MULAN WILL SAVE THE UNIVERSE LIKE SHE SAVED CHINA
Can’t wait for this. It’s bizarrely funny how Mulan got a piece over Roxas or Axel.
I love how random Mulan is, but am just happy that Xion is usable. I am definitely getting this!
I've been looking forward to hearing more about this. Seems like they're close to actually releasing it. It looks fun.
Also i just love the idea of Mulan being the one to take down Ansem. She's totally the Disney character I'd give a keyblade to.
Still bummed that it's not going to be out by late August, meaning I'm missing my chance to actually play it.
Mulan is the Master of Masters confirmed.
Note: My legitimate guess regarding the reasoning behind her inclusion is that they wanted to use another female heroine who wielded a weapon. Chi era not included, none of the other original women on the side of light have weapons. I guess FF characters were off limits and Mulan is the only female Disney ally to carry a melee weapon.
Well shit, I was already planning on blowing my money on a Power Rangers tabletop game in a month, now I gotta get this too!
Tfw when you seal the door as Mickey and Riku the figurines disappear
KH 1 era figures wielding KH 2 era keyblades? Oh hell naw
It’s a chaotic jumble of KH1, KH2, Days, along with BBS. And Donald is finally relaxing with that No Meddling rule since Mulan gets invited for world hopping adventures. Very weird. But I like it!
I’d love to see some tabletop miniature wargame enthusiasts paint those gray character figurines. I bet they could look really cool with just a bit of color.
I'm excited for this, because I really liked Talisman from what I played of it at GenCon.
And just the fact it's KH--and a board game of it! Something I've wanted for ages--makes it an instant buy for me.
I'm also glad we'll finally get to play as Kairi in something in this series: I'll take what I can get.
And I'm okay with this roster: The Disney Trio, The Destiny Trio, and the Wayfinder one. I. know people might be mad at not having Roxas and Axel (says someone who holds the Seasalt Trio as her favorite trio), but I'm fine with them not being there. They probably wanted a pretty even divide of guys and girls that people could play as. So Destiny, Wayfinder, and a Xion it is. (Plus, maybe they thought having Roxas and Ventus would have been unneeded or confusing. And at that point, chose to leave Axel out, too). I do kind of wish that it was Namine over Mulan... Though I know it's probably just because she can't canonically fight (something that technically doesn't matter in a game like this, but oh well). Or because of Mulan's popularity/or for more Disney/or for the upcoming Mulan live-action movie, etc.
