Oh you heard about the UX live service remake too, didn’t you? 😭
I heard it was 358/2 Days as a Service with new missions added every month, a microtransaction store to buy new Keyblades and joke weapons, purchasable emotes for the coliseum, new playable Organisation member / Kingdom Hearts character added every couple of months, and a new world added with each expansion.

Switch 2 got announced before Missing Link came out.

(Almost forgot that one)
I was surprised fellowing Kingdomers hadn't made that post by the time I woke up.

I joked about all this but I realised this would get my money in a heartbeat. After all I'm pretty sure I'm one of like 10 who was buying their Dissidia NT DLC, I'd buy a whole bunch of useless stuff like emotes or an upgraded fire aura for a Kingdom Hearts online game.

We have our first rumor of a game announcement coming to Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo. I’m hoping there will be a panel for games that will include KH4. It would be the biggest missed opportunity if they fail to reveal the Star Wars world there.

There are several other games we need updates on like Star Wars Eclipse, KOTOR Remake, the next Jedi installment, and Amy Hennig’s Star Wars game. So I think a game panel has a decent chance of happening.

Never underestimate Kingdom Hearts's ability to miss opportunities. It is unmatched

True that. I only think it will be there if they re-reveal it somewhere else before then. A trailer there would focus mostly on the Star Wars elements, which I don’t think would be the best re-introduction to the game. We need something that gives us another look at Quadratum and sets up the original story a bit first. Then the SWC trailer could open immediately into the Star Wars world.

Lightsaber keyblade/Sora vs Darth Vader doesn't need a SW event to get 5 million views. SE marketing isn't always perfect but they know the Star Wars trailer is their most important one. I'm sure they want to be careful to upload it at a time where lots of gamers specifically are watching.

I guess it depends on timing so people are awake, but wouldn’t a livestream of a video game showcase from a Star Wars event attract a lot of gamers? Toy Story was the highest viewed KH3 trailer and debuted at D23.

As I sliced open a warrior's head in Skydance's Behemoth, it made me really wish Square Enix had put the effort into a proper Kingdom Hearts VR game.

The experience on PSVR was fine but so short and overall blah, and the cancelled game at least looked like they'd have done battles properly but that still didn't make it far.

The technology has evolved to really allow you to run, attack, and cast spells in real time against enemies so seamlessly, it would have been a delight to fight Heartless in VR. And even if they didn't want to do that, a non-canon Coded sequel where you're Mickey looking down on Sora in a platforming game would have been great too. I've been playing Max Mustard and thinking something similar with Kingdom Hearts would have been nice.

Also I'm bitter that Square Enix won't do a VR mode for FFVII Rebirth mini-games either. This is the problem with cancelling outsourcing smaller AA titles, you lose all the projects that had whimsy and delight.

NGL, part of me kinda hope VR was the big thing for Switch 2. Like it would still be a handheld/console hybrid primarily, but the tablet could also go into a headset shell so it could double (triple?) As a VR device. Heck, they teased it with Labo and never followed up on it.

Well TikTok being banned is going to give me even more time to make even more insufferable theories and speculation on this site!

Also, I hope Square Enix hasn’t decided to outsource operations of Missing Link or any other mobile games to Chinese companies like they did with FFXIV Mobile and Octopath: CotC. Marvel Snap falls under the ban of ByteDance and is now banned in the US as well. So if they decide to expand this to other Chinese tech companies like Tencent, these games could be banned as well.

Saw a rumour that Funko are making a new line of Kingdom Hearts pops for release this summer (Roxas, Xion, Xehanort, Lingering Will).

Last time the funkos were coming out it was alongside KH3 and then that dried up once the game was out so I’m definitely 👀 if this is true
