kingdom hearts thread

>>385406410
I'm a little worried at the announcement that there are fewer worlds, but theyre bigger. They honestly look a little too big, cause its not like you need much exploring in KH. I'd rather have a lot of focused levels like 2, but whatever

Also since most of the organisation are different versions of Xehanort, I worried itll lack the character the originals had. Though at least Xigbar and young Roxas are involved, and hopefully some of the ones not revealed yet will be entertaining.

None of my worries are massive, I'm hoping itll blow me away.

>>385406678
I was initially worried about the worlds too, but I think it's important to remember the KH2 had a couple filler worlds like Atlantica and Disney Castle.

My main issue is if flow motion will ruin the platforming and completely negate the purpose of high jump, double jump, and glide. I hope they limit it use somehow. Also, it was extremely annoying to have to trigger all the time in DDD when I'm trying to roll and cancel my i-Frames

Add for the Org, I'm sure Nomura has some more exciting anime tropes few can through in. But like you said, at least we have Xigbar, although I doubt he'll be enough to carry them.

>Young Roxas
I'm assuming you mean Xehanort?

We really need a new antiform, especially considering how plentiful situation commands are

>>385407026
I meant Riku.

Now I think about it though, Only four of the 13 slots are being taken by Xehanorts, adding Siax, I wonder who the rest are.

>>385407321
It might be 5 if Terranort is included. I think Vanitas might be as well seeing as he has yellow eyes, and perhaps Anti Black Coat from DDD. The rest will have to be new characters though.

I'm confused with the whole Young Riku thing though

>>battle of 1000 heartless
Yes. Nomura mentioned in one of his interviews that he's happy the Unreal Engine can render more enemies on screen at once. I'll be very surprise if he doesn't take advantage of this
>>all Org XIII battles
Nope. With most of Org XIII dead, end game boss battles like that aren't going to be as fun. Since it's all just Xehanort, Xehanort 2, Xehanort 3 etc
>>ROXAS
Probably not. There will be no original character, if any, that will top Roxas. He's coming back anyway, which proves it.
>>Hollow Bastian in its entirety
If they add a hub world, i'd be surprised if it's better than Hollow Bastion.
>>the superior form: anti form
My biggest worry from all the trailers is that the new forms all look to be boring reaction command shit that clear the screen. I hope Anti Form is coming back.

Is he really this out of touch with his fanbase?

Besides he has a storyline to finish with cloud.

>>385408015
i'm hoping he adds another FF secret boss. before FFXV i would've said Ardyn, but i don't know anymore. it would be pretty funny if he puts in his version of Ardyn and we basically get the Versus 13 final boss that he was never able to give us

>>385408236
Because nomura needs 13 bosses and can just explain it away with them being norted and thus no longer traitors.

Was Ardyn even part of Versus XIII?

He's not a Nomura design so I'm thinking probably not.

>Hopes?
The Disney worlds actually matter and aren't just throw away stories that don't really change anything in the grand scheme of things and could have been skipped
>Dreams?
The Disney world's stories aren't just abridged versions of the movies and have their own story that ties into what I hope for

Didn't pay much attention to it when I was younger but playing it now as an adult and going through Port Royal story with VA's doing a poor man's version of Jack, Elizabeth and Will was lame.

>>385408376
We haven't seen them for a looong time though and if they are norted they could also be their normal versions and not nobody forms.

>>385408376
Dont forget the pointed ears.

Marluxia looking nobodies are in the tangled world (with flowers and a sytch)

He was a final boss he is coming back. It will be explained with time travel and mind fucks

Does anybody else play Union X?
I stopped playing last year when it was still called Unchained, picked it up again after seeing the D23 trailer.

>>385408554
I sure fucking hope we get to fight Zord in the Toy Story world at least once.

>>385408574
The Nobodies he previously controlled still existing doesn't necessarily mean Marluxia is around.

He could make an appearance as his recompleted self, though.

>>385408621

Never seen Big Hero 6, is it a bad movie or something?

>>385408995
OP here. i played them all this year. KH2 is my favourite anon, but that doesn't mean i dont like KH1. we already know the Disney worlds are going to be more important to the plot, like in KH1. as for less original characters (like KH1), we know that isn't happening (i don't mind this as i like the original characters

while KH1 was definitely good, i just dont think it had as many memorable moments as KH2. but that doesnt mean KH1 is bad by any means

>>385408995

KH1 was a clunky platformer with a bland combat system. The only thing it has going for them is the music and the fact that the Disney worlds did not feel like filler. Save for maybe Wonderland and Deep Jungle. KH2 Final Mix added so much more gameplay wise. Too bad the story went to shit.

>>385408251
Ardyn has the same royal and magic powers as Noctis.

>>385408410
Yes, Ferrari joined Versus in May 2010, and he said he created Ardyn in December 2010, then finalized his design in January 2011. He said Nomura told him his initial design for Ardyn was too plain, so he came back a week later with some added details and a wing then Nomura OKd it.

According to the ultimania the main villain of Versus XIII was a character called "Safay Roth" before Ardyn was created in 2010 for Versus and took his place as the main villain.

>>385410354
NPCs to talk to in every world, something to do besides just battling and nothing else. This has always been something I don't like in all the KHs, they always feel so empty.

>>385410291
I was mainly referring to the Hercules one, we better not get "invisible crowds" again.

>>385410242
It just means that there are a lot of arenas and you have room to fight. Better than the many corridors that KH2 had.

>>385410498
oh god no

>>385410530
Olympus also includes the climb up the mountain as well as Thebes so there's plenty of room for dense and dynamic level design.

>>385410530
There are never npcs in places where you fight enemies and they didnt show any of those "hub" rooms where the npcs are in any of the worlds they showed, only fighting.

>>385410625
That's fine and all but the lack of NPCs and stuff makes all the "worlds" to not feel lived in.

>>385410645
>they didnt show any of those "hub" rooms where the npcs are in any of the worlds they showed, only fighting
Probably because NPCs aren't exciting and flashy

>>385410291
It still bothers me, that no one is going to notice all the little toys using FUCKING MAGIC and shit in the front of someones house fighting little demons. Like theres going to be security footage of that shit when they go to the store...


Actually fuck that reminds me. Are they going to walk all the way to the store? Will we actually do that?

>>385410736
There will probably be more map transitions as before.

>>385410813
I think that was limitations to the engine, I think, and actually kind hope, that Buzz somehow flies them all over there. Thatd be a cool cutscene

>>385410813
I don't think you can even go on the road either, like the entire footage of them in the yard is just on the front yard/driveway or on the roof, not even going onto the road once. There's probably an invisible wall or a screen transition there

>>385406410
No the more advanced the hardware the more SE is worthless for the simply reason that they are behind in tech rougly 2 consol generations compared to the west. Every Final Fantasy after 9 got worse and better hardware only increased this trend. Fagmura already said it will have less worlds. On the other hand this is the final so maybe they pull their heads out of their asses.. but we all thought that about every FF after 9 soo.. yeah.. Also FF7 remake being split also indicates that they have nothing going for them... as usual.

>>385411021
I don't think we're going full open world.

0.2 still has transitions, and having to make the trek all the way to Galaxy Toys, cutscene or not, is... less than fun.

I think the room format is very much part of KH's identity as a game, so we'll have much bigger rooms, but rooms all the same.

>>385411167
They said less 'Disney' Worlds, which some were usually filler anyway. So that doesnt mean no more Original and or Final Fantasy based worlds.

>>385406678
If the world's are like KH1 worlds then I'll be happy. Remember how you could interact with things even if it was something small like casting magic on a flower. More shit like that would be good and go nicely with larger worlds.

>>385411167

Everything farther away than 5 meters looks like shit in FF15 no matter ps4 or ps4 pro high mode and they couldnt even get a stable framerate on ps4 pro with full hd resolution while horizon looks MILES better has locked framerate running higher than full resolution.

>>385413207
But his younger self is already there as a separate member of the 13 (YX is 11 if I recall and MX is 1) they need a full 13 for the final battle.

Indeed. And knowing Nomura he will most likely put Noctis in the game so might as well make him a superboss in his king attire along with his magnificent beard.
That's just an idea but there are still so many other FF characters that would make good bosses. Just please no Lightning, boss or not.
