Is it Kairi's time to finally be relevant in KH3?

Is it Kairi's time to finally be relevant in KH3?

Kingdom Hearts thread

>Stupid bitch
>Becoming relevant

She probably won't, even after becoming a Master
Kairi best girl fuck off Aqua fags go play shooting games at some dead arcade

Nope, because Aqua is coming back and she's already about the level of Sora and Riku.

I miss larxene

Kairi threads are the comfiest

I hope so. I want her to be a technical glass canon character. I want Sora to have entire world's where kairi or riku come along and they get great scenes together. I want them to have a little animation where they pull up their hood if it rains too. What would be the point of her hood little bear/doggy ears if they're not gonna get put to use?

I also want to see her defend herself as a princess. She'll definitely have her own arc and that could be the end to it.

gonna need more good kh3 kairi art

No, never. Kingdom Hearts is for yaoi.

>disney
>yaoi

what did he mean by this

>who is Aqua and why is she the most popular?

...

>tfw no Sora and kairi paopu themed limit attack
>no segment where kairi and aqua team up to do crazy magic reaction commands
>no mermaid form for kairi

There's too much to focus on. KH3 is guaranteed to underwhelm somehow.

Kairi is going to be on tutorial duty and have her own separate DLC campaign.

In terms of narrative it doesn't make sense to start off this chapter of the story with controlling Kairi, only for her not to be specifically relevant by the end. If she is a tutorial character, she would have to be the Roxas of KH3. I just don't see them putting that much focus on her.

If she's playable during the tutorial, it's because she's playable throughout. I don't get why people think Kairi randomly being the tutorial character is a good idea.

>DLC campaign.
Oh god.

Hearing this made it truly dawn on me how fucking far apart KH2 and 3 are going to be. The state of the gaming industry has shifted so much.

Easiest way to have a story/exposition dump on people who're (somehow) only coming from 2 to 3.

it still has to tie into things thematically, and falsely emphasizing kairi only at the beginning would be a disaster of an opening unless she's specifically crucial to the plot. Moreso than she already is anyway.

This too, I was excited for KH3, but then I realized it's be a DLC-ridden mess like everything Square makes nowadays.
It's just sad.

Best girl

The only relevance kairi had was to be Sora's waifu Also Rikku's cause OGM DRAMA LLAMA!!!

Now kindly fuck off

>Frozen world announced
>it's DLC

this topic is specifically about how kh3 will remedy that

kindly read the thread you dipshit

>no mermaid form for kairi
If that's the one reason you want Atlantica back, I'll be glad when you're disappointed.

>he doesn't like having finny fun

>implying they didn't get over that back in KH2
>implying SoRiKai isn't end game
Poly relationships are a meme, but I still want my OT3 to happen.

they already did that. It's called KH2.
Next you'll tell me there's never been a romance within a trio of friends before.

I personally like the idea of her with Riku more, I like that edgy fucker

Why does she look like that?

It's "hotter" because I enjoy ntr. I would legit feel cucked if it happened ingame though

>edgy
Not anymore.

WHEN YOU WALK AWAY

reminds me of images like these

what did this trip of an intro movie even mean

It means "you think anything in this series is ever going to make sense again? well fuck you"

literally
p e r f e c t

I like Riku's new outfit the most, Sora kind of got the shit end of the stick not only with his new model but outfit as well.

Riku looks god-like and Kairi with a kitty jacket is great.

>implying Riku has eyes for Kairi and not totally gay for Sora

It's hotter because Riku is hotter.
Actually shipping anything in KH is cancer, tho

A vision I guess. Riku will be absorbed by the ocean of darkness, Sora will be separated from Kairi and attempt to reach her, and the Darkness will come for Sora.

It pretty much did.

I think they're all substantial improvements. Kairi and Riku look great and I can't wait for the full renders. Sora benefits the least because his 2 outfit was so excellent, but I actually like the trimmed hair and the new jacket. It would easily be better to me if he lost those gauntlets. It's the only bad part.

Overall though I'm quite happy with the direction taken here. I was expecting cringey shit after looking at the FF15 designs.

Something about Nomura's Kairi's makes her 10/10 cute

i blame hoodies

Damn that outfit is pretty good.

I'm actually in a poly.
Less KH and more Lizzie MacGuire with Gordo getting best end.

OT3 is best, and actually being somewhat serious, this is the closest I've seen a love triangle get into legitimate Poly territory.

inb4 cuck memes

stop posting

I'm hoping for a BBS scenario. Each have a storyline. Not 3D where you randomly switch but can play each to a point. Then you have to get the others to that point, then a final chapter where you switch between.

How is it cuck having two girlfriends.

Also, longshot, but I don't think anyone expected live action series in KH2 and we got Pirates.

Think we'll get Marvel or SW here?
Or at least Pixar?

Poly relationships are memes and not real love but if that's what floats your boat

>He thinks being a cuck has anything to do with gender

A woman could cheat on her husband with another woman and he'd still be a cuck you know

PotC was jarring to see, the artstyle just did not fit with the rest of the game
Considering they're using Unreal, if they were to do something similar the effect would be even worse. Speaking of which, i feel like i'm the only one worried about UE limiting the gameplay's responsiveness

Then I'm cucking both of them with each other bro. It's Poly, not open. Learn what you're talking about.

Feel the same, Tron was a little better because its digitized in the film too. Marvel at least they could take a more comic approach rather than a movie realistic one. Like the Ultimate Spider-Man game.

>It's Poly, not open

They're really just a few silver linings away.

>Marvel
Oh god, no. It's too big of an universe to cram a 'world' here also it absolutely doesn't fit here. And there's like zero chance of Howard he Duck appearing anyways, so what's the point.
>SW
I'm weirdly okay with it, mostly because lightsaber keyblade sounds cool as fuck. But if they make it, it'll probably be pretty bad.
>Pixar
Brave and WALL-E could be amazing, maybe Monsters Inc., but other than that, nope.

Vader as a secret boss would be boner inducing. But before that, we need more Disney super bosses as well.

LITERALLY
KH1 XEHANORT

Quick Sup Forums! What set up do I pick when starting KH1?

Kh1 or Kh1.5? This is important

Oh, 1.5.

Sword if you like not having Lucky lucky until the postgame, Shield if you're a cool dude who enjoys free exp from skillful parries, Sceptre if you want to break the game with magic

Whats best for someone who's never played it before?

Can we just have Riku take over as main protag now

He is a lot more interesting than Sora

That ain't Xion and Roxas holding hands, user.

Shield, extra defense really helps if you're a baddie, and scan is especially useful to understand when to fuck off. Guard and dodge roll can carry you through the game
If you want an easier time against riku, farm wakka's balls for easy experience
At one point near the start your attacks won't deal damage. That's ok, you're supposed to go somewhere important

So keep shield, drop...?

I really hope the tutorial for KH3 is Kairi getting trained in the basics of how to fight.

Sword

>there are people who genuinely think a game co-produced by disney will have a canon gay protagonist
>or that riku actually has any interest in kairo as more than a friend
>or that a piece of japanese media made by modern squeenix will have the childhood friend win

Nobody in the main trio is getting an SO.

At best beta couple will come outta left field and clinch an implied romantic end, like Aqua/Terra.

He already is the protag. Didn't you notice how Dream Drop Distance and Chain of Memories was basically his game?

I hope they do a Birth By Sleep thing and make Sora, Riku and Kairi all playable.

Plus Kairi becoming important is probably due to how popular Aqua is.

He's the ultimate wing man. Think about it.
KH 1 was him trying to fix things and get Sora laid. He's literally fine with sowing the seeds of darkness throughout the worlds so that you can do the frick-frack freaky-flack.

Honestly I'm already over the moon with Kairi completing the Paopu drawing.

If they share a Paopu that'll be the perfect ending for me, a kiss is nice and all but I don't think it'd fit in KH.

Hell, even if Sora, Riku and Kairi share one I'm down with that, although the shitposting would be immense.

>take a pretty simple and straightforward yet charming and enjoyable story about a boy exploring Disney worlds while trying to save his friends
>turn it into Bleach

I just want darkmode riku again

Muh nigga.

desu it worked for a while
CoM was pretty well written, and despite how absurd it got by the end the start of KH2 wasn't bad. BBS was pretty good too.

DDD crossed a line somewhere along the way though. It went full-retard in a manner not even 2 managed, and X is looking to be almost as bad in some ways, so I'm worried for 3.

There should never have been a non-Disney villain focus beyond possibly introducing a freshly restored Ansem after his Heartless got destroyed.

I like Axel, Roxas, and quite a few more Org members just fine but the Xehanort plotline is the biggest issue I have with the franchise and they're an integral part of it.

DDD introduced Time Travel, you know that it's going on a one-way trip to Bananastown with that plot point.

>Sora and Kairi are never going to have a romantic scene for the entire series
>mfw they'll just put in more homoerotic fan service of Sora and Riku

Time travel is the consistent fiction's death, nobody can ever make it work

I'd personally just keep Old Xehanort around but instead of all the Real Ansem/Org/Time Travel nonsense I'd have just had him running about in Terra's body and make him responsible for the (dead) students of Ansem having turned on him.

There was never any need for more than that.

Why did she join Team Magma?

She liked the uniforms of course

I'm still terrified KH3 will have Sora travel back in time to alter the course of the keyblade war or - should the reincarnation theory hold true - strike down Xehanort's original incarnation to purify the whole line.

I'll give it credit of giving time travel strict rules and limitations.

Days was pretty bad as well. Xion did NOT need to be a thing, and not even developing non COM or Axel Org members was a huge failure.

He can't do that because that's not how time travel works in KH. You can't alter the past, you can only witness it.

>strict rules and limitations
>When this cunt exists

I can sorta forgive Days since despite Xion being wholly unneeded she doesn't negatively impact the integrity of the franchise that much.

She works on pre-established rules, is contained to her own game, and has an okay (kinda) storyline. She's inoffensive at worst imo

It fucking sucks that it cane at the cost of showing fucking anythung at all about what the rest of Org. XIII was like in their downtime though, and that she's now inevitably going to be brought back along with fucking every other dead "good guy" now that Sora seems set on saving everyone and she got acknowledged

Roxas deserves to fuck, user. The poor boy needs the stress relief.

>I can sorta forgive Days since despite Xion being wholly unneeded she doesn't negatively impact the integrity of the franchise that much.
She cucked Namine out of her development post COM.
It's clear in KH2 that she and Roxas had met before, and was to be the reason he left Org13.
Xion only came in afterwards when another writer suggested her.

is there anything special about kairi's pendant? can't remember

Aqua put a spell on it.

...

I hope her Somebody becomes relevant somehow. Maybe in the second arc. We still haven't met the Somebodies of the Organization XIII members that didn't follow Xehanort.

How come Kairi's granny is the only relative of anyone we actually see in KH?
how does she know of the keyblade war

They way she relates the story is in the form of a fairy tale.

She was Xehanorts lover

what's her fucking problem anyway

>Kingdom Hearts pulls a Digimon
I can see it.
