Kingdom Hearts III Pre-Release Spoiler Discussion Thread

[sorawild]

If he doesn't spoil the story soon all his thunder will be gone since the Japs are 100% gonna stream the entire game as soon as it comes out in Nippon. They did it when both BBS and DDD came out and they are most certainly gonna do it again.

So... do people want him to post actual major story spoilers? Because it seems like every instance there's even the slightest implication he'll post a true story spoiler (and doesn't), people want to jump down his throat and accuse him of going against his word. Tbh, I personally respect him for actually upholding his word thus far and not giving into the pressure of a very vocal part of this fandom who actually wants story spoilers. If I remember them correctly, what he's actually shown has consistently been within the boundaries he's set, and the one or two instances he believed he did make a story spoiler in video or picture, he removed it. He has a consistent track record with his leaked videos and screenshots. I just don't see any reason he'd suddenly be petty after something that's already happened to him several times now (the words of his response we're actually extremely vague, if he wanted to post story spoilers there's no reason he wouldn't make that blatantly clear beforehand since it'd likely get him more attention anyway). But if that's what people want to believe then that's fine, but there's no reason to go making assertions about other's motives or intentions as if your ideas are fact (and I don't mean specifically the people on this forum, no one will ever know that unless they're made explicitly clear by his own words or actions), or at the very least phrase it that way, without precedent and a strong reason to believe so (which I've personally yet to see from anyone making accusations). That'll probably be my only word on the matter, but better to express one's opinion than to internalize it (reffering to myself btw).

The juicy thing the leaker showed was Riku vs Demon Tower again. This time with him actually fighting it. Turns out the spoilery part of it is that Anti Aqua shows up during the fight, meaning its a double boss.

EDIT: Oh, My mistake. The actual juicy thing is the full Sora vs Aqua fight.

After watching it, I'm a bit confused. Didn't the leaker say that spoilers happen as the fight progresses?

 

[Darvandark]

Does anyone else get more than a little nauseous watching his gameplay? During the recent Arendelle video it felt like he was fighting with the camera so much that I got headaches just trying to see where he even was. Most of it wasn't even helpful. I would have expected it for a "look at this view" or a visual cue of where he wanted to go but damn.

 

[Leaferian]

TBH the dude doesn't seem to know where he is ever, minimap be damned. I think it'll be a lot less nausea inducing when we're actually playing and not just watching some dipstick sing his camera wildly as he does circles around himself.

"No help ever came."
"I wandered the shadows endlessly."
"Surely they've abandoned me." / "Shouldn't have abandoned me." (can't hear this one)
"I've waited for so long."

"Now you can share in the terror I felt."
"You don't know what true loneliness is."

Why is he such a consistent liar?

Spoilers as the fight happens. False
You can synhesize orichalcum+. False
Ultima is awesome, I have used it already. False
The extra boss is too easy (uses kupo coin) False
No disney bosses. False

 

[Darvandark]

He just posted a pic of the death screen and I'm curious what the retry means for the final death total. Especially the retry and prepare one.

Spoiler taggggggs! I know they're not big, but everyone has been using them, please use them as well.

 

[Darvandark]

I'll agree with my post needing tags as it was new information (arguably a spoiler but still new) but the other post lists things that have been heavily discussed out of tags to the point where most everyone drops them. Especially since most of it was intentionally vague.

Someone got a ps4 copy, if he leaks story stuff i'm out of the internet

lol you people love jumping on the "he's a liar!" train. He said there would be spoilers in the second half of the Aqua fight - if you rewatch the battle, at the end there is the "attraction flow" symbol on Aqua. That means he could have activated "something" on her, which could have easily been a small, in-battle cutscene with actual spoilers in it. He even said it in the YouTube comments when someone pointed out that "there are no spoilers": he replied that "there are reaction commands in the fight." This excites me a lot, because those extra commands (that seem completely optional) can make battles as cool as they were in KH2 by letting you trigger special phases or cutscenes in the fight.

Anyway, my point is: instead of just hating on the guy and always, always calling him a liar, pay a little more attention yourselves.

There was an Attraction Flow symbol a bit earlier too. It just gave him the Pirate Ship.

THE FREAKING SPOILER WAS "PIRATE SHIP".

 

[David/Vaddix]

I'm not too concerned about "deaths" that may or may not happen. KH uses a lot of biblical tropes and Sora is a savior archetype. The final battle in the Bible involves the savior raising the dead, so I'm guessing that is what will happen. Sora/Jesus, Xehanort/Antichrist, and Kingdom Hearts/Heaven (there's even a stairway!).

Just rewatched the video. No

reaction command popped up. The only things that he could use was Second Form, Rage Form, and the Pirate ship attraction flow.

This guy is just playing us into thinking there are spoilers.

Yes! Exactly! This leaker is an idiot.

5 days till KH3 releases in Japan, and it will be out noon time the 24th in America. I know Bizkit047 is doing a stream of it, so I'm really excited to watch it. With more copies circulating in English, guess we'll see if the game will leak soon or not.

 

[Squood!]

I have no idea why the leaker is attempting to treat an Attraction Flow icon as a spoiler. There's literally nothing spoilery about it.

 

[UltimaXOmega]

I love how Square delays KHIII and we still have to wait 4 days longer. Makes avoiding spoilers a living hell for half a week.

My thoughts on the new Aqua quotes (thank you to “Zul" for providing some of them):

“I wandered the shadows endlessly.”
“Until I reunited with and was saved/reassured by my closest friends who I'd actually already been fighting to reunite with up till that point before purposefully throwing myself back into the RoD in order assist said friends in once again saving the RoL.”
Doesn't sound like much "wandering" to me; more like she had a real goal and made a lot of progress with it.

And she totally wasn't last seen sitting down at the Dark Margin in the comfort of her new companion, being informed of her inevitable rescue & waiting for said rescue, all while seemingly dealing with no heartless until Ansem SoD showed up (and the writers totally didn't decide to strip her of her Keyblade because she would've been able to beat him otherwise, which would further contribute to how unnatural it feels).

How am I supposed to take that seriously? Like, I'm "seriously" trying to, but it just feels increasingly forced the more I hear her speak.

“Now you can share in the terror I felt.”
Umm, what “terror” if I may ask?

The terror of not knowing the fate of your friends? No, cause you said yourself that Terra would “beat his darkness”, and that you “hid Ven well” and he apparently “can't wake up unless I'm there with him.” Nevermind the fact that Terra himself reassured you that he and Ven were “safe in the outside world.” You were also told the RoL was continuing to be saved by Sora in your absence, and unless you baselessly doubted him/them, or believed someone who was actually lying (and therefore couldn't substantiate their claims) you shouldn't be under the impression that anything has changed much.

Perhaps you meant the terror of being attacked by these “dwellers of darkness”? Nooo, we've seen you outclass literally everything thrown at you since you first ended up in the RoD (defeating Red Eyes despite being vexed, confused, and caught off guard; soloing the Demon Tide despite the fact that you literally just struggled against it with an ally by your side; destroying Phantom Aqua [multiple times] despite being emotionally and physiologically prodded and ridiculed the whole time which you responded to with fervent refutation; etc.).

Maybe the terror of never being able to get out of the RoD? Nooo, because 0.2, Blank points, and this ↓

“Join me in the darkness!”
Truthfully, I cringed so hard when she said this.
So much for being there for being the “light shining in the darkness.” Ya know, the way Mickey and the others were supposed to find you in the first place?
This line implies that she's actively choosing to stay in the darkness (which I guess is the reason she hasn't left using a corridor). Why? Didn't she want to help her friends (specifically Ventus, who she promised to return to and wake up no matter what) in the RoL? Or does she only care about the fact that her other friends “abandoned her” (which, no matter how you look at it, was an assumption she was in no position to make given her previous interactions with them) despite the fact that Mickey explicitly told her it wasn't easy getting into the RoD? I just… don't understand. If she's clearly not in her right mind/not thinking rationally (which is likely the case at this point), and her motivations are based on exaggeration and hyperbole, then why am I supposed to care about her fall to darkness at all?

Someone else got the game. "CGInfernoBlast" is their name.

They showed part of the intro to Toy Box. More specifically, the commercial for Verum Rex.
