Dang now i'm going to have to put my Playstation 4 on Hold till next Year
i'm a bit miffed that it got delayed, but who cares we finally got a release date!
I'm fine with it getting pushed to early 2019... except we now should actually get a demo.
Like I said before, this is likely due to a larger polish being requested by early players. This is a good thing, but...
It stinks too. We all got hyped last summer with that 2018 reveal. Ah...
Erm, not to be ungrateful, but…

On a separate note, shall I have my name changed to Jerkilator now, despite getting Kairi and Lea at the Orchestra right?
All the people who said it wouldn't get delayed. That destroyed my hype. Oh well, back to Overwatch.
So on a separate note are we not getting the trailer shown at the Orchestra until E3?
I'd rather it get delayed than have a bunch of content cut and put into DLC.
I'm a bit upset that it releases 4 days earlier in Japan, though.

It just gets worse doesn't it lol.
OH MY DAYS, I LIVE IN THE TIMELINE WHERE I KNOW THIS GAME'S RELEASE DATE!
We finally know! A bit later than expected but we know! I'm hoping it is time well spent to tweak gameplay and other factors from the feedback of the premiere event.
So the YTers whining got the game delayed? Sigh.

Still a chance of getting it tonight. They confirmed there'll be a few trailers this week!
Look, i'm just happy to know when it's releasing. Granted it is disappointing that it's releasing next year, but it's only been delayed by a month or so. It isn't like we're waiting till next fall or anything.
I'm just dreading all the people on Twitter and Facebook being like "HAHA TOLD YOU IT WOULD GET DELAYED".
I'm actually fine with this.
I can wait longer. No biggie.
Honestly, I'm not really upset by the fact that it's been delayed. It's only 3 months later than we expected so really it's fine. Avoiding spoilers for 4 days is gonna be tough though.
Why people are griping about it on twitter is beyond me. We've waited 5 years (most of which I will guarantee were spent in pre-production) we can wait 3 more months....
Japan getting it early is caca poopoo peepee butt
A little saddened that Kingdom Hearts III got delayed to 2019, but no big deal. In fact, when compared to 2.8 which the latter got delayed to avoid competition from Final Fantasy XV in sales, here it was to refine polishing the graphics of the game and removing bugs from the fan feedback during the demos at the KH3Premiere event last month.
Can't wait for the trailer to come out during E3 and what new Disney worlds and characters were revealed.
Please let there be Frozen, Tangled, Jungle Book and Big Hero 6 characters shown in the new trailer.
Japan getting it early is caca poopoo peepee butt
I wish I lived in Japan even more than normal.
Lmaoooooo lmaoooo lol yeah I'm fine with this
I didn't expect it to be pushed to early 2019, but I have no problem with this, knowing the release date is honestly a blessing now xD
I won't lie and say that I am a little peeved at this. I mean, maybe I misread but they said it was definitely coming out this year. I don't know, I guess I'm just disappointed. At this point, I don't know if I can trust gaming companies when it comes to release dates and when they announce things. I mean, the fact that everyone was saying it was going to get delayed as mostly a joke and it actually did. It's a little embarrassing to be honest.
I understand things getting delayed is normal (movies get pushed back all the time) but I feel like this has been an issue for a while with gaming. Maybe there isn't a clear way for companies to know when exactly things will release but it is starting to get a little annoying. Announce dates and years when you know for sure when it'll be. Maybe I'm in the minority but I rather be in the dark and not know until YOU know for sure then be told something and then be disappointed later. Maybe I'm acting entitled I don't know. Maybe bugs and glitches happened. I'm not a developer so I don't know. I guess I can't help but be disappointed since I've waited this long.
Oh well, at least we know. I'm still getting the game regardless and it's a few more months anyway.

3 months later than we expected? I thought December was the soonest we saw this so it’s only a month difference for me.

so we getting the trailer tomorrow maybe?
The Pixar rat is in. Hopefully as a world.

Oh, I was under the impression it was either September or December. Either way, the point is it that it won't be that long.

A number of issues can come up, even last minute, when developing games. There's also speculation that they had to make a lot of changes from the feedback from the demo. I'm guessing they didn't account for that when releasing the 2018 release or underestimated how much they had to change. If it was just "bugs and glitches" it probably wouldn't have pushed the game back for 1-3 months or they could have just released a day-one patch.

He's just saying they'll talk about it at Youtube at E3.
Man, I'll be 30 years old next year! That's a bummer, that we won't have it this year...
Laughing my butt off about how people manage to whine and bitch about literally everything in the KH community.
Instead of being glad they probably actually cared about the feedback from the first impression event, they cry about like 1~3 months of delay that might give us a much better game. Delicious, really.

Holy SHIT calm down a little bit. They only released a window to begin with, and they announced the slight pushback more than half a year in advance of the game coming out, something some companies don't even have the courtesy of doing sometimes. Besides, it's literally in the first month of 2019 so it's really not that big of a deal. It could be waaaay worse, and so far Square Enix has been open and honest with us about it.
The only big mistake Enix made here is that they announced the game far too early, and Nomura admits that that was the case. If it was announced at D23 2014, I feel like this entire situation would be a lot different. If you look from the first Unreal Engine trailer, though, the game has only taken, like, 3-4 years? That's impressive for a universe of this size being entirely re-rendered.

You clearly don’t understand what development is like for any field in software. Software engineering will always have delays. It’s not like any other industry. The way problems come up in software development, there’s no way to accurately estimate production time like other industries like film. It’s just a completely different beast and there’s no way to control it. I would be grateful it’s only delayed a month.
I honestly dont know how to feel about this on one hand after the better part of a decade and a half we finally have a release date, on the other its not November, i just hope they announce some sort of collectors edition for it, il be content then

If it is actually a 3 month delay, that is serious. Balancing issues could have been easily patched but no, the YouTubers had to complain about everything.

Best. Reference. Of. The. Century.
So is it safe to assume Frozen was shown among the new worlds in the trailer?
Here's to hope we get trailers of Kingdom Hearts III not only at E3 but of course at Gamescom and especially Tokyo Game Show and Jump Festa this year. It still surprises me that Kingdom Hearts III has YET to make an OFFICIAL appearance at those events (Tokyo Game Show and Jump Festa).
The Pixar rat is in. Hopefully as a world.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ratatouile will be the third Pixar-themed world following Toy Story and Monster's Inc.

Haha please tell me more about how it’s a 3 month delay. It’s a one month delay.

Do we have confirmation there were new worlds in the trailer?

It seems a little pessimistic to blame the YouTubers for giving feedback - which is partly what they were invited to the Premier Event for in the first place. This push back to the beginning of 2019 would suggest that they may well have taken that feedback into account. Besides, can you imagine how many people would complain about them releasing the game with a butt-ton of balancing issues, and then proceeding to patch it a few days after, as opposed to delaying it while they tweak things before the release? They can't win either way, but this method at least will save them some flak.
We'll never know what their intended release date was now, and it's better to forget about it and save yourself a headache. This date is hardly a month after the end of 2018, and it's an actual date. We didn't have that before. Sure, it's a bit of a bummer that it's not 2018, but if this is what they need to polish the game off a bit more, then I'm more than happy to let them take their time.
Do we have confirmation there were new worlds in the trailer?
According to the OP
EDIT: nevermind Dandelion edited it. Apparently it was just new Disney characters.
Not surprised in the slightest, nor would I be if it ended up being delayed to around May or so. That's just how it is when it comes to software development.
I would expect some people to be surprised though considering how much they doubled down on 2018.
So are we getting that trailer tonight or should I go to bed now?

This is why I think the packed holiday release schedule also had an effect on the decision.
I said it several times that if they were planning a November/December release date, any delays would push it into 2019.

It would be up by now it’s not coming go to bed. Expect this trailer at the Xbox briefing or they’ll post it in the morning.
I have a theory about the January date.
Devil May Cry 5 took its spot.

No new worlds were shown.
The release date thing is funny to me. I don't really care that much except that I think people should be more careful moving forward about making statements about what will or won't happen with this game. There were a lot of folks who were super sure it wouldn't get delayed and now everyone's defensive because it did. For real, the cynics and naysayers were right. I don't think anyone's happy about it per se, but that doesn't change the facts. They kind of have I told you so rights imo.
Hopefully this new release date sticks.

Agreed. I honestly doubt it was just the fault of the feedback from the Premiere event like some people are saying. They had to have some time accounted for to make fixes, and maybe underestimated how much they'd have to do.

I mean people saying November sure that was definitely somewhat reasonable. The people that thought this game was coming out in July or September were out of their mind. Honestly, just look internally about what we had seen of this game up until last month (even last month it was a very specific vertical slice of the early game). Really think about it. We’ve barely seen anything of this game and nothing from after the entry circuit of worlds up until this point. The warning signs were all there. One month is not a significant amount of time, but there’s no way their goal was ever any sooner than november.
The minor polish from an extra month is not going to have any significant gameplay changes that the youtubers complained about. The gameplay is still going to be floaty.
I am fine with this, I didn't exactly expect it but yeah it's really only a month over what I was expecting so that's fine.
I dunno if I believe it has to do with the YouTube feedback specifically. Maybe, if they weren't planning on changing on of it? I mean I had some issues with what I saw so I just hope they change those for sure. I guess since they were so adamant about a release date being released this month I dunno if I by into this not being planned at least the past few weeks/months.
It's funny people are super curious about Kairi's hairstyle, lol. Did she grow it out of keep it short
Wait a sec, Lea was in the trailer.
WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE? DOES HE LOOK LIKE RENO?
WHAT ABOUT KAIRI
Lea doesn't have a new outfit.
No new worlds were shown.

It's just this "OMGAWD IT CHANGED BY A MONTH THE SKY IS FALLING" attitude that pisses me off tbh. Like, calm down and take a deep breath. Let's think this through. A lot of people are saying that "it was delayed 3 months", yet we never were told it was coming out in October. Sure, we had a release window, but nothing more. Being pushed back a month is god damn child's play, I've seen games get so much worse. There's no use speculating about what the "official date" was, and there's no use whining about waiting just one more month for this game to come out. Like, seriously, it's coming out. The YouTuber's can tell you that much.
It's also this dismissive attitude towards the people who playtested the game. Some people have said that "if those YouTuber's shut their damn mouths, we'd have the game this year", but there's some issues to that: we don't know if that would be true at all, and, if it was pushed back to listen to their concerns and improve the game, THAT'S NOT A BAD THING. Like, seriously, I know this is a vocal minority, but damn is this attitude just completely stupid. Why the fuck someone would rather have a subpar somewhat broken button masher instead of an improved, quality KH game is beyond me. Guess some people can't wait a month.
(Also really don't care about that Japan v world debate. Y'all can wait four days sit down)
KH on facebook confirmed trailers at E3 so I think we can go to bed.
Lea doesn't have a new outfit.
Ew why? Lol, that sounds like a bad decision, maybe it will change eventually?
Wait a sec, Lea was in the trailer.
WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE? DOES HE LOOK LIKE RENO?
WHAT ABOUT KAIRI
Apparently Lea was just in the Org coat. No new outfit. I'm assuming Kairi was in her new outfit, and I've heard nothing about her hairstyle. Phantom Aqua was also there and there was a Kingdom Key designed like a Star Seeker.

Theres a lot of decisions about this game that don’t make me happy so something like this doesn’t surprise me at this point. I’m sure it will still be great, but the game just seems to be stuck in the past.

I'm chill lol like I said, I'm only a little peeved but it's not enough for me to dismiss the game altogether. I guess its just a personal feeling I can't help, even with all that info. I'm still excited though!

Do we know if Sora was in a rat form or something when he was cooking with Remy? Or was he still his regular human self?

Yeah... I wasn't claiming that I was. I'm just expressing how I'm still upset regardless. No need to be conscending about it
Maybe they are saving Lea's new outfit for when he rips off his cloak in a dramatic moment. Like Mickey and Riku in KH2
well we dont why lea in a old outfit
HPO were in the trailer running from Heartless. Aqua and Kairi interaction...oh man.
I don't mind the delay in and of itself, as it's only a month away from the aforementioned release window. My gripe with it is that KH3 releasing at the end of the year would have been perfect, as I would have had the holiday time to play the crap out of the game. But now, it's being released right as my final semester of graduate school begins, so the timing is a bit unfortunate for me. But hey, we got a release date, the game is coming, we're all going to be fine :D
someone leaked this on discord

It wasn't a new world. Maybe a summon or a cameo in Twilight Town? Hayner, Pence, and Olette were shown, too.

Slenderman vibes, yikes.

Thanks, that's what I figured would be the case, but someone had told me on a different forum they'd heard otherwise. Frankly a Ratatouille world never made sense to me. It'd work far better as part of another existing KH original world or as a mini-game world like 100 Hundred Acre or KH2 Atlantica.
here is a look on the keyblade
here is a look on the keyblade
Wait, what if THAT'S Riku's new keyblade?!
here is a look on the keyblade
Is that Mickey holding it?
Plot twist: it's Sora in his rat form
Its not Mickey's hand. Might belong to one of the unknown members.
Who's holding it?
Wait, what if THAT'S Riku's new keyblade?!
Why would they release a figure of Riku with a different Keyblade then lol? I doubt it's his at least.
It really does just look like the Starseeker and Kingdom Key. kinda meh so far

Sure. I think the fact that there were no new (Disney) worlds shown eliminates this as a world, but I agree that I don't think it would work well with combat and would be better suited to minigames (maybe he'll upgrade his handhold to a DS and get Cooking Mama). I think having him appear as a resident in Twilight Town or wherever is a cute idea. Summon works, too.

He broke into another game to get a new weapon.
Wow what a disappointment that reveal was. I was getting over the July release hope & looking forward to the November release date but then they had to pull this stunt & the Orchestra & had Nomura up on stage to tell fans that they lied about KH3 releasing in 2018. So disappointed.

I'm pretty down with him being a cameo in another world or a summon. A cooking summon sounds cute, but being a cameo means I won't just be waiting for him to be relevant like Bambi, Dumbo, and now Ralph.
Plot twist: it's Sora in his rat form
Doesn't look like Sora has a rat form.
Maybe dat's strelitzia back from the ded.

Thats totally on you. There was zero reason for you to ever believe July was even a remote possibility.
I think it would be neater if the Ratatouille part was connected to Twilight Town rather than a summon. A slight mini game in Twilight Town would be quite fun.
Maybe it's Isa's. His element is the moon.
Also I love that the theories of the random French restuarant in Twilight Town turned out to be true.

I dont get why everybody is saying Nomura lied. Square set the window for 2018 and then realizied that couldn't happen and corrected themselves. How is that lying? It's not blatant dishonesty.

Maybe but I feel like people there would be freaking out about Isa having a Keyblade lol. But the logic makes some sense. We havent seen anyone else other than Xehanort with a Keyblade tho either
Nobody knows, will Lea have new clothes?
And also it is interesting to see whether Kairi and Lea on the E3 trailer? Knowingly in UX they want to get her clothes, I think they will show.
I'm hearing we will get this trailer tomorrow night at the E3 show on YouTube KH was confirmed to be at earlier. That implies to me we will get another trailer just a short day after at the conference.
Welp, looks like my first playthrough will be in 日本語.

Oh, cuz of the gap? A couple months would have convinced me to import but a few days isn't worth the extra money for myself. I totally get ya tho, wish I wouldn't have to avoid spoilers for even just 4 days lol.

I mean, it's only a 4 day wait, so it's really not that big of a deal at all :P

Not so. There was some pretty major signs that was pointing at a July release. This is ofc not taking into account that SE was being quieter than usual on the KH3 updates when the game was set to release in 2018 & now we know why.

What signs? There was literally nothing that any official source said that even remotely pointed to a July release. Notice how Master Xehanort has been in literally no trailers so far? Bingo. Practically nothing has been shown that even shows the skeleton of the plot in trailer form, so there's no way we'd expect a game on the horizon.
It's not like the two week gap with 2.8'or even several month gap with previous kh games
Funny story, during my internet strike with 2.8, I decided to listen to 0.2s music. I had my friend click the video so I would avoid spoilery thumbnails and she clicked on Back Cover. I wound up accidentally throwing my headphones at her....

HEARTS DRIVEN BY ONE OATH. ONE PURPOSE.
From the trailer.
Ha, they threw "Oath" in there. That's cute.
Totally remember buying 2.8 at full price out of impulse and immediately regretting it lol. Should have waited for it to be on sale, that collection was NOT worth the $60 I paid for on release at all.
Looks like Kairi still has her KH2 hair? I can't tell for sure though.

My eye is wanting to say that her hair is curled but my brain wants to say it's her kh2 hair too
Not so. There was some pretty major signs that was pointing at a July release. This is ofc not taking into account that SE was being quieter than usual on the KH3 updates when the game was set to release in 2018 & now we know why.
Youre out of your mind. I don’t know what else to say. You clearly know nothing about Square Enix or how game releases work.
I got spoilers for the KH2 ending back in 2006. NEVER AGAIN.
Besides, if there aren't language options I was thinking about getting both versions anyway.
I think that's them in the training bubble thing that Merlin mentioned. It would make sense, and the shrubbery around them is Mysterious Tower-esque. Probably means that neither of them are in their outfits in this trailer, then. I'm fine with that. Hopefully Lea gets one at all lol
What signs? There was literally nothing that any official source said that even remotely pointed to a July release. Notice how Master Xehanort has been in literally no trailers so far? Bingo. Practically nothing has been shown that even shows the skeleton of the plot in trailer form, so there's no way we'd expect a game on the horizon.
The game was said to have been in the later stages of development & that was in January. Obviously something happened during the showcase that made SE rethink the gameplay style had to change & in doing so delayed this during that time.
It's just this "OMGAWD IT CHANGED BY A MONTH THE SKY IS FALLING" attitude that pisses me off tbh. Like, calm down and take a deep breath. Let's think this through. A lot of people are saying that "it was delayed 3 months", yet we never were told it was coming out in October. Sure, we had a release window, but nothing more. Being pushed back a month is god damn child's play, I've seen games get so much worse. There's no use speculating about what the "official date" was, and there's no use whining about waiting just one more month for this game to come out. Like, seriously, it's coming out. The YouTuber's can tell you that much.
Ok but bear in mind prominent members of the community regularly shut down anyone who said a delay was even possible saying things like it would take a ~miracle~ for it to happen and here we are. I agree that nobody should be flying off the handle over this but people have a right to feel disappointed and let down given the way the release date was basically framed as being 100% locked for 2018. The user you were responding to was not losing their cool over this or irrationally blaming others, they were just expressing their immediate response which seemed warranted to me.
It's also this dismissive attitude towards the people who playtested the game. Some people have said that "if those YouTuber's shut their damn mouths, we'd have the game this year", but there's some issues to that: we don't know if that would be true at all, and, if it was pushed back to listen to their concerns and improve the game, THAT'S NOT A BAD THING. Like, seriously, I know this is a vocal minority, but damn is this attitude just completely stupid. Why the diddly someone would rather have a subpar somewhat broken button masher instead of an improved, quality KH game is beyond me. Guess some people can't wait a month.
I agree that it's a good thing SE is taking criticism into account if that's indeed what's going on, and people blaming the YouTubers are speaking prematurely anyhow. We don't know what delayed it, but hopefully SE/Nomura will be forthcoming about that in interviews.
I think that's them in the training bubble thing that Merlin mentioned. It would make sense, and the shrubbery around them is Mysterious Tower-esque. Probably means that neither of them are in their outfits in this trailer, then. I'm fine with that. Hopefully Lea gets one at all lol
Okay with this ! It means that they are going to spend a little extra time tweaking out some flaws so the game is more smooth and a better time for everybody. It's fine. If they delay again, then mood will change lol.

Hopefully it isn't anything too serious & these tweaks are just that tweaks. When FFXV was finally released after delay after delay people was expecting it to be playable & oh boy it was bad.

Kairi definitely looked like she was in her new outfit to me, also for some reason my brain saw them in Daybreak Town for the .01 sec they were on screen but I guess I was wrong haha. Tbh y'all don't need this teaser, it was just a bunch of brief clips that will be expanded upon at E3, the only reason it was even at the Orchestra was to slap a release date on the end of it.

There was never anything hinting at a July release. There never was. All they've ever said was 2018.

"Later stages" doesn't necessarily mean "5 months from now". A "stage" could take a year and just mean they're done with all the planning and are working towards implementing the games.
That is also a vague, nothing statement that should not be held up as the word of God.

LOL in January he said that the last part of the game was like 30% complete! Also, even if he said that everything was close to done, IT WOULDN'T ONLY TAKE LIKE SIX MONTHS TO FINISH THOSE LAST PARTS UP AND PLAYTEST IT.
Sorry, I know that sounded mean, but Square wouldn't have delayed the game 6 fucking months because of the YouTuber thing. That doesn't make any sort of sense at all. Again, we saw practically nothing of the game other than some beginning worlds and a couple of minor organization members in detail (and Xemnas/YX), and the main villain hasn't even appeared yet. Jumping to conclusions like July 2018 just doesn't make sense in this scenario, and keep in mind that I'm not saying that you're blaming Square necessarily, but you can't expect them to comply to an arbitrary release date that you've speculated and then get upset when your date that no official source recognized turned out to be flat wrong.
no that daybreak town actually and i thin kair is her new outfit i mean ux getting the sora and kair boards tomorrow
I just assumed that since the outfit was all pink that she was still in her KHII one. And how do we know it's Daybreak Town?
The game was said to have been in the later stages of development & that was in January. Obviously something happened during the showcase that made SE rethink the gameplay style had to change & in doing so delayed this during that time.
Where did you get late stage of development from. In February they said the first three worlds were about 90% done, the middle worlds were 60% done, and the final worlds they wouldn’t even comment on so they were presumably much less than 60%. They weren’t just going to magically finish 50% of the worlds in 4-5 months time.
I think now is the time people realize this is Square. It’s a rude awakening, but it’s necessary. And what people need to see is that January 29, 2019 is the earliest day we see this game. I would not be surprised at all by another delay to spring 2019. They’ve eased into the delays by saying its coming less than a month after 2018. January is a bad month to release a AAA game like this. They might factor that in and realize they need a couple more months come the fall. From what we’ve seen, idk this game still just feels like it’s roughly a year away, maybe a little less.
Orange sunset, beach. Could they have been on Destiny Islands?

Well there was a specific date in July that would have been an ideal release date for KH3 & SE takes their release date significance seriously. Then again there wasn't anything to imply a Novemever release date was a viable choice as well other than a retail mishap that got people thinking that it was in November.
I honestly think the reason there's a delay is cause of the complaints that people had from the premiere event. SE asked them for feedback so the delay is to give them enough to time to fix those small issues that people had.
Notnow don’t believe in perctangrs they are not accuate and they said were last stages of development and starting working on the bugs

No it's not. There's no competition for it. The spotlight is on KH3.
What do you think Days Gone the nearest release will steal the spotlight? Please.
Also KH 2.8 was released in January as well. I have no doubt this game will break sales records for the company and franchise.
The release date makes sense cause now they can fix the small issues people had at the premiere event.
This likely means the game was gonna come out during December 2018. Being delayed a month is not a big deal.
Anyways at least we're getting the trailer tonight. Followed by more trailers on Monday and likely one at Sony as well.
Also to the user who asked the question why people are upset, rightfully so, about the release date is because last summer it said 2018 & they were pretty adamant that it was going to be released in 2018. As for as I can recall there wasn't anything that may have implied that they weren't going to finish the game on schedule for 2018. Heck most of us had 2018 penciled in as a KH3 release year till recently & this is the place to get the latest KH info. It was a shock to know that they delayed the game to 2019 when they implied beforehand that the game was on schedule.

Ah that's nice to know. I wonder what that means for whatever is happening in YouTube's thing tho. Will they just play those short clips and then have full trailers on Monday? I guess we will see lol
I honestly think the reason there's a delay is cause of the complaints that people had from the premiere event. SE asked them for feedback so the delay is to give them enough to time to fix those small issues that people had.
The complaints the youtubers were about the gameplay feel. That can not be fixed from an additional month and a half of development. They might get a chance to implement a couple minor things that were mentioned, but there’s no way the game was delayed 1-2 months just over the premiere event. They would need significant amount of time to fix the things the youtubers were discussing. I would imagine this release date was already known before the premiere event occurred.

Not to mention that, even if it was just about finished by now, they'd still need more than 1 month for shipping and marketing.
And again, this "later stage" and giving percentages is actually quite meaningless. Problems can come that set things back. 1% might take a month to finish but then they finish 10% in a week. That has nothing to do with how much time something will take.
I just assumed that since the outfit was all pink that she was still in her KHII one. And how do we know it's Daybreak Town?
It's hard to tell but I think it's her KH3 outfit -- her hood would be black. I also don't get how people are saying Daybreak Town. It's clearly Twilight Town to me, based on the colors.
They said they'll play this trailer at Youtube @E3 tonight at 7 pm eastern.

Then again there wasn't anything to imply a Novemever release date was a viable choice as well other than a retail mishap that got people thinking that it was in November.
That's because November is just a more realistic idea for a release date in 2018, my dude. July is way less realistic either way, November is as close to the end of the year as anyone expected.

I can understand that but to say that Square lied, which would suggest blatant dishonesty, is ridiculous. It's like you're baking a cake for somebody and you predict it will be done in two hours but you realize it will take four hours and tell that person.
Square never lied to anybody. The fandom has every right to be dissapointed but they're also burning themselves down by making claims and arguing about everything
I'm going to bed. See y'all later
Randall is confirmed in KH3. People are bbreaking down the trailer. Remy is a summon.
Ah that's nice to know. I wonder what that means for whatever is happening in YouTube's thing tho. Will they just play those short clips and then have full trailers on Monday? I guess we will see lol
Ok there was one part at the beginning that was slightly substantial but I haven't seen anyone talk about it so I don't want to spoil stuff. Still, my impression was that this is a teaser which will be expanded into a full trailer for E3, so I imagine everything shown tonight will be intact there will just be... More.
It's hard to tell but I think it's her KH3 outfit -- her hood would be black. I also don't get how people are saying Daybreak Town. It's clearly Twilight Town to me, based on the colors.
That wasn't my first guess but you might be right. I hope you are since it could point to a Kairi tutorial.
No it's not. There's no competition for it. The spotlight is on KH3.

It has nothing to do with competition. Games do poorly in January. It’s one of the worst months of the year to release a game. People aren’t spending immediately after the holidays.

As someone who is feeling bittersweet about this announcement, let me try to re-contextualize the "bitter" part of it in a way that's not so much me playing the victim (like "I feel betrayed bla bla bla").
SE owes me nothing whatsoever & I'm super thankful for them even making this game but the bitterness comes from the fact that I no longer trust their release dates, even 1/29/19 (& I know, maybe shame on me that I was expecting more from SE).
It was only 4 weeks ago that SE reaffirmed in their financial results that KH3 was still coming out in 2018 & later that week was the KH3 Premiere Event. So if ~3 weeks went by since the event causing them to delay - which I trust was for good reason - between the physical demo being at other venues like E3 (possibly even released publicly) which will amass a lot more feedback & possible unexpected road blocks that may arise, it's clear SE has no allegiance to keeping dates (once again, shame on me for expecting more).
They didn't keep their commitment for 2018, what's makes 1/29/19 any different?
So for me it's not so much "disappointment" as it is fear that the game's release date is still TBD. Plus, I was really rooting for SE to beat the naysayers but unfortunately, this time, the naysayers were right.
Does that mean we're getting

Yeah, except, to use your cake analogy, you tell the person at the last second remember how I told you again & again that the cake was going to be ready in 2 hours for months & how I essentially promised that it was going to be in 2 hours. My bad, it's in 4 hours. It's a lie either way. Now was it an intentional or unintentional lie who's to say. I'm not sure what goes behind the closed doors at SE HQ but I will give them the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't intentional even though this is their second recent offense. Point of the matter is, they shouldn't have hyped everyone up for a 2018 release like they did. It's one thing for me to believe in a July release & then told it's going to be in Decemeber but it's another to say it's going to be released next year when they were so confident that they put a 2018 release notice last year & again this is taking into account reasonable delays that they may encounter.

I feel they were targeting a Late December release ala KH 2.8 but instead will do basically the same thing they did with 2.8 with KH3.
Trailer was dope, major hype from the entire thing. Loved every second that was shown. The extended trailer is going to be something truly glorious.

You are certainly not the only one who feels this way. A lot of people felt very confident in the way Square seemed so confident in 2018, so to then be hit with this does feel like a bit of betrayal of trust, even if saying that does sound a bit overdramatic. I also now don't feel like January is necessarily trustworthy either, because what's to stop them from delaying it further? I don't think it will be, but the trust issues are now there and it sucks.

Can't wait to see it!

Apparently it's airing tonight during the Youtube @ E3 show at 7 pm EST. The first of many trailers this week apparently.
That wasn't my first guess but you might be right. I hope you are since it could point to a Kairi tutorial.
I hope so. Maybe my eyes are tricking me into thinking it's Twilight Town (because I need playable Kairi more than I need air to breathe) but it's hard to tell just because the pic is so off-center and unfocused. But it certainly reminds me of Sunset Hill (but I don't think it's the same place unless they really did redesign everything).
Also, I'm suspicious that Kairi's "reveal" also apparently had a brief cameo from Hayner's gang (I've heard they were running from Heartless and also were in front of a computer or something?). Which I hope was what was hinted at in the "BBS Vol.2" trailer with Kairi and HPO in front of the mansion.

Then again there wasn't anything to imply a Novemever release date was a viable choice as well other than a retail mishap that got people thinking that it was in November.
"Ideal" is not always realistic. SE also has a history of constantly revealing games way too early, not saying anything for 2-3 years, and then pushing the release date back 2-3 times.
I care more that they can put out a functioning game, without overworking their developers to hit a deadline. November was more realistic of an option compared to July because that still gave them time to ship, market, and polish/patch the game. Many people had thought December (myself included) or October before RDR2. They just can't do that in a month or two. Indie games can get away with this specifically because they aren't triple-A games.
Obviously, everyone interpreted those vague statements and arbitrary percentages their own way, and it really doesn't matter in the end. You're still going to get the game, and they're working to make it as good as they can for you.
I'm honestly just thrilled that, after so many years of waiting, we finally have a release date for this game. And I can't wait to see the trailer(s) coming up soon. The inevitable world reveals are going to be really exciting.
233 more days, guys.
Damn this was not the kind of teary-eyed that I wanted to be
I expect at least 3 world reveals during E3. Frozen + 2 new worlds or Frozen + 1 new world + 1 OG world returning. So it's definitely exciting stuff.
On the plus side the delay also means showings at TGS and Jump Festa where they can reveal more stuff. Like worlds and things. :)
233 more days, guys.
Sounds awful when you say it like that.
Trailer was dope, major hype from the entire thing. Loved every second that was shown. The extended trailer is going to be something truly glorious.
How long was the trailer?

We'll be under 200 in just over a month. Hang in there!

Yeah this could definitely work. I have a feeling/hope we'll know if Kairi is playable after E3 for sure.
[spoiler]Yes there were scenes with HPO running from a Devils Swarm IIRC and later with Sora in front of the virtual Twilight Town computer monitors, and either the computer or Pence was saying something to Sora about restoring data? I think Sora mentioned Roxas ("even Roxas?" is what I heard) but with everyone screaming constantly it was hard to pick up on the details.[/spoiler]
Honestly the only reason I'm miffed about the release date delay is that it extends the marketing cycle for this game, and I'm already kind of burnt out on BIG HYPE moments with zero context for 2.8 seconds threaded into everything for this game. I'd like to know what the damn things about please.
Has there been any mentions on the music in the trailer?
I hope so.

I just feel bad for the people who planned their lives in accordance to this game's release. People have planned days off in 2018, heck there was a couple who was going to be married on the release date of KH3. Now they'll have to wait till next year. I know to you it's just a game, but to some people it's more than just a game.
How long was the trailer?
I’d say it was longer than a minute but I’m not sure if it hit 90 seconds long.
Yeah this could definitely work. I have a feeling/hope we'll know if Kairi is playable after E3 for sure.
Oh, interesting. I'm sure revealing the other playable character would be an announcement perfect for E3.
If this stuff about Phantom Aqua is true, though, that may also be pointing to Riku having a segment in the RoD with Mickey.
Has there been any mentions on the music in the trailer?
It was Don't Think Twice.
There was a carousel attraction flow shown as well, Sora was on the back of a horse.

Like, I can sympathize with that, but the people working on this game are trying to get it out as fast, as perfect as they can. I'm sure they'd rather work another 1-3 months, rather then rush and put out a crappy game, and possibly put their health at risk to hit a deadline from stress and loss of sleep.
Just a reminder: WE'RE GETTING MULTIPLE TRAILERS BOI
There was a carousel attraction flow shown as well, Sora was on the back of a horse.
Oh yeah, the Attraction Flows get curioser and curioser. That one looked mighty flashy.
Will we get this trailer???? And daaaaamn? Other trailers???

Yes we're getting this trailer tonight and it could be extended.

I don't think(?) anybody is blaming the developers, this has more to do with the message it conveys that SE has (once again) mismanaged a title and failed to deliver on a commitment. There might be good reasons for that, there also might not be, but with marketing it's more about perception than reality. Everyone wants this game to be as good as it can be, but the belief thay SE can deliver on that in the first place is only further undermined with this kind of negative PR.
Again, personally I think what SE should do now is state transparently what happened to delay the game. And then people can either deal with it or not.
I'm disappointed, I won't lie. I'm fine with waiting one more month but January 29th is such an awful time to release a game :(. I will be swamped with exams and I don't know if I'll have time to play it/enjoy it. This definitely killed my hype... Until the trailer drops, lol.
Rapunzel was shown and she is absolutely gorgeous! They showed a close up of her face with her hair braided and full of flowers, then it cut to a birds eye view of a dancing mini-game that takes place in the Corona’s town square. That was shown right after Remy’s mini-game, where he is on Sora’s head and they were preparing food that looked like powdered donuts(?) in a kitchen.
Yes we're getting this trailer tonight and it could be extended.
And more trailers monday.
You keep saying this but was this 100% confirmed?

I feel the same. I won't have exams happening, but my spring semester will be in full swing when the game drops and the timing is just not good. The holiday season would have been a much better time. But hey, if Nomura thinks that releasing the game in January is what is needed to make the game as perfect as possible, I'm all for it... even if it means I have to endure the terrible timing and dodging internet spoilers while not playing since I won't be able to binge it the way I would if the game released for the holidays.
Then again, I also don't want to rush the game either. So perhaps preventing me from bingeing the game is a good thing, haha. Delayed gratification and all that.

Well they ahve their SE Press Conference. They can openly talk about it at that time.
You keep saying this but was this 100% confirmed?
People in attendance said as such. Not to mention what else does Youtueb @ E3 have to show if not the orchestra trailer?
So, to anyone who saw this Orchestra trailer; are you allowed to doodle it or something? It can be based off of memory if you like.
Well they ahve their SE Press Conference. They can openly talk about it at that time.
Yes, and tbh if I was them I would have withheld the release date until their E3 promotion when they could properly address the need to delay it instead of having a jetlagged Nomura awkwardly apologize to everyone on stage. Plenty of other things they could have shown us tonight that will probably be at E3, just switch some of the hype around.

There was a lot in the trailer that one could draw, but imagine I threw black paint at a canvas and there you have something that was in the trailer.
Interesting stuff.
On the release date, my thoughts are... I don't have any, I was always prepared for any date. I honestly don't even care if the date got pushed back or why, I waited 5 years I can wait 5 months.
Keyblade is interesting, perhaps Mickey himself gets an upgrade? Or... dare I say... Yen Sid shows us he still got it (in every sense)?
Phantom Aqua was in the trailer? Curious choice.
And is now definitely a thing that every world has a Nort. I hope they play this in an interesting way.
I just hope for a world reveal...
also... New reveals/trailer for the games might come at the Tokyo Game Show and final trailer at the Jump Festa...
not gonna lie that i'm a bit sad with the delay but still is the 2018 fiscal year so technically it wasn't even delayed lol
I'm not THAT mad at the delay, but this news is going to open a can of worms full of assholes who will aggressively attack us Kingdom Hearts fans unfairly for sticking to our 2018 release guns. I know some people are entitled to feeling awful about this, butI'm referring to the people who don't even care about the franchise and yet will take time off their lives to write long ass paragraphs or short inflammatory meme tweets/post of how stupid we and this franchise are.
I just feel like we're wide open for direct hits. and not to mention the stupid "It's never coming out/it's been 84 years" memes will be back with a vengeance.
But yeah, a delay ultimately means more time to work & polish the game to avoid giving us $60 betas like Square has done recently with other BIG titles like FFXV...
Trust Nomura, he means well.
Also, them Tweeting the release date for Kingdom Hearts 3 before any public trailer is shown was the right call to be quite honest. Revealing it after any trailer shown during some of the upcoming E3 conferences would've been marketing suicide. It would've overshadowed any awesome reveal like worlds, plot details and such.
With 7 months left, wonder how many world reveals they have planed in that time span. At least it seems pretty likely we have more than Frozen.
Honestly, I think they revealed the date ahead of E3 to get the bummer of the slight delay out of the way. Give it like 24 hours, everyone will comes to terms with it, and then its full speed ahead. I would have been a lot more bummed if I were watching the SE press conference live, at the peak of hype watching the new trailer, only to be hit with that delayed release date at the end.
Sure, discovering the release date through my Twitter feed was nowhere near as exciting as it being the final crescendo of a proper trailer would have been, but given the slight delay inevitably being a disappointment to those of us who were all trying to guess between November or December only to both be wrong, I prefer having seen the delayed release date through Twitter, rather than having my hype totally sucked away right at the end of a big trailer reveal during the conference.

They can do world reveals at E3, Tokyo Game Show and Jump Festa.
I imagine E3 will give us 2-3 worlds. TGS will give us 1 new world and JF will give us the final Disney World.
So we still have IMO 4 Disney Worlds for a total of 10-11.
BTW the trailer that was shown according to HTM's review confirms Radiant Garden which is a shock to no one but we do see it in the trailer and Daybreak Town.
I was a little irrited at first when I saw the announcement, but I’m okay with it. It’s only a month. I honestly expected the 2018 release date to be in December, so it really doesn’t matter to me.
It’s clearly bug and balancing issues to be fixed that are to blame. I’ve seen quite a lot of criticism from people who attended the premiere event say that the activation of situation commands are wayyyyy too easy. Like pretty much all you needed was a 3 hit combo. So this is probably a major thing they want to work on. And rightfully so.
This is such a troll... What can they really change and fix in 1 month? The 29th December would have been fine >_>...
Tbh I'm glad they pushed the release to January. 2018 is full packed with so many big and long awaited titles. Also SO many games have just randomly been announced and many leaks indicate that many more unannounced AAA titles will be revealed in the next few days. September has WAY too many games and so does October. Nobember is slowly getting fully packed aswell with all the new announcements. Pushing the game to January 2019 is smart IMO. I hope a few more games like One Piece, Darksiders 3, Assassins Creed Odyssey and Biomutant get pushed back to 2019.
Was the trailer voiced in English?
This is such a troll... What can they really change and fix in 1 month? The 29th December would have been fine >_>...
Who said it was coming out in December 29th...?
Looking forward to the trailers in E3, don't have much to say on the release date other than, more "It will never come out" jokes incoming...and that sucks.
Was the trailer voiced in English?
From what I hear, yes. I case you’re a little doubtful, you can hear it in Cynical’s reaction.
[video]https://youtu.be/ZeN1REu6pv8[/video]
If it is actually a 3 month delay, that is serious. Balancing issues could have been easily patched but no, the YouTubers had to complain about everything.
In what universe does that sound like a good idea?
Why would you invite people to an exclusive event to get their feedback and then release the game with its flaws anyway only to patch it at a later point? That's simply stupid.
You might not care for the game being a good experience when it releases, but many people do, and blaming the "youtubers" for giving actual feedback like they were supposed to is just egoistic.
Three months aren't serious at all if they actually manage to fix some major issues during them.
Was the trailer voiced in English?
Yes, it has english voices.
How many trailers did they show at the orchestra? One or two?
Thanks you two! And I'm guessing people aren't talking about Kairi much because she was only seen with Lea in that one shot at the end?
I KNEW this shit would get pushed back but aw well it’ll be worth it
What's their excuse this time for not having a worldwide release? I honestly don't think I can trust their new release. It came out of social media and not public trailer. I'll wait and take this with a grain of salt.
Where's the source for having other trailers coming soon?
Was Remy a D link or mini game?
To be honest I think people have right to be bummed about this. With such little information on the situation about the game, lack of marketing for the public. I'm not gonna pretend to be happy over something that obviously feels rather unstable at this point. Also I don't believe that the feedback from the event would cause this much of a delay for only a few bugs and fixes.

Yo, a dancing mini-game! And Remy's thing being mini-game like. So did you think he was a summon or did it just seem like a normal mini-game?

The people at the event who saw the real trailer are saying it's the same date lol. Why would their social media lie? Or do you mean unofficial social media? Cuz they posted it on the official Twitter. Which is also where they confirmed multiple trailers.
YES. YES. YES. I am so excited! :biggrin:
I'm a little disappointed to see what some fans are saying across social media but whatever - we got a date and I really want them to take all the time they need.

More like even the offical announcement could lead to be just a planned date but not a definitive one. Like some said it could still be TBA.

This is the exact way I see it and despite the slight disappointment and deflation of having a delayed release date announced through twitter, that will quickly turn into pure excitement again once we see more and more of the game (which we now know for certain is going to happen in the next few days)

I was already up late partying for pride in my city, so it was just around the same time and I didn't want to go to sleep intoxicated anyway so I sat around awhile coming down and chatting on here and other places lol.

I just knew it wouldn't be released this year, lol. Honestly, I expected something like March/May 2019 and anything's still possible.

I doubt they would delay the game past January. Seven months is plenty of time to put the finishing touches on everything.

Rumor has it tonight is when they'll show the trailer from the concert.
So we get trolled and the trailer still hasn't been released?
On one hand, I'm happy we finally have the release date. On the other hand, I'm not sure if the end of January is a good time for a lot of people.
The only thing I'm really annoyed at is that it's not a simultaneous release, so spoilers will be much abound before we can even get our hands on it.
It's pretty dang close to simultaneous, and, hell, delays are practically tradition. I ain't mad about it.
That's the only thing that's really bugging me. Especially because if they're shipping the game to meet a 29/1 date they can ship it to meet a 25/1 date.
What's bugging me even more is people telling me to get over it.

Yeah!!!! I'm happy about that too! But I think Square can release it on the same day. I really don't understand why they make a difference? Ff15 released worldwide at the same day... so why not KH

While I don’t think it’s a big deal, it is annoying. If they can release FFXV simultaneously, why is KH3 different? Especially with the delay, they should have been able to coordinate a WW release.

People forget Square had an event dedicated to announcing the release date of FFXV. It was still delayed and delayed to the original time the event clock landed on. I entirely blame the clickbait crew for this though. It got delayed to fix floatiness.

The tweet was deleted. What was it?
This type of pushback at every criticism seems to happen regularly in the KH fandom these days. Nobody's allowed to be disappointed about anything. We should be grateful to wait and wait and wait and wait. What's even worse are the ludicrous arguments that get peddled like, "You should be happy because this means the game will be better!" Nobody knows that will be the case at all. I'm still expecting the game to have patches out the wazoo, bugs/issues, and endless DLC content. The fact that it now has a 2019 release will not change that.
Yeah. I don't have any real gripe with the delay nor with the japan date difference, but the "hype elitarism" can sometimes be just as annoying as people complaining all the time.
Also yes, I've seen multiple webstars defending the delay by claiming "I'd rather have KH III being the perfect game we deserve".
Ehh, not sure that's the best hill to die on.
The game being in January doesn't bother me too much either, if all comes together I'll finish college in November, so I'll have all the time to myself. This delay was kinda beneficial, actually.
Also I just realized, we got the date! I think this is where I'll stop actively looking into the game until it's out and in my possession. So it's ta-ta for me after this E3, at least in these threads.
Ciao!

It was the picture of Lea and Kairi from the leaks. He said something like "Do you recognize these two?" and quotes Axel's lines to her from KH2: "We've got something in common, Kairi. You and I both miss someone we care about. Hey, I feel like we're friends already."
Oh, and #lifeslittlerules.

March is the absolute latest, I'd say. Anything past that, they'd knock it out of their FY2018 and I doubt they'd want to do that, especially after Nomura apologized as much as he did for merely delaying the game by a month out of the original promised window.

And you know what? That's a good thing. Why tell the attendees of the event that you intend to watch their feedback videos for things to improve, only to not actually improve the game before launch? Hell, if Square is actually delaying the game to implement improvements, I'm surprised it only got knocked back by one month.

Thank you! I can’t wait to see this trailer in action. I think they’ll premiere it to the public at this Youtube thing tonight. It may have been what Glacie was teasing for tonight.

The earlier the better! But since KH is confirmed for the Youtube thing but not the Microsoft conference, I’ll set my expectations there and hopefully be surprised during the Microsoft conference.
im sick of the critique of the critique of the critique myself
Hella lame. Welp, maybe they’ll fix all the stuff people had issue with. Floaty combat and such. So much for getting KH this year. Pretty letdown.
This makes me wonder, what is Square Enix's blockbuster winter title for this year now that Kingdom Hearts III is slated for 2019?

It is a bummer, but we all assumed the game was coming in November or December, so we're getting a 2 month delay at the very most. It's nothing huge. The timing of its release is a bit unfortunate, as we won't get the holiday season to play it, but its only a short extra wait.

Delaying the game because KHII purists can't stand slightly floating combos isn't a good thing.
This makes me wonder, what is Square Enix's blockbuster winter title for this year now that Kingdom Hearts III is slated for 2019?
Tomb Raider will likely carry through to November as the big Square Enix title on shelves. Then Left Alive and TWEWY will probably fill the gap until KH3 comes out.
Delaying the game because KHII purists can't stand slightly floating combos isn't a good thing.
Delaying the game because floaty combos are pretty much objectively awful since no matter who you ask they'll tell you combat needs to be smooth is the best thing professionals can do.
Seven months will come and go so fast you won't even believe it. We waited five years, two months after predictions is nothing
Seven months will come and go so fast you won't even believe it. We waited five years, two months after predictions is nothing
I predicted September, so it's like 4 months later for me.
Cool, more time to platinum at least one of the games. Gunna shoot for Re:CoM or BBS I think.
Also, why does Xigbar have such a long face lol. And his hair now has a more purplish hue than grey? I can't wait to see more in tomorrow's trailer.
I think anyone has a right to be dissapointed. People on social media and all over the KH fandom are just trying to have a forced "be grateful and get over yourself". I for one would like to know why there hasn't been discussed about the release earlier in Japan from the team at SE. If they'll adress it and let us know, then it be easier for everyone. By hiding this type of information, is just not a cool move.
maybe there aiming for ww relase for 2018 but when they moved it back they had to push the day 4 days away four day we can wait for it just stay off twiter and youtbe for while and you should be fine
Lost my bet, there goes my long hair. ;-;
This gives me hope and time to save up for a potential KH3 Collector's Edition and MAYBE KH 3 PS4 Pro. I have been thinking about upgrading to a PS4 pro and this would give me a great reason to do so. I paid 300 for the FF XV UCE so I'm willing to pay that or more if I get a steelbook, play arts kai, art book and other goodies. Hoping for a KH 3 pin too.

Purists? The floaty combat has been a complaint for years amongst the fanbase. The standard combos in BBS and DDD are terrible, especially in the air. KH1 and 2 had much better weight to the battle mechanics, and if they tweak the game to make it more suited to those games, we're better off for it.

Preach boi.
Don't get mad at people for giving feedback, that's just stupid. If you want a broken, mechanically awful game rushed for release, BBS still exists and you can always go back and get your fix.
Phantom blot confirmed? Lmao
Nah, it was Heartless Aqua. Think of Heartless Sora in Neverland and that’s what Aqua was. She picked up a Kingdom Key Keyblade that has the motif of Yen Sid but could also be the Keyblade of the In-Between world.

Just bbe grateful it's only a 4 day wait. When KH2 was released I had to stay off the internet and youtube for 3 months cause there was cut scenes and everything. USA got it in March and Japan got it in December.

It was much easier to avoid content back then. There was a 6 month delay for KH2 going from the USA to Australia and somehow I wasn’t spoiled. Being 11 was a benefit because I wasn’t actively looking for information and just knew that the game would be coming late September so I waited.

This is the attitude that's pissing me off. Am I not allowed to be critical of what I love? I know all about waiting, I live in Europe. The only place that gets screwed over more than us is Australia. If it had been a six month wait i would understand because they would be doing dubbing or something equally worthwhile in that time. 4 days? That's just bullshit.
2006 was a much different time. Spoilers were not * in your face* like they are now, you had to actively search out forums for Kingdom Hearts and maybe follow KH Ultimania for up to date stuff. There is zero reason for the 4 day gap, and it's just going to screw us over. I could make a new youtube account, unfollow people, block forums and the possibility of me being spoiled is still high. Ffs, people were posting TLJ, IW and FFXV spoilers in the randomest of places, or pming it to unsuspecting folks. Why risk that for the vast majority of your fans when you can release it everywhere on the Saturday

I think it's cause games usually release on Tuesdays in the USA which is January 29th.
I've never seen a game release on Saturdays in the USA.
IDK I don't really follow any KH blogs on social media so I won't be spoiled. I get my info mostly from here.
I hope we get to see boxart and/or a collector's edition soon! I've been saving up for it.
Whoa, wait so it's Anti-Aqua not Phantom Aqua? And then it's the thing with that new Keyblade? What is going on lol
Yep. I have no idea where Phantom Aqua came from lmao. Also I have no idea how people saw Aqua and Kairi sitting together when it was a two red haired people and one clearly wearing a black cloak.
Randall is confirmed. Looks like Disney villains might not get screwed.
One of my biggest worries of the game may not be a worry after all!!

Lol yea I found out quickly the Aqua and Kairi thing was untrue but this was the first I heard of this ha

Well games in Europe normally release on Fridays, are Square gonna push the game to February to accommodate that? No. I don't see why they feel the need to go with America's conventions. A Tuesday release makes no sense to me. What's the point getting the game Day One when you most likely won't be able to play it

Oh I'll definitely be able to play it. Gonna put in two weeks vacation for that week at work.

If that's really an issue, why not release the game worldwide on that Tuesday? Or does Japan have a preference for Saturday releases? I'd rather wait 4 extra days to get the game with the rest of the world over getting my English copy when people already have finished the game. It took me 4 days to complete KH2 for the first time when it released, while going to school. I'll probably be ready for a second playthrough once the English version releases. Luckily, I've been studying Japanese ever since I heard Passion in an old KH2 trailer!

I think I heard somewhere that the Japanese government forced Square Enix to release its games on a Saturday, because too many people were skiving

I'm taking about people in general. Tuesday is bang in the middle of the week. Friday/Saturday is at the beginning of the weekend. It's obvious to my mind which one is better
So did Anti Aqua break the Way to Dawn in a confrontation with Riku and Mickey?
Will they give us a trailer today?
Do you guys think they will give us a world reveal this week or nah? bc as it right now I'm kind of lost tbh I was not expecting the release date at the orchestra at all
Hades and Dark Baymax are a thing though...
We’ve gotten Hades for like five out of seven games though, while I love the guy he’s hardly a novelty. Certainly not as exciting as the inclusion of Randall, or say, a Zurg boss (the Toy Story Heartless Boss seems to be Zurg themed if I’m correct though so hopefully we get him). Especially after 3D when Disney Villains REALLY got the shaft. Hell, even the Rock Titan, while cool as hell, seems like he’ll be small potatoes just like in I.

Majority of Japan games come out either on Saturdays so yes especially SE titles. There's culture preferences established.
I guess the streak of Square never delaying a Kingdom Hearts game ended lol.
On the bright side We are getting Kingdom Hearts 3 in a little under 7 months =D

They delayed 2.8, probably the same they did with KH3.
Hey, guys? At 1:19 in Cynical’s reaction to the trailer, you can here someone say “Who cares?†Who is this saying it?
Also, I know this post is minor/irrelevant but while most of you are familiar with Kingdom Hearts III being pushed from 2018 to 2019 and especially Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 being pushed from 2016 to 2017 I also would like to point out that Birth by Sleep was also originally set to be released in 2009 before being pushed to 2010.
Seven months will come and go so fast you won't even believe it. We waited five years, two months after predictions is nothing
Here's to hope that Famitsu and Jump magazine will start revealing the worlds for the game prior to release along with the game making its OFFICIAL first appearance at Tokyo Game Show and Jump Festa this year.

2.8's delay to January 2017 was due to Final Fantasy XV's delay from September to November 2016 as they would've competed in sales with each other.
The game comes out on Friday in Japan. Why are people discussing Saturday as a release day?

Derp, that's my fault I did the maths wrong. Now there's an even bigger case to release on the 25th for Europe

Well that's what they've done with all the titles. I expect more world reveals in Famitsu and Jump before those big shows.
I do think they will reveal at least 2-3 worlds at E3. TGS will reveal another Disney world and then Jump Festa will reveal the final Disney one.
And that's why I think we're looking at 10-11 Disney Worlds.

you know i forgot about that lol

That's a wicked though, I really like that.
Xbox's conference is in an hour. I'm thinking something might get shown.

I hope so, it'll give me something to look forward to when I get off work.
Let's hope so; as it is for me, I just preordered the game off Amazon. (I never preorder a game until I have a firm release date)
Can't wait but I'm not going to be bored, got a nice backlog and stuff to keep me busy gaming wise. ^^
On the brightside no more periods of time without news. In the seven months before release we are getting a bunch of content.

With that said, I wouldn’t expect as much info at e3 as we were prior to us expecting the game to come out in November. We’ll get a lot of info, but it’s not going to be the blow out we were expecting. We’ll get a frozen or a world reveal, a new gameplay trailer with maybe big hero 6, and maybe some story stuff.
No thread yet, BUT HOLY SHIT FROZEN CONFIRMED
LARXENE,FROZEN,GUMMI SHIPS AND AQUA IS.....
"Mickey...You're too late" HOLY SHIT
Dude multiple trailers confirmed because I didn't see Xigbar
[SPOILER]AQUA TURNED TO THE DARKNESS OMG[/SPOILER]
I logged in to this age old account just to post this, im so hyped ^.^
it could be a trap and thats not really aqua but damn mickey look what you DID!
THAT TRAILER WAS AMAZING!
Wrong thread lol but yay at the date
It's a bit disappointing that Kingdom Hearts III is delayed a little longer, but I see it as a good thing. The fact that it's delayed actually relieves me a little, because it means they're not rushing it and that they'll probably deliver a quality final product.
To quote Master Eraqus, "That was unexpected . . . but one must keep a still heart, even in the most trying of circumstances."
I'm just so excited that we finally have a release date!
There’s a deluxe listing for the game on the amazon. I see people saying they’re preordering the game on Amazon because they have a date now. I would wait until we have more info about this deluxe version.
Ahhhh!!! We finally have a release date! Quite frankly, I'm not surprised and or upset that it's been delayed either. I also much rather have a game that is polished and finished than say one that's being rushed and incomplete.
Square still has me waiting for Big Hero 6 content like 0v0
Definitely time to update the KH3 FAQ sticky thread, don'cha think?

I would, but I’m away on holidays and only using an iPad so it’s a bit difficult to update it.

No, I completely understand. I was halfway joking with the obvious reminder. So much has changed in these past few days!
By chance, is anyone translating the character/world descriptions from the Japan website? Just from my Google translate, I noticed there were mentions of Randall and Davy Jones but nothing else made sense through the translation. If anyone can translate, I’d love to know what the descriptions say in full!

We've been working on it for a couple of days now, but we've had some issues with getting the information straight.

Thanks Chaser! I wish they would update the English site with the new info. The screenshots and videos are nice, of course, but I enjoy reading the descriptions, seeing updates renders, etc. lol
I know this is old news at this point now because it's been out for a while now, haven't been on here in a while, but I just wanted to stop and bask in the glory of this for a moment. I've been patiently waiting for this since not too long before I joined this site and just wanted to say how amazing it is that we finally have a confirmed release date! :D
I never expected to have to wait this long, if I had a time machine my past self would be SO surprised, but it was well worth the wait.
Really hope they deliver with this game and that Square, Nomura, and everyone else involved knocks this out of the park!
It's such a surreal experience for me, feels like KH2 was a lifetime ago almost or just so many things have happened since those days back then, but man is it a good time to be a KH fan just like back then :)
the next update should be september correct?
the next update should be september correct?
Yes we should be getting more KH3 news in September.
During the 4 day gap between JP and Western release, I will be in a bunker playing Smash Bros and writing music. No spoilers for lil me
Looks like the bundle that has the figures isn't available. But instead of saying sold out, it says 'waiting list'. Does that mean there's a chance that they'll be restocked? I do remember them saying there are limited quantities, so I dunno.
I don’t know about you folks, but I’m definitely driving to Wal Mart on January 28th and stand there for hours and wait until midnight for the game like it’s Black Friday.
So just as a confirmation, places like Gamestop, Best Buy, etc WILL have a midnight release, correct? I asked for the preorder for Christmas and I want to make sure I get it immediately. Only thing faster than picking it up at midnight would be getting a digital copy but I don't want to have to get both.

Not every store will necessarily do a midnight release. I’m pretty sure each individual store franchise decides whether there is enough interest to justify it. You’ll want to call your local stores closer to release to see if they plan on one.
I was going to livestream this game when it comes out.
Just got an email today that the money is coming out for the deluxe edition with Bring Arts on December 26th! Its happening!
