Kingdom Hearts III Pre-Release Spoiler Discussion Thread

[shuyin_zer0]

We can confirm that the muffled lyrics from Face My Fears are “wont be long.”
There’s that lol

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

I can’t believe the dude nuked the previous name and switched to a new one, which means everybody who tried blocking him have to block a new name now

Speaking of the opening I saw more emphasis on sora and kairi and less on riku

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

I’m officially banning discussion on the opening. It cannot be discussed. Ever. Not even after it releases. (I’m being facetious if it isn’t obvious)

 

[gosoxtim]

Something that caught my eye in the opening was

Spoiler Show

Xehanort's expression when looking at the light in the sky. Both young and old. Is it just me, or was that remorse?[/spoiler ]

Spoiler Show

your not wrong that why I have feeling young xehanort going to help sora somehow

[Leaferian]

Hmm. So the leaker has deleted all of their posts and gone silent. Ah well. I wish I coulda nabbed the clips somehow.

 

[Seighart]

Hehe... i'm a quick hand. He seems to still be posting on YT ...so.. he hasnt given up!

Also is there any confirmation about that certain character being in the game manual?

There doesn't seem to be. And oh? PM me the YouTube name?

EDIT: Nevermind, somehow I got linked to his older account.

Not really liking the opening, overall. But the scene with the various characters turning towards the Doors to the Light and that last group shot were decent. Still, it's too bad Kairi will continue to be defined by her relationship to Sora in this game, like even her potential sisterhood with Namine looks to be getting the shaft over that. Oh, uh, what am I saying? 10/10 arc. Beautiful perfect game.

"Face My Fears" just gets better as it goes along, though.

 

[Leaferian]

Oh, just remembered. I got a pretty good look at the menu by the by. What I can make out was:

-Equipment
-Abilities
-Cuisine
-Items
-Customize?
-Not sure
-MobilePortal?
-Game Help
-Config

Honestly I dont think they could have done any better with the opening

Spoiler Show

It started on a depressing note showing how Xehanort was corrupted and hurt numerous people and ended with a feeling of hope and new beginnings. Hell it even implied Xehanort could have genuine remorse for his actions. More importantly I got a sense of a genuine connection between Sora and Xehanort with the chess pieces at the end

 

[Leaferian]

Oh, oh! And another thing I just noticed. If I saw correctly when the guy was changing equipment...

Spoiler Show

There seems to be resistance for Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Water, Aero, and Dark.

 

[notnow123487]

Yea I’m very interested to see if Square does anything about this guy. It’s not much harder to track. I think they’re getting to the point they’re probably going to accept there’s not much else they can do, probably in a week’s time lots of people will have the game.

 

[Leaferian]

This. There was some amazing stuff he showed off that I didn’t even know I wanted to see.

Donald casting Aero and it becoming a bounce pad for Sora to use is glorious

WOAH HOLD UP I DIDN'T SEE THAT. Which vid was that in? It sounds G L O R I O U S.

They already did, with both DDD and KH2, and definitely 0.2.

Spoiler Show

It's fine in its premise, but in its execution? It's a recap of a recap shot with less imagination and attention to the emotional details than the previous Best Of collections that constitute main title openings. FWIW, I do like the "resurrection" sequence here more than the one in DDD, but everything else just treads the same water without ever coalescing in the same way. I don't like that the history of the series has been revised to imply that nobody but Sora ever did anything meaningful or was ever an agent of change, and this is suddenly all about him and the bad guys squaring off (Sora taking on Ansem, Marluxia and Zebra Xemnas alone? please). DDD did a great job of showing how the fates of all these characters were interlinked, and that each of them were responsible for taking actions that rippled outwards in meaningful ways. Here it seems like they're window dressing to justify Sora's heroism. Pass.

 

[Muke]

I always knew they'd change the menus this time around (and honestly, I didn't like 0.2's). I love them, they're really cool. Wish we could see them in HD. Also:
Am I imagining things or did he show off Abilities in the menu? I know Nomura said there'd be Abilities in the KH2/1 style in the game, but we never really saw any indication so I was worried.

I didn't mind 0.2 cause it seemed just more of the same of the series up till then, but I LOVE the refreshed look. The update is worth it!

Spoiler Show

Yup! The guy in one vid reminds the player to check his abilities and turn on Aerial Recovery, but he's only in it for a second or two and you can't see much. In another video when Sora levels up, he gets an ability that seems to be a damage increaser for Attraction Flow.

Blegh.
If that's really the case count me in the same boat as you.
That's one of the very few things definitely I don't like if played out.

 

[DreamWeilder03]

Hope it's true. Would love to see some actual proof though to be sure. That is the only thing that I want to know the most. Princess and the Frog is my most wanted world for the game and it would make my day to see it be confirmed.
