I was saved by the fact that DDD is not available through the nintendo shop, only cart, or else I might have fallen down in the hole that ends with me buying a ps4 for this game only.
Kingdom Hearts 3
-
-
Release date confirmed for January 29.
I beg for the sweet release of death.
-
welp, i know some people are gonna make a stink over this. but who cares, we finally got a release date, i can wait i bit more.
-
I really thought they were going to stay true to a late 2018 release date, seeing as they've really ramped up advertising and even let that select group play some of it not too long ago. Nevertheless, January 2019 is not that far off from 2018, so it's not a big deal.
-
I wonder why they jumped the gun on this and didn't announce it during their presentation.

This was announced at an Kingdom Hearts Orchestra performance. They also released their "E3" trailer at this same event last year.
-
This is, of course, assuming it doesn't get delayed yet again

@Purple:

This is the first time it has been given a specific release date, lets not get too pessimistic here.
-
First time KH3 has been a specific release date, sure, but sure as shit ain't been the first time that Squenix has delayed anything.
-
I had my doubts for 2018 the second they said they would take feedback from the demo.
I'm not mad. After hearing and seeing all the combat and technical issues, this game definitely needs tweaking.

Given what happened with FFXV you can't blame people for being skeptical and snarky.
-
Holy shit, they put Frozen.
-
-
lol if you didn't think Frozen was getting in the moment this game was properly announced.
-
! The surprise is Aqua as one of the 13 Xehanorts.
-
! Aqua oh no. But that's such a clever twist. Dis is good.

Is it just me or was that trailer incredibly shoddy - at least in terms of audio? And I don't mean the fact that the hyperdetailed animu people say stilted KH dialogue like "Darkness or Light; I wonder what Elsa will choose?", but stuff like the Sora going WOOOW at 25 seconds with a completely blank expression, or the weird soundmixing from 1.28 onwards, where dialogue remains loud, sound effects dissapear, and a slow-somber pop song starts playing at a volume too low to generate any sort of drive for the rest of the trailer, which culminates in a flat ending.
As for the rest; eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh. Can we just transplant the story out of the game so I don't have to deal with Squenix bizarro world scriptwriting? I mean, I killed Larxene more than a decade ago!!! WHY IS SHE THERE

No, there definitely was some audio problems, which was unforunate. I'd say HJO sounds better as Sora than he has recently, but there's always gonna be the challenge of him 30-year old him trying to sound like a 15-year old Sora.
Dear god, HJO is in his 30s.As for the rest; eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh. Can we just transplant the story out of the game so I don't have to deal with Squenix bizarro world scriptwriting? I mean, I killed Larxene more than a decade ago!!! WHY IS SHE THERE
Yeah, Frozen isn't exactly the world I wanted for INTENSE Organization confrontation.
Also, Let It Go will be included somewhere, screencap this post.
-
The reactions to that reveal are hilarious.
-
! Aqua: Ven… I'm already a demon.
Sora: Xehanort.
Aqua: Whatever… -
The trailer of the square presentation is different from the one of the xbox presentation. Remy and a cooking minigame revealed.

My boy Luxord is back and he's ready to duel.

Kairi's boots are awesome.
Did anyone know Woody had a last name and it's Pride?

I think I remember that from some Toy Story 2 thing.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Goofy's gonna hyuck Luxord up.

I can't believe we got 3 trailers, granted two of them were very similar, but still. I am going to preorder the deluxe edition tomorrow, I am so hyped for this game, I've been waiting 12 years for this.
-
Kairi never summoned a keyblade in any of the two trailers she was in
-7.8/10

The Pirates world looks pretty great - better integration of Sora and co., seaside ship battles, all this crazy warfare. And of course, seeing ol' Gibbs in HD. This world, Toy Story, Tangled, Monsters Inc., I'm so excited to play them all!
Now I guess it makes sense for the Orgo to resurface, but this series has been infuriatingly obtuse about "death", so on some level it is still annoying to have Larxene, Marluxia, and Luxord running around again. The thing I liked about KH1 is that the adventure seemed more natural. In jumping from world to world,
-Sora gets closer to Donald and Goofy
-Sora and the player learns more about the princess plot
-Maleficient is gradually built up as a threatand so on. I fear KH3 is taking more the route of what KH2 did in a lot of worlds/revisits, just having "hey Sora, here's a black coated figure causing trouble, go whack them with a key" instead of making the villains shine. I want to fight Hans and Gothiel, damn it.
-
I freaking called a Ratatouille summon/minigame for months.
I was hoping for Treasure Planet as this game's pirate world given how Roy Conli kept showing up in trailer interviews…
But damn, they really went all out in making the Pirates world look fun and dynamic. And they finally gave pirate costumes for the main trio.
I could care less for Kingdom Hearts' convoluted story, but I still find Larxene and Luxord being Xehanort incarnations to be weird. We've never even seen them talk about or interact with any of the actual Xehanorts. They barely got that much story focus in the older games compared to all of the other incarnations. But eh, who cares lol. Luxord's at least got a cool voice with a gambler theme.
-
I figure Larxene and Luxord are back so we can learn their Original Names (and whatever timey-wimey bullshit said names will reveal).
By that logic, I expect to see Demyx in the next trailer.
-
I don't mind Larxene being back because she was the most fun (original) villain.
-
Still, the organization is more boring than the disney villains.

The second half of the Org was confirmed to be ehem "Norted"? Or are just minions?
-
It's just the most likely answer that they are because I don't see another reason for bring them back and not have returned as "humans".

Xehanort 2 would be Young Xehanort.
The last slot is almost certainly Demyx, which is amazing.

Sephiroth is a Nort and the events of FFVII were in fact all part of Master Xehanort's plan.

Xion and Riku Replica. Why should Sora be the only one with a double on the light team.

So as a casual Kingdom Hearts fan.
Please tell me I don't have to play any game from outside the main 3 to understand.
I really don't want to play the others.

Lol as a fan of the series as you claim yourself you should actually play all of them to understand at least the basics.
But even then I wouldn't really say that you understand the plotline that is going.
I just played 2.5 remix with BBS and KH 2 and I personally will still play Kh3 so when you ask me playing the other games is not needed, only if you want. -
um, guys, I PLAYED THESE GAMES AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS THREAD

To understand Kingdom Hearts lore/plot, first master sweeping.
When you have mastered sweeping, you must master the way of drawing water. Once you have learned how to draw water, you must split wood. Once you have split wood, you must learn the arts of finding the fine herbs in the forest, the arts of writing, the arts of paper making, and poetry writing. You must become familiar with the awl and the pen in equal measure. When you have mastered all these things you must master building a house.
Once your house is built, you have no further need for Kingdom Hearts lore/plot.
-
Escentially, Xehanort's pieces have been trying to get kingdom hearts, the core of the universe or the origin of souls (the game says hearts, but metaphisically they are souls) or some shit, and become omnipotent/whole/destroyer of everything
The first experiment was collecting 7 princesses of light to open a door to the thing
Second experiment was collecting an unhealthy ammount of released hearts to make an artificial one
The first canonical experiment (birth by sleep) was by making pure light, and pure darkness clash and generate the actual key of the realm of the damned thing
The experiment expected here is a combination of v1 and v0, gather 7 lights and 13 darknesses and make them fight to get to the thing. His method of getting darknesses is to either gather his alternate selves and pieces, or incept his pieces on his former minions. -
With the exception of DDD, which is a complete shitshow and ruins everything, every KH game is pretty easy to understand.
-
I'm playing DDD and so far am not enjoying it that much. Maybe it's because I still haven't gotten out of Twilight Town, which is fucking boring.
