Sigh, can we not talk about a game 3-4 years away. What KH 3D/KH BBS/whatever is on has no bearing on a console entry. And of course this game connects to KH3.

Anyway, interested to see the gameplay and the new worlds.

In a way, every entry after KH2, including KH2, will connect with KH3. There's a lot of input to develop from 358/2 days (especially the effects of Xion on Sora, not only Roxas), BBS (could we finally be going into the Realm of Darkness in KH3?) and the pivotal point of the story, Castle Oblivion (or that other name, for those who have finished  BBS).

I'm dying to see what KH 3D adds to the story.

I doubt 358/2 added that much to the story. Like, if you strip it way, then I don't know what facet of the story could possibly have been altered.... unless there's something yet to be revealed.

Anyway, there's only one thing I can say to this news with the most amount of exasperation possible:

FINALLY.

Probably not much, in the whole context of the KH universe, but it does pose some good questions. Roxas ability to dual wield is thanks to the power lent to him via Xion, so Sora should have that influence in him as well. 

Also, all the talk about the secret rooms in Castle Oblivion (The room of Waking and so on) which are related both to the ending of KH:COM and especially KH:BBS, given the particular aspect of what Castle Oblivion truly is.

I've been replaying the entire KH saga. It's pretty amazing to see all the tiny tidbits fit into the games, finding connections that aren't apparent in the first place (like the keyblade that Riku gives Kairi in KH2 is the same keyblade that Aqua receives after the visit to Destiny Islands).
