Just bringing up some old things to take note of.

Recent theory talk has reminded me of something else that was said a long time ago by Nomura. Namely the stories left that Nomura wants to tell - before KHIII, I understand it. If you remember, when Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ came out, there was a special little book following the 1st editions, called Another Report. This book had a lot of little tidbits about the KH universe, as well as a list of 13/XIII questions with answers. You can find translations online if you want.

One of these questions were about the future of Kingdom Hearts or so and Nomura talked about stories yet untold that he wished to address. I think he mentioned 4 or so, 2 of which have been explained, such as "Xehanort's story", which was explained in BbS but even now has some explanations left that most likely will be told in 3D by the looks of it.
The 2 unexplained ones were "Riku's story" and "Mickey's story".

It wasn't completely explained what was meant by that since we got a lot of the information about Riku's absence in Chain of Memories and KHII Final Mix... But I take it that the period of time talked about here is the time in between CoM and KHII?Dunno. With Re:CoM's cutscene additions and KHII Final Mix, I don't see anything that we KNOWINGLY have missed. But hey, I'm still for more story. Again though, not sure if this is the Riku period Nomura is talking about... It could be that what he meant was the Terra and Riku scenes in Birth by Sleep since that also was after the interview, just like the scenes in Re:Coded although that wasn't the same kind of what-was-he-doing-during-this-time deal. Who knows, could be something even further back... Say, to Riku's birth and possible relation to Xehaaaa- I'll stop already >_>

The one missing story, Mickey; Once again, it could be BbS, where we get information about his past and how he became invested in the whole Kingdom Hearts deal. But like with the Riku part I kind of got the impression Nomura was talking about stuff that happened between KHI and KHII, not before or after, although that may be very possible now given what we have seen in BbS and such.
But if it's betweem KHI and KHII, I'm thinking Mickey's story in KHI. He only really showed up at the end of KHI and we know he had been looking for the Kingdom Key D in the Realm of Darkness. Else there is the time after he and Riku are caught in the Realm of Darkness by the end of KHI up to when he finds Riku in Castle Oblivion. I dunno...



But yeah, just reinvoking some thought. What do you think? Think it's explained in BbS or do you think there is more to come in relation to what he was talking about at the time and if so, do you have any idea or preferences as to what stories could come out of it?
Should it come down to it, would Riku and Mickey get their own games? Or was it all explained in one big story in BbS... Or was it explained in BbS? Or maybe in BbS? You're thinking BbS right?

^ Is actually about Mickey in the Realm of Darkness see.


In all honesty I would rather them not make any more side games like that and just release a novel explaining those tidbits instead. Or something.

Oh lol, nice with Epic Mickey there. He paints his way to Kingdom Key D? Lol.

Hmm, but yeah, Nomura might already have put some information about it in an ultimania somewhere for all we know. The way he said things, it did sound like he wanted to tell the stories in games though. I wouldn't complain about additional novel versions of the games though, lol.
