Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and More

Details

Square Enix have lifted the silence on Kingdom Hearts 3 and delivered an epic trailer that gives fans a good look at Mount Olympus.

The trailer also showcased new shotlocks and limit commands, deepening the battle system that was first introduced in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue earlier this year. 

We also got a look at some of the story from the game, as it seems Maleficent and Pete have business with Hades in Olympus. We also saw some more gameplay against the Rock Titan battle, and Sora talking with Xemnas outside of Twilight Town's mansion.

Square Enix released a press release following the reveal of the trailer:

Earlier at the KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra –World Tour– concert in Los Angeles, SQUARE ENIX® and Disney Interactive dazzled fans with a new KINGDOM HEARTS III gameplay trailer featuring never before seen footage based on Disney’s animated hit, “Hercules,” which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
 
In this action-packed trailer, Sora, Donald Duck and Goofy help Hercules battle various forms of Heartless on Mount Olympus through gorgeous visuals and gameplay. Fans will see Sora in a new form, which allows him to perform special powerful solo and joint attacks on his enemies. A new glimpse into the game’s storyline reveals a reunion with Disney villains Hades, Maleficent and Pete as they discuss the location of a mysterious item while Sora is faced with a dilemma in an effort to bring back an old friend.

Another trailer that will debut a brand new world will be at D23 Expo on July 15th.

More information is expected to flow out of E3 soon so remember to follow Kingdom Hearts Insider on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr for the latest updates on Kingdom Hearts Union χ [Cross], Kingdom Hearts 3 and all things Kingdom Hearts!

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

Of course this would be the sort of thing that brings me back to the boards. :P

Some quick thoughts/questions:
[LIST]
[*]Is that quote at the beginning of the trailer Sora's opening quote for this game? And does it seem to anybody else that it ties into KH1's Opening Quote somehow with the talk of dreams?
[*]Why is Sora "diving" into Olympus?
[*]The Kingdom Key is back!!!! I knew the starlight keyblade wasn't replacing it for good!
[*]You can really tell that the "Kingdom Shader" They've been talking about is in effect during the scene between Hades, Pete, & Maleficent, they look like they came straight out of a Disney movie. The Scene with Xemnas though seems to use the default lighting shader that comes with Unreal Engine, so maybe it's still in development. I sure hope it doesn't stay like that, otherwise it's going to look like you're average fangame project.
[*]They better be showing something new off at E3, otherwise they're really going to miss the window of promotion for this game...
[*]Do we have rough translations yet?
[/LIST]

All in all, it looks super cool! I love how Mt. Olympus is turning out! It's super gorgeous!

Its so hard to tell what Party Members are doing lol, but yeah I was super hyped about Herc being a full party member. That and the way Hades looked made me most excited tbh ha.

Looked like KH2 outfit is a drive form now or something? Like Limit Form I'm guessing. I need to rewatch it...and I want translations.

I FREAKING LOVED THAT TRAILER! The gameplay looks SO smooth and fast paced, and the character models for the Disney characters looks fantastic! Even if it technically isn't an E3 trailer, but I can't see anything else at the expo topping this for me. The fact that we are getting even more footage and information next month just made the whole thing even better! Now i'm even more excited for D23 than I already was!

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

If there wasn't another trailer next month, I would be concerned that they only showed Olympus. But oh man this game is massive. After four years, most of the gameplay we've seen is just from one world. I can't tell if having Disney voice overs done means anything as to the state of the game.

I my guess as to what happened is the plan was always to have this trailer theyve been working on for a long time at d23, but they knew there would be riots and concern if the game didn't show at e3 so they just cut and slapped together a bunch of gameplay from Olympus to tide the fans over for the month.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

what i got from this:

okay so before sora lands the "attack" commando changes
drives seem to be activated by situation commands
the magnet finisher from kh2 is back, just like many other combos
other than that sora can apparently level his drives - "first form" changes to "second form"
he uses his kh1 moves as well (limit sora stuff)

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

There were translations when it was shown in the Orchestra.

Basically Maleficent is asking Hades if he found a "Black Box" in the world they're in. Xemnas on the other hand, was talking about there being a way to save Roxas, by having Sora use the power of darkness.

I assume the Black Box is the one that MoM asked Luxu to carry around.

I didn't mean literally they threw it together quickly. I mean they planned this as they were making the d23 trailer, but that the d23 trailer is the main trailer and this was just mainly put together as a teaser so fans wouldn't riot about it not being at e3.

​WHY DOES MALEFICENT KNOW ABOUT THE BOX


Maleficent has in-depth knowledge about the Age of Fairytales (either through Master Xehanort or her own research). Why do you think she was aware about The Book of Prophecies to begin with? Plus, she was able to travel back to the Age of Fairy Tales herself: she may have been able to understand what exactly the box is and its importance.

On a more technical note, has anybody noticed the fact that the Seeker of Darkness robes now have the Master of Master's zippers?

It could have the same number of worlds at KH2 and still be triple in size judging by these world sizes.


I feel like this game should have the most worlds in the franchise to this point. KH2 had 11 I believe. So I would think KH3 should have 15-16.

Which is what they said. It's not twice as many worlds it said they have more worlds planned for this game then in KH2. Which would suggest more worlds than in KH2.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

Hades blew my mind. They really striked for perfection on his model.
Pete looks great too. Maleficent looks fine just a little more lightning work and she'll be even better. My only problem with Xemnas is his hair. I feel his face looks finished and his coat is also done just a little more work on the hair for his model. I feel Sora's model looks much better now than it did before. Goofy also looks much better.

I wonder if they are hinting on the weapon Sora is wielding as a upcoming world. If not I really hope it's The Jungle Book. Probably not but I would want that to be true.

Quality over quantity. I'm okay with there being less if the story feels round and well-done. They can't keep adding the amount of worlds every new title, when would they stop?

The quote said they had more worlds planned for KH3 then in KH2. I imagine that will stick.

I think most gamers wouldn't be alright with their being less worlds in KH3 then in KH2. They always strive to be bigger in the sequels.

I say 14-15 worlds at most.

Sorry KH2 had 15 worlds. So I imagine 15 worlds at least sounds about right but Nomura said he had more worlds planned for KH3 then KH2 so there's at least 15 worlds with the chance for more. I would say we'll have more in KH3 then in KH2.

An observation regarding the new forms: 2nd form is accessed through the kingdom key which changes Sora's outfit to a KH2 look alike along with kh2 finishers. Countershield is accessed through the Hercules keyblade, dawning a yellow outfit and a shield weapon game play. Each keyblade unlocks a new outfit recolor and weapon transformation in the form of situational commands a la 0.2 drive forms(that's my theory).

Okay, I've been constantly rewatching the trailer and the situation commands are propping up some big red fucking flags.
You can stack like 5 or 6 of them at the same time. 0.2 had only 3 magic SCs and you could use all of them at once to shred through a bosses health, and this game will probably have as much, if not more spells than KH2.

Just how much shit is relegated to SCs? Magic, Drives, Finishers, Summons?

Honestly, I think Kingdom Hearts III will have 13 worlds presented. Dream Drop Distance provided 7 worlds corresponding with the Princess of Heart, I feel that Kingdom Hearts III will have 13 to correspond with the Seekers of Darkness. Some worlds like Mount Olympus and San Fransokyo will be open-sandbox worlds, whilst Mysterious Tower and Twilight Town will be more conventional platforming worlds.

No way will it have less worlds then KH2. I do not see that at all. The same level or more but not less.

DDD had that many worlds cause it was on the 3DS, a system that couldn't handle a big amount of worlds. It had nothing to do with the Princesses of Heart. It was also supposed to have another world Treasure Planet but got cut from the game.

I mean I could use that logic and say 13 seekers of darkness and 7 guardians of light = 20 worlds

Personally I am in love with how the game's combat looks, but this is a very good point. Unless the unlock conditions for them have changed, it could be something that is too easy to spam. It definitely would have been smarter to keep it locked down to three at a time. Maybe it's something that can be altered via the config menu? I feel like that would be an easy fix.

While im not using this as a complete 100 percent accurate representation of anything and i cold be completely wrong, and no nothing what so ever, seeing as im going off only NA stuff, as well as it could be coincidence, but if you play kingdom hearts union cross and take into consideration that the medals are "borrowed power" from the future or whatever thing they use to describe it, i dont remember the exact words to it, but if thats the case, The Characters are borrowing the power from Moana meaning that there is a chance that the level could appear in the game, The only other two levels i can think of that dont Appear in kingdom hearts but have medals are Zootopia with Nick And Judie and the Jungle book Characters, And the jungle book was set to appear in Birth By sleep before it was scrapped

I mean theirs a chance Zootopia could appear in teh game to no doubt, esp since Donald and goofy wouldn't have to change there appearence and they could turn Sora into His original Kingdom Hearts 1 look if they wanted to, that would be pretty funny, This isnt solid proof mind you just speculation from Observation

Gameplay-wise looks promising, I can't barely see the floatiness if we compare it to BBS or 0.2, However the graphics... The backgrounds are nice, same with the visual effects but Maleficient looks EXTREMELY pale, and Xemnas face looks so unnatural, and the eyes make him look like he just went to the dark side in Star Wars.

About the rest, well, they only showed Olympus, I hope we don't see ANYTHING else about this world (specially from that boss pic that we got months ago) or they will spoil the whole world.

Also I hope they fix those camera angles (1:45). In any case we're getting a second trailer, didn't expect that to be honest, so I'm pretty excited. (Wishing to see more about that damn black box!)

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

My problem with SCs, based on my experience with 0.2, is that they're unreliable.
They way you got them didn't seem to make sense. There were so many times I would throw out 3 Firagas and 1 Blizzaga, and for some reason get Blizzaja (apparently it's based on the way it hits enemies?).
But I can sort of deal with that.

The real problem is Drives. They cannot work the same way. If you want to keep any semblance of strategy, you can't do it. That shit needs to be as straightforward as possible. If a situation calls for Guard Form, I should have access to it (at a cost of course). Keep it in the player's hands.
I can see the benefit of it eliminating Drive spam (which would also remove the need for Anti-Form), but the trade-off isn't worth it imo.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

Hrm pretty rad trailer looking it over...

Dang it Xemnas STOP MESSING WITH SORA! Serious for a guy who wants the 7 lights to gather you sure as heck do a poor job showing that when you come in and step in the way of every attempt at doing so. Just let Sora bring Roxas back without all this unnecessary evil manipulation. If I didn't know better I would say Xehanort is torn between having the seven lights gather and being secretly afraid of having to face retribution from a ton of powerful heroes who desire little more than to see him fail and pay for his transgressions. Also glad to see Xemnas and Ansem are traveling buddies and will be appearing in worlds like they did in DDD. Xemnas is such a great character and KH2's greatest crime was how little we got of him.

The luxu box is just gonna be "Maleficent searches for a castle" plot isn't it? She's going to go to the different worlds seeking Luxu's box and along the way mess with Sora because she hates his guts.

Gameplay looks super radical loving...well everything and it's neat that KH2 is being given its own form. I wonder if DDD Sora gets his own form where he summons dream eaters that be pretty cool...speaking of summons they STILL haven't shown that element of gameplay yet. 3 active party members with HUD included = yes finally.

A the end of the trailer we see the message that there will be a new trailer at the D23. There is also a pic of Sora in the back with something. Can someone tell me what it is?[video]https://youtu.be/0PQivxd36l4[/video]

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

So I feel like starting from D23 onwards KH3 is gonna be getting consistent focus from now till it's release. We've got so much ahead. TGS in September, Jump Festa in Dec, all the way to it's release hopefully next year.

Of course the 15 + world reveals should be interesting. I hope we get a balance of old and new worlds.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

Man the difference good lighting and actual backgrounds makes...

Oh thinking that last scene I think I get why Ansem is also just standing there and what they mean by "use the darkness". Xemnas and Ansem are basically there to make a point. That one way (and currently the only known way) to bring Roxas back is to give into the darkness and gain a relationship like Ansem and Xemnas had. That is Sora become a human heartless and his body will be reborn as Roxas. Similar to the previous relationship Sora and Roxas had but without Kairi joining in this time and without Sora just becoming a shadow. And of course Xehanort would LOVE for Sora to become like him. He'd get a Sora teeming with darkness he could hijack and Roxas his ideal vessel would be ripe for the picking as well.

Oh man! I was so not expecting this. The game is looking great. One thing I can't help but notice that during some points of the trailer, such as about 45 seconds in, there are actually three party members. Really liking that, as it seems we may finally be getting a bigger party for the worlds.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

Man the graphics look amazing, just yesterday I was a bit worried about how well they can improve from the weird lighting from the tower scene in 0.2 but I'm not worried anymore. Sora looks good now as does everyone else. It's certainly a lot to get used to though, compared to the usual KH style! I guess the only thing that's kind of eh about the combat for me is that Sora does a lot of horizontal spinning which reminds me of DDD and flowmotion and all that which I'm not a fan of, but the air combos look really good and glad to see some KH2 elements brought back. The combat sure looks flashy, which also kind of bothered me at first, but since it's just showcasing all the new stuff, and not how a basic combat flow would be going that's fine too.

Looking good, yay for Roxas, though I'm not really sure why Ansem is there lol. Probably just two of the 13 chilling together, bullying Sora since it seemed to work in DDD, why not try it again? I have a feeling the plot will be going even more crazy than in DDD... xD Nice that Maleficent is back in a bigger role apparently too, I hope she'll be all evil again. And that we don't have to fight boring Pete fights again! He can go be invincible somewhere else.

They reeeally need to keep their grabby darkness hands away from Sora. Although... I do love anti-form and the brief heartless time you get in KH1 so I wouldn't hate something cool like that. As long as he's safe. And good and comfy and fine.

Agreed.
But with Sora turning to the darkness, makes you wonder if Riku or Mickey has to come into play with that, seeing Riku has experience with keeping from being "swallowed" by darkness like with CoM. Riku needed some help from Mickey at certain points like "Ansem" when he tried to trap Riku but then Mickey shows up and stops him.
Maybe it will be the same with Sora.

I liked what I saw, except for paled Maleficent and fanmade Xemnas. I imagine they're still perfecting their shading with Unreal Engine 4 and the Kingdom Shader. But I'll remain cautiously optimistic. Though the gameplay is looking like the series has hit a climax. I don't think they can top this anymore than what they have done.

I completely disagree. The lad has to have a first hand experience of darkness. Him turning into a Heartless in Kingdom Hearts 1 doesn't really count because he released his heart in order to set Kairi's heart free. Riku had an arc conquering the darkness, and now he sees light and darkness as two sides of the same coin. Sora's your pure light hero (not in the technical, but in the character sense), I want to see his experience and understanding of darkness throughout Kingdom Hearts III.

Plus, it's an excuse to have Cecil from Final Fantasy IV be featured in the game. He's a knight of darkness, he can teach Sora the ways of controlling it.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

I do love the environments. I might sound silly saying this, but the room Sora is fighting in starting at 1:28 gave me some good chills. I don't know, maybe it's just the contrast from the bright outside to the darker illumination inside is just so good? The feel of him battling Heartless in a room like that just seems surreal and awesome. Hard to explain, silly I know.

The gameplay looks awesome. I had trouble in some parts to figure out what was even happening on the screen, but I suppose that feeling won't be as bad when I play it myself versus watching someone else playing it. Looking at it as a whole, it looks like there will be all sorts of ways to go about battling. I can't wait!

Honestly, my guess is second world returns. I think it'll follow the Kingdom Hearts II plot in which the first world visit is Disney-centric whilst the second world visit is more in line with the original Kingdom Hearts story.

Sorry KH2 had 15 worlds. So I imagine 15 worlds at least sounds about right but Nomura said he had more worlds planned for KH3 then KH2 so there's at least 15 worlds with the chance for more. I would say we'll have more in KH3 then in KH2.


Agreed that's what Nomura said that he wanted more Worlds in KH3 than with KH2 so we still got time for the Remainder of 2017 for more New Worlds to be announced next month it was said that we'll see a New World and a Trailer at D23 Expo so yeah.

I mean whatever floats your boat.
I'd rather see Sora as a character who, if any, struggles with the bad parts of light and realizes (yet again) that light and dark dont equal good and bad.

This is the type of trailer that we needed. It really emphasizes the Disney side of things, making it seem important and engages the fans to want to know more (what are those black boxes?). The visuals, the fighting, everything looked great. And the tiny hint of the storyline was great - Sora confronting the darkness on a personal level. Didn't give away anything, yet hyped me up so much. I cannot wait for the new trailer.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

OH MY GLOB I LOVED THIS TRAILER! ;~;

Okay, Fudge, breathe.

Firstly, I love how it starts off with the phrase "Don't assume your dreams are just fantasy. If you can imagine a world, believe in it...and dive in." Good advice and Kingdom Hearts-y.

Mount Olympus looks fantastic. The Heartless have that "balloony" shine to them, so they're probably not finished yet. Sora's Keyblade animation look so much better than it did previously, and as much as I have a dislike for frequently flashy attacks, I wholly enjoyed Sora going complete Jojo on the Heartless, and his team attack with Goofy was not only satisfying but hilarious. "My friends are my power!" *throws Goofy at the Heartless*

We didn't get the best look at Herc, but I don't think I could be happier with Pete, Maleficent, and Hades. Speaking of Hades, he has his smoke! I don't recall him ever having it in previous games and I'm so happy to see it here! And a thing we wanted to happen appears to be happening: Disney worlds being relevant. Not only are Disney villains interacting with each other again, but Maleficent has purpose in KH3, unlike in KH2 where she was just kinda there for no reason. Looking for the Master of Master's secret box might be a seemingly simple motivation, but it's a good one, and having her ask Hades about a "black box" leads me to believe he's thinking of Pandora's Box. See how easy it is to tie the Disney worlds with KH's story?!

Weather effects. Awesome. Rock Titan. Awesome.

The scene at Twilight Town looks like it's the standard Unreal engine shading. This time around, SDG actually good here, like the FMVs, but my precious Xemnas looks kinda off, though it appears like he's beauty is suffering from the shading and it's not an issue with the model itself. I'm laughing so hard at Ansem in this scene. He's just standing there with his arms crossed, chilling in the background like a cool guy.

I like how Xemnas is messing with Sora. He's telling Sora that the only why Roxas could be brought back is if Sora becomes a human Heartless so his body can be reborn as Roxas, just like what Ansem and Xemnas are. And Xemnas isn't wrong, as it's the only known way (aside from the Key to Return Hearts, which we know jack squat about) and it puts Sora through a dilemma: deny Roxas his own existence? Or become like the bad guys and probably lose the use of the Keyblade? (Since he'd be a Heartless.)

The trailer no longer says "Now in development". I'd say you guys have no idea how happy I am to not see that, but you probably do.

New world and trailer next month! If that silhouette is hinting at what the next world is, the only thing that comes to mind is Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

I've never gotten the feeling that Sora hates darkness or feels it's all evil, I mean he has no problem with Riku being a darkness user? I would be fine with Sora being like hmm wonder if I could use darkness too and learning some new powers, maybe being a bit worried how it'll go since he hasn't used them before and all that, but I don't really want any more of that being taken by darkness thing. DDD was already dumb enough. Sora learning to embrace the darkness in him in a positive way would be different and fine for me, but we've already seen that falling to darkness thing quite enough. In everything. Everywhere. So. Many. Times.

And also, the negative sides to light is something I'd like to see more of, we already got Eraqus but a different perspective would be nice.

It's from 0.2, "Wave of Darkness", the theme of the final boss.

Can I just say how I'm not a fan of having so many things tied to one button, or rather, Situation Commands? The game has so many mechanics as it is, and having most of them tied to the same button (with seemingly no restrictions) is a little ehhh… I feel like the game could benefit from having less mechanics. Osaka also isn't known for good game balancing, so that's also a little bit troubling.

So yeah, Second Form is basically Limit Form 2.0. Sora's KH3 outfit is in the colors of his KH2 outfit, and as evidenced by the trailer, he has old abilities in this form.

It's also probably connected to the Kingdom Key, since it's, well, obviously in the Second Form logo.

I wonder if there will be a KH1 version of this form so we can have Limit Form 1.0[hehe]

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

I actually hope we can choose how many party members to take with, I personally prefer to just have D&G with me and only ever used the world specific Disney characters if I really needed their limit. D&G don't really count as "Disney characters" to me in the same way as all the others since they're their own characters in these games, but I don't really want the others in at all. As little Disney as possible for me, please.

Also, having many party members means we should have good control over them, I definitely want to be able to turn off their abilities and control what they do, it's annoying when the AI decides to screw up your plans and get in the way. The more members are out, the more likely it is that one of them does something I don't want them to.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

Everything looks good as such and they made such a huge improvement but as for the combat system goes, i don't really like the BBS system as much. I am hoping that you gain abilities just like in KH2FM from defeating bosses like finishing leap, horizontal slash or even gaining them through leveling drive forms like combo plus. If thats in game then i wouldn't mind having the BBS combat system if they would add variations to the attack than instead of just spamming the button X and then pressing triangle. Other than that, The plot is perfect af, the background/scenery is perfect af, portraits and certain models could see some use but they are ok (but i know they will get even more improved). If they can capitalizes on the combat in this game then this will be the best way to end this saga on a high note!

Also, having many party members means we should have good control over them, I definitely want to be able to turn off their abilities and control what they do, it's annoying when the AI decides to screw up your plans and get in the way. The more members are out, the more likely it is that one of them does something I don't want them to.

I agree about being able to have a "settings" function in the same vein as KH2. It was good, you could even turn off all their abilites so they just stand around and do nothing, set things up as "frequently, never, rarely, etc." It was really good.

I do want some more Disney characters in my party, but I guess that's everyone else's taste. :D Though I do have to admit I also always stick with Goofy and Donald

Ballad of Caius
A thought: maybe we see Sora wearing different clothes because the trailer might depict more than one visit to Olympus (remember that in KH2 each world had a new story every time you were prompted to visit it).

I hope this isn't truuueee

Platinum End
Everything looks good as such and they made such a huge improvement but as for the combat system goes, i don't really like the BBS system as much. I am hoping that you gain abilities just like in KH2FM from defeating bosses like finishing leap, horizontal slash or even gaining them through leveling drive forms like combo plus. If thats in game then i wouldn't mind having the BBS combat system if they would add variations to the attack than instead of just spamming the button X and then pressing triangle. Other than that, The plot is perfect af, the background/scenery is perfect af, portraits and certain models could see some use but they are ok (but i know they will get even more improved). If they can capitalizes on the combat in this game then this will be the best way to end this saga on a high note!

Um, this game isn't using BBS' combat system, which is the Comand Deck. The game uses the Command Menu

I, too, would prefer having control over how many party members you have with you. At least as soon as it's more than two, simply because they can fuck up too much. Also every character is a potential waste of Donald's fucking mp so he gets even more reasons not to heal me. Don't want, don't need.

It's from 0.2, "Wave of Darkness", the theme of the final boss.

Can I just say how I'm not a fan of having so many things tied to one button, or rather, Situation Commands? The game has so many mechanics as it is, and having most of them tied to the same button (with seemingly no restrictions) is a little ehhh… I feel like the game could benefit from having less mechanics. Osaka also isn't known for good game balancing, so that's also a little bit troubling.


Interesting. I haven't played that yet so thanks for not spoiling. Figured I was first going to hear that track at the concert in 2 weeks, guess it's a moot point now haha.

Have to say, it doesn't sound very final boss-y to me, though.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

Was a nice suprise to find out SE released a new trailer. I really love how the disney characters look especially Hades. TBH Xemnas looks a bit weird but that may be due to lighting. Seeing the limits and other gameplay elements were awesome as well. I noticed how Sora changed to KH2 colors for one of his drive forms. Reminds me of how limit form give KH1 colors. What's interesting is he uses some KH1 moves with that form in the traier. Seeing how kh2 sora and KH3 sora appear in Mt. Olympus I guess we can assume Sora gets his new outfit in Mt. Olympus.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

Agreed, KH1 did it well - only one visit that covers the whole story, and then later on if you go back you can access some new places and do new sidequests etc. when you have more abilities. Even some events could maybe unlock later, but I would much prefer the story would just happen at once, except for the original worlds of course which always have multiple visits. KH2 just made it drag out too much and made the story too all over the place.

That's because it's actually toned down a lot! The in-game theme has even a choir at the second phase of the fight, and the drums are much louder. It's really awesome when you play! :D

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

I mean I feel like multiple world visits should be a given by now that's been KH standard since CoM. In CoM you visit the worlds twice, once as Sora and once as Riku. In KH2 you visit every world twice some mandatory, some optional, and some way more than twice. In Days you visit every world many times. In BBS you visit every world 3 times once as each character. In Coded you technically never revisit a world however they get the same effect when you go through shortened replicas of each world getting a recap on Data Riku's side of those worlds. In DDD you visit every world twice once as Sora and once as Riku.

I would be shocked beyond all reason if KH3 didn't have us visiting every world at least twice...and probably splitting up the plot with Maleficent and Pete the first time and then an original story the next time that is more plot relevant.

I am wondering if Sora will give into the darkness just to bring back Roxas and possibly Xion. It would interesting to see Xehanort have a Heartless that he can't control and possibly have his cohorts turn on him for whatever reason. People can be unpredictable and so is light and darkness, that would be a good payoff, I guess.

Trailer looks great. Though I still feel a bit weird looking at the new models, I guess that's just coz I'm not used to them yet. Aside from that they are stunning. Really suprised at how good Pete came out though.
The combat system has a lot of moves stuffed in 1 place. I don't mind I guess, but yeah, it would suck if this would hinder our control over Sora's moves. But I'm excellent at button mashing, so who knows.
Olympus looks great and all, very big, very nice. But it worries me that it's the only world we see so far. We've seen smaller bits of other worlds, but this the only one they've extensively shown. I don't really care about how many worlds there are tbh, I just want a statisfying ending for this Saga. But this does make me wonder, are they really that far in development? I mean, 2018? Hell yeah I would be in. But isn't it a bit too soon to get our hopes up? For all we know they only finished 1 world and the rest has yet to be finished.

Clearly, Disney is doing additional supervision for this game. It shows because the showings are at the Orchestra event and D23, two events sponsored and funded by Disney. It's a stark contrast to 2.8 which was promoted entirely by Square Enix themselves at E3.

Someone else pointed out there was no attraction flow in this trailer even though IIRC every titan battle they've shown in other trailers has used it. It might not mean anything but I'm gonna be on the lookout now to see if it pops up again or not.

I wouldn't mind visiting the worlds again as long as the story is actually fleshed out both times. With KH2 I felt like they took one world's worth of storyilne and split it up into two parts, with one or both halves of the visit feeling way too short.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer shows Xemnas, Maleficent and more

The more footage we see of it, the more intriguing Twilight Town is to me. I'm interested to see what new areas they add. I'm also interested to see what's been going on there since the happenings of KH2. The main reason all of this is so interesting to me is the mansion. Up until this trailer, I had believed we were done visiting the mansion, as previous footage shows the hole in the wall the originally led to the woods, and thereby the mansion, was boarded up. So now that we're confirmed to be able to visit the mansion again, I'm wondering why the wall is boarded up, and where the new path to the mansion is.

I'm also pretty confused by the people saying Maleficent is too pale. She's supposed to be pale, that's one of her main characteristics. I think she looks perfect, and I'm so excited to see what she's up to looking for the Master of Master's box.

All in all, this trailer is great, and I'm really excited to see the D23 trailer. I'm hoping for Atlantis - and a release year.

Wonder when they'll show the world corresponding with the Keyblade used with power form since it wasn't shown in this trailer.

I'm still pretty optimistic that Keyblade/form is linked with Wreck it Ralph.

Y'know it being about Power,Ralph being about strength,color scheme focusing on red,Ralph wearing red,Felix hammer,Sora's hammer type weapon.

I don't want to say things that everyone else has already said, though (or that I even have on my Tumblr), so I'll try to keep this post short for now.

1. The Disney characters look A+++ now, and I'm completely on board with this new engine, finally. ^_^'

2. I hadn't even considered that last image could be hinting at an Atlantis world, but if it is I'll be as happy as a clam. Eep!

3. I wonder how Sora giving into the darkness some (if he actually does it, which he probably won't) could effect his and Kairi's relationship. She told him not to change, after all. And even at the previous concert, she was saying: "

^ I'm hoping this will mean it'll flesh Kairi out a lot more as a character, since she's only had some screen time in the previous major titles. Especially some time between Sora and Kairi would be a good thing to explore, considering it'd make her a bit more involved or relevant to the story. I suppose we'll have to wait and see if anything like this happens in the game.

They can easily accidentally go to the Tangled world first or something which would give us more time before becoming overpowered. When have they ever actually purposefully gone to the right disney world. The gummi ship always crashes or something pulls them to different worlds.

Also for the people who think Sora being in his KH2 outfit for part of the world indicates it being the first world, LOOK AT HIS KEYBLADE. We have seen him using 3 different keyblades within that one world so far, so if anything that makes me think there is a world BEFORE this one to obtain that star keyblade. In short Olympus won't be the first visit.

Hasn't nomura said it's the first world? What's most likely from the trailer is they have endgame abilities turned on just to demonstrate the gameplay.

I am seeing alot of different people on the internet assuming that all of the abilities shown will be given to us at the start. God I hope not. Also I am still not convinced that Hercules is even the first world. Yea it is the teams goal to get to that point but that doesn't mean they will have full control of where they're going. They can easily accidentally go to the Tangled world first or something which would give us more time before becoming overpowered. When have they ever actually purposefully gone to the right disney world. The gummi ship always crashes or something pulls them to different worlds.

Also for the people who think Sora being in his KH2 outfit for part of the world indicates it being the first world, LOOK AT HIS KEYBLADE. We have seen him using 3 different keyblades within that one world so far, so if anything that makes me think there is a world BEFORE this one to obtain that star keyblade. In short Olympus won't be the first visit.
um olymus is the first we visit if you played and see the ending that the first world sora going to visit

I am hoping a lot of the situation commands are in our abilities and we have to equip them with ability points. I think that would help balance out the 6 stack of commands. Who knows, maybe the Sora here has maxed AP so they can show off everything at once.

Aqua in 0.2 didn't have abilities we could look at, I figured that was just because it is a short game, but what if they are actually going with something different and we won't really get to choose abilities o_O

Hopefully Donald, Goofy and Jiminy can talk some sense into him this time if he's indeed tempted to fall for Xemnas' tricks.
Ansem SoD did try the very same thing in regards to Riku:

Riku: Except...it's not over. I can still save Sora.

(Ansem's orange eyes glint)

Ansem: So you understand what to do. Set the darkness in you free, and you
can rescue your friend.


If you can't tempt one with the promise of power and strength by itself, try it with the prospect of saving someone you care about, one of the oldest tricks in the book for a manipulator.

1. I know, I know, but he does make good points sometimes (like how Second Form is most likely just KH and KH2 combos and powers like how Limit Form was in KH2FM).
2. Personally, I wouldn't have liked that at all. Too much clutter on a screen is never a good thing. Plus, it makes the Situation Commands that much more interesting to utilize (given there were like 3 of them all on top of each other in the trailer...clutter).

Also, about the new Drive Forms so far, what do you guys think? Are they just solely going to be based on the Keyblade you're currently wielding? We've only ever seen Guard Form with the new Olympus Keyblade Shield.
PS I've been doing some reading on Greek Mythology, and MAN Zeus was very rapey. I mean, look it up; at a certain point it's not disturbing anymore, it's just...wow.

I'm hoping Riku told Sora about the whole "Ah, Roxas, now there was a worthy candidate." line from Young Xehanort. If Riku didn't, then Sora giving way to darkness will play into Xehanort's hands easily. Sora will out out of commission and Roxas will be ripe for plucking.

SE only remembers Jiminy in the handheld titles.


At least this time around the manipulation is more believable. From what the characters know (and really, from what we know) Sora becoming a Heartless so Roxas can use the body is the only guaranteed way. There's the "Key to Return Hearts", but we don't actually know what it does. It could be a device DiZ made that specifically extracts the hearts in Sora, but that's still no good for Roxas and Xion if there's no body for the hearts to go to.

Xickin

comment graphic

While it may be true that Roxas might only be able to return via Sora losing himself to darkness, it's been shown before that both he and Roxas can exist at the same time. If they re-use their previous method, however, then we might have the problem of 358/2 Days Roxas draining Sora's power.

Also, I re-examined the trailer, apparently right at the very beginning we can see 3 party member gauges: Hercules (separate and above the regular members) then Donald and Goofy. Personally, I'd like for there to be a party of 4 at one time. It's reminiscent of a regular JRPG, and it just seems appropriate to keep them all together so that they can interact with one another (not really in gameplay).

Also, from what I can see, it seems we obtain our Drive Forms BEFORE we get our new clothes. In addition, the spell finisher names have changed since 2.8. We've got Blizzaza, Firaza, and Thundaza (instead of the suffix -ja).

I'm also glad that our pics change when we fight. We go from happy to determined once we enter battle.

Never mind being his 3D self; if Sora learned anything from KH2, it should be that everything Xemnas has ever said was bullshit, and that he is the last person you should trust for any reliable information about Roxas; considering A) he manipulated Roxas' memories to the point where everything he knew was a lie, and B) EVERYTHING HE HAS EVER SAID WAS BULLSHIT!

I mean here is the thing about Xemnas he never has actually lied, at least not directly. Every word Xemnas has said is the truth the most lying he is ever done is by lies of omission. However lies of omission aren't really true lies, it just means no one asked Xemnas the right questions. It's what makes Xemnas such an insidious and potent manipulator, he deceives by telling the truth in very deliberately phrased ways.

Like when he said "I can not feel sorrow" listen closely to the delivery, the slight awkward way of spacing. He's not saying he can't feel sorrow he's actually say "I can choose to not feel sorrow". Likewise in that scene where he talks about using the darkness to bring Roxas back that's not a lie, Ansem and Xemnas standing there are living proof of that. If Sora were to embrace the darkness, walk the same path Xehanort did and become an actual human heartless like Ansem his body would be reborn as Roxas. Allowing both Sora and Roxas to exist and without Namine's memory interference this time they really could co-exist with little issue.

And if Sora ever gets desperate enough it's not impossible that he might fall back into that as a final option.

BlackOsprey

Am I the only one who didn't immediately think that Xemnas was referring to Sora turning into a Heartless when he mentioned "calling upon the darkness?"

I mean, Sora WAS pretty gullible in DDD but I don't think he's THAT stupid. Roxas was born out of some rather unusual circumstances too, so even if Sora did lose his heart, it's pretty likely the Nobody would turn out like it usually would: with Sora's memories and identity, not Roxas'. Plus I'm pretty sure Sora feels a bit obliged to save a couple other people as well as help prevent the end of the universe before throwing his life away (again) like that.

For whatever reason, my first thought was just using darkness in some sort of way to bring people back. Forbidden magic, that sort of thing? Though I guess using darkness to slice open a heart in order to extract its contents is also possible... if not insanely risky and potentially fatal. :I

Then again, we don't have much context to this scene. Who knows if Xemnas is trying to push Sora to mess with darkness, possibly trying to discourage it (since you need 7 light and all), or just decided to show up and be a dick because that's what villains do.

I was actually under the impression that this was towards the beginning, to be honest. Not trying to claim Twilight Town will be the starting world, but I actually think it might be considering it was the first showcased world for KH3 way back, it has enough merit and story exploration to be a starting point, and it would (imo) feel like a much better intro into the story than just landing in some random Disney world first. But that's just my 2 cents.

Considering that 0.2's last scene, 2.9, leads directly into KH3 and Sora's heading to Olympus Coliseum specifically to get his power back it seems preeeetty likely Olympus is the first world/tutorial world.

I suspect that Sora will have a moment near the end of the world where he regains that power, similar to how Hercules did at the end of the movie, and that will be when he levels up and gets his new clothes and takes on the assault on Mount Olympus

I know what 0.2 showed off at the end and what has been stated, but I'm still not 100% convinced Olympus is the very first starting world. It very well could be and has more pointing towards the fact, and it very well may be, but I'm just saying that I still believe we may end up in a different world first before heading to Olympus.

It's interesting though, because a lot of the fighting they show in this trailer seems to have him in his newer clothes, but when Sora is fighting the Rock Titan he is still in his KH2 outfit. Perhaps while he is in the process of climbing Mount Oympus he is still in his KH2 garb, but changes once he reaches the top of the mountain? The Rock Titan could be the final boss for the world, which could happen right before he reaches the top, and then once he does that he can do tournaments and stuff there whenever they're happening, as was the case in KH1 and KH2.

I never actually questioned that the things Xemnas says there actually are a possible way?
We know that is one possibility, but no matter how you turn it around it is the worst possibility and one that will in the end only benefit the norts.

Riku already proved us that people can be saved without relying on Darkness by figuratively giving Ansem SoD the middle-finger in DDD when he tried to goad him into it yet again.

The main thing I pointed out is how blatantly obvious Xemnas' manipulation attempt is there and that I am looking forward to see if Sora really "matured" and learned from his past experiences enough to not fall into yet another nort-scheme again.

If he keeps falling for Xehanort's tricks he's no better than, err no, scratch that, he's actually worse than Terra in BBS cause while Terra for the longest time didn't know Xehanort is a foul apple, Sora should by now have plenty enough experience to know not to trust anything coming from Xehanort/Xemnas/Ansem.

FudgemintGuardian
SE only remembers Jiminy in the handheld titles.


At least this time around the manipulation is more believable. From what the characters know (and really, from what we know) Sora becoming a Heartless so Roxas can use the body is the only guaranteed way. There's the "Key to Return Hearts", but we don't actually know what it does. It could be a device DiZ made that specifically extracts the hearts in Sora, but that's still no good for Roxas and Xion if there's no body for the hearts to go to.


There's still hope that this may change, lol, not to mention I'm looking forward to how Jiminy looks in the new engine.

Don't you forget Ansem the Wise's data? Yen Sid even mentions the data and that Chip & Dale are currently analyzing it to Sora in the last scenes of 0.2.
This comes on top of the proposed "Key to return Hearts" and if other incidents during the KH series should have taught us and the characters including Sora anything it is that there are more than one way to do most things and that one proposed by the norts always has a catch that plays into their latest scheme.

Xickin
While it may be true that Roxas might only be able to return via Sora losing himself to darkness, it's been shown before that both he and Roxas can exist at the same time. If they re-use their previous method, however, then we might have the problem of 358/2 Days Roxas draining Sora's power.


It is the only known "sure-fire"-way and even that is not completely "sure-fire" at all since it was a highly special situation in which Roxas was created due to at least three factors that aren't in the usual "succumbing to darkness and creating a Heartless"-procedure:
1. The dark Keyblade used.
2. Ventus' heart playing at least a passive role. and
3. Kairi's interference with her powers.

The only reason Sora and Roxas were able to co-exist at all was due to factor 3 with Kairi restoring Sora's human form, which in turn also prevented Roxas from gaining Sora's memories and thus enabled him becoming a person of his own in the first place (due to being "empty" at first).

Roxas "draining" Sora's power was also not from simply co-existing with Sora, but because of Naminé's memory manipulation in CoM and the existence of Xion.
When Naminé broke Sora's main Chain of Memories some of the links (memories) came to rest inside Roxas due to his connection with Sora, but it was Xion who (unwillingly and subconsciously) started absorbing/draining loose memories from Sora through Roxas, resulting in a total mess in the end with Sora's memories scattered across himself, Xion and Roxas, with the own memories of the latter two also thrown in.
This mess could have been resolved without having Xion and Roxas disappear according to Naminé, but doing that would have required several years of work, time they didn't have due to Xemnas and the Organisation's plans.

Dr_Mario64
Never mind being his 3D self; if Sora learned anything from KH2, it should be that everything Xemnas has ever said was bullshit, and that he is the last person you should trust for any reliable information about Roxas; considering A) he manipulated Roxas' memories to the point where everything he knew was a lie, and B) EVERYTHING HE HAS EVER SAID WAS BULLSHIT!


KH 2's experiences certainly can also play a role, yet the several whams (which actually get Sora angry) during DDD should really raise a thousand red flags about anything Xemnas says.

I also love how Goofy goes into a fancy battle stance in that scene apparently ready to jump at Xemnas in a moments notice.

VoidGear.
I mean probably.
But it seems pretty obvious there are more than that one and I hope Sora wont fall for it.


It IS a valid method, there's no doubt about that.
But it is certainly the worst method available and it coming from these people should get the alarm sirens go like crazy.

Hirokey123
I mean here is the thing about Xemnas he never has actually lied, at least not directly. Every word Xemnas has said is the truth the most lying he is ever done is by lies of omission. However lies of omission aren't really true lies, it just means no one asked Xemnas the right questions. It's what makes Xemnas such an insidious and potent manipulator, he deceives by telling the truth in very deliberately phrased ways.

Like when he said "I can not feel sorrow" listen closely to the delivery, the slight awkward way of spacing. He's not saying he can't feel sorrow he's actually say "I can choose to not feel sorrow". Likewise in that scene where he talks about using the darkness to bring Roxas back that's not a lie, Ansem and Xemnas standing there are living proof of that. If Sora were to embrace the darkness, walk the same path Xehanort did and become an actual human heartless like Ansem his body would be reborn as Roxas. Allowing both Sora and Roxas to exist and without Namine's memory interference this time they really could co-exist with little issue.

And if Sora ever gets desperate enough it's not impossible that he might fall back into that as a final option.


Really? So the whole thing about the Organisation and Nobodies getting hearts and be whole only through building a KH wasn't a lie?
Sora outright calls it a lie in DDD as that is what it is. Not to mention the whole "you can't feel anything, you have no heart"-mantra he was constantly feeding the others to keep their hearts from growing, all lies and deception.
Xemnas is no better than MX himself in this regard.

I don't recall anyone actually saying that Xemnas is lying there, nope, it IS a valid method but that doesn't change the fact that it reeks of deliberate manipulation and trying to goad people into playing into his hands yet again, hence why one can certainly say that it is NOT a good idea to follow this shady "advice".

Funny though as you mention Ansem and Xemnas standing there in which what is obviously Twilight Town. How is that even possible?
According to Nomura and DDD itself the reason Ansem and Xemnas appear in the Dream Worlds is because of Young Xehanort acting as a portal, yet I don't see Young Xehanort there anywhere.
They also do appear in the "waking" world during the finale but that is as explained because of the special properties of the World that Never Was which allows all norts to assemble there.
So how can Ansem and Xemnas appear in Twilight Town in flesh and blood if it isn't a sleeping world and Young Xehanort isn't there to act as the portal?
Does Twilight Town have the same "special" properties as TWTNW or does the revived Geezernort now act as the portal?

Thing is though that this would only solve the Sora/Roxas situation, but there are still Xion and Ventus as well, not to mention that Sora would lose the Keyblade wielding ability like Ansem SoD and would yet again play into Xehanort's hands.
To the norts, Darkness is the solution to anything but it clearly isn't when looking at the wider picture.

BlackOsprey
Am I the only one who didn't immediately think that Xemnas was referring to Sora turning into a Heartless when he mentioned "calling upon the darkness?"

I mean, Sora WAS pretty gullible in DDD but I don't think he's THAT stupid. Roxas was born out of some rather unusual circumstances too, so even if Sora did lose his heart, it's pretty likely the Nobody would turn out like it usually would: with Sora's memories and identity, not Roxas'. Plus I'm pretty sure Sora feels a bit obliged to save a couple other people as well as help prevent the end of the universe before throwing his life away (again) like that.

For whatever reason, my first thought was just using darkness in some sort of way to bring people back. Forbidden magic, that sort of thing? Though I guess using darkness to slice open a heart in order to extract its contents is also possible... if not insanely risky and potentially fatal. :I

Then again, we don't have much context to this scene. Who knows if Xemnas is trying to push Sora to mess with darkness, possibly trying to discourage it (since you need 7 light and all), or just decided to show up and be a dick because that's what villains do.


As I mentioned in an earlier post, I did not immediately think of the "Heartless" bit but about the usual Modus operandi ala nort to goad people into giving in to Darkness in order for the old creep to get an entry point, with the whole "use darkness to save someone"-card having been already played by Ansem SoD towards Riku in DDD.

That's another thing to take into account for sure, lol, as there are still TAV, Xion, Naminé and Ansem the Wise to take into account for the whole "saving" thing and then prevent the apocalypse this very nort-cult is trying to bring about.
I mean, people give Axel rightfully some flak about his selfish "plan" to turn Sora into a Heartless in order to get Roxas back, yet now it is suddenly ok or "desirable" because Sora himself might do it?

That was what the Dark Keyblade in KH 1 literally did, unlock the heart in question and exposing it to its own inner darkness.

It is true there isn't much context to this scene, but it lines up very smoothly with what the norts usually do. Both Ansem and Xemnas do the very same things in DDD to both Sora and Riku while MX does some similar things towards Terra in BBS.
The aim is always to make people open up to Darkness so Nort can find an entry point in order to take advantage of the situation and further his own agenda.
If Sora has finally learnt and understood that is what arguably intrigues me most about such scenes.
Regardless if the actual content of the speech isn't an outright lie, never trust a nort and always be wary of how he might to try and exploit you.

I also don't think that either. I felt like calling the Heartless as an example of how Darkness and Roxas can be tied together.

Both are interesting readings.

I know you didn't, I wasn't trying to call you out or something. Thought I'd clarify that it is possible and not just Xemnas spewing nonsense.

It is definitely a shallow manipulation attempt on Xemnas' part, and as you stated before that's kinda the manipulation the Norts did all the while:
- Set Kairi free but complete the Keyhole
- Set the hearts free but then they gather to make Kingdom Hearts

and now, it's set Roxas free but give into the Darkness. What is important is indeed how Sora will react (also, will that scene happen after some tragic event, thus making using the Darkness more... appealing, or something?)

Oh, and I hope Ansem has something to say and isn't just there for looking though. I mean it's Darkness we're talking about.

Anyone think that the SC could be difficulty-based? Like beginner has up to six SC available at a time but the number decreases as you go up in difficulty? And to everyone bothered about all the seemingly high-level moves being available so early in the game, remember that trailers often show late-game content in early parts of the story, for example, the Bladecharge command style in BBS was shown during the Trinity Armor boss even though Aqua and Terra can't get the style till after the fight (Terra gets it in NeverLand and Aqua gets it right after said boss).

I considered that possibility. I could easily see Critical and Proud mode having only 2 or 3 SC stacked at a time. It's also possible that you will be able to stack more the more you level up, so it isn't like you will be able to overpower everything early in the game by spamming them.

Personally I would be fine with them allowing you to edit the amount you can stack via the config menu. Not to mention that the amount we seen in the trailer could be just to show off how flashy the gameplay is now, as you pointed out that all these insane abilities being available in the first world seems really unlikely.

Discouraging Sora from darkness might actually be a good option for Team Nort. As you said, Xehanort needs 7 Lights. But also, while Sora may be susceptible, having Sora fall to darkness in DDD really only worked because Xehanort was pretty much in complete control of Sora's exam. It'd be harder to accomplish this a second time when you factor in that not only is Sora prepared now, but he's not alone this time. So while I say Xehanort's plan of controlling Sora probably isn't off the table, it's also more of a hassle now so they might just be better having him as a Light.

I mean it wasn't a lie as Xemnas's promise WAS...

"I will give you hearts using Kingdom Hearts"

And he was absolutely going to deliver to that, he just left out that the hearts they would be given via Kingdom Hearts are copies of Xehanort's heart consuming what little self they had left to turn them into him.

When they are first born they can't feel anything and they do have no hearts, it's not a lie to say that. He just never told them that they don't remain like that, he never told them they were able to grow hearts. However he never said Kingdom Hearts was the only way...the most he did is ask Sora what other options Nobodies have which retroactively could be seen as him checking to see if Sora had figured out the truth.

It's true you should never ever trust Xehanort but it's also true that Xemnas doesn't really lie, Sora calls it a lie because technically what Xemnas did is lie by omission. But again a lie by omission isn't really a lie it's certainly as manipulative and deceptive a lie, sharing the same nature, but it's technically still telling the truth. Which is why those who master lying by omission are FAR more insidious and potent as manipulators. It's basically Apprentice Xehanort's calling card, both parts of him Ansem and Xemnas do it when compared to MX who is just a dirty baldface (Or baldhead if you want) liar. It kind of made MX unique in that unlike other Xehanorts pretty much everything he says is just a flat out lie. Maybe that's in part why he never felt convincing in BBS.

And for someone as innocent as Sora, willing to see the good before the bad, someone who lies by omission is probably far more disgusting a person. Which is why I don't see Sora falling into this trap...maybe if he had tried this before DDD Sora might of considered it for at least a moment. But after that meeting in DDD where Sora showed nothing but pure disgust and rage for every slimy thing that came out in Xemnas's silky smooth voice? No he won't fall for it but the Norts knew Riku couldn't be corrupted and still tried anyway in DDD so it makes sense they at least tried this option.

You raise a good point about Ansem and Xemnas being there without YX. It could be YX is off screen or maybe Ansem is the one using the time travel power this time explaining why he is just standing there? I mean Nomura did say with DDD "this time YX is the one who gathered the norts" implying that in the future someone else is gonna do it and that could by why Ansem is there. I mean the power of time travel is Ansem's he just lent it to YX. AND someone was going to have to travel back and grab YX again anyway since YX isn't going to know to travel to the future a second time without someone going back to order him.

I was just wondering because as far as I observed no one called the actual validity of Xemnas' claims into question.
Although the whole issue had certain special circumstances nonetheless which resulted in Roxas becoming the unique hybrid being that he is.

To say it as Xemnas himself would: Indeeeeeed.
Wut? As far as this series goes most "tragic" events happening to people is because of some nutjob misusing the Darkness, which IS a dangerous element there's no way around that.
Would be a bit weird to suddenly find the very thing more appealing to use which is used to make most of the tragic events happen in the first place.

Watch there being a mirrored scene during the story somewhere where Ansem SoD is again blabbering his ass off about Darkness towards Riku, Mickey and (possibly) Aqua, and then it is Xemnas who has to stand in the background looking bored.
Maybe Xemnas and Ansem are now "those two bad guys" who have to do all the leg-work for the great wrinkly Overnort.

Strictly spoken that's true, but it is not even sure if Sora even knows about Ventus yet because a certain forgetful Yoda Mouse and a tower-sitting, beard stroking wizard constantly forego telling him.
Sure, Ven's heart stirred within Sora during DDD and there was the whole borrowing armor to buy time issue, yet we don't know how much Sora actually consciously remembers of all that.

But not counting all details it is of course right to say that Ventus, and by extension also Aqua and Terra, are far longer in their "worse than death" situations than Roxas is.

FudgemintGuardian
That was their whole role in DDD. I don't want that repeated here. XD

For some reason, it'd actually amuse me in a way if Ansem and Xemnas were already there doing their own thing and had no clue SDG would show up.

Same.

Well, in the old mansion there is still Ansem the Wise's computer and the digital Twilight Town, so it could have to do something with that.

FudgemintGuardian

Discouraging Sora from darkness might actually be a good option for Team Nort. As you said, Xehanort needs 7 Lights.

So while I say Xehanort's plan of controlling Sora probably isn't off the table, it's also more of a hassle now so they might just be better having him as a Light.

It also worked in DDD due to Sora not being prepared for all the suffering of the other hearts connected to him (possibly because of a certain Mouse forgetting to go more in-depth on the events depicted in Coded and Data-Naminé's warning which was exactly what Xehanort exploited). Therefore Sora's "fall" was more like someone tripping him and dunking him head first into the darkness, yet instead of pulling himself out, he "chose" to dive deeper in a misguided attempt to help.

Yep, Sora's better prepared now but knowing the norts that probably won't deter them fully, they also knew about Riku yet they still weren't ready to completely give up on him in DDD. It was only in Symphony of Sorcery that they finally admitted that Riku is of no more use to them.

FudgemintGuardian

I meant to imply that the "Key to Return Hearts" might very well be Ansem the Wise's data, but I've reread my comment and seen that I've failed such. XD

There's just something about having one of the most loved cartoon characters in history ready to brutally murder a beautiful anime man.

I can imagine it being connected to it, since it's implied to include the results of all of Ansem's heart- and nobody-research (which he continued as DiZ in secret), but I doubt the data itself is the KtRH as in that case it would be pointless to send Sora looking for it.

Indeeed, lol.
Goofy has certainly enough of all the shit the norts are pulling.

He's probably really pissed at Xemnas right now for stealing his shtick.

Wait...so does this make Ventus that fan who claims they've "been waiting 10 years" for KH3?


Considering the norts usual shtick I'd assume Xemnas asking much more than that, lol.

Or he's rolling his eyes at Xemnas thinking his speeches suck and his own are way superior in both theatralics and content.

*snort* Rather unlikely I'd say since while he's on occasion rather sassy, Ven is usually described as friendly and "too benign for his own good" so he wouldn't be one of those constantly complaining about waiting for KH 2 since 2005. ;P

Yep, Ventus would probably have given Nomura one of his puppy-eye-stares of diabetes-inducing cuteness (possibly with some cat-ears put on his head since Nomura loves cats) and KH III would have been released in 2015 already. ;P

AND someone was going to have to travel back and grab YX again anyway since YX isn't going to know to travel to the future a second time without someone going back to order him.


Isn't that splitting hairs a little?
Deception remains deception in the end and using some parts that are the truth in the way one does it doesn't make it any better or "justified" in any way.
Thinking up some fake story or just leaving out some crucial points (aka the full truth) are two different approaches, but still amount to the same result in the end.

If they would really follow the logical approach and show that Sora learned he certainly shouldn't fall for it, anything else would be either bad writing or showing off that Sora is someone who doesn't learn from former mistakes.

An interesting take on the issue for sure.
Ansem was the original "owner" of the time travel powers anyways so it could make sense for him being the portal again, although that gives us the question as to how can Ansem run around freely in the present of KH III and be the portal when the recompleted full Xehanort is also already around.
If this is a "present" Ansem SoD this could mean that Master Xehanort somehow found a way to extract the "essences" or whatever is left of both Ansem and Xemnas from within himself (as that is where the "true" Ansem and Xemnas should be after recompletion) and also give them a form so they can exist alongside him during the present.

Was I the only one who thought this trailer wasn't real when the thumbnail picture popped up on youtube? XD

Overall the trailer was great. I'm really looking forward to the new trailer next month as well.

Its cool that Sora is trying to get Roxas back, the poor kid was only existing for a year before having to give up his own existence for Sora to wake after all. But please don't get tricked by Xemnas again. Once was fine but twice is ridiculous, the guy is obviously evil and not even remotely hiding his motives.
As for Xion coming back I have mixed feelings about. I'm one of those people who have only watched the 1.5 remix cutscenes and I don't really care too much about her as a character.

Also I want Ven to talk to Sora inside his head in KH3. It would be funny (in my opinion) if Sora talks aloud to himself and others over hear him chatting with himself. It would also help in building a proper friendship between the two before they retrieve Ven's body from Castle Oblivion.

Judging by the trailer, I'm pretty sure Roxas is gonna be brought back to life or something in KH3 and since I thought his disappearance in KH2 was a good ending to his story, it feels like the developers will revive him just for fanservice to the Roxas fans.

Roxas can be brought back to the series outside of fan service, The Guardians of Light roster has not been defined yet.

Roxas (and others) being brought back to life/saved has literally been a plotpoint in the series for the past 7 years, across 4 different games?

If the dialogue is anything like Jaime Reyes and the Scarab or TFS's Piccolo, Kami and Nail, then I would 100% be on baord with this. Hell, toss in Xion and Roxas for good measure and we can pretty much have representation from each non-Sora installment in his head during the journey.

Late Response, but this trailer was honestly amazing! I can tell the gameplay in particular is really polished by this point too. I really liked the idea of second form, it's definitely going to make Kingdom Key runs much more interesting for speed runners.Although for some reason, the flashy gameplay didn't hype me up much, at least not like it normally does. Lol, probably cause I watched it at like, five in the morning (to tired to react) and analyzed it so fast I couldn't get excited much later on.I also thought it was funny how the casual gamer's response to ending cut-scene was always like "Oh my god we're getting Roxas back?!!" when it was literally foreshadowed in the past four games and almost outright said in DDD.
Hmm, but despite all these new trailers, I don't think it's coming next year since Nomura said that even though there were completed worlds that were ready to be showcased, many still remained untouched. And they also have to remake character models from scratch, which also doesn't help. So I'm gonna keep banking on a 2019 release for the time being, until they give us a official release window.

I can not imagine they are not doing that now as we speak. Keep in mind that interview was back in January, some of those worlds could be near done or getting an immense amount of work done on them. This trailer, in my opinion, shows that KH3 is far more completed than we imagined. That U.I seems to be working, a lot of it seems final, and the fact that the Japanese and English trailers are different leads me to believe these are different builds, aka cooperative localization of the game. Not to mention cutscenes are already in the game. I think 2018 is still the year we are getting this, and I am pretty confident on that. WHEN in 2018 I have no clue, but I do believe we my receive a hint of the release next month (at least a year and/or quarter).

To be honest, I want them to sleep on the release date for awhile. I don't want another FFXV/Last Guardian incident, that way if they ever have to delay it only the company is aware of what the initial date was.

That being said, I'd like to put money on the fact that Disney probably really wants it out next year, especially considering next year will be the fifth year from when it was announced, even if it's only been in development since restarting in 2014.

I can only imagine the chaos that would ensue when he stops in a world to talk to himself which either confuses or annoys whatever disney character he comes across.

They remove them so they don't appear to be favoriting Playstation or Xbox.

Technically, it's the Orchestra version. People need to make that clarification cause I got confused first time around.

I've been thinking about the wording at the end of the trailer:



...we proudly present a NEW WORLD and NEW TRAILER


What's the bet that these are both separate, and the new World is only shown off in concept art and producer video while the new trailer shows off just Corona and San Fransokyo lmao

I've assumed this exactly for a while. We'll prob get concept art for a new world and actual footage of already announced ones. Fine by me, I don't need to see the whole game in a trailer

I'm satisfied seeing Big Hero 6 in action. I rewatched the film this evening and have a lot of questions about how the world will play out.

Personally, I hope that Abigail Callaghan has a role in the game. Sure, she was more of a plot device as opposed to being an outright character, but she was a former astronaut that traveled to a different dimension. Seeing as the Disney worlds are more connected to the lore of the series for this game, I can see her talking about other worlds like The Realm of Darkness.

Probably an odd question but how do you think Xemnas and the rest of the norts know that Sora and co. are trying to bring Roxas and etc... back?

Aside from them being candidates for the X-Blade, it has been showed that Xehanort can read their intentions like a book. Wasn't too hard for him to figure it out.

And we didn't get the entire seen, so for all we know Sora could have outright told Xemnas and Ansem that he's at the old mansion in hopes to find info on reviving Roxas.
