I think the next era of KH will focus on Square Enix

[Luminary]

So more like Twisted Wonderland than Mirrorverse then, where they are using expies (inspired characters) than directly borrowing the character, but with FF elements /atmosphere in contrast of Twisted Wonderland's Harry Potter vibes? (it's definitely Harry Potter Yana Toboso used to base Twisted Wonderland, and she's very obviously a Slytherin + Ravenclaw fan. That and some elements of Descendants and Persona.)

I wonder if we will get that, Twisted Wonderland , while yes it has amazing plot and has way more plot in 4 month than KHUX did in 4 years, it doesn't try to hide it's a VN with subpar gameplay (granted, it's a joshimuke game, companies think girls don't want gameplay how sexist) , I do hope they are not gonna sacrifice plot for gameplay, as I said before in another thread, plot can be known from elsewhere thanks to internet, but gameplay is irreplacable. That and how are they gonna do it TW way, when other KH games have been directly borrowing the characters?

Or are you talking about borrowing characters but make the Disney character more edgy/badass like Mirrorverse, but in the FF aeshtetic?The opposite of how Squall got "Disneyfied" for KH, and that KH Squall isnt the same person with FF8 Squall, but still Squall?

Idk if either of those are exactly what I have in mind.

My thoughts are more like the video game equivalent of the live action remakes; just not actually adapting those due to issues with actor likenesses and the films’ mixed reception.

The Disney worlds would still have the same basic stories and characters as the animated films, but with new aesthetics and some deviations in how the stories are told. I’m thinking how Alice in Wonderland was still based on the animated film but had the clear influence of Tim Burton. This would be like that but with the influence of Nomura and Final Fantasy.

As much as I’d like to see it though, I think the biggest obstacle for this would be the development time and cost. It would be huge undertaking to redesign the characters and worlds in an original way and develop them as entirely new assets. I’d imagine they wouldn’t be able to do very many worlds. But with the recent technological improvements in game development, who knows?

In my head cannon, the Main Universe of KINGDOM HEARTS, the worlds with the Princesses and New Pure Hearts, will be all about worlds centered around the movies of the princesses, with a couple of non-princess worlds.

Meanwhile, the Quadratum universe will be more focused on films that have nothing to do with Princesses, like Treasure Planet and such.

I think that makes Sense i mean if the Quadratum Universe has Movies that has nothing to do with the Princesses of Pure Hearts like Treasure Planet, Jungle Book, Pocahontas, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Meet the Robinsons, Marvel/Star Wars, Black Cauldron, Bambi, Brother Bear, Emperor's New Groove, Dinosaur (2000) and such then it would be a Separate Universe

That doesn't really make sense to me. Treasure Planet can easily pass for a world that's in the regular Kingdom Hearts reality. And any other original Disney Live-Action feature can be considered the same, too.

The only Disney properties that could feasibly work in a Verum Rex reality would be Disney Live-Action Remakes, Marvel and Star Wars.

Was just a suggestion. They could work around a bit to make Quadratum an universe they can use to utilize Disney properties that wouldn't fit with current KH narrative in some way.

Bold, mine. I seriously doubt those are the only properties that could work…. I think this is another case of what the fandom wants overshadowing what can or will likely be. We already know live-action films work fine as worlds in the Realm of Light. They don't have to be confined to some alternate reality.

 

[KeyToDestiny]

That and we hardly know anything about the Verum Rex reality/unreality to begin with so to say some things can and can't "feasibly work" with it at this time is silly.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. It's just that...

Spoiler Show

Quadratum is a different plane of reality and that it is beyond the usual rules of the Disney and original worlds. They could very well do a Twisted Wonderland and amalgamate Disney/original worlds for the visitable worlds.

I guess the unknown elements of how a Verum Rex game would play out is complicated to theories because of the vagueness of it all.

Can't wait for Sora to find himself in the world of that Avengers game where to defeat the Heartless, he must spend hours and hours whacking his keyblade at the same robots to get useless loot or even worse...

*gasp*

The Quiet Man. Nobody would wanna be stuck in that world now would they?

 

[Foxycian]

Since Disney has gotten so restricted with their properties, I think Nomura already gave us a hint, that Sora will visit Neku in his homeworld from TWEWY. Also, this new world that they showed of in KH3 and MoM gives me a bit more FF vibes rather than Disney vibes, unlike other original worlds such as Destiny Island and Traverse Town that had more of a Disney vibe for me.

Personally, I'm open to that. Disney really ticks me off lately in how discouraged they are with their IPs.

Well he did say that KH can now carry itself so I can see a whole game about Square with little of Disney reference, KH games are Square enix and Disney stuff but Disney have always been dominated in characters and worlds while Square Enix has few references like FF characters and some original KH worlds, if next game is square then they might also include little bit of Disney stuff probably some characters and maybe one Disney world? Looking forward to the future of the franchise nevertheless!

He can just go to Dark Road for that.

 

[Megavoltage]

Just had a weird thought. If we do get Square Enix worlds and we get one based on Parasite Eve... would the power of friendship/hearts/keyblades be able to cure humans and animals that were turned into mitochondria mutants? Or would they remain a lost cause that just need to be put down like in the original game?

I would not doubt we will visit TWEWY gang and there could be Final Fantasy worlds, but I just think that Square still needs to have enough Disney worlds in there. Now I don't think it will start out with much Disney worlds, but when Sora returns, we will probably start to see more.

Agreed we still haven't gotten Disney Worlds that we haven't seen in the Series Jungle Book was Scrapped from Birth By Sleep, The First Kingdom Hearts Game and Dream Drop Distance. Then Treasure Planet was Scrapped from Dream Drop Distance. Plus we still haven't found out who are the remaining 3 New Seven Hearts of Light... (I feel like The Princess and the Frog and Moana haven't appeared in the Series yet (And i doubt Pocahontas will appear in the Series but i don't think it's not possible) (And i'm a little 50/50 that Raya would be a New Member of the New Seven Hearts alongside Kida from Atlantis oh wait Atlantis the Lost Empire hasn't appeared in the Series). And i also want Meet the Robinsons World with Marvel/Star Wars and Pixar Worlds like (A Bug's Life, Incredibles, Brave, Coco, Inside Out, Onward and Soul) plus (Brother Bear, Bambi, Dumbo, Black Cauldron, 101 Dalmatians, Great Mouse Detective, Emperor's New Groove, 2000 Dinosaur)
