So... Kingdom Hearts 3 exists now. I've been making "there is no KH3" jokes for a decade, and now I can't actually do those anymore because it turns out they actually did release the game. Now I'll have to make "there is no KH4" jokes, which will probably stay relevant until around 2035. XD

One bit that surprised me (in a good way!) was how they finally added more types of lesser Nobodies aligned with specific Organization members!

Specifically, Marluxia and Larxene both got their own lesser-Nobody followers. And interestingly enough, their "classes" are Reaper and Ninja... which, if I'm remembering right, are the exact same names as the ones SpiderMilkshake and I came up with ages ago in the years following KH2 when we were both somewhat obsessive Organization XIII fans.

Unfortunately the ranks of lesser Nobodies are still incomplete. They didn't add followers of Vexen, Lexaeus, or Zexion...

[warning: possible spoilers in the following paragraphs, for those going out of their way to avoid them]

...but that's probably because those three are actively working against the Xehanorts in the game, and 2/3 of them don't even get "X'norted" (and Vexen get's X'norted on purpose so he can be all super-spy and work against Xehanort from the inside... looks like Riku's not the only one who can fight off Xehanort-possession anymore! XD) So it wouldn't make much sense for their buddies to be randomly attacking you.

Interestingly, Creepers don't appear in the game either... which supports my long-running theory (based on their ability to transform and shift parts of their bodies to resemble various weapons, much like Zexion's illusion powers letting him copy other people's weapons) that Creepers have been Zexion's followers all along.
