Xion cute
I wanted to look up what the cards in CoM do and I get two different KH wikis.which one is better?
>>544459634KHwiki definitely. It's not even close.
>>544459634the fandom wiki is such a cancer to navigate on phone. Never use any wiki that's on fandom
I don't really look at porn. I look at clothed pictures of Aqua and get happy.
I cum to Namine's legs and toes
>>544459634KHwiki is better than the fandom one by miles, it's already been said but really it is.
i hate kingdom hearts, can I post in here
>>544461825>>544460951>>544463762jesus fuckin christ this is horrible yeah I'll stick with KHwiki. That one also has ads but they're not as obnoxious as the fandom one
>>544420101The last room is a sight in both versions.
>>544475927Cute
>>54445916157 days left
>>544475927>tfw no sora bf (male)>tfw no xion gf (male)what is the point
>>544420101It was so good I was almost mad when they switched it back in BBS because we might never see it again.Why did the data room with all the boss fights have the same aesthetic as Castle Oblivion? I dont care if there's even just an out of universe reason I always found that weird.
Halloween soon
>>544499660Yeah, I appreciate that we don't see too much of it, helps keep it unique.
KH should have a AAA team doing a Sora game and a small AA team to do a BBS style game(different protagonist)
>>544465679to be fair you should really be installing ublock origin on whatever browser you use
>Page 10 ladies
>>544509934that was the plan with KH4 and ML, like ML was the "small AA team" game. But they picked the wrong gimmick for it and now it's dead, all the while "basically a normalass game" gachas/live service games keep coming out of china and whatever, and are on phones too.
>>544509934And take time away from another FF gacha? You are insane.
Fuck my life
Consider it. What's really stopping it from being a world aside from>not popularThey didn't go the movie route for past Pixar showings, so we can ignore the elephant in the room. Hell, I'd even argue it has a better chance than Incredibles.
>>544532856At this point i'll take any worlds, i just want they to fucking release KH4 already
do you think Nomura wants to do phone/mobile stuff or is it forced on him
>>544541909Forced most likely
>>544541909The plots are stuff he definitely wants to do. The formats they are told in is something Square Enix demands they do. As for which comes first? Can't say.
>>544541909why wouldn't he want to

>>544552582The speaker spent days reviewing 2,000+ PC mods and assembled an 80+ mod collection on Nexus intended to recreate a bona fide KH3 Final Mix experience without wildly changing the game’s core.>Presentation & UI: 4K texture pack (separate install), new main-menu art + “Final Mix” logo, HUD and command-menu redesigns, color-corrected character models, DualSense button icons, cosmetic tweaks (gold metal bits on Sora), and other visual touches to feel more “definitive.”>Audio: several music swaps/replacements (including a Dearly Beloved replacement) and gummy-ship/worldmap music changes to match earlier KH titles.>Gameplay & systems overhauls: reworked level-up/progression (spreads major abilities through to Lv99), equipment and shop overhauls, new keyblade acquisition timing (use world keyblades in their worlds), integration of Oathkeeper/Oblivion into normal progression, expanded critical mode, improved party AI and party stats, and many item/ability tweaks.>Combat & movement: KH2-style move swaps (upper slash, aerial dodge/parry, retaliating slash), reworked combo finishes, revamped spells, improved Sora movement (configurable), enemy health bars, camera changes (dynamic FOV), and arena/data-fight arena improvements.>New / imported content: ported secret boss (Zodiac Phantom Aqua), expanded data-grading/maps, a custom Traverse Town gummy world (work-in-progress), a fully featured arena/coliseum mod (with cups and the crown reward), unique data-battle arenas for many fights, and miscellaneous world exploration changes (e.g., open Scared Kylum, Destiny Islands access).>Quality-of-life & extras: photo-mode-like camera control, larger safe-slot limit, rename “Withstand Combo” back to “Once More,” removal of wall-run glow, and the required KH3 mod loader (F1 to access).i discovered ai tools to summarize the video's audio transcript to avoid giving views to these fags

>>544567702already did, and found it
God we really need news.
Remember when Square invested heavily in NFTsAnd also a Kingdom Hearts chair....? Weird times.
Is there a best story order for BBS?
>>544578442Terra -> Ventus -> AquaDoing it this way extends the story endings in chronological sequence.
>>544573895>And also a Kingdom Hearts chair....?Better investment than an NFT>>544578695It's a good story order, but gameplay wise I always feel like Aqua clears Terra/Ventus campaigns easily.
>>544578442There's no correct order. But for years everyone recommends this order >>544578695 because it follows the narrative timeline and builds the story logically leading into the final and secret episodes.I think there's an interview where Nomura also suggest the order to be terra ventus and aqua but I might be misremembering
>>544573895I try to forget
>>544573895truly times when the darkness ruled.
>>544573895At the very least SE didn't shove NFTs in KH merch like they did with some FF7 merch
>>544595565It's a fucking miracle SE is still alive despite every attempt at self-sabotage.
>Ninja Gaiden 4 is released>KH2 starts getting slanderedAmazing
>>544460951>>544461825>>544465679I click on that site Occassionaly and god only knows when was the last time anything was updated.
>>544499660>Why did the data room with all the boss fights have the same aesthetic as Castle Oblivion? I dont care if there's even just an out of universe reason I always found that weird.Probably because it was based around the memory of the org. It's a split between that and the castle that never was aesthethics.
>>544595853All they back since the Spirits within days
Rosy Dancer takes a walk through Halloween Town, in the appropriate form of course! She made it herself you know.
>>544605747KH4 will include a calendar system like days and rip off persona's social links and daily life gameplay and it will be all the better for it. Screencap this.
I sincerely hope that Kh4's enemy ai is way smarter
>>544610395Like I want more enemies to be able to block and counterattack, use feints, use buffing magic on allies, heal themselves and shit, etc etc.
nothingness
>>544619858is eternal!
>>544595853Everything around YoshiP helming a FF16 after the success of FF14 was really funny to me. Especially now FF14 is a sinking ship. And today someone reminded me Square did Balan Wonderworld and Foamstars. Goddamn.Nomura must feel like Luxu and his bosses are the MoM.
>>544603538Theres a reason Nomura made Eraqus (anagram of Square) look like Sakaguchi.>Lives on a secluded island>Sakaguchi moved to Hawaii and made their studios there I dont want to read too much into it but both kind of royally fucked up. Eraqus getting a funeral is basically like Nomura saying goodbye him. I'm already reading too much into it probabaly but still
>>544630958>Eraqus getting a funeralI mean the goodbye in KH3. Someone save Nomura from Square please.
Feel like Xion and Roxas must be the most popular characters in the franchise with how much art they get.
>>544610395>>544610624they need harder difficulties to actually do more instead "uuuuuh bigger numbers (but also, you get a shitload of advantages lol)"unironically 3D is the only game where critical mode actually made enemies more aggressive and stuff
>>544602761Someone want to give the TLDR?
>>544634076Going camping with Xion
>>544609249I want bite Xion on her collarbone
I still have Agrabah fatigue, I haven't gotten over the search for Abu.
Do you think the KH team has the same mentality now?
>>544658240It's probably harder now since square has gone full retard with its release schedules so teams can't really compete against each other in the same way.

I like running through R/R as fast as possible since leveling isn't as important when duels do so much damage.
>>544657719GOATrabah will return in KH4
This is bizarre. Even the most die-hard KH2 fan online wouldn't say to skip KH1.
>>544672060KH2 tards only want people to play KH2. Very cult like.
>>544672819Eating sea salt ice cream with Xion
I really like Riku and Mickey's relationship.
Killing Ansem with Dark Aura is kino.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time with Reverse/Rebirth. I like Re: COM a lot to begin with, but my only real complaint with Riku's side is that some of the floor layouts are too large to get from the start to the boss, and then I have to make my way to the Conqueror's Respite rather than getting teleported there like on Sora's side. Looking forward to getting to 2 next. How is your series replay going, anon?
>>544646557>>544610624I mean if 90% of enemies had moves that wasn't just flailing around and lobbing the occasional projectile they'd be able to do more with them
>>544677675whoa who's that kid
>>544677675>How is your series replay going, anon?Playing through the data org fights in KH3 on crit. Got YX, Larxene, Xigbar, Xemnas, Luxord, and Marluxia done.
>>544677762There's still layers to that, like how aggressive enemies are or even idk how fast they are, or whether they have erratic, harder to predict, movement patterns and lots morelike imagine any of the previous KH games but on critical as soon as heartless' spawn they're already on your ass, and then they start moving around doing feints and whatnotof course it's not all epic to the max cause it also means more of shit like pic related, but still again there are layers to it
>>544683672well that's my point, the most you can do is speed up their movement, or cut the time between when they attempt an attack move, because 99% of heartless have a single attack animationIt would be harder, but not more complex like the one anon was alluding to with enemies working together and stuff
>>544678814BHK
>>544686184it could be made to work like that i guess, i'm sure even with one attack each you can make specific enemies always attack one after the other if their attacks synergize well
light
come on sora
>bring data xemnas to 1 health bar>accidentally turn on rage form>it's so fucking over>still manage to win>same thing happens with data replikuholy fuck
>>544672060Actual psychotics having you skip the actual most comfy entry by a mile.
should KH rethink how it write its female characters?
Imagine all the cute twi- GIRLS cosplaying as Halloween Town Sora...
>>544711187No wait, continue with your original though because I think the same about Xion and Roxas. Also now that China has the elixir of twink youth it's made me reevaluate many things.
>>544712990Why was Saix so fucking mean to her? Literally because he was just jealous?
>>544710551There's really no faster way to throw out someone's opinion on the franchise than complaining about the way KH treats women.
Happy 2 year anniversary
>>544717726It might be wild to say but it has one of the best dearly beloveds.
>>544711187Imagine a cute girl cosplaying as Aqua...
Merch News:New KH plushies will be available in select japanese arcades and in online stores during November The new plushies are:>Sora>Christmas Town Sora>Roxas>Shadow Heartless >Sora Dive to the Heart (red color with the CoM artwork, yellow with the ReCoded artwork and purple with the KH1 boxart illustration)
>>544725238the merch series that used to have games
>>544717726Expedition 33, a game completely unrelated to Square Enix and that Nomura has never had a hand in, got art drawn by him before we've heard anything else about KH4. KH4 is cancelled, pack it up bros.,
>>544710551Submit all twitter posters to Darkness
are the remakes strictly better than the originals? haven't played since i was a kid, thinking about playing through the series
>>544672060First of all kill all Twitter screenshot posters but also it's some sort of Genwunner mentality. It can happen for sequels sometimes too somehow.
>>544731332Pretty much yeah. Except CoM which is down to preference for gameplay because it's the only drastically different one and 2 games that just became cutscene collections.
>>544731332They're not remakes like in the case with ff7remake. The HD collection are ports with QoL changes, improved textures and better performanceThe games that were from the Nintendo' DS (Days and ReCoded) were turned into movies
>>544720450Go to Tokyo Disneyland. All the KH cosplayers are there

>>544741000That's because it's a preview of the KH4 Halloween town keyblade!
>>544742106Don't post vtubers here.
Any good kh1 mods?
>>544746007There's a playable Kairi mod. You aren't sexist are you anon?
>>544727539>>544739692Blown the fuck out. Nomura totally pwned you lamer.
>>544747270That's not KH4 art so it confirms Nomura is trying to return to the past to comfort himself as KH4 is cancelled.
>>544739692He just casually dropped a new Halloween town keyblade out of nowhere. Someone has to mod this in KH1 and 2 now I want to beat shit up with a dead rat.
>>544739692Why did sora impale a metal rod up a rat's asshole
>>544747397The more you cope the sooner you rope
>>544740004>>544739692>>544725238Halloween news!

>>544739692>trick>10>treat
>>544759750it's "or"
>>544766360Let's say he's right. Is Nomura threatening 10 tricks or begging for 10 treats?
>>544740004i'm counting this as news.
>>544766360>>544769145>10>more like>x
>>544770308reminder that Nomura has gone on record saying he does shit like this on purpose, even when there's no meaning or hidden message to it, cause he likes seeing people losing their minds like this

>>544770308I'm not falling for the fake barbie giving away the releass date shit againThere are 14 jack o lanterns for each xehanort through
>>544771265>square should've thought of thisthey did, the first trailers for bbs had that. Why they went back on it thought idk
someone needs to make aqua a mother already
>>544777591firing up my going into games machine as we speak
>>544747159Yes, but I'll still play as Kairi. Especially if she's naked.
>>544747397>implying KH1 Sora (in some form) won't show up in KH4 like he has in (almost) every other KH game
>>544779594Roxas should have looked like this.
>>544779682Imagine.
>>544780216I like the hair but what the fuck is going on with his clothes.

>>544746246who's that behind Sora?
>>544747456That's Sparky the Frankenweenie you fucking uncultured swine
>>544770308I don't get it.
>>544803387A Frankenweenie summon would actually be really cute.
>>544567216TGJ is such a joke, going through mods for four days and then slapping a Final Mix logo on the game as is only contribution is embarassing
>>544811052They're really leaving money on the table keeping Vanitas "dead" (for now). I kinda respect the restraint.
>>544815072A mod collection is fine, what's embarrassing is that guy I saw that claimed he could remaster Mario better than Nintendo in a shorter amount of time while he just installed a couple of mods other people made to make the games look better and somehow it took him four days.
>>544815338It's hardly restraint when there's been almost no opportunity to revive him.
THIS IS HALLOWEEN
>>544552582Years of mods and the only one that actually looks good and like a natural addition to the game is the Coliseum
I wanted to see MX, YX, Terra-Xehanort, Xemnas, and Ansem interact with each other.
>>544836370You ever talk to yourself? That's all it is.
>>544837754Sora's dumbass would eat all of that in one sitting.
Imagine it Sora and Jack went to 4th of July Town
You are replaying the Halloween Town levels tonight right?
>>544843293Yup and this time I'll also replay the HT levels from Days thanks to Melon Mix
why do so many KH players dedicate themselves to ruining the gameplay of the games? why so much disrespect to Nomura's choices with these mods? If you play with a mod, you're not a KH fan.
>>544849176Illegal sex with KH1 Kairi
54 DAYS LEFT UNTIL CHRISTMAS 364 DAYS LEFT UNTIL HALLOWEEN
>>544853748I didn't know sex was illegal.
But seriously, KH4 is coming out next year. Right?
>>544869697nice april fool joke
>>544869697yessource: Nomura told me in my dreams
I guess I could go to a really nice restaurant like one time or buy the third game for PC/go to a nice restaurant once and buy the third game for PC when it's on sale. I loved the first few games, but I don't have the commitment to get the third one. I'm afraid...
>>544890730Very schizo post
>>544796753Noctis, he's wearing Ardyn's outfit
>>544807114I wonder if Disney is still doing that autistic "you can't have characters from different IP's showing up" which made them have to do the elemental shit they did for KH3's summons

>>544796753At first glance I thought it was one of the Twisted Wonderland boys but after giving it another look I realized I was wrong and it's what's this anon said >>544898891
>>544739692>KH1 had Pumpkinhead>Kh2 had Decisive Pumpkin Guess the name of this new Halloween keyblade
>>544929264Rat in a box

>>544869697KH4 was cancelled
>>544929264What's that in the keychain? A cat?
>>544929264Spookaboo
KH4 will run like ass.
>>544934735Sora will run with his legs, not his ass silly.
>>544929264If we're trying to keep the trend of having the word pumpkin in it and taking into account the small creature and how the keyblade looks pretty small and fragile I come up with these ones:>Wee-Be-Punpkin>Pumpkin Creepyvine>Pocket Pumpkin
>>544929264guess we know which keyblade has the best russy
>>544929264Rat in a Box
Angy Greasewild! She didn't get your banana!
>>544783461I don't like cats much but Aqua still looks irresistible with those ears.
is it canon that Sora could whup all their asses 4 v 1
>>544974167Their KH versions, yeah. Their original versions? Wew.
>>544969839who's that?
>>544985020Twisted Wonderland character
>>544987493>>544969839Fucking hell I thought this was Joker from Persona 5
>>544987493Every KH girl shlicks to him.
KH is the only game series i still enjoy
>>544739692>>544929264The tip of the keyblade has an animal that resembles Sparky from 2012's Frankenweenie. New World?
>>545005585We are so back KH4 kings
>>545005585Isn't it just the one of the creatures from NBC? It looks really familiar.
>>544929264Someone made a mod and called it Frightmare
>>545012716>Frightmare I kinda like that name
>>544985107i really hate this image. don't ever post it again.
>>545009813I'm inclined to believe it's from NBC too. The keyblade resembling a jack in the box reminds me of the presents made by Jack & co.

>>545057034ah yes, Re:ML
>looking up images of the the KH cosplayers that went to Disneyland on Halloween >found pic related Lmao this shit it's hilarious and adorable
>>544899071>"you can't have characters from different IP's showing up" which made them have to do the elemental shit they did for KH3's summonsWait what? what do you mean?
Its been 10 years since the last KH game
>>545077402That's an adorable couple.
>>545083215In KH3 Summons are elementals and don't make any sounds or speak because Disney got a lot more stringent about how characters from different IPs interact>Q: How did you select the characters for links?>A: Regarding links: During talks with Disney, we were asked to stop calling characters from other worlds into whichever world Sora was currently in. But, that meant we wouldn't be able to make a summon technique like past titles. So, we went with the premise that a connection with Sora's heart calls the characters forth as magic. I thought combining them with magic would have the most impact, so we settled on having "Simba+Fire" and "Ariel+Water" and the like.Ever since KH1 they've had rules about IP's interacting like this Nomura: At first, I wanted to put in a scene where all of the princesses would be captured in Hollow Bastion and then each of their respective princes will come and save them. That idea was rejected but I was at least able to keep the part with the princesses.>—Were there any ideas from Disney or Square that the other group didn’t agree with?>Akiyama: We had quite a bit of freedom crafting the storyline by combining various worlds through a theme, but one rule we had to go by was that characters from independent stories do not cross over with each other – meaning Aladdin would not meet Tarzan. Within the game, each world is depicted like a planet floating in space and Aladdin would not travel with Tarzan [Goofy, Donald, and the Princesses of Heart were the exceptions]. However, there were a few ideas in the early scripts that got rejected – they all had to do with the “bathroom”. I don’t think there were any other strict guidelines other than that.>Nomura: I wanted to include Walt Disney in the game, but that got rejected!
>>545095712But why, you ask? For brand purposes>In what might seem like a counter-intuitive approach, Square’s found that the more outlandish a change its wants to make to a character, the more likely it is to be approved with little fuss by Disney. The Lion King’s Simba, for example, appears as what co-director Tai Yasue calls a “fire entity”. It seems like a tall order, but Yasue says they “didn't have a lot of difficulty.”>The point is that, if you’re changing the character enough, it’s no longer imitating Disney. “He's not Simba”, he explains. “So we showed Disney our drawings and everything, and shared that, and we got that approved. But at the same time, it wasn't the real character. So I think, in that respect, it was easier.”
>>545028785Here's my fuckin' question. Pay attention to WHAT? The speech pattern? The way the voice sounds? Sigurd was barely in UX and his lines were sorta basic! It's friggin' crazy how Nomura said "oh the voice in the trailer is someone who appeared before" and it just happens to be the unvoiced character we barely got a read on that showed up at the last minute and we only figured that out from a secret message in an anniversary message
Need Fancy Ladies.
>>545098447Iirc his tone of voice sounds different in the ML and 4 trailer

>>545117165No it wasn't, because the original game lacks Nobodies as a concept entirely. They weren't introduced until KHFM.
>>545149315I know that feel anon. Being old is awful.

Take your time. The door is still shut.
>>545170306I opened the door long ago
>>545173052Take your time.
>>545095839>>545095712I know it was a different time, but makes you wonder how disney even okayed the IP to begin with if crossover was a problemDamn I never really questioned the KH3 summons because I thought they were just having fun with magicwait, what about Ralph? He was normal and not elemental. Is it because he is already in a cross IP movie?
>>545186617Ralph was also "elemental", though he had the most subtle texture change, looking just a bit digital. He doesn't appear as just himself like Meow Wow or the summons from past games.
>>545188256I mean, technically he is digital? He's a videogame character. So it's the most accurate of the summons.
>>545188426I think that basically acted as a little loophole for the team to not drastically change him. That or being in the same era of films Tangled, Frozen, and Big Hero 6, so they had less or no restrictions, and just gave him that effect so that all the Disney summons would have a similar visual theming.Either way I hope Disney realized that was stupid so that whatever summons appear in IV show up in their full visual capacity. They probably did with all the Fortnite crap they've been doing.
dorkness
>>545077402Fucking d'awwww. The spirit of this whole Kingdom Hearts thing can be so cute.>>545086129That is a nice little redhead.>>545101205This particular combo became real funny not too long ago. But that is what happens when you drop a large cadre of characters all at once and then only flesh them out 20 years later.
>>544739692Extremely weird that old as fuck Nomura who is going to die soon randomly decides one day:>Oh FUCK, Halloween is soon! I need to draw art for my 25 year old series that didn't have a game for half a decade and post it somewhere!!!
No amount of sales will make up for the 6+ year development time. SE's fucking broken at the core.
Playing DMC1 and i love the horror aspects, the way evil and the presence of the profane has quite literally warped space and time and filled the inanimate with life reminds me of teh realm of darkness. Wish they emphasized how much darkness corrupts the worlds when the heartless are around, like how in KH1 Tarzan flowers blackened and died when the heartless drew near. Like imagine a heavy darkness presence making the area into a mini realm of darkness. Speaking of which, the organic aesthetic of many parts of dmc1 made me think of World of Chaos, specifically the inner parts where that huge writhing heart section is. Wish they would use a little more of that aesthetic. Shit why the fuck did only dark thorn in KH2 do that. Well I guess trying to do that now would have basically bankrupted them considering how much detail goes into levels now and how much work it takes. Would have been something only possible in the old days so it's too late.
>>545117165That's not why they're called like that
>>545233842Oh and this makes me really curious to see how they'll do this realistic aesthetic for KH4 when it comes to heartless. I quite like the shadow looking enemies.
Most KH modders are incapable of creating movesets that don't have 50 hits in base form. Makes Master, Final, Double, and Ultimate forms look quaint by comparison.
>>545244134as always i blame KH2
>>545252656Based
>>545252656also didn't do anything for us during Katrina
>>544739692>not day of the dead artCoco DECONFIRMED
i think disney immediately pivoted on their policy after KH3's release because they had a ton of crossover games/content in the 2020s. or they for some reason didn't trust the KH team, but they would be weird.
>>544739692do you think he has to go through a legal hurdle to design one keyblade for a random piece of art or even to share a drawing in general?
>>544849379i agree
>>545273409>for a random piece of art or even to share a drawing in generalFrom the way grok translated it (lol) it sounds like the social media team had all that ready and stamped a copyright on it after asking him for art for their Twitter
I was tired waiting for KH4 so I played Clair Obscur Expediton 33 and I just think it's funny everyone loves a game series literally called LIGHT DARK after being mocked for our darkness within darkness and door to darkness etc. for so long. (I know it's a NES Final Fantasy thing too but that also is funny to me.) I wonderIf the devs were fans of KH too because it also starts on an island with a character who wants to leave which I know is fucking generic hero with 1000 faces Luke Skywalker shit but still. Theres a fucking Riku extending hand moment I swear to god but I cant find a picture.Square literally all you have to do is make Kingdom Hearts 4, a Yoko Taro game and Dragon Quest 12 before I have a midlife crisis and/or die and I'll come back to you... I posted this earlier and deleted it for some reason I don't remember. No news is driving me crazy.
>>545270434I remember people posting a lot of weird (but good) stuff that seemed to imply Disney were more lax. Like that announcement where some new guy was calling for devs to make pitches for games for them and they name dropped Nomura and KH or something. I wonder what kind of hell Nomura has to go through to get Star Wars. Imagine if they just said fuck it and let him do whatever and that's why KH4 is taking so long....
>>545281628I don't want Star Wars
>>545233842>Would have been something only possible in the old days so it's too late.World of Chaos was such a great link to the old Final Fantasy games without it being explicit. Especially when you realize Nomura started out as a monster designer. I consider Vanitas to be using that aesthetic though because his suit is based on the dark suit, which was heavily linked to Ansem before be became World of Chaos which even had a double Soul Reaver. So I'm hoping that Darknesses and Vanitas will have that aesthetic and more monstrous forms with it like boat Ansem.
>>545281928Why not?
>>545282374I can't think of a single more overrated franchise than Star Wars. It has two good films from 50 years ago. It is trash.
>>545281628>I wonder what kind of hell Nomura has to go through to get Star WarsConsidering literally everything related to SW in the last years flopped and no one at Disney gives a fuck about it I doubt Nomura needs to do anything
>>545235215We've only see 'unreality' purebloods so I wonder what the wacky ass emblem heartless would look like over there. Or anything and anyone really. Especially Nobodies. We still havent seen Riku
Imagine all the coomer art Nomura draws but can never ever show anyone.
>>545281230Nomura became more active with artwork this year. Sephiroth Magic card, this Clair promo, KH Halloween art. Seems like he's not dying soon.
>>545282949>Seems like he's not dying soon.Holy shit dont jinx itGod I would have never played Missing Link but I'm so fucking mad we never even got to see Nomura character art for it before it was shitcanned. His designs for the gacha games become some.of
>>545283295Some of my favourite*
>>545283295I'm sure Nomura won't let all that stuff just die. He'll implement it some how. Maybe KH4 dlc.
2025... I am forgotten.
We'll get another rhythm game featuring the scrapped cutscenes.
>>545287758I can dig it
>>545283141
>>545287758melody of memory 2 instead of pokemon go? this is the good timeline.
When Riku takes Sora's keyblade in Traverse Town without Sora noticing, is that because Riku briefly managed to summon the keyblade to his hand? Sora's stupid, but surely he'd notice Riku coming up and prying the keyblade from his fingers.
