Populated Worlds, please?

[The Failed Hero]

Honestly, I'd like to see bigger towns, too. I mean, The only two places that had alot of areas were Hollow Bastion and The World that Never Was. And they were important worlds, so I understand that. But then again, the rest of the worlds feel so... small. You can't scale any castles like in KH1's Hollow Bastion, you can't explore the 10 different levels of Captain Hook's ship, you can't get lost in Mostro forever... for better or worse, they really should consider making the areas more than 6 screens long.

Or not, I mean, there ARE alot of worlds... but there's alot of towns and forests in FFXII, too!

also, sauce as to where it's said in print?

In any event, KH with loads of people wandering through the streets would feel so weird. First off, it wouldn't be like Assassin's Creed, since these worlds are developed, and having that many people in one area would probably draw Heartless.

Though it would be pretty wicked to be Sora walking down a populated street, and suddenly everyone starts fleeing in terror as a huge heartless rips through the crowd, leaving Sora and friends to fend it off.

Then again, how KH is that? How FF is that? Exactly. In Disney worlds there would then need to be loadz of people wandering around. In Wonderland you'd actually want to see like those cards walking around in small areas? I mean the only places you're thinking of are Traverse Town and Twilight Town.

If Traverse Town was populated with people who lost their worlds, the next step is "OMG, I GET DUMBO SUMMON, BUT WHERE ARE THE CROWS? WHERE IS TEH MOUSE?" blah blah blah. Then you get people bitching when they see cool Disney characters they like in Traverse Town, but you can't go to their world since it's not in the game.
Please no. There's enough complaining about the game as is.

Populated worlds with random people you can't talk to would get in my way man. I'm a keyblade mastah, I don't need to bump and knock into random red shirts while i'm heading towards the third district. .-.

In my opinion the towns/locations only have to be as big as the mission/storyline needs it to be, what would be the point in having a large location when only say 20% of it serves as a purpose?

That and the fact you would see some punk walking down the street with a huge key-like weapon? Weird.

Interviews about the Kingdom Hearts series - Kingdom Hearts 3

Scroll down a bit.

...The result of doing all this is because Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ is the last work that I’ll be handling on the PS2 and there’s a seemingly attached desire to it. If it’s possible to satisfy the fans even in the content and the volume, then I’m glad.

He could change his mind I guess, but I doubt it. And yes, he doesn't determine every little thing the company does, but SE isn't exactly supporting the PS2 any more, now is it?

Anyways, you make a few good points. <_< Having populated worlds could be more of a curse than a blessing in retrospect...

[X_Marluxia_X]

I really dont mind the population thing XD but i would really like some sidequests! i mean KH is so straightforward they really need some sidequests even if its the boring "run this to him" kinda quests... anyway

[Rixam]

I agree.... I'm thinking about Agrabah which was quite crowded in the Alladin movie and in KH there is no people there at all? There should be some people there at the market were you can buy stuff for example... They could done so much more out of Agrabah.

[AntiSora92]

Agrabah could have been a place to buy exotic and unlockable Keychains and change of clothes and armor. I mean how cool will be that! Sora using Middle-Easternesque dual Keyblades in traditional Arab garments fighting Heartless

[KingdomQueenHeart]

I'm assuming that the population thing has to do with the heartless about, or that is the excuse the Nomura team might give -.-

I never really thought about that until now... actually.... more people would be nice!

If it has something to do with the Heartless then all of the worlds are deserted.

I agree wholeheartedly. My biggest problem with KHII was that the areas were small and straightforward. In KH, you could explore, use special abilities to reach new areas, and interact with the environment in many ways, ranging from vine swinging and potion making to postcard collecting and solving small puzzles.

Back to the main subject, having more people in city areas would make a lot of sence in future games. It would be quite nice to have a bustling marketplace in Agrabah, some young merchildren playing in Atlantica, the citizens of Halloween Town out and about, or a busy village in the Land of Dragons.

[Jenketsu]

I would like to see tournys with actual people instead of heartless like fighting riku or ven or who ever is going to be in it

[Kairy]

i mean even in final fantasy games they make sure that there are inhabitants in the area and not only that it makes the game a little bit more realistic in some ways

[Picnicpanther]

Um, there is..you don't remember fighting Leon, Yuffie, Cloud, and all them?

[Kairy]

yeah that was one world...were talkin about the rest of them

[sorafan1203]

I think the way they made the game and the people was for the background of it and the multiple copies, I don't know but maybe they thought not many people would really care. But otherwise, I have no idea. I mean yeah, there should be different people though but I don't know, I think it doesn't really matter that much, in my opinion.
