Wonder if they'll be implemented as foot accessories, the Foot (and Head2) avatar part categories have existed since forever but still don't have any avatar parts.

Or at least, I've never gotten any avatar parts in those categories since Browser X..

If it's that kind of accessory, then I hope it contains the ability to hit an enemy like an NPC does every 300 quests. Sometimes an extra hit is all I need to finish someone off so this is very welcome.

Just imagine if we could assign them moves and all, I think that'd be great. Like, introduce a new menu that's about these pets, where you can customize them, give them abilities, etc. That'd be way betetr than them just being an accessory! :D

Don't worry guys, we always get these kinds of updates around the same time as JP - we won't have to wait until Global's second anniversary.

I kinda doubt it's connected. Sure, it's possible, but meh, we'll have to see. If the pets are just cosmetics, I don't think they're actually connected - but if they have a story reason behind them? I can totally see it

I definitely don't want PERKS either, they already suck on outfits. But I think some abilities (which you can equip to ANY pet, they should NOT be locked) would be cool.

If it's tied to the story, then it certainly won't be coming in September to global. But we don't know.

In response to other speculation about them, I'd like to think they have much more significance than being a mere accessory with a perk.

I hope they're just generic pets that you can equip with upgrades so we're not all running around with whatever happens to be strongest at the time.

(this is exactly what we all worried about with perks when they were first introduced SE pls)

So now Kingdom Hearts is crossing over with Digimon?! What's next, Sailor Moon?


Joking aside, I'm interested with what their purpose will be. I'm hoping they're able to hit enemies. All too often a Heartless is left with a tiny dot of health after I finish pummeling it, so an extra hit would be welcome.

But I do so very hope they're not part of the story. We got enough to deal with that I don't want to think about how these new mons will play into it.

Eh, not too fond of this. I hated the Dream Eaters and was never too much into pets and the like, so I hope this is for decoration and not for story purposes, but still useful in some way without breaking the game (again). I hope you won't have to collect or level these things because Sena would surely find a way to convert these critters into real money.

Dream Eaters confirmed (look how it says "Spirit Coordinate" under the pink plush thingy in the middle).
So... is this confirmation that the Unchained Realm is tied to/is the Realm of Sleep? We'll see I guess.

Make way for 20 nearly identical "Gummi aviator" boards for them too.

That aside, the only way for me to care about this if they are indeed DE and eventually I can have a baby Ryu Dragon.

Looks like we'll get only one Spirit. The Cat Star and Dog Star heads in the menu are head parts, so it appears as though we'll be able to do a bit of Frankensteining with different heads, ears, bodies, legs and tails on top of accessories.

They better get Avatar Boards. I need something to spend these 3,000+ Coins on.
I wonder if their accessories will have Luck too?

Seems like a fully-fledged party member.

Maybe they're the Darkness Ephemer is feeling? It would definitely make sense to introduce spirits and nightmares at the same time, after all, Chirithy would be enough if there weren't more nightmares around.

Awesome. Very glad to see a level increase! That really gives so much more purpose to raiding for me. Of course, the rewards for being up top in raiding are awesome, but there's no way I could get those rewards with my current responsibilities (plus I just don't think I have the patience to begin with lol), so it's very neat to have a reason to Raid.

The new Avatar Boards will probably be body parts and accessories for your pet.

I hope the Lux requirements aren't astronomical like they were from 250 to 300. Even with the monthly raid event, it'd be really cumbersome to get tens of millions of Lux for one level.

Wat? We always get new features, general updates, etc. at around the same time, or at least within the same week.

Please just stop hating on NA UX so much when there really is no need to. I get complaining about errors and all the differences, I do it myself all the time, but stuff like this is just complaining for the sake of it.

I understand complaints get tiresome (from both sides, honestly) but she's just referring to the new updates being teased in this thread. Of what's been announced, only the pets and level cap increase are likely to roll out concurrently.

Yeah... no. The masks surely are not their faces - not only would they suddenly have a different layer of "skin", that's not even how skin reacts to lightning. Their masks are very reflective and I just don't see how that'd be possible. I think this pic of Ava speaks for itself.

Typically updates of this nature are rolled around to global fairly quickly. Remember, we saw the buff/debuff limit raised from 3 to 7 very quickly after JP got it.

To add onto the Foretellers, their masks and their faces - we get this shot of Gula:



So not only does this shot pretty much support what Muke already said, but even more, we were actually THIS close to seeing a part of Gula's eye since anatomically his eye socket should be somewhere along the red line I added:



So yeah... they're definitely masks since we can partly see what is beneath them from different perspectives.

Well I want one. I hope it will be an option, some people like snakes. And it would be more original than the basic catdog options everything ever always has. Little snek following me around would be so cute.

Especially with the customization menu we've seen. :,D Just imagine: scawy dragon head, huge bunny ears, chubby puppy body, fluffy kitty tail... with snek "legs". xD That is the kind of frankenstein abomination that I want following me around.

Yeah, seems like naming them will be an option. There's also the button with "Coord[inates]" next to it, I can't make out what that last button says though.
The customization categories shown are Head, Ears, Body, Feet, Tail, and Accessory, but it seems like color will be attached to the pet parts themselves. (The parts shown are "Star Cat [Pink]" and "Star Dog [Pink]".)

I'm wondering if that third button is actually part of a different menu that is below the pet menu?
[SPOILER="whips out "fine-detail" glasses"]

A) See where the white arrow's pointing; that's gotta be another button on a layer below the "name" button.
B) Mystery button #3 and curious "white arrow" button corner both appear darker than "name" and "coord".
C) Mystery button #3 appears to curve near the black arrow (as the buttons do on the right-hand edge). If it does, that would make it much shorter than "name" and "coord" which would be odd for buttons in the same menu. (see copy-pasted "coord" button above it for scale)
Conclusion from these three points? Two different menus layered on top of each other. :D[/SPOILER]...All of which don't really matter since we'll be getting them soon enough and we'll know what we're gonna be dealing with then. xDD But it's fun to speculate~



Another speculation I have is that our pet's medals are gonna work like our cards did in chi. See next to the Rank 8 and experience bar, there's an empty medal slot with x1.7? In Ux, that looks like a slot we'd put one of our medals in, but our pet's deck appears separate from that multiplier slot. On the other hand, that setup is just like what we had in ye olde days of chi, where we'd have a deck of 9 and each turn we'd draw a random 3 to attack with~ :D It raises the question though about how the multiplier(s) is/are going to change. If it's just a matter of increasing our pet's rank and therefore will be the same for everyone or if there will be some way that customizing our pet will add an attribute or upright/reverse status to the multiplier(s)...
Again, just speculations that won't mean much in the long run~ ^^);

Judging by the past Kairi medals, she'd be a game breaker once again. If Kairi Ex exists, we'll probably get her in a few months at best.

The composition, the colours, Oathkeeper looks so good, that perspective goddamn wish I could draw like that it's so good. I'm going to start saving for it right now. All the jewels I can get to have a chance at it. Perfect medal perfect art 10/10.

In all honesty I'm wondering why there even is an Ava-medal.

The medals are supposed to represent the powers and people of the future, not the past.

We don't know what happened to any of the Union Leaders. Maybe Ava did get sent to the future somehow through unknown means.

I think you're giving the images on the medals a bit too much credit as far as canon goes.

I mean, what are Key Arts? Toon medals? Film renders from Zootopia and Moana​?

As I said earlier, it has never been stated it needed to be just the far future.
Ava is the past (well, it's the present), but also the nearest future.

- The MoM states to both Ava and Ira that the even written in the Book is going to happen and there's no way to prevent it; while at the very beginning many thought that last passage it was referring to Xehanort, I think after Back Cover it's pretty clear it's something that they could try to prevent, meaning it's in their range of lifespan (meaning it's the War).

- Gula receives the page from the Book that talks about the traitor, and he suspects it refers to one of his comrades, meaning he takes into account that the Foretellers are indeed present in the Book.

In order for the Book to describe the War (that Luxu indeed "recorded" in No Name in 0.2) and for Gula to suspect Aced, there's gotta be mention of the Foretellers in the Book itself.
Also, the Book's content is linked to No Name's eye. I still think that if the eyes are also on the other Foretellers' Keyblades there's gotta be a reason.

The only medals I can think of that might directly go against the "power and people of the future" idea might be the tsum tsums, and yet, they too are a representation of people of the future - just with another stylistic choice than their usual depiction. Same with the toon medals and Key arts are no problem whatsoever, either. Characters from Moana and Zootopia could also make an appearance in future KH projects.

I always assumed Key Arts and group medals were supposed to represent the concept of those people together or something like that.
I remember in X there were cards that were just "Organization XIII". It's like summoning their power as a group rather than as people.

The Japanese version is suppose to cater to players who live IN Japan. The Global version is meant to cater to most people in every other country. Of course they wouldn't run this competition, it would be a nightmare with logistics, contracts, international shipping, power points (these are different all around the world, you would most likely need an adaptor).

I wonder if all of them will get BGM?
