http://www.khinsider.com/news/Famitsu-Interviews-Nomura-on-KINGDOM-HEARTS-3-HD-2-8-FCP-Unchained-X-6667
>—It was extremely fresh seeing Ephemera and the Foretellers in CG with voice acting in KHχ Back Cover.
Nomura: Just like KH0.2, it uses techniques from KH3. You can go ahead and think of KH3's cutscenes as looking pretty much like that.
OH MY GOD . My hype for KH 3 just went through the fucking roof. KH X Back Cover looks fucking gorgeous. Nomura can literally do no wrongStill wish he was in charge of Final Fantasy XV[/spoilers] Anyways, KH thread. Hyped for 2.8 and 3? Also seems like Osaka Team got their shit together too.
Only thing that will ruin Kingdom Hearts 3 is if Utada doesn't do the theme song. That's honestly a deal breaker.
>>343452601
I'm liking what I've seen from the 2.8 E3 demo. Overall, I'm generally optimistic.
OP again. I apologize every one. I really fucked up the spoiler tags. But damn KH 3 is going to be fucking quality. Back Cover looks beyond gorgeous. I can not wait to see the quality cutscenes in KH 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPoQw2J177c
The player shading looks terrible and the animations of the characters is inconsistent with the world, it looks like they're floating on the environment.
>>343453545
That's the first time I've seen that said about it.
>>343454030
Then you don't come to KH threads.
>>343454125
Can't be everywhere at once anon.
>>343453545
>it looks like they're floating on the environment
Can you post a screenshot as an example?
>>343452601
who plays this shit
>>343454262
Plenty of people.
>>343454250
I would have to make a webm. Watch the trailer with aqua running around and pay attention to her feet. You can see it in the KH3 trailers too. It just lacks polish, it looks like a fan-made game when it comes to that.
And the character shading is really bad, that's why all the characters look weird.
>>343454514
Do you mean how it looks like he's sliding with her animations too slow for her movement speed?
>>343454657
she's*
>>343454657
Too fast.
>>343452601
The only way it could be a deal breaker is by:
>visiting old worlds again like 2, OC is fine due to tournaments
>Have less content in general in comparison to 2FM
>Having a shitty battle system like their handheld games
What do you guys really want to see from Kingdom Hearts III and what is your favorite moments from the previous games?
How did they do it, /v/? Kingdom Hearts 1 has held up really well. The gameplay still feels good and the game looks nice in HD for being a 14 year old game.
Okay let's get this shit started
Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix > Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix > Re:Coded >Chain of Memories > Birth by Sleep Final Mix > Dream Drop Distance > Re:Chain of Memories > Unchained x > 358/2 Days
>>343454824
From what I saw she had a jogging animation but her actual movement speed was closer to a sprint.
>>343454860
>visiting old worlds again like 2, OC is fine due to tournaments
I'm guessing you haven't seen OC yet? It's way bigger and it looks like you'll be going up Olympus at some point like in the movie.
>Have less content in general in comparison to 2FM
According to Nomura KH3 is "overwhelmingly big" but we'll have to see.
>Having a shitty battle system like their handheld games
KH3 has been confirmed to be Command Menu from the beginning, while it may take some elements from the handheld games it will still play like 1 and 2 at the core.
>>343455176
https://youtu.be/l1Vc-RNUu0Q?t=70 watch this part and see how she glides over the ground, it looks terrible. And the character sticks out of the environment like a sore thumb because the shading is so awful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPoQw2J177c
This trailer is weird too since DDD's characters look a lot better than the KH3 style. It's subjective but the shading is really ugly in my opinion. They're charging the art style so much.
>>343454860
>>343455183
The game already has cancer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2gC0UzCffw
Pess F for respects.
>>343454860
>visiting old worlds again like 2
Literally every world will either be brand new (Big Hero 6, Tangled, Zootopia), which will be the majority, or a returning world that could have been expanded on in previous games, but wasn't (Mount Olympus).
>Have less content in general in comparison to 2FM
If I remember correctly, there will be twice as many worlds than previous games, whose lengths and sizes exceeds those of previous games.
>Having a shitty battle system like their handheld games
The Kingdom Hearts II battle system is returning, but some elements from Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance will be included.
>>343455673
Look ma! I posted it again!
Did anybody take the survey? I made it my point that the AP cost is WAY too fucking much. It's ridiculous. The only time I was able to progress through the game was when AP cost was only 1. It's ridiciolous. Plus I said the game is too grindy and requires way too much time and effort to even get somewhat decent shit AND the prices for Jewels is absurd. I have to spend 3000 Jewels to even try to get good medals and in order to unlock everything to do I have to pay $15 a week? Fuck that.
I love the game. It's very addicting but the AP, the grinding and the microtransactions are horrible. This isn't shit Nomura does. This seems more like Square and Disney wanting to jew out KH fans because they know he would eat this shit up
>>343455727
50 AP for the advanced 3D quest is absolutely ridiculous. I have 132 AP and that still takes a good chunk out of it, and it doesn't help some of the newer storyline quests cost 20 AP.
>>343452601
uhhh, the problem is those Unchained X cutscenes look nothing like the footage we've seen of KH3 so far, it doesn't even look like the playable Aqua bit they made in KH3 engine.i wonder what hackers will dig up for TCRF, maybe some leftover assets for KH3
>>343455183
>>343455708
Why are you pretending any of this is true? You're literally making it up.
>>343456139
We have interview confirmations for them and video evidence. Come on nigga.
>>343455571
That's what I'm fucking talking about, her animations aren't in sync with her movement speed
They probably copied her BbS animations and haven't adjusted for the faster movement speed
The same thing happens with Goofy in the Jump Festa trailer where it looks like he's taking a leisure stroll at the same speed as Sora's sprinting
Fucking hell mate are you dense or something
>>343455727
I've began playing Unchained x today and holy fuck this is so addicting, but I can already with how the medals work and shit that this game will definitely jew out the fans, no doubt about.
I cant belive how fun the gameplay is and I was not expecting daybreak town being this nice and comfy.
Pretty good so far.I'm level 20, when will it start getting ridiculous like you said?
>>343456139
>Why are you pretending any of this is true?
Because it is.
>You're literally making it up.
But, we aren't. I'm not going to look through a shit ton of articles for some literally who on the internet, but you can find evidence to support our claims on KHinsider.
>>343456330
The 300s are 20 AP. The Advanced 3D event is 50AP.
>>343456485
... Seems legit.
>>343456643
Oh it's kind of shitty.
>>343456330
Around the mid to late 200s is when AP cost start to get around 15 -19. In the 300s AP missions are fucking 20+. Events and other Special missions can be more than 30 - 50+
And once you run out of AP, you have 4 options. Either wait until your AP restores (You get 1 AP every 5 minutes), use 100 Jewels to fully restore your AP, Pray to God that you level up to fully restore AP or give in to the jews and Square/Disney and buy more Jewels (100 Jewels is $0.99, 540 Jewels is $5.00.
>>343456320
Well you said she was moving slower than her animation, I said she was moving faster. Her BBS animation is completely different and it looks fine.
>Fucking hell mate are you dense or something
What? Do you even know what we're talking about?
>>343457127
So you're just lacking in reading comprehension, alright mate
>>343457237
>From what I saw she had a jogging animation but her actual movement speed was closer to a sprint.
Wrong in every way it could be. What's with your damage control?
>>343457352
Seriously mate, what did I mean by that? Could you explain it to me?
she's gonna have a mental breakdown isn't she?
>>343452601
someday i guess we will have to accept that nomura will never make another game as good as KH2
>>343458186
It's already begun.
>>343458186
By the end of the demo she seemed pretty okay but that was just part of the game. She may crash later on.
>>343456127
>datamining ps4 game
Not in the near future. Models from 1.5/2.5 have hardly been attempted to be ripped.
Will never be topped. Osaka Team will still somehow someway find a way to fuck up Kingdom Hearts 3
>>343458186
She will go nuts, but I think that by the end (the part where she meets Ansem in the shores of the dark realm), Aqua is already much stronger and darkness no longer affect her like it would normally affect her, I think by the time she comes back to the realm of light she will be fine.
On another hand I cant wait to see Aqua again, shes so cute!
>>343458520
k. Personally I'd rather wait until I get the game in my hands before crying foul but you do you anon.
>>343458518
shame. all these overly complex data forms are stifling new content for tcrf.
>>343452601
I am hyped and worried
I want to play next gen kh in 0.2, i also really want to play KHDDD having never had a 3ds
But im worried the story and gameplay will suck like the last few games
>>343454514
Oh yeah aqua is super sliding around and it looks like her running controls weird, like her models rotation point is behind the model.
She looks like she controls like a car
>>343458797
>he doesnt know about ''I'm already half....'' and ''thats nuts''
Oh yes, KHDDD is the pinnacle of storytelling, the story comes together nicely and it wraps things up in a cohesive way for KH3Poor guy
>>343455673
I think BBS sucks ass
So i am worried its being made by those people
>>343459086
Can somebody explain why the "I'm already half Xehanort" scene gets brought up so much? I must be the only one who wasn't bothered by it at all
>>343459665
Its more of a meme than anything else, they wait Braig said that was so dramatic and then Sora goes like ''Thats nuts!''
Honestly, I think Sora's reaction really is well done specially with us knowing how Sora is.
I liked it, felt genuine.
>>343459847
the way*
I should go to bed.
>>343459665
My reactions for "nuts" was positive, but
> gets brought up so much?
It's just like what King Mickey said: Whatever Sora, Riku and the TAV trio worked hard to accomplish is nothing more than a minor inconvenience for
>The real purpose of Orgy13 is to fill a bunch of hollow shells with Xehanort's Heart
>Do u really like being filled with Xehanort's heart?
>Me? ... Half Xehanort!!
>Nuts
>>343459665
>>343459847
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIe6qn4JZrw
So this... is the power... of the PS4...
>>343460496
>no more flatface
thank God
>>343460496
Are you trying to say left looks worse?
>>343460496
Left looks weird to me, but then I've spent a decade looking at the old models. I'm sure I'll get used to it once I see it in motion properly, though.
>>343460496
They have messed up soras face
>>343460496
That's great no more retarded fish face in KH 3
>>343460618
Not gonna lie, I'm gonna miss it a little. Remember how Saix had flatface for 90% of the time he was shown in Kingdom Hearts II?
>>343461097
I like Saix a lot as a character but I agree that it looks real bad on him. He looks like a cross-eyed cat.
>>343461036
I always though that the fish faces added a certain charm to the game, along with the exaggerated hand gestures.
I wonder how much more broken Sora will be in Kingdom Hearts III. The kid is literally a God.
>>343458518
Because nobody cares. There's no difference between PS4 disks and anything else.
>>343455067
Switch 1 and 2, then it's perfect.
>>343461469
>1
>better than 2
>when 2 literally fixes everything wrong with one
>>343461298
Basically every drive form combined and then some
>>343461564
2's writing turns to shit once you take control of Sora, the level design isn't as good, and the game doesn't really open up until you reach Space Paranoids.
>>343455067
But, that's wrong, anon.
Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix > Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix > Birth By Sleep Final Mix > Dream Drop Distance > Re: Coded > Re: Chain of Memories > X > Chain of Memories > 358/2 Days
>>343461780
>the level design isn't as good
Literally what does KH Final Mix have that tops
>Cavern of Remembrance
>Hollow Bastion
>The World That Never Was
Hell, Agrabah, Halloween Town, and Olympus Coliseum in KH2 are far superior to their KH1 counterparts.
When will they fuck?
It's basically canon at this point.
>>343461780
I will admit 2 story/writing is shit compared to one but that's the only thing 1 got right over 2.
The gameplay in 2 is WAY better than 1. This is really not up for debate. 1's combat is slower, sluggish and feels too floaty. Magic is decent in 1 but magic is much better in 2. It can now be used in your combos. 2's gameplay is fast paced, action packed and just all around cool as fuck.
The level design is actually better in 2 than 1. 1 tried to do platforming and it was awful. Awkward camera angles and sometimes Sora would just miss the mark completely. It wasn't fun to play as. The Cavern of Rememberance in KH 2 did platforming better than the entirety of KH 1
And KH 2 really opens up when you get the first Drive Form. That's really when the game truly starts. Everything else is basically just a tutorial .
Not bashing KH 1 at all. In fact I love the game but 2 was just overall more fun and enjoyable and one of the times where a sequel expanded on the gameplay and did everything right
>>343462413
Sometimes I can't tell if you fucks are serious with questions like this.
>Following KH past 2
>>343462413
>implying Sora isn't going to fuck Riku instead.
After Dream Drop Distance, I've given up on Sora and Kairi fucking. He's way too gay for Riku at this point.
>>343462413
Never.
Sora is friendship sexual. He will friendzone Kairi if she tries anything.
You people forget that Sora gains strength literally through the power of friendship, fucking a girl won't give him a power up, but being friends with her will.
>>343462185
You realise that with the expception of the Cavern of Remembrance, all the worlds in the game are linear tracks with a handful of branches and no verticality. There are barelyany secrets to find.
The first game went for Metriodvania style worlds that were more interesting to explore.
>>343462525
>Sometimes I can't tell if you fucks are serious with questions like this.
Sometimes I can't tell if you fucks really take these questions seriously.
>>343462613
And your point is?
Will they release this on steam? I mean Nier and Star Ocean are pretty much confirmed at that point, looks like they realized that exclusives can suck a dick.
>>343462695
Sometimes I can't tell if you fuck.
I want to be excited but I barely know a thing about the story since 2. All I know is what I casually read posted here and what I gather is there is timetravel and everyone is someone else
>>343462720
Probably not.
>>343462720
And of course it wouldn't be a KH thread without someone asking about PC.
>>343462720
KH games won't even release on PSN so there is no way in hell it will release on PC
>>343462823
Anything you want to know?
>>343462823
>what I gather is there is timetravel and everyone is someone else
Oh bro, try to play the other games if you can, they are needed in order to play 3 and they can be enjoyable to play if you dont take things too seriously.
>>343462676
That certainly is true. The worlds in Kingdom Hearts weren't as linear as the world's in Kingdom Hearts II, but they were pretty small in comparison to the world's in Kingdom Hearts II.
From the looks of things, Kingdom Hearts III worlds will be just as big as Kingdom Hearts II worlds, but with far less linear structure.
>>343462901
PC is more than digital only, you know? Also microsoft will probably strike a deal with xbox play anywhere.
>Literally EVERY single Keyblade Wielder in Unchained will die horribly in the Keyblade War
>This will include your avatar
>There is absolutely nothing that can stop literally thousands of people getting killed in the war because it's destined to happen and you can't changed what is destined to happen
>The Foretellers all know everybody will die and there is nothing they can do about it
Unchained went from fluffy, light-hearted, cute, fairytale to dark as fuck massive bloodbath. Did Nomura intentionally make the game look all light-hearted and cute to throw everybody off when shit gets real?
>>343463123
Not him but, you do know that KH3 worlds are way way bigger than KH2 worlds, heck, they are maybe even 2 or 3 KH2 worlds just look at the olympus coliseum.
>>343463489
>Literally EVERY single Keyblade Wielder in Unchained will die horribly in the Keyblade War
>>The Foretellers all know everybody will die and there is nothing they can do about it
Ava is trying to save some people, her "Dandelions".
>>343463489
I think he had mobile in mind when he first made X but on another note, have you heard about Ux being a simulation?
It might be weird but it seems very plausible, take a look here, its worth it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sE2KcTFaZg
>>343462823
>I barely know a thing about the story since 2
There's an old man character named Xehanort, he's the main villain. Every other villain is Xehanort too though, including the young Xehanort who traveled through time and the cross bow wielding man Xigbar who is half-Xehanort, as well as Ansem who is Xehanort's heartless or something I don't remember (But that Ansem isn't actually the real Ansem)
All these Xehanort's will combine their power and do battle against the side of light which includes Sora and his friends.
This battle will do something, if you want to know why Xehanort is causing all this that is actually the simplest part of the story.
He just wants to see what will happen.
>>343463517
Nice low res image faggot
>>343463517
This seems like one of those game ideas that goes out the window when deadlines come up. Like, how can you have worlds that are not only way bigger than before, but also many more worlds than previous games, and also they're all new, no repeats?
>>343463601
Apparently that bitch didn't do such a good job. The death count is in the thousands
>>343463517
Yeah, I know. What I said was a big understatement.I really, really can't wait to see what Zootopia and Big Hero 6 will look like.
>>343463675
That's pretty much be established for a while anon. Heck the recent story update has Ephemer(a) say that this is his theory. There's also sleeping world elements considering how Chirihty is a Dream Eater.
>>343463769
Because the last time we had a mainline KH it was on PS2? The new gen console aren't PC tier but they're stronger than the fucking PS2 and can handle bigger worlds.
For the "All new" thing, the game has been in development for a while, I wouldn't be surprised if they could pull that off.
>>343463675
Well considering the cat is a dream eater, and the foretellers are sending everyone to illusion worlds ots obvious somethings going on.
>>343463850
>>343463924
Really? I'm still in the early misssions, I had no idea, thats pretty cool.I think the ruse cruise just got crazier
>>343463517
That worries me personally.
MGSV and modern Ubisoft games should tell you why massive worlds aren't always a good thing.
>>343464084
Yeah it's been a thing for a while, remember Chi has been going on for almost 3 years now and will end in September while JP Unchained X has been going on since last year and is ahead of us. The fact that we're getting two storyline updates a month is to catch us up to JP. And then there's other characters who have to be introduced, like Skuld here.
>>343458249
I've not played it, but isn't TWEWY meant to be just as good?

I swear drive-by shitposting is getting worse and worse.
>>343464775
I'm serious, tho. These things are essential to modern games.
I want to be able to suck dicks, even if i have no intention of doing so.
I want more freedom in my games, anon.
>>343465014
>These things are essential to modern games.
Maybe western gaming
>>343465014
They are definitely not essential. Especially not in KH which hasn't been known for things like that and you knew that.
>>343465014
Call of Duty and Battlefield don't have character creators, romance, or sodomy, but they sell just fine.
>>343462720
You should know they can't release digitally at all, and physical games don't do too good on PC.It's the reason i'll get a PS4 later this year.
>>343464467
TWEWY is a top tier touch screen RPG but I don't know if it has much competition.
Kairi > Aqua
Yes I said it fuck you fuck all yall fuck you
>>343465970
Lies, stop lying.But I cant wait to see Kairi in KH3 hhhnngg she must be qt3.14
>>343466265
We have an idea from 2.8's opener that was shown at D23 Japan last year, though she's still in her KH2 outfit so far.
KH3 is looking gud, also HDDD is making my dick hard.
>>343458186
And it will be glorious.
>>343466360
I want to believe that that is some very early WIP, that looks really bad, I never liked it and never will, I hope they can make the characters look real instead of clay dolls.
>>343466756
Going by the 2.8 banner at E3 it looks like they may have already fixed Mickey's face.
What does /v/ think of him?
>>343458797
desu if you've seen footage of the 0.2 demo from E3, i can't imagine it being much more than that, but for an hour or 2.
>>343467716
I'm neutral on him. He favoritism that is clearly shown towards him sometimes grinds on my nerves. And his getting a keyblade irritated me.
>>343467716
I like his character, his personality is cool but I hate how he is clearly favored by being a fan favorite, the guy has ''''''died''''''' come back to life, got a keyblade.
Also, some people dont like how Axel went from a crazy badass fucker in COM to a big brother in Days and 2, he changed so he could fit Nomura's ideas.
But in the end I like this dude.
>>343467871
There was no fucking reason to give Lea a Keyblade. No fucking reason at all. Nomura went full retard at this point
>>343466528
>sudden erection
I'm ready
>>343454514
nah.
>>343468387
yah.
>>343468236
I mean there is ultimately a reason because they need to fill out the roster for the Lights but I just find it so dumb.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZGNGnC2QtA
Who else /nostalgic/ when listening to this?
I still think its the best twilight town theme.
>>343453354
it looks very average and below standard graphical fidelity compared to western games. i hope kh3 look substantially better
>>343468448
>Mickey has a keyblade
>Sora has one
>Riku too
>also Kairi
>Lea gets one
it's not super shocking, almost all of the good guys who aren't party members have keyblades now.
the new org is gonna have some too
>>343468419
nope.
>>343468764
I didn't say it was shocking. I acknowledge why he has to have one, I just don't like it.
>>343459665
If Xehanort needed Organization 13 because they had no hearts, why did he suddenly decide to use people with hearts?
>>343466360
Where did you find the ps2 counterpart image?
>>343468448
Lea will be Norted, I'm pretty sure.
minute 1:00
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-SDqhDUfZk
Where did the Xehanort's heart fragment go to?
I think this was planned all along and now Lea has a sleeping fragment inside of him.
>>343468905
He presumably wanted to go after them Org members because they all started off with no hearts, barring Roxas who had one from the start, because it looks like it would be easier to take over. Have you watched Blank Points/played through BbS? He can take over people with Hearts but notably in that secret ending/game Terra is giving him shit over control of the body.
>>343468946
Some one posted it from around D23 Japan. I don't have the original source sorry.
>>343468996
Ehh, I disagree just a bit.
>>343468236
Yen Sid was smart and is using Lea as a backup just in case one of the other lights get fucked.
>>343452601
OP, your pic looks like a black penis from the thumbnail.
>>343469332
Maybe you just BBC on the mind?
>>343457006
Well it was 1AP for like 2 weeks or so.
>>343468845
yup
>>343469214
Where do you disagree? Let us debate maybe?
I think Nomura is going to fuck us with the ''I promise to protect my friends'' thing from Days and Lea will end up being Norted and then somehow sacrificing himself for Ventus or Sora.
Just a theory tho, but I can see something like that happening.
>>343469609
When the game first came out in NA it was half AP for like a month.
>>343470000
I disagree mainly because of his development. He's escaped "death" earlier than what he was supposed to in two different instances because of his popularity. His receiving of a keyblade after returning to being a Somebody along with his development over the course of Days just makes me believe that he's pretty much solidified his place on Team Light. I see other people ahead of him in case of 'Norting.
>>343470345
I can understand that, but I dont know... with the foretellers and everything, I dont think Lea is fated to be one of the Lights, I have a feeling he is going to get fucked over, he escaped death already and I can see him doing a ''farewell buddy'' style of goodbye.
We'll have to wait, next thing we know Pooh is getting norted.
>>343453545
I agree, but I feel like it's an attempt to make Sora fit in better with the new-disney cg movies that will probably be the majority of the game's worlds.
Donald and Goofy especially look like absolute shit however.
>>343455708
>some elements from Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance will be included
I hope this is flowmotion and literally nothing else, 2FM gameplay is literally perfect and doesn't need any command-deck bullshit messing it up.

Shotlocks and keyblade transformations are also coming back, which is a good thing since they're both cool as fuck.

If they can't do a new song. I wouldn't mind a clean remix of Sanctuary and Simple and Clean.

What's that one world you have fingers crossed for /v/?

I'd totally forgotten about this but I agree, showing that in cutscenes was one massive cocktease.
>>343471270
No it isn't, where would you even get that idea?
>>343474579
Well I was referring to the shading rather than the animation but don't see what there isn't to get.
In previous games Sora had more of a cel shaded look with brighter colors and less of a lighting gradient so that he'd look like more of a 2d cartoon character in order to fit in with the worlds from 2d disney movies. The 3d movies that will be featured in 3 are have more realistic lighting so the developers tried recreate that.
Obviously every character in the game is subject to the same lighting engine to every character looks like this.
>>343475542
They quite literally didn't try to recreat anything, the characters barely have any shading at all now and it doesn't fit in with anything we've seen.
>>343475789
I'm not saying it was a successful attempt, just an attempt. I don't see any other reason why they'd so drastically change the shading when it's been just fine in previous games.
>>343476146

As much as people like that KH3 might be bigger, TPP left me scarred of normal games trying to ape open world, I really hope they just made each area bit bigger instead of just making a single giant area for each world
>>343479572
Well the areas are still section offed from what I can understand
>>343468448
Eh, after Kairi pulled a keyblade out of her ass I stopped caring who used one, I'm honestly surprised Xigbar didn't get one when he became another Xehanort
>>343479572
It doesn't look quite "open world" in the sense that it's fallen for the meme since it's still visibly linear. It's more like they just joined all the small linear areas together.
Can't remember if it was mention in the game's but did any of them explain why xigbar is even helping xehanort out.
>>343480161

>metroidvania
>leave lazy trinity marks that magically spit out mostly useless items once you reach a certain point in the story
>make you backtrack across 11 worlds and tons of loading time
If it's a metroidvania then it is a pretty lazy attempt at one. Metroidvanias are good when you unlock new areas from your new abilities, or failing that, when the flow of the game is such that you'll get another shot at most of those items that were out-of-reach without going too much out of your way. A Metroid Prime fetch quest at the end of the game is an inelegant way to do this, but it works.
KH1's level design is quite overrated by its fans. It's just decent. Not great, not KH2-bad, just decent. It's certainly no Metroid Prime or Undead Burg by any means. Sure it's better than KH2, but if you honestly think that KH1 is better than KH2 on account of its average level design then you're just looking for an arbitrary reason to like KH1 better. Worse button mashing combat (besides Sephiroth) than vanilla KH2 and a far-inferior boss roster to 2.

What I like more about KH1 than KH2 is that KH1 is a bit more straight-forward in it's goals.
Encounters in KH1 are pretty basic. Beat enemies, beat this boss, get through this area, etc.
KH2 gets a little wacky. It's got better combat, but they usually have you doing something really stupid with it.

>But Cogsworth is there and makes you do an RC to stun him, and it's mandatory

The game feels like it wastes a lot of time on gimmicks when it's already got a superbly competent battle system. They should have spent more time making enemies fun to fight and less time on gimmicks.
>>343480812

>>343483639
Agreed, a lot of the non-Org XIII bosses aren't that fun to fight against, especially when compared to data battles

>>343484697

I hope DDD, has a better item drop and synthesis system for the pokemon bullshit.
They pretty much HAVE to change the core mechanics of this right?
>Kingdom Hearts 2.8: Birth By Sleep: A Fragmentary Passage Re: Part 1 of 356/2X3X Final Mix HD+
>>343484796
But the synthesis was easy, and farming materials was absolutely no problem at all, Star Rank Dream Eaters are by far one of the easiest things to get, I don't see how you have a problem with it. There's even guides on how to do it using the least amount of materials as possible if you want though it requires a bit of savescumming. LP and Star rank are the things that don't really need to be tweaked, it's the AP that needs heavy tweaking as even after 10+ hours you won't max out a single Dream Eater's affinity unless you have a bunch of Water Barrels/Balloons and that only gets them from like 7-10 if you have 99.

Japan doesn't know shit about Unreal.
>>343486921
All the Luminous team is currently working on XV. They'd have to train the KH3 team on Luminous, which means time and resources.
Just because two people work on different teams in the same company doesn't mean they have the same knowledge.
>>343487014
I don't understand what you're trying to say.
>>343482109
>posting a pre-rendered trailer
Why don't you post the actual pre-alpha footage from 2013?
>>343487113
Assuming the KH3 team doesn't already know how to use Unreal, the KH3 team doesn't know how Luminous works either.
But Unreal is better documented, and they don't need to take away manpower from XV to teach fags.
>>343486921
Japan doesn't know shit about programming in general. Remember when weeks said FOX was one of the best engines ever made?
Japan is a fucking joke
What is Back Cover? Just a bunch of cutscenes?
>>343487263
I don't know what Luminous is or why they would need to use it. They know how to use the other KH engines.
Nomura already said they don't know how to shade the characters using Unreal and the movement being off isn't convincing me that they're using Unreal properly.
>>343487343
That's really not true. Even FOX as bad as it was produced P.T. and the pre-release MGSV stuff which looked really cool.
>>343482109
100% of all footage we saw in Luminous was pre-rendered.
>>343488737
That has absolutely nothing to do with the model.
>>343488871
Except that KHII's pre-rendered scenes looked wildly different from things rendered live.
Why you think that Luminous KHIII would have looked anything like that in gameplay simply confounds me
I swear to you the UE4 footage is much closer to what Luminous would have looked like.
Hell, we see Luminous in action in FFXV and it does not look like KHIII's initial teaser. Even accounting for art style, it simply doesn't have that fidelity.
>>343482109
None of what we saw with Luminous was anything other than being pre-rendered. I'd hardly call it a loss since we never saw anything actually in-game.
>>343486921
>the one you know how to use
But they didn't know how to use it. The team had never used Luminous before.
You remember that it was created for FFXV, right?
And all of the Luminous devs got put on XV so there was absolutely nobody to help the KHIII team learn how to use this engine that literally only the Luminous and XV devs knew how to use.
>>343489070
>you
I'm not the other guy. Just saying that the new model looks bad.
>>343489209
Why are you talking about Luminous? I'm talking about the one they know how to use.
>>343489986
It doesn't look bad, though.
Worse than that pre-rendered model, sure.
But you may as well say that in-game KHII Sora looks worse than this.
>>343490081
You don't want them to keep using the same engine forever.
>>343490081
>Why are you talking about Luminous?
Because KHIII started development using Luminous. That's what they changed from. It was intended, originally, to run on Luminous.
>the one they know how to use
Which one?
The engines for KHII or DDD? Made to run much lower-fidelity assets in smaller worlds? Like, what engine are you talking about?
>>343490187
It looks god awful.
>>343490335
Why? There was nothing wrong with it.
>>343490336
You can upgrade your engine for a new platform. Just look at Bethesda and Capcom.
FINAL BOSS FUCKING LEAKED
>>343490863
>Just look at Bethesda
Bethesda is a prime example of why it's a good thing to try new engines out and use them instead of stretching older ones over a long period of time.
>>343490863
Capcom is using UE4 for SF5, what's your point?
>>343490767
I see you have a Master's in hyperbole
>>343490863
>Just look at Bethesda
That's...
That's not who I would choose as an example.
And reminder that KHIII is developed by Osaka, who worked on Re:CoM, BbS and DDD.
Say they decide to upgrade the DDD engine, which was running on the fucking 3DS.
Imagine the work that would go into upgrading that engine.
They may as well be making a new one
OR they could save time and money and use existing engines.
>>343491012
Not really since Morrowind's engine is pure shit and Fallout 4 is up to modern standards.
Not to mention the engine they use is better than anything Square Enix is using.
