Board 8 > Do you think we'll see any 2000s Disney worlds in Kingdom Hearts?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Of these I think Princess & the Frog and Emperor's New Groove probably have the best chance (the former because of including a Disney princess and the latter due to recent popularity) but I'd love to see more appear

also really want a real Lilo & Stitch stage set in Hawaii
---

Monsters Inc. is 2000s!

Not really expecting any of those though.
---

Meet the Robinsons would be fuuuun but I'm one of the few who likes that movie and universe a lot.

I don't think he's counting Pixar

As much as I love the Emperor's New Groove, I don't know how they'd make a world out of that. Treasure Planet or Atlantis would probably be the best of those since they have more fantastical settings. Atlantis could replace Atlantica, the last thing we need is another musical world.

Meet the Robinson's would be a pretty cool world as well.

Uhhh, what?

Pirates 3 is 2000s

What, they've got a forest and a palace, not much of a world. The movie is good because of the characters and the comedy, which probably wouldn't be replicated well for the game. The setting itself isn't all that interesting.
---

Kuzco would make a great summon though. He could turn into different animals.
---

Treasure Planet is a must. It won't happen if course.
---

The Emperor's New Groove is pretty fantastical

There's the peasant village, jungle, waterfall, cliffs, the palace (which is massive), the lab

Enemy panthers, shape-shifting guards. Just the roller coaster down to the lab alone would be enough to justify the world. Plus Yzma is probably the best Disney villain we haven't seen yet
---

I'm thinking it's only gonna be Pixar and the most recent stuff which is a shame but eh

Not that I'm not of fan of those things but I want some obscure shit like The Great Mouse Detective damnit
---

Speaking of villains, Facilier would justify a PatF world.
---

Probably not, but Id love an Emperors New Groove world and Princess and the Frog world.

ENG is probably my most wanted Disney world. I just don't know if that movie is well-known in Japan or not
---

I imagine we definitely have left:
The Incredibles
WALL-E
Inside Out
Zootopia

and probably:
Up
Moana
Coco

I can't see Brave as a world but I imagine Merida will appear in some way (maybe a summon?) as We'll also probably see Cars and Finding Nemo but dear god I do not want to see Sora turn into a car and it'd be hard to really handle gameplay in a Finding Nemo world

Pixar and the last decade of Disney canon already give us a lot, so if we do get anything from 2000s or earlier that isn't Pixar, I'm guessing it'll only be maybe one or two worlds, and even that feels like a stretch
---

From your list I think Zootopia and Incredibles are probably locks, but the rest are a bit less likely. I'd give Coco very high chances as well but it might just be too new.
---

Honestly I kind of feel like Zootopia is too new as well, I think Big Hero is the most recent we're gonna get
---

That said, how many worlds do you think this thing will have?

Honestly, it feels like because it's an HD game and how much it must take to work on the graphics for this game (each world is rendered differently to help it look as close to the movie it's based on as possible) I'm expecting this one one to have less worlds than previous games.

Maybe WALL-E is overexpecting but with how popular Inside Out was I feel like it's gotta be a lock too

Coco making it in is almost entirely dependent on if the Kingdom Hearts team had access to story/design/etc. early enough before the movie came out
---

I don't need more Disney Worlds honestly. i just need Shibuya from TWEWY

I feel like we'll lose some older worlds in the process

Like Hercules is confirmed and we'll probably see Aladdin too, but I expect to lose worlds like Lion King, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc.

who needs villains when we can have rehashed organization members in every world
---

No it's gonna do the KH2 thing of having an Organization member that's underwritten along WITH a Disney villain from that world
---

The only villain we need is Doofenshmirtz.
---

Nomura confirmed a while back that Big Hero 6 is the newest film that's in as a world, which eliminates Inside Out, Zootopia, Moana and Coco, although it's possible they could be represented in ways besides a world (Maui would make a pretty good summon, for example). In my opinion, at least two of these are 100% locks if there is more after Kingdom Hearts 3.

As for the films in the poll, I think Atlantis has a good shot at being a world. We know that Port Royal will have underwater combat in it, and it would be a bit of a waste to go to the effort of programming underwater combat, but only using it in one world. Port Royal's return means Treasure Planet is all but deconfirmed, since they're not going to have two pirate-themed worlds in the same game, but since the Gummi Ship is free-roaming now, maybe they could implement Treasure Planet as a sidequest where you use the Gummi Ship to fly around space searching for it. Bolt and Kuzco would make for good summons, and the Princess and the Frog is an easy world inclusion, since Dr Facilier is practically tailor-made for Kingdom Hearts, and Tiana would make an excellent candidate for one of the seven new Princesses of Heart.
