wat

What were the secret cards?

Merch News:
4 new Kingdom Hearts Funko Pops are releasing this Wednesday; Lingering Will, Xion, Dual Wielding Roxas, and Master Xehanort

>>538223275
The two secret cards have the KH3 Remind menu screen artwork and the KH2FM + CoM artwork. Both of them have a gold foil and Nomura's signature on ít.
This is the 1st secret card

>>538224653
And this is the 2nd secret card

>>538224653
>Kairi's exposed legs

>>538224653
>>538224736
Thanks

KH fans just couldn't handle that the characters didn't interact with everyone like their fanfictions. Like they expect Roxas to have an identity crisis about looking like Ventus when he already accepted being his own guy, and Xehabort is seconds away from becoming God. I blame the MCU.

I'm not expecting IV to be like COM or DDD in giving Riku playtime, but I have to wonder what's going to stop Riku from immediately reuniting with Sora in Quadratum. Because Nomura loves separating those two for an emotional endgame reunion.

>>538226202
So lickable. I bet she smells like sea spray and flowers.

>>538227519
KH fans haven't recovered from KH3 being shit and this post is proof

>no one validated my post so i'm replying to it myself
Both of your posts are retarded

>>538235542
full-blown schizo ^

>>538228340
>but I have to wonder what's going to stop Riku from immediately reuniting with Sora in Quadratu

The dream we the end of KH3 had Riku in a totally different area than Sora and Yozora watching Riku. So my answer is just distance and Yozora might be antagonistic to him. Yozoras antagonists, gigas too

Maybe it wont last very long like we arent Texas very long in 2s prologue really.

>>538228340
I think Unreality might have different layers or versions. Kind of like in Dream Drop Distance, where Sora and Riku were in the same worlds but still separated.

Maybe something similar is happening here. Sora is in the version of Unreality where he won the fight against not!Noctis, while Riku is in a version where Sora lost and got frozen.

Also, Riku’s eye has that strange coloration. What if it allows him to see across different realities? Maybe he can glimpse the version where Sora is. Or it could be tied to the astral plane somehow.

>>>538012296
>>538012296

>could be completely misreading things but I think Nomura is going for Quadratum as a limbo/graveyard for incomplete narratives (in both a literal and meta sense

I think all the meta stuff is probably true too but I think it's also really supposed to feel like an allusion to the afterlife and real life at once. I cant get into this too deep but all of humanity revolves around stories. The MoM stuff has major allusions to theology from Norse to Christian and the way he talks about unreality is the same reason why people believe in the afterlife. People need stories basically.

I wish the Neverending Story was Disney so it could get in KH4.

I'm a retarded manchild I'm not ready to be 40 and waiting for KH still

>>538236353
>Maybe something similar is happening here. Sora is in the version of Unreality where he won the fight against not!Noctis, while Riku is in a version where Sora lost and got frozen.

If it's the world of fiction it figures there could be some sort of author figure.

Give me some scraps on lore Nomura pls the ML leaks weren't much.

>>538236353
>Or it could be tied to the astral plane somehow.

What actually is the Astral Plane again?


Scrap and Build could mean reality warping is effect. Create and destroy. We haven't had that trope of a FF boss becoming a God yet really. Well succeeding anyways

>>538237359

Will KH4 get another teen boy icon in as a main character?

>>538246000
Does Kyle Massey count?

>>538251937
Isn't he a PDF file?

>>538252904
????
Humans cannot be pdf files, that is a file format

>>538254228
It's an advertiser friendly way to say that he likes kids in an evil way.

>>538227519
>I blame the MCU.
makes no sense to do that when the mcu also has characters that are in the same "team" but never actually interacted with each other
i also don't see what's so bad about it, feels like everyone that complains about this is some basement dweller that has never been in a place with more than 5 people

Just one crumb of news..... please......

>>538256754
We literally just got news yesterday you greedy bastard.

>>538254406
We are on 4chan. I doubt advertisers care if you say pedofile, I mean what are they gonna do, demonetize your posts?

Recess world when?

>>538258572
It's polite to make 4chan profitable.

>>538262182
What a fucking stupid discussion. Yes, he was sending nudes to underage girls and got caught in like 2020 I think.
But even if that didn't happen, it wouldn't be him, he fell off a lot earlier than Dylan Sprouse did. Dylan Sprouse was still a household name when he voiced Yozora and Kyle Massey was still only known as Cory if anyone recognized him to begin with.
If KH4 releases within the next two years I think Finn Wolfhard would be a candidate.

>>538223039 (OP)
So with the Musketeer world in mind, was Mickey married into royalty?

>>538227519
no i blame KH3

>>538266492
ye
Disney Castle/Town? Actually a France colony

SOON

I want to fuck the goth bunny doll boss in KH3 Toy Box.

Melody of Memory is actually pretty fun. I'm dogshit at rhythm games so I'll keep on beginner mode but I'm enjoying it.
Kairi's narration is interesting. She sounds like she did in KH2 but it's still Alyson Stoner credited for the voice over. Did she suddenly get really good at impersonating Hayden Panettiere? I'm not complaining, KH2 Kairi's voice is my favorite one for her. She sounds so vastly different in KH3.

>>538266492
No, he already ascended to royalty before going to the Musketeers world.

>>538277892
NTA but does that mean it was just a big larp?
Sleeping worlds Mickey isn't confusing until you include this one.

>>538277787
Based MoM enjoyer

>>538278278
I got curious and flew my gummi ship all the way out to see how long the tour map is and I actually got really excited. I'm only a small couple of steps into it but it's so comfy for now.
I'm guessing replaying this will be a great way to recap the story when KH4 drops in 9 years.

>>538278015
He was undercover, by the time of the Musketeers he already knew about other worlds and keyblades and the game makes it clear that it isn't some form of Disney Castle. The bigger question is whether Donald and Goofy are from Disney Castle or not but they probably are since Timeless River was familiar to them even though IIRC only Mickey acknowledges that he's from another world.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4Q4JjYqZ3E

Fucking lol. Probably coincidence, but a really funny one at that.

>>538283726
Wrong thread babe?

>>538283981
Nah. you'll know it when you hear it.

>>538284102
Oh he said darkness. Cool.

I kissed my monitor

>>538284891
Good job you kissed a DUDE

>>538285781
Isn't Xion technically an android? Or is she more like 18 and is a cyborg?

>>538285781
Xion is a cute girl

>>538286936
Replicas are basically human I thought, just containers for Hearts/Souls.

>>538287018
I know I'm just joking but it'd be fine if she a cock too.

>>538286936
>>538288864
I think it's Vexen or Ienzo who says that Replicas are completely human once they get a heart; I can only assume that means EVERYTHING that comes with being human.
>>538288864
As long as it's really small and pink.

>>538286936
You could argue that she's like a soul/magic android weird thing in Days but the Replicas that Vexen made in 3 are so advanced that she's basically a human now

If someone spread a rumor that Xion has a dick and all of the Organisation members believed it would that turn her into a futa?

So
>2027 KH4
Seems very likely, what then?

Also it will be next gen, or cross gen.

Face My Fears would be a good song if it weren't for Skrillex shitting all over it

>>538293835
I remember when I bought a PS3 thinking 'gee whiz I can't wait for the two games I bought this for, MGS4 and KHIII'. I know better now.

>>538293969
I'm a fucking dweeb who unironically likes that kind of music so I actually really like it as is, but it would have been a lot better if the glitchy dubstep parts were done using the same melodies and rhythms with djent guitars.

>>538294182
Doesn't help that when you look up metal/rock covers of literally any song on YouTube it's just the guitar playing every single instrument's part with legato and no rests.

God I hate the KH subreddit. Like, reddit is bad in general, but that specific part of it really is awful. You'd find more intelligent people on Twitter, Discord, and even YouTube.

>>538295393
Yeah because this general is any better lmao

>>538298147
>steady stream of fanart
Ah so you're the guy who made the spam bot

>>538295393
What else did you expect from a site that actually believed in this "leak"

What's the lowest amount of Disney worlds a KH game can really have? With the shrinking world count in each game it makes you wonder if KH is destined to become shorter and shorter.

>>538301289
Any less than KH3 had and it better be a 25 dollar game.

>>538301457
I think Nomura has already said that KH4 is going to have less worlds.

>>538301529
Then I hope it gets cracked quickly.

>>538301529
I really hope not, i don';t want one big open world i want lots of worlds to visit

>>538301672
Found it
https://gameinformer.com/exclusive-interview/2022/06/14/nomura-reveals-more-on-kingdom-hearts-iv-and-the-series-future-with
The problem seems to be about chasing graphics.

>>538301289
After KH3, I kinda don't want them to even do "Disney Worlds" anymore. Find some excuse to House of Mouse it and have one big hub world where all the Disney characters can hang out and interact with one another in fun ways. I don't want to play through some half-assed retelling of The Emperor's New Groove. I want to have to stop Kuzco from building his summer home on the Hundred Acre Wood with help from Robin Hood.

>>538301289
Only Disney worlds and not references/cameos like The 101 Dalmatians, Lady and the Tramp or stuff like The Incredibles or Jungle Book medals from X we have:

KH1 - 9 (10 if you count Disney Castle)
Com - 8
KH2 - 11 (13 if you count Disney Castle and Mysterious Tower)
Days - 6
BBS - 6 (8 if you count Disney Town and Mysterious Tower)
ReCoded - 4 (6 if you count Disney Castle and Mysterious Tower)
DDD - 6 (7 if you count Mysterious Tower)
X - 8 (9 if you count Mysterious Tower)
0.2 - 0 (or 4 if you count Mysterious Tower and the different destroyed areas of Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty worlds)
KH3 - 8 (10 if you count Disney Castle and Mysterious Tower)
Dark Road - 6
MoM - 23 lmao(if you count Disney Castle, Disney Town and Mysterious Tower)

>>538298438
Demyx is MoM's son.

>>538298147
Fanart is only valued if it's curated, IE a human is posting it. A bot flooding the thread with it is not valued, that's just unwanted spam.
Also your bot drowns out any discussions anyone tries to have, and nobody uses your filters.

>>538304550
And if we believe in the Missing Link leaks the that game would had 12 Disney worlds (13 if you count Disney Town)

>>538286936
Not all, we get a glimpse of one in KH3 and in it's ordinary empty state it's a white blank humanoid figure without any defining features. It literally likes like a clay figurine. It's more along the lines of a homonculus or golem, but once they're filled with a heart they're indistinguishable from humans in every way.

>>538261149
Never ever. BUT... I do kind of like the idea of seeing Roxas and Xion in a school setting. They might be powerful fighters, but they're kind of like babies in being inexperienced with life. They didn't have a childhood.

>>538277787
It started with Ice Cream Beat!
Could Fruitball and Rumble Racing also be made into full games?

>>538309504
I legitimately would love a KH racing game, but I'd want it to be ambitious. I'd want it go through every single world ever played in the KH series with a monster roster of characters to race as, including alts/skins for characters who have been seen in different forms. I'm talking all of Sora's forms, Kairi in all three of her outfits, Riku's many styles, Anti-Aqua, Vanitas with and without his helmet, etc. Side characters too. Hayner, Pence, and Olette should be playable. Pete should be playable.

>>538310970
And when playing as younger Sora, just fucking use KH1 sound clips for the love of god, or just recast his younger form because even ignoring this hypothetical racing game they're clearly not going to stop using short Sora.

>>538310970
Ambitious indeed. Wouldn't that be at least 40 race courses if each world gets one? And I bet some worlds could easily have two tracks. Agrabah's castle and city could be a course, and cave of wonders is its own course. Genie Jafar and Heartless could be stage hazards.

Anyways, I challenge you. Make a story! Make it important to the lore! And I don't see the likes of Master of Masters, Invi, and the rest of those serious guys getting involved in something silly like a kart race, but you get bonus points if you think up ways to make them fit into the storyline. I'll even reward you with extra credit if you include some hidden story scene that you need to 100% the game before seeing.

>>538312752
Easy, go with the staple of the series: It's data. Make it Sora's parallel story to Kairi's dive in Melody of Memory.
Sora uses the heart network he figured out in ReMind to upload as many memories as he can get his hands on to a computer and combs every inch of those memories trying to find anything that might help him escape Quadratum (side note, this will be the first time he "remembers" Chain of Memories). Things go south, he has to solve some other problem with help from his new Quadratum friends, and discovers some new information that sets up the next entry in some small way.
I won't bother with the bonus points because I barely understand Mastro and his disciples as it is.

>>538315189
That works pretty well. Datascape really opens up endless possibilities, so does worldlines. Have some crazy idea for a game? Put it in the datascape or its some alternate worldline.

Your story works great, but let me try. I was thinking about something like Dark Cloud 2’s golfing. It’s silly for those busy fighters to be spending time playing golf, but they’re closing time anomaly portals. Maybe something like that could happen in KH. The characters need to create gummi karts and ride around in a hurry to deal with anomalies caused by Darklings or whatever. Maybe racing across all worlds strengthens the friendship connections so that they don’t fade away due to a cosmic anomaly, something like that.

As much as I adore KH’s writing and lore, trying to think this up makes me appreciate the simplicity of the Mario world. Why are they having a race/sport tournament/party? Because they want to have silly fun. Done.

>>538309504
not those, but I still have my dream pitch of a Kingdom Hearts skateboarding game rattling around my brain. even got a story down of it being post-KHIII Twilight Town with a "saving the rec center by winning the prize money from a tournament" angle.

2025... I am forgotten.

I've been thinking. It's kinda weird how the Organization in KH3 keeps bringing up the "New Seven Hearts" and threatens the heroes with the possibility that they'll go after them if they don't play along and assemble seven lights and fight the thirteen darknesses. And I realized it's probably because in the time span between BBs and KH3, Xehanort probably realized, "Oh shit, my plans would have been completely ruined if Terra, Aqua, and Ventus just decided not to come fight me at the Keyblade Graveyard that day. It's a good thing they were so stupid. Next time I do this shit, I'd better have some good insurance to make sure my pawns have to fall into my clutches."

>>538340048
Xehanort's plans to forge the X-blade were inherited by his alternate selves, Ansem and Xemnas, even if they didn't remember it consciously. Their subconscious memory compelled their actions.
For Ansem, he gathered 7 shards of light in the form of the seven Princesses of Heart, reworking the plan into opening the Door to Darkness he was building.
For Xemnas, he gathered 13 vessels of darkness in the form of Organization XIII, reworking the plan into recovering (or recreating) their missing hearts.

The New Seven Hearts is just Xehanort telling the heroes that if they refuse to cooperate he's not phased and can still proceed without them.

Xion cute.

Fortune Teller hands you a soup

>>538340048
That's why we kill Eraqus in front of Terra.

>>538340048
I'd like it if Aqua or some other character eventually had a thought like this. The Keyblade Graveyard is cursed! They should know to stay away.
>Huh, the new bad guy wants us to gather at the Keyblade Graveyard? Should we just go along with this type of thing again even though the end result is ever dreadful? Hmmm...

We already know that the final boss of IV will be Bahamut. But not the FF one, but an ancient eldritch Unreality Heartless that looks like Destroyah from Godzilla named "Bahamut". It'll make the roided out Quadratum Darkside look like a puppy.

>>538373646
It'll be the penultimate boss fight as KH4 is going to be full of KH1 parallels. It'll be the Chernabog of the game, and after you beat it you'll be able to summon it.

>>538373646
>>538374374
Source? I mean besides your imagination

>>538374374
correct because we all know who the final boss is really gonna be.

Who will be the Maleficent of KH4's Quadratum?

>>538373646
That would unironically please me greatly.

>>538379738
Angelina Jolie's Maleficent

>>538380632
Oh god, what if Quadratum is connected to its own set of Disney worlds and it's all the live action remakes?

>>538380729
unlikely given disney themselves straight up said they're gonna stop with those

>>538381195
I didn't know that. Thank god.

>>538381195
they cancelled some, but several are still in production. a Lilo & Stitch 2 with Chris Sanders as a writer was greenlight after that remake's box office success. Disney might only be more selective with the remakes they decide to go with now if anything. if Moana With The Rock For Real makes bank next year, expect them to move forward on a Moana With The Rock For Real 2.

>>538389795
that's still something to be fair, it's like they suddenly remembered they need to make movies that make money

>>538304550
>8 Worlds in X
4 of them were Agrabah (OG, Return of Jafar, King of Thieves and TV Show)

>entire FF7 remake between KH3 and KH4
This is just cruel

No one is truly dead in KH except Disney villains and Repliku

>>538402601
DQXII is next after FF7. KH4 is a PS6 exclusive.
