So I'm seeing translations of the official website, and it says there will be 4 different "play styles." Now whether that means they're all rhythm based, or the rhythm aspect is just 1 of 4, I don't know.

It might be more accurate to think of them as "modes" rather than "play styles."

This is a weird scene in particular. Is it depicting BBS? KH3?

Rage Awakened -The Origin- is the BBS arrangement so I'm guessing that.

The trailer literally ends with Kairi raising her keyblade to attack... if our worst fears come true that would be a sick joke.

It might be she becomes unlocked as a playable character late in the music gameplay. Maybe the final song is a duel between her & new coated bloke.

Not that we didn't know already, but man is Xehanort one messed up guy. I guess we're about to find out how he abducted Kairi while he was an apprentice.

The rhythm sections seem like extra content to me. At the same time, this is Nomura we're talking about. He would find a way to integrate a cereal box ad into the Kingdom Hearts story. Gonna be a short game. Can't see it any other way. Kinda shameful for a Kairi game.

I wouldn't mind if it is a short game. It may be as long as one scenario would have been in a shared game, and can come with its own share of side quests, bosses... the thing is, if it ends up having a scenario after all.

Makes a lot of sense too. They were going through Kairi's memories, so it seems they finally unlocked her memories.

How will they tie unlocking Kairi's memories to finding Sora though? That seems like a separate case all together. Unless Sora is magically tied to Kairi's lost memories how is this going to help her search for him?

I don't get why anyone is surprised that they're pairing the Kairi game with a spinoff. Like, this is the same man that turned relevant a PC browser game, turned its mobile port into something a bit different a repurposed its plot as another season.

And like Sign said, Kairi as we know her cannot carry a standalone KH game. Not as you think you know her, but as the writers know her.

This is honestly no surprise. And if you're being a Betty Downer, good, that's okay. But I'm here excited to finally get some more of the most abandoned iteration of Xehanort: Apprentice 'not

It's a rhythm game with cutscenes, not really a tough concept. The game is the game they showed. There isn't some secret other game hidden in a full rhythm game with 140 tracks and 4 modes.

Idk Nomura is a wild man. I can easily imagine an short action combat game ala 0.2’s length within a rhythm game.

I agree with you, mostly. The thing that makes everything more complicated is the Kairi scenes in UE4. It can be a scenario, it can be just the ending, it can be just cutscenes trough the game...

For me, it is not a surprised and Im all for the spin-off. It is just I hope the Kairi part gets to shine on its own part, even if briefly, and not be like "Kairi gets a cutscene, and then we jump into Sora having fun with Ariel under the rhythm of Under the Sea"
