I wasn’t really hoping to be able to play as seven guardians of light, but I do still hope (and I think we have a good shot) that we get a segment where you play with a party of five (Sora, Donald, Goofy, and two between Mickey, Riku, Kairi, and Lea). Or maybe you get a party consisting of Sora, Donald, Goofy, Kairi, and Lea? And then you get a segment where you play as Riku fighting alongside Mickey. Boom, seven guardians.
Or assuming everybody somehow comes back for the final battle, let’s just spitball and say Riku’s Party consists of him, Mickey, Aqua, Terra, and Ven. I dunno. Just thinking. Maybe they’ll go all out and actually have a party of seven for the final battle? Five is probably the limit for technical reasons, of course, but who knows, maybe they’d surprise us.
That all being said, I know we were never going to get an army of the Disney world’s backing us up against hordes of darkness for a huge LOTR style battle, much as I wanted it to happen. But it’s still kinda... odd that, presumably, the only ones going to the graveyard with the intention of the final battle is SDG, Mickey, Riku, Kairi, and Lea. Yen Sid, your plan was to send seven people and that’s it? Get some help! Call in Aeleus and Ienzo and Dilan! Call the HB Restoration Committee! Call the three fairies! Or maybe you can con Pete and Maleficent into helping out? XD
