KH3D Livestreams, Comprehensive Impressions, and Playthroughs!

[sonickenshin]

BBS pushed the plot forward more than any games so far. Just sayin'

Nomura himself stated BBS is kind of KH0. And KH3D should have been KH3, given a new form of Xehanort is the main antagonist.

Ok, first off, BBS is an origin story correct? It only tells about whatever situation spiraled the events in Kingdom Hearts and....kind of sort of fill in holes that the other games failed to mention (but could have, with a few exceptions). It doesn't push the main story any further than it was at the end of KHII, besides hinting on what the letter says and giving Sora an excuse to save these guys.

Two things:

1. There has not been been one spin off game (Days and ReCoded don't completely count)

Fine.

2.Since when has the the keyblade been this special weapon to only a few people? That has been expanded upon after KH1. Sephtoth1812 said it himself

I wasn't trying to imply that. Lea had a weapon that made him and his Nobody unique. A pretty cool weapon, mind you. And well....he's got a Keyblade now, so....it kind of stops him from being unique. But, meh.

And the "Make KH3!!!" ideas are stupid. They have to build KH3 up. Do you want another slight plot blunder like in KH2? They didn't have much to work with in KH2, they do now with KH3, and that makes me happy. I can expect something fantastic.

I dunno, they definitely had a lot more to work with than they put, and you don't really have to look any further than the side games to prove that, especially when some could have been done in...what? 1 - 3 cutscenes instead of separate games? That would have done KHII all the difference. :|

I suspect that we will have a tutorial obligatory lv 1 character intro segment in KHIII at the start of the game and it will be Kairi and/or lea we control.

Looking at what 3D set up, I almost feel that this time there is TOO much material to use for one game to adequately explore without rushing through it.

Well, Nomura did say KH3 is only the end of the Xehanort saga. Anything they don't use now they can use later. And since this will most likely be a PS3 game, they'll have a lot of room to work with right? *not completely sure on average data space*

But having a lot of material to work with is much better than having barely any at all. All they had for KH2 was that Sora was asleep due to some organization. Riku was helping Sora wake up along with Namine. And.... what else? Did we even know that the org were Nobodies back then?

Now, we have a bunch of people to save, Sora's keyblade mastery, Kairi and Lea training, Ven sleeping, Aqua trapped in the dark realm, Terra's whereabouts currently uncertain and unknown, an Org composed of Xehanorts seeds to defeat, Xehanort to kill, Xion to figure out? Roxas to.... I don't even know.

Anyway, lost of stuff to work with.

If they make any games after KH3, i feel that it wont be as good. MX was one badass villian. It's gonna be hard to live up to that.

Who says there needs to be a villain? They can be facing more natural evils now. Like the Realm of Darkness itself or something or other.

 

[Sora2016]

I'm thinking that beating Critical Mode unlocks something extra, it must. Or else why would they have critical mode unlockable? All the past games that had Critical Mode, it was available from the start. Never unlockable. Kinda pisses me off, cause i want to start the game on Critical, because the other modes never pose a challenge for me.

But, i really hope there is extra stuff in Critical Mode (somehow)

The only thing I know of so far is that there is a trophy for beating it on Critical. Though I assume there are more rewards

It's not an if, it's a when. Nomura already said KH III won't be the end.

Unless he changes his mind, of course.

 

[El Coqu?]

Did i miss the secret ending???

 

[pumpkinhead]

Yeah, but it's up in the ending thread.

 

[OathkeeperRoxas XIII]

Did i miss the secret ending???

Here you go. Take it with a grain of salt

 

[Forsaken Shadow]

Geez, I thought Nomura said they were "doing something different" with the secret ending? Oh well. Gotta wait for those translations, there's probably something important in those conversations between Mickey and Yen Sid.

Fingers crossed for more, though.

 

[El Coqu?]

Good im happy with this Secret Ending

1) Kairi can possibly get more character development so she is no longer useless
2) We will now have ENOUGH keyblade wielders/masters to combat Xehanort. Im happy with this so thats enough said lol. Its not as awe and glamour cause the BBS one was but still pretty good

 

[Theart]

Geez, I thought Nomura said they were "doing something different" with the secret ending?

I'm pretty sure that none of the other secret endings were unlocked via a hidden mini-game that is literally played during the credits.

 

[iLeen]

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this, but Master Xehanort1690 of KH13 posted some translations of the conversation between Riku and YMX in TWTNW in their forums:

Spoiler Show

Hey guys I found this translation between Riku and the Unknown on youtube. Read it from top to bottom.

1

Sora!

Don't touch the new vessel

Vessel?

Yes. At first i wanted to make you the vessel

But you had resistance to darkness in your heart

So like the keyblade, i chose the next one

Roxas- an existance thats qualified to be the vessel

But he got a nuisance self, and returned to Sora


2

Organization 13's original objective was to split xehanort's heart into 13 bodies

I know that because of you guys a few vessels will fail

But that was also replaced

By getting hold of Sora who will become the 13th vessel, it will be completed

13 xehanort(s)?

the real Organisation 13

Organisation 13?

3

I am the most past(first) xehanort around here

From the 'me' of this time, my mission was to gather all the 'me' from different world that were separated and fused(with the vessels?)

From the past?

To pass through time, there are a few restrictions

To first pass, one must abandon their body

To where you're heading your past mus be there

After reaching, time will only go at one direction

Things that happen at that time cannot be changed

4

Soon the latest xehanort will return here

When that happens, each person's time will return respectively

I will have to obey the time flow(?) of my time

You should just ask him

Stop Gun(???)

Looks like i made it in time

Anyway lets quickly get Sora and head back

5

I can't stop it for long

I got it!

I said not to touch (sora)

Why can you move?

It can't be! That's!

Disappear!

From what I can gather YMX is simply MX from a different timeline, so he's a completely different entitly as I pretty much thought. He went to different timelines to gather all the different Xehanorts, which pretty much explains why Xemnas and Ansem SOD are back. YMX also originally intended to choose Riku to be the last vessel of Organization 13, but his resistance to darkness made him choose Sora instead. The true organization 13 was mainly meant to consist of all Xehanorts. I hope this helps guys!

So YMX is technically YMX...right? Then it is appropriate to call him YMX now?

I watched the subbed videos from KH13.

I take many things back. I thought the series would go to hell simply because the story was all over the place. The scenes I first saw of the end game seemed to support that, with all kinds of things going on, on top of that, Lea getting a keyblade and whatnot (I still don't like that btw.) And then time travel, of all things. Like it needed any more confusion. And then I actually rewatched some scenes subbed.

Somehow, inexplicably, they tied it together. I still have to watch the rest of the subbed scenes, but from the first TWTNW scene, the pre Xemnas one and the pre YMX one, they managed to create a new look on the whole story while actually making it make sense! Oh, don't worry, I don't think this story is the "best thing evah," but for the most part, it now has a ground. Time travelling, which we all thought (if implemented) would create more disarray, seems to have done the exact opposite. I wonder, where do we go from here?

Also, this simply can't be left as a 3DS game, the info it contains is simply too important to be missed by a lot of people. I can guarantee that we will see a port of it on PSN or something in the next few years while KH3 is being developed.

 

[Sephiroth0812]

KH13 already has subbed cutscenes?

Are they in order or just some random ones from the endgame subbed?

0_o

 

[leonidus]

Go here. Videos are slowly being subbed one by one.

Many thanks, I'll bookmark this.

Already posted this in the ending thread, but here's the secret ending subbed:

Now that's it's properly confirmed, I guess yes :/But there's still the problem of saying YMX outside of the spoiler section and people putting two and two together.

In comparison to the whole other boatload of spoilers we now have (i.e. Lea's Keyblade, Kairi now training as a Wielder, the Xehanortification of Organization XIII, MX's rather meticulous time-travel scheming, etc.), I'd say that the accidental confirmation of what was already pretty obvious is a pretty minor concern.
