Too Much Information, Nomura...

[Fullmetal Keyblade 88]

The absolute bombardment of information related to KH3 in the last two years has been incredible, and I speak as a well devoted fan when I say sometimes it's been nearly overwhelming.

 

This is one of those times

 

While I understand the marketing push behind it and how Square and Nomura need to give something to the fans who have been waiting so long for KH3, I can't help but feel we have too much in too little of a time. It honestly feels like Nomura is making up for the period of time between '13 and '16 when hardly any information was presented about the game.

 

It may be an unpopular opinion but I feel like Nomura has given us too much. I would of loved for example to discover Arendale or the Caribbean for myself as a player, or stumbled across Remy's Restaurant while wandering around Twilight Town, or been given the shock directly during gameplay of seeing certain Organization members returning for the game.

 

Genuine great gaming memories happen out of spontaneousness, or in the appreciation of a particular moment that immerses the player into game deeply. Having some of these moments given to us freely is a nice gesture but for me it takes away the moment I could of found myself, and therefore reduces some of it's value. I am fully aware that I still have many more such opportunities in KH3 and that we have only been made aware of a small percentage of the complete game, and ultimately that will allay my current feelings. But after each successive trailer, with each night spent obsessively pouring over analysis' and interview's, I feel that personal attachment of wonder I have for this game becomes weaker, and I'm afraid that come December I'll know and expect so much from the game that when it's finally in my hands it won't have the same impact on me as it would if I didn't know much about it.

 

This is more of a personal opinion, but I suspect I'm not the only one who feels this way.

 

TL;DR Don't give out so much information about a game that people can become burned out before it even releases.

Aboslutely agree. I will try to avoid trailers from now on. This is just getting ridicolous.

[Exiblade7 1,917]

agreed. It's like he's trying to make up for what didn't get prior 2017. I noticed back in July this year when a ton of interviews started pouring out after e3. I may end up avoiding KH3 trailers from now on too.

I can see where you're coming from, but there's also a very simple and easy solution. Don't watch the trailers. Shut yourself off from everything, that way it'll all be brand new and exciting for you.

I disagree, but I understand though. Despite the new trailer showing me new stuff I still don't what the hell is going on! Even if it Nomura did gave me some new information I still don't what to expect in Kingdom Hearts 3. Nomura said there's tons of twists and surprises in Kingdom Hearts 3 so I believe there's more to this game than the trailers are not giving us.

your "he has a bad conscious " sounds believeable

"WAH WHY ARE WE NOT GETTING ENOUGH INFO"

 

"WAH NOW WE'RE GETTING TOO MUCH INFO BEFORE RELEASE "

 

This fanbase is filled with babies who don't know what they want. Nomura deserves better. Should just keep this series Japan exclusive since the Japanese fanbase isn't nearly as whiny or entitled.

Well, we honestly had not been getting much for about four years. It was only around late 2017/ early 2018 where information started coming out regularly now that the game was coming out soon. So of course they want to keep up the hype. Which is what the trailers are for, for hype. That's why they are showing all the Disney worlds and what not, they need to sell the game. If they stopped suddenly, the casual fans would forget about the game and move on to something else.

 

Now I get the feeling of wanting to be surprised, but I know at least with Disney worlds they usually revealed them a head of time anyway for every game so far in the series. They might not have gotten their own individual trailers but we usually saw bits and pieces of them. Kingdom Hearts 3 is the biggest game since Kingdom Hearts 2 so they are gonna hype it up as much as possible. I do agree the new trailer was a bit overwhelming though.

 

I know that personally I'm usually OK with spoilers (heck, it sometimes makes me more hyped), so sometimes I don't understand what people see as too much. So if you think that they are revealing too much and want to stop watching trailers and getting more information, that's of course up to you. I can understand that as a personal choice.

Dude, it's an opinion. They are not whining. You can disagree with the opinion but that does not make you right or make them entitled. People can criticize things believe it or not.

I recall a quote from Nomura saying that there is plenty of secrets left and that there are still new worlds to be unveiled. So I wouldn't go saying that he's been spoiling us. Also we still know next to nothing about the story.

The game is going to be 40 plus hours. We have less than an hours worth of footage.

[Goyan-Tanuki 38]

All I know is that I'm good I got all I want especially with the boxart reveal. I don't need to watch anymore trailers and where is that PS4 Pro lol.

[Axtwyt 500]

The Frozen trailer and the TGS trailer had that effect on me. I felt Nomura was blowing so much potential stuff for the players just to build up some hype and theories.

It's getting annoying. I hate that my anticipation for KH3 is such a roller coaster. I'm probably going to avoid watching the next trailer, cut myself off from KH pages on Facebook and other social media as well.

You’re definitely not the only one who feels this way. I feel like Nomura should have gone the route of ambiguity by releasing trailers only at the big events for a couple of years and then ramping it up a little before launch. A good example would be Death Stranding. It’s only had about 4 trailers and people are still hyped as firetruck about that game. I feel like Kingdom Hearts should have done the same. As of now they’ve spoiled AT LEAST 3 main Disney world bosses, Ventus in the chamber of waking, Aqua falling to darkness, almost every single world, etc. He’s just showing us spoilers at this point, and if it keeps up, we’ll all already know almost everything about the game before it even launches. I’ve been waiting for this game way too long to let it get spoiled for me so I’m gonna delete YouTube from everything and maybe even log off of this. I love Nomura and his games, but I don’t want to be unintentionally spoiled for something I’ve been waiting for since I was 8 years old.
