An Artist Articulating That Things are Alright

Hiya, family! My name is Shanna and I'm a young Christian woman. As for my fandoms: I'm a huge Square Enix fan (despite their reconstructing taking forever -sobs-). I love Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, The World Ends With You, Bravely Default, Parasite Eve... you name it. I'm really just a video game girly. Buffy and Angel are my life.

Well, it looks like so far, we know that Tai Yasue, Haley Joel Osment, and David Gallagher will be at D23.

When I was half-asleep recently, I somehow ended up thinking of an AU where Sora cast Aeroga on Kairi to protect her during the Keyblade War. And you know what? That actually would have been pretty goated.

I had a dream the other night... that when Buffy lost Angel, she sang "Once Was Mine" from Tangled. Which actually is kind of fitting, yeah.

[oveliagirlhaditright]

For some reason, i had a dream last night that Xander Harris from Buffy the Vampire Slayer got turned into a vampire... that we all know does happen in the Wishverse on the show. But it also happened in the first AU that Boom comics did when they had the Buffy license. Huh.

I've realized that I don't blog about Xion enough, even though she's my girl. And that's because for a long time, when I went into the Xion tag, all I saw was this guy from some K-Pop band? But that doesn't seem to be the case anymore? So, I think I'm going to start searching the tag more, and start blogging about our dear former Replica:)

I fear his KH4 fit might be my favorite

drew sora again after over a year, kh4 trailer has reignited my flames 🫶

Is anyone else afraid that if KHIV isn't treated like a Final Mix from the get-go: that is, released with all of the stuff they'd want to put in a Final Mix version of it from the jump, that we're going to have a repeat of history and all the people who hated KHIII (in, tbh, having come into the series from the Remixes and not realizing that all the games start out a little more bareboned, at least in comparison to their Final Mix versions, and then get a shit ton of content later) are going to also hate KHIV?

[oveliagirlhaditright]

If I were directing KHIV, I think I'd have the game split three ways between Sora, Riku, and Kairi.

Sora would be in Quadratum, of course, and have Star Wars and Marvel worlds. And I guess some Disney remake live-action (ugh). And IDK. Maybe we could get away with some 3D Disney and Pixar films (and definitely more live-action movies, surely). Though the former feels too close to stuff you'd see from the Realm of Light, and Quadratum is supposed to feel distinct from that. Unless there's something in the story to explain it: like the two Realms are starting to merge. Or the closer Sora's heart gets to home, the more the worlds he visits feels like home, too. IDK.

Riku, in Shinjuku, I would give Disney films that were a cross between animated and live-action: Enchanted, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pete's Dragon, Mary Poppins, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

And Kairi (alongside Donald and Goofy) in the Realm of Light, would have the classic Disney worlds that we know and love (and want).

[oveliagirlhaditright]

So, if that one KHIV Keyblade is based on the film Frankenweenie, how do we think that's working?

Because so far, everyone's assuming that the worlds in Unreality are going to be different from the ones from the Realm of Light.

So, unless there's some sort of explanation as to why we're seeing worlds in Unreality that we'd expect to see in the Realm of Light (and they could do that), it doesn't make much sense.

Unless Sora isn't going to spend the whole game in Quadratum (and people have theorized that, too), and we'll be world hopping in the Realm of Light with him for part of the game. -shrugs-

[oveliagirlhaditright]

Do we think KHIV is going to be the first KH game in ages where Sora doesn't have magic clothes, since he's not around the Three Good Fairies to give him any, or will there be a way he gets some in Quadratum, too?
