Kingdom Hearts III Pre-Release Spoiler Discussion Thread

[Xblade13]

Lol, this 4chan leak is fake. Why would Olympus be the only Disney world to get a second visit? Also, they never mention the fate of Dilan/Xaldin.

Yeah, actually there's a more direct proof that what he is is saying is bull.

He said Roxas went to Data Twilight Town after Kingdom Hearts 2, but as late as DDD it was shown he is still chilling in Sora's heart. He can't be in Twilight Town until Sora gets him out. Therefore this whole thing is fake.

>playable roxas again before playable kairi
i dare you nomura
better be fake

Im very confused about coming to the conclusion that leak is fake based on your reasoning. It’s very plausible Olympus is the only Disney world to get a true second visit. And maybe he didn’t mention Xaldin because he isn’t as important to the plot as you may believe.

The leaks very well could be fake but I’d be hesitant to argue against them with emotion as opposed to facts, otherwise you may be setup for disappointment

I’m not supposed to be here, but I’m just popping in to address this real quick. While it seems the most believable of the leaks thanks to the person paying close attention to fan theories, there are several issues. But here’s one I haven’t seen brought up yet:

Spoiler Show

He claims that Aqua sends her Keyblade to Sora after Riku fails to rescue her. However, she wields Mickey’s Keyblade during the portion of the game where Riku engages her. She also doesn’t have Master’s Defender or any Keyblade whatsoever when she encounters Ansem SoD, seemingly before she turns dark. So it seems most likely that she hasn’t had her own Keyblade for some time. It was probably sent to Destiny Islands long before she fights Riku. If he’s referring to Mickey’s Keyblade, idk why her heart would send that to Sora instead of Mickey.

Also, this isn’t really evidence, but my understanding is that Aqua is perfectly capable of finding her way through Castle Oblivion without her Keyblade. She’s the only one who can solve its mysteries to get to the Chamber of Waking. She just can’t change it back to LoD without the Keyblade. Likewise, I don’t think Sora can figure out the Castle Oblivion mystery just by wielding Master’s Defender.

Also, already brought up but the contradiction of Roxas’ heart being in Data Twilight Town and Xion’s within him instead of both being in Sora as shown in DDD is a big red flag.

I’m sure plenty of this will play out, but it seems to be educated guesses. The person just wasn’t quite thorough enough.

Bye again!

Wait a minute a Second Visit to Olympus? Wait a Minute i thought there wasn't going to be Any Second Visits in Worlds for Kingdom Hearts 3

 

[Sakuraba Neku]

Fake or not, considering the amount of stuff the trailers already showed, it's not hard to come up with a believable leak, as long as you know past events, connect the dots and have a little of imagination.

 

[KeybladeLordSora]

Ok, I don't really believe this. There's a bunch of things that kinda send it to the realm of fake.

Spoiler Show

The guy assumes Aqua has the Masters Defender as Darkberry Mom even though the TGS trailer shows that she doesn't even have it by the time Ansem SoD shows up and how she needs to use Mickey's keyblade to fight. Also assumes that Riku fights Aqua even though the E3 trailer shows that he's already been diddlyed up by the time Darkberry shows up to pick up Mickey's keyblade.

Saying Aqua is trapped in Castle Oblivion, presumably back to normal even after Riku's "failed" attempt at saving her. Wrong. Aqua knows her way around the castle and it's incredibly easy to leave. Just walk out the front door and BOOM. She just can't turn it back to LoD.

Calling Radiant Garden "Hollow Bastion", that's it.

The leaker having nothing on the other Riku and not answering any of the questions related to the other Riku. Assuming Namine can create fake people instead of memories, which while a cool ability, is not in her skillset.

Having no idea who MoM is and actually not really remembering Back Cover. The leaker knows the movie exists, but it's clear that they don't remember[or even know]what happens in it simply because they have no idea who the MoM is and assumes the box is only from 0.2.

Roxas's heart being in Data Twilight Town is an obvious assumption based on Ienzo's line of Ansem the Wise including Roxas's full data in the data town's construction. Regardless of how much I want Roxas playable, his heart being in Data Twilight Town is wrong simply because his heart is still inside Sora by DDD.

Nothing on Ansem the Wise.

Convenient how this leak pops up after people already began theorizing that Even recreates Xion while as a vessel, eh?

Twilight Town being the first world after Olympus, then Sora getting his new clothes. We've already seen what is most likely the first time Sora goes to Twilight Town, and he's already in his new clothes by that time. Why do I say that it's the first time back? Hayner does that "Hey Sora" thing Aladdin did, indicating that this is the first time he's seen Sora after a while.

 

[Perkilator]

Don’t worry guys, this is only completely fake!

I agree with what KeybladeLordSora said.

 

[TruestSyn]

I'm excited either way lol I like some of what I read, especially involving LW.

 

[KeybladeLordSora]

I agree with what KeybladeLordSora said.

Thank you good sir. This leak is relying on previous trailers AND the real game leaks to form itself.

Spoiler Show

The chess bit mentioned at the near end of the leak is most likely based on what we saw of the chess scene in the leaks from the guy who stole the game. The tutorial bit mentions Dive to the Heart and a "short what happened in KH segment". The guy making this leak is using what we saw of Dive to the Heart in the video leaks for this bit.

Also the Xion bit kinda irks me. The leaker says "EVERYONE assumes it's the real one brought back" even though no one remembers her or no one knows her at all. also it kinda doesn't matter if it's a new replica just shove Xion's heart into it and boom there you go she's alive happy birthday merry christmas congratulations Vergil's your dad and Dante's your uncle

Why would we go to Olympus twice? The entire story of it is as KH2 Sora, so what purpose would we have going there again?

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

Yeah these leaks are BS.

Spoiler Show

Besides what everybody has pointed out already, what really drives the nail in the coffin is that they seem to misunderstand what is going on with the Data Twilight Town. The reason for it existing is to create a way for Roxas to regain a physical form. Just like the theory about Vexen creating a new Xion puppet. These are methods that are meant to exist so once those hearts are freed from Sora's body, they will find homes in new bodies.

The other thing that is a huge red flag to me is the lack of any mentions of Ventus, Vanitas, and their role in all of this. Like they mention Aqua is trapped in CO but...nothing about Vanitas or Ven.

Also, why would Cloud have one scene? What is he there for? He left Radiant Garden in KH2. Why would he suddenly be back in KH3? It doesn't make sense.

Also the fact that they know the "ending" but don't know the ending after the credits sounds like a convenient way of trying to get out of having to lie about it.

 

[KeybladeLordSora]

Also, I'll say this again, it's REALLY convenient that this "leak" shows up after the Vexen and Xion theories began popping up.

 

[notnow123487]

So did we ever verify that no one got sold the game. Would be kind of crazy if a handful of people are playing through it and we won’t ever know.

I don't think anyone got it; they had to meet the guy in person, and he was apprehended within a day.

 

[Zettaflare]

t.

Well

Spoiler Show

I don't find it hard to believe that Cloud would return to Radiant Garden after disappearing with Sephiroth. For all we know he settled the score with Sephiroth and could have decided to return back to his homeworld. Plus we kind of saw the same thing in KH1 Fnal mix were Cloud was shown in the Hollow Bastion library after clashing with Sephiroth in Olympus

Spoiler Show

But to be the ONLY one to appear in RG? Without the others, there is little context for him to even be there. The others had a much more significant role in Sora’s journey before, so why make Cloud be the sole FF appearance? What reason does he have to appear?

 

[KeybladeLordSora]

Another thing that bugs me about the obviously fake leak.

Spoiler Show

Why doesn't it talk about what happened to Riku, Kairi, Lea, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy after they get taken by the Heartless? They're not mentioned at all! It doesn't even talk about what happens to Aqua after CO/LoD. Hell, it doesn't even talk about how she's back to normal aside from "Riku tries this and it fails".

Oh wait. It's freaking fake and like the other leak only the end of the game and the Keyblade Graveyard are given more thought.

Also I love how they call the Keyblade Graveyard the fake climax as if people don't know that it's the halfway point and handwaves Sora getting to the Chamber of Waking with "the world transforms itself"

Spoiler Show

a possible nod to the FF7 remake?

that said this leak is probably fake so it really doesn't matter, lol.

 

[KeybladeLordSora]

Oh, here's another thing.

If this were real, which it obviously ain't, it would've talked about Maleficent.

Also, I really hate how the "leaker" never explained HOW they know any of this at all. They just spout main story stuff, ignoring everything else and even forgetting some things.

This leak particularly doesn't talk about:

Maleficent, like I already said.

What Ansem the Wise is doing

What the deal is with the "new seven hearts"

HOW Aqua turns back to normal.

What happens to the other heroes after everything goes downhill

What's going on with Isa.

If Van shows off his face

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE DISNEY WORLDS

WHO THE OTHER RIKU IS

HOW RIKU GETS HIS NEW KEYBLADE

HOW MICKEY GETS HIS NEW KEYBLADE

They also forget to actually explain what happens in the events of their own leak!

Why the hell does Roxas go BACK to Data Twilight Town when he already decided to fight at the Graveyard?

The leaker says that Eraqus puts the Roxas piece on the board, but doesn't say crap about what he does with the Sora piece.

HOW is Namine able to use her abilities when she's still in Kairi's heart? HOW IS SHE ABLE TO MAKE FAKE PEOPLE WHEN, ONCE AGAIN, SHE'S STILL IN KAIRI'S HEART?

How does EVERYONE know Xion? The leaker said everyone assumes this "Fake Xion" is the real one brought back, thus saying that literally everyone knows who she is and remembers her.

If Ansem the Wise's plan was for Roxas to return to Sora willingly, why the hell did he pretty much do everything in a way that makes it seem more like he's OBVIOUSLY forcing Rox to return to our spiky happy Mickey Mouse Club anime boi?

Why the data AtW gave to Riku was apparently Roxas's location.

Why Aqua doesn't do a damn thing after CO/LoD

This whole entire leak is once again, relying on trailers and the junk from when the game was stolen to form itself, yet like the last one, it neglects to talk about anything in actual true detail aside from specific things like Riku's gameplay[exclusive to this leak because this one exists after the Final Battle trailer] , the Graveyard, and the final world.

Can someone refresh me on the FFXV leak fiasco and how it compares to this one??

Had to make an account to reply to one of your points.

Namine is actually actively doing things at this point in time, as shown in one of the concert exclusive scenes which
is canon and happens slightly before 0.2. In that scene she talks to Terra (Lingering Will) and warns him that Aqua will need his
guidance soon. Which then takes place in the 0.2 scene where Aqua and Terra talk.

obviously the leaker knows of the orchestra scene and used it in his leak. It’s all fake and inconsistent but I just had to point out
that Naminé is actually doing things in the background.
