Kingdom Hearts III Pre-Release Spoiler Discussion Thread

[KeybladeLordSora]

Apparently the leaker deleted a tweet before posting Hunny Blasters. It was most likely a picture with a cutscene going on in the background. Judging by one of the responses about it on the Hunny Blasters tweet, it was a cutscene set in Castle Oblivion.

So does anyone else looking at the gameplay find the regular keyblade combos...slow? I'm not even talking about float or anything...it just feels like the speed of the combos or time between them is very long.

 

[Launchpad]

The leaker's definition of 'spoilers' is becoming more flexible as we approach release date. Scala gameplay and secret boss gameplay are SPOILERS.

But I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact that he'll be getting no attention as soon as next Friday.

Someone actually said that to him. That soon he won't be relevant anymore.

He responded with an insult.

Brace yourselves.

We will all likely have to be wary of major story spoilers days before the Japanese release.

A 30 second clip of Scala and a secret boss arent necessarily story spoilers though. Well I guess that's not true since the Scala gameplayconfirmed Donald lived and both he and Goofy are still with Sora

Sigh, now I regret watching that clip

I wish they had shown that transformation earlier.

They are so powerful now that everything was dying super fast to those shots so it's hard to tell if they are any mechanical differences between the two. The only thing I had time to spot was that after a couple of the hunny shots all hit a single enemy, of which the only thing really strong enough to survive that was the big guys, they gained a yellow like coating on their model as if they are covered in hunny. But the heartless died immediately after so no idea if that actually changes anything. Right now I'm think maybe Hunny blaster is a guard form because the hunny has some sort of effect but the hunny has to "build up" on the enemy before it takes iplace.

Also can we just take a moment to appreciate how nice and seamless that transformation sequences is? Something about all those hunny pots just popping off and flopping all over the place is extremely satisfying.

The sounds for the hunny launcher are awesome! Definitely seems like a shooting star clone, though. Maybe the honey does do some sort of slowing of the enemy? Tbh, I couldn't really tell.

He's like "as long as it isn't story related it's not a spoiler."
Those polls he did was a joke. Basically baiting the KH fanbase with end-game stuff people have been begging for or stuff we've already seen. He's manipulating the fanbase and I'm annoyed and disgusted by it.

Just two more weeks and this guy is history.

Personally, I have my issues with games like XIII and especially XV... But VIII is easily my least favorite Final Fantasy. Didn't like a single thing about it. Not everyone shares my opinion but there's the second time you've heard it.

That being said, as someone that played KH before getting into FF, it just seems wrong to not include even the mainstay cameos

I have my favorites and least favorites, but I like most FF characters. Even with XIII, I wouldn’t mind seeing Snow, Sazh, or Lightning in KH. I think it would be weird though if

Noctis is in KH3 because, as so many people have already pointed out, Riku’s KH3 design seems in large part Noctis 2.0.

The leaker has three slow combo finishers equipped.

You say that as if they were every going to allow a Disney character to die outside of their established film plots.

Once upon a time I thought KH3 would feature many FF characters that debuted after KH2. I liked most of these characters as well, even from the games I didn't like as much. It's not at all a surprise that so many people would be disappointed with all of these expectations building up over the years.

After rewatching it to be safe, I'm confident that either enemies must scale somewhat with Sora's level or the final world levels must be pretty high. A fully upgraded keyblade, in the hands of a party full of 70-somethings not one-shotting Shadows and Soldiers? Even if they die somewhat quickly, this is definitely slower than anything in KH2 dies at Level 70 (unless it has annoying mechanics like the Sorceror or those car Heartless). I can only imagine what the Critical runs will be like.

Re: Sephiroth - Do I think that fighting Sephiroth is tradition? Yes. Am I bothered he isn't in the game? No, and to be honest, I WANTED TO FIGHT ARDYN! You can easily play that the Daemons are Darkness, and whatnot. In the chance that they make DLC boss fights, they'll sure as hell sure Sephiroth to promote FF7's remake.

Re: FINAL FANTASY - Am I bummed that Squall and the gang aren't in the game? Yes. But after watching the trailers and seeing the role every characters has in the overall plot, I honest to heart think that adding the gang would have been too much. The same way they weren't introduced in BBS because they would have been too much, I think they would have been too much here as well. Do I think there's a chance for Radiant Garden to be a DLC world? There is, but we would have to see how much work that would be for the team to dev.

Re: FFVIII - (Daily reminder that I need to play this game) I don't think FF8 is THE most hated FF game. I think that would be FFXIII. Remember that after "Corridor Simulation XIII" was released, everyone was eyeing Versus XIII as the next true FF game, and it's the reason as to why people hyped that project as hell, and ended up very disappointed with the development hell, rebanding and the end product we got as FFXV. And to the best of my knowledge, FF8's final dungeon is deemed one of the best of the series, as well as its theme, and its villain.

As a side note baymax's side commentary during combat is pure gold. Even "oh no" got me cracking up from the sheer deadpan factor.

In the San Fransokyo gameplay, I noticed a different type of Soldier Heartless; it had two horns on its helmet and was apparently a different color.

Just listened to the audio for the Aqua fight. And..... Ugh, I am sooo dissapointed. I wanted to hold out until I was sure, but now I can say that the everything Aqua vowed in 0.2 officially amounts to nothing for me anymore in terms of the plot. It's still one of my favorite scenes in the series, but I am dissapointed it doesn't have any weight anymore.

You're saying something doesn't have weight based off 2 minutes of sound from a boss fight? While ignoring the fact that Aqua is fighitng against Ansem and his guardian without a keyblade in the game? Doesn't seem like someone who gave up.

 

[sorawild]

FFVIII had its detractors, but was in nowise hated. Less popular than FFVII, sure, but definitely has more fans than FFXII, FFXIII, or FFXV.

Not true anymore, at least when it comes to XII. XII is now one of the most popular games in the franchise after the Zodiac Age remaster, which fixed all the issues with the PS2 version of the game. It why the current raid quests for FFXIV is based around FFXII

The fighting dialouge disagrees with you. *Nothing* said by her implies she didn't give up. She's litterally preaching about how "no help ever came", or "you don't know what true loneliness is." All of the context we have for her behavior makes her motivations blatantly clear, saying otherwise goes against the litteral words of the character, so I'm standing by my statement.

I think it's clear that Aqua really isn't herself, man.
