Def not a no brainer. its possible but SE hasn't introduced a final fantasy character past FFX
We may see somebody, but i dont think we're gonna see Noct or Lighting
not yet
we'll see tho
Lightning and Noctis are both Nomura's creations. They are gonna be in. I'll bet anything on it. Just like i'll bet anything that Frozen is in. I said the same thing about Toy Story years ago. Star wars is the only toss up for me. The fact they haven't introduced a FF character pass 10 means nothing. The world ends with you was the focus for the cameos in DDD(More of Nomura's creations) and thats the only "main" title between BBS and 3.
Star Wars Frozen and Toy Story are all no brainers imo.
Roxas will def be saved before the end and Ven will be saved during the middle
YX backstory does seem like a good bet, but his backstory will prob will be explaned during cutscenes
Kairi and Lea as characters, nah, cause they have a lot of training to do, then Sora still has some training to do as well (Mark of Mastery anyone?)
But im changing my stance. YX has a good chance, Riku or Ventus/Roxas
Sora's training is going back to Olympus to meet up with Herc and Phil. That's the very first world we go to in KH3. It's already been confirmed. It's why we only see him in his KH2 clothes during Olympus. Most likely he'll go there then go back to Yensid. Yensid will see he has his power back. Grant him title of "Master" and the faries will give him his new clothes. He'll then go on his adventure to find the "Key to unlock hearts"
Another reason YX could be the second character is it's already confirmed the conversation between Young Master Xehanort and Young Eraqus is the opening cutscene. This is probably where we are going to get YX backstory. 2-3 hour playable YX section at the very beginning is very likely.
And then yet ANOTHER reason is Aqua's section in 0.2 was originally the opening for KH3. It got too long so they just released it separately. So in the very early stages Aqua was going to be playable in KH3. Now her story is already told. If Ven was planned to be playable im sure he would of been involved in Aqua's story.
But Kairi's keyblade training being playable makes the most sense to me. As we would be able to see first hand how she got to be strong enough to hold her own with Sora and Riku. Just shoehorning her into the final battle(Because we already know she's one of the 7 lights) with nothing proving to us that she got stronger other then (She used the hyperbolic time chamber from Merlin) would piss off alot of people. Including me.
And about the worlds. I doubt they are counting stuff like (Yensid's tower Twilight Town) as a World. Yet we know most of these worlds HAVE to be in just for the sake of the story.
Yensid's Tower
Twilight Town
Dark Realm
Castle Oblivion
Keyblade Graveyard
Those are 5 worlds that are 100% going to be in. If they count those as their own worlds then there are only 2-3 disney worlds left to be revealed(And thats including BH6 and the inevitable Frozen reveal.) I highly doubt thats the case.
Im not worried about the number of worlds. It'll be fine.
