A Kingdom Hearts Fan Is Remaking Traverse Town In Kingdom Hearts 3
When it comes to iconic locations in the Kingdom Hearts series, you don't get much better than Traverse Town, other than perhaps Destiny Islands, Twilight Town, and maybe Hollow Bastion, if you're really pushing it. It marked the start of Sora's bafflingly complex journey all those years ago, and its exclusion from Kingdom Hearts 3 didn't sit right with a lot of fans.

Moore also explains in the video's description that you'll be able to interact with Save Points and Moogle Shops, and can even find collectibles and try out a Dream Drop Distance-inspired diving minigame.
