Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue & Kingdom Hearts III trailer shown at Jump Festa 2016

This trailer was awesome, but if they think that this will compensate for not releasing unchained X in the U.S. at this time then their wrong and I will not be satisfied with them releasing it in 2016, because they promised it would be 2015's game

You wanna hear the funniest story ever? 

 

Okay, so here goes!  Last night, when I saw that no trailers for 2.8 or KHIII were being shown, I was like: "Welp, I'm gonna go sleep, so I'll just watch the trailers tomorrow!"

 

But then, I decide to check on this site a few minutes later, and what do I find?  This amazing trailer of 2.8 and Kingdom Hearts III!  God, I got so excited and fanboyed like crazy, and I just got so much more hyped for 2.8!  Damn, the Kingdom Shader is a really impressive engine, although Mickey looks kinda weird!  Maybe it's just me. X3  But yeah, the hype is on for 2.8, and I hope it gets a release date soon! X_X

 

And when it comes to Kingdom Hearts III, boy was I blown away!  The trailer showcased such amazing and gorgeous gameplay, and I loved every single aspect of it!  The spells at work sure do look realistic, and I love how the environment reacts to Sora's movement! AND THOSE NOBODIES, OMG!!!!  THEY HAD MARLUXIA'S SCYTHE!!! And omg, that moment when he shotlocked all those Heartless and then went on a Flowmotion frenzy was just insane!  I was like: "Hoo, son, that's one powerful mother lover!"  And then when Sora fell on the water,(Which looks impressive, by the way.) he was slipping on the water!  That was very impressive!  Ugh, I loved everything about the trailer! X_X

 

While I was sad we didn't get a release date for 2.8 or a bit of story content from Kingdom Hearts III, I'm still very happy with the trailer we got, because it was simply amazing!!!

 

GAHHH, I AM SO HAPPY!

0.2, I pray to God that those blocky weird looking character models for Yen Sid and Mickey are just the "early development" ones because they look awful. Riku and Kairi didn't look "too" bad but Kairi's hands are massive. There is definitely room for improvement. Dream Drop Distance honestly looks even more gorgeous on an actual console and I can't wait to see how "flow motion" is incorporated for the PS4. Speaking of, I spotted some heavy flow motion in the new (Kingdom Hearts III) footage, I'm honestly even more excited to play it now after seeing how Sora can interact with the environment. That scene where he slides in the river was awesome. At first I wasn't too keen on the new character model for Sora or his new clothes and haircut, but it's really grown on me now and judging by the way the footage is set up we will still be able to play with our KH2 Sora for a while before he inevitably shows the mark of mastery and gets his new duds, powers, and hair cut. I went in not expecting much of anything good from Osaka and I'm not going to lie and say I'm not still a bit "concerned" about it being developed by them, but based on what I'm seeing so far. I may have to start having a bit more confidence in their work.

God, I hope so. I've heard about the Rebirth Theory and I personally hate it. I don't like this whole...reincarnation thing going on because it just makes these characters less interesting in my eyes, especially for TAVRK. To dump this reincarnation bullsh** on them is to make them more uninteresting, knowing that they have to go through a goddang never-ending cycle of life and death, over and over again. 

 

It's like Naruto and Legend of Zelda all over again (Except that Legend of Zelda is all good with the reincarnation concept).

 

 

that doesnt make seense to have new vocie actors if the color schenes match the tav and kairi and riku then

Well gosoxtim, unlike you, I can speak Japanese and can tell apart their voices, they are new voices. 

 

GGDude, you're entitled to your opinion, but I personally think a cycle of life and death makes it more interesting and emotional, and it's a common theme in Japanese storytelling and spirituality. Heaven forbid a Japanese developer takes inspiration from their own culture /sarcasm

Wow, that was AWESOME!!! Everything looks spectacular! Even 3D! Sora's Keyblade is finally fully 3-Dimensional, no more pointy teeth!

 

Though, yeah, now that I've seen it in action, I do kind of think they did something weird with Mickey's mouth. I understand wanting to make him more expressive, but why did they have to shrink his mouth so much? It looked pretty fine in previous models, and it looks like all the Disney characters so far have been kept pretty consistent with their old models, and Yen Sid looks fine by the way, I don't see people's problem with him. So why was only Mickey so dramatically changed. His mouth was so cheeky and cute before, why did they decide to break that and give him such a small mouth. Even the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Twice Upon a Christmas kept his mouth to a consistent size even when they took some of the cheek action away. I don't understand why they went with this choice.

 

Well, at the very least everything looks nice beyond that. I can't wait to play all this! Maybe Mickey's face will improve with time or his expression is much more varied than what we just saw. Anywho, I hope this continues to get better and better!

I know a few of them, if not all, have voiced characters in anime, but i don't know their names. With some research i could probably find them though

okay if you can that would be nice  but to me i think ava /vulpres sound like risa but iculd be wrong  i mean it sounds like her kingdom hearts one kairi voice

Risa literally only voices kairi and one other character

I liked this trailer(s). But something weird shaders in the BBS 0.2 part. Yen Sid, you're scaring me with that look on your face. It just intensified from previous games and he looks like a wax model imho. God make his beard move. It just makes it worse for me.

 

And Kiari what the heck is up with your hands. It's like... huge. Riku looking good as usual. Rocking that short hair. There's room for improvement. And why?!!! STOP SHOWING ME AQUA'S BACK!! I know it's sexy and all but we need to see her face! What if it's not agreeing with the engine so they're waiting until they fix it before they show us lol.

 

KH3... That physics and graphics and ugh. Nothing really new but I just enjoyed watching fire, blizzard and aero. The affects on the surroundings were just sublime. 

 

Well, I'm satisfied. Now to wait until the next time they give out news.

well we wait for magienze cover util the next event and that will be e3 next year

I'm surprised you didn't talk about Mickey. You didn't find anything off about him? Just asking.

I didn't. I thought it was up there. Mickey was just... idk how to describe it. For starters, his cheeks look flatter than usual. I don't know if it was due to him not smiling or they just took it out. His mouth looks way smaller and is shaped weird. His ears looks flat as well and not curved =. I know that Disney characters end up looking weird when they reach the 3D stage but gosh. Mickey you need help.

 

Nice signature btw.

Thx. And I agree with everything you've said. Now all they need is Drives and it'd be the epic dream I dreamed of KH3 being.

 

2016 not good enough for you? They already explained it's hard to give a release date since they have basically a demo of KH3. It'll be released similar time to 2.5.

So most likely a year from now, if not a week or so sooner. As long as we get Unchained X WAAAAAAAAAAY before then, I will be perfectly content waiting a whole year for my first PS4 KH experience.

 

Seriously though, I hope we don't have to wait too long for Unchained X. I understand that translating 2 year's worth of text is a lot of work, but after seeing how quickly Japan got Unchained ...well, needless to say it feels like it's Re:Coded all over again ("This will allow other countries to experience the same story that was exclusive to Japan a few years ago!...Let's give it to Japan first.") I-but-they-we-I don't even-gah-bu-sigh, okay. In any case, I hope it gets finished and released to us either in mid-late winter or early spring, because maaaaaaaan that would make the wait for 2.8 AND 3 sooooo much easier on everyone. Well, here's hoping that 2016 shall be known as the year that provides.

 

 

I also like how we've completely come full circle now with DDD being the source of most of the updated models for the HD ReMIX titles. Only now instead of the DDD Kingdom Key replacing the Kingdom Key in the HD cinematics, it's the fully 3-Dimensional Kingdom Key replacing the DDD Kingdom Key. So for those who were complaining or nit-picking about the pointy teeth in the HD Days and Re:Coded cinematics, fret no more, the Kingdom Key is back to it's natural state. And again, it was just the result of porting the model from the original DDD into those titles. Either they didn't have the time or capability to fix that or they just simply never noticed it until now. I'm betting on the latter as there were several asset mistakes that I noticed in BbS: FM HD, what with the wrong Station of Awakening and an incomplete Land of Departure castle in the Mirage Arena. A lot of the people who were working on 2.5 were new hires, so it makes sense that they weren't as aware of details like that. Now though it seems like they have more experience under their belts. This game is really going to be a great treat, I'm sure of it!

I think Mickey looks nice. I am curious how he will look when he is angry.

This made my day last week.

 

And to those who are unaware, Kingdom Shader is mot an engine.

Well that's a way to disappoint us:-Not really New foottage of Kh3-Hate the graphics every time a bit more.-Still no Command Deck/ Command Menu of 3D-No Gameplay of 0.2 

Command Decks were bad. You cant chain combos with them besides in recoded and had a bunch of overpowered/game breaking moves.(Balloonga) KH1/KH2 command menu is better. That's why they used it in FFVSXIII and FF7re
