***The game tutorial was still missing, eh? Okay, if you want, we can put the Flick Rush one there. I read your talk with ENX and personally loved the idea of him writing possible stories for the untold ones (maybe those are the ones said to be explained in the new Re:Coded cutscenes in 2.5, I don't know). I will write up a draft for the possible True Organization members and maybe also one on questions that are left open on the series (like one of the things I probably will never understand: why after all that trouble with Master Xehanort, Mickey didn't suspected when met Ansem's apprentice that had the same name?). Hey, maybe this is one other story ENX can write about: the full travel of Young Xehanort trough time, showing when, where and how he encountered and recruited the members of the True Organization XIII we know so far. - {{User:MateusinhoEX/SigTemplate}} 13:27, 15 June 2014 (UTC) | ***The game tutorial was still missing, eh?

****Depending on how long ENX's draft is, I'm thinking that the Keyblade Master page could have multiple columns so it's more dynamic.

*****If people want to read my concept (which is still in development) for the Riku/Mickey "game", they need only read [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:EternalNothingnessXIII/My_Next_Creative_Project_-_Help_Wanted_and_Ideas_Needed! this]. As for the Xehanort/Eraqus story, it actually takes place ''after'' Young Xehanort returned to his proper place in time in ''KH3D''. It basically details the brotherhood of Eraqus and Xehanort and how that falls apart as Xehanort is tempted by the darkness on his travels. I may include some elements of ''KH3D'' and Young Xehanort's involvement, but it primarily focuses on the time before ''BBS'', where things such as Xehanort discarding his Keyblade Armor to control the darkness are seen. Both of these projects are in the early development stage, and I'd love some helping working a cohesive plot out with someone. Maybe only one story can be featured in this issue. Maybe both can, or maybe neither, in which case I'll contribute some other way.

******I can't help much with the development, ENX (I haven't played past Re:CoM) but, if you were willing to, you could split your ideas over the next couple issues and turn them into a mini series.

I know exaclty what you mean, ENX. What I wanted is for people to give IDEAS to the history, not that all ideas would be implemented. Someone may come up with something good for you, after all. I just didn't made it clear. That's what I wanted to say with "'''and who knows, maybe it can'''". We don't say users we will surely put their ideas on the next issue, just that they can try to help, and that you, the main brain behind the story, will see what fits in it or not. And don't worry, you didn't sounded defensive :). | I know exaclty what you mean, ENX. What I wanted is for people to give IDEAS to the history, not that all ideas would be implemented.

Anyway, about gameplay, I was thinking who will be the main enemies on Xehanort's history, since Heartless haven't gone to the Realm of Light yet, neither do the unversed.

*Consider inverting the tagline to say "Hearts divided in darkness are connected by light". That way, it portrays hope rather than despair when the end of the tagline is reached.

(Thanks a lot, ''Birth by Sleep'', you totally blew that one.) Perhaps based on ''The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning''. Of course, how to twist that into a Kingdom Hearts setting would be interesting to see. | ||
*Lost worlds? Like worlds lost to the darkness? Kind of like the Dream Realm, except they didn't come out of the darkness at all, right? Or did I misunderstand that? If that's the case, it should probably be all new worlds. Except Traverse Town, maybe an explanation as to how it ended up in the darkness and needed to go to sleep in the first place would be in order. (Thanks | *Lost worlds?

*Game play elements in a story. Consider reading [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9224374/1/Kingdom-Hearts-III this fanfic]. I think it's pretty decent as far as integrating much of the gameplay elements in the story. If that's what you're going for, anyways, I might have misinterpreted it.

*The Lost Worlds are definitely a more severe case than the Sleeping Worlds. They are worlds whose hearts have given in to the darkness, thus putting themselves and their residents in danger (the worlds and their residents are doomed to vanish forever in the Realm of Darkness unless returned to the light by Keyblade wielders). A world's heart becomes vulnerable to darkness when the strongest heart of light from it is removed, which is why the Castle of Dreams appears before Aqua in the Realm of Darkness in ''BBSFM''. By that point, Cinderella had been kidnapped by Maleficent during the events of ''KH''. As the strongest heart of light from that world, without Cinderella, the Castle of Dreams became corrupt and sank into darkness. Basically Lost Worlds can conveniently explain why worlds like Dwarf Woodlands and Enchanted Dominion don't get restored in the events of ''KH'' like other worlds do/might. | *The Lost Worlds are definitely a more severe case than the Sleeping Worlds.
