No doubt many of you remember the opening scene from Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] where we discovered Xehanort - no, Ansem - attacking the other apprentices and stripping them of their hearts. We were never able to see Xehanort himself, but do you know who was? Sub-Lead Programmer from the Osaka Team, Masashi Nakamichi! And from what he says, perhaps it was better that we didn't see him at all.

In the cutscene from Xehanort's perspective that runs right after the opening of the game, we had to make his head smaller so it wouldn't show on the camera. Looking at it from another perspective you see he has a normal body with a tiny little dot of a head on top, it had me in stitches. It's such a shame I can't show you.

Xehanort with a tiny dot of a head sure would have been a sight to see! We've provided this mockup for how it may have potentially looked, give or take a few pixels:

 

Amusingly enough, Xehanort wasn't the only victim of voodoo head-shrinking! Because his new haircut made his head appear too large, Riku also required a cranial resize.

Can it really be true? The trivia is back!? (;゙°´ω°´) (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧

Well at least no can accuse Ansem of having a big head.

8D Trivia's back!!!!! <3

That's rather amusing to think about since Xehanorts ego should make his head enormous. x'D

Yeah trivia is back! We planned on bringing it back earlier but then E3 happened. And then post-E3 stuff happened. And then too much news happened. And then Japan Expo happened. Obviously this trend would have continued until we stopped caring so we did exactly that 8D

The hilarious thing about this is that they had to shrink Riku's head as well in KH3D because his new haircut made his head look too big.

Why couldn't they make the cut scene in a first person view? Or is this how they do that.

That cutscene was in first-person, from Xehanort's point of view.

Edit: Actually I'm going to add that Riku thing in. I don't know why I didn't do so to begin with.

Aw, I miss tribia~

I remember discussing this, and it's such an amusing little tidbit. I didn't realize they had shrunk Riku's head though! KH1 models had some huge heads and feet, man.

Welcome back trivia!!! You have been missed. I always thought there was something off with Riku's face/head, this is probably it.

Actually posted it last night (which was poor planning on my part lol)

We got a lot of feedback about them from the survey, so unless there's big news, we may return to our daily trivia updates.
