>>570798663Is this guy going to be Sigurd or a completely new character?
I can understand people thinking Disney has a had in how worlds play, but I think they're overestimating how much that company influences worlds chosen. You think Disney would want to advertise Alice in Wonderland in 2002? Tron in 2005? Fantasia and Pinocchio in 2012? Hercules, Monsters Inc., and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End in 2019?We got Frozen because Nomura wanted it, and that's still somehow a hard pill to swallow.
NOMURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I saw this on Twitter the other dayIs this the correct watching order for the mobile game?
>>570798663good jaw bro
Maybe Max will show up in KH 4 since it could be a parallel to Sora growing up.
It's over
Boas fight soon
>>570810624*Boss
Boas soon.

>>570807554It would be weird if Goofy didn't have a kid for 10 games and out of thin air he's a father now
>>570811907he's always been one, you just didn't ask
>>570811907goofy knew donald zettaflare before he use it he know things we dont....
Should really get a PC that could run a UE5 game at 60fps before IV releases>these pricesAh who am I kidding, I'll just stick with the PS5
Do any of you guys know where to get an APK for the Japanese version of UXDR?
Any third worlders here that like Kingdom hearts? I'm Zaib from Kenya
>>570825417What a strange post to make
Fuck off spammy
>>570805678Where is this? I've never seen KH clothing in Japan the other merchandise is easy enough
>>570829797At Graniph's stores.You can also buy and preorder some of the KH clothes online https://www.graniph.com/collection/collection_00440?srsltid=AfmBOopus6CwNHrImoJBVBm6IQ2OoFkJZoKCPbgdtX5opVcfebmfue8e
>>570825417How were you able to play the newer games?

>>570839883Kairi needs to go back to showing off her tummy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtC4sjABZNwDisney movies are getting so bland I legitimately think it's going to ruin Kingdom Hearts for me if they end up having to use shit like Hexed. I have a deep fear that Disney Worlds in unreality will have all those shitty live action remakes.
>>570852127sex with hexed girl
>>570852127they obviously need a creative with a cohesive vision to have some sway at the higher level of the company like they used to (Walt, Jeffery Katzenberg, John Lasseter) instead of just business men.
>>570853017They should make Nomura the CEO of disney
so i decided to watch to damo279's fandub to get caught up on the mobile game storyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRUt8q2IwR4&t=5920sis 1:35:25 - 1:53:40 correct?>ava witnesses aced strike gula , seriously injuring him>then for some reason travels to underneath the tower disguised as ira to battle player and skuld so she could reveal her true plan for Ephemer and the rest of the Dandelions>to then travel back to the alley where gula is bleeding out to prevent ira from confronting himmaybe it's just he fucked up the timeline but this part of the story is just strangely paced i guess
>>570852606all new Disney girls (and their moms) belong to Sora

>>570798663When did you realize Xehanort in his youth abused the power of waking just like Sora?

nomura is gonna make fortnite canon to kh :(
>>570872368I don't believe in the fortnite rumor.
>>570873628they added KH music to the Rocket League filesit's happening
>>570872343Literally me.
>>570872343Me on the right.
Sorry to say this but the current realistic style they are going for looks like garbage. It's not even final fantasy tier.
>>570852127>having to useIs there a single example so far of KH being mandated by Disney to use a given property?Far as I know, the team comes up with their own ideas, and then requests Disney for permission.
>>570881194we're gonna get more cartoony worlds, trust the plan
>>570884227Chicken Little summon in KH2 probably
>>570884227Chicken Little got in KH2 before it's movie even debuted in Japan
>>570884715The team gets to see advance screenings
>>570799160Mel knows her stuff and does her research so yes (she's the one behind the Secret Reports YouTube channel)Her only weakness is a complete blind spot to the JP scriptThe only thing wrong with that image is that the URLs for the χ[chi] secret ending are reversedPersonally I think *most* of Wreck-It Ralph is still skippable though
>>570800436not bad, but it could be better. any more of this around?
>>570865314The implications that Xehanort abused the Power of Waking are kind of crazy, because unless Xehanort lost his memories or never encountered Luxu/Xigbar, it means he knowingly brought Luxu into OrgXIII 60ish years later.
>>570885696I need to watch the video she released last month.
>>570865314>kills people to turn them into hollow husks>sacrifices young teenagers to get a new body>also kills himself in his new body to be split into two>time travels essentially creating a timeloop>Kingdom Hearts Universe decides he get away scot-free
You know when Kingdom Hearts autism is real shit, when Sora first released in Smash some people saw the particle effects of the little platform Mario was standing on fade into light and instantly thought of Kingdom Hearts,
>>570884656>>570884715>>570884849— The summon roster has changed since the last game. How were these four characters chosen?Kanemori: Lilo & Stitch was a fairly new movie back when we first started development, so there were a lot of people asking for Stitch within the company. We made the decision to include him at a very early stage.As for Chicken Little, when we were trying to decide who to choose as summons, we found ourselves struggling to find the perfect fit. I thought, in that case, it might be interesting to use a character from a movie that hadn't been released yet.Kando: It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Since it's a brand new movie, we didn't have any material to work with, so I had to watch the trailer over and over again to make the motions (laughs).Kanemori: Genie is inherently able to transform, so we wanted to try and make use of that skill. Originally, we planned to have him transform into a martial artist or a guardsman. In the end, various aspects proved difficult to realize, so after some back and forth, we decided to settle on Form Changes.Peter Pan was chosen because he was a popular character in the original game. The item used to summon him is found in a treasure chest in Port Royal, which offers a "connection" through the shared use of pirates.
>>570889006The Kingdom Hearts universe considers dumping things into Unreality to not be its problem. Sora ripped a hole in the fabric of the universe and got sent there despite the fact he eas pretty dangerous to it. Im assuming some power like that was taken away though (and that might be the excuse to level 1 sora again this game.)
>>570884227I keanr having to use as in one day there won't be any good modern movies left for them to use. The most recent Disney movie I liked was 10 years ago now...
>>570893884Well, loathe as some fans are to the idea, the option to reuse worlds is always there (and I think they should)
>>570871645This was the weirdest retcon even weirder than Mickey's shirt. At least Young Xehanort the 14th will grow up and not br a baldlet
>>570893648It would be more accurate to say Sora got evicted
>>570894029It would be nice to see Wonderland outside of that weird box thing they were going for in 1, and DS graphics and Lilo and Stitch's Hawaii. Wreck it Ralph outside of the gacha too. A lot of modern movies have sequels so idk if that would count as reusing worlds/not using bad worlds. Like I want to return to Tron but I guess Id be tron ares.
>>570894520>It would be nice to see Wonderland outside of that weird box thing they were going for in 1After KH1/CoM/Days/Recoded, I'm so fucking exhausted of visiting those same worlds. BUT if they made Wonderland feel huge like an actual world, I'm all in.
>get recommended a Kingdom Hearts theory video about sleeping beauty parallels with KH and especially the KH4 >its actually just another Riku is gay video in disguise >but you don't know that till 15 minutes in>10 of that is explaining what KH isKill all "video essayists'
>>570902057another sleeping realms theory victimwe have support groups for that
>>570798663Still can't believe KH4 got announced in a fucking tendie direct of all things. It doesn't even look like KH anymore.
>>570903393the flood gates were opened when this happenedanything is possible
>>570852127I just can't be assed to sweat over world choices when it always comes down to execution rather than the film's quality. The Little Mermaid? Great movie. Atlantica, both versions? Yeesh.
>>570903393KH4 got announced in the kh 20th anniversary event
Most Keyblade Wielders are Maleficent victims unironically and chances are everyone who's OC is canon thanks to 3 is fodder.Lauriam couldn't win 1v1 and he's a leader everyone else is fodder. Player won but he's twice as strong as the union leaders and the Dandelios are already the best of the fodder.
>>570893648>Im assuming some power like that was taken away though (and that might be the excuse to level 1 sora again this game.)Already confirmed in Remind.
dorkness
>>570908638yeah for me disney worlds only matter for "videogame level" potential.
light within light
>>570909957Yeah I was thinking about that a while ago. If the upper classmen jobbed to Maleficent, then Eraqus put in a shit load of work with TAV considering Aqua was able to beat her. And then think about how Sora was able to do it as well.
I bet Maleficent is a bad bitch underneath those robes
>>570923260Keyblade wielders just get better with every generation, I supposeSave for old prodigies like the Lost Masters and Xehanort
>>570923515glad I'm not the only one who's thought about this
>>570920137This.WHERE THE FUCK IS IT DISNEY
>>570923515shut up Pete
>>570924409>this movie flopped cause of ice age>ice age now belongs to disney, and they're making a new one
>>570924436Doesn't Pete already have a wife?
Is a shame neither X cross nor Dark road could get this treatment
>>570928054In some continuities both Pete and Goofy have sons. Apparently not here though.
>>570929068You could easily do both. UX is a bit tricky if they want to do it properly. NG should be just [chi], then you do NG+ and realize you're in Unchained X, after that you get a second campaign that covers Union X [cross]. Dark Road is perfect for a short 5-10 hour game.
>>570929068If only it weren't for those nier guys>>570808443We need a Re:Union X
>>570935052Unchain X and union ax remake with darl road as dlc
What happened to those shounen slop sora does in 2He barely did them in 3 except that one scene in the big hero six world
>>570942092>What happened to those shounen slop sora does in 2People didnt like them, so they were removed.
>>570942092Unwashed masses complained about press triangle to win and now we have to live with the consequences.
>>570808443I felt the most likely the next one will be Re:Universe to adapt Polka's Story.NieR and KH both will have focus in their next game but doubt Taro nor Nomura want to focus on that
>>570942092KH takes fan criticism very seriouslyhttps://youtu.be/FC-avN1eDoQ
>>570894053>At least Young Xehanort the 14th will grow up and not br a baldletbut what if he has male pattern baldness
>>570942328>>570942447>>570944516I see, criticism towards reaction commands being press to winFair, could've done it like the samurais and gambler reactionsStill, base kh3 sora feels less "powerful" in a way. He does have Za spells that nukes the area and form change but he's keyblade proficiency look worse in base form from presentation
RCs are not canon anywayTheir removal was inconsequential
>>570947228>but he's keyblade proficiency look worse in base form from presentationthat's simply cause he canonically loses his powers and skill with every game, so much so they already made a joke about it back in 2.8
>>570948863I think it's funny because his "level 1" state in every new game isn't putting on the same footing as his KH1 self. I feel like he retains enough each time he reverts to where he still feels more powerful at the start of each game he's in than the start of the prior one.
>>570949861i mean it's not like he forgets what he did previously or anything, he's literally magically stripped of his "powers" everytime, which KH1 already had sometimes as physical objects somehow. Except for com into kh2, where he does indeed forgets that stuff too, but still
>>570949861I think by having sora defeat rick and ice titans who were end game bosses in kh1 in kh3s first world is a great way to show that despite losing his powers he is still more skillfull than in kh1s beginning
>>570947482the laser dome is canon though
>>570923260I mean Sora and Aqua also had help fighting her. Sora canonically has Donald, Goofy and Beast helping him, while Aqua has Prince Philip with his enchanted sword and shield. Heck even Player had Prince Philip helping them. Holder went and faced Maleficent alone. And Maleficent didn't even kill her. Greatly weaken her but the one who actually finished her off was Baldr's Darkness. Same for the other 3. In fact, looking at the scene again, it looks like Sigrun, Hemidall and Helgi had beaten her back, or at least were still alive when his Darkness hit them from behind and killed them. Of course, we learned this from Baldr, who's actively lying about having killed Bragi so eh? Conclusion: 1v1 Maleficent sweeps. More than that, the power of friendship saves the day (or at least let's you limp through it).
>>570950865>Conclusion: 1v1 Maleficent sweepsWith the sole exception of my GOAT data-sora of course
https://www.unrealengine.com/news/the-road-to-ue-6can't wait for Kingdom Hearts 5
>>5709523455 is still full of fucking shitwhat the hell is 6 suppose to do?
>>570952067TRUE! Can't be believe I forgot Data-Sora (I can, actually. The amount of times I needed to restart that section because I wanted to go in with a full Wind Spin for my speed run trophy... Nope! Repressing!).
I am still hoping that the giga drill RC from the first KH4 trailer is real cause Sora used the darkness energy coming out of Neo Darkside's fist after he blocked itSora finally tapping into that darkness on his own free will would be something
Kingdom Hearts before:>Wholesome game for children about cartoonsKingdom Hearts now:>Dead serious game about anime characters fighting each otherWhat happened?
>mention how I wouldn't mind seeig a Lilo and Stitch return to Hawaii >just learned her voice actress died today so she wouldn't be able to reprise her even if it did happenDamn
>>570955678>What happened?kingdom hearts 2 trying to be more anime
>>570956527You say that like Sora vs Riku/Ansem posessing Riku wasnt a huge part of KH1. And Sephiroth was a beloved superboss. And Mystery Nigga happened. COM did the organization first too.
>>570955678XIII Versus got cancelled Supposedly it would've been connected to KH more than just cameos like cloud, leon amd the gang yeah? It's going to be the edgy side while KH remains whimsical with some edge like 2Then it got canned and now here we are, Nomura putting his love anger, sorrow and everything into KH for better or worse
>>570956828I can't see KH4 not being whimsicle even with the themes of death, realism and Versus 13 stuff. Wasn't Versus 13 inspired by stuff like Romeo + Juliet (the weird modern remake) and thought abouf making a musical at one point (not sure it was a joke or not.)We already know Hades is going to be important and will go with the themes of death. Donald and Goofy will meet him.l and Mickey is going to be exploring the mysteries of Scala ad Caelum. Makeficent and Pete have some sort of plan to get the box which ties her and Pete into it all. (Oh god imafine Quadratum Maleficent and Pete.) There's also been a bigger focus in Disney Merlin like characters being important to the bigger lore, so I don't think that would stop. Like Fairy Godmother in MoM and Magic Mirror in Dark Road. And you can still have whimsey in the Versus 13 parts it doesnt just have to be Disney.
>>570952638>what the hell is 6 suppose to do?delay kingdom hearts 4 while they switch to it from 5
>>570947482All of them were canon. Even that one.
>>570955678>What happened?Goofy died.
>>570955678KH1 is the darkest game though
>>570955678The secret endings to KH1 btwhttps://youtu.be/fOtXZp3B-tc
>>570956728>You say that like Sora vs Riku/Ansem posessing Riku wasnt a huge part of KH1While riku is indeed very anime, i would argue that the final bosses of 1 and 2 are very different in feeling. For example the "ship phase", world of chaos is you and your pals flying around this scary but cartoonish enemy and hitting these cartoony weak points and then slapping him in the face while he swings around every once in a while. On the other hand we have world of nothing/armored controller, where you slash throught buildings in that shonen anime way where the damage appears with a delay, then you parkour around the ship throwing enemies into the reactors until they explode, and later you throw whole buildings at him while your partner rides them.Then there is their "human" phase. Ansem is very jafar coded where he is this wizard floating around throwing magic energy balls at you and occasionally ramming at you. Xemnas is this black black leather coated hooded guy teleporting kicking and throwing you around, cloning himself, shooting lasers at you and jumping from a skyscraper to clash with you. Even their deaths feel very different, ansem is defeated by giving him what he wanted in a way he didnt want and disappearing, think of jafar or the horned kings defeats. Xemnas gets this action cutscene where he is comboed around and shot with a laser, and then growling in pain clutching his chest and fading away.>Sephiroth was a beloved superbossTrue, but he is also a pre established character with a pre established fighting style.>And Mystery Nigga happened. >COM did the organization first too.These were done to give a taste of whats to come in kh2
>>570956448>she was also the ring girl>which she did the very same year as liloanyway big sad, especially given she was just like 35+ yo
>>570852127They could always reuse worlds, especially with Disney doubling down on sequels for their successful properties.It will probably take a while before things get stale, and with each game now taking ages to come out, I doubt Nomura will work another arc/saga after this one.
>>570924409It was planned for DDD and got scrapped early in developmentrip bozo
>>570955678>>Dead serious game about anime characters fighting each otherit's always been that way bro
>>570955678This is where storylines with Hero's Journey always lead. The Fish Out Of Water aspects of the early games cannot be replicated with experienced more mature Sora.
Is there a recommend youtube video that compiles the story/cutscenes for the mobile games? Preferably without any filler. I feel like now is a better time than any to get caught up on that stuff.
>>570973146damo's fandub is decent
>>570973146read the OP
>>570973146The playlist that's in the OP 8a pretty much the thing you're looking for. Out of all the Disney worlds, the Wreck it Ralph world is the only one where you have to watch the cutscenes since they have important plot relevant shit in there
Any reliable guide anywhere for quick megalixr farming in KH2?
>>570976050Living Bones drop elixirs in the pride lands.
>>570947228Sora has access to shit that would take you and hour to get in previous main games. He has dodge, gaurd and counter, all off the start. And by the end of the first level he's already as strong as he was near the end of the very first game and at least as good as he is near the first few worlds of KH2. He also can do all of that shit in the air and has airstep and shotlocks(which are a gameplay abstraction, one of them is literally just ragnarok). Nomura even said he gets keyblade transformations to show off his mastery of the keyblade. It's why I hope he has keyblade transformations in KH4, if he doesn't it feels like a huge regression.
>>570950481He casually blocks multiple chunks of buildings that the tornado titan throws at him.>>570956828I've yet to see a source for that claim. Certainly Nomura said he wanted to step away from the light cheerfulness and optimism of KH and into a more pessimistic and realistic world, and even made Noctis Sora's opposite on purpose, but actually bringing stuff from KH into FF or vice versa isn't anything he's mentioned far as I can tell.
the discourse around gameplay can be so tiring, but the fact more people are conceding that KH2 can also be floaty feels like a step in the right direction
>>570984901One thing I don't get is they seemed to set aside the potential relationship Roxas and Namine had in KH 2. It's as if they hoped everyone would forget while building chemistry for them both.
>>570987057They haven't spent any time together since then right? Not like they've had the ability to, but I see your point.
>>570955678You can only believe this if you only played KH1 and never made it to Hollow Bastion
>>570987057The whole 5 minutes they spent together.
I just had a cursed thought.>Sora's hair is brown>So is Squall's>Sora has copied some of Squall's poses (see one of his victory poses in smash for example)>We never see Sora's mom anywhere ever since her O.S voice in KH1>if i vaguely recall, Sora's room in the KH1 prologue had some motifs reminiscent of stuff related to a certain FF character whose name starts with R. I could be going insane and misremembering things though. Probably the latter>Quadratum is a thinly veiled reference to Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the original Final Fantasy XV, a "fantasy based on reality">Yozora, aka "Not-Noctis", has (iirc) a love interest whose hair is long and *black* (sound familiar?)>Said love interest is theorized to also be named Sora ("Why did you take the name Sora?" - Yozora fighting OUR Sora) as a plot point for... reasons>Versus XIII is not the first FF based on reality>Nomura's favorite numbers are 7 and 13>7 = VII, 13 = XIII>Remove II from VII and X from XIII and you get...FITHOS
>>570993775>Selphie from FF8 is one of the first FF characters you meet in KH, alongside FFX characters but I digress
>Squall (a sudden storm) and Rinoa (associated with light and morning). What do storms and light exist in?>Remember Sora's very first character design before Disney stepped in? He was a lion boy wielding a chainsaw-like blade. Who else has a massive lion motif and a mechanical sword?>Rinoa's surname is Heartilly
>Liberi Fatali translates directly from Latin to "Fated Children" or "Children of Destiny.">Where did Sora grow up?>Destiny Islands
>Destiny 2 dies the same day KH4 had a new trailerWait, this doesn't have any relevance to anything.
light!
Speaking of squallWhere the fuck is Rinoa in KH?Dead?
More twilight town
>>571002331Same thing that happened to Strelitzia
>Quadratum is latin for square
>>570997807I saw a quote from a magazine here that said Nomura mad Destiny Islands because he loved the beach in the ff8 intro which he woked on but I can never find it for proof.Everyone in FF8 except Rinoa grew up on a beach too. Edea's orphanage was right next to one. Apparently so did Nomura but I don'rt have proof either lol.
>>571004539I've been having these weird thoughts lately...
>>571004210Oh shit so that's why they changed the triangle wave aura thingy of the RC to a square shape
I'll be here... Why?... I'll be 'waiting' here... For What? I'll be waiting...for you...so... If you come here... You'll find me. I promise.
>>571005010>The FF8 into has what looks like clukd have inspired Radiant Garden, Destiny Islands, KBG>>570993775>The moon is in the sky almost every outside shot in FF8>The moon is featured prominently in Versus 13 trailers and KH3 secret ending>The FF8 moon is a gigantic red and blue eye>Yozora has red and blue eyes in whatever body he is in>FF8s moon is controlled by a giant black box>>570994162It was going to be Irvine at first but Nomura couldnt make his design fit DI enough.
>>571002331Leon gets a letter from her in the KH2 credits. This is pretty much all we got.
Nomura isn't remaking Versus XIII in KH4, hes been remaking FFVIII through KH this entire time from start to finish.
>>571008242>>FF8s moon is controlled by a giant black boxMOTHER FUCKER
>>570923260Yeah and aside from Player no one actually 1v1s Maleficent. Ventus had fairies and Maleficent didn't go full power, Aqua had Philip. Sora had DG & Beast.
>>571008725>imagine if beta Sora wasnt a Lion he was a Moomba this whole time>Heart time travel works like Ellone's mind junction time travel>a massive amount of war orphans made up Squall's generation which reminds me of KHUX or Dark Road>Maleficent is a bitch just like all the bitches in FF8 >Sorcerer Hyne was said to be split into two sort of like the Nobody and HeartlessYou might be onto something...
>>571009106Player didn't 1v1 her either. They also had Prince Philip help.
>>571009139The Hyne shit is the weirdest shit and I say that as a fan of KH. Its barely explained but the origin for everything and reminds me of a really dark version of KH. And its not even half as weird ad Fabula Nova Cryasalis lore. And we know Ff8 had a lot of cut stuff and I bet they had a ton of ideas for it.>God who created humans to use as tools to move a mountainBigger dick than MoM>falls asleep Ever since FF8 there have been sleep themes in his games. Dreaming into the past in 8. ff10. all over kingdom hearts.>wakes up burns all the children due to overpopulation>people revolt>Offers up half his body which has magic>Escapes with the other half>He tricked humans and only gave them his discarded skinNobodies are just bodies and if you ever look at the enemies they're weird skin things >One part escapes and its power survives in girls and womenShades of what would become the Darkness and Princesses of Light?Also...this is why I wish a real FF crossover happened in KH and not just alternate universe counterparts. Imagine if this crazy shit or jenova shit was canon.
Also Hyne is a skeleton... and nomura fucking loves skeletons. Holy shit what if the Master of Masters was a skeleton? We need more skeletons in KH. Fuck the chinese for being scared of skeletons.
>>570987057We know from Nomura that the early conception for Roxas leaving was "because of a girl" they probably intended it to be Namine at some point, but then they wrote Days and thought yeah NVM about that.
>>571008780>Day VIII
Im too tired to make a schizo post about this but just I wonder how much of Fabula Nova Crysalis lore will be reused or interpreted in a different way for Kingdom Hearts 4/Verum Rex/Quadratum? Or is Nomura just reusing other stuff and doesnt care about that Etro shit?He did write the lyrics to Somnus so I think those will be important, but they're very vague.To be honest I dont even fully understand this lore. I never played ff13. And the way I do understand it is that that they made a fictional shared mythology for people to base games on. But it would be like how there are different adaptation of real life myths. The unseen realm sounds like Quadratum that's all I know.

>>570987057Because, like many things in KH2, it had no build up whatsoever. Roxas meets Namine the first time, she tells him she wanted to meet him, and that's it. The second time she tells him some bullshit about his real name that he brushes off and focuses on Riku being the guy who mugged him. Then she tells he was never supposed to exist. THEN she tells him he'll disappear and he never hears what she says after. Then at the END of the game he suddenly says they;ll be together when Sora and Kairi are, as if they had any development to become actually closer. KH2's story is so fucking weird, because it clearly has set ups and conlcusions to those payoffs but they DON'T SHOW SHIT TO BUILD IT UP. It's like how Kairi gets kidnapped offscreen by the Organization kicking Axel's ass offscreen, DiZ fucking vanishes after Sora wakes up and says all his plans were ruined by Sora even though Sora didn't do shit or even know DiZ existed but he has an offscreen change of heart stated in a secret report, or how Namine fucking disappears till the end of the game for no reason made worse in KH2FM because they added and extra cutscene about her having somewhere she wants to be I.e. Kairi, but she never fucking appears till the end of the game.
>>571010665>We know from Nomura that the early conception for Roxas leaving was "because of a girl" they probably intended it to be Namine at some pointIm pretty sure he said that after 2 but before days. Also namine said she wanted to meet him at least once, implying that they didnt meet while he was in the org
I just realizedThe culmination of the Dark Seeker Saga was 7 lights vs 13 darknesses.7 Versus 13.VII VERSUS XIIIAnd what's one number after VII, pray tell?And to top it all off, the post credits scene in KH3. Kid Xehanort and Kid Eraqus get bored of the "seven light piecess vs thirteen dark pieces physical chess game" they are playing in the past. Then Eraqus decides to try a new game. Xehanort is confused. "Seven black pieces... and...?" Eraqus pulls out a lone light piece, puts it on the board, and the SCENE CUTS TO BLACK.
MOTHERFUCKERNOMURA YOU SLY FOXIT'S THE SAME FUCKING SHOThttps://files.catbox.moe/39sy7c.mp4
>>571014114>namine said she wanted to meet him at least onceShould have just said that she pretended this was their first meeting, because he didn't remember her anymore.Honestly I still think days would be better off without Xion and it was Roxas who met Riku/Naminé and went to Castle oblivion to look into Sora
Will Nomura make Riku look like Riku again now that he has Yozora?

I'm not playing Days but I want the full story. The shit I get in the Steam bundle is just the boring text box cutscenes strung together. Anyone know of a good YouTube video so I can hear some retard go over it in isolation and detail instead? I comprehend much better via audio than reading text.
>>571021760the one in the remix collection is a movie, aka cutscenes where people talk. It's not a visual novel if that's what you're expectingsame with re:coded, and even though both got new cutscenes added re:coded got even more
>>571022629Well I'll be dang you're right. I could have sworn on my 1.5 2.5 bundle on ps4 it played just the original textbox cutscenes but I guess I remembered wrong.
If Yozora is Sora, Aegis is Goofy, Magia is Donald, and the unnamed girl is Kairi.Who is the Riku of Verum Rex?
>>571029282
>>571029282also Yozora, cause Yozora is what Riku would've been if he didn't fall for darkness' ponzi scheme. Which imo is also why they changed his design from the "Invictus" one, in addition to avoid making another Sora-lookalike

What does Riku say during gameplay when you finish a combo as him in DDD and KH3? "Sorry!" What is Squall's catchphrase? "Whatever."? It's a mistranslation. Of a verbal tic. Of constantly saying SORRY.

>>571021760Days is not a game that you just watch and care much for. It's intentionally designed a a low-stakes slice of life type of game.

Also the cutcsene movie left out lots of important shit.

>>571034649>>571034231I paused the video went to sleep finished it and he mentions seven vessels... fucking nomura cant get away with this
>>571116209You know after posting this I remembered how much money the Lion King "live action" remakes made so maybe Im in the vast minority.... I hope that Meet the Robinsons one is true though. (Fuck the mcu though)
>>571085235Its OK Nomura is just shitposting too. I ReMind Squall makes a joke about the same shit we are. If you talk to him a 2nd time he says>Clues in a dream?

>>570923260Am I retarded? I thought Balder's flashback confirmed that he killed all the upper class men and Maleficent killed no one.
>>571117706And therefor... I don't think the fact we have two characters named Sigurd wearing purple and white is a coincidence. I will reserve my schizo Sigurd theories until I learn more about KH4.
>>571118004Its been a while for me but I could have sworn Maleficent beat them in dragon form before that.
Don't forget to report and ignore shitposters like this one>>571117706>>571118032
All I'm hoping is for Sora to get some grit in 4. He's a bit too wishy washy in 3, but that's a given the absolute emotional bomb he received from Roxas' memories in 3D. He was definitely lost in the sauce, and that was most evident in San Fransokyo where's yapping even dumber shit and had Roxas' memories phasing in at that bridgeHe should definitely sort himself out
>>571013592Yeah, the 'closure' with DiZ and Namine is atrocious. DiZ basically pulls a gun out of nowhere that can somehow turn the artificial Kingdom Hearts into data, it explodes, and that somehow heals Riku. KH2's one of the msot fun games ever but the story/characterization will make you go cross eyed if you think about it too long. Then Ansem wanders around the Realm of Darkness, admittedly has a cool moment with Aqua, but then she fails to protect him, and their meeting ends up feeling completely unimportant.Data Ansem in DDD felt weird too, even if he did have a cool moment with Riku. Thanks for the information, I guess? I thought that information was going to be a major part of KH3, but I don’t even remember it being relevant or mentioned again. Been a while since I played DDD but I guess ultimately it was just to give the characters info that we players already knew? I dunno. Ansem being the Ahab to Xehanort(s) While Whale should have easily been an interesting story. But it’s all just bizarre, dull, and ultimately pointless. The most interesting part of Ansem is someone else taking his identity.
>>571118116Ive been here long enough to know what you are.
>>571118116Quick better speed up your image spam bot people are having fun.
>>571118341>I thought that information was going to be a major part of KH3, but I don’t even remember it being relevant or mentioned again. Been a while since I played DDD but I guess ultimately it was just to give the characters info that we players already knew? I dunno.His information is just confirming that Roxas, Xion, and Ven are inside Sora's heart IIRC. I know there's some additional plot point in 3 that gets covered by his data as well but I can't recall it off-hand.
>>571118341>Data Ansem in DDD felt weird too, even if he did have a cool moment with Riku. Thanks for the information, I guess?I agree with everything you posted but this was one of my favourite cutscenes in the game for me. Its foreshadowing for 3 and beyond. That information was on how to make replicas for all the extra people who didnt have bodies if Im remembering right. The shit he says about Roxas was like a conclusion to his nobody hatred arc.I would even say its foreshadowing for 4. Sora has the ability to make anything real. Yen Sid mentions it to Sora when he gives him summons that happens to be Dream Eaters who have the hearts from Dandelions. And well he is the land of unreality... But this is just my theory for now.
My favorite keyblade and it'll never show up again because its some bootleg fake ass trash. Rip to me. Soul Eater and Way to Dawn just aren't as sleek and cool as the Keyblade of Heart.
>>571118814I wonder what it would have looked like if it was completed?
>>571118814Its teeth showed up again in ReMind during Xehanort's Xblade transformations to reference keyblades of people's hearts.
>>571118881It probabaly would have made a full heart and not an incomplete one. I think Nomura said incomplete made it look that way anyways. But youd think itd be more crazy. Maybe new keyblades in new games make it seem plain in retrospect though
>>571119094Yeah you're probably right, originally I thought it would resemble the χ-blade in some form, but one of Xehanort's reports in BBS makes it clear that it's a distinct type of keyblade.
>>571119239I think it's supposed to resemble pure blood heartless cause they had those heart holes.
>>571118814
>>571118004>>571118098She didn't kill any of them. She did greatly weaken all of them though. Holder tried to take on Maleficent alone, but Baldr's Darkness is what finished her off. Same for the other 3. They're shown about fight Maleficent and what we see later, it's implied they beat her back. They're all shown tried but alive and Maleficent is nowhere to be seen. That's when Baldr's Darkness hit them from behind.
>>571118814Yeah it's a sweet keyblade the whole being fake always annoyed me too
Sora still has the xblade. I wanna use it in four
So at the end what was the deal with this keyblade? Is it from Moana, Elementals.or an OC keyblade like the Shooting Star keyblade from 3?
>>571147526I don't think we know for sure yet. I've never seen either of those movies so I can't really judge it. I've heard someone say it was Moana because of the key chain, and that would check out from a game design perspective as well since Elemental is a romantic comedy.
>>571147526im leaning OC because it doesn’t seem to have any visual motifs from moana or elementals as far as i can tell, other than fire and water.plus moana key blade will probably resemble mauis hook
>>571147526i think the design is a bit too wild to be from those movies, especially given the handle looks like some kind of magic wand with that globe and shit (which i don't think has anything to do with any of those movies) and the fire and water look like some representation of the wand's magicidk i think it would make sense for it to be an oc keyblade, one with which you instantly understand the scrap and build stuff and how it affects gameplay (aka, you now get fire and water attacks, the simplest thing you could go for, unlike the chain motif you apparently get with the KK)
>>571117130Based
>>571155016>Quadratum is an afterlife for those in the KH universe>Zack is implied to be dead just like in FF7
...Game Central Station?
So why the fuck roxas have a whole ass chain in his room
>>571159949
>>571160707because chains are cool
>>571147526people who know more about the movies than me were saying it's probably from elemental since the fire and water parts obviously match up while the glass parts (the orb thing and the keychain) also are related the movie plot since the fire elemental MC becomes a glass makeri wouldn't be surprised if it's not related though
>>571147526>>571147992>>571148102It's not fire and water themed. It's LAVA and water themed. It has a move called Lava Slash and a big attack called Volcannon. And the flowers that appear from the attacks look like Hibiscus to me. That seems to point to Moana.
>>571164140>VolcannonClose enough, Pokémon world confirmed.
>>571093348Launch collector's edition (or just the contents if Square does that like other recent games) and if it's one SKU with English and Japanese like the new KH3 release should be I'll grab the Japanese digital version from the eShop to play it a few hours early (unless it launches at one time worldwide) and probably get it cheaper.
>>571164140>And the flowers that appear from the attacks look like Hibiscus to metrailer has been out for two weeks and somehow everyone refuses to acknowledge there's two kind of flowers coming off the attacks
I realized that the people who say positioning don't matter in KH3 almost exclusively mean "you don't have approach the enemy in a certain direction to hit them anymore" and think that that's a bad thing. Positioning in KH3 is really important, but it's not about where you attack a single enemy except for giant ones. It's about where you approach mobs, because running straight into a crowd without a care for other enemies is gonna kill you on critical. Obviously it doesn't matter on any other difficulty. I hope enemies are more intelligent in KH4, working together to chain attacks more and more aggressive.

>>571181634A stone from the moon /s
I really hope the voice director for KH3 was executed in public. In japanese after Sora defeats Aqua you can hear her wheezing in pain and exhaustion and after she's bakc in the realm of light she's half crying half laughing. In english she's doing some weird asmr breathing and slow laugh.
Knowing everything we do now Riku crystallizing his own darkness and wielding it, while also being immune to it, is a very curious phenomenon.

>>571191872>we're trying something newsex with kairi confirmed
>>571198295More like Kairi getting NTR'd
>>571198295If you are reading this, you've been in a coma for 20 years. We are trying something new. We don't know where this message will end up
Chirithies?More like ChiriSHIT
>>571170654I agree with youKH3 on Crit is transformative, and you genuinely have to keep a lookout for where you are in relation to where attacks are coming from. Especially early on, it's really hard.The issue is like you say it's only Crit that does this, and even on Crit if you use the attractions, it undermines a lot of the gameplay because you have a press triangle to win button.
>>571199747this is why critical converter was invented
>>571199747>because you have a press triangle to win button.i played critical with it and it really didn't make any difference, unless you idk time it well enough to avoid dying when you're on low health (but it's not like attractions heal you either, so you come out of it and you die on the very next hit anyway)

>>571190851>>571193723Why does she have a pregnant belly in these?
>>571203528that's because of me
I'm surprised we've never gotten a Emperor's New Groove world. Relatively successful and well liked, seems perfect from a non-numbered title
>>571203581Vanitas...
>>571164446So we're finally getting Southern Kalos but in a KH game?
i was about to say "would be funny if the live action movies in KH4 are just the summons, so it gets the KH1 summons but they're all their live action counterparts" until i looked it up and apparently the mulan live action didn't even have Mushu in it
>>571203581>meMe, he says
>>571179165Super bosses
Rocket League/KH collab is more or less confirmed for August
>>571185519Its straight up from Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken
>>571164140KH3 had elemental Dark Side, missing link would have had/had in the beta elemental heartless. I think its just that we can stick elements on keyblades now.
>>571218180Also heartless will have have prooer elements and weaknesses too like ml
>>571181634Hope
You guys think Tifa diddled Sora?
Was watching a clip of KH and holy fuck Susanne Blakeslee is great as Maleficent when she goes all dramatic. That evil ass cackle in disney castle was amazing.
>>571223306I cant wait to see her get more focus in KH4. One of the best voice actors in KH and I we desperately need good voice acting.
>>571191872>KH is Nomura's life's work>He still has more to do>It's a land of dreams and magicNgl I was starting to get a bit pessimistic but I guess Nomura is still passionate about the series
>>571226412>KH is Nomura's life's workIt didn't have to be this way, but he got robbed.
>>571191872>xcancelyou are a subhuman
I'm so fucking sick of dying. Big LThank you for never ever ever failing to completely destroy/kill my fun, Luxord. Beat the fuck out of whoever wanted you as a boss option in data org, lmao get your ass beat

What disney characters would make good superbosses? The only one I can think of is the big lobster from Atlantis, or maybe the crystal monster the bad guy turns into.
>>571250265Young VaderThe Horned King
>>571250265*one winged angel starts playing*
>>571250265Maxillion from Black Hole specifically in whatever the fuck is going on in this scene.
>>571250265If we're counting Disney acquired we need the Xenomorph and Predator one day
>>571251006>The Horned KingAt least he will always be in FF7
>>571250265
>>571251006Honestly Young Vader is the only thing that really fits the bill for me. You'd be hard pressed to name a more extravagent swordfight than Obi Wan vs Anakin on Mustafar, while Battle of the Heroes or Duel of the Fates plays. Though Darth Maul might work too.
>>571253059Im not a prequel guy but my chuuni weeb side would love to see Grevious to see what Nomura would do. I might be saying this because I miss Kurt Ziza too.
This is a line from a game for children 3-6 btw
>>571253005But Xanatos always wins!
>>571257757I would literally kill to see Xanatos with Riker reprising his role vs MoMJust give us a fucking Enix York and put his castle on top of the Twig Towers or some shit do it Nomura do it now
>>571188110Yet I still see people defend it
>>571267930cause she's a semen demon
Im the same guy who got tricked into a riku is gay video and I think Im done with KH youtube for awhile.
>>571273164the only kh youtube i do is the secret reports (which hasn't posted a proper video in years, used to also listen to their podcast but eventually stopped cause they just go over shit we kh nerds already know) and the salamander man when there's news cause he's the only one that doesn't look like he should be shoved in a lockerneedless to say i do very little kh youtube
>>571273164All KH Youtube is dogshit
>>571274159I remember Regular Pat doing collabs with other KH tubers and they'd always have a terrible presentation voice and male videos about Xion being trans.
KH4 is unironically coming out next year for the 25th anniversary
>>571273164Yeah I only like The Secret Reports and Shedding Starlight. I did try to like Regular Pat but the dude has shit taste and is a mewling faggot.
Sora literally kills the fucking grim reaper just to save his friends. The heartless wasn't even meant to harm anyone, it was just doing its job.No wonder nature kicked him out of the reality, the kid's just too dangerous.
No more triangle icon, it’s a diamond now
>>571295671People don't realize how kino kH3 is. They don't appreciate anything.
>>571296012day1 mod to make it a triangle again
>>571296012It's a reference to all the men we lost along the way to KH4. We'll carry them into battle with us as diamonds.
we're getting news at D23but it's gonna be the fortnite/rocket league collaband maybe a new trailer for KH4 cause why not
>>571274372Except for
>>571300018A shinning light, to our brothers-in-arms... Even in death...
>>571304294I deserve a Kairi gf.
I'm gonna fucking kill myself dude it's 16 years later and MF is still pissing me the hell offHow the FUCK has this retard fight not been fixedBbS has been rereleased FOUR times (soon five) since adding MF and the have only changed ONE move so it isn't a guaranteed killThere's no way they think this fight is just fine the way it isHoly SHITI'm getting too fucking old to be mashing square for 10 minutes waiting for a goddamn opening
Seriously, who tf was this guy?
>>571306293They did fixed it you ungraceful fuckOn Critical mode, his whip attack (the one that grabs you into the air and then hits you down to the ground) was a 1HKO in the vanilla version. In the Final Mix versions now you can dodge away when he grabs you.And that's pretty much it. Enjoy your fixed and balanced fight
>>571307492Riku's Nightmare counterpart
>>571307492The manifestation of Sora's darkness embodied as a Nightmare. All his anger, frustration, and hatred taking the form of what that means to him: Organization XIII.
I'm about to play KH1 for the first time, only played KH2 when I was a kid. Should I pick the sword, shield or magic?
>>571309168What platform?
>>571309876I just bought the HD remix collection on pc
>>571309168i think sword is the best for the first timethe other choice is about how fast you level up, in short>picking mostly (or all) first choices means you level up faster until lv 50, and slower after that>picking mostly (or all) middle choices means you level up somewhat the same throughout the game>picking mostly (or all) last choices means you'll level up slower unti lv50, faster after that
>>571252692Would be fun. I imagine that each world has their own variants with how the Xenomorphs got DNA of inhabitants and the Predators learned how best to hunt on the biome Agrabah and Arendelle would have vastly different fights with the same species
>>571309168Sword if you want combat to be any fun
>Nomura is now older than Miura was when he diedStrange world we live in
>>571316659He's gonna die before KH5 releases.I don't know anyone else who's making games at that age except Kojima
>>571319642Miyamoto is 73Nomura isn't even retirement age yet
>>571319803Miyamoto hasn't made a game since Mario 64 which came out 30 years ago
>>571319912https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigeru_Miyamoto#WorksSM64 was the last game he directed, but that doesn't mean he isn't making games stillThat's like saying Shinji Hashimoto had nothing to do with Kingdom Hearts because he was only a producer
>>571320363I know that Miyamoto continued working in Nintendo after Mario 64 but that was the last game he made.>That's like saying Shinji Hashimoto had nothing to do with Kingdom Hearts because he was only a producerHe didn't make Kingdom Hearts, Nomura did.
>>571320852The director is not the only person who works on a game, even if they are an auteur and wear many hats during production.
>>571321141>The director is not the only person who works on a gameTrue, there are also people who work under his directions, which means the director is the person who makes all the decisions, therefore he is the only person who matters.When Hitler attacked Poland, Hitler didn't actually attack anyone, his subordinates did, but still everyone says "Hitler attacked Poland".
>>571250265The Firebird from Fantasia 2000
>>571321463>which means the director is the person who makes all the decisionsThis is simply not trueProducer is a vague title that can mean many things, but it's often on the same level as the director if not directly above the director.Also if we're talking about KH specifically, you know damn well that Nomura doesn't have authority to make every decision.He is also on record crediting his team for several design decisions and even story elements across the series.
>>571321463>Randomly invoking godwin's law
>Nomura mentions in the Famitsu 40th Anniversary magazine interview that what he wants to challenge himself with in the future is different than what people expect from him. In the meantime, he wants to first accomplish what those are hoping to see from him.>He says he has a dream that one day he will be able to put down the baggage he carries and join other creators who moved on to do other things, and that new challenge will surely be something exciting.Sounds like KH is wrapping up soon
>>571321959>but it's often on the same level as the directorNope, not how it works
>>571322247He's clearly talking about versus xiii
>>571322247Who is the other creator he's talking about? Tabata?
Is this the best data battle remix?For all the other songs I think the new versions are as good as the original at best, but I think this one is the only one that is straight up superior to the original.It might also be my favorite data battle for making this part of the fight.https://youtu.be/RF3IBiAxN0QDaU9q0hgCJOEytiX
>>571321712KH1 Kairi is so fucking hot good lord...
>>571322508A bit too late for that now
>>571322584yeah i bet Nomura's dream is to disappear into oblivion making disabled olympics games
>>571322714I don't know for me the original BBS theme is the best. Xion's the best for me
>>571274159>>571290776you summoned herhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFd4-c1UPic
New Secret Reportshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFd4-c1UPic
>>571322247I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to leave square to do his own thing after wrapping up kingdom hearts
>>571323158>>571323404Sell me on why she is a decent khtuber if those even exists.
Which game has the best super bosses in your opinion?
>>571323697Does her researchIs not retarded
>>571323697she has nice graphics skills (she had a whole site fashioned like KH2's hollow bastion computer, the one with space paranoids in it, with shit and theories and whatnot but i can't find it anymore) and is ultimately just calmly reading a script instead of acting like a monkey
>>571323523What are you talking about? He said 2 years ago that he is going to retire soon because he is too old. He is not starting anything, we are lucky if he manages to finish KH before he dies
>too old>56
>>571322791Why do you think he said was talking about baggage
>>571324161He just said he wants to do new things before finishing up old things
godamn did terra's va record his remind lines in a tin can? why tf does it sound like that?
>>571322508I think he's misunderstanding something. People want Versus XIII from him because they want an FF game with KH2 style combat but without the Disney shit. But what he's been doing is basically turning KH into FF and trying to scam people to believe it's Versus XIII, and that's not gonna work. I say people but those people are all in their late 30s now and have long outgrown KH.
>>571322593Now that she's free from Org 13 responsibilities, what is Elrena doing with her free time?
I hope in the future franchises other than Kingdom Hearts and like uuuh fuckin Fortnite utilize the sort of collab-based storytelling techinque that somehow brings together many different stories/worlds together in the same place. Except multiverse shit, fuck that.
>>571322247>Sounds like KH is wrapping up soon"soon" as in KH6 probably
>>571324997Meant for>>571324560
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndQOayq4j8M
>>571324997I don't think he misunderstands at all. He already said what's he's doing isn't versus. And that's obvious because Versus and KH are fundamentally different, despite all the references we've seen. Versus will never be made. But he wants to reuse ideas he had and even work through the feelings he had regarding versus with KH. >But what he's been doing is basically turning KH into FF KH is an FF spinoff, introducing more elements from it won't make a difference. Not to mention we already see that despite the talk of KH4 being a soft reboot it's already based on the games leading up to it.>I say people but those people are all in their late 30s now and have long outgrown KH.lmao sure bro. Age has nothing to do with liking KH.
>>571324823Voice direction in general was ass in kh3.I have no clue what happened there.Battle lines are atleast still decent.
>>571322247I mean, he already said we're moving towards a conclusion. The Versus XIII bitching is pretty grating.
>>571326023>because Versus and KH are fundamentally differentThat's exactly why merging them is a bad idea. FF doesn't really see KH as part of the franchise or even a spinoff, at least that's how the fandom treats it. As long as Disney still owns the franchise, KH will never be Versus XIII. If Nomura actually wants to make a game that pleases both sides he needs to make it a proper FF, not KH. And that's why I say it's too late now. After the XV disaster, there's no way SE is ever letting him remake it.If you don't believe what I said, then try going to /ffg/ and talk about KH there, and see if they're happy to talk about it.
>>571322714Vanitas and Xion's data battle themes are pretty great.
How come they didn't just let nomura do an original game? he seems trusted at Square Enix
>>571325110project x zone 3 is just on the horizon, trust me...
>>571329343They did let him untill they didn't.
>>571327492Ffg is cancer they don't talk about FF there it's just one schizo arguing with himself
>>571330102It doesn't matter where you go, reddit, resetera, twitter, someone's always gonna get pissed if you bring up KH topic in an FF community. That's just how it is.
>>571327492Nomura isn't trying to please versus fans, he's working out his years of frustrations and unused ideas by channeling them into a creative medium. KH isn't turning into FF or Versus. it's exploring a new story BASED on UNUSED ideas for versus and metawritng about how versus development got fucked. Like how Stranger of Paradise was the story of an angry man rebelling against his people's neglectful and abusive practices(the square execs). Like how Tetsuya Takahashi keeps revisiting Xenogears ideas
Lots of traditional JRPG fans kinda hate on KH for whatever reason. They don't accept KH.
>>571331330Every piece of evidence so far contradicts everything you said. He's clearly using Versus XIII nostalgia to sell whatever he's working on. There's a difference between revisiting an idea and recycling an idea. Takahashi never put that many Xenogear references in his recent games that scream 'Here's Xenogear in my original vision so go buy it.'
>>571331330>Like how Stranger of Paradise was the story of an angry man rebelling against his people's neglectful and abusive practices(the square execs).Or how shinjuku gets nuked in neo twewy, because the people(square execs) there are irredeemable and need to be wiped off the face of the planet
>>571331409>traditional JRPGthey hate anything that is not turn based, ignore them
>>571332690I like Marluxia being a good brother, but I also don't like how him, Larxene and ventus were in the age of fairy tales.Not a fan of being this connected to the main plot.Ideally it would have been just the foretellers and MoM
>>571334435ven need a backstory before bbs, him being important in the past was likely
>>571335763Did he?I mean he had more backstory than Aqua and terra.
>>571337819his backstory was just he trained with xehanort failed then lose memories lol
Why didn't Versus XIII happen? I don't get why it was canceled and turned into FFXV
>>571339268It was taking too long (because Square took the team off of it constantly to save Crystal Tools and XIII and XIV)
>>571338304I mean is that anymore backstory then Terra and Aqua's>they were just training with Eraqus lol
