News ► KINGDOM HEARTS Dark Road launches on June 22nd!

[Cumguardian69]

Just played 3 hrs of this...there's a reason why Flick Rush was a minigame with little focus inside DDD. Mobileshit gacha with insane power creep is NOT the direction KH needs to go.

Pros:

↓ seeing Xenehort in a positive light, the way he interects with cfellow students is not a snarky way, but more of a pensive thoughtful way

•seeing eraqus in a mu h different personality compared to his elder self, it is a wonderful way to see that the mans is goofy in the past but way extra serious in BBS

Cons:

♪ either the ENG translation is terrible, or we have more god awful writing, because SCALA AD CAELUM now is called a world separate from others, instead of the nexus from which all worlds spring. disgusting, we can't trust any of the so called lore in KH because every single game that comes after contradicts the previous one. lol

 == - I do not like the pacing, because deaths don't meana ynthing and you mindlessly grind out battles that have basically zero story relevance. even now

¶ we have decided once again that we are getting drip feed 5 minute text scenes for "story", we got no actual character introductions in this game intro, just huge yikes all around

 

[Hirokey123]

Uh...Scala was always it's own world so what is exactly the issue here? The nexus line was just referring to the fact it's the current form of Daybreak Town and Daybreak Town is the world from which all the worlds come from. Daybreak Town is where the war that destroyed the one world and split it into the many worlds comes from as well as the people who rebuilt the lost world. Sounds to me like you took a poetic description way out of context.

you gotta wonder if Xehanort would have grown up to be a different person if his friends still lived. Probably not but it is something to think about

 

[GreyouTT]

I love that Xehanort is the only one with Belts on his armor since it's an old design.

Anyone think the Emblem Heartless could be in this time due to Ansem SoD time traveling? It’s the only thing that makes sense to me at the moment unless they’re going to retcon him being behind their creation.

I'm sad we got only one episode.. it felt super short with most of it being just grinding.
also barely any character interactions outside of xehanort and eraqus is just meh.

When you walk away, you don't hear me say, pleaeaeaeaease, oh buddyyyyy, don't go!

Yeah maybe they should have waited for UX's ending to release this... maybe make a couple more missions, but this felt like very little ammount of content.

Can the translator please refresh themselves with the English script from past games?

It sucks seeing iconic lines mistranslated because they didn't catch the reference or intent.

Would you say they should commit it to memory?

Spoiler Show

Xehanort told Eraqus that the fact that Emblem Heartless are from the future is a clue, perhaps hinting that someone has the Book of Prophecies and is releasing Emblem Heartless around. Something like Vanitas releasing the Unversed in all worlds in BBS.[/SPOILERs

by the way, I prefer DR's gameplay to Ux's :v]

So they really are going to continue this trend of inteoducing awesome characters and then doing nothing with them, huh? Did they have to kill them off? I don‘t know, maybe this was just a preview and chapter 2 doesn‘t start „4 years later“ but if it does, damn

There's the possibility that, perhaps, they died during those four years. It doesn't make sense to introduce them as party members and later kill them off. Even make art about them. Even though Strelitzia was killed off, she's still relevant and brought back.

And honestly, it makes sense for them to have been killed off, seeing as how the current cast is already too bloated.

 

[Cumguardian69]

Jesus Christ, I wish these scenea were rendered in UE4 and voiced. I miss hearing Ben's snark

Lol. Introduced, oh I want to have babbys with Player-kun, killed. She aint relevant. She's the Kairi of UX

No, I know, but if that‘s what they were going to do why bother at all? Like obviously this would‘ve happened — but I didn‘t think it‘d happen this early

 

[Ballad of Caius]

I'm sure they have a narrative reason, we'll see.

 

[the red monster]

i think the entire game will show us what happened during those four years instead of skipping them.

Spoiler Show

This is a fairly common storytelling technique. You reveal the “ending” early on, making the audience think it means one thing. Then you go back to fill in what happened in between and the audience realizes the ending may not have been exactly what they thought. We’ve already seen this before in KH with BBS. Personally, I think it’s a good set up for the game’s central mystery since we already could assume something tragic happened to these characters. Now we get to focus on the how.

Enough to level up once
