I'm pretty hyped, KH3 has great foundations but desperately needs more endgame content and a rebalanced skillset with less OP magic and attractions.
Anyone else notice the purple Organization chairs underneath the logo and world map model for the Keyblade Graveyard? I'm going to bet that's the new Garden of Remembrance with data battles.
Also see image for how to deal with Barry. Don't take the bait.
How do we know critical mode will be part of the free DLC and not the paid one?
Angel Roberts
The interview said that it will be released as soon as it's ready, same for all the free DLC. The reason it's not out yet is that they're actually working to improve the balance.
The paid DLC will all be part of a single huge package, which I assume will be called Final Mix.
Ryan Reed
If there’s to be another game in between KH3 and 4, it would have to be for mobile devices or the Switch.
Jacob Martin
Who is best girl and why is it Larxene?
Also where the fuck did these models come from and is there porn with them?
>or the Switch. I wonder if they'd use the old engine for that or still UE4. Anyways at this point you'd think Nomura would stop making "side" games on different consoles already but I guess it would be too costly to make new assets on UE4, if that's the issue, for a spin-off that will probably be ported at some point.
Jonathan Reed
I love KH too but we have a place for generals
Blake Morgan
Based ??? ReCOM came out for the ps2 in between KH1 and KH2. Besides it would be easier and faster to make a side game with the new KH3 engine for Xb1/PS4.
Juan Rogers
100% the Switch. Square Enix can't resist that boomer money. Hoping they'll use the old engine myself instead of making a shitty-looking downgraded UE game.
Honestly, it's a mystery why the remakes aren't on the Switch already.
Jack Powell
Anyone else wants to marry Larxene?
Camden Gomez
So Frozen's Ice labyrinth is killing my Momentum. Have not picked up the game in a week since it feels like a slog.
Carter Barnes
This isn't a general, it's a thread for the new information released today.
The only thing mentioned about FF characters in today's info dump was that they made a model for Squall, but canceled it. Doesn't seem like there are any plans to add them back in, sadly, and the new content will be focused on the main story.
Ethan Miller
>The paid DLC will all be part of a single huge package, which I assume will be called Final Mix Nope, it's gonna be FF worlds
I'm not joking, really
Easton Howard
Gods i hope so, but i read something about Keyblade Graveyard scenario DLC, i don't know if he was talking about the paid one or a free update though
Carson Williams
Why did you delete your post and post it again?
Zachary Hernandez
What? No it didn't. CoM came out on the GBA between 1 and 2, ReCOM was bundled with KH2FM in Japan and released separately here.
Thomas Watson
Who's the secret boss going to be? Bets on Yozora
Samuel Lewis
Meant for wtf happened
Elijah White
It's almost guaranteed to be on the Switch.
Josiah Russell
Took me like 20 minutes to beat that place, you must get distracted easily
Ethan Peterson
KH1: PS2 CoM: GBA KH2: PS2 Days: DS BBS: PSP Coded: Mobile DDD: 3DS X: Browsers UX: Mobile 0.2: PS4 KH3: PS4
The precedent is that every game comes out on a different platform from the previous game, but gets remakes on the main Playstation consoles down the line.
Hunter Phillips
>>Nomura has another side game in mind before KH4 switch game >>New story content fleshing out the final battle and explaining stuff like Xion better I kinda don´t care, explain terra nort to me. Where the fuck does he come from?
What else I want: - Add a starwars world, something like the death star - add some new boss fights - add costumes, so I can play as other characters
Christian Bennett
Yozora is all but guaranteed, but there might be another one too that is more relevant to the main story. MoM or one of the Foretellers/Luxu, perhaps.
Mason Martinez
> Add a starwars world, something like the death star The problem is that Star Wars licencing is complicated. Disney can't just easily give them the rights. Especially because EA (I believe) has that exclusivity contract
Hunter Adams
>Especially because EA (I believe) has that exclusivity contract Doesn´t EA have contract to make disney games? Having star wars stuff isn´t that difficult, look at the credits somewhere they said and thanks for lucas arts for using the name "Star something" The white toy, I never knew we could fight.
Julian Price
>Doesn´t EA have contract to make disney games? EA is contracted to make Star Wars games. And even if they WERE contracted to make Disney products I don't see how that would matter for Kingdom Hearts. >Having star wars stuff isn´t that difficult, look at the credits somewhere they said and thanks for lucas arts for using the name "Star something" What?

>Also see image for how to deal with Barry. Don't take the bait. I hate you people so much. Every thread. EVERY SINGLE THREAD. You guys incessantly whine about Barry like he's a real person. He's not. I wish we could have a thread where Barryposters would go back to their Discord and never return Other than that, I'm super excited for the DLC. I was hoping for more post-game content in the vanilla release, but I'm happy it's coming regardless. Would love to fight all 13 Org. members as separate boss battles with more moves. Hopefully Nomura delivers.
Julian Flores
The Terra/Xehanort stuff was confirmed to work the way some of us already figured out. Basically this chart some user made, but with a question mark on that nobody to the left since that's speculation.
Not only the data 13 org but wish we could also fight the keyblade wielders from the light side too
Josiah Foster
>You guys incessantly whine about Barry like he's a real person. He's not.
Carson Mitchell
I can't but i like the series so if that what it takes for it to become good then fuck it
Landon Hernandez
That's not Barry. How do you not understand this? There are more people than Barry in this world who share feelings against KH and use XV as a strawman. You guys ruined all my threads 2 years ago complaining.
Luke Harris
Barry would never admit XV was unfinished garbage.
Luke Hughes
>What Go to the bestiary, go to not heartless,nobodies etc. enemies. There is a white toy. That thing has the name of something star wars related, which they wrote in the credits and thanked lucas arts. But I still don´t know where we fought it.
Brayden Ortiz
Including some random white toy that may be related to Lucasarts isn't the same as having Darth Vader, user.
Chase Lee
>Where the fuck does he come from? Sane inyerview explained that when Ansem and Xemnas got slain instead of terranort reforming Master xehanort and Terra reformed seperately. But since Terra's will was chilling in the armor and Terra's heart was busy being CUM GUARDIAN, Terra's bod was.just a husk which was ripe for the NORTING. The terranort was just BBS terranort using Terra husk of a bod to time travel instead of a replica like the other timetraveling norts.
Daniel Young
You must be very new here. We have been dealing with this guy for literal years. I don't know if Barry is his name or not, but there is one specific guy with a very recognizable posting style who spams threads with the same buzzwords, images and webms all day. He used to make discussion of FFXV impossible, and now he's moved on to KH3.
Thomas Richardson
That's not Barry, don't use him as a scapegoat for anyone who doesn't agree with you. That's exactly what is saying.
Barry is real though.
Chase Morales
Because KH III came out comparatively less unfinished than FF XV. FF XV would have needed about two to three more years of development time. KH III is, all things considered, a complete game that needs some fine tuning.
Benjamin Johnson
Is this in KH3? I just checked the credits and didn't see anything like that. Any screenshots?
Nolan Torres
This seems like complete bullshit.
Anthony Cruz
BASED
Eli Jones
It needs a complete plot overhaul to be the least bit satisfying.
Anthony Scott
There's multiple people who do that for fun, but they're just people who are fighting with a different set of Discord users on these threads. Their constant strawmanning and name calling is so obvious it hurts. Person A insults Kingdom Hearts, person B calls person A a speedrunner, and persona A/C then posts webms/pictures to make their point. Barry is just some guy on Twitter who complains a little bit about KH before comparing it to FFXV, but he's not in these threads 24/7. In fact, he mostly just stays on Twitter as far as I'm aware. Try not to copy what these Discord kids are doing. It's embarrassing and kills all discussion almost instantly. Yes, I realize I'm doing what I said not to do, but it's been many, many threads of this
Ryder Campbell
Wait I am currently rewatching the credits.
Asher Turner
>Switch spinoff confirmed >Secret ending confirmed to be next game teaser >The shibuya seen in the ending IS NOT THE ACTUAL TWEWY SHIBUYA CONFIRMED >Sora and Riku are in the same world, but are separate again WE'RE GETTING FUCKING DREAM DROP DISTANCE 2. FUCK EVERYTHING
Here, 11:38, my bad it was air droid nothing with star.
Alexander Brown
Yeah that's because the word droid is copyrighted by Lucasarts, not because they used anything from Star Wars.
Connor Baker
It'll be on 3DS too.
Anthony Ortiz
>Q: What happened to Lingering Will after the fight? >Nomura: When Terra came back, it disappeared, as did the armor. However, a Keyblade wielder’s armor, like the Keyblade, will come back to them if the conditions are right.
So LW and Terranort just fought each other, and both decided to fuck off from each other, and when Terranort died and Terra came back, Lingering Will just returned to him with the armor.
This shit is fucking retarded. At least fucking give a true answer, not this vague shit. If LW won but didn't do jack shit and just kneeled again, say it. If LW lost, why was he still there before Terra came back? I mean for god sake he pretty much saying that LW was still alive until Terra came back. What the fuck Nomura.
>Yeah that's because the word droid is copyrighted by Lucasarts That can't possibly be real, that's like when Disney tried to copyright the day of the dead.
Lincoln Morales
I think you're simply overthinking a very minor plot point, user.
>New side game is Chain of Memories 2 How would you react?
Luis Allen
>pay 15$ to play episode lingering, good goyim
Brody Hill
Dude what? Lingering Will's entire existence is to fuck up Xehanort with everything he has, you expect us to just accept "he got tired and stopped fighting offscreen" as an excuse?
Michael Mitchell
That's fucking retarded, copyright law is stupid.
Oliver Walker
Yeah, because that's what happened. >you expect us to just accept "he got tired and stopped fighting offscreen" as an excuse? I think you're simply overthinking a very minor plot point, user.
Juan Butler
As long as i get to play as Riku again i'll take it.

Youtube, 4chins, twitter, all those shitty wikis/tv tropes, and yes, even reddit

Gavin Sullivan

Chase Moore
Nomura genuinely doesn't care.
Jace Garcia

Charles Powell
wow XD BASED Nomura not explaining shit and shoveling non-explanations at us
Anthony Campbell
this but unironically
Jayden Phillips
Didn't Nomura say that the Shibuya at the end has nothing to do with the TWETY one?
Nicholas Peterson
Fucking stupid. You can't sequel bait TWEWY stuff (you fucking know they did with the way Sora wakes up and the Shibuya building number) and then say it has nothing to do with TWEWY.
Lucas Hernandez
Nips called LW not being playable a cocktease and asked the same in twitter.
Nomura is just a retard/saving the answer for a DLC.
How ironic that you would claim XV-kun is a bogeyman and then refer to the Discord bogeyman.
It's irrelevant who makes these posts and whether or not they're Barry. The same posts are spammed in every thread, and people have to be told to report and ignore them or they'll derail the thread yet again.
Anthony Lopez
There’s no hope the game can be saved by DLC because it’s already good.
Tyler Edwards
To non-switch owners, will you buy a switch to play the new side game?
Bentley Rivera
I do but 3 was unironically poorly written, like not even from a cheesy schlock standpoint, just actually a terribly written story even by KH standards.

Nope, will probably watch everything on youtube. Until it gets a Re:make on PS4/PS5.
Gabriel Ward

Adrian Moore
Yes?
Brayden Baker
No. KH3 got me pretty unethusiastic about the franchise's future, I can easily watch a walkthrough on youtube and wait for the PS5 remaster at this point.
Isaac Price
Nothing is confirmed. Why do you want them downgrade it to some shitty tablet?
Jayden Jackson
I do, but I guarantee that most people saying yes to your question don't.

Wanting has nothing to do with it, it is simply the most probable route they will go with it going by what they jave done in the past.

Jayden Gray
>go VAT Finally someone who understands how kino VAT order is.
Wasn't looking forward to playing it, but recently beat it. Actually one of the more fun KH games imo. Command deck system is weird to get used to. Spamming certain commands and using shotlock, or whatever it's called, can cheese certain fights. Look up a synthesis guide and spend an hour grinding out abilities like second chance
Landon Hernandez
Order Ventus->Terra->Aqua is my recommendation but the important thing is really just to do Aqua after Ventus.
Jordan Wood
Funny you should use that word, because I honestly think you have schizophrenia. I made this thread and my OP image saved it from XV-kun's shitposting. There is no Discord conspiracy and never was, there is one guy shitposting and a few random copycats from time to time. No one would talk on Discord about coordinating fucking shitposting on Yea Forums.
Pence, Ienzo, and Xion were the main people that led to Roxas' revival. Say something nice to them.
Jacob Johnson

>No one would talk on Discord about coordinating fucking shitposting on Yea Forums. This. This right here is how I know you're so full of it. Absolutely delusional. Please do us all a favor and never talk about Barry/XV-kun/Bazztek again unless you know beyond a shadow of a doubt it's him who's posting. I wanna see timestamps, an IP, and a picture of him posting as proof before you derail yet another thread with your eceleb drama.
Cameron Torres
chain of memories came out on the gba in between 1 and 2. reCom on the ps2 didnt show up until the japan only final mix for 2 and we got it as a standalone after that. next time do a simple google search so you don't look like a fucking idiot
Jaxson Campbell
>olette is banging hayner >lea gets on with xion >isa skullfucks skuld Roxas can be gay with Pence if he wants
Isaiah Scott
Roxas only cared about Namine in KH2 because she deleted his memory while helping to ruin his life. They met for about 10 minutes total. Once he got his memory back he had no reason to care about her.
Chase Wright
Terra's ending completely spoils Ven's while Ven's doesn't spoil Terra's. Aqua's only spoils Ven's but has no big reveals specific to her to spoil so doing her after Ven is imperative.
Daniel Carter
>ever playing games in German Warum?
Julian Gomez
You are the one trying to derail this thread you absolute fucking faggot. Aside from the OP post, no one even mentioned XV-kun here before you did. Kill yourself.
Parker Foster
Pence is a bro. Without him, Ienzo, or Xion, Roxas wouldn't be a complete person.
He's not on these threads and unless you can prove it I suggest you stop trying to shill your eceleb crap on here.
Mason Bell

Oops, forgot them. All Demyx did is drop off the vessel since he's someone they'd least expect and for all Ienzo knew, Vexen was still evil.
Leo Kelly
>headcanon What part of this is a headcanon?
Leo Clark
Nah, you don't see anything of what's happening with Ven and Aqua in Terra's ending. You only know that the X-Blade was formed, which was obviously going to happen anyway. The other routes spoil what Braig is up to though, which is a spoiler in Terra's route. They also spoil what happens with Terra and Eraqus. You'll lose plot twists from other routes whichever one you do first, so there's no definitive order other than doing Aqua after Ventus.
Mason Rogers

i actually really liked it. once you leave the level becomes pretty lame honestly

How does Terra spoil Ven? All you hear about Ven's plot in Terra's story is his line at the end about being "some kind of χ-blade", you don't even know what a χ-blade is yet and you haven't met Vanitas except for the ending
Andrew Ross
>Vexen was still evil. Read the reports, ever since Saix approached him and got him back to the orgy he was only working for the good guys.
Jose Thomas
I don't want to give him any credit, but it pretty much has gotten to the point where steps need to be taken to avoid every thread being shitflinging centered around him or people pretending to be him.
Jaxon Anderson
Why did he have Demyx drop off his vessel?
Isaiah Kelly
The part where he only cared about her until he regained his memory, it all came back to him after he rejoined Sora except that walking retcon.
Isaac Morris

Christopher Baker
You are right, DLCs can't save a bad game, just look at FF XV, after all these patches, blood is still seeping through a bare bones core. KHIII at least good already, so DLC don't have to save it. It will give a better endgame content, though.
James Brooks
Ventus cause Terra and Aqua get married and get a new house in Daybreak Town raising the next generation of Keyblade masters
Robert Thomas
i'm hoping they give us Master Eraquas again but now with good gameplay, just like how we got a proper Vanitas and Young Xehanort fight out of this game. his armour and theme are kino too youtube.com/watch?v=7k8kIDbff40
What all came back to him? Just the Organization? He still never met Namine in Days, so he did only know her for 10 minutes.
Easton Powell

David Mitchell
Did Aqua win the Terrabowl
Jason Lopez
I know what you are talking about and it is not star wars related as searching for the name of it brought up nothing. I believe it may have been a toy Lucas Arts made
Jace Richardson
Cause Demyx was benched from the beginning, meaning no one was paying attention to him while the Xehanorts still kept tabs on Vexen, considering his replicas were so vital.
People may shit on BBS all they want but it had a really nice OST.
Eli Taylor
Doesn't matter, he wanted to be with her regardless because she was the only one trying to help him while DiZ was forcing her to do to him what Marluxia forced her to do to Sora.
Isaiah Butler
So how did terranort shave off 10 or so years of his life in 3? I'm pretty sure he aged before splitting into Ansem & Xemnas.
Pence: Worked with ienzo most of the game with his networking and computer skills to change permissions of the old mansion computer to give Ienzo access to the data Twilight Town so Ienzo can extract data Roxas' memories. Attempts to distract Ansem SoD. Olette: Saves Ansem the Wise, works with Scrooge to save munny up for the beach >Jobs to Ansem SoD after attempting to dropkick him; Successfully distracts Ansem SoD, something Pence tries to achieve; Saves munny for the beach by working part-time with uncle scrooge. Why is Hayner the least useful of the trio in KH3?
Playing KH2 it gets good after you finish playing as Roxas right?
Jaxon Brooks
>not knowing about the japan exclusive one-time concert event that held crucial canon plot elements confirming Naminé was after the armored dick.

Because they're too stupid to understand that lingering will probably just transferred it's conciousness into the guardian and disappeared in the middle of the fight.
Colton Sanchez
>452744291 >pointing out the Saix "fight" >AGAIN No You for you.
Caleb Rogers
Terra won the Aquabowl, Ven won the Terrabowl. Reminder that Terra only cried when he talked to Ven.
I thought updates were monthly, why'd we get it so early?
Jeremiah Phillips
How did it transfer its consciousness into the Guardian? That doesn't even fucking make sense, and when the Guardian flies in when they're fighting Terranort, it was elsewhere entirely, not attached to Terranort.
Nicholas Collins
A little later, when you get cool abilities. But it will never be as kino as Roxas' story.
Has anything come of Invi seeing Mickey come from the future and talk about some impending darkness?
Carter Bennett
RE:UNION X
Joshua Green
The body is affected by the heart (Replicas getting the correct gender when they're filled with a heart, Ven not growing old while his heart was missing) so when Terranort's heart time-traveled to the present and went into Terra again it shaped his body. Obviously.
Logan Gutierrez
Ephemer and Streletzia are gonna come back
Asher Bennett
Probably the same fucking way Xehanort put his heart in Terra in the first place who really gives a shit it barely matters.
Asher Rogers
that's because BBS was the last game where they actually composed *new* stuff. everything since has been rearrangements, which is why everyone complains that it all sounds the same. it's true but by design. i'm obviously not including world themes
Nathaniel Ortiz
Maybe he looked like Xemnas when that happened, Xemnas is an aged Terranort
Daniel James
Until it an explanation actually happens in-game, the Guardian is Terra's heart. I don't give a fuck what lame as fuck explanation Nomura gives, trying to contradict it. Also >making a side game the beginning of your new saga
Holy shit KH fags are so fucking obsessed, the barry boogeyman lives in your heads rent free. It's sad.
Josiah Roberts
Why do you hate BBS?
Jack Foster
But that only works with replicas specifically because Vexen designed them to do that.
Colton Morales
It does matter, though. Plot holes actively harm my enjoyment of something.

I don't. Its just that some bosses & the majority of superbosses are absolute garbage due to the lack of hitstun. Other than that I had fun.
Still, it also explains why Ven didn't get older either.
Benjamin Miller
There is nothing that says he can't have just merged his conciousness with his heartless just because you didn't see it.

I don't, i just never expected it to be on par with a console game. Also multiple scenarios, styles and some of the stronger commands were pretty nice.
It said they had permission from Lucasfilm to use the "droid" in Air Droid, a heartless.
Matthew Nelson
You silly billy this is a Kingom hearts game
Caleb Young
The bosses are actually pretty good, fuck the haters.
All people do is bitch about shit being to easy but no no no Vanitas and MF are too hard :(((
John Peterson
Not really, if hearts shape the body like you said he would have aged when his heart was put back. He didn't age because he hid his heart in Sora.
Connor Ross
"Consciousness" isn't a tangible object in KH like Hearts are. The only other thing we've ever seen happen like that is when Master Xehanort controls YX at the end of DDD, but YX was willing for him to take him over. The Guardian wouldn't have been willing.
Justin Cooper
I dont like the characters, story, and gameplay
Zachary Fisher
I thought it was confirmed they were in the realm of sleep, did Nomura just get bored of that idea and decide to retcon it?
Still no. It isn't a tangible object like hearts are. Name one other time someone's soul has possessed someone unwilling in KH.
Hunter Brown
It works with every body. This is the reason Roxas looks like Ven, because Ven's heart was in his body, shaping it instead of keeping Sora's shape.
Evan Perry
I already believe that. I just don't know how LW could have taken over the Guardian. It just isn't like anything we've seen in KH before ever.
Isaac Wright

Souls/minds are a thing in KH and separate from hearts.
Jackson Cooper
Show me one other moment where something like Lingering Will even exists in the first place, he is an anomaly in the series.
Hunter Miller
Who in their right mind would be in a room with a bat?
Aiden Gutierrez
>New story content fleshing out the final battle and explaining stuff like Xion better
That's... not really what most people were asking for. The final battle was fleshed out enough, nobody fucking cares about autistic shit like the Xion stuff, and what most of us wanted was story content to be fleshed out for everything PRIOR to the final fight. Some postgame content wouldn't hurt either.
Daniel Thompson
Because he tried harder. Kinda the whole point of LW, its star wars logic. >oh now our ship/walker is going down >no today its not >through sheer force of will and pulling the controls really fucking hard the ship/walker gets back up and keeps moving Shit dont gotta make sense
Noah Sullivan
user, LW is the only thing like him we've ever seen in KH too
Kayden Ward
To get that bitch out of my house because he flew in through the dog door.
Guardian is Terra's heartless. We know Heartless lose consciousness, they are controlled by instincts. LW is literally Terra's consciousness. I guess he just went home, as in went into his heart easily, since that is where it belongs.
Angel Sanchez
dlc still can't fix the story, shit pacing, no FF, no radiant garden or new world etc
David Long
Ah, yes, in the series with talking gargoyles, sentient brooms and mirrors, talking cats, a sentient suit of armor is the anomaly.
Connor Williams
kek touche
Angel Lewis
>cant walk around mysterious tower I just wanted to pall around with Yen
Gavin Campbell
Exactly none of these things sound even remotely appealing to me. KH3 needed more worlds, better game design, and some kind of cohesive midpoint to help the pacing feel more consistent, not just more shit stuffed into the final hour of the game. That's gonna make the pacing even worse.
I'm glad you're finally understanding, user. Took some time but you're getting there.
Jordan Martinez
It also keeps everything Terra related a complete secret which makes for a superior experience when you finally learn what the fuck is up with him when you finally reach his route

The main fucking problem with LW is the fact that he's sentient, but not just sentient - Terra's memories, Terra way of acting and talking, his voice, all of his abilities - The whole shit in 0.2 and Namine. All of it make it "clear" that the conscious lies within the armor.
I guess it works like this -
Terra can control his conscious from within his heart, or to the armor.
David Ward
yes, that's a valid complaint because those boss battles are poorly designed. they had to nerf those bosses in final mix because trying to beat those bosses with terra was straight up completely luck dependent while ventus and aqua basically had to spam dodge because every single attack brings you down to 1 hp if you have second chance and once more. regular attacks are useless on MF because he just stops time and reverts the damage you just did, so there's only really one method to fight him. vanitas remnant can just be cheesed with set damage attacks like tornado, but only ventus gets that
Jonathan Carter
Game's already fine and complete story wise, DLC is just icing on the cake
Christopher Campbell
>Xion DLC >not Lingering Will DLC Why is Nomura such a hack?
Should have had radiant garden since we dont need traverse town this time and moved Olympus towards the second half. Add a GMD world to find little chef in properly and I would have been pretty happy
I'm okay with not being able to explore the real of darkness, had that with other games. >didnt get to explore Akuma Island in BH6
There was a little bit cut though. Xions return and the mysterious tower were cut and the result of LWs fight is unclear as whether he won and overtook heartless or lost.
Ryder Hall
>Lingering Will DLC >They remove the cape while you play as him but return it to him at the end FUCKING NOMURA
I watched 10 hours of shit and played two handheld games to get caught up. Yes
Liam Flores
>Add a GMD world to find little chef in properly and I would have been pretty happy I don't think that the creative team behind Ratatouille would have been very ok with that
Christian Jackson
LW fought Terranort. Terranort run off and summoned a demon tide for him to fight.
Welcome to "Episode Lingering" Dlc final boss. Another fucking Demon tide.
>can't walk around the Dark World 0.2 >can't walk around Scala Ad Caelum You can >can't walk around Twilight Town You can
Samuel Sanders
Is anyone else reading this Sleeping Realm Theory
Carson Morris
Its in the name user. Lingering Will
Its the will of terra, he doesnt need to control any of it because his will was always to re-unite with the others and defeat nort. LW just took a different road than the others and it worked pretty damn well
Cooper Wood
Fuck those overated shits, I want Riku and Mickey exploring Realm of darkness and playable Axel and Kairi
It's just a cutscene that explains Xion's revial better, not Xion DLC. There will be many cutscenes in the DLC, including when Xehanort and Ven first met.
Anthony Thompson
The story will revolve around Xion, but LW is playable. The DLC will be about LW, what happened to him after fighting Terra-Nort. Roughly 4 hours with explorable new areas, and buffed versions of all the norts for him to fight. Can fight all of them at once if you unlock it.
Charles Brooks
Its confirmed that all the disney worlds in KHUX were data worlds projected from the book of prophecies and its also pretty much confirmed that the dandelions were dropped into another realm after the keyblade war so that they wouldn't die. So Daybreak Town being a data projection as well and in reality being a destroyed place is not that far fetched
Jacob Ortiz
This is probably the dumbest defense I've ever seen. YOU CAN WALK AROUND THIS PLACE IN A SEPARATE GAME AND YOU CAN WALK AROUND THESE TWO HEAVILY GUTTED PLACES.
Adrian Jackson
It's is not a Xion DLC, why are people so illiterate? He said the DLC may explain how Xion came back, not that it will be about Xion only Which one?
Christopher Scott
Twilight Town and Arendelle being so locked down seemed fucking stupid
Especially with Port Royal literally being "You can go anywhere" town.
Dylan Flores
He has memories that make him hate Xehanort. Therefore he has a heart.
Jose Morales
>not allowed to have disney characters cross into other worlds A rat stowing on a ship to escape the heartless and ending up in a mouse world would have been great since tiny sora and ven are great
Don't try to make sense of it. Nomura doesn't care about internal consistency.
Aaron Sanders
>I want Riku and Mickey exploring Realm of darkness Its literally just the stuff aqua saw that we played in 2 different games RoD is the weakest contender for added worlds imo
>missed the entire point of KH EVERYTHING even a pebble can grow a heart user
Jeremiah Richardson
>another fucking demon tide
oh for god sake.
Kayden Anderson
It'll be there for brainlets who really want everything shown and explained rather than just inferring
Angel White
>playable Axel and Kairi Spending 6-8 hours hitting moving furniture while not leveling up (forced zero exp) and eating ice-cream doesn't sound like an interesting game. Give some Lea/Isa though.
Owen Gutierrez
Then just use another part of it to explore and have them save Aqua at the beginning without soras help Everyone jobs, the writing is shit, whatever
Juan Wilson
>A rat stowing on a ship to escape the heartless and ending up in a mouse world would have been great since tiny sora and ven are great I'm not confirming or denying it would have been cool. But if you read interviews with Nomura it's fairly obvious that Disney doesn't want their properties crossing over with each other too much. It's the very reason why Aladdin doesn't world hop with you for example. Plus some of the creative teams behind these movies are a lot less ok with the concept of Kingdom Hearts in general, the IGN interview really shined some light on KH3 in this regard. Plus on a more practical level, why advertise a movie over 30 years old that wasn't even a big financial success? Just seems silly.
Andrew Williams
Out of the 2, which would you never like to face again?: >Demon tide >Darkside
Demon Tide/Tower has a really boring design and was reused so much during 0.2 and KH3 i don't know what Nomura was thinking. I like the moves but a clusterfuck of shadow is just boring
Samuel Wright
Lea has some pretty cool moves if you watch him fight in the saix/xion battle, same with Kairi. She does some rising eagle launcher combo and pearl attacks which is alright
Xavier Miller
Darkside at least has seniority and is iconic within the series as the ultimate Giga Fodder.
Matthew Cook
Would have been way better with how we were teased about her training before.
>demon tide >doesnt even have waves
Noah Hill
They won't use the darkside nobody thing from KH2 ever again will they? Too difficult to animate that squiggly dude
Daniel Thompson
I mean, I would also like some of the older Disney movies to get more representation. Some of them even have some potentially great boss fights, but I think with KH3 at least it's clear where their priorities lie. It's not even unreasonable in my opinion, since with 3D models you can make the games look nearly as good as the movies themselves. But it is a shame we'll never see some of the crazier oldschool shit in KH.
Isaiah Martinez
They should bring back the olympus coliseum tournaments
They were gonna use him in a future game (I forget which but there is unused models for him) but I think they didn't do it because that was kind of Roxas' thing.
Levi Johnson
You might be surprised. They planned on using it for DDD until that was scrapped in favor of Dream Eaters.
Well, according to Nomura's comments from Ultimata, it appears like he fights this guy AFTER the events of KH3. So it's probably just on the cusp of life and death
Alexander Wood
But you're right? Those biceps hnnng.
Adrian Perez
Considering it was fought in The Final World which was revealed to be the afterlife, it was probably a Darkside that died for real and you put it down for good in his boss fight.
Luke Smith
Will Larxene pee on me in it?
Jose Clark
Which article said there was another side game in mind before kh4?
Ayden Ross
Nah, LW DLC is like this: >mini tutorial to get used to LW's moves is the KH2 secret boss fight from his perspective. You practice your moves on KH2 Sora, Donald and Goofy >wander aroundthe graveyard killing heartless >Terranort as first boss, shoving how the fight went. >explorable dungeon under the labyrinth with a few orgy 13 bosses here and there >all the unexplained shit is explained via "LW kicked the ass of a nort and good things happened" >last boss is Terranort again, now inside the Guardian, struggling for control >if you find every treasure, you can fight all the norts at all in one clusterfuck of a secret boss battle
Jason Taylor
Sexual innuendo. Sora means sky and Kairi means sea.
Charles Ramirez
I liked how the non character nobodies got some attention, and how Sora calls them wet blankets
Daniel Hill
If Sora gave into the darkness while in the final world would his heartless look like this?
Gavin Watson
>the only other Heartless with a big heart shaped hole in it's chest has been the guardian >the guardian turned out to be Terra Obviously the Darkside is Sora's dad
Ian Cook
So that Darkside is Sora and Kairi's secret darkside if you know what I mean?
Henry Johnson
I think the Lich, Dark Inferno and Invisible also have heart shaped holes
Christian Adams
Just watch, you might be surprised.
Matthew Lee
They, in fact, all do.
Ryder Myers
>Only one game between numbered games hahahahahaha
Hopefully we get some XIII Remant fights like the Data Silhouette fights from 2. Also expect a Mysterious Figure 3. Empty vessel or something stupid like that.
Jaxon Hughes
I guess it's just a thing for human shaped pureblood heartless then because Dark Thorn and Hide don't have it.
Brody Rogers
Yeah imagine how crazy it'd be if there was only 1 game between KH1+2 pfffft
James Hughes
Side games are an unfortunate necessity at this point. It would be impossible to integrate stories like X and BBS into the narrative of the mainline games. That said I do hope he's learned a lesson and will tone it down dramatically in future sagas.
Christian Gray
Just noticed you can actually see Xehanort's face inside Goat-Xehanort's neck, i thought he transformed in some kind of disfigured humanoid but it really is just an armor
Asher Ortiz
If you look at the journal entry for Dark Inferno it's obvious that it was supposed to just be KH3's version of invisibles, but got upgraded to super boss because they didn't have anything else.
Sebastian Sanders
I thought it was tied in some way to the Power of Awakening or Sora starting to die. It couldn't maintain its form like Sora after he went to the Final World.
Sebastian Gonzalez
I'm hoping that they'll use the mobile game as a means to avoid having so many spinoff games.
Dylan Hall
If I prefer XV over KH3 does that make me XV-kun or is it a specific user? I never quite got this meme because I avoided the XV threads.
Hudson King
I wonder if the rest of the foretellers will have an armor version or if we'll fight them in their robes.
Caleb Rivera
KH3 bad
Chase King
Nomura kinda took a step back from the armor concept after BBS, personally I think they'll just fight in their robes.
Ethan Gray
lmao Axel has 1 higher magic stat than strength, I thought it would be the opposite
Nomura just had an armor phase when KH2 came out because he loved the judges in FF12 which came out the same year. I'm pretty sure the phase had already passed by the time he actually made BBS, since the role of the armors got greatly scaled down and then forgotten after that.
Jaxon Myers
From what I understand Nomura was going to use the Organization robes for the BBS trio, and only used armor because the robes were a little overdone. Like you said, I think he never had much love for them because they really fade away as a concept after BBS
Jack Harris
X's plot is so much more interesting than anything involving Xehanort post-BBS. I'd be so down for a X remake.
Oliver Anderson
It's better than most games but worse than most KHs.
Henry Richardson
It sucks my dick. Feels good man. Can't quite make me finish though. Gonna have to wait for that DLC.
Benjamin Gutierrez
Don't think twice should've been the intro song. Not the retarded dubstep shit
Andrew Lopez
>people actually like this broad-shouldered cunty bitch literally how
Adrian Gonzalez
I like it, but I wish I loved it. Felt to me like a BBS or DDD rather than a KH1 or 2.
Jonathan Perry
What are the other characters (especially Roxas)?
Jayden Parker
I want to be lewd with Aqua!
Joshua Wright
I completely agree. Which shocks me because I played the KH mobile game when it first came out and I could not get into the story at all. Now I love it though I've never played it for more than an hour.
>It would be impossible to integrate stories like X and BBS into the narrative of the mainline games It would be perfectly doable by summing things up. That's like saying ffvii couldn't integrate the Zack shit into the maingame.
The gameplay was also not much of a step up from 2 but people don't vehemently try and defend that bullshit because they know they're wrong.
Lincoln Evans
I legitimately can't take Goat Xehanort seriously now that I know where his fucking head is.
Camden Mitchell
That's because it dripfeeds you the story between mountains of grindy filler. It's a terrible game but with a story that could be good in a different game where you actually play as one of the relevant characters and not some random literally who.
Ayden Bennett
Don't think that's true, otherwise he wouldn't bother with giving the armors to the players in KHUX
Hudson Thompson
Because robes are the Foretellers shtick
David Murphy
KH3 gameplay - bad KH3 story - even worse
Jack Gonzalez
Fuck off barry, KH3 gameplay shits on KH2
Camden Howard
Might get later tonight or tomorrow, one guy on twitter is doing photos and translations. We'll actually a couple of people are
Nolan Diaz
Because you already fought 13 of him in robes just before that. Armors weren't completely forgotten but it's just the middle phases of the final boss after all, like Xemnas.
Benjamin White
Darksides haven't discovered the power of friendship like Shadows have.
Ian Bell
>garbage game desperately gets bandaids I like that they're only adding content to the final battle, as if that shitshow mattered. Not the horrible disney worlds, floaty combat, and cutscene battles.
Samuel Adams
>wanting to play as losers like Ephemer and co >when they miss out on all the good fights by nature of who they are especially the Keyblade war itself Fuck off
Levi Murphy
They have to come up with new cosmetics for a gotcha game, user. And keyblade armors was something the playerbase (especially the whales) were clamoring for. I don't think that automatically means they'll bring them into KH4.
Chase Rodriguez
>trying to pass legitimate complaints off onto some autistic scapegoat again It absolutely does not
Chase Evans
Too little too late. As a hardcore Kingdom Hearts fanboy, KH3 left the most rotten case in my mouth.
>More stuff coming later
HOW ABOUT, hmm crazy thing, push back the release date and delay the game, SO EVERYTHING CAN RELEASE AT ONCE! :)
Charles Cooper
That's because KH3 is more of a sequel to BBS and DDD than it is to either KH1 or 2, as much as it shares DNA with the latter two.
Brayden Ross
>Person has a legitimate criticism of a game >FUCK OFF BARRY This is why people make fun of KH fans.
Jack Moore
>gameplay was also not much of a step up
that it even managed to be a step up from kh2 which was already among top 10 action games is a achievement dude. They added wildly different keyblades, keyblade weapon switching, air dodge and air guard all in all a good upgrade.
Lincoln Jenkins
I actually think the mobile game does a good job of making your player character important while also not plot critical.
Hudson Martin
No Enemy reaction commands, shallow summons/party limits. Keyblade forms are a noticeable step down from drive forms. I feel like every “option” is just a way to kill huge hordes of heartless with AOE damage, it's Musoushit of KH.
Unironically a decent song, people are just autistic and can't handle simple notes
Anthony Peterson
To add to this, KHfans constantly insist that there are no side games because Nomura doesn't actually treat them like one, so he's technically wrong anyways about not being able to put those plots in mainline games.
Jonathan Adams
Yeah, this is how I feel. I honestly wouldn't have minded if it came out in 2020 if we got a completed game with all of the shit they're going to add. I accepted FM versions back then, but now I'm less likely to accept them because I'm older and it's my fucking money I'm buying these games with.
Henry Diaz
>Keyblade is called Flame Liberator >His special attacks are called Firaga Cutter and Firaga Slicer
I love that they have details like this written down despite not showing anywhere in the game.
Michael Bell
I can agree with that. I didnt care for the magic system this time around either compared to the others
Isaiah Wood
It's not THAT bad, just a bit annoying. Worth it if it means we get more stuf like
>firaga variants Shit they arent forgotten? I thought that was a pretty neat in BBS
Lucas Perez
>KH3 left the most rotten case in my mouth pffft
Adrian Ross
see Tell me how that is legit criticism
Michael Reed
so what are the chances of this actually fixing the game's flaws i'm not expecting the second coming of 2fm but i'd like for it to be better
Leo Williams
That's kind of what it feels like to me too. I disagree with people saying it's the fights that are lacking rather than the core systems. I can't think of anything a Final Mix would add to make the game seem deep. So much of what you can do defaults to AoE damage, so the only really differences between most options come down to elemental weaknesses or how much time an ability (like Attractions) will give you for MP Charge. Meanwhile, the abilities that do have genuine, unique utility like Air Step, and certain transformations completely lack a cost.
Player is plot critical though, considering they sparked the war with their nightmare chirithy and are the whole reason Strelitzia is dead, also minor things like being the one to convince Ephemer mindwiping everyone was necessary
Brandon Baker
>I accepted having to buy a completely separate physical game to get extra content back then, but I can't accept DLC, including free DLC, in this age where every game gets DLC
You're retarded. Also Kingdom Hearts 3 is a complete game, it's the extra content which is lacking. Emphasis on EXTRA. It's exactly the kind of stuff that should be DLC. Be glad we got a complete core story at release, a lot of games these days don't give you that thanks to the "games as a service" meme.
Nicholas Rogers
Im assuming the 'side game' will be a Dream Drop Distance type game with Sora and Riku going through worlds (Sora in 'Dead Worlds' and Riku in 'Living' ones) trying to reunite
Jayden Barnes
gosh darn it kay ree
Evan Evans
KH3 is bad
Benjamin Gonzalez
I mean plot critical in the same way as the foretellers or the Union Leaders. Sorry, I thought that was super obvious.
Alexander Diaz
Okay, see
Cameron Rodriguez
>Be glad we got a complete core story at release Obviously not considering a bunch of plot points had to be clarified in the ultimania, and Nomura admitted there's a bunch of things he has to add that weren't in the vanilla release.
Jaxon Wilson
Everytime I see a post like this, I actually wonder if most KH fans on this website are underage.
Nathan Bennett
Who knows the chances of it, but its always possible. Like with everyone don't expect certain things to happen so your hopes aren't ruined and turn you salty, but realistically it is possible to make a critical mode that nerfs, strips or rebalances some of the extra mechanics. Also the critical mode itself being accompanied with an overall game patch for damage scaling
No point really speculating though, just wait until it releases and see what they decided to do with it
Noah Ward
No because Nomura is terrified at the idea of Sora seeing a vagina. I swear, it makes my blood boil when I think of how insulting Kairi was treated in this game.
the difficulty/critical mode existing is literally the thing i would care the least about being changed but yea we'll see i guess
Jayden Baker
That's how the card Luxord gave Sora will be relevant.
Aiden Moore
Firaga variants have been in pretty much all the games. CoM on GBA had Firaga Break, Homing Fira and Dark Firaga for example.
Kevin Hall
>Also Kingdom Hearts 3 is a complete game, There's going to be content that fills in the literal plot holes such as Xion's revival. It's FFXV all over again with the Brothers Episodes.

He also said that he was pleased with KH3's vanilla release.
Luke Thompson
It's a complete game, it's just a very obviously rushed one (somehow, despite having triple the dev time of every other game) and has some pretty big issues. It's not as jewish as the top jews yea, but I don't really think we should set the bar that low.
Jordan Wood
And a whole bunch of plot points for KH1, KH2 and BBS were answered in their respective Ultimanias. Does that make those games incomplete?
Hudson Evans
They claim they aren't going to do a FM release, but that sounds like bullshit. I'm not sure if I should sell my copy or not.
Owen Ortiz
Personally I don't even give a fuck about balance or whatever for critical mode, I just want them to finish implementing the systems they did give us. 5 attractions and the paltry sum of link attacks and trinities is worthless, no cool non elemental spells and some formchange copy pastes are downright insulting as well.
Daniel Roberts
>waited 17 FUCKING years just to see them kiss ONCE >NEVER FUCKING HAPPENS FUCK YOU NOMURA YOU BLUE-BALLING GOOK PIECE OF SHIT
Have you ever played a video game before? All games are "missing" stuff the creators wanted to add but didn't. KH3 is nowhere near as guilty of that as KH2, where like two dozen cutscenes had to be added in Final Mix because vanilla didn't even show the villains interact or what happened to important side characters.
Sebastian Ramirez
I can't tell if this is real or not and that both saddens and disturbs me.
Grayson Jenkins
>Musou shit Nailed it perfectly. KH3 is a "turn off you brain and mash X" then "press triangle to do le epic flashy finisher to win" kind of deal. It looks awesome and is kinda fun, but there's literally no depth or substance at all.
Kevin Anderson
what will most likely happen is it'll be either a $20 or a $40 dlc for people who own the game and there'll be a FM physical release that seems to be the trend for updates like this nowadays
Xavier Roberts
What were they? I bet you're all just retarded and didn't understand basic shit spelled out in the game.
Jace Diaz
so i guess kh2 and its fm version are not complete games either because tehy have open plot threads and in fact start completely in the middle of one with roxas. Damn you are stupid.
Andrew Garcia
KH3 doesn't explain how certain side characters are even there, and a few side characters don't have what happens to them explained.
Benjamin Jenkins
Xion's revival isn't a plot hole, it's explained in the reports and Nomura said in the interview that people should be able to figure out as it is, but that he will make it clearer in the DLC.
Elijah Fisher
I think it is said in the ultimania that after all dlcs are released they will release a new repack of the game, why would you sell and rebuy it instead of just buying the dlc?
>I can't think for myself Oh no the entire plot is ruined
Sebastian Harris
>Switch Spinoff Will it use the traditional battle system or the command deck system?
John Williams
HOLY SHIT our KH3 Kairi isn't real it was just a Chirity
Jack Turner
>it had a beginning and an ending >that means it's technically a complete story No, no it doesn't. Especially when so many plot points are haphazardly rushed through that there's still a massive section in the game where no one can fucking explain what happened.
Aiden Brooks
>Game doesn't explain things and has characters literally disappear off screen and never be mentioned again >This is good plot design
Carson Roberts
Oh so it's an MGSV deal where 99% of the plot details are locked away in recordings/codex. KH3 had a serious problem with plot details all game. Too many 30 minute cutscenes of characters standing around explaining or recaping what happened instead of SHOWING. Really, Nomura is such a hack.
I didn't say shit about the flaws being in the plot, the plot makes sense it's just very badly paced. Probably my main flaw for the game is the pacing of the gameplay for, you know,the game itself. Biggest example of that is how you finish the 20 minute BH6 world and then immediately go into graveyard with no real world to go through. I think people found something about scala being a full world orginally, would make sense seeing as it's got a full theme but you hear it for like 5 seconds
Parker Johnson
Maybe if Xehanort tried a little hard, we could have had a norttide
Kevin Lee
Yes.
Matthew Foster
uwotm8? Chirithy's can't change shape.
Oliver Jackson
I mean they could always do it different this time to be kind to fans and their money right?
Carson Garcia
It's literally FFXV. Entire chunks of the game are missing and fans left wondering what happened so they added in DLC that explains parts of it. KH3 is just taking a page from Tabata. A rotten, dirty, useless page, but a page nonetheless.
Jose Ramirez
Ansem has riku body. Otheriwse this is correct.
Asher Allen
>It's not a complete story >But I can't really explain why Nice I'm guessing if you listed off things that "aren't explained" people would be able to patiently explain how you're not paying enough attention.
Alexander Parker
THIS GAME BLOWS ASS
Brandon Rogers
Name ONE thing that isn't explained in KH3.
You not having the IQ to pay attention doesn't mean it's not explained.
See for example, we figured out exactly how this worked before it was confirmed by the Ultimania today. But I bet what happened with Terra is one of the "plot holes" you're thinking of. Roxas is explained, Xion is explained, they're all explained either in cutscenes or the reports.
The only loose end is where Lingering Will went, which isn't really a big deal for such a minor character.
Cameron Harris
>where like two dozen cutscenes had to be added in Final Mix because vanilla didn't even show the villains interact That's literally just filler though? It's nothing but fanservice for people who like the characters. >what happened to important side characters. Not sure who you're talking about.
Ryan Rogers
Darkside's usually just fought at the start of the game. Demon tide's all over the fucking place in 3
Jeremiah Parker
t. barry
Luke Bennett
>It's literally FFXV. No, the game sold well at launch and told a complete story user.
Cooper Williams
Yes, plot details are locked away in reports, like in every single Kingdom Hearts game since the first one, dumbass. If the reports didn't have plot details in them, what would even be the point in collecting them?
Samuel Morales
Is KH2 Sora stronger than KH3 Sora?
Adrian Gonzalez
What open plot threads? List them, and we're talking vanilla here so your BBS setup scenes in FM don't count. >inb4 secret ending Non-fucking-canon, just a concept video.
Jack Anderson
Ventus has the most fun gameplay and bosses, but has the weakest story Aqua is broken as fuck but is as interesting personalitywise as a block of wood Terra is slow as fuck but has a kino final boss and is STRONK
Josiah Bell
People really need to stop deflecting to KH2 with all the revisionism. KH2FM didn't cover any plot holes. In fact most of what was added was just villains repeating what you already know happened. It's not like KH3 where you literally have no idea what the fuck happened to Xion and have to go diving into supplementary material just to figure it out.
Isaiah Mitchell
>CONSTANT build-up of Kairi becoming a competent Keyblade weilder in the last few games. >Abducted yet again and "killed" for no reason other than shock value and to shove in a forced as fuck bittersweet ending >To add even more insuly, her killer gets to fuck off to the afterlife with his BFF while Sora sacrifices her existence for her, thus making her all alone again At least Kairi finally became a party member for a few seconds, so maybe if Nomura doesn't stay butthurt about Hayden Panettiere not coming back, she possibly has a small chance at redemption?
>complete story So did FFXV according to your logic. But the fact remains that KH3 is now doing episode DLC content to fill in the gaps... just like FFXV!
Christopher Fisher
>Secret reports have been a thing in the franchise since the first game Tell me user, if they don't have plot details what should they have?
Michael King
Cavern of Demontide DLC where you get to fight the data forms of the 13 Demon Tides. 1. Demon Tide but you get to play a shitty rail shooter in the middle of the fight 2. Demon Tide but get to mash triangle while he snipes at you from a distance. If you attempt to form change during this fight you get anti form because fuck you. 3. Demon Tide but it summons a dragon to fire a mega particle cannon at you. 4. Demon Tide but if you stand still for too long your data will be downloaded and Data-Demontide will be summoned to 1shot you. Also Demontide 4 has armor because that is a great mechanic. 5. The powerlevel of Demontide's attacks increases as the fight goes on. This would be fine - if you had reflect. You do not have reflect. You have Hero's Origin. 6. Demontide but Donald and Goofy are books now. 7. Demontide but somehow it gives even less of a fuck when you land a hit. Berserker Paddles are scattered all over the arena but infuriatingly you can not use them because reaction commands do not exist. Attraction Flow exists but in this fight its always the merry-go-round. 8. Demontide but the floor is lava. 9. Demontide but you lose instantly if you fail to kill 100 music notes in 40 seconds. 10. Demontide but you start the fight as a 6-sided die. 11. Demontide but it keeps on putting you in a rose cage. 12. Demontide but it can make up to 5 copies of itself. 13. Demontide but darker and edgier.
>So did FFXV according to your logic. No, FFXV had an incomplete story. Your assumption is silly.
Cameron Clark
Can you name a plot hole from KH1 that needed a secret report to understand at the time, user?
Anthony Lewis
Explain the events from Terranort buttsmashing everyone to Lingering Chad saving them after the non explained time loop.
Brandon Hughes
I'll give you one example. At the start of the game, DiZ tells Riku to kill Namine. The next time we see or hear anything about Namine, she breaks Kairi out of prison at the end of the game. What happened in between is never brought up.
>What was incomplete about it? I'm still waiting to hear what was incomplete about KH3's story, I've only heard very vague statements saying "it was bad"
Andrew Long
So obviously Riku didn't kill her? He was having issues with DiZ's instructions the whole time but did it to wake Sora up, once that was done he saw no need to listen to that revenge addled asshole anymore.
Dylan Martinez
the issue with that is that you presume i anyone cares about kairi become a "strong independant waman" i dont, sorry.
Nicholas Young
Uh.. well... the bad part was... uh... SEETHE, COPE HAHA

That's stupid. Clearly the trailer used an older model because even KH3 Kairi artwork has them.
>The whole game is bad because I don't understand Xion Vexen made a replica for her, they were even discussing this. Also that's like, 1 minute of plot out of 40+ hours.
Which ansem is the one hidden in the coat that goes back to YX?
Lincoln Sanchez
>As a researcher and ruler of his world, he studied the Heartless and delved into the many secrets of the worlds. While studying the heart and the darkness within it, he was possessed by darkness and ultimately destroyed his own world. He sacrificed his body to attain great power, and later possessed Riku's to regain a physical presence. Failure to stop him means the end of all worlds.
Next?
Luke Gutierrez
Why did you skip the cutscene where Riku lets Axel and Namine go.
Isaac Anderson
>Also that's like, 1 minute of plot out of 40+ hours. user these people aren't trying to be logical or reasonable about their hate. Nobody will give good reasons why the plot is bad. >tfw had someone at college tell me that KH3 sucked because Sora and Riku didn't get together
Gavin Cox
Nothing's really incomplete just some loose ends. The gameplay is pretty incomplete though.
Thomas Peterson
Multiple major characters in FFXV suddenly disappear from the story and often die offscreen, and large chunks of plot were cut out to be sold as DLC later in the form of the episodes. Oh, and the entire prologue was cut as well.
At no point in KH3 does Goofy run off on some secret mission that you never get to hear about. At no point are you told that some of the Xehanorts were already killed offscreen. KH3 never had trailers showing X Back Story in gameplay form as the prologue of KH3 which was then turned into a movie and cut from the game.
There is no comparison between these.
Bentley Garcia
I never said the whole game is bad. Why are you putting words in my mouth? I'm just saying it's incomplete, hence the need for DLC. Just like FFXV.
Julian Martin
To the past, to educate 5 retards in the way of the keyblade.
Jayden Long
Eat shit smashfaggot.
Ryder Gutierrez
buy it or fuck off underage idiot.
Jonathan Ramirez
That's FM only, dipshit.
Dylan Kelly
>More vague statements Ok
Tyler Walker
Why is she the only one with them? After DDD we know Nomura uses the character's clothes as plot devices. Also why didn't she have a heart when Xehanort killed her? It's a big Nomura ruse
Mason Martin
You wouldn't know this by simply playing the game without reading the journal, retard.
Bentley Murphy
>It's incomplete One confusing detail doesn't mean it's incomplete, user.
Dylan Smith
>KH3 never had trailers showing X Back Story in gameplay form as the prologue of KH3 which was then turned into a movie and cut from the game. Not really a good comparison considering you need to play 5 literal-who side games in addition to the gachascam mobile game to understand all the relevant plot points.
Hudson Allen
So Kingdom Hearts 2, the darling of the series is incomplete garbage too?
Jordan Davis
Because, you fucking retard, that's exactly what Final Mix added, which is my entire point.
Henry Evans
Uh, Leon and the others directly talk about Ansem and who he is. So that's not true.
Carter Scott
Actually you would, Leon literally spells it out for you when you talk to him in Hollow Bastion.
Henry Lewis
Because KH is a series of games with pre-established characters yet XV is supposed to be a standalone game which introduces the entire cast.
Blake Long
That entire chart is just for the Terra/Xehanort relationship. You could expand it massively if you add all the other Xehanort versions.
Joshua Gray
I already posted what's probably my biggest complaint with the game mechanically in . It's not 0/10 shit game but it was fairly mediocre.
>tfw had someone at college tell me that KH3 sucked because Sora and Riku didn't get together To be honest they have better chemistry than Sora and Kairi. This is a joke, in case anyone spergs.
William Collins
Sorry that you weren't paying attention like an idiot, Barry.
>DLC added in to cover an obscure detail that 99% of people didn't get Sounds incomplete for me. Also I guarantee you we'll get more DLC or a FM to flesh out the story. Sorry, but it's FFXV all over again.
Wyatt Wood
Just wanted to say that you're completely correct. Congrats on being more right than the people you're arguing against.
Adrian Cruz
No, because
Asher Martin
There's nothing about mechanical complaints there, it's just pacing issues.
Jaxson Walker
What a fucking idiot holy shit.
Pre-established characters from secondary games yet most of whom play a minor-intermediate role in KH3. When your game spends hours of cutscenes recapping shit from side games you know you fucked up somewhere.
>There's nothing about mechanical complaints there there's no final world equivalent to hollow bastion/end of the world/twtnw that's my complain
Jaxson Stewart
Many of the details about Ansem are only in the reports. You are never told by the story itself that he separated his heart from his body, for example. But whatever, not going to be pedantic and argue this further.
Charles Miller
>When your game spends hours of cutscenes recapping shit from side games you know you fucked up somewhere. Could be worse, you could fail to establish and give resolutions to most of your cast like in XV
Matthew Wilson
XV was complete they just felt the need to purposely cut story content and sell it as DLC Who knows maybe this was cause Nomura probably wanted multiple spinoffs or some shit when he was jerking off during the project for all those years but kh3 still feels incomplete and rushed m.youtube.com/watch?v=nj_IlWwhJcE Also lol
holy fuck this, we could've had another SJW twitter or Donald Trump thread
Ian Parker
Why do you call me Barry and then shit on KH3 yourself like he does? Are you confused?
Luke Cook
a large number of people hate Kairi and would like to see Sora romantically involved with literally anyone else - even homo end with Riku is preferable to Kairi. stop using spoilers the game has been out for a month faggot
Camden Sanders
Could be even worse, you could fail to establish and give resolutions to your main characters like in KH3.
Levi Hill
>You are never told by the story itself that he separated his heart from his body, for example. I wanna say this isn't true, but I don't actually know for certain.
Henry Ross
This.
Aiden Morales
Because the details like him finding the keyhole are unnecessary. He was a mad scientist doing studies on darkness of the heart, eventually he became the heartless that possesses Riku. It's all there in the plot, no secret reports necessary.
William Williams
Because you haven't even played KH1 and are trying to act like you have only to have everyone laugh at you.
So either you're Barry or a literal retard. Pick your poison.
