Will we ever get news on that PS4. I wonder why they announced the way they did if they had no purchase path planned for the near future.

I just want to know what happened with the in Sora's lap. It seemed to hint at something important and it was just removed.

I think I prefer the design of this PS4 Slim compared to the previously-announced Pro. While I really like the ornamental motif of the Pro - and being a Pro at all I favour it more compared to this Slim - it's a bit too cluttered. This simpler design is much easier on the eyes.

That theme is pretty sweet, too. Though I really hope that Square-Enix come out with some nice themes, preferably dynamic ones, for people who don't buy these PS4s or aren't buying the game digitally.

It's beautiful! Both of the KH3 PS4s are stunning in their own ways but this one feels more like a KH themed console to me.

One of the nicer themed PS4s. I'd be satisfied with just a theme of this though.

Agreed. No need to replace the old machine, but I'd slam down a fiver for this theme.

What I think is so unfair about all these pre-order bonuses is that SE is forcing us to pre-order from their own shop cause they wouldn't make the CE available anywhere else and won't even give us any kind of bonus for it.

I didn't know what you were talking about so I've searched "trone Sora" and I found the B&W version of that image, the one released for the 15th anniversary on March 28th, and you are right. There was an animal like a dog or fox in Sora's lap, albeit partially hidden by the letters in the image. I remember now that there was some speculation about it but as you said it has been removed now.
I wonder what could it mean...
If it is a fox, lady Ava comes to my mind.

I also wonder what's in those frames... the wallpaper has empty frames. UGH. Is there some way to undo the blur effect?

At TGS, the frames had pictures of Kairi, Riku, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. Then there were three blank frames, likely referencing the three Guardians of Light yet to be revealed. In the PS4 theme, the frames just have some of the symbols from the series.

The top left corner appears to be Cloud, with the bottom right corner definitely being Neku. With FFVII Remake on the way and TWEWY: Final Remix now released, the pictures could be representing other games Square Enix will be releasing, specifically games Nomura is involved in, rather than characters who've appeared in KH or who'll appear in KH3.

First of all: That it's such a cool PS4 and I want it! Although it's unfair it's a Japan only console so... I guess not :(

Second of all: According to Nomura, they blurred out the images on the frames because they revealed spoilers of some sort. People theorized back then of the imasges being of the unrevealed worlds and they might have been right. If you count the frames on the PS4 theme there are 9 frames and we have 8 worlds so far (7 if you don't count Winnie the Pooh as it's own world), thus leading to the belief of the recently announced trailers to reveal one or two worlds to complete the 9 we have been expecting.

So yeah, I think it's quite clear it hints to something. I even think that MAYBE the theme might fill the blank frames once you advance a world in the game? That would be neat as well :D

I was gonna say I expect the full theme to include spoilers but a theme that read saved data would be even cooler, the further you progress the more the frames fill.
