Going back to the topic of long waits for games these days, here's another one
Having to reboot with different studio+covid+game likely to have a long development anyway if you're expecting it to be as big a deal as BotW & SMO=Completely understandable length of of time all things considered.

"return of a character that will literally blow fans' minds"

My favorite quote from that tall stack of bullshit simply because there is no character return in KH that'd blow anyone's mind. We have spent the last twelve years marinating in constant character returns.
If we really wanna be pedantic about it, any Disney owned character could count as "a return" regardless of whether they've already appeared in KH or not. Like Luke Skywalker would be a "return" for the character in the meta sense.

Only two I can think of are Cloud and Seph really

I get the feeling they are running with the idea that’s been suggested by myself and others of a trailer ending with the scene of Xehanort in Miyashita Park from Nomura’s artwork. It would only be a surprise to casual fans.

oooooooh

they were so thin in nomura's artwork i didnt even acknowledge them as the beams in the photograph

Aleah they are a little hard to see there for sure. Also, consider the context clues surrounding Xehanort expressing he wanted a 14th lifetime in Dark Road. And the 13 question Dark Road finale Q&A the art is from highlighted questions 4 and 10, which add up to 14.

It’s all pointing to him living his 14th life in Quadratum.

I'd say Cloud/Sephiroth/Zack would do it for me, since we've kinda assumed they aren't coming back for a long time now.

Dark Road's the only KH media I haven't checked out so this talk about a 14th lifetime went wayyyy over my head.

Imma need to watch the cutscenes before ML drops for sure.

Oh yeah I definitely recommend watching the cutscenes. It’s really a great story and it is shame it locked behind such grindy and lifeless gameplay.

Considering the finale of Dark Road was in 2022, I wonder if we have been overthinking Nomura’s comment about what “changed the direction” of the series. He said whatever it was happened in 2022, so the timing lines up. Maybe he was really just referring to this development in Dark Road hinting toward Xehanort still being around for KH4. I wouldn’t be surprised if this maybe wasn’t his initial plan, but decided to pursue the idea as he was wrapping up Dark Road.

Why would they say an update is coming in the near future when there’s no update coming in the near future 👀

It’s still too early I fear. ML however, should’ve been in our mitts millennia ago.

In all directions? wtf
I would not translate it like that at all. But I'm not a professional, so maybe there's something I'm missing.
Japanese is an interesting language, that’s for sure. Perhaps they mean “in all aspects”…?

My interpretation is that they are working on several things.

But, maybe they used "direction" to link it to the concert statement?

"Last year, there was an event that determined the direction of the Kingdom Hearts series going forward."

🤔

Can you believe someone tried tellin' me it was specifically in a good context based on a not so accurate translator and some people who went there?


...and why the hell are we talkin about what "mind-blowing character" it would be anyway when the "leak" that even brought it up is from someone who is so blatantly fake it's annoying?

Sometimes it’s fun to pretend something is real, just ask Midori. 🤭

Why did you post it here at all if you didn’t want people to discuss it? No one is taking it seriously. We’re just talking about how they are likely coming up with their BS.
