I think a good chunk of Cruella’s popularity and part of why she’s a classic has to do with her memorable, iconic design.

Nice nostalgic memories with that 102 Dalmatians game. Managed to get it back for my PS1 collection a long while ago and it's not a bad little platformer. Nothing amazing but it sure beats that movie any day.

You guys sure are talking a lot of shit about the Prince Charming movie, but I bet you'd suddenly be singing a different tune if you found out that a certain long-time KHinsider poster was going to be playing the role of the prince.

Yeah. You can apologize now.

Oh wow, so sorry Chris Hemsworth! Had no idea you were a KH fan!

You aren’t fooling anyone, Chris Hemsworth.
No, no. They said they wanted to go with an unknown (me). I'm literally devastated. Do not make a joke out of me. Do you understand? They made it seem like I was the one who would get the role. I'm shaking. They gave it to a fucking Marvel actor.

I was going to use my new connections to Disney to inquire about KH. But now I'm just back to being a regular poster... IN THE MIDDLE OF A 2 AND A HALF YEAR NEWS DROUGHT... SHIT!

Me, I keep my exptactions low. All I want out of the Switch 2 is native ports of all the old games, a Days remake, and a spinoff with playable Kairi.

I know the idea of a KH Warriors game is something I pretty much completely invented inside my head and all, but I am really feeling like it's a massive missed opportunity lately. It would cover a whole lot of bases for what I want: a game where all of the GoL, including Kairi, are playable. A game that'll likely have an offline Switch version. And it's be a KH game with like 200 something hours of shit to do before you ever reach 100% completion. Like holy shit, I've sunk over 400 hours into Hyrule Warriors and I'm still probably only like 80% done.* A musou would certainly give me something to do for a very long time while I wait on KH4.

*And that's just count the Switch version. Could probably tack on another 150 hours between Wii U and 3DS tbh.

Ironically, I'd actually like if something like this existed. Not to yum-yuck but KH3's combat often veered into Dynasty Warriors territory more than I ever would have liked. A lot of Keyblades, Attractions, and spells were only different in how they looked without having very much mechanical difference. All transformation finishers are just a different flavor of AOE. Team Attacks are pretty much the same, pretty cutscenes that deal damage.

If it takes a warriors-esque kill-all-the-heartless-with-your-big-ass type game to get that type of design philosophy out of Kingdom Hearts in favor of something a bit more sophisticated, it'd be a win-win. Those Warriors games are relatively simple in concept so it'd come out quick enough to give everyone some flashy KH fun.

Personally, I want KH4 to lower the amount of on-screen enemies and make each enemy more aggressive, varied, and smart. Too many enemies in KH3 would just walk around, waiting to be attacked without doing anything, probably because there were too many guys on screen for them all to be attacking at once.

A KH Warriors game would be so perfect. Think of all the characters, worlds, monster types, and entire realities to play with. And it would be the superior place for lore dumps instead of in yet another prequel gacha. If only...

Looks like D23 Brazil will have some exclusive previews of some upcoming games. Not expecting anything for KH, but worth keeping an eye on I guess.

I can think of a few scenarios such a game could cover:

1. Days in between. Org13 already feels like a warriors roster with their different weapons/fighting styles (I reiterate my surprise we don't already have a KHW) and they have nobodies as their allied troops. Since not all 358 days were actually covered in 358/2 Days so they can BS retcon a whole new Days storyline that apparently happened in between missions from the DS game.

2. Maleficent's Nightmare. Assuming that Maleficent was doing something to prepare during that time skip before Limit Cut (a big assumption, I know), Maleficent could be the big bad of the 1st half. Essentially her new master plan involves her power over Sleep (IE that spinning wheel in her movie of origin) to try and merge the realms of sleep and light into 1 reality that she can rule over. This allows for spirit dream eaters to serve the role of allied forces for the heroes (which seems to be a requirement for these sorts of games) and an easy way to explain things like say, dead Disney villains coming back because it's just dream versions of them.

Additionally, the Datascape could be involved as well given Maleficent's past interest in it. Assuming that KBW takes place during KH4 as a means of showing what the other characters have been up to while Sora and Riku in KHvs13, the game could still have Sora and Riku as playable characters by making it the data versions.

Eventually, Maleficent is defeated again, clearing the way for the 2nd half.....

3. Keyblade War III. 1 of my longest still running fan theories is that there'll someday be a new keyblade war that happens in Sora's time period. More and more seeds have been planted to foreshadow this IMO. From Vanitas saying in BBS the summoning of Kingdom Hearts will bring keyblade wielders from far away, to the fate of the dandelions, to the introduction of Scala as the "seat of power" for keyblade wielders, to the return of the foretellers that started the last war; the bodies are certainly there to start a new one.

Maleficent's mucking about with dream eaters and data gives the heroes and foretellers the opening needed to revive the Dandelions while outward wielders finally complete their apparently year long trek to the inner worlds, and there's still bunch living in Scala who are now involved in the plot. The Foretellers get right back to their infighting, triggering another war.

Hell, I half expect KH4 to end with Sora and Riku returning to RoL only to discover the whole place has gone to hell due to the war happening off-screen as a shock twist ending.

Twilight Town and Radiant Garden have been completely destroyed, Destiny Islands is abandoned, there are countless wielders everywhere attacking the duo on site, and the 1st friendly face they see is a greying middle aged Aladdin who has the Three Wishes keyblade in hand. Just as Sora calls out Aladdin's name, BOOM, hard cut to black, credits roll. "When you walk away". Fandom spends next 7 years discussing wtf just happened.

And then we get the musou as the prequel to all of that and KH5 showing what comes next.

Yeah, if we don't get anything this year, I'm hoping we get an update in March 2025 for KH's anniversary but we'll see.
