Trailer Keyblade (Flowing Edge/Lava Slash) candidates:

Hercules: theres a lava and ice titan, but this is water not ice. also, a keyblade would not be based on them if it was a Hercules keyblade and would instead be something more thematic of the film. Plus they wouldn't tease a keyblade for a returning world (especially one already with a keyblade design), which eliminates any previous world in KH.

Atlantis: Underwater city, theres a very short escape sequence where lava is coming up near the end. But a keyblade on this world would based on the Atlantean aesthetic or the steampunk-ish style of the explorers. Not this.

Elemental: Elements water and fire are center stage, but its more so fire than lava. Strong candidate but eliminated based on lava.

Moana: There are both water and lava entities that appear, from the sea and lava. The movie has no other iconography or style or themes to base a keyblade off of. Tattoos would not make for a keyblade.

Conclusion: Its 100% Moana and theres no more debate to be had.

Which in my opinion sucks because skimming through the movie again, there is zero interesting locations or aspects to put in a video game level and explore. Theres a featureless beach, the crabs nondescript cave, and then the remaining 90% of the film is on a raft at sea.
Ignoring a conversation of the quality of the film itself, its more character driven and less spectacle or interesting locale. The Rock will not do the game. From a game design standpoint this is a bad level choice and will be the Arendelle of KH4. But just like Arendelle, it will be in due to marketing/promotional reasons.

>The funniest thing that crossed my mind was that the KH anime is actually an adaptation of all the mobile games along with some original story. and so there forms anime only fans that prefer the KHUx era over the game era and that just becomes another point of contetion in the fanbase

Based on the key art, I expect it to be a retelling of DR from the perspective of the upperclassmen. When DR ended, Nomura said he wanted to depict the classmate characters in “other forms of media”. He also said he thought that he depicted the beginning of Xehanort’s entrance into the path of darkness really well. So, instead of retelling the exact same events, a “Back Cover” version would be preferable. That would certainly make the classmates’ deaths more impactful.

Ofc, after their deaths, the focus could shift back to Xehanort’s POV. His fall to darkness had some missing spots, by Nomura’s own admission. There were quite a few time-skips that could certainly be fleshed out better. We still don’t even know anything about Master Odin. And if we’re depicting his full descent into darkness, there’s still the time period post-BBS. We know that he was an apprentice to Ansem the Wise for a full year before Radiant Garden fell to darkness. The other apprentices could desperately use some development. And during this year, he began his dark experiments. Subject X was involved. You can introduce UX lore to newcomers via her memories. Lea and Isa can have their own arc. Maybe you can even depict Luxord and Demyx’s past and why Xemnas chose them. All this background lore can finally come together in an accessible way. And a tv series is probably a better format for these stories than games anyways.

>i dont see what about the handle deconfirms moana.
that's kinda the point, you don't see anything cause there's nothing to see. As in, it's a featureless handle that doesn't fit Moana aesthetics at all
also yes, the globe thing is on the keyblade, as i said that fan art is pretty close to the actual thing (from what can be seen in that trailer at least)
basically my point is that, as others also said, this is not a disney world but instead the second keyblade Sora gets, like Starseeker in KH2 or Shooting Star in KH3, in this case serving as the scrap and build "tutorial" keyblade

If build is indeed building and designing your own keyblades, that creates a new conversation.

I dont like the idea. Im tired of everything being so modular in every game. Keyblades and their design are what they are. They have identity and names.
Any set keyblades will be undermined and overshadowed by customs.

Die retarded youtubers

You are a moron retard fuck idiot of the highest calibur. The keyblade has absolutely nothing to do with any of the IP you posted, especially Moana.

-no Polynesian design elements whatsoever
-no Tefiti elements whatsoever
-no ocean or stingray
-no maui or Maui tattoos
-no chicken or Moana's seashell would likely be the keychain charm
Look at every other Disney keyblade ever made and compare it to this one. Explain the charm?

It's an original Keyblade you get to teach you the Build command like Shooting Star was used to teach you Formchangin in KH3.

Also they don't reveal Dianey keyblades outside of the Disney Worlds.
>>
>>578440359
You don't have any proof anything you said is true, cope.

The handle is a shiny metal, Moana doesn't have that shit. Handle would be made out of rope from coconut fibers or wood.

no not really, its just a concept hard to put to words.

mario maker is not interesting to me because its just countless (usually shit) levels by fans, theres no identity that this is level 1-1 or 8-4 or whatever.
The pro codes in 3 likewise ruined difficulty. No longer is it just I beat the game on critical, its oh but what codes did you apply.

Imagine the extreme, if all keyblades were now custom crafted and no more premade preset designs. They completely lose their lustre and identiy.
Set keyblades will exist as proven by Coco so its not that extreme, but its diluting it in that direction.

And i totally buy the idea that thats what build is, it follows the keyblade leveling and stuff in kh3, matching the philosophy of pro codes and other things, and marches modern dev philosophies of letting players decide everything and have freedom over developer ideas. Plus I cant conceive of what else Build could be if not building a keyblade

The keychain charm is a star. In Moana, her people are “Wayfinders” who navigate the sea by following the stars.

Let's look at KH3.
Ever After- Frying Pan
Grand Chef- Chef Gusteau cookbook
Favorite Deputy- Little Green Man
Hero's Origin- Herc's medallion
Nano Gear- Baymax's healh chip symbol
Wheel of Fate- Key to the Dead Man's Chest
Hunny Spout- Hunny Pot
Crystal Snow- Olaf
Happy Gear- Boo's disguise
Do you know what all of these have in common that the "Moana" keyblade doesn't? The token is all physical things that appear in the movie. Not an abstract concept.

I'm arguing the same thing genius, it's a keyblade for the build system.
And every Keyblade Hercules has ever had the charm is the Medallion he wore as a baby in the movie and later fitted into his belt as an adult. It's an item from the actual movie.

It has a lava and ocean theme, exactly like Moana. And the middle is exuding a green light. Unlike the Coco Keyblade, which we can clearly SEE, this one is seen only in blurry stills. Wait til we can actually see the damn thing.

of course, but you can't tell me you really believe this is the Moana keyblade after having seen how the Coco one looks like

Lava in Moana is like fire in Hercules. It's just related to the antagonist.
>>
>>578445381
youre arguing and calling people retards about the build system possibility (and lets repeat that word POSSIBILITY) that was conceded to long before you started angrily slapping your keyboardz yes that part is agreed upon.

in the case that its not a build thing, and it is a movie based keyblade, moana is the inly conceivable world it could be and your arguments against that were bad

You've already been BTFO 5x over. And you refuse to refute any of the points made. If somehow this Actually does end up being Moana, or any other IP people are throwing around, this is hands down the worst designed Disney keyblade they've ever made.

I wonder how hard this guy is gonna seethe when it turns out it is Moana
>>
>>578446224
> of course, but you can't tell me you really believe this is the Moana keyblade after having seen how the Coco one looks like

I do think it’s Moana unless it’s confirmed otherwise. It’s certainly not Atlantis, which has zero cultural relevance. And none of the other options fit that well.

>>578446252
> Lava in Moana is like fire in Hercules. It's just related to the antagonist.

The antagonist is the same being as the ocean goddess though, just lost her heart.
>>
Has anyone done a breakdown of Coco's keyblade and the inspirations? By looking at that it'd inform you on other Disney keyblades in KH4.
>>
>>578448234
and it would undoubtedly depict her grassy goddess form and the green spiral heart. why wasn't evil baymax on the bh6 keyblade? hee turned from bad to good too.

>>578448607
> and it would undoubtedly depict her grassy goddess form and the green spiral heart. why wasn't evil baymax on the bh6 keyblade? hee turned from bad to good too.

Her green grassy power is for giving life. Not all that useful when you’re dishing out destruction on Heartless, I suppose. Her green spiral heart probably is in the middle it’s just too far away and blurry to see. But there is a pale green glow, and it’s there in the menu as well.

While I don't think it's Moana, what I will say is that if the Disney keyblades really are coming early on or in the middle of the worlds then having that dual nature represented would work in the story of the world.

This entire series has an issue with relying on stunlocking the player in order to add """difficulty""", and anyone saying otherwise needs to do a lil cope and a lil seethe. The Xaldin fight in KH2, for example, in which he uses the spin attack which he spams in a row like he's a boss from the slop that is Elden Ring, which will stunlock Sora excessively. This is bad game design and no amount of you all coping shall be changing that.

Not that I'd expect this midwit community to understand what makes a good action game, holy kekerino.

It was both, Traverse Town is a special world, in that it can manifest for anyone who has lost their home, in different forms.

Ok guys I think Skuld is a red herring and Subject X is Ava.

-Skuld is about fifteen, but Ava probably is as well. Her Back Cover character description: “Despite being a Keyblade Master, she is often treated as a friend by other wielders due to her age.”

-It took her a week to utter a single word? That’s not just memory loss; she was basically catatonic when they found her. I wouldn’t really say this is consistent with what we saw of the others at the end of UX. Brain could talk immediately.

-“Four friends, and a key”. This does describe Skuld’s situation. But we don’t know the circumstances of how Avat left Daybreak Town. As for the word “friends”, it’s “nakama” in Japanese. So, even if you don’t consider the Foretellers friends, they’re still nakama.

-She did have fragments of memories. Enough to describe her home world to Xehanort. So, this doesn’t rule out Ava, who has a concept of light/darkness in the KHIV trailer.

-She wrote her report years after her imprisonment. In DR, it’s implied that Skuld and Ephemer were Xehanort’s ancestors. However, the Dandelions don’t look like they’ve aged in the KHIV trailer. Ava’s build is the same, too.

-Do we ever hear Skuld saying "May my heart be my guiding key"? We do hear Ava say it a lot. It’s her phrase as much as Xigbar’s is “As if!”

-She was unusually strong of heart. Enough that she was able to endure Xehanort’s experiments. The name given to her was “X”. Who is a better representative of KHχ than Ava? Skuld just isn’t iconic of the χ saga in the way Ava is. It would seem strange to give such an important narrative role to Skuld.

-Taken away by eyepatch man. Luxu never directly interacts with Skuld. But Ava and Luxu had a bit of conflict at the end of the Keyblade War. She knew the truth and it makes sense that Luxu would wanna keep her from the other Foretellers.

Most of them don’t need to do anything more. See, I think KH3 was supposed to be the grand finale for all of them. But bc it had so many issues, some of them were given sequel hooks, like Ventus or Lea&Isa. The ones that weren’t given such hooks need to step aside.

Exactly. And now with the anime series you could potentially depict backstory related stuff, and just keep the focus on their current situation in IV. They don’t need tons of screen time, but they absolutely still have a subplot to progress.

I think of it like the gap between Lingering Will and Terra's slow retarded ass. Logically, LW doesn't do anything that Terra can't, but we the players never do anything that cool. Same thing when you fight Roxas in the Final Mix version, he pulls all sorts of moves that he couldn't in 179 Days. Roxas the character could do all of those things, but Roxas the player character works within the confines of a manageable combat system. It's kind of like towns in Bethesda games, you have to pretend that you are seeing a representation, rather than the full picture.

I would take a shit in a box and mail it to Square Enix, nobody on that team knows how to make a good boss battle.

I know Kingdom Hearts came first and Union X probably wasn't in Nomuras head at the time, but wasn't it a plot point that there were a limited amound of escape pods. Did Xehanort run around to gather them all back. Did he rebuild them? And for what? He can already go to other worlds and timetravel on his own. What else does the maschine?
>>
>>578511687
>Union X probably wasn't in Nomuras head at the time,
Nothing but KH1 was in Nomura's head for KH1. Even Another Side Another Story was a concept trailer that had that scrapped Kairi and all of the sentences that showed up in 2 were forced into 2.
But from an in-universe perspective Xehanort was most likely interested in Quadratum given what he says to Kairi in MoM.
>>
>>578475667
> It would be extremely funny if Roxas, Lea, isa, Xion, Namine, Terra, Ventus, Aqua, Hayner, Pence, and Olette didn't show up in KHIV.

When I first played BBS, I never once thought that we’d rescue three Keyblade wielders and they’d be completely irrelevant afterwards. The Sortas make sense because resurrecting them was purely for fans. But it would make no sense if TAV weren’t involved in the plot. You can’t lump them in with a bunch of TT kids.
>>
>>578516003
>But it would make no sense if TAV weren’t involved in the plot
If it wasn't for Vanitas they wouldn't have much place in the plot. Even then there's theories about him jumping to Sora in Remind. They won't be off screen forever but I can't see them playing any kind of major role in KH4. Same for RAX, Axel's stuff seems like more of a KH5 thing to flesh out.
>>
>>578517917
it wasn't for Vanitas they wouldn't have much place in the plot.

Sure, but nobody put a gun to Nomura’s head and forced him to make Vanitas relevant again. He did that on his own because he thought there was more juice to squeeze there with Ventus’s past. He chose to give him a new subplot, which he chose not to do with the Sortas. Probably because they don’t actually have pasts. There’s not much you can expand of them since they’re not “real” people. TAV don’t have that issue. They have bloodlines and origins that are still relevant.

>They won't be off screen forever but I can't see them playing any kind of major role in KH4.

Sure, I don’t think they’ll play a major role. Especially Terra and Aqua. But I’m sure Ventus’s subplot with Lauriam and Elrena will be touched on a little.

>Same for RAX, Axel's stuff seems like more of a KH5 thing to flesh out.

I just don’t see what relevance “RAX” have. RAX was given ample resolution in KH3. This is Axel’s subplot. Or rather, LEA’S. R/X do not know Lea. They don’t need to be shoehorned in just because people have nostalgia for 358 Days. It’s okay for characters to be treated as individuals; they don’t need to be treated as just trios. Lea is a character that exists outside of “RAX”.
>>
>>578475667
>>578476971
KH set up a thing where it had too many characters. KH3 was Endgame. KH4 is almost certain to underperform in comparison because it's based entirely on things nobody knows or cares about and the big "mysterious guys" coming over from Union X look like jabronis.
>>
>>578522865
> KH set up a thing where it had too many characters. KH3 was Endgame.

It WAS set up as endgame. It just had too many underdeveloped characters with stories that couldn’t finish. But some of them *were* able to finish. Primarily the “fake” people. All the Xehanorts, Repliku, the Sortas. We don’t need to drag everyone who was given closure in the dark seeker saga into the new story arc.
>>
>>578522568
RAX would still be around instead of just Axel for the same reason that it won't just be Ventus showing up in the Lost Masters arc. They're his friends and will support him.

> RAX would still be around instead of just Axel for the same reason that it won't just be Ventus showing up in the Lost Masters arc. They're his friends and will support him.

They don’t need to support Axel. This subplot involves his “dark secrets” he went out of his way not to open up to them about. Specifically because they’re naive little kids. R/X earned normal lives, they should go to school or whatever. It’s insane the lengths their fans will go to to make sure they are shoehorned in where they’re not needed. I want the characters to grow and evolve and not remain stagnant in trios that don’t serve the story any longer.
>>
>>578524778
Though, one thing I will mention. Cars is a dead IP, but they're pushing Cars. It was this thing that had a very brief period of relevance, and I am almost sure it no longer has any resonance.
>>
>>578525251
>They don’t need to support Axel.
In a series about friendship is a heavy focus they aren't going to have a character abandon their friends. If Axel tried going out alone, Roxas and Xion would track him down.
>>
>>578525632
>In a series about friendship is a heavy focus they aren't going to have a character abandon their friends. If Axel tried going out alone, Roxas and Xion would track him down.

This is why I dislike the sea-salt trio. The fans can’t imagine that the characters might have their OWN lives. Axel is pushing 30. He can do his own thing without involving little kids. Nobody is abandoning anyone. If anything the Sortas overshadow Lea and prevent him from standing out. The best thing you could possibly do for him is give him spotlight without the Sortas. Plus he has other friends besides them. Ven, Kairi, Isa, Subject X. His life didn’t begin with the Sortas.

This probably sounds confusing to casual KH fans, but I think Nomura's going to do non-numbered game writing for KH4. 1, 2, and 3 were kind of by the books because the main story centered around saving the world from evil, but 4's main story is all about Sora going home. There's room for really weird shit to happen.
>>
>>578538753
I would be VERY happy with that. The most interesting writing was always in the spin offs anyway BECAUSE of that SDG formula wasn't used. Nomura straight up said he wanted to change up the formula so I do hope that's the case.
>>
I'm scared the Staw Wars world will be another Arendelle situation where SDG watch events from afar and then fight a big Heartless at the end. No Luke party member, no Sheev fight.

if the world is of ep6 they have to, otherwise the whole movie is "ruined". Like it would work if they have SDG follow the endor party, they can inject them pretty well in there, but that means following the B plot of the movie, and no death star level. If they have them follow Luke on the death star though they can't do it without either changing the whole plot and fights (and idk about you but i don't want Luke fight with Vader being changed cause we have to cram Sora in there), or have SDG watch events unfold from afar. Adding a Palpatine boss fight at the end is doable though, like the plot follows the movie but at the end Palpatine goes "unlimited power of darkness!!!" and it's the world's final boss you fight with both Luke and a (weakened) Anakin, which will then chuck him down the platform
Also, seeing how coco goes and given we already know both Hector and Miguel are party members, i think we just have to make peace with disney world's party members not staying for the whole world's plot but instead going in and out as the plot sticks to the movie

There is absolutely not theme or story used in Marvel or Star Wars that can't be pulled from other Disney movies or through original events/characters.
At least for me both these franchises are way too large to be included in KH, because they alone span countless games themselves
Endor has been done to death since the 90s, the fucking Ewoks got their own games. What more do you want? Why does KH have to add another one to the list instead of something different?

There's actually quite a few new scenes. The two most important ones in the movie are called "A Fairy Tale?" and the other is "Signs of What's Next".

I still agree with the other anon to actual play it, but if you ever have 3 hours to kill, you could also just give the movie a watch. I like it personally. Jesse killed it during those scenes during the last world.

>>578661794
Because it's a boring world that in order to make interesting you'd need to put in more effort, because it doesn't fit the theme of the game, because in-story Sora doesn't even have a way to transform, because I don't like furries.
All things I already said
>But it made a lot of money
So did Frozen, and you know what? It's one of the worst worlds in the entire franchise and is there PURELY because it sold well and Disney wanted to milk their cash cow a little more

Maybe for KH4 I want the world list to be a little more inspired than what's popular at the moment. If SE is going to put that much effort, I'd rather it'd be a world that serves the greater plot and point of the game, I didn't like Soul that much, but I would much rather that effort be put into that world because it fits and has something to say
>>
>>578662509
>Disney wanted to milk their cash cow a little more
I might be a little nieve but I don't really understand how doing that benefited disney in the first place. People that liked frozen were already watching the movie, people that bought kingdom hearts were buying it for kingdom hearts, not for frozen, people that didn't like frozen weren't going to care about it in a video game, people that didn't like kingdom hearts but liked frozen aren't going to buy a game just for an hour long 'experience' that's effectively just the movie with a few cuts to oc's. I just don't understand the thinking that causes these events.
>>
>>578662509
I don't want every Disney world to be about death. There's more to Sora's situation than simply "dying" especially when it was more that the world rejected him rather than an actual death.
>>
>>578662935
It's the theme of the story anon, I would be nice for the Disney worlds to carry some kind of relevance for it again.

Besides, it's a very flexible theme as well that also relate to living, had have lots of movies that could fit, Up. Soul, Wall-E, one of the PotC sequels, multiple Marvel storylines, One of their many versions of A Christmas Carol, and as much as I hate to say Avatar too.
>>

The answer is that Nomura and the dev team wanted Frozen after seeing the screeners for it. Disney worlds are decided far in advance. Frozen became a KH3 when it hadn't even released in theatres yet.

Who's Nomura?
>>
>>578664802
He's insolated because he did something that would remove him from reality (killing him) for the sake of his friends, he knew the consiquences but did it anyone, knowing there was no way back, like you know...death.
Up is a good example of a world that would know how use theme, with most of the characters not being literally deal, still dealing with loss and knowing you can't get back what you want most back, but learning to move on and live regardless
>>
>>578665140
He's very small but very powerful.
>>
Fuck you, winnie pooh
>>
>>578662509
i think you are being a bit stubborn on the idea that every world will be about death and that sora will always be apart from Donald and Goofy and never get disguises. just because it was shown in the one 2 min trailer of the games intro doesn’t mean it reflects the whole 200 hour game.
and i don’t see how it would be more effort to have some of the different biomes in the same way other worlds have different areas, like toybox's different shops or the Caribbean, they all require lots of custom assets either way.
>>
>>578665495
Lost a command board to him huh?
>>
If I have no friends, does that automatically align me with the darkness?
>>
>>578665618
Only if you let the despair of having no friends drive you to anger, fear or hate. Darkness isn't innately evil, it's no different to a form of pragmatism and might makes right.
>>
>>578665603
Because death is inarguably the theme of the game, and it would be nice if the worlds stuck to that and reflected on it so they'd have a greater point.
Likewise, while I obviously don't know for sure, I think Sora is going to be flying solo for most of the game without Donald or Goofy, given by their solo segements in the trailer.

Having other worlds that have nothing to do with the theme or plot of the game, would just make the game worse, like with KH3, and I would like it if KH4 put in a little more effort with what they're putting in.

So, I think Terra and Aqua had pretty satisfying arcs overcoming their inner darkness. Ventus is the only one left who hasn’t really done that. He’s still a goody-goody gumdrop. Since Vanitas is back inside him, I hope we see something come from that. If we got to see Ven being more interesting and edgy, maybe it’d lessen the demand for Roxas.
>>
>>578675563
He beat his inner darkness, literally.

Is it ever clarified anywhere if say a real-world machine gun would do anything to stop heartless?
>>
>>578676679
The weapons used by aliens in Lilo and stitch world are canonically incapable of harming the unversed and any weapon but a keyblade can only disperse heartless, not completely eradicate it, especially if it's an emblem heartless.
>>
I kinda want Sora and Hiro to kiss
>>
>>578676863
That's some cosmic horror b.s. then if it were real. Like genuinely terrifying. Kingdom Hearts has all the groundwork for a horror action thriller component.
>>
>Incredibles
The only existing locations are Syndrome's island base, a city, or a yacht. Never say never, but I think Quadratum is handicapping its potential hard.
>Brave
Has a simple castle+forest setting, and a princess. Easy choice, but boring?
>A Bug's Life
Has a shrinking down+bug aesthetic setting. Could basically be Toy Box, but with insects.
>Inside Out
Biggest hurdle is framing the world (takes place in a specific character's head). If Nomura wasn't Nomura, or Pixar wasn't Pixar, I wouldn't even question it being in.
>Cars
This one got as far as being on a tentative list. Now or never?
>Finding Nemo
I think this one would have too much effort involved to just repeat Atlantica.
>Wall-E, Up, The Good Dinosaur, Onward, Soul, Luca, Turning Red
Realistically there's nothing stopping these but interest. They just wouldn't be what I pick.
>Elemental, Elio, Hoppers
These seem just too late.
>>
>>578677134
For sure. Honestly the Heartless, specifically the Darksides, remind me of Menos Grande hollow's from Bleach (but that's likely just because I've been rewatching it with a friend). The fact that they can tear holes in real space and invade any location they want is underrated horror. Especially since they literally consume you and turn you into one of their rank and file.
>>
>>578677231
>Syndrome's island base
Oh no, a supervillain's secret base on a tropical island, that sounds so boring.
>>
Syndrome dying in a jet engine better not be included in Kingdom Hearts. That's too dark for this series.
>>
>>578677231
For the Incredibles it'd be set on the Island anyway. The city is just the place for the final battle. If Incredibles 2 didn't exist you could do something with the Underminer.
>>
>>578676863
>>578677414
We literally see Stitch blast some heartless with his guns and it having some effect
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKWaRXizrc

I think on some level it has to do with the morality of the character if they're effective agaisnt the heartless or not, as well as having skill in magic
>>
>>578677994
Imagine Sora throwing the manlet into a jet engine because he's had enough of people letting the darkness take them over and just wants to kill bad people now, otherwise he'll have another kairi killer tier on the loose.
>>
>>578676561
Not really. I don’t think KH3 was meant to wrap up Ven’s struggles with darkness. Especially since we had Re:Mind tease that Darkness is still inside Ven and we haven’t even dealt with the Strelitzia stuff.
>>
>>578678204
Summons and party members don't count for canonical purposes, otherwise a frying pan could kill heartless but not Gantu's blasters. Keep in mind Gantu actually was trying as head of security which means he wasn't influenced by darkness when he was trying to kill unversed.
>>
>>578678367
That wasn't a summon cutscene though, it was the canoncial attack on Hollow Bastion in KH2
There's also the fact your party members are still able to do damage canonically, otherwise they'd be pretty useless as tag alongs
>>
>>578679986
In that case I can believe your previous statement that it's purely based on your sense of morality. If you're a good person who strives to protect yourself and others instead of the inverse which is killing for the sake of it, you can kill heartless (not releasing hearts from emblems however) with any kind of weapon..? But then why didn't Sora's wooden sword work in KH1
>>
>>578680702
Something something magic I guess. That's the other thing we know can, at the very least, damage the heartless. Someone who's strong enough magically that can knock them around. This is basically what keeps Donald in the game, being a decent mage
>>
>>578675563
Bro Vanitas is gone GONE. He was a Darkness. The only way to get rid of a Darkness permanently is to defeat it while it's in a physical form, which they did exactly that in KH3.

>Van is Darkness manifested
>He's infinitely stronger than any pussy from the realm of light
>Lets Xehanort the old coot possess him to create the thirteen No Names that signify thirteen Darknesses

I don't believe he's gone. There's no way a manifestation of Darkness who has and will kill again is just going to let his existence be used by another like Xehanort.

Past Vanitas. Remember in Re:Mind Sora spoke with an entity inside Ventus' heart called Darkness. Dude is still around.

It's got grim vibes of encroaching danger that you can't fathom and can't even plan around. The kind of music you attribute to a character that runs everything in front of and behind the scenes.

>>578682102
Exactly. Nomura only does big reveals like this if it’ll be relevant in the future. He wouldn’t show Darkness inside Ven in Re:Mind just to explain he already died in KH3. That’s not how the man writes.

Why can characters like Remy and Scrooge world-hop but I can't take Aladdin with me?
>>
>>578683280
Because their worlds were destroyed, Agrabah was not.
>>
>>578683429
>Because their worlds were destroyed
No they weren't.
>>
>>578683767
Radiant Garden was consumed and turned into Hollow Bastion and wherever Remy is from was, likely, similarly destroyed. This is the correct interpretation based on how we know Twilight town and Traverse town function.
>>
>>578684130
Radiant Garden isn't Scrooge's world, it's Disney Town. He just had a shop set up there because he already started to expand his business to other worlds. As for Remy, the correct interpretation is that Scrooge went to his world and poached him for his business.
>>
>>578685246
I stand corrected. Honestly it probably comes down to the fact some worlds have more of a connection to ancient history like Mickey's domain than somewhere like Agrabah which is just a world without any connections outside. Even Triton tries to keep his world disconnected from the outside influence.

Predicting the antagonists for the Disney worlds.

>Underworld

Hades.

>Scala ad Caelum

Probably just an exposition world.

>Quadratum

MoM. But you won’t fight him til the saga finale.

>Star Wars/Endor

Aced. Him being passed over as Master for Ira has Anakin parallels.

>Coco/Land of the Dead

If a Foreteller appears (which one may not), I lean Gula. He’s described as 冷徹 which means cold and unsentimental. Best lesson to learn from this world.

>Radiant Garden

Ava. Yes, I still think RG is coming back. And I still am one of the few who thinks she’ll be Subject X. And she won’t be fully “good”.

>>578687187
If they do Endor theyll probably have a Death Star segment too. ONLY Endor would be a bit too boring. If they ambitious they could add Jabbas Palace/Sarlac Pit and/or Millenium Falcon/Gummi Ship attack on Death Star Core, but I wouldnt count on the latter.

And the boss would 100% be Vader like come on

Coco is probably going to be the first Disney world so I'd be surprised if they weren't in most if not all Disney worlds. I feel like there's two main possibilities.

Or Sora and Donald and Goofy both keep on missing each other in worlds with them having more separate playable segments in worlds.

Merlin has been time travelling since before KH1. He can just time travel with magic in his movie/world.

>>
>>578714808
it's different kinds of time travel, and besides what the other anon said people like to forget that in KH2 fucking Pete kickstarted that whole thing, willing the door to timeless river into existence with no magic. Which by the way makes me think it's not even Merlin's own method of time travel.
In any case timeless river acts more like a parallel world, that you can freely enter and exit at any time and your actions there apparently immediately have an effect on the "present", like simply removing the cornerstone did to disney castle and just putting it back also fixed that
the other time travel is instead more of a mean to move people around, given it's pretty much how everyone used it so far, to the point Xehanort just used it to move himself around multiple times over
>>
>>578678204
The first anon specifically said the Galactic Federations weapons had no effect on the UNVERSE. Which while are cousins to Heartless, are not Heartless. Second: yeah, tons of different weapons can take out the Heartless, including Stitch's guns, but that doesn't matter when unless a Heartless is destroyed with a Keyblade, it will just reform somewhere else.

Sora can deal damage with the toy sword during Hollow Bastion, although you only do like, 1 HP of damage per hit. The implication being Sora was just that weak while still on Destiny Islands that he couldn't even do that.

>>578683280
Him and the other Princes were actually suppose to show up in Hollow Bastion during KH1, but for whatever reason, it didn't work out, and he been bound to that forsaken desert ever since.

https://www.kh13.com/interviews/kingdom-hearts-ultimania-x-tetsuya-nomura/
>To begin with, I wanted to put in a scene where all the Princesses were captured and being held at Hollow Bastion, and the various movies' Princes come to save them. That idea in itself ended up being no good, but we managed to keep the part with the Princesses in the final game.
>>
>>578688121
While I agree with the other two anons on the combat, there are some differences in Re:CoM that are more in line with the rest of the series. Example: There is a character who has a catch phrase that was translated as "Commit it to memory" in GBA. Every game after that, including Re:CoM translates it as "Got/Get it Memorized". And there are some differences in deaths. Maybe play GBA and watch the Re:CoM cutscenes as you go and play spot the difference?

Also this Anon >>578719585 is correct. "Destiny" is the one that was added to the movie. Only watch "Signs of What's Next" if you don't fell like grinding out the 20 Trophies to unlock it.

Is this kind of game where the first installment attracts fans like flies and they eat the churning slop disney releases after, or every game is good on their own

That only happens if you start playing KH as a kid

>>578749706
yeah i'd say Riku is the spike. Unironically some mob fights now might give you issues but the remaining boss fights shouldn't be hard

i wouldn’t say so, but it is the kinda franchise where there’s a splinter in the fandom of people who are overly attached to the game with "2" in the title and and no other part of the series and constantly complain that every game isn’t just "2" again

man that dark thorn chandelier rc is just something else

>>578750076
Id say they're all good on their own, but I've played them all since 02. They're all different enough I'd say it's not really slop churning, in the way something like Pokémon does it.
It's the kind of series that tourists want gamercred for liking, often the first one and haven't played the rest. That's the reason it gets some much creator slop when news comes around.
If you genuinely enjoy the combat of the first it's worth playing the rest, they all experiment with it and add on to it in different ways with a few mechanics sticking around for longer.
If you like the lore you'll probably draw your own line in the sand somewhere.
It's like FF, majority of fans haven't played half the entries in the series.

Luxu and MoM are purely aligned with MoM's goals, whether that be good or bad
The foretellers are oppositional to Sora and friends which could mean that Sora's goals are oppositional to MoM's end goal, whatever that means, at least on the surface.

Technically speaking, Xehanort wasn't 'bad'. It's not his fault nobody, much less the peons below him, cared about how important my true goals for reaching Kingdom Hearts was.
>>
>>578786180
The entire game has themes of death and a game that got taken from him I'm sure he's thought about it
>>
>>578793759
>>578794230
But youtubers, anons on /v/ and basically everyone else online refer to MoM as the next big villain confidently so that has me confused
>>
>>578795105
It's the easiest way to refer to him as the central character that Sora will inevitably confront.
>>
>>578795105
Because he's an engimatic figure shrouded in mystery that has ties to the antagonists. He's not an antagonist any more than God is an antagonist. We (Heroes of the realm of light) are so far beneath him and his abilities as to be mere ants.
>>
>>578795105
The Shakespeare quote from Versus 13 isnt a meme. We have MoM themed after religious imagery and iconography both holy and demonic vs The Darkness... which is darkness and demonic. But he's sacrificing kids and has keikakus to do it.

Then there's Yozora who wants to save Sora and fight Sora? And whoever is his antagonist that we havent seen yet.

There's definitely something more behind MoM's people and the Darkness' war we are missing.

Some newgens might not like this post but as a lifelong KH fan, I want to see Nomura direct another Final Fantasy game where he has full creative control. I'd love to see his KH style storytelling with a mature vibe. I'd love to see Versus XIII but it doesn't even have to be that.

Hamaguchi doesn't deserve the new forced title of the King of Square Enix. He is rumored to be making FFXVII but it should honestly be Nomura. Nomura is plenty capable of directing two big titles at once like KH3 and FF7 Remake part 1.

When the light goeth out, and when it is simple & clean, it shall be anointed.
The son of Xemnas shall be his real son, and his son shall be his son; he was ready to be covered with clouds-when the light came upon Xehanort, and when the light came upon him, and when he came upon himself in bed, he went out into the light. Yea, we have rejected the things which I have asked of thee: what is their miracle, if they be not found in anger and hate?
When Kairi's son was married, Xehanort's cup was broken and he brought me before them both; therefore it shall be light unto thee, and thou shalt be clean, and thou shalt be clean, and thou shalt be clean.
The two of us will be light and will be able to walk with the Keyblade; two days when the light is bright. When Xemnas was ready, he was ready to brick, or something, he was ready to think that the light would shine on the ship. I'm strong enough to stick to the stick, and I'm going to remember that it's your wale.
If the moon is bright when it is dark, then the moon is bright when it is dark-if it is dark.......... what will move it when it is dark? Xemnas was raised by Kreia (KOTOR2), and he was waiho to cloud the night.
wale no to the in a if the animals are there, and you can hold the books there, so that when they are hidden in the rain they will be covered with them when they are asked.

There's a non-zero percent chance there could be no DLC for KH4 if they want to go straight to KH5 after. This is what SE did with FF7 Rebirth, and what they kinda did with DDD (no Final Mix like BBS). Can't say that's good or bad, just putting that possibility out there.

>>
>>578846219
Xehanort wanted to body hop repeatedly to stronger and stronger bodies and then intialize a new keyblade war because he wanted to see, unironically, what all the fuss was about and why a war even happened. MoM's is literally impossible to speculate on. The man has a time defying ability to record everything it will ever see, he's got a fool proof checklist for everything that will ever happen and he created/controls everything we see both in front of and behind the scenes. If he has a single crack in his armor (and he was being honest) it's that he's actually terrified of the Darkness. In the same way a child is.

>Xehanort wanted to body hop repeatedly to stronger and stronger bodies and then intialize a new keyblade war because he wanted to see, unironically, what all the fuss was about and why a war even happened

That seemed to be his goal in BBS and DDD, then his characterization in KH3 seemed to flip on that.
>>
>>578846536
It was still his goal even till the end of three, he just didn't need to body hop anymore because he'd come to the end of his goals which was obtaining the X-Blade and summoning Kingdom Hearts. He has always been extremely intelligent and cunning, always having backup plans for backup plans.

what's the best figure line for KH? I have none of them at the moment (besides the smash amiibo i guess) and wanted to look for some, but i don't even know if i should go for a proper still figure or ones with joints and shit
yes pic related is a real piece of licensed merchandise

Bring Arts if the character isn't Sora or Riku, they basically gave a figure to everyone on this cover. Play Arts Kai is the absolute best IMO.

Trying to buy Ventus secondhand will give you a heart attack.

> It completely slipped my mind, but did we ever properly rescue Ansem the Wise from the RoD?

He was rescued, but “we” really didn’t do anything to help him, fake Ansem brought him bck to the light realm, then he went home on his own.

What the fuck. Also why is Ebay filled with a bunch of AI slop on the front page now.

well i never wanted to have a complete collection but yeah with these prices they can keep them

investors like it when you tell them you're using the latest fad, remember when everything was about nfts?

Honestly, barely. That was a flash in the pan.

Man I hope they do another run of the bring arts when KH4 comes out. I really want xion and roxas for a normal price. Wayfinder trio would be nice as well.
>>
>>578858057
And make new ones, too. I want Larxene and Saix.
>>
>>578859301
I want ANY version of Xehanort. Currently the only one is the Terra figure, that costs too much
>>
Someone should hotglue a Larxene/Xion/Namine figure
>>
>>578860153
All we got is an old man Xehanort Funko iirc.
>>
i think Donald and Gooyf are gonna meet Sora in the coco world cause Hades tells them it's the only way he knows, but it's also a one way trip. Meaning they'll be stuck in quadratum with him after that
>>
>>578865813
Why would Cocoland be unreachable from the other disney worlds and the other way around? what changes?
>>
>>578866069
land of the dead, special rules apply
>but
they don't want to land in mexico
also unironically there's not even a way to enter the land of the dead, Miguel in the movie does it by being cursed for stealing from the dead or something like that

the point is that the underworld, the final world, quadratum, the land of the dead and basically all this death related places are connected, or at least i think they are and it's why they're going there
>>
>>578866307
I've only ever gotten thr mobile game plots through reading about it here but wasnt Hades able to pull people from the Final World to his Underworld? Not to mention Auron was implied...something andhad pyreflies cameo when he disappeared.

We are getting an articulated FormIsm KH3 Sora so I think they're starting over in that line and BA is over. But who knows. Square is weird.

>remember when everything was about nfts?
>>578857494

I remember Square put NFTs in the first FF7 Cloud Bring Arts and charged extra lmao.
>>
>>578867254
final world and quadratum are two different places

How are you this bad? For your own sake you should stop playing videogames.

You borrow someone else's. He only has so many hands.

I'm thinking we're going to have another moment where the Keyblade chooses him again despite MoM calling for it since they are sentient. Maybe theyll explore how sentient it is a little bit. It reminds of how in Dai no Dainouken the hero's sword was like that so it was a fucking badass and stabbed thr big bad wouldn't move.

Maybe Yozora's boss fight was him trying to teach Sora how to fight people who steal keyblades?

>>578868008
Hades doesnt send anyone to Quadratum though what are you talking about

I was thinking, how long is it between the end of KH2 to the start of DDD? A month?
>>
>>578872169
Yeah it's pretty much bugger all. Coded happens inbetween but that could literally be a one day event.
>>
>>578872169
A month at the most. More realistically a week

Last for Riku

Didn't they showed the Missing Link poster in one of these events? I might be wrong

darkness, closing in

Yes. It was during the 20th anniversary event where they showed pic related
