Only Japan I assume.
TBD I suppose! SENA has been silent this morning while JP side has erupted with news.
I really hope we get it about the same time. I wish I could understand what he was saying, particularly seeing the end of the X Keyblade War unexpectedly!

Can't really hear what he's saying at the end of the trailer, but this is the first part:

Xehanort (waking up on the beach): That dream again...
A link between Xehanort and Player? So much to think about today
I'm disappointed they didn't have Urd or Vor standing over Xehanort as he awoke. Boooo! You broke the tradition.
I can't play this game so I'm helpless with this one. But I suppose the thing I'm most curious about is what is it setting up for the future of Kingdom Hearts. Nomura does not make KH games for nothing, there is always a connection so I wonder what this is all leading too.

Maybe this is what happened between Ver and Sora: they linked hearts in order to fix Ventus'. Maybe Player's heart linked with Xehanort's in order to survive.
I BSed the last two lines. Couldn't hear exactly what he was saying in the first bit so it won't be super accurate, but this is basically what he's getting at.
"I don't know what changes each day will bring. But I'm taking it into my own hands."
I hope it’s fun. I‘ve always really loved this art style but I couldn’t get into chi. I’m honestly pretty excited to try this out though.

I was thinking if Xehanort is a descendant of Player XD

Maybe. He's certainly a Player in MoM's scheme /badumtss
Well that WOULD answer literally everything about Xehanort's past/future knowledge in a single move....
"You've been here many times again and again like deja vu"
"You saw their experiences in real time"
"Xehanort is seeking out ancient keyblade wielders"
"Xehanort knows Marluxia, Larxene, Demyx, and Luxord are ancient wielders"
"It was destiny I met Ventus"
Xehanort saw the events of X/UX, the events the player experienced, through his dreams somehow.

Could Dark Chirithy be involved somehow if Xehanort sees it as a dream? I can't wait to see the start of this and the final chapter of UX
....Oh my god, oh. my. god. Nomura how didn't I see you hinting at this before. I don't know if Dark Chirithy is involved but I just realized that the Player being connected to Xehanort has been something Nomura has been hinting at all along. Something that always was strange to me was the player had a dream of what presumably was the keyblade war in KH3, I wrote it off as a tease at the time and nothing deeper. Now I'm realizing Player was experiencing what Xehanort was, the player saw Xehanort's experiences/memories in their dreams. THAT is how the player got a glimpse of KH3's war.
Xehanort and the Player are connected somehow by their dreams and I can't in any shape or form imagine this isn't related to how Yozora and Sora are also seemingly connected by their dreams to. Chirithy is a potential option for Xehanort and Player but since we have another case of two unrelated people separated by time and space connecting in their dreams I imagine there is something more at work here.
I'm really hyped for this!

It's the scene Hirokey is referring to. Player dreams of Xehanort's life, Xehanort dreams of the Player's. These two share a connection.
Adding on, I'm thinking about how the Chirithy link might work. Ephemer and Skuld told it to keep showing PLAYER the dreams of the war (come to think of it, have they said why they're doing that?), so that may have accidentally connected him to Xehanort, who is obsessed with the war.

Actually they said the opposite, for Chirithy to overwrite Player's memories of the war so they won't have to suffer from the painful memories. At one point, it seemed as though they had started to leak out, but we haven't revisited that thread since.

Oh.
Wait, was it Ava? I swear I remember someone saying that about their dreams.

There was a whole thing of Chirithy showing Player certain dreams and Ephemer communicating with them through cryptic ones, maybe that's what you're remembering?

That might be it. My mind must've combined the two events.
So Xehanort and the Player are connected by some unknown means. I guess that means the Player could theoretically have ended up in the future as Xehanort has memories of them.
I wonder if those memories from the Player are a catalyst to what Xehanort would eventually become. I want answers now.
Could the player be Xehanort's ancestor? I know they look nothing alike but still

Maybe exposure to the book of prophecies and having such involved interaction in the worlds of the future affected something? Like they're sub-consciously activating the book to project their dreams/memories to the other party.

Yo. Xehanort is player. No name. He is all of us. We are Xehanort ;)
Maybe exposure to the book of prophecies and having such involved interaction in the worlds of the future affected something? Like they're sub-consciously activating the book to project their dreams/memories to the other party.
The book would be a good conduit, but Brain and Ephemera are more associated with it. But maybe the connection is because of the Keyblade Graveyard/Keyblade War? Or, it could be an influence from the Master of Masters. Whatever it is, these memories are going to be important. Wonder if they'll help with Xehanort's training in some way?

Assuming Xehanort waking up in Destiny Islands means anything, perhaps the connection was established before he became a wielder and perhaps this is the catalyst that pushed Xehanort out of the boundaries of his home.
So eager for this game to be released to get the back story on Xehanort (or whoever he was before) and his journey to darkness. My brain is bursting with too much information. Original characters from KH1 (being connected to classical elements (earth, water, air, etc.), characters from X (being connected to 7 deadly sins), and now norse mythology? What is Nomura smoking these days? I'm trying to make some connections, but can't. However, one thing that is kind of consistent is 2 of the 3 norns being present. Skuld and now the new character Urd. Verdandi needs to show up in another game somewhere in the franchise. Looking into more knowledge on Norns on Wikipedia, and some parts are interesting. Goes on to say under Legendary Sagas that they show up at the birth of a hero to shape his/her destiny. If there's a connection between player and xehanort, you have to wonder if the norns are showing up to watch the story of player/xehanort unfold? What we were playing was the Dark Seeker Saga which is all about Xehanort. Skuld being there for the (what shall be) phase, and now Urd being there for the (which became or happened) phase. Maybe we won't get a full story in Dark Road, and another game will be developed with a slightly older Xehanort turning even more dark, enter Verdandi and the (what is coming into being) phase.
What is Nomura smoking these days?

Dark Road is going to be interesting. I guess I‘m not the first or last person to say I wish this was a console game, but anyways. The new characters are nice, I really like their designs, they‘re just.. different! :)
The gameplay didn‘t seem too deep, but meh, I‘m only going to play DR for the story anyways. Also it‘s cool Xehanort is getting his prequel game as a (presumed) send-off from this series
OK guys, I cracked the code. Here is how everything connects:
What is Xehanort the anagram of? No Heart X. I bet that 'X' is not a usual X, but our favourite greek letter, chi. No Heart Chi. Which meaaaans, he is the Nobody of Player from X (chi). Let's step back a little. We know that Player is special (after all, he is the only surviving non-Dandelion, and his mom lets him have two Chirities), and probably the MoM knows this too. What I think will happen at the end of Union Xross is this:
- The leaders relise their wordline is doomed
- Some of them jumps to the future using those pods
- MoM steps in, and takes Player's heart into another worldline to save him from a doomed worldline and keep him safe for later use
- At that moment, a Nobody is formed of the remaining body and soul
- Darkness saves that Nobody, influences it (with darkness and all, maybe even putting a part of itself into him) and (I'm not sure how) sends him into the future (small theory within a theory here: Darkness sends Player's Nobody, either body and all, or just burgeoning new heart, to the first ever point he exists in the future. That point is when Ansem went back in time to talk with Young Xehanort. This way, two connected but separate timeloops would cross in that moment, both only capable of existing because the other exists. I think that would be very Nomura. Only problem is, that means Xehanort had to be amnesiac and his first ever memory is meeting with Ansem.)
Darkness did all of that to screw with MoM's plans, but he ended up playing into his hands. Xehanort was fine for MoM, so in the end he didn't need to rely on Player's heart, which was escorted to a different timeleine with, and looked after by, who we now know as Luxord. Yes, I'm saying Luxord works for MoM, that's why Luxu doesn't get him, and yes, Player's heart is Yozora. We know that the body we see is not his own (of course, because his real body is something we, the players made up), and that also confirms Nameless Star's identity: she really is Strelitzia, who knows Yozora is player.
Little side note here: We might see Xehanort's classmates (a few of the must be connected to UX Leaders, Foretellers, or Darkness) in later games. Don't forget that Scala IS DaybreakTown, and the time machine is there. There could be replacement pods, so any character appearing there can reappear in the future.
Whew, there, I channelled my inner Nomura. Inconsistency included.
Xehanort being the Nobody of some other character would be too degrading to his character. Perhaps the anagram "Another X" could be that he has the heart of another. And since we're using chi, perhaps he has the heart from someone form the X era, who could be player.
Or not have the heart, but rather, connected.

Well done.

I’m getting pretty excited for Dark Road as we get closer to launch.
I have a bit a confusion about what Dark Road is though.
This comes from me not knowing whether or not this is a complete game or an updating service type of game. I know it launches through Union X and it will have in app purchases. Based on that I would assume this game will receive story updates over time like X and most other apps. Some people are telling me though that Dark Road will have a complete story when it releases.
Perhaps I’m just not looking in the right places for news, but I’m not actually finding a lot of information about the game. Maybe someone can help me clear up my confusion here?

One more thing. Since Xehanort IS X's Player character in a way, it makes sense that Dark Road is a part of UX (the logo says Union X Dark Road): since you control Xehanort in Dark Road, you are technically still controlling Player from UX. Makes sense that now that UX's main story ends, you continue to control Player in the next chapter of his life.
Mind blowing, isn't it?

I like your way of thinking generally but one thing I doubt is that Xehanort was not part of MoM's plan. I think Xehanort was the key part of the plan. Look at Luxu's secret reports: they talk of waiting for the 'Chosen One', a Keyblade Master dedicated to Darkness 'finally' arising to renact the Keyblade War. So Xehanort is the really special person, not Sora. It seems that Keyblade Wielders of Light are relatively common but Wielders who can control Darkness without being consumed by it are much rarer. Yeah so for me, the coming of Xehanort was always part of the MoM's plan (Darkness hidden inside Ven's heart of light possibly less so...).
I also struggle with Luxord working for the MoM. He is playful and devious but it would be odd if the MoM sent Luxord to undermine and annoy Luxu. But also Luxord doesn't know who Xigbar really is and seems to be investigating things himself. It's maybe possible the MoM could be playing them against each other for some reason but I would wager that Luxord represents another party, perhaps opposed to the MoM (the white goat against the black goat).
I believe that Xehanort and Player X (that's what I"m going to call the protagonist/player of Kingdom Hearts X) are connected but not the same. Even if you gave Player X ash-blonde hair, he still looks nothing like Young Xehanort (I'll provide a picture for proof) or Yozora. Also YX is way more of a scholar than Player X (who comes across as playful and optimistic). Nobodies look almost just like their somebodies (though Roxas looks more like Ventus than Sora).
There's definitely some relationship between the 2.
Was the player given a name in the novel?

Nope, Kanemaki did her best to keep the Player's identity hidden. No name, no gender, nothing (although Yen Press did slip up a few times in the official localization).

Yeah, my basic idea is the "No Heart X is the nobody of Player X, regrowing a dark heart due to some influence and Yozora is the heart in another body", the other stuff I'm not so sure about. It can only work if the nobody is influenced by another heart (that way Xehanort can look different from Player), and I went for Darkness, due to Xehanorts dark tendencies, but it really seems more likely that he is a part of MoM's plans.
As for Luxord (and Demyx) I have no idea. It is weird that Luxu doesn't know him. He could simply come from an other wordline, but then the part about ancient keyblade legacy in 3 wouldn't make sense.
Also, another meta consideration: Square let's Nomura have a console rhythm game. After this, I won't believe it was Square who forced the Xehanort game on mobile, it had to be Nomura's decision. Why do that inside UX? Because you are controlling the same character, in a way, and Player belongs on the mobile.
So SENA is continuing to stay silent for some bizarre reason but Global has an app update scheduled on the 21st/22nd, which seems to suggest the launch will continue as scheduled despite the leaks that were 100% their own fault

OH MY GOD how did I forget!!! Lol when it launched early and everybody was like “don’t share it because SE will be mad” even though they uploaded it and left unlisted, and everybody knew anyways and when it finally released we all pretended like it released at that moment.
Man, SE should be grateful we all were being polite and nice about that whole ordeal lol
SENA’s response to shooting themselves in the foot is to shoot themselves in the other foot.
Yeah it’s so funny. We have no stakes in this because we are just the consumers with nothing to gain so it’s fine if SE wants to sabotage SE lol

I thought the novel implied the Player was a boy? Or is this the Yen Press slip up you mentioned? If so it sure fooled me because I thought it was a boy after reading the novel.

Yep, that's it. It didn't seem intentional to me after Chirithy spends the entire novel avoiding any gender-specific pronouns and the like, and then suddenly a random character drops a "he" or "boy."

Good to know, I thought that was strange. Now I can return to Strelitizia being bi.
This game is basically Kh Com+final fantasy, this turn-based gameplay style is actually more fun and suitable in this art style.

It gets me really annoyed that official translations, which we pay for, contain mistakes like this. It makes a big difference and if it weren't for this site I wouldn't even know that the gendering of Player was a mistake. And occasionally I will suddenly learn about a problem with a translation in the main games as well, and have to then look at a bit of dialogue in a different way. I kinda wish we could have a Goldpanner version of everything lol.

Eh, let me play Devil's Advocate here for a second. English is a very sexed-language. When the Normans took over England and mixed French, Latin, and Greek into a mostly Germanic language we lost most of our non-sex specific pronouns which in the long run led to a lack of them in the modern day. The fact that we don't have as many as Japanese is why when translating from Japanese to English for a person of uncertain gender we often have phrases such as "That Person", "Them" "That Child" or "That Guy" in places where it sounds clunky and unnatural in English but would sound totally fine in Japanese.
When writing or translating, a large amount of the time you are working off of the best constructed versions of the translation and what sounds the most natural in a given language is often the version that makes it through which can allow for small mistakes like this to get passed through even if not technically the intention of the author. These are just a small amount of problems that are easy to trip up on in translation. I understand that you might expect more for a product you paid for, but the translation quality isn't always going to be consistent (especially because more often than not more than one translator works on it) and language foibles aren't going away soon which can make the job harder.
I typed all this when I could have said it all in a much smaller post. Being VP is suffering.

Thanks for the informative reply. I can understand that it's difficult to keep the intended meaning while producing natural-looking English, which I guess is the most important thing for a piece of entertainment. And I wouldn't blame the individual translators as I'm sure they don't receive enough time and money to do a thorough job.
It's tomorrow!

Yes, Japan maintenance ends 3.5 hours before Global does. Granted, it will be VERY late so if you're in the US, I wouldn't suggest staying up for it.
But it's already 8 AM in Japan. Does that mean the game comes out mid-day? I'm in EDT timezone.
I'm actually excited for this. I'm going to do my best and try to keep up with it. Hope this games story is a bit better paced than UX. But I'm not holding my breath.
Huh? Oh yeah, today's the 21st.
But it's already 8 AM in Japan. Does that mean the game comes out mid-day? I'm in EDT timezone.
JP maintenance will be finished at 15:00 JST. That's 2:00am EDT.

Will YOU be staying up for the KHI update? If so, here's some coffee and love and appreciation. ☕
It'll be comfortable morning in my time zone. I can't wait!

I'll be up as long as I can! Not sure how much story content will be available at launch, so we'll see how it goes :D
And thank you! Glad to be able to experience the launch with you guys <3

I just wanna clear up that your post was made at 4:11 am JST, not at 8am JST. You're thinking it's four hours further ahead than it actually is :)

It's all good! Just didn't want you in a couple of hours to be thinking the DR maintenance should be done when it isn't :)
Just wondering, do you want us to spoiler tag our story discussion for Dark Road?

Eh, let me play Devil's Advocate here for a second. English is a very sexed-language. When the Normans took over England and mixed French, Latin, and Greek into a mostly Germanic language we lost most of our non-sex specific pronouns which in the long run led to a lack of them in the modern day. The fact that we don't have as many as Japanese is why when translating from Japanese to English for a person of uncertain gender we often have phrases such as "That Person", "Them" "That Child" or "That Guy" in places where it sounds clunky and unnatural in English but would sound totally fine in Japanese.
When writing or translating, a large amount of the time you are working off of the best constructed versions of the translation and what sounds the most natural in a given language is often the version that makes it through which can allow for small mistakes like this to get passed through even if not technically the intention of the author. These are just a small amount of problems that are easy to trip up on in translation. I understand that you might expect more for a product you paid for, but the translation quality isn't always going to be consistent (especially because more often than not more than one translator works on it) and language foibles aren't going away soon which can make the job harder.

They, them, theirs. All proper, all used for centuries for a singular unspecified person. I do agree that translating is difficult and some things are bound to slip through the cracks, regardless it makes for a jarring experience for some.
Best way to count JP time is add 1 hour and switch the AM/PM. (unless it's 11:00)
*Provided you're in EST
Looks like Global Maintenance ended when it began xD
Omg, does that mean the game is up and runnningggg?!

Fitting that they time travel for the update that adds Xehanort.

No, it's a typo lol, very common occurrence for SENA. The maintenance only just started at 8:30.

So will the whole campaign be acailable from the start or will DR also have monthly/weekly updates?

Gotcha thanks!
Hmmm... So the plot looks interesting in finding the lost keyblade wielders... But wow at this gameplay, this is worse than UX, it literally plays itself and is a big grind...
Will there be a general discussion thread for the game?
I'm starting to upload JP story updates (unsubbed) here.

Well, i actually like the gameplay(without using the auto function of course). I don't really like to use the auto function, and part of the reason is because the IA is too stupid. If you see that Xehanort has low health and you have a potion in your deck, instead of using the potion to attack use it to heal god damn it.
But anyways i guess the auto function is usefull to misions like the one i'm doing now that you have to defeat 50 heartless in agrabah.

Yeah from what I see, those missions you should use auito for sure, there are others where you only need to fight a handfull of heartless and on those I did not go auto, but it worked also
My hand hurts from flicking cards so i’ve had to go into auto mode. I had 130 killed in a row before I got kicked out for reset 12 minutes ago :(

I don’t have a potion but I have a cure card and my auto prioritises that. Weird that’s not happening for you and your potion.

It seems to be only with potions, now that i have a Minnie healer it prioritises her(as long as there aren't 3 cards from a different colours).

How frustrating! I'm glad you got Minnie now though. Prepare to last for a LONG time in the world mission thing.

After I got Minnie it became harder to die than to survive
Yeah, now i have to 100 heartless in Agrabah and i'm sure that after this i will have to defeat 100 heartless in wonder land, does this game hates us or what? xD
I don't want to think what this game will make us do later, looking at the missions...
Is that Agrabah? DR started from Agrabah, in the same month as Twisted Wonderland finished Scarabia chapter? is this truly coincidence, Nomura?

Is anyone else having the issue they can't open the app on their phone?
I've had this issue off and on with the Ux App was hoping that after this update it'd stop doing that.

This is such a bigger grind than UX...it's crazy honestly. I mean at least everything can be done automatically, but this is not what I was expecting at all.

By any chance, are you on Android? Every time they release a new version, it takes some time until the app is updated for compatibility, so they'll usually release a notice advising players not to upgrade.

Wow...this is not what I was anticipating. I am glad that I can just set it to auto and just do my work while it grinds through enemies but wow.
What happened to that launch campaign we were supposed to have where we could integrate our medal collection to DR???
I'm still not over the cutscene that plays prior to main mission 20 ;~;

There is such a difficulty spike after mission 16... I'm left here grinding hoping to get more exp to lvl up xehanort, but the exp ceiling keeps getting exponentially higher and higher with no way for me to get exp faster unless I use those keys in the event.
This is honestly insanely disappointing, I was expecting a flick rush type game and a less grindy experience than union cross but this is just the opposite of that? The grind needed is unbearable except for auto. How do you make your 2nd mobile game actively worse than that first, and by a long way....
I like the story here leagues more than UX, but it is grindy as HELL
Nomura heard us complaining about how nobody dies and killed off 13 new characters all at once LMAO
It's a shame some of this backstory couldn't be revealed throughout the series prior to KH3. The ending of KH3 with Xehanort and Eraqus already feels more earned.
Yeah i finally defeated the flame core and
[SPOILER="Heavy spoilers though i don't say it directly"]
Holy shit Nomura. Well i guess Urd is not Kairi's grandma xD
I loved Urd('s design)...
[/SPOILER]
oh my god I think I was right when I made my theory about Xehanort a million moons ago...
sorry not sorry laughing @ everyone who chose to die on the hill of these kids being a current character's relative
So anyone got past mission 20? When does it stop?
Is it just me, or is YX's Armor No Heart? Also Aaaaah and I complain about series in which the author can't kill off characters for any reason, but I didn't expect this.

Oh okay... so it literally stays on mission 20 and gives you, I would assume, objectives to keep you occupied. But... do you get something from completing that??

No, but let's see what happens once i finish this mission/objective.
You just keep getting BP and new mission 20 objectives.

Yes, it's the No Heart armor. We've known about this since it appeared in BBSFM. Nomura reiterated it in the KH3 Ultimania:
| —What was the true identity of No Heart, who appeared in KH BbS FM? Nomura: That was also Master Xehanort. That was the armour he used to wear a long time ago, and in this game he was wearing his current armour. |
[USER=89972]@Sign[/USER] well huh, I didn't know he appeared in BBS nor that quote. That's interesting
[USER=89972]@Sign[/USER] well huh, I didn't know he appeared in BBS nor that quote. That's interesting
No Heart first debuted in a Mirage Arena battle in BBSFM, as did the Armor of the Master :D
You just keep getting BP and new mission 20 objectives.
I’ve hit the end, I did 3 ‘500 enemies’ missions after mission 20 and it now just says ‘coming soon’. Nothing else comes up/you don’t get any special rewards
Oh wow
[SPOILER=Dark Road]Did they just kill off Xehanort and Eraqus' group of friends after a four year timeskip??? That's dark.[/SPOILER]

The thing is:

[SPOILER] I think we definitely go back for multiple episodes with the cast and interact with them/meet Baldur/see how they all die. They ended the first episode like that to try and hook people to the story and shock everyone so you want to find out what happened to them. And then maybe in a year it’ll tell us the story after the time jump[/SPOILER]
Obviously the translator never played the first KH, "surrounded by ocean" should be "surrounded by water" lol, first world problems ha ha (first cutscene)
[SPOILER]Sorry but being a Star Wars fan has taught me that no one stays dead and this being Kingdom Hearts makes me iffy. This is Nomura after all, 50 chapters in one those deceased people will reappear as a plot twist.[/SPOILER]

[spoiler]I think at least one of the graves could be a red herring. There are four marked graves and Xehanort has five classmates besides Eraqus. One of the graves could be Baldr while one of the others lives.[spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]
No Heart first debuted in a Mirage Arena battle in BBSFM, as did the Armor of the Master :D
I thought he debuted in KH2 as the boss in the giant dragon Nobody in the World That Never Was though? Am I getting my wires crossed?

That's just Xemnas wearing similar looking armor. No Heart specifically originated from BBSFM.

[spoiler]I agree with this. These mobile games love their red herrings; Nomura's gotten us multiple times with them in UX (Lauriam being the murderer, Brain being the imposter). Whoever those graves belong to, the answer may not be as straightforward as just the other four students in the keyart.[/spoiler]
Just played 3 hrs of this...there's a reason why Flick Rush was a minigame with little focus inside DDD. Mobileshit gacha with insane power creep is NOT the direction KH needs to go.
Pros:
↓ seeing Xenehort in a positive light, the way he interects with cfellow students is not a snarky way, but more of a pensive thoughtful way
•seeing eraqus in a mu h different personality compared to his elder self, it is a wonderful way to see that the mans is goofy in the past but way extra serious in BBS
Cons:
♪ either the ENG translation is terrible, or we have more god awful writing, because SCALA AD CAELUM now is called a world separate from others, instead of the nexus from which all worlds spring. disgusting, we can't trust any of the so called lore in KH because every single game that comes after contradicts the previous one. lol
 == - I do not like the pacing, because deaths don't meana ynthing and you mindlessly grind out battles that have basically zero story relevance. even now
¶ we have decided once again that we are getting drip feed 5 minute text scenes for "story", we got no actual character introductions in this game intro, just huge yikes all around
Uh...Scala was always it's own world so what is exactly the issue here? The nexus line was just referring to the fact it's the current form of Daybreak Town and Daybreak Town is the world from which all the worlds come from. Daybreak Town is where the war that destroyed the one world and split it into the many worlds comes from as well as the people who rebuilt the lost world. Sounds to me like you took a poetic description way out of context.
[SPOILER=Spoilers]you gotta wonder if Xehanort would have grown up to be a different person if his friends still lived. Probably not but it is something to think about[/SPOILER]
I love that Xehanort is the only one with Belts on his armor since it's an old design.
[spoiler]Anyone think the Emblem Heartless could be in this time due to Ansem SoD time traveling? It’s the only thing that makes sense to me at the moment unless they’re going to retcon him being behind their creation.[spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]
I'm sad we got only one episode.. it felt super short with most of it being just grinding.
also barely any character interactions outside of xehanort and eraqus is just meh.

Yeah maybe they should have waited for UX's ending to release this... maybe make a couple more missions, but this felt like very little ammount of content.
Can the translator please refresh themselves with the English script from past games? :(
It sucks seeing iconic lines mistranslated because they didn't catch the reference or intent.

Xehanort told Eraqus that the fact that Emblem Heartless are from the future is a clue, perhaps hinting that someone has the Book of Prophecies and is releasing Emblem Heartless around. Something like Vanitas releasing the Unversed in all worlds in BBS.[/SPOILERs
by the way, I prefer DR's gameplay to Ux's :v]
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]So they really are going to continue this trend of inteoducing awesome characters and then doing nothing with them, huh? Did they have to kill them off? I don‘t know, maybe this was just a preview and chapter 2 doesn‘t start „4 years later“ but if it does, damn[/SPOILER]

There's the possibility that, perhaps, they died during those four years. It doesn't make sense to introduce them as party members and later kill them off. Even make art about them. Even though Strelitzia was killed off, she's still relevant and brought back.
And honestly, it makes sense for them to have been killed off, seeing as how the current cast is already too bloated.
Jesus Christ, I wish these scenea were rendered in UE4 and voiced. I miss hearing Ben's snark
Even though Strelitzia was killed off, she's still relevant and brought back.
Lol. Introduced, oh I want to have babbys with Player-kun, killed. She aint relevant. She's the Kairi of UX

No, I know, but if that‘s what they were going to do why bother at all? Like obviously this would‘ve happened — but I didn‘t think it‘d happen this early

I'm sure they have a narrative reason, we'll see.
i think the entire game will show us what happened during those four years instead of skipping them.

[spoiler]This is a fairly common storytelling technique. You reveal the “ending” early on, making the audience think it means one thing. Then you go back to fill in what happened in between and the audience realizes the ending may not have been exactly what they thought. We’ve already seen this before in KH with BBS. Personally, I think it’s a good set up for the game’s central mystery since we already could assume something tragic happened to these characters. Now we get to focus on the how.[/spoiler]
Enough to level up once

Damn how long did that take?? 1/4 to the Darkside card.
8 or so hours. I left it playing while I slept and then waited out the last 20-30 minutes to get to 5,000.
I think you should get more BP by playing manually. I think this would make the game more appealing for those who want a more hands on experience but don’t want to sit there flicking endlessly. Keep the auto grind about how it is now and make manual leveling faster. I think it would be a fair trade off.

This was done on one-star. Two-stars should net more BP and thus make it faster to level up, but I'm not strong enough to last (despite being level 14 or 15, idk the game tells me I'm two different levels).

Yeah I’m level 16 and couldn’t last on level 2, my plan is to get jewels from Union Cross and use keys to level up one or two more times and then hopefully that should be enough for the two star battles.
If you wanna leave it on over night, I suggest getting Screen Proximity so you can black out the screen and prevent burn in. Just put something over the top of the phone and the screen will go blank but still play the game.
Anyone else having a level up glitch? I just levelled up to level 16 but the missions page says I went up to level 15.

16 is your current level, but 15 is the number of levels you’ve gained since starting at Level 1. So you need to get to Level 21 to unlock that reward.

Agreed. One, getting rewards at level 16, 21, and so on instead of on multiples of five is weird. Two, they could have just put “Reach Level X.” But I guess they probably don’t want to hire more devs that it would take to change the text in future updates. ?
Has anyone got past level 16 or 17 yet? I’ve used all my daily keys and have completed every mission and probably have a few hours of grinding still to do just to get to level 17

Yeah, and like this wouldn't be a thing in the console games.
Like, if Sora got to level 15 and there's a tournament that opens when you level up 15 times, it'd be bad to rock up and Phil to be like "Sorry kid, you're only at level 14."

Update, got to Level 17, I last till about 21 enemies in Agrabah 2 star. Have 32/37 of the cards too. Need 100,000 BP. God this is broken
Update 2: the daily keys just reset thank god, just got to level 18 in 5 minutes ? My first attempt at Agrabah 2 star got to....20 enemies Hahahaha. Ok I’m out
I kind of feel bad for Nomura, because presumably, he's only the story director here, but the limitations of the game are too harsh for many.
Nomura needs to get some actual story writers on board then. So much that could be done with KH but the games storys, lores, and even moment to moment beats do not get webbed together appropeiately. Bad timelines, retroactive storytelling, constant sequel baiting, and so on.
[USER=256811]@Cumguardian69[/USER]
Hah. I said that he's the story director, -which may have been my fault as he writes the story and that's what I meant- but I intended to say that the game's mechanics may drive away people from the story that he wanted to write. Also I don't remember but the mobile games are handled by a different team except for the story IIRC.
I had a bug today where I had Auto play on and Xehanort stopped playing cards while still taking hits from Heartless. Had to turn the auto off and back on again. Not a huge deal, but I’m glad I hadn’t left it for hours thinking it would be auto grinding. Lol
JP version added new missions for defeating Heartless at 2-star level, up to 500 for Wonderland and 400 for Agrabah. Mission rewards 1 key for every 100 defeated.

I had a similar issue. Also Heartless stopped spawning lol. I was so scared my game was going to break. I think we might be overloading the servers by staying repeatedly connected to the game for hours on end.

Do you know the equivalent link of DR's board? --> https://api-s.sp.kingdomhearts.com/information/list

They are now on the english version also.
After two days my game is barely ended (free-to-play user).
Story is done.
I'm level 17, the new 2-star missions are almost impossible in Wonderland (my record is 5 kills in a row) as for intermediate, advanced or winning streak events. Only thing I can do is collect kills for the "monthly" missions (it should be named weekly missions 2.0) burning my tablet ongoing all day long.
I have 18 cards in my deck, pulled twice and I feel like it's better wait and save jewels.
The gap between 1-star and 2-star world battles is just out of reach.
There's gonna be a new event at the end of the month: defeat watermelon Heartless to get a Mickey card.

Oh boy, that watermelon is going to be ridiculously difficult to defeat I bet.
