Has too much been shown of KH3?

I'd love to yalls thoughts on this!

A little, in my opinion. A lot of reveals, world designs, and transformations have been shown, and it takes a little something away from the game. It's GOOD they're advertising it like crazy, but Aquanort, Meg's voice actor returning, and possibly Twilight Town should've been kept as surprises discovered in game. I know there's plenty they haven't shown us, but in my opinion (Feel free to ignore!), they've spoiled what should've have been left as big discoveries in game through the promotional materials.

I fully agree with you but its really complicated I mean you want to advertise your game as much as possible but you just cant show the same 3 or 4 cutscenes and gameplay over and over again. I like it best when trailers are only hinting at things but that works with movies better than it does with games. But I am sure that if they show this much there is Much more that we dont have seen. As long as they are not stupid enough to show us images or scenes from the final world which nomura allready said is his favorit of all  time. But yea I deeply hope that there are going to be disney worlds that they keep a secret.

Yeah, hopefully we will look back and say the stuff the showed was nothing huge.

 

I just hope they keep the original world's mostly secret.

I hope so. As great as all the trailers and reveals are, I'll be really disappointed if little in the game is fresh stuff not shown in the trailers already.

It'll still be KH3, and amazing, but keep SOME secrets, Square! Jeez...

I'd like to hope at least two or three worlds are total surprises.

Great video, man! 

Honestly, I think we're fine with what we've gotten, and I don't really think we've been shown too much to the point that the game would be ruined for us. I mean, we've all known that Sora will be the one to save those steeped in sorrow, so seeing him be the one to fight Aqua makes perfect sense. Ergo, that doesn't really count as a spoiler for me, ya know? If anything, it strengthens hype for that particular part of the story everyone is wondering about, ya know?

And keep in mind, we've been told that this game, mini-games and everything, is about 80+ hours long. So really, we've only watched up to 1 hour of content, out of an almost 100 hour game. So if anything, we've barely scratched the surface of everything the game will have, ya know? I'm sure Nomura will save the best reveals as surprises for when we actually have the game in our hands, ya know?

[ITzDarthLordRevan 291]

I think they aren't showing us too much. Most of the stuff we were shown from trailers are just scratching the surface and there isn't any context to most of it. I think this was pretty much SE making up for the years we barely got anything. Not to mention, we are nearing KH3's release, so it's only going to ramp up from here until after Jump Festa. I highly doubt they'll show us the final world and will stop at just showing the Disney and Pixar Worlds. But, hey, if people think it's too much, that's fine. I'm not here to try and change anyone's mind or to squabble over something so trivial. If you want to leave the internet so you can go into this game somewhat blind, I'm not stopping you.

[ocean's rage 772]

well we have certainly seen a lot but there still bound to be plenty of things we dont know about i imagine there still a few keyblades not gotten through the story we havent seen with unique moves

[Chasm 108]

I'm still on the fence that we haven't even scratched the surface. It's a JRPG after all. It's damn near impossible to see even 10% of the game before launch. There's just too much content. There's still so much we don't know about. We don't even know about ANY of the systems in the game or how they will work. We don't know how Gummi Ships will work, how leveling keyblades will work, if the FF characters are still in, world quantity, keyblade quantity...etc. We still haven't seen all of the characters lol. They've only shown us surface things and only a fraction of the story elements. Trust me, other game companies show off MUCH more by the time their games release. This game has been in development for a really long time. I think it's because of that that people believe we've seen a lot. It's because we aren't used to getting barely anything at all.

[setsugekka 162]

I do kinda wish they showed us less because I'm the type of person who hates spoilers and wants to indulge in a totally fresh experience when I play a game. But, I've been enjoying the theories and speculation that the trailers have spawned so much, it feels like a fair trade-off. The game's not even out and I'm having this much fun with it. I wrote down a bunch of my own predictions and the list was HUGE, so there's definitely still sooo much stuff that we don't know. If anything, the clips they've chosen to show us have just created more questions to fuel our interest.

Nice video, btw!

[Movies798 1,358]

In my opinion, the only thing I wish they kept a secret was Aqua falling into darkness from the Frozen trailer. To me I wish they kept that scene a secret until I play the game because it would've been a cool jaw dropping moment for me. However, despite all the trailers we have so far I still say no they haven't shown too much of Kingdom Hearts 3. Even though I will be very much aware about that Aqua scene when I play the game when it comes out, but I still don't know what the hell is going within the game and how it will play out. The only thing I know about Kingdom Hearts 3 is that Kingdom Hearts 3 is about Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, and King Mickey travelling to new and old Disney/Original worlds trying to stop Master Xehanort's plan of the upcoming second Keyblade War. That's the only thing I know about Kingdom Hearts 3, but I still don't know the whole story.

[Karxrida 154]

I feel like certain things like the Aqua reveal shouldn't have been shown, but otherwise we still know relatively little about the game overall. (Still have no idea what Sora's actually trying to do.)

 

There's probably still a bunch of surprises and twists to experience firsthand when the game comes out.

[celestialkestrel 2]

As someone who's studied advertising for film, TV and (we sort of touched on games) it's a really common tactic to show a lot but mislead the viewers as to what they mean. I don't believe Aqua is norted, I believe that was one of the misleading things shown. I don't think they would of put something that big in unless they knew the viewers were going to misinterpret it. Then also a lot of the information we're told in the trailers are stuff said in other games (Which I was surprised to find a lot of people missed DDD). But I do believe what they have shown us is half truths/misleads meant to get people talking (garnering publicity) but not actually giving away the events of the game.
We have to remember that the game is meant to be massive and I don't think they could spoil everything for us.
Also sorry I'm really bad at explaining things and I just joined.

Actually, I understood what you meant pretty well! It's true that when advertising something, the companies that do so often indeed put certain bits of tantalizing info to get people hyped up and speculate, and also mislead!

A perfect example of this is one of the trailers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. In said trailer, there's a part where it shows that Rey is about to kill Luke Skywalker, who was on the ground beneath her. When I saw the trailer, I was shocked and I thought Rey was gonna take a turn for the Dark Side! But it turns out that it was all a big misdirection meant to get people talking! 

But yeah, I'm confident that there's much more to what we've seen in the trailers than meets the eye!

I get what your saying. It's a common tactic. I would laugh my butt off if Aqua's not even norted or whatever considering all the fights that happened over it (it get a little nasty at times too, like, none of you have actually played the game yet so nobody knows?) Nomura's has been misleading multiple times himself so even if it seems like we know everything, we probably actually know nothing (basically Kingdom Hearts in general).

To be fair, even when we play the game we will probably not know what's going on, so no, I don't personally think they are showing too much.

Like the Avengers Infinity War fake trailer scenes

I agree though I'm still going to do my best to avoid any other footage, especially game play, just in case. I want to preserve as much of the experience for myself as I can, which is why I'm grateful that I have a PS4 and can play the game as soon as it comes out instead of dodging spoilers for years like I did for Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance. Also I'm willing to bet that there's some kind of twist to the whole Aqua thing, which is why they've show the parts of it that they did. Like maybe evil Aqua is an illusion or a replica? I never rule anything out when it comes to Kingdom Hearts.

Yeah. Plus, Nomura did said that he doesn't think the Aqua revealed was a spoiler. So we can assumed that there's more to that Aqua scene than we think.

[Ventus_ 396]

What's left to the imagination at this point is admittedly narrowing.

• The current number worlds revealed is probably at least half the total. The original five which were almost an even split of three returning and two debuting: Twilight Town, OC, Kingdom of Corona, Mysterious Tower and San Franksokyo, were perfect. Perhaps this wouldn't be quite an issue if we knew how many total worlds there will be but that's one of few things we're left guessing. 
  An exception can be granted to Frozen, however, as it was predictable. We had the villains attempting to manipulate Elsa plot nailed in roughly 2016 when it was just anticipation. That and the film was a huge hit so how could SE ignore it.  
• Aquanort and Sora being forced to embrace darkness to revive Roxas were a major plot twist reveals. 
• With several shots of gameplay aspects such as keyblades, keyblade transformations and party members, the brand new combat style has basically be mapped out for us. 

There are still things left to anticipate, however such as:

• Which characters will be the boss battles of each world.
• There's another side to Aquanort and Sora having to use darkness to revive Roxas which is that we have no context. All might not be as it appears. 
• We could still predict other new worlds that will appear and/or hope for. 
• We still have no idea if/how Ventus, Aqua and Terra can be saved.

Sure, quite a lot was shown, but what we know is all over the place. We just can't put anything together. Everything we were shown is out of context so we still know next to nothing.

That's why I can't wait till KH3 comes out in January.
