Jaden T Ortiz 32 Posted August 6, 2017 Will Kingdom Hearts 3 get rid of the text based cutscenes? Im replaying through kh2 again and hate the text cutscenes, im hoping they don't appear in kh3. What are your thoughts and feelings? 4 Movies798, The Transcendent Key, PupperFrost and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MythrilMagician 6,963 Posted August 6, 2017 BBS and DDD don't have text cutscenes. So KH3 shouldn't have. The storage limitations shouldn't even be there anymore. 3 DoDo4869, Movies798 and The Transcendent Key reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just because BBS and DDD didn't have them doesn't mean they can be ruled out entirely. Remember how I said before that if they DID come back, they could be voice-acted, similarly to Fire Emblem Echoes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be better having them voiced. .02 was all cutscene I believe so im hopeing for the best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KH just has a lot of cutscenes, but practically every current gen home console game has regular cutscenes these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) I never had a problem with text cutscenes, but I do prefer voiced cutscenes, and the more KHIII has, the better! If text cutscenes don't come back, I won't miss them particularly! X3 Edited August 7, 2017 by The Transcendent Key Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PupperFrost 2 Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) I never really liked the text cutscenes myself, they always felt really dull to me. If they do return I hope it's mostly for extra stuff that doesn't move the story along. Edited August 7, 2017 by FrostedChase Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seyin95 175 Posted August 8, 2017 My stance would be if they serve a purpose to the plot of either the game on a whole or merely the world then they should be voiced. If they don't add anything substantial, then remove them. I wasn't against them in previous titles, but I wouldn't miss them if they are removed.

WilliamNiira 34 Posted August 8, 2017 I loved the text cutscenes. I didn't press continue because I wanted to see Donalds mouth keep moving, even though he'd talked for like half an hour. 2 Alja and selfKaiHarness reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 5,715 Posted August 8, 2017 Yes, because it will let me flip through Xehanort's samey dialogue ten times faster than having to sit through a cutscene. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B-but Xehanort's monologuing is godly! Why would you want to skip that? Edited August 10, 2017 by The Transcendent Key Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AwesomeKHfan 1,250 Posted August 10, 2017 The text cutscenes sometimes really take me out of the expierence I don't mind them but my friend who was playing KH2 asked me ''Could you explain me why they first start talking with text and than 5 seconds latter they are fully voiced?'' eeeeeeh budget issues? I replyed not certain. When Aqua started talking in 2.8 over the mirror I expected text but I was surprised by the voice acting and it is welcome for me.

TheDvsBstd 1 Posted August 16, 2017 I wouldn't really care if there would be any text boxes or not, but I do think that they were kind of charming. That said it probably belongs with sixth generation of consoles, not so sure it'd look right with the art style they're aiming for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlankShell 638 Posted August 16, 2017 BBS had a few text cutscenes if I recall correctly, but very few. I feel like KH3 will have a few as well since so many resources are going into the new engine and gameplay and they'll probably need to cut corners somewhere by basic rendering. That said, the text cutscenes are at least better ingrained than a lot of other JRPGs, where they just overlay stock voice clips because they don't want to pay to voice every little thing.

You're aware of Fire Emblem Echoes, right? Like I said earlier, text cutscenes were completely voiced. Square Enix should takes notes and do this for KH3, in my opinion, assuming there's still text cutscenes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted August 17, 2017 Honestly, in the end, it doesn't really matter all that much to me whether text cutscenes are implemented or not into Kingdom Hearts III. Either way, it doesn't add or take away from my experience, ya know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
