I'm gonna say it now (and I hope to God I'm wrong) but if we don't get any news by the time we reach the 23rd anniversary then I fear it's suffering from the curse of Versus XIII and will be stuck in development hell for a decade before something happens.

Which is why I feel like they'll have a Jump Festa presence in December.

I hope, at least.
We've been hopeful for so long and every event has had nothing, wouldn't surprise me if we get everything from Square but KH4.

I hope we get a surprise trailer of a Star Wars world one of these days. I guess we don't even need events, just drop a trailer eventually lol.

They did a pretty good job on Stitch's live action design

Yeah I agree. Just hope they can pull off Jumba and Pleakley’s looks.

Also, with the KH series being removed from PS Plus on the 18th, maybe it could be a sign there’s going to be news relatively soon? They’d probably prefer people to buy the games outright once it is back in the spotlight.

Also, we’re gonna need one of these figures with Sora’s KH4 model.

They definitely seem to be distancing themselves from Dr. Facilier… especially considering they include Yzma here, but not him. Makes me doubt we’ll ever see him as a KH villain.

Even more so than the inclusion of Yzma is the fact they have Maleficent on here twice… Damn that’s disappointing, I understand the controversy but Facilier would be such a dope inclusion to KH

I'm not some counter culture edgelord but there's a part of me that's like... really? Cruella gets the yass queen treatment but Dr. Facilier, one of Disney's final cool villains before all their movies became about generational trauma, was RECENTLY discovered to be so offensive that he can't even be depicted anymore? Perfectly fine in 2009, outlawed a decade and some change later?

While Pocahontas still gets to hang out with the other princesses? While Merida's sole joke in Wreck It Ralph 2 is that her GHASTLY, UNATTRACTIVE accent makes her too hard to understand (as if she's even saying anything of worth anyway)? While Mickey's basic design has identifiable elements tying it to extremely offensive minstrel shows? While the often used Hades is and always will be based upon and voiced by a birther movement bigot and serial sexual harasser?

Is there an audience of people who were offended by Facilier but will now return to engage with PATF media now that he's been removed from it, despite voodoo and curses still being the impetus for the entire story?

Evil Queen is on there twice too counting her hag form. 😭

Yeah I personally have not seen the criticism of this character on a level compared to others. That’s not to say it isn’t out there, but it seems like an over-correction to erase him. If the concern is that the film portrays voodoo in a negative light, I would argue that it shows both sides as Mama Odie is (or was) a Voodoo Queen representing the light side. I honestly think they are more concerned with not offending religious people by including voodoo than they are about respecting that culture.

We placing bets on if the Twitter account acknowledges the 20th anniversary of CoM?

unless it's in the form of making it available on NSO, I don't wanna hear it!! Extremely good game with such good spritework, it's beyond looney that it hasn't been made playable in any fashion since the GBA days. I highly recommend a playthrough... Something about it carries a KH1 mystique that the PS2 remake somehow erodes. Maybe it's the super hammy voice acting?

Love Chain of Memories's story to bits. Just everyone out to mess with Sora and the double crosses/betrayals going on with the Organization. I'm more familiar with the PS2 version (and yeah there's definitely bits of it that stick out and say "I was made for the GBA in mind") but they certainly knew how to push the little portable fella to its limits too - nice looking graphics, some FMV footage and even the whole of Simple and Clean in very nice quality (more than I can say for other GBA games that tried to stick in licensed music - Tony Hawk's Underground 2 had some real dreadful sounding cut down tracks that sounded like everyone singing the songs was drowning).
