KINGDOM HEARTS 4 IS REAL
this guy may sadly be a complete drone for zion don, but it is admirable for an actor to enjoy a character they portrayed so much they do any spinoff no matter the pay.
>bill farmer saying he was doing studio work for KH4 a couple weeks ago at an autograph signing>now thisAre we finally back? Is it time for KH4 kino?
WHEN YOU WALK AWAY
>>739086840Frankly kh3 was so bad that kh4 could be universally declared the greatest game ever and I still wouldn't care
>>739087296Seems like a good time for me to finally play Dream Drop Distance, ‘en. I can’t believe it, but Kingdom Hearts 4 actually looked *REALLY* good in the trailer, which is nuts after 3.
>>739087421>Frankly kh3 was so bad that kh4 could be universally declared the greatest game ever and I still wouldn't careI don't understand this opinion at all. KH as a series has literally no truly bad games and even the worst ones (not counting the dogshit phone/web browser gacha) are still like a 6/10 at their worst. KH3 was a solid 7/10 with some issues caused by an obviously rough development cycle and a 9/10 DLC.
Share your prototypical 2000s autismo experiences related to Kingdom Hearts.>Going to the book fair and picking up the first volume of the KH2 manga when it was released under Viz>Having Jared over and him showing you a Three Doors Down Kingdom Hearts AMV of Kryptonite
Does he have an ironclad contract to keep voicing Hades and therefore Disney is forced to keep working with him? Given his chud rep over the years you'd think they'd fire and replace him so I guess he must be legally untouchable
>>739087580>on your clunker Compaq computer that was still running Windows XP
>Sora is in the afterlife >Hades is back tooFEEL THE HEAT
>>739087580I remember finding some dogshit quality untranslated famitsu (or some other japanese magazine) scans about BBS online and printing that shit cause to me the images alone were the coolest shit ever
>>739086840It's been 7 years since the last game and they're only just now recording voices?
>>739087580If you insistme and my brother went out to our local baseball game and both brought our wooden keyblades to do battle with each other while the game was going on we were both 10-11 years old at the time and I had a female classmate that was there at the time as well so it was embarrassing lol
>>739087874Iowa?
>>739087580I wore a black ninja costume but with two katanas (white and black) as a really shitty Roxas halloween costume one year when I was a kid.
>>739087963NopePennsylvania
I’m replaying KH3 but with the MP Regen EZ Code and it makes the game legitimately more fun because now I can spam magic like a lunatic.
We know, they revealed it years ago.
>>739087580burned myself a minidisc with a lot of vidya music on it. had my headphones out and was zoning out staring out the bus window one morning listening to Simple and Clean and this kid snatched my headphones off and put them on, he immediately starts yelling "this is what you listen to bro??? what is this???"
>>739087872That could mean anything desu.
>>739087534>I don't understand this opinion at allAutistic people operate only in extremes of 10/10 or 0/10. If a game isn't kino, it's irredeemable, unplayable shit.
>>739087601No. Woods admitted he loved his work as Hades in Hercules so much, every time the character is featured in something, he tends to ignore his paycheck just to voice him.
is Critical still the definitive way to play KH3 like it was for KH2?
>>739088384So Disney keeps him around just because he works for peanuts? You'd think with how much Disney cares about PR they'd just eat the cost of replacing him to avoid scandals past present and future. Or maybe they just know his voice is too iconic to replace?
>>739088474Only because KH3 Crit locks some deeply important bandaid fixes to KH3's design by playing on it because they fucked up the game balancing the first time around. So exactly like KH2 yes.
>>739086840you casually cropped the date and time from the post
>>739088474Yes. Get the Remind Ability Integration mod if you're playing on PC, too
>>739088494nah he's just an old school boomer who really loves voicing the character. Yes Yensid technically has him by the balls and can "force" him to do the role for peanuts or just replace him, but he's made so much money with everything else in his career I doubt he cares much
>>739086840He has to be playing the role for as cheaply as the union will let him. He's probably a big reason Hercules is in almost every game.Just compare: Tom Hanks and Tim Allen wouldn't turn up for a relatively light workload for the one appearance their characters would make in the series. Tom doesn't care how long running or prestigious a video game is, it doesn't matter that Pixar is somehow treating it as canonical to the movies, it's a video game. That's a toy. That's his brother's job.And Tim? He'll say he just didn't want to make Jim Hanks look bad, but it's actually because he wants the same windfall as a whole movie so he can fund his Newspaper Funnies-tier Boomer Sitcoms.
>>739088586cool I'll check that out. Currently getting filtered by that first open area fight in Twilight Town, it really doesn't fuck around
>>739088494Disney only cares about money so they'll happily keep having James Woods return also they probably don't want a repeat of the Gina Carano lawsuit.
Predict KH4's CCU
>>739087296LET ME FIGHT PETE AGAIN
>>739088708You're shit out of luck if you've already started a playthrough. The mod makes you get some abilities from the boss fights in Olympus
>>739088839oh that's fine, I only just cleared Olympus so I'm right at the beginning
>>739087580>playing Days for rhe first time>talking about it with one of the three other friends I had that was into KH>eventually Xion's name get brought up and I pronounced it "Zion" like Zion park>friend, rightfully, corrects me>I insist it must be "Zion" because every other O13's names use the Z pronunciation (there are multiple that don't)>this was because I had somehow always had the system volume off whenever her name was said in game>me and friends start arguing over who is right (obviously she was)>a few days later I hear Xion's name pronounced in game and realize I was wrong>too embarrassed to ever even talk to that friend ever again
>>739088028If it was a Pirates game, I think I might have seen you in passing. I remember something like that from a game I was at as a kid. Small world, if so.
Is this a new tweet or something
>>739088839Actually, the mod applies retroactivity, so you can just add it to your game and it'll work.
>>739088494>PRwho the fuck is still talking about James Wood controversy these days? They'd get worse PR at this point for having a worse replacement.
>>739087534DDD, Days, BBS, and Kh3 are all dogshit. I would rather play Sueprman 64
Why bother? KH3 ruined the series beyond repair.
>>739088583Ah you're right anon>1h ago
>>739089061>I would rather play Sueprman 64The only way you could ever possibly have this opinion is if you've never played any of the games you've listed even once, including Superman 64.BBS's worst aspects are just being kind of slow and jank and making you play the game three times. The worst part is Mysterious Figure, an optional boss.3D's only major sins are being a more gimmicky BBS with a less annoying grind until you try to 100% the Dream Eater catalog, then it's fucking AIDS because they didn't account for the Streetpass-only materials in the HD release, but most people will not attempt that.Days is, at its worst, a KH attempt to capture the Monster Hunter audience by making the enemies far tankier than they need to be. The Neverland boss is the worst part of the game and it's a fucking awful slog, but nothing else in the game gets worse than "kind of annoying".KH3's biggest issues are the back half of the story being obviously cut and the combat being too reliant on the stupid RNG-centric Command Styles to function. Critical sort of fixes this but Sora's overtuned movement results in the best bosses (Re:Mind) being overcentralized because spacing can't exist when you can teleport to an enemy at any time for free. This is only marginally worse than KH2.Superman 64 has the FUCKING DAM.There is NOTHING, I mean NOTHING, in ANY Kingdom Hearts on the level of AIDS that the FUCKING DAM is.Stop LARPing.
>>739089061You are absolutely full of shit.
KH3 gets a lot of shit, but there's some things about it that I really like>keyblade switching on the fly>keyblade upgrading>three sets of customizable shortcuts>reordering spells in the magic menu>being able to use lesser spells even after getting their upgraded versionsThis is the kind of shit I'd love to see modders backport to 1 and 2
>>739089629Keyblade upgrading is cool, but I still think Re:Coded had the best way to keep Keyblades relevant for the whole game. Giving them actual unique, functional abilities makes them so much more interesting.Days' idea of giving them unique combos and upgrade slots isn't bad either, but tying standard attacks to keyblades might be too far for most.
>>739087045sounds like he's based
>put down mines>"HM.UH.HEHE!" until the mines run outI forget how annoying the AI was for these bosses
I did not like Kingdom Hearts Chains of Memories. I absolutely hate the gameplay of it all. I love all the other games including Re;Coded though.
>>739087580Playing with my neighbor friend Austin who had a Keyblade from a flea market and fighting his rottweiler while listening to It Ends Tonight>when darkness turns to light
>>739087426What? They barely showed anything and it looked mediocre
>>739087426>Seems like a good time for me to finally play Dream Drop DistanceThe story is just alright, but I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay, the back and forth between Sora and Riku is fun.
his voice sounded rough in KH3
Who gives a fuck? The series died at 3.
>>739089886I wonder how much flak I'd get if I suggest Roxas in The World That Never Was is the best boss in the entirety of KH2 or even the three mainline games.
>>739087580the FMV intro to KH2 was my first experience with anime basically ever in my lifeit made me feel weird
>>739088721It will be meaningless unless it has a simultaneous pc release
>>739089534Getting to the kh3 dlc bosses and having no idea why I couldn't punish the bosses until I realized you're supposed to just immediately teleport to them and hit them in an 0.5s window just irked me. I hope they don't bring back the teleport so we have to actually, you know, fucking MOVE MANUALLY
>>739086840IT'S HAPPENING!!KH4 CONFIRMED END OF THE YEAR.
>>739089886I don't think they should go back to it, but BBS letting its bosses just completely fucking ignore standard mechanics like Hitstun and shit always struck me as an attempt to correct course from KH2's design. BBS forces you into a really reactive and weird sort of playstyle compared to KH2 with the way it lets the enemies control the pace of shit.KH1 still did that better, but I kinda wish they'd try it again in KH4 instead of continuing Re:Mind's trend of being practically turn-based with how you have this really clear and defined>now is when you attack>your turn is over, now the boss gets to attackebb and flow.
could be good
>>739090106I wouldn't mind them keeping Air Step if it had a meaningful resource cost of some kind. Like, maybe you have to burn MP or Focus or whatever KH4's gimmick meter will be to use it. That'd make it a way more interesting element than just completely removing all reason to ever run anywhere to chase an enemy down.
>>739087421thisyou can tell it started as a ps3 game and they had to shit it outand the ansem good guy reveal shit at the end was a slap in the face
>>739087580I wish I was less retarded growing up, because I never got to share my KH interest until I was an adult. All my friends in elementary and middle school were asians who played Maplestory and Gunz, even though a few liked RPGs they never cared about KH.
>>739090245>the ansem good guy reveal shit at the endMeme parroted by people who didn't play the game. Xehanort wasn't revealed as a "good guy", and the twist of him trying to achieve a balance between light and dark isn't even a new twist. That shit's in the BBS Secret Reports.https://www.khwiki.com/Xehanort%27s_Report>My brother pupil Eraqus thinks only in absolutes. He has persuaded himself that light is the only way, but forgets that light cannot exist without shadow. I believe a balance of light and darkness is what sustains our World, but too much of the darkness has been stamped out, disrupting that balance. Someone must tear down this tyranny of light and reorganize the World around the darkness which then creeps back in.
>>739086840Give us a Simpsons world
KH3 was boring, half-assed dogshit and a slap in the face to fans who'd been waiting a decade while also enduring the cocktease of endless filler games. It was a disappointment in every way. Boring worlds, lame boss fights, the lamest endgame section I've ever seen in any game, period. The whole thing felt like it was shat out to fulfill contractual obligations by a team who had completely burnt themselves out and had zero motivation left. Any perceived value in 3 is hard coping.
>>739090350play only kh1, kh2 and kh3 and then tell me "the bad guy was a good guy all along" reveal made senseI shouldn't have to play 15 japanese phone games to get the full story
>>739090147Yeah I'm sure there is some sort of middle ground to achieve, maybe just bringing back deflects and tech points in the normal KH3 system can do it. Most games these days adopt the "your turn, my turn" flow of combat because its just so easy to design around. So I'm not holding my breathe
>>739087534KH3 wasn't the worst shit ever but it had some baffling stupid design choices and Osaka Team made a shitty pale imitation of actual KH gameplay again despite being in charge of the series for like over a decade now. The worst offense for me was how when you landed on the ground there was a long delay before the falling animation transitioned into the landing animation. It all felt like unresponsive shit. Hopefully KH4 will be more like KH2
>>739086840He's almost 80 years old and you could already hear the age in his voice in KH3.
>>739090412>Any perceived value in 3 is hard coping.Extreme claim like that only makes it sound like you're unable to assess it objectively. It is significantly worse than 1 and 2 but that didn't make it unplayable.
I haven't even played 3 yet. Everybody said it was shit and I don't think I'm innocent to tolerate "Darkness..." beind said one trillion times anymore.
>>739086840I dont understand why anyone even wants a 4th game. 3 was atrocious.
>>739086840Yeah, it might be real. But the story's probably gonna end up being a disaster cause the Missing Link context clues got scrapped. Lmao
>>739090672>play only kh1, kh2 and kh3 and then tell me "the bad guy was a good guy all along" reveal made senseIt wouldn't. Good thing that reveal literally never fucking happens. Seriously, at what point in KH3 is it revealed Xehanort is the good guy?
>>739091220>I don't think I'm innocent to tolerate "Darkness..." beind said one trillion times anymore.
I don't understand the genuine hatred for 3. Regardless of your feelings, the combat system and magic system was on the same level or even better than two.
>>739088721Shart Peenix xistxers......
>>739091279If you're older than 17.5 years old and take Kingdom Hearts' story in earnestness, you should be SHOT.
>>739090147
>>739091360I was just commenting on the sentence construction.
>>739090147>but BBS letting its bosses just completely fucking ignore standard mechanics like Hitstun and shit always struck me as an attempt to correct course from KH2's design. This is literally the most cancerous part about it you retarded fucking asshole. Revenge values are what make KH2 feel good, it needs to be a back and forth so that it feels like an actual fight and not you just turtling and hitting them once an hour like in every Osaka Team game. It's fucking boring watching bosses do cool shit while you have to play carefully
>>739091297see>>739088210
>>739091297I can't say I hate 3 as a whole, but there's aspects of 3 I certainly hate. The pacing of the narrative felt rough, even if you ignore the Union Cross tie in stuff. Frozen world is self explanatory. I think it easily has the worst final world boss rush out of any of the "core" titles, so KH1, 2, 3, DDD, BBS. But that sorta goes back to the pacing problem, where KH2 at least killed some of the Org members off before the final world for example, 3 saved every major antagonist for the final world which just felt like it bloated shit, especially when you kill 1 boss and a cutscene plays, then you're right into the 2nd half of the fight.
>>739091297I can't think of any aspect of KH3 that is good.
>>739087601>>739088494IIRC Disney had a policy (at least in some contracts) dictating that whenever a character needed to be voiced for sequels, spin-offs, park attractions, toys, etc the original VA would need to be asked first if they wanted to do it (assuming they agreed with the pay/schedule) before they could move to cast a soundalike. I'm not sure if this applied to average VAs or if they keep doing that these days but that's probably how Woods keeps reprising the role to this day
>>739091297Everything about the animations just felt jankier, like they didn't flow into eachother quite as well as 2's. I don't hate 3. It's still a fun game overall compared to most shit that comes out.
>>739091481I really like the combat. Sora being as fluid and skillful and powerful is a wonderful evolution from the bumbling would be hero from 1 and the confidence lacking adolescent from 2. Watching him grow has been a genuine delight and not enough people respect that writing.
>>739091409You understood it. I just forgot 'enough' and mistyped 'being'.
>>739087534On the contrary, I'd say KH2's the only decent game left by modern standards.Even my friend, who's a huge KH fan, gave KH3 a 4/10.
Genuinely how can people play these games and objectively decide 3 is bad when the exploration is immensely improved over literally every other entry. Combat and story is not the only thing to these games no matter how non existent the other games make it seem. And neither of the 2 are even bad in 3 anyway
>>739086840KH is for faggots
>>739091297People had unrealistic expectations
>>739091689Yes it is and yes I am.

This man has done nothing wrong in his life. In fact, he personally stopped a school shooter when he was a teenager.We should be celebrating Xehanort, he's a hero.
>>739091575He has plenty of confidence in KH2.
>>739088721Probably 100k if it comes out on Steam day 1
>>739091794He was cocky. He's barely matured from a fired up child with a stick he was in 1
You think Melody of Memory is ever gonna be freed from it's Epic Game shackles?
kh3 was ass but the dlc was incredible, what the fuck happened man
>>739091669only sane take in this thread. I replayed all the games like a year or 2 ago. 2 is the only decent game. all the others are pretty shit desu
>>739091975>What the fuck happened man.Nomura was split between getting KH3 and FF7Remake part 1 out the door. Considering how we're now likely to be getting part 3 before KH4 even releases, it's not hard to see that Square prioritized milking FF7 over letting Nomura focus on KH.
>>739091669I prefer KH1 overall and I will not apologize. KH1 plays much better as an RPG and really sells being a literal child learning to wield a giant, heavy metal key.
>>739088921Nah I really haven’t went to any pirates gamesThe game we went to was a very local game if I remember correctly it was a pony league and the team name surrounding it was called the Prexies
>>739087580I bought KH1 a year before I had a PS2yes I was a massive Disney and Squaresoft nerd
>>739086840>Sora! Where you been, nigga? I haven't seen yo chink ass in years!>A-Ariel..? You look.. different?>Whatchu talkin' 'bout? Ya'll gotta help me kill all these Heartless niggas, they be fucking crazy or sum shit
>>739091669>On the contrary, I'd say KH2's the only decent game left by modern standards.>Even my friend, who's a huge KH fan, gave KH3 a 4/10.You and your friend are tourists with shit taste.
>>739087580I've been using a sora/Roxas name online for 20 years now if that countsOtherwise me and a friend would constantly bring up some cat song or some gay shirt song from demyx amvs
>>739086840I can't trust KH4>Focus on Sora being 'real' from the reveal>Disney knows they can use KH to promote shit>Never ending onslaught of live action remakes in recent years, all flopping and needing promotion>Development issuesThe game was 100% delayed because Disney saw the opportunity to promote their live action slop.
>>739091297Still in my top 20 games.forgot to remove the redundant title
>>739092365The sooner we get a real trailer the sooner we can figure out if this shit is gonna be worth it or just end it with 3

>>739087296Pete's body was made to appeal to the male gaze.
>>739089136*BBS
>>739092173Actually I'm wrongI played from shetland all the way to pinto league and stopped therethe team I was on was the WLB
>>739087580Actually cared and involved with KH's lore and/or theory. Friendship ended with 3D release because fuck time travel, now combat enjoying is my new best friend.Then 3 happened and it was... fine. Learning Yozora was fun but defeating him once is enough. Lingering Terra is still where it's at.
>>739091975Yuji Abe left. He was the one odd egg in the Tokyo Team that just didn't put out good shit. Before he was a supervisor on KH3 vanilla he worked on FFXIII, XIII-2, and Lightning Returns and that shitty MOBA. Not even Kujiraoka let himself get beaten down like that after Dissidia NT. As for why Nomura rehired him I will never know.
>>739089886I stop playing when I got stuck on ventus ice cream mini game...
>>739092714If that is the one where you have to get a certain rank to consider it beaten, I understand. The Disney World chapters for all the characters are super short but one of them just makes you get like a B rank or above for no reason
>>739092276Imagine if we do get Live-Action Remake based worlds.
How old are you guys? I was fuckin 23 when KH3 came out.. and that was the longest wait ever. I probably don't play 4. I just don't have the time really.
>>739087580Chain of Memories was my first game I bought when my parents got divorced.
>>739093286KH is running into this problem where it's one long-running story but the target demo is kids. KH3 is at odds with itself where they put in shit like Frozen for kids but the story is made for people who were kids playing KH1. They really should have reboot after 3.
>>739087601He loved the role so much he promised to reprise the role no matter how low the pay and Disney was fine with that. IIRC the only time he couldn't reprise was one brief appearance in House of Mouse but otherwise he reprised him for every appearance since
>>739086840>Hercules againwhy this obsession with that franchise? It's the only fucking world to be in all the fucking games.
>>739093629It's a good setting, good movie, good characters and it lends well to an ARPG.
>>739093629All the original voice actors are willing to reprise their roles for peanuts compared to most core Disney IPs.
>>739087421I dont care what faggots like you say. yozora is one of the greatest boss fights in vidya. just kill yourself faggot

>>73909328634 and I'll be buying that shit on release because I hate myself. I bought the fucking rhythm game.
For some reason, I remember KH3 having decent frames on my Steam Deck when I bought the PC release. Now I'm seeing its like 25 frames in Twilight Town. I think there were some in-game settings + power tools options that made it run good but I can't remember what they were
>>739088721nigga we all know its gonna be ps5 only day 1. steam like 2 years laterz if not epic first then an additional year for steam after that
>>739088721KH3 didn't sell that well on Steam
i just buy the kh games on epic because its just another store and im not a valve cultist
If KH4 sucks I'm gonna kms for real this time. I might wait for the final mix dlc because I'm a pussy though.
>>739094925I like how Reflect is a default block on multiple characters now.
>>739087045>admirablethen go admire him
>>739087045I've encountered him numerous times IRL (We both live in Warwick, Rhode Island where he keeps his main residential apartment). His tweets are a gimmick, he's Republican but he's told me it's mostly to get a rise out of people. Very friendly but downright terrified of eye contact.
>>739091543It's still their process. The most notable example for this is Woody from Toy Story. Tom Hanks voices him in the movies, but his brother Jim Hanks handles Woody in all adaptations per Tom's request.
How can I be a kingdom hearts fan, if I only played 1 and 2? That's maybe 5% of the games
