Well I would imagine the E3 trailer for 2.8 has to have release info for west at least. As for KH3 who the heck knows. Jump Festa maybe if it's 1st half of 2017?

The fact that I know nothing of what you're saying tells me I've gotten lost in the story. No idea whats going on anymore.

As of this weekend I kinda feel like we need to kick Nomura out and get JJ Abrams to direct Kingdom Hearts 4.

spoilers:
if it means anything, the fact that the voices of Riku, Kairi, Ventus, Terra, and Aqua are also the voices of the five foretellers could be pretty important since Kingdom Hearts games often have a "Trio" or a group of three friends (Sora, Riku, Kairi and Roxas, Axel, Xion and finally Terra, Ventus, Aqua) and Sora doesn't voice any of the foretellers BUT there's supposed to be this one other guy who was banished or wasn't given a book whatever. This could mean that Sora might be connected to the 6th foreteller. You know, because he's the only left from those two groups and there's another foreteller? lol
well..technically no since they were introduced in kh chi but the book of prophecies was mentioned by maleficent in kh RE:Coded: The Movie.

HD localization is hard.
I do like how Astro Blaster functions similar to a shotlock, it's nice to have a remnant/nod to Birth By Sleeps gameplay in 3. (or more Osaka teams influence on the gameplay) Now i'm a bit more confident on 3's battlesystem working with Aqua in 0.2 while still feeling a bit natural to Birth By Sleep Aqua players.
But other than that i'm a bit underwhelmed by the trailer. The Aqua gameplay that was shown at D23 is nowhere to be seen and was what I was looking forward to the most, and the group scene at the end of the D23 trailer is nowhere to be seen, regardless still nice to get some new footage.

Well that lends even more credibility to this Chi theory now (also spoilers I guess if you click on it)

It's hard getting it to all those towns.
Heres to another two if we get a PS4 collection
No joke, I would pay a good amount of money to play the 100 acre wood minigames in VR.

HAHAHA
i wonder if they are gonna keep that with the dub but yeah KHchi spoiler
that 6th one is gonna have Sora VA
So what's the bet for 2.8's release date for Japan? I feel like we'll get another Q3/Q4 release with the English one a few, or couple of months after but I really really miss early year releases for Kingdom Hearts so i'd love it if I got suprised and got a date for Q1/Q2 of next year.

I'm gonna bet Spring. I doubt Square wants this out when FFXV is destined to take the spotlight
Guys, am I the only one who has seen UE4 Riku and Kairi for the first time? That alone was worth the anticipation 
But yeah, the KH3 trailer was kind of underwhelming. Show us new worlds! We already know that Tangled is gonna be in!
And still no release window. Not even for KH 2.8

Yeah, that was wack. I'm surprised that they think that kind of footage is acceptable. Half of the video focusing on another handheld game that I already played, it's really typical. Then the last half showing off stuff that we kind of already know about, no release date, no release window. We're starting to roll into 2016. They can't expect me to be so accepting of how long this is taking, sorry Square.
EDIT: At this point I don't care about why it's taking so long, what's going on behind the scenes, why they keep re-releasing old games, none of that matters. What matters is that it's almost 2016 and they're still fucking with us (me).

Kingdom Hearts 3 is only going to be released in 2017, at best, anyway. Would love to be wrong but this is Square at work. MAYBE at E3 we're going to see one new world.
I'm kinda disappointed that they didn't show a release date for 2.8 though. I guess it will only release at the end of next year...

They're just the faction leaders all fighting over the light to save the world.

I have a theory that one of the Foretellers is a traitor.

Oh my god if they go the

Don't judge me but I wouldn't mind if they did that
You want them to basically repeat something they've been repeating since KH1?

Honestly though, thinking about it now, I'd actually be okay with that. It:
The more I think about, the better it actually sounds.
- Fits in thematically with the series theme of "Destiny"
- Would explain Xehanort's keyblade; He's a reincarnation of the traitor to the foretellers. He's fated to get that keyblade, because he's fated to be the one to ensure that the Keyblade War happens.
- Considering this whole thing has nothing to do with Sora, it actually still remains consistent with the idea of Sora just being a normal, good, hearted kid who just happened to be pulled in to all of this. An idea that's been a part of the series as far back as KH1. (Sora more or less being the delivery boy for what was supposed to be Riku's keyblade)

The voice acting is confirming the Rebirth theory which has been floating around for a long time.
if this is the case, then it is should be safe to assume Aqua's magic transcends fate.

So since we're talking about it, and all, sort of...
Where the hell is Unchained Key?
I was hoping for some kind of surprise launch/release trailer last night, but...nothing.
They gave it a "2015" release date for North America,but there's barely any 2015 left and there hasn't been any news or word of it since the summer.
DDD on the 3DS already had a type of Achievements system...and some of them are incredibly tedious.
There's also separate trophies for beating the game on every different difficulty level, and beating the game on one difficulty DOESN'T give you any trophies for the "easier" difficulties.
You want to "Platinum" DDD you have to play it through at least thrice.
I'm currently on my Critical Mode playthrough - the third and final.
You know how Critical mode in !! Final Mix is called the game's "real" difficulty, and it's some of the best balance and tension the series has had yet?
Critical Mode in DDD is not like that. Things just one shot you out of nowhere, constantly.

Yeah, Critical Mode in Dream Drop Distance is an exercise in frustration.
Weird how they dropped the ball with the in-game trophies when DDD Re:Coded had some really creative trophies (I'd argue better than HD Remix PSN trophes, actually) like the trophy for beating the game under Level 15, beating a world with your Max HP set to 1., or the various speedrun trophies. Only KH1 HD really did anything similar.
