Have any Final Fantasy characters leaked?

I think Nomura said at some point that there's gonna be zero of them in this one.

A lot of people are pissed the gently caress off about Kairi. Even after becoming a Keyblade wielder, she gets yanked on the arm by Xemnas and doesn't even try to fight back, and even after MX ices her, Sora is all about trying to rationally talk with him during his whole post-final battle speech about the greater good instead of telling him off. Who the gently caress is gonna take that guy for moral guidance?

There is a video floating around that was being called an optional boss but I doubt it's THE optional boss, it seemed way too bland for that. Then again, that's what I thought about DDD so...

It's an Invisible. From the first game, just with jacked up stats. Bland doesn't begin to describe it.

Like I said, I somehow have a feeling that's not the actual optional boss. It's A optional boss but I really doubt it's meant to be a Sephiroth or the like. Going to call it on the 'anyone that plays a game before it officially releases is absurdly terrible at it' clause.

That and nobody knows how big the post release DLC will be or what exactly it entails. I think it's already been said they're gonna expand the ending because yeah...leaving it at that is just asking for trouble. Hey look on the bright side, at least Eraqus and Xehanort got married!

Death didn't do them part. Anime/Disney gay marriage is superior to Sora and Kairi's will they/won't they ship teasing.

I'm wondering now about the true combo potential of this game. I have seen from earlier videos that you can combo with spells, but I haven't really seen any application of this in boss fights, nor have I really seen comboing into different forms and stuff. While the gameplay as presented now is fine, I think once we get our hands on it and are able to experiment with what KH3 has to offer is when we can truly say exactly how good it is. I still doubt it will be better than KH2, but I'm willing to say it's not impossible for it to equal KH2.

EDIT: Plus NOBODY has used Summons in any of the videos.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
I don't want to be super spoiled, I just want to know: have we seen all the Disney worlds in the trailers and commercials or is there at least one surprise?

To those who watched the streams: do you only fight the Org XIII members in the Keyblade Graveyard at the end or do they show up as bosses in the Disney worlds?

By the way, there are others who have also gotten the game early, since stores in the US now have them in stock waiting for the 29th. Some people have streamed a few hours of it already, although obviously the VOD wouldn't be saved. Point is, keep an eye out on Twitch for english streams as well as Japanese.

I think it’s time we disposed of this notion that Tetsuya Nomura doesn’t know what he’s doing. Nomura knows exactly what he is doing.

This is what shows up onscreen when you enter the first world in KH3 :aaaaa:

So out of curiosity, does the game just dump you straight into Olympus Colosseum at the start or is there a prologue of sorts you need to play through first? Also, is Riku playable for more than just one area (and are there any other playable characters besides those two)?

Any sword/shield/staff stuff there? I was always kinda bummed that none of the build choices were ever as robust as KH1, and that's the only game I can think of that let you choose your EXP curve.

I knew we were going to get a "only played the numbered ones? be prepared to have no idea what's going on" thing we got heading into 2, but I am surprised that the mobile game is as relevant as it is.

On a wider mobile game note, based off stuff in the secret reports, i'm surprised Luxu is who Luxu is, since that was my weird KH logic guess for who the Master of Masters could have been, somehow..

It is kinda underwhelming but it’s also comparable to what other KH games had at launch.
KH1’s only optional boss when it came out in Japan was loving Phantom, the lamest, most boring poo poo ever.
KH3’s secret boss is still bland but at least looks well-designed and decently fun.

Honestly, not mad at all since he is doing Xehanort's voice. It will be hard to replace Leonard Nimoy but Rutger will do great.

Luxu appears at the Keyblade graveyard carrying both the box and MoM's Keyblade, all the foretellers sans Ava appear and start talking with Luxu who then removes his hood to reveal himself as Xigbar (half norted and all). They continue talking while they're spied by Maleficent and Pete. The scene then cuts to young MX and Eraqus getting ready to start a new game of chess. But this time MX is playing with seven black pieces (all of the bearing the crests of the Foretellers) while Eraqus just places a white Piece with Sora's emblem before the scene ends.
