I'm 90% sure that it was either having Sora getting 'norted or just ending the story with him stuck in a coma after Riku & co.'s Big Damn Heroes moment. The latter's probably more likely.

Translation: "Yes, it will happen."
^Exactly.
However this Mark of Mastery could be a case similar to DDD's and Yen Sid is once again putting Sora through an unconventional test to boost his power.

? You're telling they had another planned ending? not involving the series-damning time travel?

I have a strong feeling that time travel would still be involved. Otherwise, how would you explain Young Trollanort's existence in the present? Or Xemnas, or Ansem SoD, or...

it could have been chalked up to dreams, which if properly utilized would have been amazing. instead they fucked it up with this marty mcfly bullshit.

I'm imagining the ending would've been the scene in The World That Never Was with Sora going lights out with Xigbar/Braig walking towards him, leaving a cliffhanger about what happens to him. (At least they say the ending wasn't "happy.").

Exactly. The entire point of DDD was introducing the Sleeping worlds and Dream realm, with Xehanort using that power to create more versions of himself. They already had this to set up his resurrection/clones coming into being easily, but no, it needed to be more "complicated" than that.

they never said ot was unhappy or dark, just rejected which leads to a lot of assumption. it could have been a happy go lucky 90s pipedream and bad trip that was rejected because it was so odd but people just assume "nah, bad end".
It's easy then. Sora just wouldn't have looked like a stupid clown in the end. Case closed.
It is, just hope that's world wide.

that was fucking great AND YOU KNOW IT.
It was. I'm glad it turned out this way. I really liked the ending scenes with him and Riku. Really really.
I want to jump on the discussion of other playable characters! I think KH3 is going to stick with the style from other main games. Meaning, you only play as Sora or another version of Sora (obviously I'm talking about Roxas in KH2). So maybe Xion or Roxas again in KH3. They are likely to be returning in KH3 to be saved anyway so why not play as them.
Well it's pretty obvious Aqua will be playable, since they're going to all this effort to create animations and attacks for her to use in 2.8 and they can just port that into 3 (even if it's just the same scenario but no doubt that might piss off the casual fans who bought 2.8 just for a taste of KHIII).
Thanks for the article Zephyr! Before now I've never seen Luminous and Unreal side by side and I love the difference each makes. Unreal Engine is still my ultimate favourite, just makes everything look better without all the hassle Luminous brings.
And good on Nomura for confirming that they had to start from scratch after the Luminous fail. It's a good thing they had all the concept art ready since the Unreal production must have started as early as September / October 2014 since it was first reported in December 2014 (unless Luminous was scrapped quite early in production and they kept the change quiet for over a year).
Give me that Mirage Arena with everyone playable please Square Enix. Even if you make it a Dissidia spin-off and remove Disney characters, you have enough original to make it work. The areas are big enough to do it. Rapunzel's tower looks to be the same area size as Besaid Island.

I love the Unreal Engine graphics as well! They just make everything pop out.
Exactly. I'm sure Yen Sid's tower would have looked great in Luminous, but there's something about the skybox and the grass in Unreal that just makes everything have a "Kingdom Hearts" feel to it.
When I first saw the E3 trailer, I thought it looked great but it didn't feel like "Kingdom Hearts" usually does. Unreal fixed that and I'm so glad.
I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I love how Donald looks in the environment of the worlds.
And Twilight Town looks more bright and afternoon-like. It looked nice in Luminous, but it looks even better in Unreal.
