Kingdom Hearts III Pre-Release Spoiler Discussion Thread

While I'm sad some parts of TT arent represented I would hesitate to call the world 1/3 of the size. Especially since many of the cut "rooms" did not really add to the overall space. Not visiting the usual spot and train station is a bummer but the world we got was so beautiful and fleshed I can handle the smaller size. Though it was weird how Merlin was just out in the open with the book. Doesn't seem very well protected there.

I mean he's a wizard with magic pretty sure he'd just blast whoever tried to nab it.

Also does it bug anyone else just how many ! He has on the menus? Considering he mentioned in one post that he thought they were annoying from 2 wouldn't he try to make them go away? It doesn't take much just s quick check.

Wow, people completely forget the size of other worlds due to Twilight Town being smaller than expected.

I don't really care if they cut some areas because TT is not really my favourite world and those cut areas are not that needed either. I'm more upset by the fact that

Scrooge, Merlin and the others are there. TT as the hub world is just awkward and forced to me. I like TT because it's a rather dull and boring town with a mysterious side (Old mansion and Yen Sid's tower). It's a town for "normal" people like Hayner, Pence and Olette and a special place (and probably future home) for Roxas, Axel and Xion. Now it just seems like a bad copy of Traverse Town. Maybe I'll change my mind when I play the game, but I'm convinced that Radiant Garden was really robbed.

The marketing for this game is so weird. It's only 3 weeks until the game comes out and I feel like most people outside of fans don't even know. They did these fun short clips for the new Tomb Raider and uploaded them almost every day to show off different features and locations of the game. I expected something similar with KH3. Oh well...

 

[Lovesponge]

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

Did he really say that or are you just assuming this?

Also fun to see that

the NPC's actually talk and live their lives. I was afraid that they were just standing there doing nothing.

I do actually really hope that you don't get

glide too soon in the game. It's great for exploring worlds you have already visited but if you have it soon I can believe you don't enjoy the environment as much as you could have.

 

[Scala's Hope]

Do you think Data Twilight Town might have more areas? They were going there in the story after all.

 

[Scala's Hope]

How do you think we get to Mysterious Tower?
It's not cut, since they revealed its world logo only THREE WEEKS ago

 

[Darkspawn]

The lack of other areas in Twilight Town is disappointing. They at least could have let us run up the hill to the station.

Would it have been too much to ask for some kind of base of operations for Merlin? If he’s training Kairi and Lea, it’s really weird that he’s just chilling out in the open like that.

Maybe, but it doesn’t look like you can’t enter the Mansion since there isn’t a zone line on the map at the entrance.

I just noticed something incredibly shocking..........Sora has normal sized shoes

…You just now noticed this after 3 and a half years since his outfit reveal? No offense.

Who wants to bet that SE wanted to recreate Twilight Town, but switching engines cost them time to do so?

I mean, you can buy the KHIII shoes at Thinkgeek, and let me tell you that they are NOT normal sized. Comparatively, yeah, but they still have that huge toe bump like he's hiding a bomb in them.

 

[ZJGamer]

The most iconic area of Twilight Town is the train station...and you can't visit it?! REALLY?! NOMURA REALLY?! What were you thinking?! Larger worlds my ass, this is ridiculous. So Radiant Garden gets the shaft, Destiny Islands get the shaft, the scale of Scala ad Caelum's playability is questionable, and now Twilight Town has been downscaled?! Like what were they doing with this game since 2013?!

 

[Darkspawn]

The battlegates look amazing though. It’s awesome how that Sorceror was basically a miniboss itself. These are going to be tough on Critical. I also love that you unlock selfie poses by completing these, along with the synthesis material and the secret report.

Thinking about it some more, I think I’ll get over the size of the original worlds when I play the game, tbh. I’m going to be too enthralled by what is there to worry about what isn’t.

 

[Elysium]

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

I don’t see why they would need to.

I don’t see why the world returned [I]at all[/I] beyond cutscenes with the mansion/clocktower. But they did inexplicably decide to make it the hub instead of what anyone rational would think is the obvious choice (Radiant Garden), so I guess I can understand why people expected it to be larger than it is. I didn’t like Twilight Town in the first place, so it doesn’t bother me.

I can not believe that Twilight Town is so small. We also know that Realm of Darkness is very small and it seems that Keyblade Graveyard is too. What to expect from Scala ad Caelum at this point? Honestly, a real ruin. KH3 has 12 worlds but 3 of the originals seem to end up being a joke and our only hope now is Scala. It should be called "Kingdom Hearts Disney", because it seems that all the attention is in those worlds

 

[Scala's Hope]

We still don't know how to reach Mysterious Tower (which is confirmed, since they revealed the world logo only 3 weeks ago) , so there might still be another area to TT. In the save menu they named the area the leaker was in "The Neighbourhood / The Old Mansion " , and I feel like if there was only one map to it all, they wouldn't have needed to name the area itself as that?

Two things can happen:


1. The tower is not part of this world
2. It is part of this world, but like Station Heights (I remember that this area has been seen in some images) they can only be visited temporarily

In relation to the name of the area now although everything is part of a large area it still maintains its individual name

 

[Scala's Hope]

Station Heights (I remember that this area has been seen in some images)

Do you have the source? I wouldn't mind being temporarily accesible over not having it at all. I would just make a save point for it.
If it is a different world, it DOESN't show in the story world list, which opens up fun possibilities for partially explorable places
