Kingdom Hearts thread folks. With Dream Drop Distance being 60fps, do you think Kingdom Hearts 3 will be 60fps? And apparently KH BBS 0.2 will be a lot longer than a hour and will have a bunch of cutscenes. Hyped as fuck
I'd use that Aqua demo as a better meter of gauging whether or not KH3 will be 60 fps
>>341996425
>do you think Kingdom Hearts 3 will be 60fps?
No. Are you retarded?
>>341996425
>do you think Kingdom Hearts 3 will be 60fps?
Probably not.
How else hyped for Back Cover? Surprised it looks so good. I was gonna pass it off as some cheap lazy mess of cutscenes like 358/2 Days and Re:Coded in the HD ReMix but this is looking like an actual beautifully done movie
>>341996950
I'm having the same issue as I'm having with 0.2 and KH3, the environments look completely fine to me, but the characters not so much.
>>341996425
>3DS remaster
>>341997150
See I think the characters look amazing in Back Cover but in 0.2 and KH 3 the character models need some serious work done
>>341996425
>tfw KH3 will look stunning upon release, but only kinda good after 5 years
>tfw 30FPS will eternally be shitty doesn't matter how many years pass
"Next gen graphics" were a mistake
doubt. it'll run at 30 fps
Who likes Unchained here?
>>341997809
What exactly is wrong with 30fps?
Obligatory to every Kingdom Hearts thread from now on
Since this is the first title after Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, Dream Drop Distance HD is being treated as "Kingdom Hearts 2.6". Then, Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover/Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ represents "0" since it is the first title in the Kingdom Hearts storyline. Lastly, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep represents "0.1", which leads to Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage-. Then from all three titles in the collection, you add 2.6 + 0 + 0.2 to get 2.8.
>>342000428
Speaking of the madman, he revealed a lot in the last interview.
http://www.khinsider.com/news/Famitsu-Interviews-Nomura-on-KINGDOM-HEARTS-3-HD-2-8-FCP-Unchained-X-6667
>—Was the black coated figure the Master of the Foretellers?
>Nomura: Yes, that's right. He's a figure with a characteristic mood, and he calls Master Ira of Unicornis "Iracchi*", and Master Aced of Ursus "Acedon*" (laughs).
>>342000428
Autism
Why am I more hyped for 2.8 than I am FF 15?
>>342000732
Yeah, I thought it was weird for him to so casually drop that too. Most of the people who've been following Chi and Unchained x were waiting for an in game revelation though him being the Master of Masters was a fairly popular theory. Now I wonder who's the 6th Apprentice.
>>342000732
>Master Ira of Unicornis "Iracchi*", and Master Aced of Ursus "Acedon*"
I'm not too familiar with Japanese, what would these nicknames mean/equate to in English?
>>342000923
>>342000732
Nomura was probably drunk during the interview and accidentally revealed it. He's probably thinking "oh shit why did I do that". Another fun fact Nomura came up with Coded drunk as fuck and pitched the idea to Tabata (director of Final Fantasy XV) using a whiteboard
>>342000428
>>342001350
Both of you seem oddly entertained by the shit he does. Nomura's a weirdo drunk. It's been known for quite some time.
Do you think combat ready Kairi will be playable? I hope she has a ponytail.
Remind me why xboxfags are asking for ports when no one there plays these games?
>>342001682
Dont know. Its like Phantom Pain. Vast majority of sales came from play station.
>>341996425
>kh3d hd 60 fps
>kh 1.5 and 2.5 could ome to ps4 with 60 fps
What a time but my only issue is kh in 60 fps looks too floaty
>>342000791
Nomuraism, actually
>>342001575
Not today Ponytailfag. We all remember your autism.
>>342001575
>combat ready Kairi
I give her... two fights before jobbing. Against common heartless
>>342001682
IIRC KH3 was also announced for Xbone, so they might want the other ones on the system as well.
>>342002584
it'll flop on xbone. even SE knows this. same thing will happen with XV. xbone dude will buy it. play for 4 hours. and drop it/trade-in for another game
>>342002315
>Nomuraism
Perfect
>>342003340
>I have no clue (laughs)
This seems to be a pretty common Japanese dev response.
>>342003340
Because the concept of FF characters vs Disney characters is really crazy? Pretty sure thats why its so popular.
>>342003595
Nomura is a special case. He's autstic as fuck but he's so goddamn likable. This is probably my favorite "Nomuraism".
>Says people probably already know what's going to happen at E3 2013
>Final Fantasy Versus XIII makes an appearance out of no where after not being shown since 2011 AND becoming Final Fantasy XV
>Kingdom Hearts 3 out of fucking no where that NOBODY saw coming
I love Nomura
>>342004050
>I love Nomura
Me too anon. Me too.
>my copies of 1.5 and 2.5 arrive tomorrow
Time to get back into this crazy shit. Gonna preorder 2.8 soon too.
>>342004050
E3 2013 was one of the best E3.
>>342004493
Last year was better though
>>342002204
>KH 2 Final Mix 60fps WITH the remastered soundtrack
Nomura I will suck your cock
Anyone attended E3 to play the demo of 0.2?
Have Osaka team finally pulled their shit together and the combat isn't JUST-tier?
>tfw no kingdom hearts on PS Vita
>>342004050
>I love Nomura
Don't we all ?
I'm still salty XV wasn't finished by him
>>342004641
There are videos up of the demo if you'd like to watch and make that judgement yourself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc9WD1pxcJk
>>342004692
oh boo hoo hoo I don't have to play KH on shitty handhelds anymore this is just the worst :^)
>>342004836
Literally the worst video you could have chosen. Idiot has no idea what he's doing and never uses magic aside from curaga from the command menu
>>342004836
I saw that but I'm not entirely sure how it feels. On one hand the attacks are faster and enemies have proper hitstun.
On the other hand the combos are two of the same animations repeated twice leading into finisher
>>342005045
I did say "videos". That was just the first one I saw.
>>342004641
The combat in 0.2 is a mix between KH 2 and BBS. It looks great honestly. Enemies even stagger now. It's a great sign that Osaka got their shit together for KH 3
In other news, Aqua still manages to get that leg behind her head during Spellweaver.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQjf8d0yptg
>>342004797
XV was doomed the minute Nomura got booted from the project. With Nomura, I KNOW I'm in for a good fun game. With Tabata, I HOPE I'm in for a good fun game
>>342004797
From what I understand from the translation of his note in the Memorial Ultimania, he was salty too.
>>342004836
Here's one with less E3 noise, but same level of play
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkSnJlXeDKg&feature=youtu.be
>>342004836
>GameXplain
I usually like their videos but this one was bad. Aqua is a fucking mage which means she's a beast with magic yet all he does is just attack. This was a horrible example.
>>342004641
watch this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNJqpzjyTys
It's much better and this faggot is actually a Kingdom Hearts fanboy
>>342004879
FUCK YOU MAN
The PS Vita is comfy.
>>342005321
It's kind of amusing to me how liquid hordes of enemies in Days Gone just made me laugh at their out of place silliness, but this bizarre mass of heartless mooks looks good to me. Probably just different ways I look at the games. Days Gone was basically World War Z tier of "something trying this hard to be gritty shouldn't be looking this silly." Meanwhile we had giant hordes of keyblades way back in the teasers for BBS. Just par for the course with this series.
>>342005736
Yeah, I'm sure coffins are pretty comfy.
>>342005592
Is that a reorchestrated Night of Traged?
>>342004050
The 2 great visionaries of our time
>>342005470
Wouldn't you be? This was suppose to be your Final Fantasy game. Something you created and worked hard for. Then because of company fuck ups, your team has to go fix all the shit and then when things finally get back on track, you get booted from your own creation.
And on top of all that, he has to watch Tabata completely rape his creation. Not only is he raping it, but he's killed it and left it for dead in a ditch. I would be salty as fuck too
>>342006147
It's cool that they are best friends too and fun fact, Kojima actually told Nomura to make a Final Fantasy VII Remake one day when they were eating lunch
>>342006235
I mean I would be too, it's just a level of passion/anger that I've never heard from him before:
>Message from Tetsuya Nomura
>If I had to pick, I am a person more on the dark side like Xehanort and co., I harness the burning anger in my heart into what I create. Kingdom Hearts III’s current development explodes very much in this sense. Each time, it’s a battle with Sora and co. who are the exact opposite of myself, it’s been over 10 years and yet we haven’t reached a conclusion.
>This battle will surely last longer.
>In Kingdom Hearts III as well, I am scheming many challenges that Sora and his friends must overcome, because I myself cannot lose either. And in preparation for the great battle that lies ahead, we have this one book that looks back on their entire journey.
>When I think about it, I had an explosive mindset when I made the first Kingdom Hearts as well.
>Thus when I look back at all the material, I feel that fever again. Fans who will continue the journey so far alongside Sora and his friends will also recall their own feverish enthusiasm. With that passion, we will not lose to darkness, and Sora’s journey will continue onwards.
>The journey still continues, but I would be overjoyed if you stuck with us until the very end.
>http://sqex.info/message-on-kh3-from-tetsuya-nomura-kh-memorial-ultimania/
>>342001058
Acey
>>342006607
Oh, okay. Thanks anon.
>>342006691
Basically just cutesy or jokey versions of peoples names thus Aced would be something like Acey
>>341997613
Everyone in Back Cover looks fine until you see their full faces.
>>342007016
What's wrong with their faces?
DARKNESS WILL PREVAIL
>>342007249
AND THE LIGHT EXPIRE
>>342007016
I think Ephemera looks fine. Better than the smug face everyone in Chi and Unchained are stuck with.
>>342004050
Nomura is my favorite lunatic. I might be able to tolerate less and less of his nonsense as time goes on, but I want him to keep doing what he wants to.
>>342004797
The gameplay in this looks so much fucking better than what we have now.
You could also play as the other characters.
>>342007930
Whoops forgot link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiIx9VJWSl8
>>342007930
>>342008017
Guys, let's just stop here. Before HE comes. He's ruined KH threads with even less of a mention than this.
>>342007208
I can't fully explain it, but Ephemera just looks like a weird mix of Disney face (like in Big Hero 6) and Japanese Square-Enix face. It's a strange blend that I don't think quite works out. I'm sure it'll look fantastic for the Disney characters and enemies, but there's just enough of an uncanny quality to it.
>>342006235
>Then because of company fuck ups, your team has to go fix all the shit and then when things finally get back on track
Did they really have to pull damn near everyone to fix FFXIV?
>>342007535
Something about those faces always gave me "Family Guy made by Japan" vibes. It's the exact same type of resting smug-face, except in a different art style.
>>342008498
Well Kingdom Hearts is a weird mix of Disney and Square so that just means they did a good job
>>342008993
His face is really round. And I don't mean in the KH1 Sora way.
>>342008993
Don't get me wrong: I'm perfectly fine with the concept, but I just don't think the execution's all there.
DDD looks clean as fuck.
>>342009243
>>342009282
Do we know how old he is? His face looks kind chubby as if he was still a kid
I honestly think >>342009658
Looks better than >>342008993
>>342009658
Sora? He's 4 by the end of the game in BbS, 14 in KH1 and 15 in KH2.
>>342009890
I meant Emphemera but thanks I thought Sora was 16 for awhile.
>>342010052
A lot of people do but the games post KH2 in terms of timeline happen back to back pretty much though of course BbS/the Chi subseries are prequels and Days runs concurrent with CoM. And Nomura has pretty much said that it's Sora's KH3 outfit that's making him look a bit older but he's roughly around the same age.
Though it's possible he's around 16 now since we don't know his exact birthday.
>>342006235
Do you want to wait FFXV more? If its still directed by nomura, game will come out late 2017 in earliest case.
Look at KH3. its smaller project than FFXV but it got longer development than FFXV.
Director isnt nomura but still his core product.
I love nomura too but he is incompetence director at release pace.
>>342010415
>Look at KH3. its smaller project than FFXV but it got longer development than FFXV.
>Director isnt nomura but still his core product.
>I love nomura too but he is incompetence director at release pace.
What? KH3 really only started development in 2013 maybe later than that seeing as Nomura admitted that it got announced too early.
>>342010415
dumb frogposter
>>342010415
Versus took that long because Nomura had to go around helping other people finish their projects
Played 2 a long time ago on the ps2 but seeing all these kh threads makes me want to buy the hd versions for ps3. I might not sell the console yet.
>>342011067
it's better to emulate them if you have a gaming pc.
Let's remember the good times!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpYqFJxVuBc
>>342010415
The fuckery with the KH plot proves that Nomura is literally an idea guy. Don't get me wrong, a little of that is good, even crucial for a story-driven game like FF. However, I think it would've been best if he'd laid the ground work and Tabata just hashed out the details. I think the fact that they completely retooled the game to make it into a "true" "mainline" FF is where they screwed up.
It's kind of superficial but look at the trailers -- the early Versus ones looked like edgy shit "from the people who brought you Advent Children," the E3 2013 trailer when they first started changing direction was perfect, and every trailer since then has looked increasingly bland and design-by-committee.
>>342011205
What's the difference besides the money?
>>342012180
60fps, 1080p, mods(yes there are mods), better loading(kh remixes have awful load times, worse than ps2), better clors(remix washed out the screen), and that's it I think.
>>341996425
Jesus, just how many version-point-whatever-ultimate-this-time-we-swear remixes of the games are there at this late date? What the hell are you even supposed to play now to get the entire story thus far before III comes out?
>>342012437
I don't suppose it's possible to replace the original soundtrack with the new one?
>>342008903
Yes? Even with outsourcing, a fair amount of positions at SE flipflop between projects based on demand.
>>342012546
Why do people act like this is rocket science? There are 3 remixes which are HD releases/collections of the games. If you play all 3, 1.5, 2.5, and 2.8 you will be caught up for 3.
>>342012546
>What the hell are you even supposed to play now to get the entire story thus far before III comes out?
Everything
>>342012750
>Why do people act like this is rocket science?
>posts a pic with literally 35 games on it
>>342012546
All the decimal-numbered titles are just compilations of existing games. If you play 1.5 and 2.5 you'll be completely ready for 2.8 and 3.
1 and 2 are the only true core titles to Sora's story. CoM is plot-relevant and serves as a bridge between the two, but you can just read a summary for the most part and a lot of the threads end up getting discussed in 2 anyway.
BbS and X[chi] are prequels and provide history on the nature of keyblades, Kingdom Hearts, why all the wielders disappeared, who Xehanort really is, etc. These don't deal with Sora but they're extremely plot/exposition heavy. BbS in particular has literally been called equivalent to a mainline game by Nomura both in terms of gameplay and story. Chi is shaping up to be really important too but the cinematic included in 2.8 will probably be enough to cover you.
coded is a contrived plot device to bring all the stuff in BbS(and to a lesser extent X[chi]) into the main timeline/canon since a lot of stuff that happens in those titles seemingly contradicts stuff that happened in 1 and 2.
DDD is a continuation of coded and is basically the prelude to III from Sora's perspective. It's also the game where "I'm already half-Xehanort" comes from. In other words it's really stupid. You can probably get away with reading a plot summary for this.
Days is completely irrelevant sentimental bullshit but some people say the story is sad/moving
0.2, which is exclusive to the upcoming 2.8, is essentially Days except it does have some plot relevance and focuses on the aftermath of BbS and the bad end of one of the protagonists. Due to DARKNESS timey-wimey shenanigans, it spans the entire period between BbS(ten years before KH1) and KH III.
>>342012750
You really should redo this graphic to lead with the collections and get into all the version stuff after that
>>342012850
Read the pic.
>>342012905
>You really should redo this graphic to lead with the collections and get into all the version stuff after that
Tell that to KHfag, he made it.
>>342012750
Because its devoid of a basic and simple title scheme which makes it hard to know which game goes where and in which order to play them
Okay be honest guys, how do you unironically enjoy the stupidly convoluted story of this series? Anyone over the age of 14 would know that this shit is just ridiculous.
>>342013059
Release order always. That solves your problem right there. The games were set up that way.
>>341996425
There's no way that's the final UI for 0.2, right? I mean it just looks so weird and out place and unfinished.
>>342013137
I have fun with these games in both aspects of the gameplay and the weird story.
>>342013137
I don't enjoy it. I just want closure to what started out as a good story in 1 and 2 and STILL hasn't been resolved because Nomura keeps needlessly tacking on stupid shit to the plot.
Also the gameplay is pretty good, even the so-called shitty Osaka games. If it wasn't for that I'd probably have quit already.
>>342013137
It's nothing compared to my japanese animays and mangos senpai
>>342013137
After 10 games of this shit, I'm invested.
>>342013208
That's what everyone's hoping.
>>342013137
>wonder why people enjoy stupid silly shit
>posts a wrestling gif
>>342013137
I do honestly, everything in Kingdom Hearts is pretty tame compared to the stuff inBlazblue
>>341997613
Why are they still using these same black cloaks that are literally 12 years old?
>>342013602
We don't know.
>>342013137
Its not convoluted, its more long and tedious. They beat you over the head with the plot in every game.
>>342013602
>>342013703
They guard from the darkness when travelling in it or something like that.
>>342013602
Going by the in-universe chronology this is actually the first true use of the black coat. Nomura's undoubtedly going to retcon in some hidden "meaning" to the coats.
>>342013787
We know why they're used in the current storyline, I was assuming that anon was asking why they're being used in Chi/Unchained as it's seemingly an anachronism but it may have to do with the Sleeping world theory for those games.
>>342013885
Besides the one that they already have?
>>342013885
We got time travel now, all bets are off
>>341996425
I'm hoping the aesthetics for 0.2 are a work in progress because the weird lighting and lack of texture makes it look like early CG
>>342014202
Wait, they have a Spanish version of their channel?
>>342014202
It does look kind of weird. Maybe we just need to get used to it.
>>342014009
I don't know which proposition is worse, the idea that what used to literally be a throwaway placeholder will suddenly become plot-relevant, or that everything in the entire KH universe was part of Xehanort's muhahahevilplan all along.
>>342014359
I don't think it's that. The character models look terrible but the environments look completely fine.
>>341996425
>they will never port 1.5 and 2.5 to PS4 in 60 fps
>>342014359
>>342014556
The character models are objectively ugly as fuck in next-gen KH.
>>342014556
>>342014359
Whoops wrong pic.
>>342014202
>lack of texture
I know right!
>>342014556
>>342014678
We've yet to see the shader system in action, so I'll reserve my judgment until then.
>>342014778
what the fuck have I been looking at then
I think it must be their skin that puts me off more than anything
>>342014886
It clearly doesn't exist since they're releasing a game that looks like something straight out of UE3.
>>342014886
I kind of feel the same way but I'm getting a bit leery since they haven't mentioned it in a while.
>>342014717
Do the CGI faces in the bottom right bother anybody else? It looks tacky. I hope they change it to the classic 2D art.
>>342015013
It exists, but they're not using it for certain areas. Every disney world will have its own shader. KH3 is probably 1.5 years from release anyway. They might fix it.
>>342015103
I want the art back
>>342015103
Yeah, I feel like it has to be place holder.
>>342015103
Based on 0.2 using 3D models for it, I'm guessing we're stuck with it.
It might look better if Sora/Donald/Goofy's neutral face is cheery, like in KH1.
>>342015103
They probably won't at this point. Aqua's HUD had her 3D model too.
>>342014890
From what I can tell it's the low quality of youtube videos coupled with the shadows/low light environments obscuring details causing it to look weird. In this video I found on youtube the guy even comments on being able to see Aqua's pores during a close up at around 14:00
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEF5-UJXLB8
>>342015103
We've seen nothing but turbo alpha footage so far. Go watch the first trailer for KH1 to see what I mean.
So is Luxord going to be one of the 13 darknesses?
>one of the few remaining in KH2
>third last to die
>has the power of time manipulation, which seems to be a big thing for all the Xehanorts
Need mah nigga to come back.
>>342015745
There's actually a theory about him being connected to the sixth apprentice/master of masters and possibly an opponent of Xehanort.
>>342015175
It doesn't exist. They're using UE4.
I want to have children with Aqua!
>>342016462
>>342016462
Why do you guys do this constantly in every fucking thread? It's bad enough that you spam the general with this shit.
>>342016462

I'm going to say something retarded!
trend come from. I can't think of a worst trend other than todd posting.
>>342016052
I guess whatever way he comes back, I'll be happy. He was the most enjoyable Org XIII member for me, so I am hoping he's coming back.
>>342016985
>I can't think of a worst trend other than todd posting
YOU TAKE THAT BACK
>>342016396
>I don't know what a shader is
>>342016985
Fuck you todd posting is funny
>>342014778
>>342014890
>>342015352
KH characters are anime styled, they shouldn't have any shadows casted on their faces and certainly they shouldn't have subsurface scattering or whatever cuases the outline of their skin to look brighter.
>>342017181
>he thinks shaders justwerk when ported between engines
They never had the shader developed to begin with.
>>342017790
>>342017091
There is no humor in todd posting. It's garbage.
If you actually think its funny and aren't baiting i urge you to get off 4chan and do anything productive.
>>342017936
>They never had the shader developed to begin with
Even better, the porting issue you mentioned isn't even relevant in that case.
