KINGDOM HEARTS 3 -- E3 2017

fuck off

cant even get excited for this game anymore

The only good thing about those homosexual games were the songs for the first one by that Japanese QT Utada hikaru

>>379830275
Also, Kaoru Wada's music is great. He also worked alongside Utada Hikaru on the InuYasha anime series, I believe.

lmfao

>>379830278

most people on /tv/ like me were born in '98ish. it 1&2 were a massive game for little kids so there's nostalgia.

>>379830272
Still waiting for them to port the first two games to PC.

>>379830277
I was a kid when I first played the first Kingdom Hearts and was in high school for 2.
Now I'm almost 30 and 3 is just now coming out?
Fuck that I'm too old for this shit now.

>most people on /tv/ like me were born in '98ish

Subtle.

But this is /v/

>>379830283
yeah that's insane when you think about it. i was 12 when the first one came out and it took until i was 25 for part 3. too late for me to care

>>379830272

Is this /v/........right

>>379830282
Agreed, it's just hilarious in concept.

has sora made a move on kairi at all?

>>379830281

you might hear me say

Looks pretty good, but ffxv was just as stylish in its trailers. I have no idea if it will play well and I've heard some reports that all the games since the portables have had poor controls.
Also is that "second form" thing supposed to be the new drive forms? They're the #1 thing I want back but I have yet to see them in any of the trailers so far.

when did i say there was no interest in this game whatsoever, you stupid faggot? i sad it was too late for ME to care. i was speaking strictly for myself, you dipshit, as a fan of the original game.

sorry that someone not wanting to play you favorite disney game offends you.

not a /v/ fag and only played the first game when I was 12. I got some questions for you autists

1) Did Sora and Kira ever reunite? I cried like a bitch at the end
2) Why hasn't Sora aged?
3) Any updates on what happened to all his bros on the island?
4) Silver hair dude, still alive?
5) Anyone in the Disney canon dead?

>>379830292
lel yea ok you autistic faggot

did that fucking hack nomura seriously copy paste the fucking ffxv gameplay lel

>>379830297
1) They did. The credits for 2.8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9YpdXDrqz4 recapped a lot of the disney romance moments, and it ends with a montage of sora and kairi. It shows their reuinion there and sets up obvious implications for kh3

2) He has aged. He's gone from 14 to 15. Could very well be 16 in KH3, but comments about the dimensions of sora's model being the same imply that he's the same age he was in KH2

3) Chilling and going to school

4) Riku is alive and lost all of his edge. He is now basically another Sora

5) Barbossa? Oogie Boogie? Characters don't really die in Kingdom Hearts. It's weird.

>>379830302
ok last Q, what about the end boss from the first game? Surely that faggot perished. On second thought, isn't he the source of all the "unknowns" (is that what they are called) so he must be still kicking around.

Believe it.

>>379830643
You can't blame the Japs for the fact that the American VAs sound better. They tried fixing that in BBS and everyone complained.

>>379830303
The bad guy from the first game was just a heartless, not a full person. He looks human either because he had a strong heart or because he technically has two three hearts(more on that later). If you think this is bullshit, remember that Sora is technically a heartless too after he stabs himself at Hollow Bastion.

In KH II it's revealed that when a person with a strong heart gets turned into a heartless, the body and soul leftover turn into a separate being called a Nobody. The Nobody of "Ansem"(who is technically an impostor, not the real Ansem, but let's not open that can of worms) got together with some other powerful nobodies and created a group called Organization XIII, which are the main antagonists of the second game. Their motives are kind of nebulous, but basically they're also after Kingdom Hearts -- this time because they think they can get their hearts back and become real people again if they get it.

All the "spinoffs" deal with the true identity of this impostor, his origins, etc. and it's all basically a big mess of bullshit. Long story short, the story is now heavily implying that he's just the latest vessel of the original instigator of the Keyblade War, aka the "great battle over the light" Kairi's grandmother talked about.

The most recent game according to in-universe chronology talks about how when a person's nobody and heartless are defeated, the original person reappears. This is ironic when you consider that's all the Organization ever wanted, and tragically so when the Big Bad reveals that that "mission statement" was basically a ruse because he needed them for [mumble mumble masterplan mumble mumble darkness, probably].

tl;dr "Ansem" is just an impostor, that impostor is just a vessel, and the true antagonist is an older-than-dirt "ancient evil awakens" tier villain

I wonder if you can use KH2's outfit through the whole game if you wanted
The new outfit is not bad, but I find its colors a little too muted

>>379830272
Hades' nip VA does a damn good impression of James Woods' voice.

>>379830285
Pretty much. I'm glad younger kids are getting it but my time has passed. I can no longer get excited for seeing Sora, Goofy and Donald back again.

>>379830272
Wait...Are Drive Forms back or not???

So is the disney stuff actually relevant to the story is it just backdrops for the levels

For fuck's sake.

>>379833514
>Second form
I'm probably wrong but I think this is somewhat like this game's Limit form since he's using his old abilities and has KH2 outfit on.

The first one was actually clever enough to make the plot a series of stories set within events of Disney movies that related to the core themes.

From 2 onwards, most levels are anime characters searching for their current MacGuffin while a Disney movie plays in the background.

>>379833989
Second Form also can do Anti-Form's attacks.

So maybe all of KH2's Drive Forms are available?

Honestly, you faggotrons are cynical as shit.

You're on fucking /v/. When has age ever stopped you from enjoying a game you faggots.

I've been replaying the games through the HD collection, and I'm legitimately hyped for KHIII after seeing this trailer. The only thing that worries me is that they gave Nomura too much to chew on.

Kingdom Hearts III coming out will be a fucking historical event in video games. We can only hope that it'll actually be DONE and done WELL, unlike the mess that was FFXIII.

>>379833989

For fuck's sake does the entire game take place in Hercules land? It's been 5 goddamned years since the reveal and this is still the only world they've shown.

This games not going to make it. The new generation of consoles will release, they won't even be halfway done, and this'll be another generation skipped for KH. They should just have some guy novelize the ending and call it a day.

>>379834392
It's seriously not that complicated, the summaries make it look more convoluted than it is
And it is convoluted, yes, but it's perfectly possible to follow the story no problem by playing the games
It's not Homestuck, which had has the worst possible structure known to man, with the exposition being out of order and all over

>>379835547
Well, Nomura did, and you'll just be confused if you played III.

But who plays KH for the story at this point? I'm here for the gameplay that lets me make it look like Sora is doing cool super flashy anime attacks at the press of few buttons. Like the best aspect of a musou.

So who's gonna be the final boss now that both the English and Jap voice actors for Old Man Xehanort kicked the bucket?
>Xemnas
>Terranort
>Young Xehanort
>Xigbar
>A disney villainkek
>Some random new guy
I think it's gonna be Terranort or Young Xehanort.

>>379835778
I don't see why that would be an issue. They've changed VAs for characters already without any problems. Why would Xehanort be any different?

>>379835778
The box or Riku

Do you guys think they'll make it in time for ps5 or at least the ps5 ultra pro arcade edition?

>>379835348
I honestly don't understand why people say they're too old for KH, how does that work? Is it like that people that refuse to play the games because they contain Disney? Do Donald and Goofy being there make people feel that insecure? Is it really that much of a bother?
I honestly don't see what's so bad about it
I replayed KH1 some time ago via the remixes and it's just as good as I remember it

>>379835851
Because japs are autistic about voice actors and Kingdom heats fans/Nomura are the biggest autists around. Also I doubt they could get anyone to replace Nimoy.

Anyone else hoping based Braig will survive the Xehanort saga?

>>379830272
I havent gave a shit about a kingdom hearts since squareenix was still squaresoft. Every now and then I look up some new KH info and the story sounds so batshit now. Kingdom hearts 1 was top tier though, that game had so much soul and was a good mix of east and west fantasy, now they focus so much on their oc dount steal final fantasy characters the disney characters might as well not be in the game any more. Square enix merge was a mistake.

You know that Orchestra tour that's going on right now? From there. They have the Japanese voice actors come out and do some lines. And since this is Nomura were talking about, they're 100% canon.

>>379836416
I never bought a PS4 since I didn't like any of the games it had enough to get one. If KH3 released on it however, I would buy it in an instant. I hope it comes out on PS4 at this point solely because they're available pretty cheaply now.

>>379836784
the guy meant KH3 will take so long it won't be released until the PS4 is on life support and everyone moved on to PS5
just like how persona 5 took so long it was released after PS3 was declared dead and everyone has PS4
in both cases the game takes so long you have a shitty version for the old console it was initially planned for and the version everyone buys for the next PS iteration

>>379836874
Fuuuuck

There should be a rule forbidding canon plot lines for games be told in medium other than books/games. An Orchestra had extra story things? Fuck me, what's next, a Twitter Storify? One time only iTunes podcast?

He then wakes up on the front door of this scientist called Ansem, who takes him in as his apprentice. Amnesia guy stabs Ansem in the back but then ends up having his body and soul split into two seperate evil dudes because of the fucked up experiments he was doing with Ansem's lab equipment.

Simple.

It gets complicated and retarded when it turns out that the evil guy's started travelling through time, collecting different versions of himself to form an evil team of time travel clones.

>>379836134
Same with FF7. Anyone who buys the PS4 version is getting fucked.

What's this? No EN voice acting? Reused music? Further iteration of the same areas they've shown for three years? Yeah, kiss 2018 goodbye.

>>379837236
In KH2 it "speaks" to Sora via robotic grunts. I'm guessing it's the same thing with Naminé. Either that or she connects with Terra's heart via the link he has with Lingering Will.

>>379837230
My dream of dream is Riku, Kairi and Sora have their own storylines, like BbS, that merge in the end, with Sora having the "Final Route". Except, with the advantage of it being in a console, they don't go to the same Disney worlds three times, but different ones in each route.

There'll be a point, just before the final boss, where you can visit any world as anyone.

But fuck, who'd ever play as Kairi?

>>379836741
wait why did Axel kidnap Kairi again? I know his main goal was to bring Roxas back. Did he think by beating Sora, Roxas would be released? Can't remember, it's been a while

>>379837236
Lingering Will is literally Terra somehow. It just works bro, turn your brain off.

He was probably gonna use her as a bargaining chip with Sora. As in, separate yourself from Roxas now or I'll kill your girlfriend. But she ended up getting captured by Org13 so that ended that plan.

More importantly, can we switch between the new and old outfit?

>>379830274
Same. I'd still get it and play it if I had a PS4. But they've gone off on so many tangents with side stories and rereleases, seeing them finally show 3 is just not that exciting. I'd probably feel the same about halflife 3. Like who cares anymore.

When you think about it Namine's ability is absolutely broken.

>>379837879
Sora and those connected to Sora.

BUT, Sora has the special ability to connect his heart to anyone and everyone (Which backfires on him in DDD), so in practice it is "If you met Sora and have a heart you are under her sphere of influence."

At least if remember shit right.

Why does Nomura hater her? This picture just makes me suffer because she'll probably show up in KH3 for 10 seconds and won't do anything.

>>379838106
>>379837993
He had the gimmick that if you defeat him once, he become a giant clock and you have to defeat him again.

Still don't know what's that about, Balloonga away.

>>379838046
I like how "being friendly and sociable" is considered a special ability in this series.

>>379838242
I mean, Kairi hasn't been relevant past 2 either. Unless you count Xion looking like how she looks somehow "Kairi being relevant".

Aqua's the most siginificant female character, I think. Maybe only slightly higher than Maleficent?

>>379838243
I'm watching it now on youtube and I still barely remember it.
All I remember is breezing through it, I had a bit of trouble with the other bosses but I beat him first try

>>379838349
I mean, majority of the non-Disney characters in the series come with the premise of "unable to feel emotions".

>>379838367
Yes but Kairi is gonna become a keyblade master and is confirmed to be important in KH3. I hope Namine gets a decent amount of screen time in KH3.

>>379838242
Well if we go by the fact that Sora wants Roxas to be his own person, then we can extend that to Naminé as well. It's possible she could have grown her own heart, which would now reside inside Kairi.

Ansem the Wise explains that it could be possible to bring back those once lost, couple that with the coded scene of Data-Naminé explaining to Data-Sora and Mickey that he can heal the hurt of those connected to him (Axel, Roxas, Xion, Terra, Aqua and Ventus) and I believe that's what's being set up for KH3.

>>379838708
Well Sora met him in Chain of Memories and battled him, same again in 2. He saw Terra as a kid on Destiny Islands. I think it's more the connections to those two via Roxas and Ventus more than anything.

>>379838708
'cause he's a popular character and in this series they have to create constant asspulls to not kill popular characters ever.

>>379838708
He's connected to Axel through Roxas and Terra through Ventus

>>379838708
Technically Sora is connected to Axel though Roxas.

That said, Twilight Town is a good world, Traverse Town is too. Hollow Bastion is boring in 2 and BBS. i remember getting to it in CoM was hype as fuck.

>>379839203
epic anime sacrifice

>>379834148
The sole purpose Sora fucked around in Disney worlds in the first game was to find Riku and Kairi, which is exactly the same reason he goes through them again in the second game.

>>379839224
God no.
They've been rereleased on the ps4 in a series of bundles so if you've got one of those you can catch up

>>379838540
best girl

>>379836286
Didn't he die too?

>>379839203
Xion could possibly be a direct connection since she's formed from his strongest memories, and since Kairi was the strongest one at the time she took her appearance. The rest are all correct.

>>379839228
Seeing Hollow Bastion in 2 after how awesome it was in 1 was so disappointing
At least you get to hear Scherzo di Notte early

>>379839228
I'm still convinced they're separate towns.

I think this is the best way any one has described the games plot.

>>379836286
He's ded and he was replaced years ago

>>379839224
No. Literally, no.

Sora had multiple people 'in' him, or 'connected' to him, the main villain had multiple copies of himself (and past selves), there's two fake Kingdom Hearts, we're making a special Keyblade again, there are this girl trapped in the world of Darkness, that armor in KH2 Final Mix had its owner taken away, and most importantly, Mickey made an entire VR world.

This place really is Nintendogaf. You guys at still salty that a mainline KH game will never be released on your shitty Fisher price tablet. I bet you if this game were coming out on the switch this would be an entirely different thread.

>>379839287
Yep, but even then the Disney worlds feel more relevant because of the Disney villains being shown being evil and scheming here and there

In 2 they feel more like filler

The game is pointless if there ain't no Wreck It Ralph and Gravity Falls worlds.

They certainly "feel" more important in the first game, but the disney stuff is just as irrelevant by the end. It was always just a setting.

think most dislike it because the plot is a complete garbage fire at this point. Would honestly love to go back to the "childish" story of 1 where we go and hang out with characters from disney movies to stop a mad scientist from eating their worlds with shadow monsters myself.

>playing through 2, turns out Ansem the scientist is actually a pretty decent dude. The one I fought in 1 was the heartless of his apprentice Xehanort, who is a real wacko who stabbed him in the back and started doing the darkness experiments and shit
>I finally beat the shit of Ansem's Nobody too, time ti play the prequel. Wait, why is Xehanort in this as a keyblade weilding old man? And why does one of the playable characters, Terra, look like the young Xehanort from the past two games? What the fuck?
>ooooh I finished the game, now I get it. Xehanort is actually an old keyblade master who stole Terra's body in order to have more time for his evil plans. Unfortunately for him I whacked him hard enough to lose all his memories. He'll become an apprentice to Ansem Cool Scientist Guy to at some point stab him in the back, steal his name and get split to the KH1 heartless and the KH2 nobody. Nothing too complicated

>>379838167
I feel like the best way to recap Kingdom Hearts is to do it game by game in release order, and then take a second pass at it chronologically to fit everything together.

Why Mickey didn't have his shirt in kh1?

>>379841009
He becomes one of the best characters. By DDD he's a total bro.

>Mickey's shirt dissolving for no reason

either they realese information on a daily basis or this game will die because lack of interest.

i dont see anything on this game that would make new players interested, like, who gives a shit about kingdom hearts nowadays, am i supposed to acre about sephiroth?

>>379841932
all the convoluted shit is caused by xehanort arc, once it's done and he's dead for good they can start pretty much fresh in future games provided MoM doesn't complicate shit further.

>>379830278
If you were 12 years old you'd have been born after KH1 even came out.

>>379842153
Pretty much every big company has been doing that for years.
I mean it's not like there's anything worth reading in Youtube comments anyway.

Why do they all look like plastic? Surely I can be the only one who notices this?

>>379842153
With how autistic both the KH fanbase and the KH hatedom are, I'd disable comments as well if I were Square

>reading youtube comments
anon... that's even worse than reading /v/ comments

>>379842139
No it's definitely dicks.

Why is Nomura so damn sexist? Where's the equality? It's 2017, I mean come on!

>>379842268
It really isn't. This thread is basically like a simulator of Youtube comments.

It's more of a claw, but I don't doubt they'd have it spin to do a drill, maybe.

only japanese devs do this, western devs might put out a lot of trash in the market but at least they have the balls to take criticism.

I honestly think it looks good and I'm still pretty hyped for it.

I don't even understand why you wouldn't. Gameplay, music and art looks like are the same as always so if you liked KH 1 and 2 you should enjoy this too.
And although the story is retarded, it was ALWAYS retarded, expecting more from FF+ Disney by Nomura was just foolish.

I'm throwing KH3 in the trash if Xehanort isn't the final boss.

I've waited 10 years to kill him, so it better be the best boss in the series.

I'm praying it's a weapon based on the aesthetic of the expeditions equipment. And that the world keyblade will be Atlantean looking.

I want to fight the Leviathan and ride a fish bike around Disney's most unique movie.

>>379835348
It's called fatigue, anon. Endlessly waiting in anticipation for something that refuses to come out will eventually wear on you, and some people have moved on and genuinely do not care as much as they used to. If you can keep the hype going within you, great. Don't expect everyone to behave the same way.

I hope they find a better replacement voice actor for Mickey after Wayne Allwine sadly passed away.

>>379835778
Corey Burton can substitute for Leonard Nimoy and japs sound so alike anyway that finding a replacement for Ohtsuka shouldn't be too hard either.
