Kingdom Hearts III Pre-Release Spoiler Discussion Thread

So we really only get 7 unique Keyblades?

I'm more upset by the fact that so many of the Keyblade designs are distractingly ugly and over the top, but I also wonder what the incentive is to use some Keyblades over others in this game. I already know it's not going to be the transformations that do it for me. Stats and drive forms would help.

Leaker showed the whole magic menu, here are the spells

Firaga
Waterga
Curaga
Blizzaga
Aeroga
Thundaga

RIP magnet and stop

I haven't given much thought to magic in this game, but that does seem underwhelming. Depending on how the spells function it might not be so bad, but if it's all just spammey AoE stuff... :/

KH2 had 6 magic, but all the spells were super solid. Waterga looks alright, but we haven't even seen aeroga.

 

[alexis.anagram]

I just hope that, since there's actually water magic this time around, Demyx is made vulnerable to thunder like he should have been in KH2. Felt like a rude awakening when I found out it was actually fire that wiped out his clones.

But yeah. Any defensive spells? Would be nice.

Waterga's barrier when it starts seems to act like a shield, it could be used offensively and defensively I guess.

 

[I_Need_ThemLeaks]

Idk some of the other leakers posts seem viable to me. We'll see soon. I know he's not the only one running around with a copy of the game.

Did everyone forget the effect of the magic changes with the keyblade transformations? We could have lots of different uses for each one

Nothing that I necessarily forgot, but with everything else that's been talked about it almost seemed minute in caparison.

Ok, this isn't all that related, but whenever I see someone complaining about lack of "side content" or lack of "post game content", I'm just gonna assume they actually mean "lack of thing that involves beating a guy up".

It's more of I really don't like playing minigames for post game content. BBS is the epitome of mini games and post game content, I hope KH3 offers some variety, and especially hope that a day 1 patch adds something. I guess I could always replay on crit LV1 or something.

I'll give a proper response tomorrow, I promise. But it's 1 in the morning, I just got back from work, and tbh my vape is higher than usual and the nicotine is getting to my head a little (I'm such a b*tch def not a vape God). It's because of all of that stuff that the beginning of your post was so cinematic to me xD

I meant what I said was weird, haha.

Era thread is all doom and gloom right now. Honestly I don’t think we should take this leaker seriously without video proof.

 

[Scala's Hope]

I feel like there are people who would enjoy more if the game was unfinished or bad just to shitpost about it : (
Also people demonize the osaka games way too much. It's true they are no kh2 (which is one of my favourite games of all time) but they are good games. I enjoyed both BBS and DDD when they came out

Hard to know what's real or fake anymore, but if Riku and Aqua really die as I've been hearing from "leaker part3" that's two of top 3 my favourite characters down. :frown:

Not sure how I feel about the word reset and Sora forgetting his new friends either.

KH1 - My friends are my power.
KH3 end - Who are my friends?!

Gameplay-wise, definitely.
All anyone talks about is how "floaty" the combat is.

I actually agree with all of the criticisms lodged against the Osaka games for their "floatiness," and that KH2 has the tightest gameplay. But people in the community have become fixated with this concept to the point where they claim that the Osaka games are ruined by floaty combat. It's so overly dramatic. If the gameplay is really that bad, it's a wonder how folks have stuck with the series for the past 12 years.

It sounds pliable. The memories would be engraved in his heart for forever so he could never truly forget.

Seriously at this point everyone dies . I read almost every name of the good guys. So right now it’s again like knowing nothing because I highly doubt they are gonna kill Riku, Terra, Ven, Aqua AND Lea .

Since I don't know what should be in a tag and what shouldn't

Spoiler Show

I believe I read earlier that Aeroga is an offensive spell like in BbS? What a shame they actually brought back Aero only for it to be nothing like the KH1 spell. Like we needed another offensive spell when there are 4 of them already.

I definitely haven't forgot. Each Keyblade and transformation has it's own unique shotlock too iirc. I plan to test each combination out

Considering the magic staff has no changes, I'm expecting others to have none or copy pasted from another Keyblade.

That's why I wonder what's the point in trying to get spoiled for everything and not wait for the game's release? I'm not saying you shouldn't be spoiled, but aren't there some things that you wouldn't want to be spoiled?
