>12 years into production >none of the Disney characters and worlds with extremely huge demands (chernabog, gargoyles, oswald, treasure planet, moana & maui etc) even appear >instead we get gayass frozen, gayass monster inc no one asked for and hercules world for the bazillionth time
I was dissapointed even before the game was realeased
why do they insist on having hercules over and over again? are they legally obliged to do it or something ? so Disney gets to keep the copyrights on greek mythology ?
Jack Cox
Titans were best part of first one and you need an arena for secret bosses
Landon Sullivan
who are the secret bosses in kh3?
Kayden Green
It's a secret
Josiah Nelson
Barry also trolls Yea Forums I see
Landon Campbell
Poor guy is on life support after not just Kh3 but DMC5 too blow his darling ff15 out of the water
I think Moana came a bit too late to be included. Maybe in the next game, whenever that happens.
Jonathan Ortiz
They killed him again in dream drop distance too. And nomura asked about Oswald but Disney said no
Kevin Richardson
>treasure planet >huge demand Didn't that movie flop?
Jackson Lewis
1.) Final Fantasy Characters were super important to the Hercules World (lel) 2.) James Woods 3.) The story called for Sora to restore his power. Herc lost his and got it back, so its a good thematic thing 4.) Showing off the PS4 taking a world from old games and upscaling it to current day graphics
Julian Gray
That was a dream of Chernabog.
Colton Hughes
> game spent 12 years stuck in development hell > it turns out to be shit Who could have seen this coming? Certainly not me.
Ryder Johnson
*4 years minus 1 because they switched engines
Liam Gray
So he loses his pants when he becomes a monster?
Alexander Clark
The problem isn’t the worlds chosen themselves but the plot.
Frozen would have been way better if Sora was introduced to the girls before Elsa ran off and she and Anna took turns being his party members for example.
Jordan White
He loses everything but the jacket and necklace, thus that leads to the conclusion that he loses his nipples, belly button and genitalia as well.
Samuel Martinez
>12 years into production Imagine falling for this meme. Is everyone on Yea Forums this retarded?
Ethan Brooks
From interviews it sounds like world's that are just the movie mightve been forced by the teams involved with those movies.
Like the frozen and tangle teams are still things.
Bentley Morales
The Post game was removed to be sold to you at a later date. It also let them put more production time into Let It Go.
Grayson Evans
>I was dissapointed even before the game was realeased Well, as you should have, it's Kingdom Hearts
Kayden Gonzalez
yes
Anthony Lopez
I'm waiting for a Final Mix version to see if they add in some better stuff. Pleasantly surprised by the Einhander fanservice, though.
Adam Butler
>gayass monster inc
Shit taste.
>hercules world for the bazillionth time
Unlike the newer content, Hercules has a small team and Nomura can work easier with them. It's why he can do stuff like have Sora go to Hercules to talk about an actual dilemma he's facing in the main plot as opposed to something like Frozen where he's just in the background the whole time and doesn't really get to impact the movie plot at all.
Also, Nomura likes Hades.
Jose Parker
Why is Disney so stingy?
Ethan Walker
Nomura would never agree to Gargoyles. He doesn't like the idea of Xanatos out smarting Xehanort.
Jaxon Jones
My biggest issue is there was no WTF world
1 had NBX. 2 had Tron. 3 had nothing.
Lucas Flores
yes it did
Jack Ramirez
He's going to be used and loved one day, right guys? Right?
It went on a movie per movie base On one hand we have Big Hero 6, where the story is basically a sequel to the movie, or Hercules, that has an heavily modified version of (part of) the climax to include the KH characters, and on the other we have Frozen, where the story and characters are evidently so pure and sacred for its authors that you can’t change anything and you can barely interact at all, but hey, they had as going around finding the pieces of one of the worst comic relief characters in Disney history, it’s something, isn’t it?
Matthew Diaz
I messed up, I actually wanted to say Horned King instead of chernabog
Ayden Bell
>Showing off the PS4 taking a world from old games and upscaling it to current day graphics Not that I don't agree with the rest of your post because you're right, but goddamn if I wouldn't have preferred them taking another crack at Wonderland instead.
Parker Jenkins
Pretty sure MI was the WTF world, as in >HOLY SHIT WE GET TWO PIXAR MOVIE WORLDS?
Clearly Normura must have been more interested in Pixar films this time round, especially since they were so well done: >Not rehashes of a movie, instead are their own plot lines with character development of Disney characters >Actually relevant to the plot of the larger series >BTFO Young Xehanort >BTFO Vanitas God Toy Story was easily the best Disney World. Frozen was easily the worst, though the climax fight with Marshmallow was pretty great.
Jayden Carter
Pixar actually had a hand in crafting the stories of the worlds. It's why they low key mock the shonen bullshit.
Kingdom Hearts is actually canon to Toy Story now, that world IS the one from the movies and it takes place between 2 and 3.
Aaron Moore
>treasure planet,
Treasure Planet is known as one of the biggest animated film bombs ever. They’re not gonna reference it ever again
Jaxon Lopez
Because Herc is about finding out how to become a true hero and how it's the strength of the heart that maters and not of one's muscles. It fits in with KH motif of how being good and having a strong heart is the true source of power. However I still agree.
>Tfw no more Halloween Town. >Tfw Genie didn't even come back as a summon. >TRON Legacy and Hunchback wasted on 3D. >Frozen world was literally a cluster fuck.
>defense to why the game feels so badly written and unfinished? Anyone consider that maybe it's just badly written and unfinished?
Nicholas Moore
Honestly I would not put it past Nomura to toss this shit out to stall for time while he writes a proper ending to the Xehanort saga.
James Walker
it bombed because of disney
Landon Parker
>worlds with extremely huge demands
None of those worlds you listed even rhyme with Roger Rabbit, user.
Mason Diaz
No, this shit is fucking retarded. Nomura is not some grand 300 IQ schemer, 3 was just unfinished and Nomura can't write, it's as simple as that. This is the same tier of conspiracy shit as those Kojima truthers.
Noah Reyes
>so Disney gets to keep the copyrights on greek mythology ? Wait, Disney owns Greek mythology?
Sebastian Smith
The reason is because Nomura was allowed to play around with the Pixar worlds and the Pixar writing staff was involved with the Pixar worlds. Whereas with Frozen and Tangled, Nomura was extremely restricted in what he was allowed to plot. Even more so with Tangled, since he was not even allowed to be involved in any plot related antics, whereas at least in Tangled he got to be a "sidekick."
Jace Gray
>12 years in production Wrong >chernabog Already used in the previous games, if you actually bothered being a real Kingdom Hearts fan instead of just playing the base game for one and two like a faggot then you'd know that
Brody Torres
Actual development probably lasted two years, and basically nobody from the PS2 team worked on KH3.
Logan Clark
There's so much fucking cut content from this game it's not even funny. At some point it was better than two, but then it got gutted. My guess is to port to Switch easier.
Aiden Fisher
It's not cut content if it was never planned in the first place.
Blake Peterson

Oh for heaven’s sake... >chernabog Was dealt with in DDD. >gargoyles Can’t be touched by Nomura due to the TV Show rule. >oswald Nomura tried to get permission to use him but Disney said it would be difficult. >treasure planet Disney hates that film with a passion due to it failing at the box office. The only consolation is that that an untextured model of the main starship from the film being present in DDD’s code. >moana & maui And this proves you don’t pay attention to interviews, Nomura flat-out said that BH6 was the cut-off for recent films and that no films released after it would be featured.
The game is souless and I dont even mean that in a Yea Forums meme way. It really does feel like they begrudgingly made it. I cant believe I'm playing a game with reused assets from its 14 year old predecessor.
Jonathan Hernandez
And also that we never did the final arc of the movie - the attack on Thebes & Olympus.
Logan Kelly
Why even add the 100 Acre Woods? There was absolutely no point to it in Kingdom Hearts 3.
Leo Gutierrez
>380 fucking pages Holy fucking shit
Blake Kelly
what TV Show rule ?
Parker Roberts
The next game was actually supposed to be a prequel following Xehanort, but he said it would have just made the saga even longer so it wasn't done
Lucas Morales
who even actually cares about nomura's garbage ocs? I just want to interract with disney characters
Jeremiah Evans
>Saga
Why are people buying into his dumb meme? He clearly doesn't know what he wants to do with this franchise.
Because it's literally called the Dark Seeker Saga.
Adrian Hughes
I'm really annoyed that the party members dont have conversations with each other while you're running around. This is like a staple of modern day games and why I feel the KH3 team just pulled up the KH2 file, made modifications, and called it a day.
The world's are big and empty so at least let Sora and Rapnuzel talk to each other. I really the game would be vastly improved if the Disney characters simply developed through talking with the main cast instead of fucking recreating entire scenes from the movies.
>B-But they do talk!
No, they fire out the obligatory pre-recorded lines when you reach a certain checkpoint and then stay quiet the rest of the adventure.
Brayden Parker
khwiki.com/Dark_Seeker_Saga >TheDark Seeker Saga(ダークシーカー編Dāku Shīkā-hen?), informally known as the "Xehanort Saga"(ゼアノート編Zeanōto-hen?),[1][2]is the phase of theKingdom Heartsseries fromthe firstKingdom HeartsgametoKingdom Hearts III, that details the battles betweenSoraandXehanort, as well as various other heroes of the light swept up in the conflict. According to series directorTetsuya Nomura, the Dark Seeker Saga is only the first phase of theKingdom Heartsseries, which will continue after the saga is complete.[3]

Andrew Robinson
>Post it. Not him but it's actually an unused map location like BBS's Jungle Book areas were, people suspect it's from Treasure Planet due to the design of the ship (It's different from Captain Hook's) and it's labeled as "tp" in the game's code while location data in other games are labeled with the world's abbreviation (Destiny Islands=di, Hollow Bastion=hb, Pride Lands=pr, Twilight Town=tt, etc.). >youtube.com/watch?v=vWyCL3sdXq Jump to the 2:53:30 mark to see it. >What TV show rule? No crossovers between cinematic works and TV shows, KH primarily uses stuff from their movies and their theatrical shorts.
Justin Miller
Worse. It's 380 pages dedicated to fujo shipping
Hudson Hernandez
It's not a saga. Thats some dumb shit Nomura came up with to keep you idiots buying these shit games. KH is going to end at 4 and get rebooted 20 years later. There's no fucking saga. A saga would imply there is a set beginning and end to the story and the next one saga will start up right after. That is clearly not the case with KH.
>A saga would imply there is a set beginning and end to the story
You're wasting your time. KH fans seriously believe Nomura isn't makin this shit up as he goes along and DDD wasn't a giant retcon in order to extend the franchise.
Adrian Morris

Shouldve used 2's toontown world as a basis and have Oswald running things once mickey left that world. Would've been cool to see oswald cause havoc on accident or something.
Jaxon Russell
Wait no Halloween town? Wtf? A good wtf world would have been edward scissorhands.
Christian Hall
KH is a game, not a book or simulator.
Adrian Sanchez
What did it retcon?
Luke Johnson
What? DDD set up the ending for the chapter. KH3 set it up to keep going
Julian Thomas
HERCULES IS COOL AND HE'S STRONG AND CAN PUNCH STUFF
Daniel Wood
I'm pretty sure Disney is ashamed of any property they have that isnt Star Wars, Marvel or Princesses
Tyler Hall
It's actually not even 10 pages of actual writing. 80% of it is screenshots and empty space because it's not formatted well.
David Diaz
Speaking of which, when is Marvel and Star Wars going to be included? I’m surprised Darth Vader hasn’t been a secret boss yet.
Lucas Torres
>all the secondaries ITT bitching about their favorite movie not being in the game yuck
Pixar worlds are definitely the best story wise. BH6 and PotC are middling, but at least the pirates world is fun and I liked Jack and Sora's interactions. Olympus is nice too.
Tangled was somewhat comfy, but felt pretty meh. Frozen was just pure garbage, even if the world itself was nice and that final boss battle was great.
Sebastian Miller
>No crossovers between cinematic works and TV shows,
why?

>Organization XIII's goal was to reclaim their lost hearts so they can become whole again >Xemnas directly states this multiple times in KH II >But actually according to DDD, Xemnas was actually recruiting 13 vessels for Master Xehanort to inhabit >MAster Xehanort somehow anticipated Xemnas would fail so he arranged to have his Heartless, Ansem the Seeker of Darkness, to time travel to the past, find Young Xehanort, gift him the power of time travel, and tavel through different time periods recruiting another 13 people to form the "true" Organization XIII
Nomura is a fucking idiot.
Lincoln Bailey
>>Organization XIII's goal was to reclaim their lost hearts so they can become whole again >>Xemnas directly states this multiple times in KH II He retroactively gave a character a better motivation and also made it so he was lying. Ending the universe with a heart bomb so you can feel something is retarded 2000's writing that can stay there
Isaiah Roberts
>"I love Nomura's cock in my mouth"
How the fuck is this convoluted shit better than non-people wanting to feel human? Why not create new villains instead of shitting all over the older ones?
>Ending the universe with a heart bomb so you can feel something is retarded 2000's writing that can stay there
But Xehanort's whole "I need to end the universe to save it and I actually had good intentions all along" bullshit is any better?
Caleb Nguyen
>dude i killed everyone so i could feel something CRAWLING IN MY SKIN THIS user WILL NOT AGE
Jordan Rogers
>>dude i killed everyone so i could feel something
Are we really going to pretend Xehanort's plan isn't that different? And lets be real, Kingdom Hearts as a whole is trapped in the 00s both concept and gameplay wise. The series should rebooted.
Benjamin Gray
Disney owns everything.
Evan Perez
Xehanort was literally driven insane by shadow magic because he was too cocky. Much better character than Xemnas
Zachary Clark
I can't stand the 3D look they went for. Sure, 17-year old me wanted it when KH2 came out, but I was a fucking retard when I was 17.
Jackson Smith
Nah, it's fine. We just ended the first chapter and so far the Foreteller saga is doing a great job of modernizing the franchise.
Hudson Cooper
Anamatronic Daisy is a news reporter and is asking Oswald about the earthquakes ravaging Wasteland while also making him feel like shit because she keeps pointing out that while Oswald is running around (actually trying to fix shit) having 'adventures' the Mad Doctor is becoming more and more the leader of Wasteland by having his robots fix buildings.
Noah Fisher
I guess x and Back Cover really are the start of the next chapter aren't they
>own all three games >never beat one or played past it I should do this one day
Austin Reyes
It should always have just been backstory for the Graveyard, nothing more. Fuck, imagine how people who don't know about the jap only browser game feel considering UX just skips over the actual war.
John Stewart
We will absolutely be getting a remake of the entire x/Unchained/Union story. There's no fucking way we won't
Brayden Jackson
Did you not just learn your lesson about having expectations from how 3 turned out?
Connor Thomas
3 actually made me more excited for what's next than anything has in the series despite it being a solid 6/10 game. It felt like Normura just didn't want to make the game and he even admitted that he had a game planned before it but didn't do it because it wouldn't end the Dark Seeker Saga which makes me think Disney might have come in and told him to do it.
Adam Anderson
Same, especially given how hyped I was for the original game. Man what a letdown, but the world is still cool.
Jacob Martin
