to Marx Soul or Magalor Soul (again, most likely after the bonus bosses.) Might involve beating the FinalBoss and anything that can be described as a BonusBoss and then replaying the game in NewGamePlus mode.

** If Deadpool is in he will be A) A cameo like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX ViVi's]] hat on Donald's Staff B) A BigLippedAlligatorMoment that isn't brought up again or mentioned in the Journal or C) A BonusBoss who yells at The Player after losing and vanishing leaving Sora and Co. confused wondering who he's talking too

* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Gilgamesh]] -- ([[RuleOfThree see above]]) Shame on you all for not suggesting this earlier. Shows up as a BonusBoss in [[WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone Britain]], [[MythologyGag looking for Excalibur]] (which Sora would most likely obtain as a Keyblade). HilarityEnsues. And given that Gilgamesh is a canonical DimensionalTraveler, he's the only character besides Auron who stands a chance of being the genuine article.

** He will be the BonusBoss. Like Sephiroth, he was [[spoiler: a total pushover for the final boss battle]], so making him ThatOneBoss could compensate.

[[WMG:Sephiroth will return as a BonusBoss]]

* be playable for a certain BonusBoss.

[[WMG: There will be a BonusBoss quest between Sora and his friends]]

* [[VideoGame/{{Xenogears}} Grahf]] will appear as a BonusBoss.

* As cool as this would be, Disney has all but disowned the film in the West and probably wouldn't want to give him a villain slot before other, more popular characters. That being said, there's a pretty good chance he'd be a BonusBoss.

** Alternatively, they'll be called "Remnants," with the [[BonusBoss Vanitas Remnant]] being our first hint of them.

[[WMG: ComicBook/{{Galactus}} will appear as a BonusBoss.]]

[[WMG: The Foretellers will be in the game as Data {{Bonus Boss}}es.]]

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Luxu]] will be a BonusBoss]]
* Because most of the games would have a BonusBoss that would preview what's to come.
** The BonusBoss battles are against souped-up versions of the XIII Seekers of Darkness, of course of which [[spoiler: Xigbar is one of them, but he still just fights as Xigbar/Braig, similar to his battle style in ''II'' and ''Birth By Sleep'']]. So kinda both [[NoExceptYes Jossed and Confirmed]] at the same time, in a way.

[[WMG: The [[BonusBoss Dark Inferno]] is an evolved or mutated Invisible]]

* [[VideoGame/SleepingDogs Wei Shen]] could be a resident in WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}} as a Lemur.

[[WMG: The [[BonusBoss Replica]] [[CloningBlues Data]] from KHIIFM+ will become relevant in KHIII.]]

** Alternatively, Mickey and the Roadster Racers?

* ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales}}'' and/or ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''

* ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' and/or ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory''
* '''''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'''''

[[WMG: The Titans fought in the first game were just minor {{Avatar}}s. The ones in Three are the real deal.]]

Initially Roxas will hate Ven's guts. No identity to call his own now- Ventus had his looks [[TalkingToHimself and]] [[Music/JesseMcCartney voice]] way before him -besides his name and existence. Oh yeah, those belong to Sora, really; "Roxas" is "Sora" + an X and he owes his life to Sora pulling a HeroicSacrifice. Similar personalities, except Ven has an easier time with people than the kind-of-a-loner Roxas? [[SarcasmMode Fantastic.]]

** If not, Sonic and the Freedom Fighters could show up in the Hercules world. RuleOfCool for not only having Roger voicing Sonic with his [[Main/TalkingToHimself Final Fantasy role]], but with Tara Strong as Post-SGW Sally and Rikku.

Zidane was created as a living weapon by Garland. Even though he's a good guy when acting of his own free will, Xehanort manipulating him into being the Angel of Death he was intended to be is well within the realm of possibility, especially given that Xehanort has already tried to corrupt Sora. Plus, it would give them an excuse to recruit Creator/BrycePapenbrook to add to their list of CelebrityVoiceActors.

-->'''Maleficent:''' "[[SchmuckBait Here it is... Just what I've waited for]]. [[WrongGenreSavvy To think that]] [[ExactWords all he spoke of]] [[FromACertainPointOfView was and will be true]]."

** Jossed. The "only" part was a mistranslation. He says he's from the Real Organization.

* Even if that is her, let's take some factors into account. She's been noted to have been breaking down in the Realm of Darkness, and believes that she's losing her friends or that they could die. She's lasted at least 11 years of this if we take into consideration rebuilding Sora in CoM took one extra year. One sign of prolonged stress is that it can literally turn your hair to grey/white. One sign of corruption by the darkness is gaining yellow eyes. And since Aqua has been in a place where EverythingIsTryingToKillYou, worried about her friends and is very corruptive, it's plausible that she simply got corrupted by the Darkness rather than Xehanort finding her.

** That's very unlikely, due to the fact Aqua is the only one who is able to find and open the Chamber of Waking, where Ventus' body is resting. Perhaps he's taken on a new face.....
** Vanitas [[http://blog.hokanko-alt.com/archives/53683861.html being]] [[BackFromTheDead resurrected]] rather than using TimeTravel supports this.

** This is supported as ''Kingdom Hearts III'' [[https://twitter.com/aitaikimochii/status/1011092528630677504?s=21 flyers that were handed out at the Shinjuku Installation]] contained several quotes, from Xion, Roxas, and Lea one of the quotes is:

** That could have been Kairi saying tthat though.
** Xemnas has also [[https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomHearts/comments/8fugw0/kh358_xehanorts_true_plan_was_hinted_at_all_the/ stated]] that Xion is a worthy candidate.

** Except Xehanort’s exact words were, “Sora and another on your list belong to me”.

-->'''Master Xehanort:''' “You will have to grow stronger before you can do it and the same goes for Ventus. When you two then have reached the same strength and fight like this, the χ-Blade will be forged. And then the χ-Blade will release you… no… the world from all suffering.”

He may be the only Disney character to whom this happens, as well. It will mark just how serious things are with Xehanort. So far, the Thirteen theoretically consist of Master Xehanort, Young Xehanort, Ansem SoD, Vanitas, Luxord, Larxene, Marluxia, Xigbar, Saix/Isa, and Xemnas. This leaves three openings. These could possibly be filled by anyone from Ansem the Wise (who could be like Marluxia and Larxene and pulled out of a time when he wasn't dead) to Aqua to Riku Replica to Terranort. Yen Sid would be a powerful ally for Xemnas.

* Xehanort Guardian Heads (x2): Ansem SoD and Terranort or Xemnas

This is a NumberedSequel yo. Kingdom Hearts II does have a themesong different from Kingdom Hearts I. Kingdom Hearts I uses Simple and Clean/Hikari. Kingdom Hearts II uses Sanctuary/Passion.
* I've heard in the past that Utada Hikaru confirmed that Beautiful World had been checked as the theme for Kingdom Hearts III. Granted, the sources aren't necessarily reliable, as this was before Birth By Sleep was officially released.

* But isn't Utada on hiatus right now? Will she return for Kingdom Hearts? By the way, she just got married in May 2014 so if Square approaches her in the coming months, she might not accept.

* If there could be an [[Main/{{CapcomSequelStagnation}} Updated and re-released]] Nintendo Switch version, [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Transformers EVO]]

* By the standards of the series, dating is a little un-subtle for what the writers' taste seems to be. The most developed romance is in the very storytelling-heavy 358/2 Days, and no one actually voiced their feelings in any way. Kairi and Sora have spent more time apart than anything, and unless they spend the entire game together (not improbable, but Sora is apparently slated to stick with Donald and Goofy), it'd be unusually heavy-handed. I think the KH teams just like the romantic grey-area.
** "Kairi and Sora spent more time apart than anything"? That would be forgetting they grew up together for 9 years, and have never been separated for more than one year ever since. Not to mention that, far from pausing their relationship, their time apart has frequently been used for not-so-subtle Ship Teasing by the writers (Sora thinking of Kairi or looking longfully at her oathkeeper in a StarCrossedLovers fashion, for instance), and the words "like" and "love" have been used to describe their feelings by other characters. However, I do agree with you about the writers obviously not wanting to bring it to dating or wedding territory, which is why a simple RelationshipUpgrade is probably the likeliest option for KH III.

*** Alternatively, Deadpool could be a very powerful Summon who is a GameBreaker. He would be very Powerful, as he would possess a Gigantic amount of Attacks and Weaponry And one last thing, a TakeThat to Roman Reigns winning against Triple H and Undertaker in two WrestleManias, where one of the boss fights in the game is a monstrous Brock Lesnar Expy. Bonus points for ShoutOut jokes to Manga/{{One Punch Man}}, Manga/{{Fist of the North Star}} and Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}, with big TakeThat jokes where Shonen Jump didn't have King Muscle in recent console crossover games (especially with VideoGame/{{JumpForce}} aka the biggest one of all).
** Also, how about a big TakeThat to VideoGame/{{Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe}} in which the former which is top horrific and dark that had been Bowlderized for the Younger fans of Superheroes. Unlike that, Deadpool will be Sanitized, but still faithful to the source material like Nintendo did with Bayonetta.

* Contrarily, he or she will be an authentic AntiVillain (instead of a [[{{Hypocrite}} Hypocritical]] {{Sociopath}} like Xehanort) with UnintentionallySympathetic and VillainHasAPoint issues against Darkness for all the harm it's visibly caused time and time again; in fact, that may even make him or her a VillainWithGoodPublicity to countless people disillusioned with the idea of "Balance" (ironically thanks to "Balance"-obsessed people like Xehanort, thus doubling as retroactive LaserGuidedKarma against him).

My guess is that, during the Keyblade War, it has either embraced or overtaken by the darkness on its own while attempting to protect the Kingdom Hearts itself, and thus split itself into 13 dark and 7 light pieces. The dark pieces, perhaps corrupted by the ancient Keyblade Masters who latches their own darkness into the χ-blade itself, eventually made their way to Xehanort (Ansem SoD gave him an χ-blade fragment to Young Xehanort, which eventually draws in the rest of the χ-blade fragments), drawn by his curiosity to reach the Kingdom Hearts, which would somewhat explain Xehanort's connection to Recusant's Sigil.

* Has someone been [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime watching]] Series/DoctorWho? (Actually, though, that's a pretty feasible theory.)

The World Ends with You, the first non-Final Fantasy game became a part of the KH universe. This opens the floodgates for other Square-Enix franchises to pull from. Perhaps Dragon Quest, Mana Series, Valkyrie Profile, or Chrono Trigger. Lightning or Noctis may show up to prepare hype for other Square games.
* Guys. Star Ocean is published by Square-Enix. Combine with Treasure Planet. Let the awesomeness commence.

New Disney Worlds may include revisiting the jungle outside of Tarzan with The Jungle Book. A cross-over of Atlantis/Treasure Planet with certain FF characters along for the ride! Wreck-It Ralph in the Tron world! Mary Poppins or the Robinson family in Traverse Town! A Mewni themed WrestleMania hosted by Mina and Ludo together featuring various Dragon Quest monsters.

* La Cite des Cloches appearing is unlikely considering nearly all the Disney worlds are brand new, but Frollo being a boss would be a great idea. Especially if after being defeated the first time he turns into[[AttackOfTheGiant50FootWhatever the largest Heartless ever]].

* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Queen Brahne]] -- If not Jecht, then she could be the mayor of Destiny Islands. Also, I've always imagined PatCarroll doing her voice.

It's right in the VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance opening: Roxas, Terra, Ven, and Aqua are shown in that order. I theorize that the order of rescuing these Lights will be this reversed, since it's easier to grab Aqua from the RoD so she can grab Ven from CO, then Terra can be brought back through friendship/magic/????(Terra getting back confuses me to no end), and then, after finding a way to spilt Terra from Xehanort and experimenting with heart restoration in a light sense, Roxas can be split from Sora and/or Ventus with little difficulty.
* Technically, Axel was the one that was saved first when he returned back to his original persona as Lea - The version of [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsCoded Re:coded]] included within 2.5 HD Remix reveals he was amongst those whose hearts were aching within Sora's heart.

3) with his heart presumably still in it's 100% light status (maybe more towards 90% but you get the idea) getting him involved may cause a χ-Blade no matter what anyone does which = Xehanort wins which may not be taken well

[[WMG: More non-Final Fantasy Square-Enix characters will appear.]]

* VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou cast will return.

[[WMG: The opening song will be Passion Orchestrated and the end will be Simple and Clean]]
Similar to how DDD used Hikari Orchestrated for the opening and Passion -after the battle- for its end.

* Perhaps both Sanctuary and Simple and Clean will be implemented into the opening and ending; both one after the other(end) and remixed together(opening)

She appears in DDD because of unresolved business and feelings in Days. She'll interact with Sora and eventually sacrifice the rest of her being, confident that the heroes will beat Xehanort and grateful to finally be remembered. She'll die on her terms, when she's finally ready.

Eleven/twelve-ish years in the RoD for what amounts to no reason added to Terra's successful norting and not very good opinions about Xehanort might lead Aqua to becoming more of a gung-ho KnightTemplar with some greyer morality than the events of Birth By Sleep. Contrast Ventus, who- while probably understanding where she's coming from -has been asleep within Sora this whole time and is probably pretty unchanged and still the kiddo who knows what's right and looks for the best in others. Aqua always has Terra and Ventus first in her head, so with Terra somewhat out of that equation it'll probably be Ventus and his well-being overall doing the convincing for Aqua to not give in to darker ideas. Which won't be very good if Ven does end up getting hurt, or worse, norted.

If Max is a [[WesternAnimation/GoofTroop young boy]] he'll be mad at Sora (and Donald to an extent) for keeping his Dad away for so long. If he's a [[WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie teenager]] or young adult, he'll feel a little jealous at their close relationship. As a happy alternative they end up hitting it off and become HeteroSexualLifePartners. However, no matter what happens Sora will be thoroughly shocked that Goofy has a son.

* {{Jossed}}, Pride Lands isn't returning for III, so it's doubtful that this plot will come up in spite of their world's absence.

After summoning [[OnceUponATime Rumpelstiltskin]] in a time of desperation they'll end up bantering for a little while, with Rumple noting [[LampShadeHanging how odd Sora's universe is,]] and then things get serious when they strike a deal. In case you're wondering how this could be possible we must remember that Sora's version of Merlin is a time traveling reality warper and it's possible that the two have run into one another.

To be specific she will start out working for Hades (Possibly due to the fact that he might have another character from Final Fantasy XIII hostage.) but after you defeat her she may become a party member that helps you defeat Hades.

In the vein of ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' and ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', it will be about a team of warriors and mages that Yen Sid deploys on missions during the main story when Sora and the others are busy. His magic train will be their transportation and they can be equipped with items that are [[MythologyGag Mythology Gags]] to Disney, Pixar, Final Fantasy and other Square-Enix stuff (''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' mission outfits and Final Fantasy weapons like gunblades, for example). There will be an exchange between single and multiplayer in the form of items and experience as well as costume unlocks for multiplayer, but it won't affect the endings.

Like the Final Fantasy XIII DLC but with actual stat increases like the MassEffect3 DLC costumes, with character's base outfits giving bonuses as well, ex. the Organization cloak can be worn by Sora, Riku and Kairi with defense bonuses against Darkness and Water attacks ([[DontExplainTheJoke because it's a raincoat]]) and Keyblade armor that increases general Defense/Darkness. For exclusives Kairi will have a PrincessClassic costume (with a shorter skirt to avoid clipping issues), Riku his Vanitas-esque body suit and Sora a more mature version of his original outfit.

Marluxia rules Anguis(AmbiguousGender and has a floral Keyblade), Demyx is incharge of Leopardos(young looking), Luxord leads Unicornis(manly) and Larxene runs Vulpeus(female and has a cloud Keyblade). The Ursus Foreteller is either the only one without a Nobody or his Nobody is in hiding.

* How about instead of a bonus boss, the firebird will play a similar role to Chernabog in KH1, an unforeshadowed final Disney opponent with little influence on the story. While Night on Bald Mountain builds up slowly, when the Firebird awakens in Fantasia 2000, the sudden eye opening and music practically make it a Jumpscare. If the Firebird makes a sudden appearance right before Xehanort or even between Xehanort battles, that will throw players for a loop.

Nomura ''did'' want to make ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' one after seeing ''Les Miserables'', but since he got turned down on that one he might put those ideas into here. One song a world, perhaps? Maybe even a finale when you finish the plot for a world, just cutscenes where they sing with no mini game, or you know what just maybe off-to-the-side Easter eggs from [=NPCs=] in peaceful areas. Hopefully, they'll be much more enjoyable than KH2’s Atlantica.

[[WMG: There will be Franchise/FinalFantasy-based DLC costumes]]

[[WMG: Bill Cipher from WesternAnimation/GravityFalls will either be a bonus boss or be involved in the plot somehow]]

Let's see, Kingdom Hearts has the "Dive to the Heart" in almost every game, which usually takes place one the character is sleeping. The most recent game literally to them to the realm of sleep. Ven is currently soul less, a perfect vessel for Bill. And he can know about the future.

* This troper was under the impression that the 'Guardian' used by both Terranort in BBS and Xehanort in the first game was, in fact, Terra's Heartless - it appears alongside both, suggesting it is not simply an extension of Xehanort's Heartless, and appears to be bound to his will, evoking similarity with his possession of Terra's body. He first manifests it when fighting Aqua, a situation in which whatever is left of Terra in Terranort would be struggling against Xehanort's will. IIRC, it even has it's own version of some of Terra's moves. This would also mean it becomes the World of Chaos, half of the final boss of KH1 - and there are some minor similarities between WoC's head and Terra's helmet that support the idea. Not a pushover indeed.

Because Disney Town I guess isn't weird enough yet and they already have [[Creator/JimCummings his VA]] on payroll to do half a million other voices. Also it would be [[RuleOfCool awesome]]. Well, despite the fact that it's unlikely, as he's a TV Show character, and they don't have those in KH (unless you count characters from shorts as being tv show characters), but I can dream just like Gravity Falls fans can.

[[WMG: The ending will be similar to the finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender.]]

It is heavily implied that Terra will be brought back one way or another, but he has been merged with Xehanort for so long that it might be impossible to release him completely without harming is. So, what it's possible that perhaps after the very final boss fight, Terra's soul inside Xehanort will be awakened and he comes back temporarily, but he knows that Xehanort is still fighting even though he's weakened and it will not take long for him to take over once again; which is when Terra decides to pull a [[HeroicSacrifice Heroic Sacrifice]] to destroy both himself and Xehanort once and for all. He could also do it as a mean of redeption considering that he [[spoiler: blindly trusted Xehanort during the events of BBS, which brought down a 12-year-long coma state and stay in the realm of darkness for both of his best friends respectively, as well as the death of his master and father figure.]]

This will the end story with the undoing of all the major events in the Kingdom Hearts timeline. This allows for the new saga to happen.

We know from E3 2013 that Riku will be tracking down the trio from BbS while Sora handles protecting the seven lights. Do you think the Keyblade Master who had it drilled into her head by her Master that [[DarkIsEvil darkness is unquestionably evil]], watched her friends and Master fall to darkness, and was trapped herself in the Realm of Darkness for over a decade will react very well when a Keyblade wielder who uses darkness approaches her?

[[WMG:[[KingdomHeartsX Ephemer]] will be one of the seven lights.]]

[[WMG:[[KingdomHeartsX Ava's Dandelions]] will return from the other world just in time for the final battle against Xehanort.]]

[[WMG: The inevitable [[SequelHook Secret Ending]] won't ''just'' serve as a teaser for the next KH installment.]]

* Custom Music and Themes, imagine a Person with [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} This Will Be the Day]] being used as the Battle theme.

[[WMG: The Foretellers will be in the game as Data [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]].]]

[[WMG: The Prophecy is not about the events of Kingdom Hearts X and Back Cover.]]

Between the events of Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 1, Xehanort becomes one of Ansem the Wise's six apprentices. Using the No Name keyblade, which the Master uses for his prophecies, he betrays the other five. In Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, we learn that he plans to spark another keyblade war. And in the trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3, he clearly believes that the prophecy of darkness prevailing will happen in the future.

* Or maybe the box contains the Master of Masters' body, with what we saw of him being his spirit and mind. He'll use the time travel established in 3D to get to KHIII for some reason.

As Tennant is taking over the role for the ''[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 DuckTales]]'' reboot, he'll potentially voice the character here if he shows up. It also lets the actor assimilate more into the role by voicing him in a place besides the show.

[[WMG:All the Final Fantasy final bosses will appear.]]

In KingdomHeartsX, when the Daybreak Town belltown went off, that signaled the start of the Keyblade War. Not only does Twilight Town’s clock tower have a similar design, but it has two huge bells right on the sides. Assuming Xehanort wants to start the second Keyblade War in the same vein as the first, then it’s highly possible the clock tower will serve as the bell to signal the Keyblade War’s start. [[SarcasmMode As though we needed another reason to cry around the clock tower.]]

* Sora in both his new and Limit Form outfits from ''KHII'' and maybe his dream outfit from ''DDD''. I mean, why model the KHII costume for ''0.2'' if you're not gonna use it outside of maybe the opening level of this game?
** Alternatively, Sora's outfit having a ShoutOut to [[ComicBook/{{TheAvengers}} Captain America]] and other Avengers.

* Riku in his KHII attire, which is just an aged version of his KHI attire, or his black robe from KHII. His different haircuts. A Noctis costume, since his clothes are heavily based on his.
* King Mickey in his regular outfit from the Disney canon & the end of KHI, his robe, his king outfit.
** Alternatively, King Mickey's new outfit having a ShoutOut to [[Franchise/{{StarWars}} Luke Skywalker]], an another franchise owned by Disney.
* Maybe swappable outfits for the main characters from the other main characters, like if Sora can wear Roxas' clothes from II for example.

[[WMG: The game will have more comedy like KHII to balance what will be a ''very'' heavy in drama story]]

* We learned the mechanics of time travel for the KH universe in ''Dream Drop Distance''. You can only travel to a point in time you've been to before and cannot make any significant changes. Riku left his damaged keyblade in the sand so that either a past or future Riku will have a weapon on hand that would be easy to put back how he found it and not change history too drastically.

Is not Aqua at all. Instead it's [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Ardyn]] disguised as Aqua, who's either on Xehanort's side, Maleficent's side, or his own side to spread dissent among the light side. Additionally, the [=FFXV=] boys will show up in some fashion.

* he's actually met the Disney princesses and their love ones who had only met recently so he would take it better than Elsa and Kristoff did..... Until he sees how Hans really is like.

--> When Vanitas calls Aqua a "spare", is he talking about raw materials for making a X-blade?
-->'''Nomura''': Yes. She was a "spare" prepared in case Ventus did not survive the fusion process with Vanitas. Aqua was recognised by Eraqus as a legitimate Keyblade Master who viewed light as absolute, and holds a strong heart of light. So if Ventus were to fail she could have been used as material for the X-blade.

It is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWE9SUNhK2s heavily implied]] that Xion is the XIII Seeker of Darkness due to [[UnWittingPawn Axel]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero dropping her into Xemnas's lap]] right before Xion's battle with Roxas and Roxas is sought out to be brought back. Xion's mere existence is a danger to Roxas' own. Roxas wants to be brought back by the Organization so [[PowerParasite Xion can absorb Roxas]]. Unless Xion can stop herself from absorbing Roxas's powers and his being, Roxas is screwed.

Akin to how Roxas was the main character of the prologue in II. Sora may be hit by BagOfSpilling, but he's still hardly a rookie at this point, so it would be kinda silly to treat him like one. Kairi, however, is still a newbie when it comes to the Keyblade, so playing as her wouldn't stretch suspension of disbelief.

According to HipsterSora: “I wonder if part of the BH6 world will be about bringing Tadashi back. What Hiro said really mirrored Sora's quest to return Roxas, and a small theory would be that bringing Tadashi back from data and heart connections may lead to the breakthrough needed to bring Roxas back. This would make Roxas' return rather lategame though, as far as Disney world first visits are considered.”

Going on what was said above, Xehanort will open the path to Kingdom Hearts and cause TheEndoftheWorldasWeKnowIt, rupturing the already damaged realm of light. Thus, the final boss will be Xehanort jacked up on heart power, only for Sora to use the power of his friends (as well as those of the worlds destroyed, since the heart survives after death) to match and destroy Xehanort once and for all. At that point, Sora will use Kingdom Hearts to recreate the universe, except no one remembers what happened due to Xehanort being erased from existence. That's how we'll be able to keep having adventures and still explain Sora's most recent case of BagOfSpilling.

* ComicBook/{{Doctor Strange}}

* ''Franchise/{{Hercules}}''

** ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride'' and/or WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'' (and perhaps ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'')

* Confirmed to have more worlds then KH2, which has the most in the series.
** Jossed later on, it now has less Disney worlds than KH2, but they are longer.

** Another possibility for ''Tangled''. Marluxia appears in from Sora, Donald, and Goofy while they visit Rapunzel's world. VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX reveals that his Somebody, Lauriam, was alive [[Really700YearsOld at the time of the Keyblade War]]. The healing FountainOfYouth abilities of Rapunzel's hair originated from a flower. Marluxia has GreenThumb powers. Given his involvement in the world and his apparent age, Marluxia [[TimeAbyss may be even older than Gothel]]. In fact, it's possible that Lauriam was the one who taught Gothel everything she knew about the flower in the first place.

** ''The Force Awakens'': Because Starkiller Base canonically operates on dark matter ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer It actually does]] according to WordOfGod]], it could be that Starkiller Base is literally powered by Heartless and now Xehanort wants to use it as a weapon of his own. However, after beating ''The Force Awakens'' world, he gets in trouble with the First Order and is forced to leave.

Probably not a girly music show world, but maybe something with action in it like Wizards of Waverly Place, Descendants, Kickin' It, or Lab Rats.

* Wizards of Waverly Place - Sora and the gang get involved in one of the main Wizards arcs, perhaps the Gorog arc.
* Kickin' It - Sora and the gang help Jack and the Wasabi Warriors in their feud with the Black Dragons.
* Lab Rats - Sora and the gang fight Douglas Davenport an Marcus with help from Adam, Bree, and Chase.

Phantom Manor is tied into the other nearby attraction, Big Thunder Mountain. They were apart of the same town, until the mining in the mountain angered it's protective spirit and it set a massive earthquake upon the town. Melanie's father died, as did MANy other people. Melanie Ravenswood later decided to marry, but a ghost -Le Fantom- murdered her fiancee. This then leads the two spirits in an eternal fight. Melanie wanting to protect the guests even beyond her death. And Le Fantom tormenting her spirit and wanting to add souls to his haunted version of the town above. Here is a ridethrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXU9ecfMm_o (Normally a Phantom laughs with a shovel outside the bourdoir. He appears to have been down for a refurb)

Since the Cloud VS Sephiroth feud was not concluded in previous titles, this would be a good place to conclude it. Also the inclusion of VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII and VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV's worlds and characters can finally happen, with an option to bring Lightning and/or Noctis in the Disney Worlds as part of your party.

Considering how she was ultimately reduced to a DamselInDistress once more in this game, something many fans weren't happy about, and how she is the reason Sora vanished in the end, it is possible that Nomura will have the next game follow her going off on a journey to find Sora and ''finally'' [[TookALevelinBadass taking a level in badass]] as a way to apologize to her fans.

* Confirmed with VideoGame/KingdomHeartsMelodyOfMemory

[[WMG: If Disney is very ready enough to make their own ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' that's the sequel to Kingdom Hearts III, then it would be [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls the Weirdmageddon Trilogy]], except cranked up]]

[[WMG: The next game is [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou The World Ends With You 2]]]]

[[WMG: Kingdom Hearts 4 will introduce new Nobodies.]]

[[WMG: [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons The Simpsons]] and/or [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill King of the Hill]] Might have worlds or characters in future titles.]]
Disney Owns Fox now, and all its [=IPs=]. And that gives Nomura so much extra content to draw from.

[[WMG: Luxord is the PlayerCharacter from VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX]]
* In the original browser version of χ[chi], the player uses cards instead of medals. In all versions of the game, your cards/medals are categorized as upright or reversed, terms lifted straight from Tarot. All of Luxord's card decks in 358/2 Days, save for his JokeWeapon decks and his default deck, are named after Tarot cards. Rearranging the letters to form his true name yields Ludor, the latin word for "to play" as a possible option.

* Rather, two future Square Enix releases that have Sora and Riku as [[{{Transplant}} Transplants]].

* The concept of the next KH game(or whatever game that relates to the secret ending) will be about pairs of Disney worlds and Original/Crossover worlds suddenly becoming single worlds. Speculated example: Deep Jungle located near the Pride Lands.

[[WMG: The next game will bring Sora into the Kingdom Hearts Chi world]]
* It's pretty clear, given that Sora was in the Final World and his Station of Awakening, that he's in the realm of sleep. That seems to be where the Kingdom Hearts Chi characters went to in order to avoid the disastrous events of the Keyblade War. He'd be right at home with those world-hopping keyblade wielders of yore, plus if he went there, he could discover how Ventus, Elrena, and Lauriam managed to leave and reach the present time, and free himself and possibly hundreds of other keyblade wielders.

Bear in mind, the original version of Versus XIII was intended to be a more morbid entry than VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV ended up being, with Noctis having been blessed by the death goddess Etro to see the souls of the dying. If Yozora is indeed a revamp to the original Noctis, giving him a power related to traversing ''death'' would be the next logical step, and could even hint at his means and purpose for "saving" Sora.

* Seemingly jossed by Melody of Memory, where it’s explained that Yozora’s world, Quadratum, is the world of unreality.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'' and/or ''WesternAnimation/{{Planes}}''

[[WMG: [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Groot]] will be a summon]]

* It could adapt 1979's ''[[Film/TheMuppetMovie The Muppet Movie]]'', with Sora, Donald, and Goofy joining Kermit's road trip to Los Angeles from his Florida swamp (with songs from the film, starting with "Rainbow Connection" and ending with "The Magic Shop/Rainbow Connection Reprise").
* It could adapt 2011's ''[[Film/TheMuppets The Muppets]]'', with Sora, Donald, and Goofy joining Walter and Gary in their quest to reunite the Muppets and save the Muppet Theater (with songs from the movie).
* It could be an original plot akin to an episode of ''[[Series/TheMuppetShow The Muppet Show]]'', with Sora, Donald, and Goofy invited as guest stars and performing alongside the Muppets (beginning with the ThemeTune; using [[GreatestHitsAlbum songs from throughout the show's run]], such as "Mahna Mahna" and "Turn the World Around"; and ending with "Rainbow Connection"). This option could also place the Muppet Theater in an existing world (such as Twilight Town or the Radiant Garden), rather than give the Muppets their own, separate world.

*** Might depend on how you unlock that TrueFinalBoss. My bet is that by the time you even encounter said boss, there is no BonusBoss that is not defeated by this point. Logical since you're likely to get better equipment to fight said boss. Either that or they give you a BossRush true arena-style similar to Marx Soul or Magalor Soul (again, most likely after the bonus bosses.) Might involve beating the FinalBoss and anything that can be described as a BonusBoss and then replying the game in NewGame+ mode.

Chirithy makes a point that the Final World is where the Realms of Sleep and Death "touch", allowing Sora to subconsciously pass into it when he dreams. Assuming Yozora is able to reach the Final World the same way as Sora (as shown when [[spoiler:he wakes up in the cab after the battle regardless of whether he wins or loses]]), it's possible that Yozora himself is on ''either'' side of the border -- instead of slipping into the border from the Realm of Sleep, he's on his way ''to'' the Realm of Sleep ''from'' the Realm of Death. As a result, the Final World is sort of like [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist The Gate]], insofar as when someone dies in one "worldline", they pass across the border of the Final World and are reincarnated into ''another'' worldline.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}''

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''
* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''

* [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Andy's House/Sid's House]]: When Sora and the gang learn about a world where toys are alive, this makes Sora paranoid about his childhood. Riku will especially panic because he would seem like the kind of kid that would blow up his toys. Donald would use his magic to help Woody and Buzz defend themselves.

* [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Arendelle]]: Sora and the gang come and are convinced by the town's folk that Elsa is a monster. When they see Elsa for who she really is, they end up conflicted who to help, since neither side is in the wrong.

* Jossed, he's looking for the black box.

* Jossed, he doesn't really get involved with the majority of the Frozen plotline, and never even meets Hans.
