sokaievents : How about that new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer, everyone? 👀 ✨ SoKai Day is on September 17, 2026, and this year’s theme is Star-Crossed Lovers 🌌 🎋 Other SoKai star-crossed-related prompts are welcome as well ❤️ AO3 Collection
Also one more thing: that is definitely Kairi at the end of the trailer, the voice sounds like Alyson to me, and what’s even more telling is that Kairi tells Sora to wake up and see in English. In the Japanese version it’s pretty much the same, but the word Kairi uses that was translated as “see” in English, 気づいて, can also mean “notice, realize, perceive, become aware of, come to your…
Okay, I’ve started transcribing the dialogue from the Japanese trailer for my analysis post, but I don’t think that’ll get finished until tomorrow lol. The main takeaway I’ve had so far is that Strelitzia speaks to Sora politely when she’s checking if he’s okay, and Vali speaks to him casually but with the same concern evident in his voice. I very much get the vibe…
phoenix-downer : Finished watching the D23 Panel and it was so good 🥹 Favorite parts were probably Nomura’s surprise appearance, the longer trailer getting released, and then Haley and David performing the ending KH2 scene together 🥹 So cool that they finally got to directly perform together like that when they have to record separately because of logistics. I got emotional hearing them,…

phoenix-downer : Remember the Kingdom Hearts event at the Tokyo Ambassador Hotel back in 2022? Where Kairi’s lucky charm on Oathkeeper was a different color than normal and Sora’s face in the middle was missing and replaced by a gold gem? (Photos are from a post by AuroraPeachy on Twitter I saved four years ago—she has since moved to BlueSky from the looks of it) In light of the new…

unversd : KINGDOM HEARTS IV | D23 2026 SHOWCASE TRAILER
Oh man I’m trying to collect my thoughts… I haven’t seen a Japanese trailer released yet so I can’t do my usual post-trailer translation post BUT here’s some of my impressions so far (still want to do a full analysis post later) The graphics look amazing. Like it’s impressive how beautifully they recreated the scenes from Coco. Thought I was watching the movie again for a second lol Sora’s…
Sora has a heart on one side of his face and a crown on the other for his Coco design! He’s also not dead dead the way Héctor is, because he still has his skin etc underneath the paint, like the living Miguel. Love the attention to detail, the design is stunning!
What a fun dream haha, I love it! And hey, you never know, so many crossovers are possible with this franchise…

I was thinking about how Sora and Kairi still haven’t gotten to fly together in Neverland when I remembered they have, at least, gotten to fly together with One Heart 🥹 So in a way, Sora did get to take her flying after all…
