Kingdom Hearts III Trailer

[rho 9]

First, I have no direct link to the trailer. I did not have any form of recording with me.

 

My friend goes to this club at school everyday at lunch. I sometimes go there out of boredom. It's pretty much a gaming, anime, etc. club.

 

So, yesterday, I walked in at the start and saw an adult hooking something up near the overhead projector. I asked my friend if he knew what was going on, and he said "Oh, (student's name removed)'s cousin works for the game company Square Enix, and he's showing us a trailer today."

Interested, I stayed. Thinking it could be Kingdom Hearts-related, I got out a notebook and a pen. My friend luckily knows Japanese, since he's going to Japan this summer.

 

The guy turns off the lights and says "I'm not supposed to be showing you this trailer. This is for Kingdom Hearts III. This has to remain a secret, otherwise I could get fired."

 

He then began playing it.

 

The cutscene graphics looked about the same as they were in KH2.

It starts off with Japanese text, reading that infamous like "There is no coincidence in fate."

 

A brief clip of Ansem and Aqua in the Dark Realm plays.

 

The scene then cuts to Sora with Riku and Kairi at the shore of Destiny Islands.

Kairi says "You are positive about this?", to which Sora and Riku reply "Yes."

Kairi then says she's going with them.

 

A brief scene then flashes of Riku vanishing, and Kairi running off.

 

Then we're shown Sora reuniting with Donald and Goofy. No dialogue.

 

Ominous music plays, and we see someone in an Org.XIII coat emerge in Twilight Town, and they walk up to a character that looks a lot like Riku, and does that name-generator thing Xemnas did with Roxas at the end of the 358/2 Days intro.

Then we're introduced to a new character. Ixruk.

 

The hooded person then takes off the hood to reveal that they are Xion. She has those gold-ish eyes now, which I believe signify being evil. She then says "Come with me."

 

She is then seen with Ixruk, walking up to what looked like Braig, Dilan, Aeleus, and someone I couldn't identify. She then says "We can soon create the Organization anew."

 

"Be My Last" by Utada Hikaru then begins to play, with what appeared to be clips from the intro playing. One of which was a version of that scene from the KH1 intro with Kairi and Sora looking up at the sky at the shore of Destiny Islands, seeing a meteor shower or whatever, only this time it was Xion and Roxas.

 

Sora is seen walking in Twilight Town with Donald and Goofy, and they encounter Pence, Hayner, and Olette. Hayner then says "Rematch?"

 

Also in Twilight Town, someone who looks a lot like Demyx (I presume his "somebody") is shown sitting in the forest playing guitar briefly.

 

It then cuts to Sora and co. approaching a new building, and someone looking a lot like Larxene (Again, I presume it's her somebody) is then seen.

 

We're in Hollow Bastion all of a sudden. Even is seen talking to Sora. My friend could translate him as saying "They're trapped. You need to guide them to the door to light."

 

Cloud is then seen next to Neku and Shiki from The World Ends with You, and he says something about Zack. Tifa then puts her hand on his shoulder in sympathy.

 

A heartless is seen about to surprise-attack Sora, and a character that looks like Maka from Soul Eater then attacks the heartless.

 

An older Lea and Isa walk past Sora and co. Lea stops and says "I can't help but think I know that guy.."

 

Gameplay time! Most of it went by too fast for me to make a lot of it out. I know I noticed the graphics are pretty much the same (maybe slightly improved), and I noticed only these:

-What appeared to be standard Heartless fighting. It looked like it was in Agrabah.

-A Kraken boss battle, on a pirate ship, blatantly Port Royal. The reaction command button was a circle with an "A" in the middle, so it looks like SE and Disney took the wise path and put it on the Wii. The PS3 doesn't have a button like that, neither does the 360, but the Wii certainly does.

-Fighting the Omnidroid from The Incredibles. Oh hell yeah.

 

Back to cutscenes.

 

Port Royal time. This time, Sora and co. have pirate costume changes. And let me tell you..THEY WERE AWESOME. Literally, they actually made Sora look badass.

 

..Dwayne Johnson? He says something like "We'll help you. After all, you've helped us." I can only presume this is a Witch Mountain world.

 

Hollow Bastion again. Guy that looks like Luxord, he says something about challenging Sora. Guy that looks like Marluxia, no dialogue.

 

Toy Story world. Buzz approaches Sora and asks him "Are you a hero as well?"

 

Ixruk is fighting Sora, seemingly in Land of Dragons. Ixruk says "You're as weak as I remember." Sora gets a look of confusion on his face.

 

Stitch jumps onto Sora's head in a friendly matter. Lilo then laughs. Hawaii world, it looks like.

 

Oh god, this one I loved when my friend translated it. Edna Mode, with Sora. This. line.

"This is a HOBO KEYBLADE!"

 

We then cut to a scene that appears to be either in a new original world, or in TWTNW. Sora and Aqua confront each other. Aqua yells "VANITAS, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY." and attacks Sora. You think you've seen Sora get his ass kicked before? HA.

Mickey then runs up and says "Aqua. That is Sora."

Aqua has a look of surprise on her face.

 

Ansem's voice says some stuff my friend couldn't comprehend, with various clips, including an EXTREMELY brief one that appeared to be Sora and Aqua fighting Evil Xion.

 

At the very end, I heard him say something like "Sloof Lirpa.." with a shot of Ixruk's face, and it cut to the logo, then "2011". I have no idea what "Sloof Lirpa" means. If anyone knows Japanese well enough to be able to translate romanized Japanese, that'd be awesome.

 

 

The guy then just answered a couple brief questions.

 

Q: Are those all the worlds?

A: No, there are several more, both old and new, including a world based off of Princess and the Frog.

 

Q: How long has it been being made?

A: Square Enix Japan began production sometime in 2008. We at Square Enix North America just recently were given this trailer.

 

He then said he had to go and once again told us not to spread this... but screw him. He can't tell me what to do, this is America.

 

If somehow you haven't figured it out, this is indeed an April Fools topic. If you do not know what April Fools is, I believe you have either been living under a rock or you recently quit being amish.

Nice April's Fool joke dude, but from where I am, you're a day early.

[VENROXAS 152]

Cool if its true

[Kaiso 2,764]

Oh god.

I wasn't aware that it was April Fools Day. Also it was kind of obvious at parts.

 

[Space Cowboy 1,392]

[RoxasRiku 0]

If this is true, then HECK YES!! Edit:Wait, this is April Fools, doh.

[Space Cowboy 1,392]

If this is true, then HECK YES!!

 

look at the bottom, it says its a april fools joke :@

[Ven fan 4]

April Fools people. Lol I new it wouldn't be true, but very convincing. When you said there was some Incredibles stuff, I figured. But the Toy Story idea was an idea I had since KH 2. Lol! Good one.

[windwalker91 3]

Sloof Lirpa = April fools

But it would be grat if it were a true trailer. Someone made a 1st April jode on khinsider.com about KH3

[EaglesFan887 11]

Awesome! I didn't believe you, before I saw u said it was a joke but that is beast. And I do believe riku is the next villain, kike the next saga, and if h turns into a nobody, I think it will be rixku.

[358daysbySLEEP 0]

[King Riku 2,063]

[TheDarkspine 0]

[kingdomlanelover 494]

Awesome job dude! Now if they trailer is really like this. Then I bet you will be feeling pretty saltly!

[The Wise Ansem 1]

Nice joke. If you highlight the words at the bottom you can see it's a April Fools joke.

[DragonMaster 1,166]

Lol, good one. How you came up with this entire thing is beyond me though.

[RoxasStalker 11]

Awww man! I was so happy when I read the title too! Though that was the best joke I have ever rad before in my life
