I'm so happy to see that Kingdom Hearts III is not Union Cross Part 2. Let Kingdom Hearts III continue from Dream Drop Distance and 0.2 Birth by Sleep. Now that we know that Union Cross and Birth by Sleep Ventus are the same character, I don't understand how that changes anything? just curious.

You know denial, it's that one person.

I can dig the idea of Sora's birthday in March 28th

What are you talking about? I was praising the fact that Kingdom Hearts III is not a continuation of Union X and what difference it makes now that we know it's the Ventus we're familiar with in Union X.

How does any of this have to relate to "denial". Denial of what exactly?

So the art from the x 3rd anniversary are the new outfit all along

More on the Ven in UX is the same Ven 🇫🇷 people will deny it, like the many that deny any unnumbered Games in the series especially how DDD split people more than Birth by Sleep and we still have that one member who keeps popping up randomly with threads

I guess after d23 the best place would be e3

I can’t believe Sora is only 5’3” feet tall that’s 5 inches shorter than Cloud.

FINALLY ! FINALLY! ORG XII MERCHANDISE OTHER THAN SEA SALT TRIO ! AND SUPPORTING CHARACTERS! I WANT BABY ERAQUS ! Also... is there any chance for Norts merchandises?

Fans are gonna go crazy figuring out everyone else's height. XD
But...160cm? That means he's shorter than me by only a few inches. I always imagined him more to my boobs than chin. Maybe Nomura's counting the hair. XD

I'm both happy but still uneasy about how KH3 will deal with Union Cross. On one hand, thank goodness they're not stuffing KHIII to the brim with Union Cross shenanigans, but on the other hand, what does get addressed could still be done poorly and require playing Union Cross to understand what's happening.

Kairi and Riku's new clothes are pretty similar (There's a hood. However changes are still made daily.)

Similar to their KH2 outfits, similar to the KHX anniversary art or similar to each other?

Union Cross's Ven is the real Ven

Were people really questioning this?

Like other Disney characters, you can consider Sora's birthday to be the day of his screen debut (March 28)

So he's an Aries, then. *looks up traits*

Aries strengths: Courageous, determined, confident, enthusiastic, optimistic, honest, passionate.
Aries weaknesses: Impatient, moody, short-tempered, impulsive, aggressive

Yup! That's our Sora! XD

Young Xehanort and Xemnas are still under development since their reveal in recent trailers, so adjustments are being made to their faces. Because changes have been made since KH2, adjustments such as lengthening the jaw is difficult. (Yamasaki)

They can take all the time they need. Xemnas' chin is very important to me.

On the plus however I’m so glad that they are working on both Xemnas and Young Xehanorts faces. It didn’t bother me too much but it apparently bothers a lot of people and I’m glad their addressing the criticism. And I really hope Nomura does end up designing Play Arts for the Organization 13 members and other side characters plus we still need a Axel, Terra, and Ventus figure. If it where up to me I’d have Nomura create those and have someone else make the DC and Marvel Play Arts instead.

It’s Kingdom Hearts, people are always questioning everything because nothing not even its own lore is 100% definite. There are people (as a joke mostly) who question what’s inside Sora’s shoes

That sounds like the comment section on Cynical's channel asking that.

Let's try to cut back on the hot takes and trying to one-up people who aren't even here, shall we?

So if their birthday is their screen debut, does that mean Riku and Kairi's birthdays are also on March 28th? o_o

[FONT=Verdana]

I didn't see anything confirm that the third anniversary are the new outfits? Just that Riku and Kairi's clothes are similar with a hood... which I kinda find bizarre. I always found it kinda odd that Kairi and Riku had like the same haircut in KH 2... now similar clothes? XD [/FONT]

Since Sora is the main character, he gets dibs on KH1's (JP) release date for his birthday. Perhaps Riku or Kairi's birthdays are on the release date in other territories?

Hmm, that would be interesting. I wish Nomura would confirm that...XD He might as well give them official birthdays if they're going to age...

Part of me kinda hopes Kairi's birthday is during August...

nomura a while back said that riku outfit is simmular to to x 3rd anniversty art

Well, that doesn't say that they are the exact same, just similar, and he's saying he's still making changes on the designs... so we could end up with something entirely different still.

true the the color might diifernt but i think the base of the design will be the same

I wasn't even one uping anyone

I never heard anyone talk about his shoes so seriously since I saw comments last year

Nomura art collection... I didn't even consider that but now I need it to happen! Release an artbook please! That would be amazing. He has always been an inspiration to me, and was my biggest idol when I was starting drawing as a kid. Sora 160cm? Well, I guess everyone else is a giant, Xaldin probably like 250cm xD

Just to make sure about this part: "

[FONT="]Although it has been confirmed that D23 was the place to present new information for KH3, it is undecided where the next one will be revealed"
[/FONT]

Does this mean KH3 might show up before that D23 in February of 2018?

broh i’m taller than sora hell yeah

I am 1cm taller than Sora. Holy shit

Just saying that they are unsure of when the next information drop will be.

The question is do those 160cm include his spikes because that is cheating.

Just try to stop bringing up comments on Youtube or other message boards in irrelevant topics.

Union Cross Ventus is the real Ventus? Boy does that confuse me on the timeline. I know that each world's flow of time is different, but unless this isn't the first time Ventus has been in a coma-like state, they are gonna have some serious 'splaining to do. It would explain Xehanort's initial interest in Ventus I guess.

i can't believe sora isn't a leo.

Lol it absolutely does sound like something from (trigger warning) cynicals comment section

There is absolutely no way Sora is that short.
How tall was he in KH1? 4'5?

I like to believe by KH3 he's standing at 5'8. B')

Yeah, Sora was 4’ something during KH1. People did size comparisons between him and Leon who is 5’8/5’10 depending on if you believe the NA guide or Ultimania of VIII.

Well, I'll take my 25-26 cm more than Sora, then (I'm also older at this point, but I was kinda this height at his age, so... bad luck short stuff)

and i'm eight inches taller than Sora. at 5.3 his head would be touching the bottom of my chin.

Sora is 160?? I'm 174, lol. Huh. expected him to be somewhat taller than me

While I'm happy he revealed Sora's birthday, I wish he clarified if he is sixteen by the time of KH3 or not XD.

Terra and Aqua's entries in DDD say it's been 12 years since BBS, which means Sora would be 16 by now

What do you want to bet that the only things relevant to KH3 from Chi are going to be Xehanort's keyblade, the book of prophecies, and the black box? Would give a bit of clarity on why those are pretty much the only things that Backcover focused on. My guess is Marluxia and Ventus's stuff in regards to the dandelions is meant to be setting up for a new story post KH3.

I find it freakin' hilarious that so many people are surprised at how short Sora is. He debuted as being a full head below Yuffie in KH1 (Yuffie is 5'2"), and in KH2 he barely caught her thanks to his spiky head. Anyone who paid attention to these things knows that Sora is short as all heck. Did you guys really not notice? :tongue:

Having said all that, it really sucks that they haven't decided on a date yet for when to give us another reveal; but if it means that they will have more time to focus on building the game, then I'm all for delayed info.

There's a far cry between observing how short a person is in a fictional world and finding out how tall they'd be in the real world.

I AM TALLER THAN SORA
BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.

i took it d23 is the next date nothing been offical yet

I mean, Sora is japanese, or at the very least a character created by japanese authors, so... not really famous for average height are they.
I expected something like this. Like, go ahead and look at how actually tall many "tall" Pokémon are.

See if I got this correctly, Union X's story won't be resolved in KH3, does that include what we learned about Ven and Lumeria, the Fartellers, the new second Union leaders, Master of Masters, Luxu won't be talked about or is that mysteries save for post Xehanort saga since Chi is before he was even born?

Am I interpreting the information or is it too vague to jump into conclusions about?

Union cross Ven is the real Ven? Not too shocking ... like, yeah, what other purpose would it serve to mash him into Ux if it wasn't the real deal?
I'm glad to hear they rework YX and Xemnas' faces, they were so ugh during the trailers and I want both to be pretty if I destroy them. :D
I'm honestly surprised about the sound of "there's some demand for figurines other than the main cast, mainly Sora" - wow, it sounds like Nomura hadn't heard about that yet, wasn't that obvious? And what does he consider "supporting characters", I mean we don't even have the main cast completed yet (I consider Terra and Ven main cast). Does that mean I'll get a Naminé before a Terra? Or never at all because Nomura "has to think about it"? What's to ponder, it's more money, it's not like Nomura has to paint the figurines by hand, so I don't get the issue here.
I don't even know what "selling a promotional trailer collection" even means, so I'll skip on that.

Considering how I recall that someone has once compared the height measures in KH2 and found out that Riku grew from 1,30m to 1,80 meter between KH1 and KH2 (a year. Yeah) I don't believe in height measures too much, even if they are official. xD

I took it as them saying that, while they knew they would announce new info at D23 this July, they don't know when they'll announce more info. Which confuses me as this coming February they have that KH event at D23 Japan. I guess that statement is confusing me a bit as I keep hearing they are referencing this past D23 or the coming D23 (which the coming D23 we should get a massive info drop).

Well for one thing, his name is Lauriam (or some spelling variation of).

But he's saying that not everything we learn about throughout the whole of KHUX will be addressed, probably just major things like the black box and the Book of Prophecies for example. There's a lot of specifics that won't be mentioned in KH3 because it's not relevant to the main plot of that storyline or would over-complicate it.



Impressions seem to suggest that may have come up as a question from one of the attendees. The particular wording of it used "Sora's friends or Organization XIII". Still not too specific, but essentially amounts to "main characters other than Sora".

I don't even know what "selling a promotional trailer collection" even means, so I'll skip on that.

Like a DVD or Bluray containing every promotional video of Kingdom Hearts since its inception. There's a lot of footage that's way too old and of poor quality or may have never been shown to the public, such as the video that gave us only two screenshots of Terra:

This too. And honestly one should believe these unofficial "comparisons" even less, even when it at least seems the person put a lot of effort into them.
I welcomed these news because just in this period I got stuck with a dude in my own community arguing that Sora was ABSOLUTELY 133 cm in the first game, and in KH II/KH III he was (once again without a doubt) no more than 150 cm.

People are often dead sure about things they shouldn't be.

Wait...



That looks a lot more than a 6 inch difference. He's pretty much a foot taller than Sora. (Yes I know Squall is older than his FFVIII self here, but he would have stopped growing in height during his late teens.)

Yay, I'm taller than Spockanort!

Knowing I'm taller than some of the people here makes me happy for some reason. XD

Squall is older? I swore that Leon was younger in KH not older.

It's been a while since I played FF8, but I recalled that Squall was around 17-18. Leon definitely appeared to be in his mid to late 20s

"Leon" is just a nickname, remember? His full name is still Squall Leonhart in KH.

Added another tidbit to the OP:

When asked if any character other than Sora will be playable, Nomura comments that such a world exists where this possible, but he can't currently say who it'll be

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

meaning yes but he cant say who it is yet

A world. meaning we will not get full another player route but only some other characters are playable in some specific worlds... Or I am getting it wrong?

Oh man some new info on KH3?

"Here is how tall Sora is and his favorite color of sock."

He's left it very vague, and only confirms what we already know; that there is another playable character.

10 bucks says this "world" is going to be "The Dark World" ala 0.2 and the playable character is going to be Aqua since they have all the resources and gameplay for her already and the 0.2 stuff was supposed to be part of KH3 to begin with. Of course the more cynical part of me thinks it's just going to be Riku or Lea. The super hopeful part of me hopes it's Kairi but I'm not holding my breath on that.

i think kairi due to the fact they havnent it annouce it yet and keeping it a secret right now yeah they have everthing for a aqua playable but i think might throa curve ball and say it kairi

0.2 was suppose to be the beginning of KH3 originally, under that plan it would have made sense to have returned to Aqua later in the game.

But IMO Kairi needs it more.

What I’m wondering about is the following — let’s say we play as Aqua in the RoD in mid-game. What happens once she is rescued? If we go back to that world (post-game, which means the act of going there shouldn’t be a problem within the canon), will we be controlling her again? Is she going to be the fixed character for that world? Or will we just control Sora?

[LIST]
[*]Union Cross's Ven is the real Ven
[/LIST]
I think this can be intrepeted two ways. One is union's cross ven is bbs ven other is bbs ven is fake depending on the original text.

It's saying that Ven from BBS is the same Ven from UX

Sora's height is 160cm
Omggggg he’s a sweet shortieeeee,
[INDENT][/INDENT]
I think my heart needs to calm down
he's 10 cm shorter than me, <3 <3 <3
That means!! Vanitas is a shortie too! A very muscular shortie lol my headcanon is finally real xD
[INDENT]
[/INDENT]
I am very very pleased ; w ;

Sora’s birthday, March 28! Ah finally, that means he’s an Aries! I thought he’d be a Sagittarius, but this is also a good coincidental match xD given that it all depended on the screen debut date

not neccesarily, they share a face but not a build and most likely not height either

awww cmon chu! let me dream a little!

Sora is tiny as hell. I Union Cross's Ven is real, then what's the explanation for BBS Ven? Was he a mass hallucination by millions of people? Was he a child born from Kingdom Hearts to kickstart destiny and get Xehanort to begin the Dark Seeker Saga. Considering that we've got the resources and gameplay for Riku, he's probably going to be playable again. It could be Aqua or even Lea, but it would be appreciated to give Kairi some play time and maybe, just maybe, experience character development.

Eh, did people really not see it coming that the X[chi] business won't be resolved in KH3? I thought it was really obvious that X[chi] was a setup for the next saga.

Also, I don't mind if that's the real Ven. I'm in for the wild ride on whatever Nomura's explanation is. Really excited for both KH3 and post-KH3 series.

Lol I'm 6'0 so if Sora was a real person I'd pat his spiky head like there was no tomorrow. XD

I think that him and VenVen would have the same height so maybe Vani could still be a shortie. ;u;



I guess Ven somehow ends up in the future, and Xehanort then finds him. Then again who knows?

that why i think kairi and we going to rescure aqua in the relam of darkness because something happens to riku and mikey in the relam of darkness so yensid sends kairi to find them

Another information Nomura said:

"Lauriam is an original character of chi and not Marluxia"


..........

Yeah, sure. Let's buy that.

????? Wait what ?

yeah i dont get that eihter he either trying to throw us off or he is telling the truth

Pardon my mistake. The wording is actually isn't that clear: What Nomura says is that Lauriam is not Marluxia and is an "original". The meaning of original here is still vague.

That would be... interesting. Either it's merely a "Lauriam is Marluxia's Somebody and not directly the Nobody" for those who still might think it's stright up Marluxia with a fake name or something, or Nomura has placed the biggest red herring ever (althought it's not much of a red herring if you give it away)

I'm gonna take it as he meant that Lauriam is Marluxia's original self and not the Nobody.

But honestly, knowing Nomura, I wouldn't put it past him to make Lauriam a clone of Marly or even be the Master of Masters in disguise.

@Sora's height is 160cm
That was rather surprising, I actually started to believe that KH3 Sora would be at least 170!

@As for Xehanort, they can't give an exact height but perhaps more than 180cm
That was my guess actually, Xemnas should at least be 180cm.

@They have decided on heights for the other characters, but are unsure if they want to announce it
Oh I wonder what that might be.

@Like other Disney characters, you can consider Sora's birthday to be the day of his screen debut (March 28)
That's really nice in the month of march:smile:

Pretty sure if it was Aqua then 0.2 Birth by Sleep wouldn't have been a thing. Aqua's story on that side episode seemed pretty conclusive as it is, and with the way that Nomura worded the sentence, it seems that the new playable character is being featured in a new world.

Speaking of Riku, I'd love a Final Mix edition where we play from his perspective. He's travelling with Mickey after all.

So wait Laurium isn't the human form of our Marluxia? He is an entirely seperate character?

Is it possible that CoM's Marluxia's human form is Chi's Lauriam's descendent?

The most I can see is another Roxas-Ventus: they look identical because of a third party bond or something.

But this is a big "if", I still think Lauriam is just Marluxia's Somebody.

I really hope that Lauriam is just the somebody and not a clone or descendant or something. o~o We don't need more Marluxias' running around when we already have two (his somebody and Nobody).

I hope it won't be just a single playable character because it will probably make him/her too exceptional and the fans will be pissed that others didn't get there :tongue: Unless it will be a very short chapter in the game, in which case I'd not care about implementation of a new playable character if s/he'd be just a story device and nothing besides that (not being able to expand and level the character).

Any guesses why they aren't giving out heights for other characters?

I found the tweet that mentions this:

https://twitter.com/yossthan/status/919041247884361728

Someone asks if Lauriam is Marluxia, but he just vaguely answers “Lauriam is Lauriam”.

Compare how he answered to the question about Ven, where he was able to clearly confirm that he’s the real deal, with how he answered to this about Lauriam. His wording is intentionally vague and up to intepretation.

Either it's a curveball for fans to not connect Lauriam with Marluxia, or alternatively, Marluxia as a character represents more than one Nobody (like how Xemnas is Terra and Xehanort's nobody).

Lauriam is Lauriam, and Nomura is Nomura.

Maybe they're still working on functionable models, so the heights can still be flexible to change if things don't go according to keikaku.

This blows my mind, Fudge, how in ALL worlds does this fit in our "Everyone is Xehanort, everyone else is Sora" axis of universal existence?! Scandalous!

Nomura is now resorting to standard anime catchphrases to answer questions, good grief. Next time he'll say Lauriam is Marluxia, but stronger.

That aside... I'm seeing quite the kerfuffle over this last declaration. Some sites are already posting "Lauriam is NOT Marluxia" articles.
I hope this won't get blown out of proportions, I'm still convinced it was his usual vague answer.

Yeah, people are jumping to conclusions and not many are actually posting the source so they can't verify. It's really bad and I'm not too happy about that :\

Like sure, I can understand how they arrived at that conclusion. Let's break it down if that were the case:

Lauriam is not Marluxia:
Because Somebodies and Nobodies are different entities.
Because Marluxia does not yet exist in this timeline.
Because you shouldn't attach Marluxia's actions to Lauriam who should be treated as his own person (i.e. "don't blame Lauriam for Marluxia's abuse of Namine because Lauriam isn't like that").

But then it brings us back to the blanket statement of "Lauriam is Lauriam", which is a complete non-answer and means absolutely nothing.

However, while those interpretations are plausible, the one that seems to be spreading is "Lauriam is not Marluxia's somebody", which is absolutely not what he said.

I really hope Lauriam/Marluxia doesn't get spun out into some crazy multiple identities thing like with Master Xehanort and his alter identities. I liked the idea of Lauriam/Marluxia having been involved early on, thus explaining why he was keen to betray Xehanort. I don't think it'd be interesting if he's just a rehash of Xehanort.

Well all things considered the only thing I get from Nomura's words (other than "somebody and nobody are not the same), is that maybe Lauriam lost his memories and thus Marluxia is less tied to him than a nobody usually is to the somebody, because they usually keep their memories.
But that's just a vague thought I had popping up in my mind.

Yeah, I agree.
Like, I've read a bunch of theories, even here, on what could that mean and I find a couple of them interesting, but nothing is certain and nothing justifies making an article writing "Lauriam is not Marluxia" in all caps.


Speaking of those, I was discussing with people. Axel IS Lea, right? Meaning it's kinda just the same guy: you can call him Axel or Lea and nothing big changes (whereas you cannot call Sora "Roxas" and vice versa).
And one of the big messages in DDD was Sora telling Roxas that he's himself... maybe Nomura was saying that the same was happening with Lauriam/Marluxia? Maybe Marluxia is another "special" Nobody?
Then again, it's just a speculation like any other. I just wanted to give my own piece of mind.

Yeah, I agree. I think Nomura’s statement does offer an opportunity to play around with theories, but certainly is not concrete enough to completely rephrase his statement as some other interpretation. Like you might as well have just left his original answer, y’know? And if it ends up that all of this blew out of proportion, people who use “Lauriam is not Marluxia” as his official answer would rather call Nomura a liar than admit their own mistakes.

Well at the time of UX, Marluxia hasn't come into being yet, so maybe that's what Nomura was referring to?

Oh dear, smol spikeyhead is smol, lol.



Waaat? That would mean I am almost as tall as Xehanort.



How come they suddenly pay attention to that?
Announce Lexaeus/Aeleus height then, lolz.



Partner look, eh?



Tbh I'm not too sure what to make of this...like was this really ever so disputed to begin with?
As far as I've observed most people are not questioning Ventus' authenticity but why the Chirithy he's even in Ux to begin with when his place should be with Terra, Aqua, Sora and the others in the present.



Typical Nomura answer, lol, but I get what he means.



So in other words:
In-universe => Hook-up points for next saga confirmed, chi-stuff in KH III will be used as more cliffhangers.
meta-wise => We wanna make more money with Union X so we will let it run past KH III.



Wat?
Does that mean Sora, Riku and Kairi as well as Terra, Aqua and Ventus all have their birthday on the very same day?

A little weird, wouldn't it?



Geez, the new models really are something they have to make many adjustments with, don't they?
On the other hand they do make a huge leap compared to the old models though so this is reasonable and to be expected.



"Such a world"?
That can mean many things starting from "Multiplayer-specific"-world over a single story-related world or an entirely different plane of reality (like i.e. the Dark Realm or even "Unchained").


Before supporting characters or Org XIII they should really finish the main cast first, meaning Terra, Ven, Xion and Naminé figurines.

And cutting back on the flood of unneccessary Sora-figures.



Considering how praised Nomura's art is I ought they consider something in that direction.



People do this all the time for clickbait on their sites, don't they?
I remember back in 2013/2014 somewhere when Nomura made an offhand comment about both Roxas and Ventus having a role in KH III and some sites going off on a tangent with all bolded letters about "Roxas and Ventus slated to return for KH III" yet the following articles had almost zero substance because there wasn't actually something worthwhile to go on with.

Even the slightest bits of news tend to develop a life on their own nowadays and sometimes spiral into such an influence that some people actually take them at face value...and then when it turns out to be not as overblown as some "trolls" on the net make it out to be Nomura and the staff are the "bad guys" for ostensibly lying.



I'm inclined to believe that this is exactly what he's referring to.
If someone had asked the same thing about i.e. Braig in BBS his answer would have been "Braig is Braig" as well since at the time period BBS takes place Xigbar didn't exist yet.

Sora is tiny. But, all of the kids with the exception of Riku are diminutive in comparison to the adults in KH. Riku is like average for a teen his age, and likely has a little bit, but not much growth left. Sora is just a really short kid.

Again, not even that short by Japanese comparison.
Naruto in Shippuden FEELS like he's tall, in comparison he seems tall enough and everyone compliments on his height.
Naruto is also 160 cm.
It's Japanese average.

Am I the only one who expected Sora to be shorter?

I mean, come on.

Xigbar: "Me? I'm almost as tall as Xehanort." *camera zooms on legs*

Wat? Does that mean Sora, Riku and Kairi as well as Terra, Aqua and Ventus all have their birthday on the very same day? A little weird, wouldn't it?

With all the forced connections in this series, is characters sharing the same birthdays really that far-fetched? XD

Sora was more or less in my predictions, I'm a bit surprised for Terra, who is by comparison kinda like Xehanort therefore another 180 cm.
I'm taller than him by a good margin.
By all means, here too stands the reasoning that for Japanese standards that's a lot, but... it's Terra.



BbS sounds especially silly, with Ventus/Terra/Aqua/Eraqus/Xehanort/Vanitas sharing the same day for their birthday.
Yo, what if BbS happens during that day too

(hold on, if we're counting the secret movie of KH II as "on screen debut" than Eraqus doesn't count)

He can wear insoles. Like the ones those Korean boyband members slips inside their shoes to make them look taller. XD

So where do you think Young Xehanort should be? I really think he should be taller than Zexion...

Pfft, how big are Xaldin and Lexaeus then?
If Saix/Luxord/Xigbar/Axel and Marluxia are "common" adult height and Riku/Larxene/Zexion and Demyx (plus I'd put Aqua in that range as well) have "common" Teenager height, Xaldin and Lexaeus are damn giants.

Lexaeus is the Hagrid of KH apparently.



Aand another one for the Best Quotes-thread. xD

Err, touché, by now there is honestly almost nothing I would put past Nomura including here.
If they have their birthday all on the same day though, people invited to their birthday parties will go bankrupt because they have to get a present for everyone.



We don't know which Xehanort Nomura was talking about, but when looking at Xemnas above I can see that being 180 cm (or more, as stated).
How big are you if you're bigger than Terra/Xemnas? Lol, another Lexaeus?

Looking at the picture above posted by Fudge, I'm probably around Luxord's or Axel's height.

Would still give the Wayfinder trio the exact same birthdays, even if by some years apart.
Still, Old Xehanort, Eraqus and Vanitas would then also share a birthday.

Ahh so this is the new info/post that people have been so confused or losing their shit about. The whole Lauriam thing. I know things sometimes tend to get lost in translation or sometimes people mishear or misinterpret things but this seemed pretty straightforward to me. That's a surprising amount of information from this event though. I don't much care about the height stuff, seems rather superfluous if you ask me, but there are several tidbits or key points of info I really liked.
The whole Ven in Union Cross being the real Ven doesn't surprise me one bit, knowing Sora's birthday is kind of cool, and learning about some of the new outfits was kinda neat. I can't wait to see what those look like.
As for the next trailer I bet we'll get one at that Playstation Event in December I think it was. Hopefully we won't have to wait until E3 of next year though because man that would be brutal! Hell having a final release date would be nice or even better.

The next time won't be until February at d23 Japan then at e3 neee the offical date will s

I had measure sora agasint yuffie I actually thought he be about 5'4
but hes only a inch taller then yuffie afterall

Only 5'4? jeez he's smaller than me (i'm 5'9) i'd expect him to be somewhere within the 5 foot mark, but that's still relatively tiny.

I think he's shorter than 5'4".lol He's probably closer to 5'3" at the least he's 5'2." The dimensions still don't quite work out, though because Xemnas is about 5'10", yet he has Sora by almost a foot. There is something wrong with the scaling. Either the adults are generally huge, like from 6'2" - 7'0", or the kids are midgets with the exception of Riku who's closer to average size.

What? I thought Xemnas was 6'0 or more. Xemnas is most likely 180 cm +, probably same for Terra. Aqua is most likely 5'7 and Ven well he's closer to Sora. But I expected Sora to be at least a little taller in KH3.

Ok, maybe your right. Over 180cm would be closer to 6ft. The scaling still seems a bit off, though.

Huh.
