>>580841845Probably before KH4. I’m hoping they put some of the stuff from Missing Link in here now that it’s cancelled
Favorite character from the series and why? Mine has to Roxas because he was so well written.
>>580850169Goofy.
>>580850169our fuarking hero Sora
>>580849749Given enough time, it's possbile to get back together with your ex.
Why is this not a trident?
>the first Disney world Sora goes to after QuadratumWith it having two visits, giving the players that immediate Star Wars injection may be the genius play.
suggestion to add second visits to >>580850015 in subsequent threads
>>580850904I know fujoshis take any strong friendship between guys as romantic. But Axel always seemed fruity to me. And him and Saix just do not feel heterosexual at all.
>>580851426Just had a realization that Luke is 100% going to be "played" by AI and will sound about as ensouled as a piece of gravel
There it is, folks. Missing Link (abridged) is going to be incorporated into KH4’s plot. I think this was inevitable. The formula of the numbered games being sequels to non-numbered games that originally released on handheld consoles, or mobile? Unsustainable.
>>580853198Must've been something always intended without the foresight of ML being cancelled
>>580851426immediate maybe but only the last Disney worlds are relevant to the plot and the second episode will mainly be about the Ewoks tower defense mini game
>>580849846GOOD MOOOOOOOORNING /khg/! Just wanted to remind you that it's been confirmed from achievement and trophy leaks that Moana (yes, THE Moana from The Walt Disney Corporation) has been deconfirmed for KH4!Make sure to save your tears for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 4 release when Eddie Murphy from The Haunted Mansion walks into the spotlight!>H-HAH! BUT THE NEW KEYBLADE HAS WATER AND LAVA...JUST LIKE MOANA! IT COULD ALSO BE ATLANTIS OR ELEMENTAL!!!!!“No!”Yikes! That’s a large assumption. It's clearly an OC Keyblade! How does this Keyblade have any similarities or design elements to any of the movies you listed besides water and lava? Unlike you larpers and tourists, I've been playing since KH1 first released! Ever heard of Decisive Pumpkin, Stroke of Midnight, or Favorite Deputy? While you’re busy obsessing over Moana, care to explain why the Keyblade features no Polynesian or Islander design elements? Seems a bit suspicious if you ask me, but feel free to continue your denial. Your tears of disappointment will be all the more sweeter!
>>580851402KH1 keyblades are a breed of their own
>>580854259Moana is a terrible character, I'm glad the movie was skipped, hopefully forever.
HERBIE WHEN
>>580854916>Sora takes Heroin with Lindsay Lohankino
>>580853470Must've been something always intended without the foresight of ML being cancelledYeah, that’s very possible. I imagine that Mickey’s segment will contain a lot of mobile lore dumps. I don’t see Radiant Garden in the trophy list. I do wonder where all the Subject X stuff fits in then.
there's so much treasure and random dialogue in the caribbean world holy shitit's like they gave all their efforts here and in olympus
>>580854259this makes me think that if Moana was in people would've jumped to say that keyblade is in fact moana's, even though it clearly isn't even beyond Moana not being in the gameLike i always said it was the equivalent of star seeker or shooting star, aka the oc keyblade you get soon after the start of the game, and i was also 100% convinced Moana was gonna be in the game as a world (and before d23, i was also 100% convinced that's where they were going to show it off)
forspoken girl in quadratum
>>580853198I’m hardcore coping that Mickey has a huge side quest with these books and you’re rewarded with lore or cutscenes that were cut from 0.5.
>>580858185She's gona be a dandelion and fight freaking heartless.
>>580856520You are 100% unfortunately correct anon. They would have just doubled down. Despite it having no design elements of Moana whatsoever.
We better get to explore Scala
>Multiple world visits are backI like this, one of my issues you could say with KH3 was that i found spending so long in one world got sort of a little boring, so if they break the worlds up into two visits that should help keep them fresh. I have been thinking though that with only 7 worlds if the game is going to be 50ish hours in length then each world would need to be around 7 hours. That seems like a they're going to need a lot of additional content in the worlds to keep you busy.Thoughts?
>>580860621I thought the world revisits in 2 were wastes of time that felt like filler for the most part and I prefered the way the other games did it where you're only in a single world for one visit. If these world visits are more meaningful, then I'll be fine with it.
>>580860621I still think KH1 had the best worlds, each world is as long as it needs to be, none is really artificially padded like in KH3 or a hallway with no platforming like KH2.
>>580860772i feel like they're gonna "fix" that by having the first world visits being Sora without Donald and Goofy, except Zootopia. So at least you have second visits where the difference is that SDG are together
I finally am finished with my critical mode mod for Re: COM, I just have to do some final tests and see if I can move rewards from one floor to another, and I can say that I've completed everything I set out to do, except for sound injection, that's a bitch.
>>580861309be sure to share it cause i want to try it
>>580861454I'll throw it up on the internet archive. I just realized I need to test things on Riku's side so it will be a little later in the day than I think it will be. I will say that I wanted a way to gate gaining ultima weapon but I did end up just having it be a reward in castle oblivion without a pre-requisite. It's on the final floor anyway, you may as well go crazy.
>>580852490I have admiration for the diehard Soriku fans who've been like that since the beginning, but there's so much more meat to the Lea and Isa relationship. In general I trend towards pairings, regardless of type, that have any level of tension or antagonism to them.>>580854259Don't worry, I just asked Nomura in person and he confirmed Moana for KHV. #yourewelcome
>>580860306I wanna explore it, too. But I don’t think it’s an active living world that will look like it did it KH3. We haven’t seen anything Mickey related that isnt related to books. Even the achievements are book related. Scala is probably just ruins like Hollow Bastion with a library.
>>580861948That's fine with me. We will need stuff like that since KH5 will be back to status quo .
So what's in this thingIf the MoM's name is supposed Kara what's the "XSuper" on top of the box supposed to mean?
So what do you guys think about Luxu and the MoM?I have a friend who is very confident they both come out as heroes in the end.
>>580861948>I have admiration for the diehard Soriku fans who've been like that since the beginning, but there's so much more meat to the Lea and Isa relationship.Agree. I’ve always wondered why fujos were so hellbent on convincing everyone that Riku is gay when Axel is literally right there and has loads more subtext. Lamenting in his diary how his BFF changed. Flat-out telling Roxas that the most precious thing to him is his memories of his past. The scene where he describes to Roxas what love feels like. I’m like…bruh. THIS nigga gay.>In general I trend towards pairings, regardless of type, that have any level of tension or antagonism to them.I’ve always found the Lea and Isa duo to have the most intriguing plot thread in the series. BBS was so eerie to me seeing their young selves. They wanted to sneak into the castle where human experimentation goes down soon after. And while KH3 tells us about their desire to help Subject X, we still don’t really know how Isa became the twisted creature he was in Days and 2. Saix’s diary indicated that even HE knew how different he was and I lowkey got the sense that he hated himself. Then there’s his X scar, which Nomura said was a future plot point.
>>580865220>If the MoM's name is supposed Kara what's the "XSuper" on top of the box supposed to mean?So, the names of the Foretellers aren’t their real names. Their names MoM gave them. And since his plan was to turn them into vessels for the seven deadly darknesses, they’re named after a deadly sin. Kara could be MoM’s real name. Xsuper is probably the darkness’s name. I don’t know what’s in the box, though.
>>580865220They haven't decided yet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvvrluxpFVIWish SDG arrived at the time Herc was building his rep before the destruction of thebes and attack on olympus
>>580858574>Obtain all key volumes in Scala ad Caelum.Demyx’s past is contained in one of the volumes. It’s missable similar to Namine’s cutscene in KH3.
>>580853198THe sheer amount of work that would have to go into this tells me they were planning this from the beginning. They literally said Kh4 and missing link were to be interconnected much more than KHux was. So I doubt it. Anything to do with Missing link outside of what they had already planned for is most likely DLC if that. Don't forget Nomura was just never gonna cover the events of 0.2 and Xehanort's game if it weren't for 0.2(which only depicted a portion of Aqua's story) and the vastly cut down Dark Road. Hell even KH4 hit the limit, Nomura straight up said he wanted to include more and couldn't.
>>580873412Missing Link was never realIt was an ARG
>>580860621I feel like it will be different this time around, or rather, it will be like KH1, where some worlds were one and done, and some you would go back to.
>>580866056I always find it funny when people try to portray RIku fighting the demon tide as romantic. They call it his "sacrifice" even though he accomplished nothing died, and Sora did right after. They quite literally don't understand what a sacrifice is. It's a last stand, which could be romantic, but they're obsessed with interpreting it as a sacrifice.
>>580873502Ilovebees
It's so sad we're never gonna be able to add missing link to the roster. Post you lists anons.
>cookingEZ PZ>egg cracking dishFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
I am still wondering what were they thinking when they made the projectiles for double arrowguns slow as shit
>>580874675Not much I would change except moving Omega Weapon to S tier.
>>580860621KH4 isn't going to be 50 hours lol. It'll be 30 same as the rest. Requests or whatever will just be side content.
unless it's literally the eddie murphy movie i don't see them making a whole trailer just for haunted mansion, i feel like it'll be tied to another, stronger, world reveal. Same with monochrome origins now that i think about it
>>580873750>I always find it funny when people try to portray RIku fighting the demon tide as romantic. They call it his "sacrifice" even though he accomplished nothing died, and Sora did right after. They quite literally don't understand what a sacrifice is. It's a last stand, which could be romantic, but they're obsessed with interpreting it as a sacrifice.I’ve seen those takes, too. The Disney worlds thematically were about sacrificing yourself for love. So I think they desperately wanted to fit Soriku into that theme. Even though, to me, it seemed like Riku was thinking “while you’re crying like a little bitch, Sora, one of us has to stand up and fight”. They also ignore that Sora actually makes the ultimate sacrifice for Kairi and Riku’s reaction is “his hearts decided, let him go.” I’ve even seen Sorikus deny that Sora and Kairi eating the paopus was romantic. I don’t bother arguing with them.
>>580876979never forget the sleeping realm theory, their last true act of desperation.
>>580876979See considering Riku says Sora doesn't believe he's worthless (I believe in you) it's less "one of us has to fight" and more "even if it's hopeless i'll fight" and I think it's this courage that gives Sora the will to fight. I think when he spoke to the nameless star he even mentions it in japanese. But it in any case they really do try to fit a square peg in a round hole because of the whole "sacrifice" angle. In any case it's still mostly about platonic love because Riku gives Sora the will to fight on while Kairi gives him the means by holding him to existence. It was a real group effort, but unfortantely most Kh fans are retards blinded by their ships or hype moments and aura shonenfags
>>580850169Xion. A heckin cute and valid trans girl
>>580878428killing you with my mind.
You guys play 3 with mods?I'm just really tempted to download a mod to make falling slash not shit
>>580877247“Riku was actually Sora’s light, not Kairi”. Yeah, that was all I needed to know. It’s the same as the “aitsu” thing. For those that don’t know, it’s the idea that Namine was replacing Riku in Sora’s memories rather than Kairi.>>580878039Yeah Riku wasn’t actually being that harsh. It just wasn’t framed as this sentimental act of romantic sacrifice they wanted it to be.
>>580873750Gays and liberals are retarded.That scene is based because Riku accepts he's the last stand since Sora is out of commission and having a breakdown. Riku will do whatever he can, though knowing he probably isn't strong enough.

>>580884391ew what's wrong with his teeth? And his right shoulder looks dislocated
>>580884391I wonder why they went with kh2 sora instead of 3
>>580884391What a disaster
>>580884816cause 3 sucks
>>580884391>that smile
>>580884391this genuinely looks like garbage.
>>580884816it's the most recognizable oneedgy 2005 black colors with nomura's 2000s belts and zippers but has the goofy ass baggy shorts and clown shoes1 and ddd are too young, 3 sora is simply not it so 2 is the best option3 is just not good enough, man
>>580874675Why are the lilo and stich and snow white keyblades in F tier?
Nomura should go back to belts and zippers
>>580876719I don't see how it's small enough to not get a dedicated trailer. It's a whole world.
>>580876719Why are so many people doubting is the eddie murphy movie?It would be weird to make a world out of a disney ride
>3 is just not goodGarbage ass opinion, stuck in the past ass boomer who can't let go
>>580885347Because they're home anon
Kingdom Hearts 3 was spectacular.
>>580885823>Garbage ass opinion, stuck in the past ass boomer who can't let goHe may be a boomer. But it’s funny seeing these little ass kids actually say that KH3, developed by the handheld team in the heyday of the FF15 debacle, is as good as a game made during the PS2 golden age.
>chopped as fuckThis one's all yours, 2fags. The other game enjoyers still have Sakurai's golden touch.
>>580884816who knows. you'd think it's be kh1 sora over anything else.
>>580886120the only people who hold this opinion are ones who don't like the series desu.
KH1, KH2, KH3 are all on the same tier of quality, because they always fuck something up in the pursuit of something else.
>this so peak ong fr muh childhood
>Meow Chads once again remain supremeUnsurprising desu. the book of prophecies spoke of this.
some of you fags actually like 3? not surprised
>>580886674yeah kingdom hearts fans like the games. you probably first found out abotu the series from a speedrunner so you're just repeating whatever retarded nigger babble came out of their mouths.
>>580885678For some reason, some people think worlds based on smaller IPs can't get a whole trailer.
>>580885764Haunted Mansion has it's own lore and set pieces. It doesn't really need any of the movies. Epic Mickey didn't have Eddie Murphy running around for the Haunted Mansion level. If it was adapting any movie though, it'd be the one that came out a couple of years ago with Danny Devito, Owen Wilson and Jared Leto.
>>580886391> the only people who hold this opinion are ones who don't like the series desu.News to me. I liked the handheld games and KH3 was aight. But def not on the same level as 1 or 2 were for their time. Maybe you’re too young to remember those days.
>>580886765A KH fan is someone heavily invested in the story.Enjoying KH3's gameplay or disney worlds doesnt make you a KH fan, imo.
>>580887140There's certain "fans" who make it their duty to put down KH1 and especially KH2 because they think that if they put them down enough it'll suddenly make others regard their favorites better. It doesn't help that they only started caring about Kingdom Hearts because they heard about it's lore that only truly started after KH2 and wanted a piece of it.
>>580886765Sora would never be ableist or use language that disparages minorities. You aren't a Kingdom Hearts fan.
>580885823>580886391>580886765
SHITku also confirmed>https://x.com/fortnite/status/2099222846065258976
>>580887525Yeah, I do find it weird that they have to minimize 1 and 2’s cultural impact to insist 3 is on the same level. 3 was entirely riding KH2’s coattails. Roxas dual-wielding, Twilight Town, Org13 rehash. They even had to insert memes like “Demyx Time”.
>>580888251>They even had to insert memes like “Demyx Time”.Wasn't that in english only
>>580887828You're a casual who got called out, don't be mad that people will immediately shit on you.
>>580888251>Roxas dual-wielding,Something he's done before coming back? Wow he shouldn't have done it.>Twilight TownI agree it should have a cutscene only world and we should have gone to destiny islands.>Org13 rehashThey were funnily enough, more relevant to the story in games after Kh2 than they were in KH2.
>>5808882512's cultural impact, far as I can tell, was yaoi and "press triangle to win" but I guess fags are happy about that
>>580884816cause Nomura had no involvement in this
All the Kingdom Hearts games are enjoyable and fun. I love Kingdom Hearts.
KH2 fans are the shonenfags of the series, the meleefags. They like one thing specifically and will become the most obnoxious people in existence. They love hype moments and aura and probably hate the best written game in the series Days because it's about the characters and not QTEs. They'd probably love FFXV and Wolverine.
Kairi as well, it's peak.
>>580888375Perhaps. I would not know since I’m not a Jap. But KH2 had its own legacy that inspired a million fanfics and spinoffs. It had iconic scenes like the Axel fight, Roxas summer vacation line, Xemnas final boss, etc. KH3 was a nostalgia fest cashing in checks KH2 wrote, along with a few handheld games. Its most iconic scenes Woody roasting Buzz or Yeetus Vanitas. Things ppl who mock the series enjoy as parody. Well see if KH4 is able to create its own legacy.
By that logic, KH4 is riding KH3's coattails for having Toy Box
>580888525>o-only one guy can possibly dislike 3, n-n-newfag
>>580889117Why are you seething?
>>580886130what are the revenge values of that shoulder
>>580889026>Things ppl who mock the series enjoy as parody.Lol sure
What the fuck is this keychain supposed to be?
Everyone remembers Sora KingdomHearts and the time he cut all those buildings into pieces in KH2...
>>580888951Then there's me, the disneyfag, who likes KH3 because of Toy Box, Monstropolis, Corona and Caribbean.
>>580889639iirc fortnite's "mascot" of sorts is a llama, or a pinata?
>>580889639Llama. Mascot animal in the Fortnite universe
>>580889639it's celebrating Viva Piñata.
Is it true Arendelle was changed in development and that's why it seems wonky or was that just a myth?
>>580888951I don’t hate Days. I played it in 2009 on the actual DS hardware. I just do not think Axel’s life as a Nobody was supposed to be the defining portion of his life. KH3 was mostly focused on fan-service bc it took so fucking long. “Oh Axel’s back in his black coat with his Nobody friends, it’s so nostalgic!” The Nobodies’ arcs should be about their human selves. We’ve had more screentime of Larxene human self than Axel’s. KH4 may actually move the series forward.
>>580888058>>580889018genuinely fucked up we'll get homunculus SRK being able to team up before the real ones do in a game.
>>580890206It's the only truly bad world in the series, so it has to be.Personally i think End of the World is worse, but i know it's an unpopular opinion.
>>580890206depends what you mean, the somewhat "official" story is that the Frozen team told the KH team to back off (though they did provide 3D models from the actual movie) cause they didn't want KH to steal their thunder (they were working on frozen 2 at the time). Tangled also had something similar, though for that the team was working on the sequel tv show, in both cases they didn't want KH to do sequel plots. The Frozen team was just the most autistic of the bunchopposite of the BH6 team, which while also having a sequel tv show still let them do a sequel plot, or pixar that went on record to say KH was canon to the movies (this got quickly forgotten when the suits at pixar changed soon after)
>>580890416>The Nobodies’ arcs should be about their human selvesDidn't understand the game award
>>580890206>>580890525>>580890632Nope, anything otherwise is a rumor, particularly the shit about the movie being different in development and having elsa as a avillain in the games, a stupid ass rumor spread by mattpatt. Nomura and co got to see a private prescreen viewing of the final product and loved it so much they both immediately wanted it in the game. The problem is that Frozen is the anthisesis of the classic disney movie formila which KH is founded on
>>580890668I understood it perfectly. It was a side story and that’s the point. Currently, we saw Luxord’s human self in the trailer. We got a plot set up w Marluxia and Larxene human selves. That’s the kinda stuff I’m interested in. Not KH2 nostalgia. New stuff.
>>580890436>homunculus SRK being able to team upwith Goku and Supermanalso unironically, the rest of the disney stuff in there like star wars, simpsons, family guy, etc etc
Roxas as well!
How does Sora being in Fortnite and Smash get explained?
So do all fortnite models look like absolute ass or did we get a special treatment?
>>580890903The story and structure just doesn't meld with KH. Love between two sisters, mundane love without any hero to save the day. It's also kinda split into three with Elsa going up, then Anna, then Hans. Nomura's vision is that Sora goes into the actual movie, for good or bad, he tries to be faithful to the characters. It's why Sora gets separated from Elsa, SDG are way too much for her social anxiety and she already wants to be alone. Not to mention story wise, she has to decide on her own if her power is light or darkness. I suspect a similar thing will be done in KH4 with Star Wars, everyone memes Sora will try to convince Vader to "return to the light" but he's already learned his lesson in Frozen that some things are a family matter So they throw them into a dungeon. And the dungeon is blatantly Larxene's, rather than being some reused asset from a boss Elsa or heartless Elsa. So you follow Elsa, and because the story is Elsa being afraid of her power Sora gets thrown down a mountain. He meets Anna who wnats to help her sister, and the movie is about her doing this despite having no powers, just raw determination. Again, Nomura respects the characters so he separates Sora from them again to go do off their own thing. Then at the end You go fight Skoll, Hans shows up with no lines because he's lame, and Disney suggested they do a nordic thing so they go with Skoll instead of the ice castle that got reused as the gummi boss. As for Larxene having ice powers that's whatever, Xemnas does the same thing with his illusionary building in KH2, Zexion has his book that sucks you into it. Again the problem is that despite what everyone thinks Frozen doesn't work very well in the KH story because it's the opposite of the disney formula where the hero saves the day. And really with being able to look into the game files no one has ever come forth with any sort of cut content or anything that show there was supposed to be anything different from what we got.
>>580891230oh yeah i guess they do come in fours usually?>>580891276idk what they're doing man, the dragon ball ones also look like extreme ass
>>580891264nanomachines
>>580891064Hype moments and aura faggot. Zero care for the characterization itself. The quintessential KH2 fan.
>>580891264it was totally explained in missing link, too bad that was canceled so now we'll never be able to see that totally real explanation that would have satisfied everyone
>>580884391Oh god that smile. Why didn't they just get Kh3s model? It was made in UE.
>>580892043>>580885052
>>580891264He was shattered into infinite pieces on a conceptual level by the demon tide, Sora collected enough and the rest drifted off from the final world into the astral plane where it then made its way into fictional worlds(other realities like Fortnite and Smash)
>>580892043Nomura clearly doesn't give a fuck about these collabs so no model for fortnite.
>>580891574> Hype moments and aura faggot. Zero care for the characterization itself. The quintessential KH2 fan.No, it’s *because* I care for the characterization I didn’t like 3 much. It was a nostalgia cash-in that did very little to push anyone forward. Axel was reborn in DDD and took back the name Lea. Then he goes back to being called Axel for the *actual* KH2 fags nostalgia wank fest. His big scene is…a self-aware line saying he’s popular. Wow. Almost like he’s a fanservice cameo. Roxas dual-wielding is nothing but a hype aura fanservice moment, unlike the original scene. His presence carries none of the weight it had in 2 bc he can just get inserted into a robo body off-screen.
>>580891407Would Frozen 2 work better?
>>580861454It took forever. The full list of changes is in the read me. I never got the sound injection to work, but I'm happy with where it's at. The visual tells for critical hits are in, and the other additions are working. I've done some pretty decent testing and didn't find any issues with the final result. What started as an attempt to simply port a cheat engine table I found online to a Lua script exploded, and many refinements and additions got added to it. Maybe one day I'll return to it and add in the missing SFX sounds, but as of now, I just want to play the game and keep my series replay going. https://archive.org/details/re-co-m-critical-modeIf it crashes or is too unbalanced I'll fix and update as I go.
>>580892590Probably yeah.
never played the series. should i start with the first release of 1 on my cathode ray tv or final mix on pc? i hear theres added content in the final mix but playing on a crt feels a bit comfier
>>580892496>Then he goes back to being called Axel for the *actual* KH2 fags nostalgia wank festAlmost like this was plot relevant. Not to mention he's been axel for 10 years of his life.
>>580892831FM but you should do 1 on your crt at some point.
>>580892831you can have some of that added content on the crt cause final mix was also on PS2, but you're much better off playing it on PC or another modern console. This is like the one series where the remasters completely took over the originals, even for just the better resolution + better fpsyou'll have to play the originals for the DS games, KH Days and KH Re:coded, cause they never got remastered as games but as movies (= collection of cutscenes), and i read there's some fans projects like an emulator made specifically for them, to make them play as if they actually did get a remasterthen there's the mobile games, but they're completely offline now so you can just watch the cutscenes on youtube for those
As someone who has no nostalgia of the KH series, i think pic related is the worst world.All i felt was anger playing this level, i just kept dying and dying.
>>580892929>Almost like this was plot relevant. Not to mention he's been axel for 10 years of his life.Well, it was boring and the actual plot was boring, too. Same went for all the Org rehash stuff.
>>580893552>Same went for all the Org rehash stuff.Funny because the org was more relevenat in 3 than in 2.
>kh4 has completely leaked>sora, kairi, riku and roxas are in fortnitewhat a time to be alive
Nothing related to minigames or arcades in the trophies?
>>580893458Wait, nevermind second worst, i forgot about KH2's Agrabah 2nd visit.
Will we have to Fortnite for lore, or is it not canon?
>>580893729Maybe they were more relevant in their roles as villains in the worlds, sure. I’m just talking about their development as characters after 13 years. It was almost completely stalled in 3, with only a tiny tiny glimpse of their actual backstory or motivation.
>>580894092Agrabah in Kh2 is terrible all round
>>580893894>3 different 100 Acre Woods minigames>training course challenges>something called "Royal Chain">Gummi Ship>time trials for the books in Scala>maybe more in specific world requestsThat's all I can glean from the list
>>580894362I'm a kh2 halloween town hater myself.
>>580894125yes the fortnite hidden world where they all learn to shoot guns/dance is critical
>>580894338No even in characterization they were flat out better than 2. KH2, the game that had to add half an hour of extra cutscens of the org summarizing the events of the game because they barely had screentime, being neck and neck with fucking maleficent and her team rocket impersonation, and who were so irrelevent as characters that most of their names were never said, to the point that you only learned how to pronounce their names in other games.
>>580891532>idk what they're doing man, the dragon ball ones also look like extreme assDBZ ones are 3+ years old before they had a dedicated anime team. Look at the recent Mega Man ones to see how cel-shading is done now
>>580894125>no Mickey head for a keychain>KH2 Sora, a Sora that has only existed for specific periods in the overall story (KH2, beginning and end of DDD, 0.2 until the start of KH3)Yeah no shot this has loreIt can't even be humorously argued it's a Data Sora like Smash
>>580894396>>something called "Royal Chain"Ah it's a fucking card game bro. That said i'm sad, I was kinda hoping they'd do like the Gummiphone with the classic kingdom but more future gen games, like snes or something. Or like an Arcade in quadratum.
Card kino can truly begin at last.
>>580853198>Missing Link (abridged) is going to be incorporated into KH4’s plot.How do you know this? This could just be Mickey's jaunt through New Scala.
>>580895083Missing Link's marketing said it would uncover the mysteries of a "Blank Era" of Scala ad Caelum.
>>580894695They were marginally better in 3 than 2. 2 didn’t do much w them and it’s why I was looking forward to 3. I thought they’d be full characters now. after 13 years, I expected more than…the exact same thing as 2. Cryptic lines, no motivations or backstory, disappear w only a slight tease at the very end that they’re actually potentially deep characters.
>>580894338the org members in 2 (and com) just mostly show up to get killed, so yeahto this day i still do a double take at Luxord getting some meaning in 3 and forward
>>580895610it is quite funny that in 2 luxord's boss appearance is him just saying "I'd rather we skip the formalities" and getting straight to it.
>>580894830>KH1 data Sora exists in re:coded>KH3 data Sora exists in KH3 limit cut>KH2 data Sora exists...in fortnite
>June: Direct trailer>July: Missing Link intro leak>August: D23 and Fortnite tease>September: KH4 achievement leak and Fortnite official announcement>October: Collection releaseNovember will our last chance to relax this year before shit starts up again in December
>>580896324>November will our last chance to relax this year
>>580895610I’m sure it’ll be easier to develop them when they’re fully human characters.
The couldn't have just gotten the models from SE? It's the same engine.
>>580897061anon is tempting fate into have something more happen, and i support that
>>580897354What, you think a third leak could happen? No way.
Let's try to predict the keyblade names of the KH4 worlds.Galaxy Far Away: New HopeHaunted Mansion Grim GrinningLand of the Dead: RecuerdameMonochrome Origins: Lucky RabbitSavanna Central: Wild HeartToy Box: Idk
>>580895834Hell yeah brothers, I'll see YOU on the battle bus.
>>580884816Fortnite uses the same rigging for every fucking model so they all have to have the same proportions. KH1 is too short and he'd look even worse if they stretched him out. He already looks terrible here. 3 is out of fashion.
so true!
>>580897695>Haunted Mansion Grim GrinningDearly Beloved
>>580897919>3 is out of fashion.Revealed your bias a little too hard there, anon. All of SRK's numbered game outfits were based on the fashion trends in Japan at the time.

>>580898289CONSUMETHE SMALLMAKER FLUID
>>580897743i unironically would have, if (afaik) this shit is paid only and there's no way to get it by just playing the game
It's weird to me that Haunted Mansion is the only world pre-return to reality that doesn't get a revisit in KH4. I wonder if that's an indication that Donald and Goofy are going to rejoin Sora earlier than some people think.
>>580891407>I suspect a similar thing will be done in KH4 with Star Wars, everyone memes Sora will try to convince Vader to "return to the light" but he's already learned his lesson in Frozen that some things are a family matterWhy are Star Wars fags so delusional? I hope the KHIV world makes you wish to never see it in KH again.
>>580898872My theory is because is based on the 2003 movie and they want to avoid doing the eding of the movie.Also, the Haunted Mansion world is before Land of the Dead acording to the achivements.
>>580898872i think it means the opposite, as in the HM world will be about Sora facing his fears inside the mansion, cause unironically it's the haunted mansion muppet movie plotplus, every world before the "return from quadratum" achievement are also all worlds where Sora doesn't need a disguise, except the coco one where we already see he just gets a painted one (Donald and Goofy do too, but they also get completely different clothes, meaning theirs is from Donald's magic while Sora isn't)>>580899404>and they want to avoid doing the eding of the movie.keep in mind that in the other 2 movies the ghosts don't leave the mansion at the end, even in the one where the villain was literally the one forcing the ghosts to be there
>>580899839>keep in mind that in the other 2 movies the ghosts don't leave the mansion at the end, even in the one where the villain was literally the one forcing the ghosts to be thereThat's why why i think it's the 2003 one, otherwise they would have no problem having a HM revisit.
yeah i'm thinking they'll do a KH4 Sora amiibo for the switch 2 version of the game, and it unlocks the switch 2 keyblade in game (as apposed as just buying the dlc that gives it to you)
>>580886674BBS is the worst game in the seriesV-Cast might be better
>>580888058>fags in the replies SORIKU OMG SORIKU QUOTE Jesus christ
>>580899282What? I'm saying, every time Star wars is mentioned as being in KH people say Sora is gonna try ot convince darth vader to renounce his ways and return to the path of light (even though he's never done this ever). I'm saying Sora will learn that he's Luke's dad, and will leave his fate up to Luke and will simply support him, as he has learned in he Frozen world that some matters can't be interfered with by outsiders.
>>580900558The worst game is Re:Coded
>>580889639
Two keyblades for Coco, Star Wars, and Zootopia for their second visit? I think they could fit in a few extra Disney keyblades for those. Olympus Coliseum in KH2 had keyblades for both visits, but probably wasn't done for the rest because of the amount.
>>580901065It was a FF10 keyblade, not a second Hercules keyblade, though.
>>580892569Is that the photo mode or a mod
>>580892590Oh hell yeah. Frozen 2 has way more to it than 13 rooms of frozen snow mountain + an ice dungeon. Plus it's got a lot of unique boss potential. The only issue is they probably won't let SDG accompany Elsa because she's on a queen slay journey of self discovery and we can't let the men interrupt that.
>>580898492I love KH3The outfit in KH3 is out of fashion now I know all about Japanese fashion you baka
>people ITT legitimately think Jim fucking Evers, by no means whatsoever memorable or beloved main protagonist from the forgettable and fairly inaccurate 2003 movie adaptation of The Haunted Mansion, will be a party member>literally just Eddie Murphy the real estate agentIt's the parks ride plot. The end.
>>580901065Keyblade amount in KH4 will likely be low due to the Scrap and Build mechanics and the achievements suggesting there will be some heavy Keyblade customization
Will Sora be able to use the force like how after Neverland he could glide?
>>580902814> It's the parks ride plot. The end.What is the plot of the park ride? My family was too poor to go to Disney after their first child.
>>580902814Miguel and Hector are party members.
>>580903271>What is the plot of the park ride?you seeWHEN THE CRYPT DOORS CREAK AND THE TOMBSTONES QUAKE
>>580903103don't you need midichlorians to use the force
>>580899404I don't think the Land of the Dead has to be the first time that they reunite. Circumstances might be that every world pre-Sora's return starts with them apart as they'd enter through different ways.>>580899839I think it's cool how with most Disney worlds you can have a real good idea of what it's going to be if it's not an original plot just by knowing the property but Haunted Mansion has like four different possibilities. It just feels weird if Sora is alone during Haunted Mansion. There's not really any Haunted Mansion original party members and half the fun with Disney worlds is SDG riffing off what's going on. Not to mention all of the potential comedy from Donald being scared.

>new keyblade grapple hook mechanic>no spider-man worldit's probably for the best but really
>>580897919>KH1 is too short and he'd look even worse if they stretched him out.They could have gone with KH2 Sora in the KH1 outfit. When he's wandering around in Twilight Town whilst wearing clothes that are much too small for his teenage body
>>580903947they could do something very neat and have it be a DG level where you have to cast Cure on the undead to kill them, the way it works in Final Fantasy
>>580904009Marvel is probably going to get a world in KH5
>>580903027I can see it being the same amount as KH3, not counting the various platform keyblades.>Kingdom Key>that OC Lava-Water keyblade>Coco, Star Wars, Toy Story, Haunted Mansion, Monochrom Origins, Zootopia>Ultima Weapon>maybe 100 Acre Woods>Oathkeeper and Oblivion (either on release or later if Nomura gets silly again)That's 12 so far
>>580904009Sony would want exclusivity for a Spidey world.
>>580903947Mansion has 999 Happy Haunts and there's always room for one more. Sora is supposedly dead so he gets trapped in the mansion and he has to find his way out. World with puzzle elements and bizarre rooms and shit. This mf is the world boss. You run into classic HM characters such as The Bride, Madame Leota, the Hitchhiking Ghosts, and of course the groundskeeper and his dog.
>>580904369oh yeah forgot spider-mans is sonyshame
>>580904312Maybe pic related if it's not exclusive to Sigurd?
I still feel like Country of the Musketeers in DDD is still the most random disney world inclusion in the series.
>>580905090It would be if it weren't a mickey donald goofy story featuring pete as the bad guy. it hits every nail
>>580904638So it wouldn’t have much of a plot. More of an…escape room feel? I dig puzzle games. Saves more story for Quadratum and Scala if not every Disney world us a movie recreation, too.>>580904065DG?
>still no three caballeros world
>>580904765it's not, sony only owns spider-man movies and nothing else. iirc they don't even make money off the merchandise now>butthey also have money to pay for exclusivity, yes
>>580905278Mansion is sort of a retirement home for spooks and spirits from all over the world. Original owner of the Mansion was Master Gracy. Years later the Mansion was inherited by a woman known as The Bride. She has murdered multiple husbands and eventually met her own demise.In the 2003 movie, Jim Evers is contacted by Gracy to sell his mansion. Little does he know it's actually a plot to steal his wife who looks just like Gracy's lost love who died many a moon ago. Turns out the Butler didn't approve of Gracy and his original love's union (INTERRACIAL) and poisoned her and plans to do the same to Jim's wife. All the ghosts in the mansion are cursed to be there until Gracy and his original love are somehow reunited. 2023 movie plot is a single mom buys the house. It's haunted as shit, hires a bunch of weirdos to exorcize it. Hatbox Ghost traps them all there and is trying to kill them because he has trapped 999 souls in the house and needs one more to walk the earth.

>>580905090Haunted Mansion is too; with Haunted Mansion being in KH4, fags can be reassured that Treasure Planet and Atlantis do have a chance
>>580908441>fags can be reassured that Treasure Planet and Atlantis do have a chancelol lmao rofl
>>580908201Is Ava truly an antagonist if she may potentially be running whatever "Dandelion Dispatch" nonsense is happening in KH4? We still don't know where she is.
>>580908201>Vanitas is later revealed to be a True Ancient DarknessSo the question is: does Vanitas come back? Does Ventus keep him inside and slowly become corrupted? Does he drown in guilt after remembering Strelitzia? Do we get to see a more angsty Ven?
>>580907467They barely adapted that beyond “Jafar comes back with his Genie powers”
>>580903496No, they're just developed by people who can use the force, and thus a barometer for people who can genuinely use it versus fakes pretending.
>>580908585Ava is the true traitor; Luxu is the scapegoat; foxes are cunningLuxu is the most loyal follower of Master Of Masters and Luxu being the traitor was Master of Masters misdirection, it's why she wasn't present at the end of KH3, it's why we see her hooded in the June 2026 trailer looking over Dandelion, Ava assembling Dandelion in Quadratum to combat the Darkness in Quadratum and the Lost Masters overall
>>580908201>Individual Disney/ Pixar World Villains like Ernesto de la Cruz and Darth VaderZootopia has two potential villains depending on the movie they choose to adapt, likewise with Toy Story and Haunted MansionOswald is interesting because there is one villain that could actually play a major role depending on if they choose to use him and have important outside of his world
>>580905420>Not starting with KEXDogshit carousel
Ava could still be an antagonist if her goal opposes Sora’s. She’s not bad, but she isn’t opposed to fighting those who stand in her way.
>KH3 ReMIND showed Aqua's trauma manifesting in the form of Anti-Aqua>Melody Of Memory showed Kairi's trauma manifesting in the form of Master Xehanort>Melody of Memory was listed as "Phase 2" of Kingdom Hearts, and the game that introduced Quadratum (a world of fiction/ unreality)>Memories in physical form themselves blur the lines: what is real, what isn't real>The theme of KH4 is fiction vs. unreality: what makes someone and something real>KH CoM showed the consequences of Ansem possessing Riku; the story post KH3 won't treat dealing with Xehanort as another Tuesday>Terra has yet to go over his own arc, he was made a vessel of Master Xehanort for over a decade>Sora & the Guardians have unresolved trauma over the Dark Seeker Saga>KH4 begins mostly with a villain vacuum>One of the final achievements of KH4 is "The Lost Masters Saga begins", that means none of the Lost Masters will be defeated>The Lost Masters could weaponize the memories/ trauama/ manifestations of Sora & the Guardians>The Lost Masters could still be fought; maybe Ava and Master of Masters won't be fought, we'll see though>KH4 is the bridge game between Lost Masters and Dark Seeker Saga >KH5 onwards will have the 13 True Ancient Darknesses (no more villain vacuum like KH4 currently has it)>KH2 had Organization XIII, KH3 had 13 Seekers of Darkness, Kh4 can be Maleficent, Dark Seeker trauma manifestations, and some of the Lost Masters>Ansem SoD has unfinished business (Subject X)>Xemnas felt pain and emotion, also shares Apprentice Xehanort's memories>Part of me wanted to defy my fate, but when the others betrayed us, I found I did not care - Ansem SoD in KH3>KH4 could give Ansem SoD and Xemnas' Hearts closure, so they can move on; more than just vessels of Xehanort, they developed their own identities >KH4 also gives us a Xehanort who made a backup plan (14th lifetime) to explore the new world
>>580909909>Haunted Mansion literally deals with Unfinished Business with the dead, which can tie in with Ansem SoD and Subject X
>>580909909>Ansem SoD has unfinished business (Subject X)dont get me excited. kh3 made it seem as if his time was truly up, but i could never be sick of him
>>580910253Think about it, KH3 wouldn't connect Ansem SoD to an X-series character if it wasn't going to be important later on. We see Young Xehanort in KH4 already, Nomura said Xehanort can appear post Dark Seeker Saga as long as he is not the main antagonist, Ansem SoD never got to find Subject X, Ansem SoD and Xemnas still need their stories post KH3 resolved, their heart never ascended like Riku Replica or Master Xehanort, Xemnas also has Apprentice Xehanort memories (what if he gets involved in finding Subject X as well), and Xemnas can finally experience pain and emotion. I see their ends in KH3 as the beginning of their final arc. As fully realized individuals, separate from being just Xehanort extensions/ vessels
Yozora theory:Here is what I think: Verum Rex is a fictional video game in Toy Box. Verum Rex is essentially Final Fantasy Versus XIII; somehow, Yozora and his girl (Nameless Star) develop a Heart. She dies in the plot of Verum Rex; her Heart (that she grew) ended up in Final World. My theory: the driver is not Luxord's human form, but a character that sounds like him (Nomura misdirection). This also explains the ending "I've been having these weird thoughts lately." Yozora encountered Sora in Final World because Sora was erased from Reality and was crossing into Unreality; that is how a fictional being (Yozora) could encounter him. Here is what I think... Final World At Night (Before Quadratum) is a place on the edge of fiction... Sora literally encountered Yozora for that reason. Yozora's fighting style is all about making holographic projections using advanced tech magic. Now, what about "Saving Sora"? Well, I believe it's an objective Yozora has in the Verum Rex game, but Sora is the name of someone else in that video game (Yozora means Night Sky, so there is a Sora character in that game)
>>580877247Qrd?
>>580910601>their heart never ascended like Riku Replica or Master XehanortDidn't they return to the timeline to get properly offed by Sora in 1+2? I figured anything involving subject X would be Xehanort's task after the reveal he's gotten a 14th life in Quadratum. Do you suppose Xehanort will separate himself again, or maybe even forcefully be split into heartless/nobody during the events of 4?
>>580908441>>580908514Every main Disney and Pixar film will probably get a world eventually, specially cult classics like Emeror's New Groove, Atlantis and Treasure Planet.They're going to run out of popular movies to make new worlds of eventually.
>>580911434They did, but the idea is they fully grew their own Hearts. Ansem SoD's heart would be within Riku, and I imagine Xemnas' Heart would be within Terra. I can see both of their hearts guiding Riku and Terra towards Subject X, Riku's station of awakening in ReMIND already shows Ansem as apart of it
>>580910985Yozora was introduced as a fictional character, then ReMIND came out and people automatically assume he is a native to Quadratum, We know KH4 is about Reality Vs FIction, so I believe Yozora is the boss fight because he is a fictional character, I still believe Yozora will be an important KH4 character, but he is a Verum Rex native, not a Quadratum native
Ansem's dead, you fools. Did you literally forget that's how Master Xehanort came back?
>>580911758can ansem, who's already a heart, grow another separate heart on top of his?
>>580911997Ansem grew his own heart, while Xehanort's Heart was freed from the Darkness (when Ansem was defeated)
>>580911997>The Witch is gone. She cannot return from the realm of darkness of her own volitionMeanwhile this bitch was apparently time traveling. Anything could happen
>>580912067Yes, in Kingdom Hearts, anything can grow a Heart. Puppets, Nobodies, Robots, Data, Fictional Characters, and yes, even Heartless... KH, as a story, goes out of its way to show how anything can grow a Heart with time
>>580912251At this point i wouldnt be surprised if water bottles had hearts too.
No offense to anyone, but I hope we can be done with offshoot characters becoming their own person. Just stick w one version of a person. Flashbacks of apprentice Nort? Sure. Time traveling versions, replicas, Nobodies, data copies? Leave that stuff in the old saga. We have enough OCs now. We dont need that.
>>580912107Ansem didn't "grow" a heart, he was a heart. Because he was a Heartless.
>>580911693Anon, Disney will sooner let Nomura dig in their TV vault before they even consider Treasure Planet and Atlantis, it's nothing short of a small miracle Disney is using Atlantis for that Animal Crossing-cloneAnd frankly I'm not sure how popular Emperor's New Groove is in Japan and how it translates. If any Disney franchise could fill that niche, it would be Muppets
>>580912251>Our most precious treasures--even an empty puppet--the trees of the forest, and the petals on the wind--there are hearts around us everywhere we look. And it does not take superhuman powers to see them. Surely we remember as children the way our hearts made everything seem so shiny, and perfect. Sora has a heart like that--uncorrupted, willing to see the good before the bad. When he sees the heart in something, it then becomes real.People really forget DiZ's big speech in DDD.
Every KH game people bring up Treasure Planet and Atlantis, and they're a no show every single time. When is everyone going to accept they're absolute never evers?
>>580912434Yozora is literally a fictional character who somehow grew a Heart, lost the Nameless Star, and eventually broke through the boundaries of his own fictional existence.That makes the Final World scene way more important. Yozora isn't just "mysterious Quadratum guy" or a secret boss for the sake of it.He's literally living proof of KH4's whole Reality vs Fiction theme.A fictional character becoming real because he has a Heart strong enough to transcend the boundaries of his own existence would be the most Kingdom Hearts shit imaginable.
>>580912643He started as Xehanort's heart, sure. But in the KH universe, a heart isn't just a physical thing; it's defined by memories, emotions, and connections.Ansem SoD operated completely independently for over a decade. He built his own distinct memories, forged his own connections, and developed his own ego. By the time KH3 happens, he isn't just a mindless shadow of Master Xehanort anymore. He's his own distinct entity.That is exactly why he says, "Part of me wanted to defy my fate, but when the others betrayed us, I found I did not care." He had his own unique desires and regrets (like finding Subject X) that didn't just vanish into Master Xehanort when they reformed. The Heartless became an individual, and that individual grew a new, distinct heart through his own experiences.
>>580912673Dream Light Valley is using Atlantis because they're runing out of popular IPs to use.Same thing will happen to KH eventually, specially that disney is in a dark age of their new films.
>>580912845Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it will never will.
>>580914369No, if it hasn't happened yet, it's very likely it never will at this point
Theory: Data Greeting will return for KH4
>>580914735You could apply that logic to Haunted Mansion and Oswald.
What are we gonna do about her
>>580915073Oswald and Haunted Mansion hold some kind of reverence by Disney, helped by their historical relevance for the company Treasure Planet and Atantis are movies they barely tolerate the existence of and would rather everyone forgot about if given the chance
>>580915767Didn't Nomura want Oswald for KH3 and they told him it wasn't possible
>>580915767Well, explain Tron, then.
>>580915650Sora tends to immediately believe the best in everyone, but it would be interesting if Sora immediately saw through Bellweather's bullshit now that he's become a bit more mature. Even if Judy and Nick don't believe a word he's saying. I suppose a lot of these interactions also depend on when exactly Riku shows up in Quadratum. Does Riku show up early? Is he going through the same worlds alongside Sora? Is the alleged second visit a Riku visit?
>>580915884What Disney wants is fickle at time, they probably had cold feet after Epic Mickey not going how they wanted it too>>580916350Tron was pretty popular in Japan and most of Asia, for some reason. Honestly you'd have a stronger case bringing up Nightmare Before Chistmas, which mostly slid by with Disney not really paying attention that much to KH1's development
>>580915650Replace her with a Foreteller (animal masks; can be a predatory animal like Gula or Aced) , have it take place post movie story wise
>>580917228...So theyre fine with oswald now, but not back in KH3? wtf?
>>580917398They could do both since there's two visits. Same with Land of the Dead.

>>580894886>I was kinda hoping they'd do like the Gummiphone with the classic kingdom but more future gen games, like snes or somethingThe biggest desappointment this franchise ever gave me was opening a video called "Kingdom Hearts 3 Timeless River Trailer" and it being for the game & watch minigames
>>580913157No he fucking didn't you retard. His defeat remarks were nothing more than a nod to the player for being the OG final boss and sticking around for 20 years. He was fucking defeated. No more vessel, no more time travel, he's done for. A Heartless cannot just "grow" into a person.
>>580916350It's fucking based
>>580917543Oswald has a new series coming out in 2027. Synergy.
>>580911693>They're going to run out of popular movies to make new worlds of eventually.We now have the entire Fox catalog of movies and TV shows
Does anyone have a list of the known worlds that fell to darkness at some point?
>>580920432Let's be honest, they aren't using them any time soon.
>>580920778NTA, but Simpsons Hit & Run Remake may be on the horizons. Toss Sora into that sucker with the Rocket League Gummi-Mobile
>>580920436-Castle of Dreams-Dwarf Woodlands-Enchanted Dominion-Land of Dragons-Pridelands-Beast's Castle-Country of Musketeers (somehow)-The world that Sora's visit to Tron LEGACY takes place in-Land of Departure (sort of)-Les Cite de Cloches or whatever-Prankster's Paradise-Symphony of Sorcery (somehow)-presumably Dumbo's worldProbably missing a few
>>580920432What I wouldn't give...
>>580920778Honestly I would lose my shit if they ever did an AVP superboss
>>580921342Thanks, anon.What about Deep Space?
>>580922238Not so sure, maybeHis appearance in RG while very cool isn't explained as far as I know
>>580919473oxas and Xion started as mere data, bodies, or memory fragments, yet they grew genuine hearts entirely through independent experience, time, and connections. If an empty shell or a Nobody can forge an ego over a decade of independent existence, a splinter of Xehanort's consciousness operating autonomously for years doing the exact same thing isn't some crazy leap—it's literally how hearts form in this universe. Dismissing core character dialogue and writing as "just fan service" is just a cop-out because you don't want to engage with the actual text.
>>580921251>NTA, but Simpsons Hit & Run Remake may be on the horizonsI wish, but playable Apu 100% kills the chances of that happening
>>580860621What I miss the most is unlocking small new areas or reaching certain out of reach chests and the like when you get more movement options/trinities.Most world just felt done after the firsr visit in 3 which I felt was a shame.
>>580921342>Country of Musketeers (somehow)Are you someone who believes it's the same world as Disney Castle?
>>580916350Nomura really likes it
>>580854916only if we hear the Beach Boys song from the opening credits
>>580854916Herbie should be a summon you get in the Cars world
>>580926442No I don't, I mostly wrote somehow because I don't get the world in the first place. Mickey is on some sort of mission but Donald and Goofy seem completely unknown to the fact? Minnie is the Princess and Pete is their bad guy boss?What the fuck is going on here? Did they all just pack up and move away from Musketeer Land to Disneytown?
I implicitly trust Jack that he is the dark avenger/majin hunter
>>580929354I trust this man's strength.
>>580884391kh2bros they're laughing at us again
>>580929262>What the fuck is going on here? Did they all just pack up and move away from Musketeer Land to DisneytownYes because that world fell to darknessMickey was training under yen sid but was keeping it secret from Donald and goofy
>>580929262In the same way their world used to be in black and white with Pete as a respectable boat captain and Mickey as his mischievous underling, don't think about it
>>580923525Roxas and Xion were physical beings and I won't even go into how each of them are very special cases in the first place. Nobody wants to "engage" because you have no idea how the series works.
>>580930620So explain timeless river because that's clearly established as to be in the past before Disney Castle and Disneytown
It's kinda lame that there isn't a single org fight in the disney worlds in 3, it's all in the graveyard and the datas were all inside a circle arena datascape
>>580942893I think that was Nomura being stubborn about all organization fights having to be to the death instead of them running away after losing to fight again at the graveyard. Except Vanitas that one time but you don't play as Sora and he wins in the cutscene.
>>580898492I don't think people were dressing like KH1 sora irl at any time
>>580946295>do not reupload
>>580949852
>>580946295I wonder if that phone they showed in the past will have a significant purpose. Kinda odd they took time to add it next to the other kh4 images.
>>580950345
Maybe every world that wasn't in KH1 fell to darkness.
>>580915650the real kicker is Sora likely ending up being a lion guy, given what happens to the other lion guy in that movie
I get the feeling that the only KH trailer we will get at TGS is gonna be a "KH is now in Fortnite" trailer
keyblade swap mod for kh1 and kh2 whenall party members in the field together mod for kh1 and kh2 when
some people seem to think underworld is gonna be a whole worldits gonna be the equivalent of the riku in realm of darkness segment in 3. itll be a likt 15 minute donald goofy segment and thats it
>>580954184im going to tgsim /khg/'s man on the ground if anything happens
>>580954184>>580954549i mean KH4 is confirmed to be there, doesn't mean much sure but still they'll have to have something if it's confirmed to be there. Like fucking posters or whatever, what's the bare minimum to be considered as "being there"?
>>580954817square will have their booth space. itll be on the adverts and stuffz the screens will play the existing trailers. thats about all to expect when i went before kh3 they also had a replica keyblade you could pose with.its possible they have a new trailer but i wouldnt bet on it.a playable demo wouldve been announced by now
>>580954959so not even posters/new artworks are a given?
>>580955021NEW posters or art, i dont knowthere will probably be more focus on ff7 revelation
Peter Griffin as a summon?
https://x.com/TMZ/status/2099409209813090353Hayden (Kairi's OG VA) death cause finally confirmed Fentanyl-Laced Oxy aka she was killed
>>580956461Damn, that's fucking shit.
> KH4 has two of my most wanted worlds: Star Wars and Zootopia> But i won't buy KH4, because i hate KHUX storyThank you, Nomura...hahaha
>>580957865go to some other fandomwe dont need anymore furry zoomer secondaries thta haha i hate kh its actually gay cringe etc. that performance isnt novel anymore.like just go away.
>>580958120KH1, COM, KH2, Days and BBS are good.DDD, KH3 and UX just suck, specially the later.
>>580955973can we get David Lynch instead?
>>580957865It's not like KHUX's story is going to be that important.
>>580959389It probably will, unfortunately.
>>580959389Literally all characters in KH4 are from it
>>580958120I will play KH4 now just to spite you.
>>580957865> KH2 has two of my most wanted worlds: Tron and Pride Lands> But i won't buy KH2, because i didnt play KHCOM storyThank you, Nomura...hahaha
>>580959528Nearly all of the most relevant things happened off screen or we only got a passing glance at. It introduced the characters but how much of KHUX is actually going to be relevant in the end and how much of the relevant stuff is going to be able to be described in a single sentence?
>>5809605721) You CANNOT describe mobile gacha lore in a single sentence, it's absurdly complex, you need like 20 minutes of just explaining the plot minimum2) Obviously it's important, the entire backstory of KH4 is from mobile gacha, every single character is from mobile gacha
matter of fact, squares already teased their booth design. so like i said, ff7 focus
>>580960747you hate kingdom hearts -> go awayits really that simple
>>580961579>>580958120KH storyfags must be the most desilusional people i've seen.
>revived terra doesn't use ends of the earthHuhwhy?
>>580961493they'll push a button and all that shit will fall off, revealing the true KH4 themed booth underneathtrust
>>580961775You're just a bad person, it's that simple.
>>580949852>after sleightsMore like after I got certain enemy cards. Now I build my entire game plan around them.
>>580962372Terra and Aqua seem to only use their "evolved" keyblade when in armor. It's actually fairly consistent, odd as it is.
Are we having the “you need to watch 5 hours of mobile cutscenes” again? Maybe .5% of fans will do that (like me). But Squenix is retarded if they assume KH4 players watched it.
>>580965904Casuals should only be required to play whatever the game is they're playing but it's not like they should be catered to.
>>580966106> KH has always been a casual series. It only took a hiatus on handhelds because the transition to HD consoles was shit back then, then when it finally returned to console, they wanted normie $ again.
>>580963039the 7th and final world, midgartime ghosts were foretellers all along
>>580965904yes. dont like it, leave. go watch episodic capeshit.not everything is for you
>>580966502Yeah that's something you'd see on twitter, but it's clear they had a dedicated base for the non-console games given the sales figures. I do wish handhelds didn't die to be honest. I think that vector for development being gone is partially responsible for games taking so long to come out now.
>>580958672Only if you crawl around on the floor like a baby.
With all the marketing Disney is giving it, it’s clear that they want to court normie fans again. I know normie fans tastes well bc my sister is one. She really liked KH1 and KH2. But she did not have any interest in the non-numbered games. When the remaster collection came out, I convinced her to play BBS due to its narrative importance. She played Terra’s route but she didn’t like the downgraded handheld gameplay and didn’t wanna play through it three times so she just stopped there. She could not follow the story of 3 at all. Now, yes, you could say this is her fault for skipping the other games. But honestly, for a AAA game, the majority of people are gonna be like her. It’s probably not a good model to make niche handheld games mandatory for understanding the huge mainstream blockbuster. She still wants to play 4, despite not liking 3 or even remembering anything about it, last time we talked about it, lol.
>>580966974I'd say that's more of an example to keep ignoring casual requests. It's obvious they aren't going to care too much if at all, but will still spend the money on it regardless.
>>580965904You don't need to do anything but mobile gacha is objectively need for KH4 because the entire plot is based on itThat's a positive and a negative. It's good for fans but bad for nonfans
>>580967196I don’t think she should be overly catered to at the expense of the more hard ores. But I think the plot should be engaging on its own without just feeling like an add-on to the mobile games. KH3 was mainly a sequel to the handheld arc. I think that experiment failed. You gotta put the plot in the mainline games. Not just an epilogue.
>>580967554Every series that starts catering to random trannies instead of hardcore fans becomes slop tho
>>580965904>>580966974They've always been aware casuals dont play non-numbered games, hence the collections, back cover and dark road anime. the entire reason memories are a theme since com is because they knew nobody was gonna play that shit before 2 so they simply gave sora amnesia.
>>580967750You mean mentally ill autistic trannies ARENT the hardcore fans?
>>580967554Yeah that's fair. If you had been following the games, you kind of knew the plot to KH3 by what, Coded? Re: Coded if you're in the west. So if you skipped basically every game in the series to get to 3 you'd be in a bad position because KH really did transition to being a handheld series for the majority of its life span so far. I probably would still be okay with that, just simply because of the lower entry price for handheld systems and the amount of games that came out on each library beyond KH, but I remember the arguments about that way back when.
>>580968267I’d have been okay with it, but the masses definitely were clamoring for KH3. Nomura didn’t even want to jump straight from DDD to 3. He wanted 0.2 to be a full game. He wanted to delve into Xehanorts backstory. But people were tired of the handhelds. So we went straight to 3 and the plot ended up being a train wreck because a lot of the threads they needed to tie up didn’t get set up to end that soon. That’s why you had so much sequel baiting too. I’d like to avoid that kind of thing in the future.
>>580968809I really think we could have benefits from BBS Vol. 2 surviving in some full way either pre or post DDD. As it stands I'm sure tons of its plot threads got thrown in other games but we really would have benefitted from that sort of singular game.
>>580968929I’m convinced that the fall of RG was a major plot thread that was supposed to be told *before* KH3. It was necessary to give closure to the first 8 org members and to make their redemptions satisfying. So, instead of a satisfying resolution we were promised, we get sequel baiting with Subject X. And now you gotta find a place to squeeze that backstory in. Which I’m not even sure they’ll have room for in KH4.
>>580969335Yeah I think you're right. We see the fall from two separate angles in DDD and MoM, I think there's still some sort of story going on there we haven't been told. I'm optimistic that Subject X will tie into it somehow, Lea and Isa's discussion about her in 3 makes it sounds like the fall happened really quickly after she disappeared, it sounds relevant to me.
>>580969495I’m sure it is relevant. But where do you put it now? The trophy list doesn’t even list RG.
>>580970089I wouldn't even have this plot point come up again until KH5. Assuming Sora really is splitting his time between realities, which is still a crazy thought to me, I'd make whatever is going on from his perspective to be the most relevant. Earliest I would look at Subject X would be an RM situation like in KH3. As it stands KH4 should just be continuing the set-up 3, RM, and MoM were doing. I'd rather we don't blow our load all in one game.
>>580970335>RM situationRM?
>>580970826ReMind
>>580970826Re:Mind, I assume.
>>580965904I've been saying theyre going to catch people up in the story because Sora wasn't there for the gacha games before anything was even announced but I think it's pretty much been strongly implied by trophies it will lore dump Missing Link and UX from the names of the Mickey in Scala trophies. I mean he's literally in a gigantic library looking for info come on. KH3 wasnt even that bad they had a recap on YouTube and the menu screen it's just no one clicked it
>>580958672We all live in a Dream Drop Distance. Imagine if a Straight Story got in.
>>580945460I am in a gigantic red onesie and clown shoes right now speak for yourself.
>>580970898>>580970869Thanks for reminding me
The Master of Masters is summoning Kingdom Hearts in Fortnite btw
>>580945460NTA so I am not really arguing but there are a lot of modern flourishes that make it look like highly stylized normal clothes imo. The hoodie, and even the Mickey Mouse shoes and things like chain wallet. And I think it might come from characters he made like Zel and Shion
>>580971143Scala is def going to be lore dumps with cutscenes of key events hopefully. That’s the best way to handle the mobile stuff. Since there’s an optional trophy for collecting all key volumes, not all of the books are mandatory. So I hope they put a lot of stuff from Missing Link in there. It was supposed to address mysteries from the whole series and not just KH4.
>>580971817Were gonna get a xenogears lore dump scene
>>580971798
>>580972071>tfw the reason Nomura has been doing covers of Sora sitting on a chair is because it's Nomura's lore dump chair >tfw you are now remembering they sold official KH chairs
>>580945460>>580971798>>580972089>left is from a 2025 fashion magazine>Right is from a 2005 from fresh fruit photo collection.
I just realized Namine is associated with painting, chairs and lore dumps too.
>>580972561Damn now I wish we had citrus watermelon frosted tips Jet Set Radio colored Sora.
How do you feel about the fact that the chambers had payoff in 0.2?
>>580973604I really never understood why people were obsessed with them when one was just where Ventus was sleeping and the other was essentially a seance room
>>580974154I think a lot of it came from them being introduced in 2FM and people (myself included) watching those cutscenes over and over. This was also pre-BBS so we knew basically nothing about the woman and why her keyblade and armor were in some chamber, or who Xemnas was talking to.
>>580974154It was more than just that. It was a “graveyard” for the failed test subjects that AtW discovered and sealed. It’s why Aquas “remains” were laid to rest there. It’s one of the darkest aspects of the lore.
>>580974397No the chamber of repose was built after.
>>580972561>2005 loud neons, dyed hair>2025 all black like a funeralbleak, except in lived experience those are the other way around.
>>580974505No, only the one room was built after.> The "Chamber of Repose". If you recall, that's where we spent our time researching the darkness that resides within people's hearts. It's a graveyard that was sealed by order of Ansem the Wise. The first thing Xemnas did once he got rid of him was to undo the seal and build a room in the back. Ever since then, he holds himself up in that room when he can, and he talks to someone.
>>580974701Oh I didn't realize it was ALL called the chamber of repose. Thought it was just the room with the chair.
>>580860621KH4 will be 100 hours anon
>>580974793> By night, the muffled sounds of human wails emerged. There was talk of dangerous human experimentation.Yeah it’s the whole basement area including the prison chambers. > The experiments caused the test subjects' hearts to collapse, including those of the most stalwart. How fragile our hearts are! My treatment produced no signs of recovery. I confined those who had completely lost their hearts beneath the castle.Some time later, I went below and was greeted by the strangest sight. Creatures that seemed born of darkness...What are they? Are they truly sentient beings? Could they be the shadows of those who lost their hearts in my experiments?Xehanort locked up the failed subjects before they became Heartless. It’s really dark and it really made me curious who was involved in this. Xehanort and Luxu. But what about Dilan, Even, etc.?
>>580975567>Dilan, Even, etc.?According to the character files, which seem to be pretty canon considering Luxu's one was straight up used in the game, they're also scientists
>>580975567how many cell doors are in there btw? cause I bet it'll be important when subject x is spotlighted
>>580975961Seems like 20
>>580946295Why's she talking to Ness's dad?
>>5809762707 + 13 assuming there aren't more behind the camera
I wonder if KH4 will have like a ranking system, the more missions and side content you do the higher your level and you get better materials or cheaper items or better crafting stuff etcThoughts?
so is it tatooine
Star Wars is cringe
>>580977690Going by the teaser and the leaks, it will contain Tatooine and Endor at the very least.
>>580978729I hope the world form is based on proboscis luke
>if you don't count 100 Acre Woods, and assume every story achievement is a chapter, then Sora returning from Quadratum happens at the midpoint (number 8 out of 16)>probably where Riku enters the picture and they're both able to get out, or establish some sort of permanent link between realities, so that Sora can come back and still do Quadratum contentI'm making some leaps here
>>580981754yeah i'm thinking gameplay reasons will make it so quadratum and unreality will be available at anytime, at least until the game's plot is done and you finish the game
>>580961775This anon is full of darkness
>>580962372Lingering Will only. So you have Terra constantly swinging around this tiny little toy for such a big dude.
>>580966974>Niche handheld games>On GBA, PSP, DS ans 3DS>Handhelds literally everyone had because they all sold like hotcakes>Doesn't matter anyway as they're all in collections which you can get for $15 new on Amazon all the time
>>580972561So...were you trying to make a point or?
>her one chance of being remembered is that Mickey Scala sectionhttps://youtu.be/KP_XkN2v7OM
>>580981754Seems about right. That's when Donald and Goofy should rejoin Sora's party.
>wondered why fans were making a big deal of the Fortnite collab dropping on specifically the 17th>it's the date of the NA release date for KH1Whoops
Question : where did sora pull that "real leader" shit?no, I'm not accusing him of being a hypocrite, he said in dream drop that he didn't care about being chosen, he's happy just to help, so it tracks. I'm just wondering where he pulled this from. Haven't seen a single seen of him ever thinking about it, all the scenes in 3 were building up to the sacrifice he'll make but not the leader stuffalso when master xehanort said that reminded him of an old friend, that can't be eraqus, older eraqus was hellbent on eliminating darkness and wants to lead TVA to do the same, he even went against the prophecy on the board game where light will "expire" when they were young, so eraqus can't be that friend
>>580986362KINGDOM HEARTSFILL MEWITH THE POWER OF THE GRIDDY
>>580986362How is fortnite still triving anyway? the BR craze already died like a year or 2 ago
>>580984913Yeah, in jap that whole line is something like, "Then you aren’t one of the strong either, Xehanort. The truly strong don’t take the world’s fate into their hands. They don’t have that kind of power." There's no underlying arc or belief system in jap he's just telling Xehanort he doesn't have a right to take the fate of the universe into his own hands. That then makes the Eraqus comparison more exact.
>>580986701It monopolized the genre while doubling as another avenue as advertising with its collabs.
>>580986701the craze died cause people just go back to fortnite whenever another one tries and failsyou would think they'd stop trying, but when it comes to this type of product "throwing the shit until it sticks" is the name of the game
>>580986701They did let go 500 or so people this year so hopefully it will die down.
>>580984913He pulled it out of the general beliefs he has as the good boy protagonist.

I got lost in huge threads on the clone wars Star Wars and The Matrix sequels and I realized how fucking miraculous Kingdom Hearts is. >Kingdom Hearts was clearly inspired by the cultural zeitgeist of the late 90s with movies like Dark City and The Matrix to this day. >But why is this even in a Square Enix and Disney game?! Rhetorical question though it's because it's awesome. >Also heavily inspired by Star Wars >But all of Square was inspired by Star Wars and so much of pop culture so that's no surprise >But this was before Disney even bought Star Wars>Star Wars failed at making good prequels but they had some merits but everything after Disney was terrible and worthless >The Matrix fumbled its sequels (except Animatrix was kino and incidentally Square Enix made a short for it or something. The Spirits Within studio.) >Final Fantasy mainline is bad now>Final Fantasy 7 sequels were always controversial >Modern Disney is awful >But somehow Kingdom Hearts is still kino. Always was kino. And I love almost everything from it. >Gacha is shit but has the best story that succeeds more of being a prequel than Star WarsI'm oversimplifying my opinions just for a greentext but this shit is wild to me. Someone said they thought Star Wars got bad because they should have got more mythological, strange and unusual because in the OG trilogy they thought ObiWan was much older than a normal person and it all felt so mysterious to them it clicked. KH is pretty much containing the soul of all the things I loved growing up that went to shit. SOMEHOW. Despite it always being shit on for these exact reasons by other people but they're wrong. Even if you only like the original 2 sequels for KH1 that's a better record than the Matrix
>>580993376I think KH takes a lot from older Disney films, specifically while Walt was still around in terms of its spirit, so it's stayed soulful even when it looks at more modern stuff. That being said I think that whenever disney cockblocks the team things go sideways. Remember how they didn't want summons to be a thing anymore so he worked around it by doing links? I'm curious how the anime will handle being so close to disney.
>>580993665>being said I think that whenever disney cockblocks the team things go sideways.The entire series went sideways immediately because they disallowed worlds from being together, and characters from other movies crossing over (like Aladdin doesn't come with you as a party member.)And they couldnt decide between Mickey or Donald. I forgot who Nomura wanted but then he made Sora. Besides classic Disney it also takes a lot from old and late 90s Squaresoft writing which is why it has so much soul. Lore like light and darkness comes from the first Final Fantasy games and the more complicated lore comes from PS1/PS2 because Sakaguchi suggested Nomura make it more complicated. And then you mix what I just mentioned together and you get shit like how the worlds are split apart so Nomura used a forgotten Satellaview games as a format for the world map which i why they're even icons like that in the first place. AND then you add 90s/2000s Square lore making their borders gummi blocks which are fucking candy lego cartoony ass Disney bullshit made by chipmunks. AND THEN you turn that into extremely kino opening cutscenes with cutting edge graphics where Sora sees falling gummy blocks/shooting stars as premonitions of the worlds being destroyed by darkness meanwhile having Matrix inspired existential thoughts that ONLY NOW 25 years later is getting payoff.I don't know if anyone followed that but yeah
>>580996086>Nomura used a forgotten Satellaview games as a format for the world map which i why they're even icons like that in the first place.Its Dynamitracers and I never save interviews and can never find them again for proof for this shit
>>580996546They fly there in silly space ships
Man build aqua
I also forgot that the Clone Wars were mentioned in a New Hope and didnt realize how similar it is to the Keyblade Wars being mentioned in KH1.
>>580996546in this world sora bumps into honey bee inn cloud
>>580997607Kek if I was Nomura I would troll people who got mad about no FF by adding that Honeybee in guy and also Chadley
>>580997402Odd choice considering there's nothing new to those games.
>>580999558They can't let their marketing train slow down for a second.
KH1 has my favourite world icons.
>>580959389>It's not like KHUX's story is going to be that important.You're a funny guy anon
>>580999796They would be better off giving us a couple minutes of gameplay desu.
>>580999958Deep Jungle is underrated.
>>580986362>it's the version of Kingdom Hearts that formed after the deaths of a million child soldiersAppropriate choice.
>>581000149If there was going to be anything they wanted everyone to keep in mind before playing, there would have been a new cutscene movie released with the collection coming out. Nomura is very good with showing us what we need to know in official, readily available content. That's why we got the Days and Re:Coded movies. Making newfags watch cutscene compliations on Youtube as the only option isn't his style.
They should’ve worked harder to keep Ariel a PoH. She steals the trident, Ursula turns her human then kidnaps her to Hollow Bastion. Sure you lose her as a party member for the final boos, which is likely why they didn’t use her. But still. Alice triggers my OCD.
I haven't replayed a KH game in years with this damn backlog.

Had a dream that Quadratum was the inverse sleeping world to Radiant Garden or Sanfransokyo.
>>581003829>"KHUX story won't be important guys">mobile foretellers>mobile strelitzia>mobile xehanort>mobile vali>Master of MastersYeah Im sure KHUX will be of no importance whatsoever especially with the characters from said game being in KH4.It's like saying Chain of Memories isn't important for KH2.
>>581014408>mobile xehanort>he rides around a scooter for the entire game
i read some people say that the leak hit them even if they didn't seek it out, but if i weren't here and/or didn't go look it up myself i would've never seen the leaked world list. Like even checking now the twitter posts of both fortnite and the KH proper account, i don't see anyone talking about leaks, so idk
>>581014408Chain of Memories is more important to play for KH3 than KH2 honestly.But it holds true that if KHUX's story was important to know going into KH4 that they would be making sure you could access the story in some form instead of leaving it as a delisted gacha game. As it is, the only stuff they might want you to know is information from Back Cover but even then with KH4 is meant to be a real jumping on point this time so they're going to be reintroducing most things. They aren't making a high budget game only for people who played a delisted mobile game.
>>581016629But they will make a game for people that both played and didn't play KHUX. I can't imagine it not being important when they recently revealed they had a KHUX lore aid available to make sure they get KHUX shit right.
If Disney still had Tarzan's rights, in what games would Deep Jungle return?
>>581017392COM for sure. Maybe 2. I don't think it would be in Days but maybe Re: Coded. UX and DR maybe.
>>581015847Surprised how few people are talking about Kara. You’d think the Master being connected to Vanitas/Sora/some combination of the two would be making waves.
>>581018448It's Nameless star.
>>581017240I'm pretty sure it was Kingdom Hearts lore in general. It's not that nothing will matter from KHUX, but that I doubt KH4 is going to be going very much in depth about most of it. It'll probably give more information about the foretellers and MoM which KHUX didn't really touch on much. You have dead keyblade wielders in Quadratum but I doubt they're really going to go in depth about cases Vali and he'll just be "a wielder who crossed over" rather than giving his full bio. Even Strelitzia went behind the scenes in KHUX after her death so most of her stuff will be new in KH4.
>>581015847People are liars. Our entire lives are online. Recommended vids, podcasts, random screenshots posted literally anywhere. Thumbnails. It will hit you no matter what, especially since there's still a year and some change till anyone can play the game. >>581018448I think that's mostly not talked about because not many people looked at the japanese achievements, let alone translated them.
>>581019172Nah her name was already leaked in KH3 files
>>581019230Agree. You don’t need to recap everything. Plus I think the hardcore fandom really overestimates just how much the average casual would really care about the minutiae of the UX plot.
I think UX and whatever DR stuff gets explained will be seen as a huge plot beat by people who didn't play UX and as normal info to those who did. I imagine if they touch on whether Strelitzia actually herself or a data-copy will be something that's the huge moment for her to those who played UX, that's how I'd handle this if I cared about bringing casuals up to speed.
Is Kingdom Hearts even ever really confirmed to be real or is it just a concept? It thought all the Kingdom Hearts we saw were fakes or artificial ones?
>>581022227Kingdom Hearts is an adjective. Any sufficient gathering of hearts gains the qualities of a Kingdom Hearts, whether that's the Kingdom Hearts made out of a bunch of stolen world hearts in 1, a Kingdom Hearts made out of stolen human hearts in 2, or a Kingdom Hearts made out of a bunch of child soldiers in BBS.That said, the one in 3 was as close to the real deal as it gets.
>>581022227The one in KH3 was real. 1s and 2s were artificial. I think BBS's was the real one too? Maybe it was also artificial, but I don't think so.
>>581018448I'm not surprised. There's a portion of the fanbase that only cares about the gameplay or/and disney element.
>>581022003The average casual is on twitch streaming these games. Thousands of them, and then they all upload highlights of them going "uhh what's happening who is this uhhh this game is sooo confusing". Happened during KG3 ans 4 isn't even out yet and the floodgates have already opened.
>>581022227>>581022483The one in 3 was the only real, complete KH. The one in BBS was real but summoned incorrectly and incomplete.
>>581022894>The one in BBS was real but summoned incorrectly and incompleteI thought 0.2's opening was trying to imply it's artificial. https://youtu.be/7S2vwyRXrPg?list=PLPCJnwphQDQf6XFSaG5D4QDL7X8suLNNj
>>581023003Actually fuck me, I'm retarded. Xehanort Report VII proves me wrong I think.
I think about Kingdom Hearts at least once every 30 minutes for the past 20 years. I probably have autism or something.
>>581022727Yeah, my sister was one of them. I had quite a bit of second hand embarrassment explaining Xion to her and why Ventus looks like Roxas or why there were three Riku’s.
>Kingdom Hearts (working title), an original anime series inspired by the globally beloved video game franchise, has been greenlit for Disney Channel and Disney+. Developed in partnership with video game creator Tetsuya Nomura and the creative team at SQUARE ENIX, the series reimagines the iconic adventure with a brand-new story that will expand on the universe of Kingdom Hearts while celebrating the characters that have captured the hearts of millions of fans around the world. It can’t just be about the upperclassmen then. I wouldn’t say those characters captured the hearts of millions.
>>581022727What's strange about it?People who play for the Disney or Gameplay probably have no interest in the story.Just like the hardcore KH fans don't care might not care about Disney or Gameplay and are just here for the story and lore.Y'all need to realize that there's diferent types of KH players and just let people be.
Just found out my union x account is gone...
>>581023763Hey, who knows how many heartless they killed, it could be millions.
>>581023876>Y'all need to realize that there's diferent types of KH players and just let people beNo, they could be enjoying it in the wrong way and for the wrong reasons.
>>581024046Who tf cares honestly.Some people have fun killing heartless wth woody and buzz, others have fun doing lv1 critial while others have fun theorizing about the story.They're all diferent shades of KH fans, their hearts are connected.
>>581024574NTA but the post you replied to seems like a joke or at least deeply ironic.
>>581023003No no it's definitely real, the issue is Xehanort thought all he needed was one pure light clashing with one pure darkness. He even talks about this in DDD.
>>581023961Touché.
>>581024574Speedrunners are bonafide Heartless
>>581023220You probably do.Not a bad thing, tho.
>>581023220You and be both anon. It's a part of my daily life. It's my favorite thing of all time. I platted the PS3 collections, the PS4 collections, and i'll plat the PS5 collection.
I'm starting to think the Keyblade War in UX wasn't so unrealistic, seeing how divided the fanbase is.
>>581023907They're all gone anonWe all canonically diedWe're dream eaters now
What do you think Nomura sees in it? Yeah it's popular, but seeing the other world choices makes it seem there's something else involved.
>>581026104This the Disney pick
>>581026104Maybe the predator/prey theme plants the seeds for the idea of light and darkness coexisting?
>>581026104To me it seems like they pick worlds just because, without a specific reason.
>>581024574yeah but you can't be a true keyblade master if you aren't a fan of gameplay, story, disney, and final fantasy. a master of masters even likes atlantica, command board, coded, and mobile games, but he's a villain so don't listen to him.
>>581027017>MoM >Evil
>>581024574>Who tf cares honestlynon-goyim, so it's understandable that you don't get it.
>>581023876>People who play for the Disney or Gameplay probably have no interest in the storyI can't even comprehend playing any rpg and not playing for story, you'd have to be deeply cattle brained to do something like this.
time to watch the everglow playlist for a lore refresher
My heart must be filled with darkness because Atlantica is my fav world in KH1.
>>581027783Staffchads recognize its greatness.
>>581027783That goes to show you're one of the best there is
>>581027783>Deep Jungle in AMy man
>>581027783Its good in 1.
>>581027552Just beat SMTV Vengeance and I promise you I couldn’t care less about the story bc it sucked. I prefer if there’s a good story, but sadly it’s kinda uncommon. I do enjoy KH’s story although 3 was clearly rushed.
>>581027552Believe it or not, some people do not care about stories in videogames, JRPGs included.Ive seen people playing FF12 and KH2FM and just skipping everything and wasn't a replay.

KH2: Port RoyalBBS: Deep SpaceDDD: La Cite Des ClochesKH3: Toy Box>>581027783I'll post my favourite worlds of the other games.
you can't really rank re com worlds by level design so I'm ranking them by how much I enjoyed their world plots.
>>581031192Should we call RECOM levels floors or worlds?
>>581031543A matter of perspective
Is Wonderland a real world in the KH universe?In the alice movies is suposed to be Alice's dreams, not a real place.
>>581031543I think floors would probably be more accurate.
>>581031765Alice believed in her dream and dived in
>>581031765She gets kidnapped and taken to Hollow Bastion. Pretty real.
>>581030854Making the movie theme the main battle theme for Pirates was genius and I'm sad they didnt reuse it for KH3.
>>581031765The first world we go to is technically Sora dreaming too. The dive to heart. Was that real... or not...?
>>581022894I think the kingdom hearts in one was real as well and maybe the one in Union X too.How I understood it went like this.>during union X kh is just out in the open in the realm of light.>keyblade war happens world falls into darkness and we get seperated tiny worlds.>kingdom hearts is now in the depths of the realm of darkness>bbs master xehanort tries to summon kingdom hearts back to the realm of light with x-blade, but it fails due to the X-blade being made with a shoddy ritual.>kh1 ansem uses heartless to destroy worlds and tear a rift open between realm of darkness and realm of light to go to kingdom hearts in the depths of the RoD directly>xemnas creates his own kingdom hearts with hookers and black jack>in kh3 master xehanort properly does the ritual to create the X-blade and summons kingdom hearts back to the RoL and wields its power
I miss Scherzo Di Notte.
>>581033692I miss all the Missing-Link music we will never get to hear.
>>581032657Yeah that really disappointed me in KH3. And then neither of them appeared in Melody of Memory.
>>581031765her dream grew a heart, but since it was a place instead of a person it got a keyhole.
>>581031765alice is from unreality and reached the realm of light through her dreams.
While we're on this subject Neverland wasn't real in the movie either, it was kind if implied it was just the kids imagination and the dad was Hook. Unless I'm completely misremembering it.
Nothing is real because they're all stories being recounted to us from a book.
>>581035220If it was all make believe which one had the idea of hot indian women?
>try to take a break from KH to have the time pass faster>genuinely can't do itHaha fuck
>>581035412time for your series replay anon.
For the first time ever, I actually beat Larxene in Re:CoM. God I fucking hate the combat mechanics in this game.
Is the X-Blade ever going to show up again? For being the "utlimate keyblade", it feels like this plot point will only ever be used for KH3 and then never again
>>581035536post your deck.
>>581035651Xehanort used it in battle and still lostAll it's good for is summoning Kingdom Hearts
>>581035220>the dad was HookThey had the same voice actor. Symbolism.
>>581035651I feel like it served its purpose for being a beacon to summon the foretellers back.
>>581035658how
>>581035897Gnarled old hands or something
>>581035651the new 7 hearts will be used to make this thing (somehow) because it looks rad. which vanitas will wield for color coordination.
>>581036030Take screenshots and go into paint I guess. I'm playing with a mod so I got access to diamond dust early but this is my ice deck. Getting the reward from a calm bounty was one thing, but the chance for getting another out of a leaf pack is like 1% so I got lucky with a second one. I'm only on the fifth floor as of right now.
Did the double handle keyblade in DDD ever get a name
>>581036394And Sora can wield the old one. The X-Blade of Light and the X-Blade of Darkness
>>581035983Oh. Is that how the Foretellers came back? I was never too clear on that.
>>581035658>>581036581
>>581037141combo finish is pretty strong. In all honesty I'm not big on physical decks, I try and transition to magic decks as soon as I can since re: com rewards you a lot with hitting elemental weaknesses. Larxene isn't a good example but you can bind her and stun her pretty consistently. In a vanilla game you can't get bind before the first boss but you can get stun impact.
>>581036394>>581036756In Remind the Xblade has all 3 of those in it during transformations. Well not really the dark keyblade thing but its teeth are on it as a reference. The (a?) KK and KK D pop out of it though.I feel like if MoM has a Kingdom Heart plan he'll use it. Or maybe Nomura will go even further back in time and we will see the people who were alive when it was made or something
>>581037850I can't stand the fact she was able to break my cards and stun lock me and I could do nothing about it.
>>581036592Combined Keyblade? >>581036954I thought Luxu summoned them from unreality not sure how the Xblade was involved. Not that anon though
>>581036954>>581038061I'm just going off the secret report Luxu wrote.
>>581038061It was sorta like how Maleficent came back, right? Luxu thought of them and they used that
>>581038239So what I’m gathering is…Xigbar-Luxu needed the old coot’s Keyblade War to summon Kingdom Hearts. He needed it because it was the way that MoM and the Foretellers can return.
>>581038938Right, though we don't know why Luxu was tasked with passing down his keyblade. Also we don't know how long it is between ML and DR, which I think may matter.
>>581038938Gula attempted to summon Kingdom Hearts purely so he could make the MoM return, by his own words.
>>581036592The Gayblade?
>>581039080>though we don't know why Luxu was tasked with passing down his keybladeWe do, though. It was so MoM could witness everything that would ever come to pass so he could write down a vague account of it all. Did you fall asleep at every cutscene in 3's KBG?
>>581037980Yeah it's a war against her early in the game, I like to have space between bosses which is why I go magic. I think you could get a lot out of sleight decks but I don't care for them, in the early game at least.
>>581040615There's a wider context we still don't know about, per the KH3 ultimania.
>>581036592Combined Keyblade, though I don't think it's an actual keyblade any of them can weild whenever. More like a team attack Sora and Riku developed during the fuckery in TWTNW in DDD.
>>581038938No, Luxu's task was to continue on into the future until a "dark seeker" would appear to enact the Keyblade War and summon Kingdom Hearts. After this happens, and Xehanort was defeated and the No Name keyblade left ownerless he reclaimed it, got somehow found the black box and summoned the Foretellers back to him, as per his role. He did not use KH to summon them back.
Someday we'll get those worlds in the image i just posted, r-right?> Bonus points if you are actually able to tell which movies are the worlds from.
>>581045526Chicken LittleMeet the RobinsonsPrincess and the FrogIncredibles?SpringfieldWall-EIdk, Raya?Ice Age or Star Wars
Just 3 days till we get the KH4 All Worlds Trailer to make up for the leak
>>581046468>SpringfieldWe're really hellbent on brute forcing this garbage aren't we?
List of people that have summon Kingdom Heart:>Ansem Seeker of Darkness >Xemnas>Master Xehanort>Foreteller Gula>John Fortnite
>>581046468Correct.The Last one is Ice Age.>>581047403I think it could be fun.
>>581038239>He will return...>MoM is still in Quadratum >MoM didnt come back with Foretellers>Sora is in Quadratum but will return according to trophies I've got a bad feeling about this.
>>581022483The way the lore words it makes it sound like KH was the fantasy version of the prebigbang explosion (of light) that started our universe. Darkness is like entropy/heatdeath.
So...will they explain why Port Royal is in the realm of light and not in unreality? Or both "realities" can have cartoony and live action worlds? and it doesn't really matter?
>>581053254All Disney worlds are in KH Reality. Despite Sora being stuck in UR he'll still travel to these worlds in a special way.
Why were SDG able to walk from end of the world to CO and also why did the grey path transition to grassy crossroads and then back to grey void? how did riku separate from ansem and teleport to inside the door? and why would kairi teleport from traverse town to destiny islands if she is from RG? and why didn't jiminy and donald/goofy teleport to their worlds? why did kingdom hearts is light happen if it was actually the door to darkness? and when did mickey change into his classic fit after losing his shirt, I can tell those are different pants? why was KKD floating there waiting for a user when masters defender and the ones in KBG were static? why isn't one of the kingdom keys on the xblade the KKD? why do we keep returning to KBG? also why did the keyblade of heart work on sora and maleficent when it was incomplete? and how did the princesses hearts open the final door when they were returning to their bodies? why didn't ven's heart return to his body instead of creating roxas for no reason? why did roxas spawn in twilight town? why are merlin and pete able to time travel at will? where did riku get soul eater or destiny's embrace? why did the LW portal appear in mickey's castle? why is namine?
>>581055634About LW...well...Mickey went to Keyblade Graveyard....in BBS.And he's got a connection with Aqua.Otherwise, idk.
If they don't show any gameplay in the new trailer, it'd be really funny
>>580849846Replaying KH2 and not skipping any cutscenes. Man, Land of Dragons really might be the worst world in the series.
>>581044113No his task was just to pass on the keyblade. He wasn't supposed to body jump across multiple generations. He was the real traitor. Like MoM knew he would do it and planned on it but it wasn't what he was "supposed" to do
>>581045526>Meet the robinsonsI can't begin to gush over how fucking kino that would be
>>581060365I'm personally indifferent to it but I was certain it was soft confirmed when the ML cancellation screenshots had that heartless that looked like the hat. oh well.
>>581055634Wish I knew myself, it's kind of odd.Light shenanigansLight shenanigansLight shenanigansMickey ShenanigansKKD appeared when the KK appeared in the realm of light. The Master's defender is a very special blade, possibly the light realm counterpart of No Name, considering it's been partnered with it all this time since Odin's time owning them both.The ones in the KBG are lifeless because their owners are deadThe KK is the keyblade of the realm of light, also someone else has mentioned it but it also ties into old catholicism symbolism or something along those linesThe KBG is where the very first war was fought. Thousands of lives lost in an instant for one singular purpose.Keyblade of Heart was meant to open Kingdom Hearts, but without Kairi's heart it was incomplete. It still possessed unbelievable power including the ability to unlock hearts. The final door was opened when the princesses of heart used their power, Kairi included.Ven's heart was completely light with no trace of darkness which means no darkness can invade it, similar to a princess of heart in a way. That means no nobody or heartless was created in his splintering of Ven and Van.Light shenanigansMagic shenanigansSoul Eater is a medium made by maleficient to summon a proxy keyblade before getting his real one (way to the dawn), Destiny's Embrace is another he probably got from Merlin with Kairi's good luck charm attached.I don't knowShe's extremely special;Namine is, effectively, Kairi's nobody but as a princess of heart, she DEFINITELY shouldn't exist. She exists because of Sora and has direct influence over his memories, made even more powerful by her presence in CO.I hope that answers a lot of questions. Sorry if it raises more.
>>581027890Staffchads think they have their whole life ahead of them, no you don't the Giant Ursula fight is coming.
>>581061474But anon, that was easy as piss with the extra MP from going +staff -ShieldThe fucking Dragon Maleficent boss is kicking my balls to paste though
>>581061141>merlinI meant Yen Sid, also probably Diz too.
>>581061610How do you actually leverage the mp for that fight without stock piling mass elixirs and ethers for stop spam that would make it piss easy for any build
>>581062093..People use elixirs? I haven't used a single one because they're agony to farm resources to mass produce.
>>581062192You can farm them from defenders and if you're gunning for goofy's defender you're not gonna be short on elixirs
>>581062338Fuck. That's gonna be a process if I wanna farm them before I try and cheese Dragon. Alternatively I just keep playing (and absolutely hating) Re:Com. Finally made it to floor 7 after all these years.
>>581063017Make sure you have aerora if you haven't already and gravity turbo shits on defenders. No advice for chain of memories, they're both mediocre games that some people like because they're very exploitable if you dont care about fun.
>>581063316Don't have Aerora yet. It's a colli reward if I recall so I should just go do those.
>>581063404Yes and No, you get it from the yellow trinity in neverland hold but you have to do herc cup to get yellow trinity.
>>581063589What happens if you finish the game without ever sealing the keyhole in Olympus anyway?Is that the only missable one in the whole series?
>>581061141This did clear up some of the real questions I sprinkled in that shitpost by answering genuinely so thank you for for your service. >Wish I knew myself, it's kind of odd.Solidarity on the one I initially intended to bring up but then thought of more and decided to post cringe.>Soul Eater is a medium made by maleficient to summon a proxy keyblade before getting his real onedo you have a source for this one?>>581056386I guess none of us know. it remains a mystery so it must be important to the future of the series.
>>581063918>>Soul Eater is a medium made by maleficient to summon a proxy keyblade before getting his real one>do you have a source for this one?I believe it's in an ultimania. But I don't know the specifics. Honestly if you google it, you'd probably find the answer.

What's the difference betweent the blue kingdom hearts that's been exclusive to birth by sleep vs the yellow one we've seen through the other games?
>>581068523Blue one is the true Kingdom Hearts summoned via X-bladeYellows are the synthetic ones created through different means.
What the fuck, that's from einhander
>>581069756Man going back to play 1 again really makes you miss the gummi ship building in 3. It's so much fucking better.
>>581069756Make sure you use Endymion when you approach the big vortex. You'll have fun.
>>581069756And people said 3 didn't have Square characters
>>581069756KINOOOOO
This is definitely them testing out the waters for quadratumHope they improve upon it in 4
>>581069903I think KH1 ruined the reputation of Gummi ships in general forever. Which is a shame since the KH2 levels are good, and KH3's open gummi exploration was enjoyable.
>>580981754The footage makes it seem like Sora is surprised to see Riku arrive, probably before he leaves. Also, Donald and Goofy aren't there
>>581070502I don't get the hate for SF nglIt's a pretty alright worldIdk what people were expecting from a city
Shouldn't Combo boost, Air combo boost and Magic Galvanizer just be combined into one ability?You could argue about magic being different but ground and air combos are not really any different in KH3What gives? This is kinda stupid ngl
Imagine the surprise of any new 'fans' of the series to discover Odin was a keyblade master.
>>581026104>What do you think Nomura sees in [The most successful animated movie ever made]?RetardGOD...
>>581073835oh wow, it's going to be the ariendelle of kh4 huh
>3 combo finishers>the only good one is the dlc oneWhat the fuck were they smoking
>>581075225It'll probably be an original story between 1 and 2, or post-2.
>>581071184Me neither. It's decently fun, the story is a sequel to the movie, and GoGo has a nice ass.
kek what the fuck
Sanfran was my favorite in 3 partially because I really did like Big Hero 6 as a super hero movie, partially because I liked Hiro and Baymax and mostly because I loved the opportunity to free run everywhere and zip around everywhere. The flowmotion quickstep is the best thing in the game and I hope it's in 4 with some upgrades.
>>581077027It's a grapple now but it looks like there are more things you can use it on
>>581077027>>581077105they're going to massively nerf airstepthat shit is brokeninstead of teleporting, sora will grapple to the airstep points/enemies in 4probably
>>581076038Goofy knows what ya hyucking did
>>581075225People worry about this as though Pride Lands in KH2 was amazing.
At the very least the guy who made Zootopia knows what Kingdom Hearts is so I'm hoping we can get a normal world with original plot instead of rehashing a 10 year old movie
>>581073835>Nomura decided on a world in 2022 based on its sequel's success in 2025Woah...
Wait how the fuck is Jiminy with Sora in the layer of sleeping worlds of the final world?
>>581081003He's dead too.
No one is going to question how Sora managed to summon a hundred plus dead keyblades huh
>>581081636light
>>581081636Ephemer and his friends fought for Sora.
>>581077251I'd prefer they not nerf it, but the basis for this already exists in Twin Yo-yos gap closer. Hopefully it's faster than that, but I won't get my hopes up. May not be in the game beyond the build commands we've already seen from KK.
Since it's press R2 to skate on things now will it be R2 to grapple hook instead of shotlock
>>581081003Someone had to kill him or we wouldnt be able to 100% our cheevos
>>581076813>the KH fandom in 2002 after watching Deep Dive for the first time
>>581069756Einhandchad
>>581055634>Why were SDG able to walk from end of the world to COMy headcanon is the grassy crossroads we see them on in the ending and KH2 opening scenes is actually land of Departure further away from Castle Oblivion and less spoopy but not that far away. Basically they fell to the real inbetween.
>>581063017You shouldn't play games you hate anon, it makes your opinion on them worthless and it's a waste of your time if you don't like something.

>>581086247Shut the fuck up retard. What a dumb fucking comment.
>>581071184To be honest, when the BH6 world was anounced way back in 2015 i had no idea how it could work.
>>581087023You're seething but I'm right.
>see kairi die>see mickey and riku job>seee kingdomhearts descend>"we gotta help sora">Donald and Goofy are something else
>>581088082The whole endgame in 3 is top tier. I really like this part especially.
>>581088082RIDE OR DIE BABY
>>5810556341. After the worlds started piecing back together after the defeat of Ansem and closing of Kingdom Hearts, SDG stayed behind to continue looking for Mickey and Riku. They got shuffled into the Realm Between and landed on the outskirts of Land of Departure, at that point known as Castle Oblivion.2. Ansem expelled Riku from his new form shortly after that scene in HB where Riku is holding him back. He cast him into the realm of Darkness where he met Mickey, and Mickey had a chat with him in this cutscene added to Final Mixhttps://youtu.be/thwKomyWCBg?si=MfIBBMicbMXJ_MfL3.Two reasons. She originally wasn't from RG in the story, and KH probably recognizes that DI is her home by now as she's been there and taken care of by a family for many years. Plus she wasn't in Traverse Town at the time ot everything going back. She was on a patch of DI land from the End of The World.4. Donald, Goofy and Jiminy decided to stay with Sora. Plus they weren't in Traverse Town like above.5. The original true KH was lost to darkness during the original Keyblade War that caused so many deaths and for The World to seperate into countless mini worlds. At this point in the story KH resides within the Realm of Darkness, which can be entered via the Door to Darkness. This only applies to artificial Kingdom Hearts.6. Canonically speaking it's been changed to Mickey wearing his KH pants for that scene. It's just silly stuff that happened in 0.2 to explain his "classic" look in KH1.7. Kingdom Key D is a keyblade of darkness. A keyblade of darkness can only be forged if a keyblade of light manifests at the same time a world is falling to darkness. Kingdom Key D is currently the only confirmed keyblade of darkness in the series.8. There's no in-game explanation for why the X-Blade is made of two Kingdom keys. The characters never comment on it so it's probably a design element that uses the most well known keyblade design for the players instead of the story.

>>581088779>A keyblade of darkness can only be forged if a keyblade of light manifests at the same time a world is falling to darknessAre the requirements that strict? I thought a mirror of a keyblade of light automatically appears in the realm of darkness. Though I guess we may not actually know for sure. Since Xehanort wrote about them in BBS I assume that keyblades of darkness have been encountered before but that's just guess work on my part.

>bogged
>>581089406>>581089080
>>581089406OH NO NO NO
they all got the fake keychains, just another confirmation that it had nothing to do with the mickey symbol
>>581089080Temu Heartless
The most contrarian, r/kingdomhearts regular is going to say they look better in Fortnite than in KH3.
>>581089080>>581089406I think the models look like absolute ass.
I fucking hate this so so much.
>>581089476Kairi's face is the only one that looks like her, specifically from 0.2 (fixed) and 3
>>581055634>>5810887799. Keyblade Graveyard is an important place in the lore of KH so lots of stuff happens there.10. Because it was made of every single princess except Kairi's, so you can imagine it would be pretty damn powerful already at that point. 11. I think you're having a fundamental misunderstanding of the story and cutscenes for this one.12. Ven's heart inside Sora's works a bit differently. He made a very strong and powerful promise to protect it. Also, remember Ven was so well hidden that even his heart probably couldn't return to him. 13. Nobodies are always born somewhere in the Realm of Between. Twilight Town is located in this realm.14. Pete can't time travel at will. He used the unique Cornerstone powers at Disney Castle. It works differently, like how Yen Sid's magic for time traveling works differently too. 15. Riku got Soul Eater as sort of a consolation prize for not receiving the keyblade and giving into the darkness instead. The theory on Destiny's Embrace is that Kairi had her Dive to the Heart during that segment, and dropped her Keyblade due to shock or surprise and Riku simply handed it back to her. Or, he reached into her heart to forge it for her. After being in darkness so long he could probably do that. 16. Gameplay reasons. Just to be a fun secret to find in a place you wouldn't expect it. 17. Namine is special because she was a nobody born when Sora turned himself into a Heartless to let Kairi's heart out that he had been housing. Kairi being a princess of Heart cannot be turned into a Heartless, so what Sora did is the only way Kairi's nobody could have been born. But her birth is very special and her blonde hair could have even possibly been influenced by Ventus' heart.Hope all that helps.
>>581089673fortnite skins always look much better in game
>>581089669This is what Kingdom Hearts 3 should have been...
>>581089080kino...
>>581089080as you may notice, he KH logo only says "Disney", meaning SE had no input on this. It's on par with KH merchandise not specifically made by SE, it always only has Disney on it, and even here there's no SE mention anywhere, even in the copyrights babble
>>581089823>2K upvotes on reddit in hours
>>581089669>>581089823You joke but Kingdom Hearts Insider had a twenty page thread about 0.2 being a better game than 3, when it's essentially a prologue to 3 itself so I've seen statements you people wouldn't believe.
>>581059172That's not true. Brush up on your mobile game lore. MoM specifically told him to carry on until the fabled dark seeker arrived.
>>581089748Her chest should be a bit bigger, but yeah she definitely looks the best out of the 4. Surprised they don't have a second style for them all to be in. Also noticed in the trailer they gave her pink shorts under her dress. >>581089669Not wrong.
Damn, they're all in their kh2 fitsI guess 3 outfits just weren't good enough
>>581090238does fortnite not have multiple outfits? I don't know how customization works in this game.
>>581090185>Also noticed in the trailer they gave her pink shorts under her dress.makes sense given characters stand as if they have something up their ass>>581090238ah yes, the high standards of fortnite
>>581081636He didn't do it bro, it was the SOUL.
Roxas alone is going to sell that pack. Kairi... well, at least there's a girl rep I would've chosen Aqua instead
I still don't know what it even means to have kingdom hearts in fortniteIs it a new game mode? A new style of mechanics? Or is it just a skin for character and pickaxeIs sora going to take a note out of the undead pirate book and start blasting with real guns?
>Smash>FortniteWhat's even next? Or is that basically it?
>>581089121Yes, I did some backup research to make sure I remembered correctly. That would explain why there's only one so far. It's a very rare occurrence.
>>581089080honestly from the first things that came out last month i felt like Sora was just gonna be a random skin, like some of the others they also made but had basically no spotlight. Didn't expect them to make it a full thingalso yeah with these they can also go ham with alternate skins, Sora and Riku getting the various KH outfits, Kairi with the KH3 outfit and Roxas with this normal clothes outfit (or even a Ventus skin?)>>581090686i feel like they can also do another batch, now i don't know much about how it works but stuff like Dragon Ball happened two times and the second time it had 4 new characters>>581090871i think the keyblade is gonna be a weapon you can find while playing, like recently they had the mega man blaster or sonic shoes. You just find them alongside the other guns and shitbut also yes, it's gonna be pic related
Why isn't the Xblade appearing in 3 when Ventus and Vanitas are fighting in the Land Of Departure?
>>581090871skins + complementsAlso current season is videogame themed, so probably some kind of gimmick weapon (like the current Megaman buster) and maybe the characters as NPC in the map.
>>581090921lego kingdom hearts, also in fortnite
>>581091232Wrong stage
>>581090686Fuck you
>>581091232They didn't merge like in BBS.
>>581091232>>581091395They also didn't merge together.
>>581091232Seems like Xehanort had to summon Kingdom Hearts with a ritual just so they could forge the X-blade as an additional component for after? Frankly it is weird that Ven and Van didn't forge it when they fought in Bad Lands.
>>581091232Considering all the clashes between light and darkness that HAVEN'T forged the X-blade (i.e. just about all of them), i'm willing to be that you can only do it at the keyblade graveyard for some reason.
>>581091483Just speaking the truth. If you want a woman to represent this series, it's her.>athletic>sexy>mentally 29 while physically 19>master>trauma>mommyShe's got it all.
>>581090686No... Kairi is going to probably be the second best selling character cause of 3 factors>1. People will buy the skin to get the model of her to make porn out of her like every other female character. >2. She is the man love interest (fujos be damned) of Sora and the entire story of KH was built upon there relationship. >3. With Hayden Panettiere passing people are going to buy Kairi's skin as a memento/ a way to honor her and remember her since that was the character she voiced. It's happening before with many other pieces of media when someone passes, and it'll probably happen with Kairi to.
>>581091705I usually despise people that say shit like "Oh yeah look at those panties" or more likely "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY REMOVED HER PANTY SHOT" but god I want to see Aqua without spats on. Just the implication that she's bottomless under that.
>>581091705>mentally 29 while physically 19anon forgot the 10 years in the realm of darkness were more like 10 minutes
>>581091705Can we go back to this style
>>581091705Nah fuck you
>>581081636He summoned his friends from when he was Player.
Aqua is objectively the best foid in the franchise and she doesn't really have competition. Everyone else is a side character with 2 seconds of screen time
>>581091705I hope Aqua specifically continues to eat shit for being a self-righteous zealot
>>581092625> Everyone else is a side character with 2 seconds of screen timeOr an offshoot of Kairi.
>>581092625I like how her titties jiggle!!!
Fuck I wanna hotglue an aqua figurine
Fingers crossed for Elrena screentime in IV
>>581089961And there are still people that say Disney doesnt completely own the series
>>581094347She is 100% appearing along with every single other mobile gacha character
>>581091847>3. With Hayden Panettiere passing people are going to buy Kairi's skin as a memento/ a way to honor her and remember her since that was the character she voiced.NTA but... I didn't even consider that. She has fans from Until Dawn, Heroes, Scream and many other projects over the years she's been apart of that will probably want to pay respects to her. So they may very well pick up the skin. I remember the day Peter Cullen passed, I couldn't tell you how many Optimus Primes I ran into playing Fortnite. Myself included. I guess everyone has there own way of remembering the dead and paying tribute. >>581091705If this does well enough we will probably be giving a second wave luke with other series like Dragon Ball. And for the second wave I can see us getting Axel, Xion, Aqua and a Xehanort. Probably either Terranort or Young Xehanort to go with KH4 promotion. >>581093013Her titties could only jiggle in the psp version of BBS. They got rid of them in all re-releases of the games cause of some Faggot in the ESRB.
>japanese voice acting finished, english 60-70% done (in August)>game is playable to the point where testers can test achievements>all this anniversary marketing>LATE 2027God damn this bitch ass worldI blame FF7 and GTA6
That fornite reel emulating kh2 opening is kino. Kh2 was really something else.
>>580884391I don't have any friends to get into this with but I'm still gonna try and open my wallet.
>>581090403>KH2 Kairi>pink spats#notmykairi#bringbackpanties
>>580884391I was going to try Fortnite out finally because I assumed they'd make getting at least one skin relatively easy for newcomers but it seems like you have to play Fortnite for a long time to get enough in-game currency for a single character without paying, so I'm out.
>>581096467honestly i'd rather wait and get a game that works right off the bat instead of one that needs a gorillion more patches and fixes. Around this time last year is when i first played baldur's gate 3 because of thissucks knowing that a basically complete build of the game already exists, but a year will be gone before you know it sadly
>>581100082Yeah except the game is already working and they can release it tonight but they are not doing that because FF7 Revelation
>>581099941You play Fornite for the game itself, the collabs are just bait.
>>581091001So is Vanitas the literal darkness human wielding a keyblade of light? That's silly
>>581102221I assumed half of the point at this stage was all of the different characters you can play as so it'd be throwing currency to new players at least.
>>581081636I read a theory once that it was because of the bond he made with the dream eaters or something along those lines. I dunno if it makes perfect sense, but I like it either way.
>>581094347>Fingers crossed for Elrena screentime in IVI just hope they have a solid plan for side characters arcs this time.
>>581102968Well, it makes sense when you realize the "light" is about realm of light, where 99% of things happen. Vanitas, in his current form, was created in the realm of light.
>>581089080>that running animation Eww what happened there? Why it looks so bad?
>>581109668Fortnite has to share the same skeleton animation for all characters that's why small characters like Bart Simpson or the south park kids are piloting weird humanoid mechas
>>581110529ngl that's lame
>>581089080Cay you play as hooded Roxas? I really don't like how they look like but I'm willing to try fornite for a couple of days if I can play as hooded Roxas
>>581110762>Cay you play as hooded Roxas?we don't know yet
New thread >>581110920>>581110920>>581110920
>>581102968keyblades are distinguished by which realm they're received in, not in who's carrying them.
>>581102968No, Vanitas is similar to Roxas in the sense they both can weild keyblades because of who they come from.
