Well, I suppose it's nice to see such fervor in fans of the series (though I will admit ElectriKeyblade might be taking that fervor a bit close to the point of obsession, but hey- to each their own.). I have one important question however, to both the supporters and opponents of KH3. I believe it was Version X that pointed out on another thread that for most games to survive any number of sequels, they need to undergo a drastic enough change to justify the new game. While Kingdom Hearts 2 seems to be promising more than enough of this to keep fan interest peaked, one must ask- what would be left for KH3? Now of course, a great deal of that answer will have to wait until KH2 comes out and we see how the story progresses, but until then I suppose a bit of speculation couldn't hurt.
So here's my idea: why does Sora always get the spotlight? Now before all the Sora-fanatics leap forward to their keyboards with vicious snarls ready to rip me apart for this comment, let me expand on this. I personally really like the character of Sora, and I think he is the ideal main character for this series. That is not to say that he is the only character well-fitted for the series however. One of the great features from Kingdom Hearts is the incredibly interesting and involved cast in it. Granted they took a lot of already-developed characters from FF and Disney, but their own creations proved quite able to hold their own against even such distinguished people ranging from Cloud to Jafar. So why not put some more emphasis on these characters, the most obvious being Kairi, Riku, and possibly BHK (we still don't know much about him though). I personally would be quite pleased if they were to come out with a new Kingdom Hearts sporting a double, or even triple, playable storyline. If anyone ever played the Sonic game for Nintendo Gamecube featuring both the hero side and the dark side, you know what I'm talking about. The best thing would be that, with a carefully enough designed overrall plot, you could interact with characters from the other storylines to the extent that all three really form one coherant master-storyline while still having each seperate "side" with its own unique gameplay.
Granted this has a few problems, the number one being that it would require a lot of work and extremely careful planning, resulting in a game that would take even longer than KH2 to come out. Still, if it could be pulled off, I think it might just be the thing that could really push the series into gaming hall-of-fame (not that the original Kingdom Hearts and KH2 aren't amazing enough already mind you- it's just a possible addition I thought of). Well, I've written a ridiculously long post that has very little connection to the actual topic of this thread, so I suppose I had better shut up now before anyone else falls asleep reading this. Oh, and a quick note to ElectriKeyblade (you may not remember, but I mentioned you WAY back at the beginning of this post)- no offense intended about your fervor. I understand.
