Kingdom Hearts III Pre-Release Spoiler Discussion Thread

[Grono]

Ahyuck, OK, "marketing" drought. I remember when they were doing cast releases for this game. I remember when it seemed like they might do little featurettes on every world like the Tangled one. I saw more advertisements on YouTube for Utada Hikaru's Hatsukoi using KH3 footage than I have for KH3 itself. There's a lot they could be doing to push this game right now, especially since it comes out in three weeks.

They put out a lot of trailers last month, so I'm satisfied. I think it's odd that there's still so many renders that haven't been released, though.

I'll take this so-called "drought" over the nearly nothing we learned up to the orchestra trailer in 2017. That period between the original trailer, the 2014 luminous engine trailer, and the actual unreal engine trailer was torturous back in the day, and I'm more than satisfied with the promotion this year. It's way amped up, and I've heard lots of people talking about it outside of these forums on gaming websites. This will probably sell a lot better simply because of its name. I'm shocked by the amount of people that I've met with an Xbox One that are buying the game despite not playing any titles since KHII. For a huge amount of people, it's worth it, and that's super cool since I always thought that KH was such a nichw franchise.

We're still missing renders for so many characters. What's the hold up Square?

Especially since Skytree seems to be showing off all of the organization renders.

New Video Out on his YT 12 mins of twilight town. It's very clear he's not great at the game he press the block button maybe 5 times and missing the timing on each one. It's also going to be interesting since there are no RC in KH3 dealing with certain nobodies. Oh GOD THE DANCERS! OH GOD!!!!!!!!!

I watched the twilight town vid. The portal battles look insanely fun, and it looked like the leaker was having a difficult time beating it. That Sorcerer boss tho, looks awesome!!!

 

[UltimaXOmega]

Twilight Town is confirmed 1/3 of the size of KHII. Wow. And he said Keyblade Graveyard is the same size.

 

[Recon]

The detail in Twilight Town is amazing! The changes are SO good. That boss with the blocks is crazy. Looks mildly infuriating. Also, MERLIN was shown!

Disappointing:

-The red line in Twilight Town tram commons apparently takes you back to the world map. I was really looking forward to visiting the station and The Usual Spot again.

-Curaga doesn't seem to restore full HP at Level 45ish, and that concerns me a tad.

Exciting:

-Waterga/Waterza is gorgeous and looks so fun to use.

-Twilight Town is packed with life.

-The Starlight finisher is gorgeous beyond belief.

Interesting:

-Seems like you can't heal or be healed in Rage Form, just like Anti.

-Attraction Flow don't make you invincible.

-The revive coin the leaker was whining about has to be purchased, only works once, and based on how items work in KH I'm gonna gamble it has to be equipped. Not to mention it only works on Sora and doesn't restore his MP?

-Sniper and Sorceror nobodies are back, and they were honestly kicking the leaker's ass. No more warp snipe command to deal with the Snipers easily, and Sorceror seems to have gotten some stunlock added.

Original worlds were expanded in a 2 year development 3DS game but cut by 70% in the biggest title yet.

As far as him getting his but kicked he tried blocking all of 5 times only to miss the timing and get his but handed to him. And he's on proud so who know maybe you heal less.

It wasn't just his failures at blocking, those enemies were hitting hard and frequently not letting up. Also, that battlegate was only 2 stars of difficulty out of 3 and he is Level 45ish. Now leaker claims that he's always played on Proud Mode so he's just "used to the difficulty" and that the game is pretty easy. But based on the evidence of all of his vids so far, I can only come away with two possible impressions.

First, he's just bad at the game in general but did a decent enough job muddling through. This possibility means the game may, in fact, be kinda easy.

Second, he's telling the truth about being a seasoned Proud Mode player and is just more aggressive than defensive in playstyle, in which case it seems he exaggerated how easy the game is.

Looks like Merlin, Huey Dewy, and Louie have relocated to twilight town.

Over the leaked, Twilight town looks still large and most importantly detailed.

 

[Nukara]

Although, as far as I understood, it’s impossible to get to the tower and the station?

 

[notnow123487]

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t fully recreate twilight town?

 

[5kyLegend]

Man, what happened? Are original worlds REALLY going to get shafted this much? Twilight Town was the last hope for me So far, this is what I noticed:

- Glowing walls are still as annoying as ever, and even tree branches manage to casually glow as you walk by. Ugh.
- I was overly excited by the possibilities that the wall running would open up, but it really does seem that, besides the buildings you could walk on top of in KH2, they put invisible walls all over the place.
- It's. So. SMALL. Seriously, am I seeing things? Is this literally it? Forest/mansion, a very small section of the underground and the main plaza? Did we seriously get a bigger Twilight Town in Days on the DS? This is some of the worst news we got from the leaks so far, I think, and given what we can gather from the rest... I'm almost sure they ended up scrapping the small game play section in Yen Sid's tower (which would only make less sense given this game's load times with such a small area) and made it cutscene only.

I'm just very, very disappointed, and this isn't one of the leaker's cryptic messages, this is straight up game footage. I was super hyped to wallrun up the clock tower in Twilight Town, but... I guess it will have to be for another game, if ever No sandlot, no usual spot, no seven mysteries revisit...

It’s a bit disappointing to see how cheap the coin is. Seems like you could easily break the game

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t fully recreate twilight town?

I don’t see why they would need to.

There is probably not going to be a lot going on in Twilight Town besides the occasional exposition dump. The most important characters we would see would be Hayner Pence and Olette, the other characters are from FF games. It kinda sucks that it does not have more areas but they are not really necessary.
