Yay for KHIV! I'm so glad they kept the numerals! Down with the side games! I didn't even watch the trailers for the first two things, never playing them.
My guess is this fight in Quadratum is simply the beginning of the game, like Darkside at Destiny Islands or Twilight Thorn in Twilight Town. At least, I don't want to be in one city the whole game, nope. And maybe this means the Coliseum will be a world yet again... <3 I'd love it just to hear the fanbase's heads explode.
I don't mind the change to Sora so much, he honestly looks better, it doesn't bother me as much as how they changed Riku's eyes. Although I think they're aging these characters fast if they want this series to keep going forever. The XIII stuff is just... *sigh* Felt the same about seeing Black Coats again. The girl definitely belongs to Quadratum. I see others calling her Strelitzia--I don't pay any attention to the mobile games, so I had no idea. Even with Sora having changed to a degree (and maybe this is merely a world transformation for Sora to look more "realistic" and he'll look like he did in 3 once he goes back to the RoL?), the girl definitely stands apart from him and looks kind of strange alongside him to me.
Since it's "early development," I don't expect it before Fall 2024. And that's probably being optimistic--I can imagine it ending up in spring 2025. Makes me laugh that people were thinking it would be 2023. Probably young and pure fans who came in with 3 and haven't been here long enough to become jaded to the way this goes yet.
What if KH4 is going to work like DDD? We know that Riku is in Quadratum, but we don’t know if there are two alternate realities of this world (like the worlds in DDD).
What if Riku arrives in the Yozora version of Quadratum and Sora in that version of Quadratum where the TWEWY cast lives? If we consider what Strelitzia said, that this world for the two of them works like an afterworld…
I know it isn't going to happen with Riku having already went to Quadratum at the end of MoM (at least, I believe so? I haven't played it in a while)--I'd love Sora in Quadratum while the other scenario is Riku, Donald, and Goofy going through Disney worlds that are connected to death in some fashion, seeing if they could find a way in, so to speak. The Underworld as well as TP&TF and Coco as previously mentioned. I suppose Soul deals with death, although I've never seen it.
