I recently remembered something I realized not so long ago. It has been confirmed that every keyblade featured in Kingdom hearts 3 will have a keyblade transformation. The KH series typically bases it's keyblades after an entire Disney World, Character, or Theme. However, there are a select few that are based off of FF character weapons; my personal favorite being the Fenrir.
Now, what could this mean for KH3? If KH2's keyblades all had transformations, Fenrir, Sleeping Lion, Gullwing, and Guardian Soul's transformations would likely mimic their Final Fantasy weapon counterparts.
So what I'm saying is, if those 3 keyblades were in KH3, they would all have keyblade transformations . And subsequently, those transformations would likely mimic their Final Fantasy counterparts! To some degree anyway. Fenir is based off of Kingdom Hearts representation of Cloud's Buster Sword. Sleeping Lion is based and inspired by Leon's Gunblade. So in short, I believe Fenrir would transform into a Buster Sword, and Sleeping Lion into a Gunblade. I'm not saying with 100% accuracy or anything, but at the very least a loosely based resemblance in the visual aesthetic and overall functionality. There is also the matter of keyblade evolution. Something we have seen in a couple of the KH "spinoff" titles - where a keyblade starts off one way, but ultimately transforms into a slightly different keyblade overtime. I see so much potential for this idea, and I think it will make it into the game since I believe Final Fantasy keyblades will return in KH3 - since Final Fantasy characters have been confirmed to play a bigger role than in the past few titles, and because every keyblade has a transformation.
So now my question to you all. What kind of Final Fantasy or Square Enix based keyblades would you like to see in KH3, along with what you'd like it to transform into and how it would work. If you'd like to share, I'd also like to know how you'd like the actual keyblade to evolve over time if that is a feature in 3. I also thought that maybe keyblade transformations could get stronger too! Just like Drive Form abilities did in KH2. Take the Fenrir for example. It's keybade transformation would likely be a buster sword. It's LVL.1 transformation may be a small buster sword. It's LVL.2, a full sized one. It's LVL.3 transformation could be an overly large and exaggerated buster sword! I don't want Star Wars to enter KH3, but I wouldn't mind a little represnation like a Lightsaber Keyblade. And it's transformation could be just as you would guess; a lightsaber (or lightsaber-esque) transformation. So I'd like to hear your ideas for FF/Square Enix based transformations.
Here are some of mine:
TWEWY: There was one keyblade called the Skull Noise in DDD. In this transformation, perhaps he could grow Reaper wings (like they did in the game), and Sora's magic could turn into the stylized magic from that game or something. No-Heart's keyblade also transformed into Wings in BBS Final Mix. In any case, I'm sure it could be based off the many pins that the game has to offer, as reaper wings may not fit Sora's charcter.
Chrono Trigger: I like Crono's final weapon, Rainbow or Dreamseeker. I'd love to see a keyblade based off the color of that blade. No particular ideas on the transformation, but Chrono Trigger may never make it into the KH series anyway lol.
Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning: She has some sort of Gunblade hybrid thing going on. If Squall's keyblade doesn't return, I think a keyblade based off of her's would be very well accepted. It's transformation would likely be a gunblade highbrid, in which Sora utilizes sword swings and magic bullets, like with Wisdom Form.
Final Fantasy XV, Noctis: This keyblade would of course be based off of the phantom sword. It's transformation would of course be...the Phantom Sword! When Noctis utilizes it, all of the weapons he is holding are called forth and utilized. Sora would have a watered down or different version of course. I doubt Nomura would allow for a direct clone, or have multiple keyblades swirling around Sora (as amazing as that would be) I was thinking along the lines of Ventus's Wingblade. I think the transformation could be more reminiscent of that.
So, while I like the concept, my actual ideas aren't as creative as I'm sure a lot of yours can be, so I'd like to hear what kind of FF/Square enix based keyblades and Transformations you guys would like to see in KH3. Even for regular Disney and Disney property ones like Star Wars, Pixar, and Ma.......Marv.......that other one....that I really don't want to see lol Goofy=captain america shield, Donald=Thor Hammer...that's enough KHxMarvel for me...Anyway, there are plenty of unique FF/Square Enix characters and weapons to choose from.
