kh4 just flew over my house
https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1lyav18/mp1st_dragon_quest_vii_remake_in_development/
Yeah, I don't think we're making it out in the next 2 years. 2028 at the earliest.
>>531062371super fast skim of the very first comment says this is an unreliable rumour, though a more reliable rumour hidden within it is that they're planning a PC port instead of a remake. I'm assuming a PC port of the 3DS remake, but it's much more likely a switch 2 port instead (or switch 2 first, then pc 6 months later) given SE broke their new "no more exclusives" promise with bravely default remastered (switch 2 exclusive as of now)
>>531062371Aren't DQ games done by its own unique dev team? Shouldn't affect anything.
>>531062957Jason Schreier corroborated it. It's on the very same reddit. I only posted this leak because it was first.
>>531064059It has nothing to do with dev poaching, and more to do with keeping major releases away from one another. We sure as shit aren't getting FF7-3 and KH4 in the same year, and between the two we know Square would rather release FF7 in time for it's 30th anniversary.
>>531062371>2028>doesn't get a PC port till 2030Why are we made to suffer?
>>531080582Start saving for a ps6.
>>531079312thats really cool
you ever think about how whenever KHIV comes out it'll be at bare minimum $70, and if it doesn't beat KHIII's lifetime sales within a month of launch, Square will say it didn't meet their expectations?
>>531089390Dark times ahead.
>>531089390I just hope it comes out on Steam day one, I'm not going to buy a console for a single game (again)
>>531089390Let's be honest here, by the time KH4 comes out it's going to be $80 at least. $90 potentially.
Why does Terra Xehanort sound the way he does?
>>531099568very excited for GTA6 to be $100 and completely break the the industry.
I did it, i defeated Data Riku
Who should be next?
Can we all agree that sakurai totally based these guys on heartless?
>>531115114Yeah they basically are Heartless.
The command board game in BBS is fun.
>>531116602Should I doing the command board? Does it give good rewards? I'm playing BBS for the first time since emulating the psp version in the most jank way possible back in 2011ish.
>>531118137It helps levels up any battle commands you have and you can acquire new ones through them.
>>531118137If you're 100% completing the game, yes. If not, no.
>>531118137It's not really necessary and you can clear the game without ever using it
The commands you place on the board will receive decent CP boosts at the end of the game
>>531118386>>531118649Thanks, this was the information I was looking for. Also some of these Disney princess have been straight gagging for it from Terra.
>>531119004Thank you as well.
The Keyblade Graveyard BGM is so good.
>>531119070Cinderella/Terra and Cinderella/Aqua are two of the more prevalent ships involving a princess i've seen in the fandom.
>>531115114Mushroom Kingdom Soldier/Bandit/Pirate
>>531124935>Cinderella/Terra and Cinderella/AquaBoth of these seem cute in their own way cause Cindy is too cute herself.
Can we all agree KH1 is significantly more difficult than KH2? I was able to gold crown KH2 while remaining level 1 and can't make it past guard armor on level 1.
>>531144693Only on level 1, KH1 literally wasn't designed or play tested for level 1 they were just like "shit ok put a no experience ability on that and see if anyone can beat the game"
With KH2 you get every single combo modifier and limit and everything else (it's actually fun)
Gameplay>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>โฅโฅ>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Story
Before she was Hawkgirl, she was Ava. The voice cast of the Foretellers sure are an interesting bunch.
>>531154186Charm > Gameplay > Story
>>531075069>Jason Schreier corroborated it>Jason Schreier says there is a lot of speculation in the article. Confirms DQ is coming, but itโs not an ambitious remake.
>>531166703KH3 fails at all three
I hope the Foretellers arenโt clones of the main cast too
>>531171320i hope both them and mom don't ever reveal their faces, i feel like it would add nothing to their characters and only complicates things (especially if they go the clones or look alikes route like you mentioned)
>>531157720Ava was like one of her first roles in the "mainstream" industry right?
>>531116602Every time I replay BBS I end up spending hours on it.
>>531089390kh3 wasn't demanding it runs 100fps on gtx 1060 1080p, so kh4 is possible on switch 2
switch 2, pc, ps5 day 1 and disney casuals will make it sell more than ff7r2 and ff16 easily
Do you guys here care about community events like ReConnect. or March Caprice?
I just watched the Million Dream Awards segment of the former event's stream and I didn't knew 90% of the nominees.
I am already half Xehanort
>>531196339These events just make me more aware of how disconnected from the KH community I am outside of this general.
At what point did the Dark Seeker Saga go full retard?
>>531197160When they decided to call it the 'Dark Seeker Saga'
>>531191157>disney casualsEither outright don't care about anything other than movies, or know just enough about KH to stay away. Capeshit might, MIGHT, pull some more people in, but most have turned against it by now. Either way, we aren't aren't outselling KH3.

I like them working for Maleficent, it is cute.
Day 1191 of wondering what that thing in that forest could be if it isn't an AT-ST foot, and why an AT-ST foot/Endor would even be in an announcement trailer without officially acknowledging it.
>>531213925Nomura said in the past he likes dropping hints for people to "discuss" over on the internet, but at the same time he really underestimates how autistic people can be. Like that one secret message at the 20th anniversary event was decoded in a few hours and he didn't expect that
>>531234931>(the entity) makes a physical appearance in 1, 2, BBS, and 3's endgamesWonder what's it's role in IV.
So why did MoM sow discord among the Foretellers again?
>>531237736he thought it would be funny
Guard Armor Girl is confusion
>>531237736As a prank to contain ancient darkness in his apprentices.
>>531062371Real easy to get rumors and shit of literally anything except KH
>>531262174Only time we get any mention is when it's "No KH news at *insert event here*".
>>531168649Why can't these fuckers tell us anything about KH
>>531196339I know about em, but they seem too small to really be worth looking at, the latter especially seeming more like a way to make sure your video doesn't even get that many views if you have it be reliant on the event's name being in the search bar.
Anyway anyone remember Sora and Kairi's Wedding?
>>531262531>Anyway anyone remember Sora and Kairi's Wedding?I remember skipping over to some random chapter for some reason. Sora was telling Kairi about his time getting mind raped in Castle Oblivion to cheer her up. That's about it.
>>531262531Isn't this that one where Kairi fights the data organization or something
What happened to the cornerstone between KH2 and DDD? Afaik it was preventing Maleficent from entering the castle before. I know the answer is the writers forgot/don't care.
>>531306214it's more like it was preventing the castle from being overrun by darkness, i don't think it specifically repels Maleficent
Dancer bad dreams of broken bones and twisted limbs and wakes up sore. Thankfully as a nobody she's quite stretchy, even if less so than the less put together ones like dusk.
>>531322547I didn't think Nobodies (mook versions) had bones. They certainly don't seem to with the way they move.
>>531326890I was a total dipshit and forgot to mention this was in reference to a Dancer model I have that was auto ported from a ripped file off of PS2 kh2 disc to XnaLARA in like 2009 and how as blender keeps updating and the plugins to use xna don't the model gets progressively more broken (her right hand isn't attached anymore, bad vertex paint all over.) and it's funny. I have a video I need to compress to post here.
But in canon... They are human bodies still. Just heavily distorted and modified. They likely do still have bones, but they're just... Not well put together I guess? Like lower ranking nobodies have less dense, bendy bones. And as they are more human like they get more defined.
>>531322547She looks like she bounces on it for keyblade wielders
>>531197160KH2 with the Xehanort's Heartless/Ansem thing
>>531332456>It's the guy who's NOT Ansem.But we gotta pretend II did no wrong.
Hey, so i just seen that every single npc and avatar model do not have the right textures. Like Remus or Freya, etc. is there any chance someone can either let me know how to fix that or maybe send all of the npc and avatar models with the right textures, please? Also I apologize for being a bother.
missing link was cancelled cause they couldn't get the galaxy afro to look right so they just trashed the whole thing
I never want to see Xehanort again
>>531352636understandable
>>531376360If you're not part of the super secret discord run by leakers and KH content creators that throws tantrums everytime someone tries to leak stuff then sadly no one will ever see the full leak content of the lastest build
No.531378896
Oh i see. So the updated ones are technically impossible to get unless either you have access to the servers or you know how to edit textures. Thank you for responding. :)
The inevitable State of Play in September, I can feel it...
>>531236158the ones in 1 and 2 are fakes Xehanort bubba'd together from other hearts
>>531384504If you've got the game itself and the AES key, you can just use uModel to view them. I don't remember but you might also be able to export with it too
No one's ever really gone ...
>FF and DQ are basically a broken faucet at Square Enix with leaks
>meanwhile KH:
Of all series to be kept under lock and key. We're never getting a Monsters, Inc. like leak ever again.
>>531407908I would wager Disney has some sort of NDA some of the devs have to sign that is a lot scarier than the usual. That or nothing is really happening.
>>531408347>nothing is really happeningIt's this because KH4 isn't actually in development.
>>531407908ironically i don't think either FF or DQ ever got a proper actual leak like the monsters inc one, they just get the usual "my dad that works at nintendo said" leaks
I get the urge to replay the series almost immediately after I finish a series replay, no other series does this for me. KH really is special.
>>531443794the closest was the nvidia leak and even then we're still waiting for that FFIX remake
KH fans say they want a Days remake, but I know this fandom enough to know that not true.
>the worlds weren't even new when it first came out
>a mission based structure made purely for the portable format
>the most fillery Disney worlds in a game that doesn't blatantly recap KH1, and yes, that includes the gachas
>dual wielding Roxas (the only Roxas recognized nowadays) locked until the very end
>either the gameplay is kept, or change into something completely different, both of which wouldn't go over well
>Leechgrave and Ruler of the Sky
>a multiplayer mode that's guaranteed to last a month at best
The game is best kept as a memory or something that "could've been", that's how it's still revered. CoM and Coded got the treatment because SE still had a bunch of teams at their disposal, assets to reuse, and the alternative of them being stuck on GBA and outdated phones.
Union X deserves one more anyway. It's literally unplayable.
>>531455240>Union X deserves one more anywayI agree, and I'm satisfied with using melon mix to get my Days replay fix anyway, I don't want SE to use resources to remake games we can emulate.
>>531443794Even so, people that have turned out to be right multiple times bother to talk about both of those while conveniently never talking about KH unless it's just a straight "no it won't show up at this thing"
No one has info on this fucking series leading to hacks like Taichi_Aoki to spin their wheels and crap like "disney+ series" to keep being brought up.
Like, seriously? Not even some 50/50 insider has a rumor about this game? Or is it just naturally emitting some "steer clear" aura?
>>531459336maybe they just tightened up security, like that guy who went on twitter saying he was a VA on KH4, that was specifically given permission to say it and then deleted the tweet anyway
idk it's weird to me too
>>531464093>like that guy who went on twitter saying he was a VA on KH4Was it someone who has already voiced someone in the series?
>>531465895no, he's someone new to the VA scene iirc, and for KH4 he likely just had a "random npc chatter" role
>>531455240>Union X deserves one more anyway. It's literally unplayable.A thousand times yes. Days pacing was always be completely fucked, the mission structure works in a mobile game but is super boring in a console release. This game has so much reused content it's unreal, even CoM and coded can't compete. It would need a lot more new stuff to get interesting including that scrapped Prankster's Paradise world.
Do you think Xehanort does the "this heart belongs again to darkness" whenever he possesses someone's heart?
Why'd MX possess Terra instead of Aqua? Seems kinda gay to move inside another dude.
>>531479557Aqua was a weak shitter
>>531407908leaks always come from goyjins and natethehate type guys hate kh and never mention it during summer game fest predictions etc
>>531479557Terra's the most swole keyblade wielder since Aced in ancient times. Everyone else is a twink or woman.
Nomura...
Please...
Just tell us in-depth what Build is...
So tired of dumb normalfags thinking it's a Fortnite reference or a crafting system even though Yozora does the same thing...
>>531489401I've already made my claim, it's just the transmutation mechanic from the old Fullmetal Alchemist game. Where you turned catering carts into cannons n shit.
>>531489401i fucking hope we get dual wield build in the early game
dual wield in kh3 mogs other retarded osaka slop transformations
>>531397649Oh yeah, i have those files from this site and I extracted them but the thing is that files like freya and remus do not have their rightful textures, like for example Remusโ hair is supposed to be red but itโs gray, his outfit is supposed to be red but itโs white and so on and so forth.
Posting the best battle theme from the best world in the franchise from the best game in the franchise.
https://youtu.be/-KIPIGS4zkI
>>531479557Well his original plan was Ventus. But he turned out to be the jobber to the stars so he pivoted to Terra.
Dancer in a Wing Divers outfit! From EDF. Suggested by a friend.
>>531532465conquers all worlds!
>>531479557Ansem SODโs clothes should make it obvious Xehanort enjoys the company of men
>>531464093It's just stupid.
No leaks, Nomura and co. not bothering to talk about even ML's fucking cancellation...ugh.
I can't handle it.
>>531559926reminds me of when nintendo people refused to say anything about zelda totk
>go back to Poohs house after finishing 100 acre woods
>Pooh sitting in front of fire pit look disappointed
>Cast fire on it
>He gives me a Mythril
Thank you, Pooh!
Always find it funny that you can get endgame items on Pooh's world like different crystals like Mythrils, mega elixirs or orichalcum
>>531590581>>531577304Pooh is the best. I hope we see him in IV.
>>531593120I'm expecting a take on either Pooh 2011 or Christopher Robin 2018. both would work with the world of fiction thing desu.
>>531593445I haven't seen either. Heard good things about Christopher Robin.
>>531519449As much as I like it, I still wish we got He's A Pirate. It works amazingly as a battle theme.
I fucking hate Pooh. He's a selfish stupid asshole.
>arrangement of disney movie song
>original song
which way disney man?
>>531615645Boring answer: It depends. Though there's only like five worlds in this series that have their world themes be existing themes.
they keep trying to trick me into watching this movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YShVEXb7-ic
>>531455240A Days remake can work but they would have to rework just about every system and design choice because Days fucking blows
But you're right that in 2025 UXDR is in greater need of a remake, and would be a better final product overall
>>531600404Comic book Pooh maybe. Cartoon/KH Pooh is a good bear
>>531615645for me it's finding out what i thought original KH songs were actually disney songs
>>531618667feels like they did an opposite take of the og tron movie, instead of Flynn going into computers it's evil Tron coming in the real world and eventually saving it. Plus they visually it looks like legacy but closer to the og movie, that bit in your pic looks like the I/O Tower plus they brought back the grey skin
idk the feeling of it being bad is still there but maybe it could be good, legacy wasn't bad after all
>>531618667I hate Jared Leto but the trailer looked pretty hype, even more hype as a potential KHIV world desu because of the whole 'reality vs the grid' colliding.
It just occurred to me that we're probably gonna fight Xigbar (again) but this time he's gonna be wielding a keyblade.
>>531628417Legacy is one of the few modern sequels (and live action movies made by Disney in general) that's done anything for me. I'd love a third good Tron movie, but Jared Leto and their choice of director don't inspire much confidence in me. Maybe the dude's films from his native Norway are good, but Pirates 5 and Maleficent 2... sheesh.
>>531633018gonna be sick when he transforms No Name into guns.
>>531636118I think it would be interesting to get Pirates 5 in KH, but yeah I have zero faith in Ares. Since it took so long since Legacy and that one ended perfectly, I'm not interested in watching Ares.
>>531636575>Since it took so long since Legacyi mean it took pretty long since the og to legacy too
I only recently actually pushed through and played Re:COM for more than fifteen minutes. Finished the game.
I will not touch it again in further series replays. What a pile of ass that game is. Loved the story, hated the gameplay especially at the end starting with the Vexen fight.
I wish they made that one the "movie" and gave us Days as the second playable game on the 1.5 HD remix.
Oh well. On to KH2, on to experiencing nostalgic erections caused by Olette and Namine and the best version of Kairi.

>>531679237>Looks like Tomar>Sounds like RikuThat's so fucking funny
>>531685048Do you like rhythm games?
>>531685183Here and there. Can't say I've ever played a full on rhythm game, just games that have rhythm game activities in them.
>>531685648There's a pretty big gulf between a rhythm minigame and a full game dedicated to the mechanics
MoM is pretty much a perfect first rhythm game, it has an incredibly low skill floor so just about anyone can do it, and it has maybe the smoothest difficulty escalation that I've ever seen in a rhythm game going from the lowest-difficulty charts to the highest, which cap out at a pretty good difficulty compared to other games which start at a higher skill floor.
>>531687836>still not available on steamWell that's gay. I'm interested though; maybe I'll just bite the bullet on the Epic version.
>>531688662You could try emulating the Switch version.
>>531693597Why emulate when he could just grab a native PC release
>>531696062Epic bad. Unironically.

>>531696520If only there was some way to download the PC version with the Epic stuff stripped out
Subject X must've went or was taken to Scala ad Caelum (real). No trace of her in any of the OC worlds, no way she died an ended up in Quadratum, and doubt she went to any Disney worlds. This falls apart if it really doesn't exist in the present, and Mickey is just doing time shenanigans to go there.
pic unrelated :^)
>>531696846Epic was involved in the port. There's probably code that subliminally messages you to buy on Epic.
I just don't like that KH3 didn't give any wiggle room to the stories in the Disney worlds. You're just straight up watching Tangled and Frozen with snippets of SD&G reacting to them.
The Pixar worlds were great and much more explorative with having these three alien idiots dropping in on them.
>>531701343Blame Disney for restricting Nomura on that.
>>531058896who cares 3 was shit kh 1 and 2 are the only ones that matter took them 20 years to make a shit game why would u wait for new one
>>531701343>>531701667This series is fucked because of the Disney aspects. Everyone knows the OC stuff is what people actually care about, and they can't even make the Disney content more interesting because Disney won't allow it.
>>531701667Oh, I'm aware. Disney HATES fun. Everything they do is so fucking corporate now it's insane.
>>531701743We're going to look back and wish they just ended the series with KH3. I know a lot of people are out there who say it should have at KH2 in hindsight but I'm actually okay with some of the stuff that came after.
>>531701737The series could 100% continue without Disney in the picture; it would lose an unimaginable portion of the fanbase but I'd still play it.
It'd be fun if Sora went between Final Fantasy worlds instead moving forward. I'd love to see Sora clash with Kafka.
I mean, the series would be doomed financially, I'm just saying in terms of plot and story it could totally go on.
>>531701850BBS was great and I still like KH3 a lot, so yeah, I don't think I'd lose any sleep over KH4 getting canceled and the series being dead in the water.
>>531702069It would suck to have the series end when Sora still needs to make it back home.
>>531702167Pretend Re:Mind didn't happen and he died.
>>531701959Honestly, as bad as Disney is, FF is also in a really shitty spot.
>>531702243If we're doing that I'd rather just pretend everything after KH2's ending didn't happen. That would have been an ideal series ending.
>>531702261Then this would be a good way to remember when it was fun and whimsical.
The FF16 world being as visceral and adult as the actual game would be funny though. Sora hearing someone say fuck and seeing a pair of tits would be hilarious.
>>531702345I just don't wanna give up my girl Aqua. Maybe she is a bland character but god dammit her story was good.
>>531702810Maybe they could have retired Sora as the main protag in KH2 and then used BbS to transition into a new set of characters for the series instead of making it the justification for Sora to go on another adventure
>>531703513Change that letter in a bottle from "you got shit to do" to "thanks, we'll take it from here"
Could've worked
When will Square break the news KH4 has been cancelled?
>>531712384It's not cancelled, just delayed to PS6
>>531704459>hasn't played the games>literally calls shadows nobodies>somehow already semi soriku pilled via riku fans/his chatHe'll definitely continue being diplomatic but it'll be interesting seeing what he thinks after seeing scenes and the series play out first hand.
>>531713939How is soriku still a thing?
>>531713939If he makes it all the way to KH3 I'd be interested to see how he reacts to his Riku performance and if he has any insight into that
>>531725463Re:CoM will be the worst. Sora and Riku say each others name something around 50~60 times.
>>531726704I cant wait to hear his thoughts on Riku smelling people
>>531712384>>531713393nomura said in some interview that kh4 will release at the end of ps5 console generation which means:
8 years between kh3 and kh4 2019-2027
7 years between ddd and kh 3
this time we will have big final world with level design-exploration and mob fights for sure sisters!!!
>>531713939zesty ahh bald nigga
There is literally a fraction of a percent probability of this happening. Theyโre bullshitting on the rng, this is proof positive.
>twitter notification
>FFX's anniversary
>>531735324>kh4 will release at the end of ps5 console generationWhat are the chances of it being cross-gen with the PS5 version being shit compared to PS6?
>>531736727You're asking that and not calling out his "Nomura said" bullshit? There's only like two interviews about KH4.
>>531737385i can't find the interview :/ i 100% remember "next game will release at the of the next generation" quote
Nothing says "trustworthy" like all lowercase text and blatant seething about KH3.
>>531737385Regardless of what anon said, we probably have about two more years of the PS5 before the next console drops. The more time goes on with no news, the likelier it becomes that the game is moved to the next gen, or releases at the very end of this one.
>>531737650there's no interview like that, otherwise people at large wouldn't wonder when the game's coming out
>>531713939It's honestly a shame because I was expecting him to actually delve into the industry side of things and talk about his experiences with working on the games at such an early time when the internet was still new for a lot of people, but retards are just going to force shipping nonsense on him instead because they desperately need to be validated
>>531744309non white hands typed this
>>531701959>the series would be doomed financiallyHow many people are ACTUALLY buying Kingdom Hearts for the Disney content?
Between II and III the series survived almost exclusively on the backs of fans who were invested in the original characters and story
>>531735493I'm honestly so glad that I gave up Arknights and all over chinkware gacha games for good last month. I've played more actual video games in the past month than I have in 5 years.
>>531725216Fujoshi are mentally ill. You can show them scenes like the ending of CoM where Kairi is explicitly the most important person to Sora, or the ending of KHIII, and they'll find a way to warp it so that actually he's in love with Riku
>>531747359It's quite literally people that have never experienced friendship between two men before, therefor they must be gay. They'll always cite Sora falling to his knees when discovering Ansem is Riku as their source, when in reality it's just because the last time he saw him, he was in the Realm of Darkness and Sora had to close the door behind him, and then next he sees him, he's lost his body and taken the form of the guy who possessed him.
>>531744309LOW IQ ALERT people are retarded and don't read the interviews. Most people think kh4 development started in 2022 instead of late 2019 because first trailer was le revealed in 2022
>>531746719>>531748209there's still no interview like that
Riku is gay, let's be real.
>>531725216>>531747359I don't discount it entirely because there are compelling points but its definitely up in the air at best. The series has pulled some shit before like nobodies not having hearts/emotions but still the occam's razor pov doesn't rely on red herrings.
>>531753867as compelling as the tards that really believed nintendo was gonna cast a tranny to play zelda
>>531754178Nah that was blatantly just bullshit from the ether to bitch on twitter about
Looked up Vanitas fanart on a whim, and I'm genuinely afraid of him getting more relevance. Roxas was always seen by fans to fit the edgy Sora stereotype, despite him leaning more towards being a tragic figure with deserved angst. But this hot topic fag? Lord help us.
>>531725216How are people asking how soriku is still a thing still a thing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fCmst7IUjk
And now Terra, it is time for the final union!
>>531761071>if two people share one their destinies become intertwined>posts pic of people eating separate paopuswhat did he mean by this? yes I'm being facetious
I don't agree with soriku, but I respect it.
>>531757917Dread it. Run from it. The Vanitas game arrives all the same.
>>531757917It can be done right though. Aside from the Darkness that talks to the MoM and Maleficent he's the most prominent one of the bunch and so can be a spokesperson on their perspective. KH3 didn't give me much hope on that matter though.
>>531753867>The series has pulled some shit before like nobodies not having hearts/emotionsThis was foreshadowed as early as CoM
>>531779163So was soriku, that's the whole point
>>531757917the gigas have unversed emblems on them, so brace yourself
>>531781019That's a different symbol, though it does look similar with just a quick glance.
>>531757917A fag? What he is... is darkness.
>>531780585Except SoRiku is not implied by the actual content at all, ever
The only way you can read it like that is if you genuinely cannot fathom an emotional relationship between two boys that doesn't involve romance
How unforgiving will KH4 be to people who know nothing about the mobile games?
>>531783339First trailer had Sora interact with a mobile game character while another mobile game character narrated it, while (probably) former mobile game characters were watching over him at the end, with the game's associated arc named after a group of formerly mobile game (formerly browser) characters.
Nomura wants IV to act as a semi-reboot, but it'll be a miracle if he can achieve that.
>>531783126You have to be willfully ignorant to deny the increasing queer bait with each game. Whether it leads anywhere is another question and we'll have to wait and see.
>cannot fathom an emotional relationship between two boys that doesn't involve romanceExcept I can fathom it when the other male characters dont have arcs to pay off but nice strawman lol
>>531785848>when the other male characters dont have arcs to pay off... What are you even talking about?
What arc?
>>531786128not a fujo
>>531786246>What arc?the fuck you mean what arc, we played the same games. I'm not asking people to agree on the ending none of us can predict, just to get your head out of your ass acting like speculation isn't worth discussing because of fuckin shipping & fujos.
keep acting like the series has never implied one thing and done another and had it make sense in the end. the reason the story has a reputation is because nomura likes twists like that.
>>531789330You are a fujo, I'm sorry
You are seeing things that aren't there because you want the boys to kiss
>>531789330Are you at least a woman?
>>531757917I really like that he reused Riku's Dark Suit. Hopefully he still has it so it isn't forgotten. KH1 designs were my favourite.
I also love how he surfs on keyblades probably because of how Roxas was a skateboarder.
Fujoshit legitimately scare me. I tried asking some why they're like that in a KH place and I wish I didnt. It reminds me of how people with delusions cling on to them and anything that breaks the delusion is seen as a threat and makes them emotionally volatile. They were saying how it makes them emotionally fulfilled on a deep spiritual level so its important to them and LGBTQAI+. And then I brought up how it could be seen as similar to how lesbian feminists have a problem with lesbian porn because it fetishize that. They also do that furry thing where they claim it's not sexual just a lifestyle.
>>531115114How did they get away with this?
>>531701959>The series could 100% continue without Disney in the pictureDisney owns it retards.

>>531822268I restarted a whole series playthrough for the first time in years because I bought Re:Mind a WHILE ago and still haven't played it. Every little thing I see about it looks so good.
>>531759873I thought that was Vulpes
Every time I see Jiminy on Sora's shoulder I think Sora is about to grab his head and take a bite out of it like an apple
>>531704459He looks like he'd be on the back cover of a book
Or one of those guys in paintings of philosophers.
>>531713939The first two I get desu. Most VAs rarely play the stuff they work on, and mixing up stuff is par for the course sometimes. I watched Nolan play CoD Zombies on a vid once and he mistook Mule Kick for Juggernog.
>>531725216It's a mix of 00s shipping persisting and the fact that Sora and Riku just have a fleshed out dynamic that's easy to read as romantic even if no blatant romance signs are there. They got the interactions, the metaphors, all of it. Not to mention being two anime pretty boys that are very major characters.
>>531753867Like, I ain't gonna trash someone for shipping Sora and Riku. If ya wanna, go ahead.
It's the people who make full on novel-length theories about the "Sleeping Realm" and "Aitsu" that I can't stand.
It's blatantly misunderstanding the actual story to push a narrative of a fucking anime/video game pairing.
>>531795090He thinks he's the /khg/ hall monitor or something. Total weenie.
>>531809954The correct answer was cancelled, but you're not wrong.
>>531842442It's not getting cancelled, just delayed.
>>531842657>just delayed.can't be delayed if there was never a date to begin with
also my headcanon is that they're waiting for tron ares to be out cause nomura wanted a world on it, tron legacy wasn't even 2 years old when 3D came out with it in it
this world has been connected
Would KH4 still have gotten cancelled if KH3 was good?
Kino Hearts 3 is the best KH game
>>531863526It was so good we don't need another one
The series should have ended at 3
>>531863526On opposite day.
>>531863526said no one ever
>>531863526I don't know about all of that, but it is good.
>>531864220That's what happens when a bad franchise-defining game gets released.
IV is just going to be a proxy war between II and III fans ("See, they did this because of X game!"), while side title fans wonder where TVA and RAX are at and why they aren't playable. I fans knew the series wasn't consistent from the start when they played retreading card combat COM and style over substance II.
>>531863526KH3 was such a great game that a large portion of fans convinced themselves that it was bad just so they wouldn't want to play the series anymore, knowing that it would never be that great again and every subsequent game would be a huge disappointment by comparison.
>>531865194KH3 doesn't have fans
KH3 is the best game in the series no cap
This guy really gets tilted when you like a KH game.
In the KH general.
For a series with like 10+ KH games.
I bet Yakuza fans don't have that problem. Even Pokemon is more chill.
>>531866381Pokemon is absolutely not more chill about people liking a given pokemon game, it's way way worse.
>>531866381Every general has regulars who simply hate the game(s) the general is about. It's a weird phenomenon. They're just contrarians; they feel smarter or better than everyone when they take the opposite stance of the room. Pay them no mind here or in real life.
Been dealing with a cousin like that forever. Now he's big on tiktok for his sensationalist political takes. Go figure.
>>531867415Do you have to like every game in this series to post here or something? I find that a lot of of the KH3 hate comes from people who really fucking love KH2.
>>531867725>Do you have to like every game in this series to post herelol no, we have like three gacha games.
Am I ripping off KH if I make a game about a bunch of guys who go through a magical tower that basically has all kinds of environments in there and who lose their memory (on the surface, at least) the moment they enter the tower?
>>531868259I just don't see much contrarianism here. KH3 has a bit of a dodgy reputation in general among the fanbase. The idea that KH1 and 2 were excellent and the other entries were mixed quality honestly seems like the mainstream view, and the one I see most frequently here, at least when I visit. Think of all the people who whined about how KH3's plot made no sense and they hated it because they didn't want to bother with the "spinoffs" to understand what was going on.
>>531868547that's just super mario 64 if mario got amnesia
so nah
>>531867725I certainly don't. Re:CoM is one of the worst games I've ever played.
Re:Coded is canon but it's so self-contained we can just forget about it right?
>>531870427It only got referenced in one early scene in III, so yeah. Definitely wasn't a game made to tell a story, but just to play a KH1-like on the DS.
The thing that bothers me is that ALL official KH media is canon. I wouldn't put it past Nomura to hide crucial information in a one-time popup shop that carries significant weight in the ending of KH4. If an audience member sneezes at a KH orchestra show, he'll weave it into Sora's dream sequence in the middle of the game. That sneeze released a secret Heartless that snowballs into the climax of the spinoff that comes after KH4.
>>531870993>The thing that bothers me is that ALL official KH media is canonerhem ackhtually vcast is official (made by disney) but not-canon!!
also yes but i feel nomura wants this stuff to still be games you can play more than just lore drops no matter the media. Also i remember melody of memory not being canon at first, iirc disney asked them for a KH rhythm game but then found out they were making it as a non-canon game and told them to add plot to it to make it canon
>>531870993After having gotten into taroshit, Nomura seems like a reasonable individual. You have no idea how bad it can get.
>>531872196I sort of see what you're getting at here, but isn't Drakengard 2 not canon because he wasn't involved? Or has he tried to work that in somehow
>>531872454I think it's canon, but pretty much everything is. At the same time, afaik it hasn't mattered much, it's kind of just there. But I'm just a casual with regards to Taro.
I chose to skip Drakengard 2 anyway.
>>531872196Imagine if Nomura and Taro collaborated to make a new IP. You'd have to buy instant ramen with the correct serial numbers to understand why the main character is missing a finger in the second game.
>>531877280They did a good job on modeling and animating Sora in Smash. I find him satisfying to play, if a bit weak.
>>531870427>>531870609>>531870760Itโs all fun and games until Data Sora becomes a real boy.
>>531877556I'm honestly surprised they didn't do that in KH3. Everyone else got a fucking body.
Not that I'm complaining about Xion becoming a real girl.
I hate hearing Haley Joel Osment's adult voice coming out of chubby cheek baby face younger Sora. Fuckin weirds me out and they did it for like thirty seven games straight.
>>531870427In terms of raw plot details it's fairly sparse but in terms of storytelling, stage-setting and theming it's a pretty important one and I will die on this hill
>>531870993Compared to other Japanese media franchises, KH is rather merciful.
The worst was the scenes read by voice actors at the First Breath concert, one of which became Kairi's letter in KHIII, another was referenced in Re Mind, leaving only the third (a sappy Xion monologue to Roxas and Axel) which isn't really important.
Other than that, all of the canon material is in-game.
>>531871598It was Nomura's idea to add a new scenario, as he didn't want the game to "add nothing"

I thought Kairi's sex appeal peaked in KH2, until this was drawn.
Such lickable legs.
>>531832689>00s shipping persistingWith a new generation, right? Tell me these aren't women pushing 40 still pretending that Sora and Riku are gay for eachother.
You guys are overthinking it. Put two males in the same IP and fujos will make them a couple.
Soriku is only a special case only because it helped prime the explosion of fujo presence online.
>>531887140They're pushing 30, or in their early 30s. And that's ignoring the young shippers brought in with every new entry.
>>531886295Sora is so lucky.
>>531890439I literally can't imagine them getting physically intimate. I can see Kairi trying to initiate, rubbing on his crotch while she's kissing on him, but he's such a dumbass he's like "my pockets are on the sides, actually, do you wanna borrow something?"
>>531891156Would Roxas be just as clueless?
>>531891257I don't think so. He's a little more in tune with other peoples' intentions. Besides he's had TWO girls to learn from.

Why the FUCK hasn't Max been in the series? Isn't his D E A D M O M in Timeless River?
>>531895509Kairi gets her own gummi ship and goes on her own adventures. Goofy's son is one of her two Disney companions. Who's the other? PJ?
>>531896342Pluto of course, I want a mod where she fires up into the enemies like Riona does in FFVIII.
>>531896342>Who's the other?
>>531896538Kairi taking Pluto around to different worlds with an optional fetch minigame in all of them sounds pretty cute.
>>531895509We are missing Oswald, Mortimer, Ludwig, Butch, Max, PJ, Webby, Magica, Gladstone, Weasels, and Blot.
>>531891156They turned Sora into a fucking moron. I honestly think he was at his most intelligent in KH1 and then he regressed mentally.
>>531897618The old Sora called Riku stupid to his face because Riku was indeed being stupid. I want that Sora back.
He had some of those moments in KH2 too.
>>531897618>I honestly think he was at his most intelligent in KH1 and then he regressed mentally.to be fair the next game contains an excellent reason for that to occur
do u think that donald gets embarrassed when he poos out eggs in front of sora??? sorry if this ofends anyone but i thought it was a funny thing haha. and i would like to know if any of you have any pics of donald pooping an egg while he looks nervous or embarrassed i just want to see it for a few laughs haha. another thing i am wondering is what do you think the eggs smell like haha im just curious for laughs haha i would like to smell them
>>531897618>regressed mentallyTranslation: You just didn't like how DDD Sora acted. I'll be damned if the kid that finally told Master Xehanort he wasn't fit to bring the new world order and actually managed to save everyone was "mentally regressed".
>>531877458He's laughably bad.
>>531891156If goku can get down anyone can
The worst thing about shippers is ignoring the blatant evidence for the OTP the series itself pushes. Go draw your pictures, keep your mental illness out of canon discussion.
>>531828163I am doing the same as well since I missed ReMind and only played base 3. All the stuff from it looks cool, I just wish I had enjoyed the base game more.
>>531822268>actually holding handsGoddamn calm down Nomura.
>>531906202>Go draw your pictures, keep your mental illness out of canon discussion.If they could do that they wouldn't be mentally ill.
>>531899035I had no idea the yoshi egg thing was a full ass paragraph long until today...
>>531897038>LudwigLudwig was mentioned in Kingdom Hearts 3 somewhere but it was a blink and you'll miss it thing. He was the one who invented the moving pictures or classic kingdom or something. His mame might have just been on a texture. My memory is shit
>>531910083It's always funny to see porn artists try to do kind of normal poses but somehow it still looks like a repurposed version of Roxas getting a rope load blasted on his face.
Disney should give her to Nomura as a gift, a man deserves an evil waifu as a treat.
>>531880839Yeah you can really tell who barely plays Japanese games. It's really weird now too because Nier Automata is extremely popular. But I feel like people only played Automata or just jerk to cosplayers or something. And even back in the day I played .hack//which was one of the first multi media examples like this I can think of on the same console even before I played KH2.
>>531911021I really want Maleficent to get some sort of resolution to all the UX foreshadowing before he voice actress has to retire or worse. She's 69 now
>>531911351>dead screenlol
>>531911616>She's 69 nowHer voice has aged very well for the role, I hope so as well. Same goes for just more James Wood as Hades because I am greedy. I still find it amazing that they have gotten huge names like Christopher Lee, Leonard Nimoy, and Mark Hamill over the years (admittedly Hamill does a lot of VA work in general). Wondering who will be the ancient one they nab for KHIV, Patrick Stewart seems a logical possibility for some sort of role.

>>531870993>The thing that bothers me is that ALL official KH media is canonThat's because KH is the only mainstream videogame franchise in existence where every game (and even one movie) is made by the same person

Almost felt like it was apologizing for how he messed up in DDD. The only one he had no involvement in saving was Ansem the Wise, as that was all Vexen, Saix, and Demyx.

>>531945036I once derailed the thread with this very question years ago. I think the concensus was:
A heartless mother produces a heartless child that possibly has a dark body?
And
A nobody mother produces a normal human child, but depending on how much their body is distorted, by org 13 or otherwise (reproductive organs especially), the child might be distorted too or the mother is sterile.

Aqua deserved more playtime in KH3
>>531961995Objectively false.
Sora, Kairi, and Riku are only alive at all because their world got invaded by the fucking abyss.
They would've died on that stupid little raft, starved and dehydrated.
>>531992519Main KH games are about Sora, Donald and Goofy. If you want to play as a strong and independent woman you can go play kino like Forspoken
What's the in-universe reason for why Keyblades have Mickey's head for keychains?
>>531994141Same in-universe reason only two variants of the Keyblade look like a classic cartoon key.
>>531994253Isn't he more like Yoda?
>>531994537I feel like Mickey helped a lot more than Yoda. But then again, Yoda was ancient and on death's doorstep.

It took me this long to get into the story behind the mobile games. I knew about them, but like most, never bothered to play. I knew the story was crucial, so I just finished watching Everglow's UX cutscene video. Damn, it's pretty good. I'm about to check out Dark Roads next. I hope those games will be remade someday. But they probably won't be.
>>532008106It's from the official 358/2 manga so people be paying for it.
>>531993803>kino like Forspoken100% confirmed for KH4 by the way, its extreme kino will break Nomura's rule about only using his characters
So what's the point of keeping the general alive when KH4 is still ways away and the only things keeping it going are merch news, replays and mental illness?
I'm patiently waiting for the 1:1 Kingdom Key replica to be back and sale.
The current one in the SE store it's not 1:1 and it's surprisingly pretty small
>>532041851The proplica? Same. I'm sad I missed it. It's being resold on eBay but of course its way overpriced.
>>532041851How small are we talking about?
I'm gonna get a Kingdom Key tattoo and that will be the centerpiece of my vidya icon sleeve
Everything after KH1 was made up on the fly, but is there a more obvious example than Emblem vs. Pureblood Heartless?
>>532052010damn the official ones are pretty small
>>532052010The SE store may not be the biggest, but at least it's the most visually accurate, though only autists like me would notice.
Here's something that may or may not interest you. For your consideration.

>>532076339The narrative literally goes out of its way to say Xehanort was NOT the child of prophecy. Everything points to it being Sora. Stop coping.

>>532074419He probably isn't special. Sora is just who ended up in that position via MoMs manipulations.

"Build" will be Sora being like Mega Man or a Blue Mage. Fight a Large Body? Sora can now belly slide on the ground or do heavy slam jumps. Fight a Neoshadow? Sora can now do vertcial/horizontal spins. Anytime, anywhere, all at the cost of an EX gauge
Too complex to be true, but someday I WILL use Aerial Slam without having to play BBS, Coded, or DDD.
>>532088453Build will just be Ralph from KH3, but with a few more pieces.
>>532088453It WILL be like megaman X, but in terms of gigas as ride armor. Combined with custom robo I guess.
>>532091737>>532093497You could very well be right. Feels like Yozora tells us nothing compared to Lingering Will.

Finally beat yozo. Going back and doing some data bosses for fun. Wheel of Fate is fun as hell. If you time it right, doing a Waterga right before the finisher stops you from dropping combos with the dragoon jump. the next tier up is fun as hell too. Also dueled xiggy with arrowguns, that was awesome.
Name some formchanges.you think are underrated.

>>532050824everything went to shit when they added voice acting to kingdom hearts
>>532050824>is there a more obvious example than Emblem vs. Pureblood Heartless?Shadows don't release Hearts when you kill them.
You could be forgiven for missing that though, because you won't be fighting Shadows long enough to pay attention.

I think I know what gimmick's coming back...
>>532078342I miss it too, the game had fantastic enemy designs, they really should have made it into a single player game with a good combat system.
>>532164438it's literally the only thing i can give to gacha games (and similar online games): by virtue of being live service games they get a gorillion new designs for stuff like equipment, enemies, even characters. And it's the only reason i wanted ML for

If Xion carried the memories of Sora meeting Axel in Castle Oblivion, and Xion returned to Sora, then how were Sora's memories of Re:CoM lost?
>>532243407cause
>Naminรฉ manually removed those chain of memories (hey that's the name of the show)>Xion is her own person and those memories are in her own heart, which stayed separated from Sora's
>>532244194That second explanation doesn't really work because Xion also carried his memories of Kairi and he obviously retained those when he woke up.
>>532244340isn't that still because of Naminรฉ? Like the whole point was that com Sora wanted his real memories back
>>532093434castrated
>>532101147circumcised
>>532185708prostate removal'd
>>532265430>gee lois this is worse than that time i got keyblade vasectomy
Is the voice acting noticeably worse in KH3 than it is in past entries or is it just me?
>>532243407>>532244194>>Naminรฉ manually removed those chain of memories (hey that's the name of the show)This right here. The memories still exist, they just aren't linked anymore since they contradict with the memories that weren't the results or extensions with fake links.
Why Naminรฉ still needs those to restore Sora is anyone's guess. Days has good character writing but the lore takes a backseat in this game.
>>532276083Itโs not just you, the voice direction was garbage. Much of the cast sounded flat and bored out of their minds, which wasnโt helped by the fact that 80% of the dialogue was retreading things we already know to catch new players up to speed.
>>532276083SENA doesn't give a shit about quality localizations until its name is Final Fantasy
And even then...
>>532288686You wouldn't say this had you actually played VII Remake and Rebirth. At least those had the benefit of having Japanese voices without mods. Damn Disney.

I've figured out what IV's overcorrections to criticism will be
>hard as fuck on Standard
>overabundance of QTEs
>prologue twice as long as Roxas in Twilight Town (5 hours baby)
>flowmotion either gets brought back stronger than DDD's, or weaker than III's
Every KH game does some extreme shift in response to criticism from a previous game.
>>532323986>I've figured out what IV's overcorrections to criticism will be>>hard as fuck on Standard>>overabundance of QTEs>>prologue twice as long as Roxas in Twilight Town (5 hours baby)>>flowmotion either gets brought back stronger than DDD's, or weaker than III's>Every KH game does some extreme shift in response to criticism from a previous game.These are all extremely good things. In fact. I hope the prologue is 10 hours long and very slow paced and that we get multiple such slice of life sections throughtout the game
Kind of wish we get a scene of the characters hopping around either buildings or a forest like in naruto. It's not even that far fetched because they CAN do it.
>>532323986god i fucking hate flowmotion it does anything but flow it's so goddamn clunky
i'm not looking forward to ddd when i get there on my current series playthrough
>>532324389It was better in DDD even if it didn't transition into normal attacks as well but then they nerfed it in Kh3 and just made it worse. Honestly the real problem is less that it's OP and more that enemies can't counter it. Enemies in general need to step up the game and be more challenging. ReMinder that Dark Inferno is straight up just an Invisible variant and it was rad as fuck. Imagine that as a normal but high tier enemy.
>>532324389Where are you at? I am at Aqua's campaign in BBS.
>>532324936I just wish you could ignore its presence in DDD like you can in 3. I hate it that much. It's so clumsy and awkward and doesn't use an actual physics engine. If it used an actual physics engine it would be REALLY fun, but it doesn't you just have to kind of guess timing and positioning and hope for the best.
>>532325010Just finished the first Pride Lands visit in KH2. I'm going for a fairly complete run, not 100% cuz fuck that, but I want the Ultima weapon and to complete all the puzzles. MAYBE every chest, but I don't care that much.
>>532325116>engine. If it used an actual physics engine it would be REALLY fun, but it doesn't you just have to kind of guess timing and positioning and hope for the best.>Japanese game>Physics engineyou are asking for too much from this series, go play breath of the wild
>>532325382>names a japanese game in his dismissal
>>532291515Yeah except KH3 has Japanese voices without mods, retard.
>>532323986>>hard as fuck on StandardLiterally 0% chance. We can only hope that the game has Critical on release so it would be playable
KH4 will have the retarded panda from Turning Red twerking in the camera
>>532332209I posted this being facetious but it just dawned on me that KH4 is going to have some fucking STINKERS of Disney IPs to work with. Disney has made straight trash for the last six years and Nomura can only do so much with the IPs he's already used in KH. I guess there are all those straight-to-video sequels though.
>>532332502Don't worry he'll be so busy with Pixar/Starwars/Marvel/Live action remakes that he wont have time for disney
>Straight to video sequelsdon't make me laugh, there was a time when these were on the table but we can't get renaissance and earlier in general outside of mobile games
>>532333559I dunno man, they could give us Lion King 2 or ... Fuck that's probably the only one that's anywhere near being on the table.
All we're gonna get is Frozen 2 and more Pixar.
>>532332209A game with 10 trillion years of dev time won't include some shitty straight to netflix MEGAFLOP
>>532333875Oh, yes it will. Remember how deep Disney has their fingers in the writing now.
>>532334052Why the fuck would Disney ask to include a megaflop that no one likes and Disney pretends doesn't exist instead of movies they want to promote?
>>532334262Turning Red was a box office flop but it was the most streamed thing in the world for like a month and has a 95 or something. It's going to be in KH4 in some way. The panda will be a summon at the absolute least.
>>532334456Maybe like a minicameo is possible but obviously no one is going to include an ultraflop that no one in the world likes as a world when Disney needs to promote Frozen, Incredibles, MCU and Star Wars
>>5323348812019 was THE time to include MCU, and they didn't. I don't think we'll see MCU in KH.
But get ready for Luca and whatever else Pixar puked up with beanmouth.
>>532335000>I don't think we'll see MCU in KH.Enemies in 4 already have the gauntlet so it's essentially confirmed, and obviously Disney needs to promote it since it's flopping so hard
>LucaNo one is going to put ultraflops like this in the game with 10 milleniums of development time
>>532335260Your definition of a flop keeps getting looser
>>532335813Lmao it has 50 million box office. Do I really need to explain why that's a gigaflop?
>There was a moment in the darkness

Probably the best proof you can't expect world quality to equal movie quality. It's the not worst Disney world ever, or even in its game (we all know the easy answer), but the source material is one the best pieces of animation in existence. And it ended up as... this.
>>532344709We got Neverland without Neverland in it, always keep expectations in check.
Between Pixar being incredibly lax with the films featured in III, and just the sheer amount of their films KH has yet to adapt, I think all those fears about Turning Red, Luca, Onward, etc. are unfounded. If your name isn't Frozen, Disney couldn't give a shit. Like, just look at what's left to choose from.
And if by some chance they get picked, they'll at least be original plots.
>>532352702The problem with Pixar in KH is the problem with Pixar itself.
In those early movies the protagonists were mostly nonhuman because they wanted to avoid uncanny valley with early 3D and stand out from disney, but this makes most of them as difficult to adapt for KH as disney's animal movies like lady & tramp, bambi, etc.
Modern Pixar is criticized because its creatively bankrupt calarts beanmouth shit but they're also more likely to be adapted for KH just by virtue of being human.
Even the ones we got they needed to make world forms for, but that would be the case with almost all of them.
>>532344709Who the fuck thinks movie quality = world quality?
>>532332502you're focusing on the wrong thing, they're stinkers cause of plot and characters reason, all things KH worlds usually change. You have to see them as videogame levels
>>532359871>all things KH worlds usually changeSadly, not anymore. Pixar, sure, but the Disney IPs are not changed in the slightest since KH3. SD&G just witness the movies in real time and offer minimal commentary and the important stuff happens off to the side without any influence.
>>532341263>>532341459A custom Keyblade weilder character was such a good idea, making it multiplayer so you could show off your cool characters was a good idea, but fuck this game was so boring and tedious to play.
>you just want Dragonball Xenoverse but KHyeah i do
>>532361880That was also most worlds in 2
>ten gorillion keyblade weilders with unique designs and animations
>all of organization xiii
>other non-keyblade fighters like donald and goofy
So where's the fightan game?
>>532362340To a far lesser extent. SD&G actually had some influence on the plot in those worlds, but go play KH3 again. You're just watching the movie Frozen between Heartless mobs.
>>532362438Frozen and Tangled were just the movies, but Olympus, BH6, and the Pixar ones were original. Beast, Mulan, Pirates, Mermaid, and Lion King were more interesting than the princess worlds in 3 but they're twice as many.
I think Goofy would have mentioned Max at least once if he existed in KH.
>>532363469He doesn't exist in Nomura's canon but he can start existing at any moment
>>532363321BH6 is Pixar, that's why it was able to be what it was (and honestly it had the best plot of all the non-KH-original worlds in 3). Olympus only got a pass because they exhausted the original movie in 2.
Pixar was cool about it I guess. Though part of me is wondering if Nomura was told NOT to use the original stories for those ones.
>>532344709I liked Pride Lands though.
>>532363638Really the only things wrong with it were all the same things wrong with KH2 in general. They did NO musical scoring for the cutscenes and the environment was fucking blank and ugly. Also the lack of animated faces where the scenes really should've used them.
>simba watching mufasa fall and get trampled to death: :D
>>532363469>>532363564There's enough memory fuckery in KH to introduce him any time. he could've had his own chain of memories adventure and everyone forgot him.
>>532363572BH6 is Disney, retard.
>>532363868Fuck you're right. My brain mandela'd that I guess.
Now I'm wondering why the inconsistency. It's technically kinda Marvel, too, so maybe that? I dunno.
>>532363843No need for an yfuckery. Goofy can just say
>Ya know? I have a kid>A KID????>Yeah, I just never told you because I got too busy with working for the King
>>532364148Would it be a Goofy Movie or an Extremely Goofy Movie when we go see him for the first time?
My vote is Extremely because it would work better with Goofy showing up out of nowhere and I simply like college age Max better as a character
>>532364287I'd prefer first movie max because it feels like the platonic ideal and he'd be the same age as sora & friends, but at the same time it'd make the most sense for goofy to not be raising him because he's already in college.
>>532364287Obviously no one is adapting Goofy Movie into a KH4 movie. It made the same amount of money as shit no one saw like Luca
>>532365105Actually when you adjust for inflation A Goofy Movie did significantly better than Luca. But that's neither here nor there because that's not even what we're discussing.
Olette is definitely a freak in private. She'll probably be like "hell yeah" if you suggest peeing in her mouth.
>>532365698>tfw never ever
>>532363972cause you're thinking in companies instead of people. How they covered each world depended solely on the related team that worked on it (by virtue of all being pretty recent, so most that worked on that movie were still there at disney), and some teams were more collaborative than others. Tangled for example was a retelling cause the tangled team was making that sequel show, Frozen ended up that way also because the frozen team was making frozen 2 and didn't want them to actually touch the ip (even though disney allowed them to do it, further proof there's no real higher up mandate on how to develop the disney worlds, the frozen team would've likely vetoed them from making it in the first place methinks), and the BH6 team was especially collaborative cause they too had a sequel show but they still let them do a sequel plot anyway. And then there's pixar whose spokeperson outright said the KH worlds were canon to the movies (which isn't actually true, at least for monsters inc)
this whole thing always happened, it was less prevalent back then cause for the individual worlds the people that made idk cinderella were all dead so they had no input (but disney still vetoed the princes rescuing the princesses in hollow bastion for example)
Would you prefer if future games put 1 guardian of light OC in each filler world or just ignored and gave them nothing to do?
>>532369472What does OC mean in this context? You are refering to the seven characters from KH3?
>>532369617I mean any of the main trio characters and protagonists outside of SDG
>>532369713Hopefully BBS trio doesn't appear at all, except cameos, Riku is already confirmed to be important and Kairi will obviously have her strong woman moment because it's 2025+
>>532368862Imagine waking up every morning to this beauty.
