2/10
Both because of the cancerous cutscene that confirmed the fact that it would continue 2-onward's use of Disney worlds as just wastes of time, with no actual story connection with the Disney world
and also because young Xehanort
9/10 for now, implying that the game does play as smoothly as KH2
If at sometime it confirms that it plays closer to the Osaka games then it'll fall to a 6 or 7
Most anticipated game currently.
Looks pretty good, I expect the combat to be a step or 2 down from 2 though.
The amount of crap in 2 is indefensible, I can't stand 90% of the cutscenes, with the other 10% being decent/bearable.
I was recently playing 0.2 and noticed there was some delay delay with my inputs when too much was happening on screen
should I invest in a Pro for 3?
>disney and final fantasy crossover game
>"I didn't want to include final fantasy worlds because KH is its own series"
>terrible cringeworthy FF cameos that help corrode fan perception of the characters (Cloud in both games in particular) are still 10x better applications of the characters than any of the disney ones outside of Mickey "the get out of jail free button slash actual main participant in the plot" Mouse
How did it go so horribly wrong
Still blown away how good the graphics are. Like goddamn how would have thought Kingdom Hearts 3 of all games would look so gorgeous and truly next gen
I'm playing the entire series for the first time (I played 1 as a kid but don't remember much except Hercules arena and hidden bosses.) Currently on re chain of memories. The gameplay throws me off every time.
It doesn't look *THAT* good, I still think The Witcher 3 looks better.
It does look THAT good
Is that supposed to impress me
Is THAT supposed to impress ME?
Way better than a cartoon being rendered
pretty hyped to finally play aqua again
>KH2 hud
I wish. We're getting the shitty Focus meter and charging styles/finishers again
>those awfully directed cutscenes
>Sora and co. literally pointing out who are the bad guys
Fucking why. SE should just outsource their cinematics goddam.
I bought a 599 dollar PS3 at launch because I was sure that KH3 would be just around the corner for the PS3. Was kinda disappointed it didn't get announced or released and got excited again when I saw FinalFantasy XIII versus for the PS3...
Yeah.. The PS3 was kinda a mistake buy.
I was fucking 13 when I first played KH1. I'm almost 30 now. I have children a family and a fulltime job.
I couldn't give a shit about this game and I assume most of the people my age think the same about it. KH1 came out 15 years ago for fucks sake. It was targeted at 13-16 year olds back then and it didn't grow with the audience.
Who the fuck do they expect is going to play this?
The 30 year old original audience?
13-16 year old children of today with 0 understanding of the convoluted story?
The game is probably going to flop.

What are the chances that Billy Zane will return to voice DARKNESS in KH 3? He was God Tier
I just wish they could get someone who sounds closer to Christopher Lee to voice Ansem the Wise. Disney's the king of finding voice impersonators to carry on playing their legacy impersonators, yet when it comes time to replace one of the most noteworthy performances in the entire series, just have goddamn Corey pick up the slack for the umpteenth time
*legacy characters, not legacy impersonators. I'm tired
None. Ol' Billy would rather be an irrelevant BETA, starring in shit like Sniper 7(???), than reprise his most ALPHA role in KH.
Well to be fair Corey Burton did voice characters originally played by Christopher Lee before. But yeah I'm not a big fan of Corey Burton's Ansem the Wise. It's too much like Yen Sid. Honestly, this fan dubber does a spot on Ansem the Wise. Wish he could have taken over the role
You mean to tell me that's NOT Christopher Lee? Goddamn that guy is good. But that Mickey is godawful
>this fan dubber does a spot on Ansem the Wise
Exactly. I mean you're talking about an actor who was prominent for over half a century and known, perhaps above anything else, for his distinctive voice. There's gotta be at least a thousand people out there who can do nearly-perfect impressions of him. And if Disney's gonna keep characters he played like Count Dooku and Ansem around, they should try to make sure that the voice matches as best as it can, which is something they're normally pretty good at. Like if it wasn't for the fact that KH came out sixty years after Sleeping Beauty, you'd never guess that it's not the same chick voicing Maleficent, but as soon as Christopher Lee is unavailable we're in obvious replacement VA territory
>Leonard Nimoy died before voicing MX in KH 3
It's not fair
Name a better Square character than Riku? Don't worry I'll wait
cant wait for riku aqua and mickey party
I just hope they don't do the same shit they did with DDD and BBS where you get a bunch of options for combat but, at the end of the day, the only things worth using are shit like Balloon and Lightning Surge and the optimal way to avoid damage is just spam the Dodge roll button.
Goddamn I hated BBS.
>implying the end game party won't be Sora, Riku and Kairi. Mickey, Donald and Goofy. Terra, Aqua and Ven. Lea, Roxas and Xion
The Punished trio. Honestly, it'd make for a much more interesting game. I feel like they'd have conflicting goals or, at least, conflicting ideas of how to reach the same goal.
I wouldn't call Mickey punished. The true punished trio is Aqua, Riku and Roxas
i'd settle for any amount of playable characters
for as much shit 358/2 days gets it does give me nostalgia as well as my first GF
I want Christopher Lloyd to replace Old Xehanort
You're right. For some reason I thought Mickey's kingdom had been obliterated. You know, I'd like to see Maleficent actually get shit done for once.
ive learned like many here that falling for the hype ruins a game even if it turns out to be good
but with this i cant help it its been so damn long im 24 now and this feels like a part of my childhood is coming back
i really hope this pulls through i really do
this is one of those very rare moments id be willing to buy the special addition that comes with pointless shit for over $100
maleficent is too busy domming pete and shotas attracted to darkness to satisfy her hate boner for sora
So, how exactly would you do the final battle? I'm expecting the most bat shit insane thing ever put in a video game. I have a feeling Nomura is going balls out. I mean, in KH 2 FM Nomura said fuck logic and Sora and Riku can now jump 100 feet in the air and slice buildings in half. Look at this shit, it's utterly ridiculous.
youtube.com
I'm getting hard right now just thinking about how over the top and crazy Nomura is going to get with KH 3 finale
>Master "Way to Dawn" Riku
>Punished
Now, if you recall, the obvious BBS parallelism was that:
>Ventus | Sora
>Terra | Riku
>Aqua | Kairi
But after BBS, in 3D, we saw something different. Riku struggled, but successfully resisted temptations of the darkness and so far has been the only one to become a Keyblade Master- a lot of the time, he's deep in thought about how things are, he's very self-aware. Characteristically, this is actually a parallelism to Aqua. Meanwhile, after all the Xehanorts gave up on trying to tempt Riku, their plan changed to go after Sora instead, and based on what we've seen in KHIII's trailers, he may attempt to use the darkness to do what he wants in the plot- this would bring Terra to mind, not Ventus. THEN Kairi is obviously going to be the newest keyblade wielder of the 3, and she'll probably be a lot more light-hearted than the other two, like Ventus. It's like the parallelism rotated.
Magic and abilities in the KH universe are odd. They seem to have no rules and can do literally anything.

>Rocko's Modern Life revival
2018 is going to be a fantastic year
It's why some power level fags like to jerk off over Sora so much. If you calculate the amount of force required to send a skyscraper flying like that it gets utterly ludicrous. Then add in Gravity magic, stopping time, all-powerful genies that Sora can call up whenever he needs a favor, similarly all-powerful genies that Sora beats the shit out of with brute force, it's pretty silly.
source
Or it will be the year of disapointments. I really hope not though.
...
>>Rocko's Modern Life revival
Whoa, mama. Not sure I'll be able to handle such a level of cynicism.
Yeah I see A LOT of people saying Sora is one of the strongest characters to ever exist. And there is great evidence to that. Reflect spell can literally shield him from attacks and dish it right back to his enemies with greater force. Sora is broken as all fuck.
Except it's a Nobody Skycraper. It's full of shit and marshmallows. Not too impressive when you really let your almonds pop on it.
It actually looks really fucking good and faithful to the original series
Embrace it.
I'm 30 with children, a family, and a full-time job and I'm gonna play the fuck out of this.
Sorry you grew up into a boring dumb frogposter.
I hope it'll be what Silicon Valley should've been.
I'll be double's advocate her
How is he powerful when he only learned the basic spells from a duck who can make a highest-damaging Final Fantasy spell out of party firecrackers from hyperspace? How is he powerful when best KH girl can cast Reflect without wasting MP and warp around everywhere with her time and space manipulation commands.
They look completely solid when they break apart. If anything they'd be even heavier than real skyscrapers as a result
>Buying a console even though it was repeatedly stated that kh3 wasn't in development and wasn't going to be for awhile
>grow up to be a bitter frogposting homo
>"If I don't enjoy it anymore, HOW could anyone else enjoy it?!"
End yourself
THANK YOU. and yet KH1 had such good cutscenes, with legitimate cinematography and whatnot
Isn't Sora actually incredibly weak compared to Aqua, Terra, and Ven?
no
Ven is a fuccboi lmao.
Sora is essentially Jesus
See Sora is literally Jesus by the end of KH 2. Sora could literally solo Terra, Aqua and Ven
0
All of my hype was lost in the decade of waiting for it.
That sounds like an excuse.
Aqua's Barrier isn't nearly as good as Sora's Reflect. Also, we know that Xemnas is the strongest character in the KH universe and Sora's at least able to fight on par with him. Even after Xemnas gets a massive powerup from eating Kingdom Hearts, Sora and Riku together are able to defeat him. Also also, smashing skyscrapers around is way beyond anything anyone else has shown, except for Xemnas being able to toss them around with his mind, so that puts endgame KH2 Sora and Riku way beyond anyone else. They might not still be there following the DDD events but that's the highest we've seen anything go in this series.
On a related note, I always thought the idea that Sora needed to learn the "proper" keyblade combat style was retarded. Oh yeah Sora, we know you just took out Xehanort in two different forms, but we're not sure if you'll be able to beat him again when he comes back, so we're gonna reset your growth and train you in the style of the guys who lost to him. That's a real winner of an idea right there.
they're emulating pixar's style of dialogue and directing. you guys couldn't pick up on that?
>"Let's get him!"
>Sora proceeds to wipe the floor at Level 1 with their asses.
>Sora could literally solo Terra, Aqua and Ven
>literally has to run away from Lingering Will during some of his attacks
Considering the picture going around of Sora and co. Saluting in front of the army men, and just from watching the trailer, it's pretty obvious that there were parts of the scene in Andy's room that were edited out for time's sake. For example: the shot slowly zooming into Woody at standstill while Sora's talking, but the next shot is a sharp cut to Woody gesturing while he responds.
THIS. It's amazing some people could not pick up on this.
youtube.com
Look at 2:05 - 2:15. The way that is directed is something literally Pixar would do. Hell I would even go so far as to say that if I didn't know already I would easily confuse that for Toy Story 4
I'd argue that Aqua's barrier is better by virtue of the fact that it has no MP cost and can be maintained infinitely, while Sora's is limited by resources. Of course that could just be purely a gameplay thing.
AREDESUNE
Neku
I saw what they were -trying- to do. I have whole Toy Story scenes memorized. But an actual Pixar scene vs KH is night and day.
>it's pretty obvious
especially when the director himself says it in interviews lol
We got Toy Story now give us Shibuya Nomura
"No. (raughs)"
The armor is far stronger than Terra ever was, even as MX.
Normalfags have never even heard of twewy. Zero chance in a mainline console KH.
Sucks that only one good world has been shown so far (Toy Story) while all the others look like shit.
And I swear if The Incredibles doesn't get in due to Big Hero 6 being the token "capeshit" level I ain't buying shit.
Forced to buy a PS4 just for this game.
SE properties make cameos. If anything they'll return belonging to a KH-unique world.
Shibuya is part of Tokyo.
They'll show up in San Fransokyo.
Not at all. It's a Command Deck game they're trying to disguise as a Command Menu game
>tons of AoE spectacle shit that's sure to be useless
>melee is still slow and whiffy
>Situation Commands are BBS/DDD style Commands repurposed
>no utility spells shown yet
>Drives are Command Styles with two tiers and more cumbersome to activate; Drives and Transformations being separate was a lie
>no sign of traditional Summons or anything like them
>enemies spread out to an oddly large degree
>already fucking up a lot of the fundamentals as seen in 0.2 (Guard, Crit damage scaling, shit bosses)
>likely to be all sorts of DLC shit and post launch 'support'
This is the most autistic post I've seen in a while
>caring about gameplay in a video game is autistic
Not that user but it's pretty on the nose with the problems I and many others had with BBS/DDD and what we've seen of KH3
So how long until Disney blacklists James Woods because he's shilling the fuck out of Trump?
I wouldn't even be mad if this happened

What the FUCK Nomura!?!?
>Tangled and Frozen instead of Atlantis and Treasure Planet
frozen isn't confirmed yet
>popular movies instead of garbage most people have never even heard of much less seen
pretty fitting if you ask me.
Frozen isn't confirmed, Atlantis and Treasure Planet aren't deconfirmed, and what's wrong with Tangled?
HEY HEY HEY
It's sad, but true.
Tim Allen will also get blacklisted for being conservative.
It was a different time.
I'm pretty sure Seth Macfarlane is going to blacklist James Woods from Family Guy too.
Tim Allen'll be fine imho, but James Wood went full twittard. I thought that shit was satire at first.
