Toominator 916 Posted September 17, 2015 When Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue was announced, an announcement trailer accompanied it. However, the Kingdom Hearts YouTube channel has uploaded the trailer in glorious 1080p, which includes scenes from the Kingdom Hearts III E3 2015 trailer and brand new gameplay footage of Kingdom Hearts III. The trailer ends with a "Now In Development" message. You can view the trailer below: English Trailer <3 Japanese Trailer <3 Kingdom Hearts III - TGS 2015 Teaser Trailer <3 At the end of the video description for the official trailer, it's confirmed that Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue will be coming in 2016 for both North America and Europe! Previously, a 2016 release date was only confirmed for Japan. The official website for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue has been updated to include the trailer as well. Below you can check out Chirithy's monologue from the trailer. Long ago, all the worlds were one. This undivided world would come to be called the world of fairy tales. It all began here, in Daybreak Town. The Master of Masters has an eye that gazes into the future. He bestowed upon five of his six apprentices a copy of the Book of Prophecies... ...which contained information about the catastrophic events that lay ahead. Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue will contain three titles: an HD remaster of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, an HD cinematic that tells more about the story of the Foretellers, and Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage-, which is a playable episode that follows Aqua after the events of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Square Enix have elaborated on these titles with official summaries. What do you think of the new Kingdom Hearts III footage? Let us know in the comments!

Morpheus 1 Posted September 17, 2015 I think the one who is narrating the KH X back Cover is Chirithy Edit: Woops.. it is her Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sportsmaster5 353 Posted September 17, 2015 So again Japan is gonna get it first because the Japanese version had a date of 2016 and now the english version only has now in development. Welp that sucks.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaweebo 3,617 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Why are parts of this in English and parts not? Aren't we getting an official English trailer tomorrow? The new KHIII footage is coolio tho So again Japan is gonna get it first because the Japanese version had a date of 2016 and now the english version only has now in development. Welp that sucks.... I didn't even realize that! If 2.8 comes out late 2016 and the English version is pushed to 2017, that could mean English KHIII could be pushed back as far as 2018, too! Ugh... EDIT: I imagine if it's 'In Development' then English voice-acting for Xchi might not be ready, but why didn't they at least English dub the DDD gameplay parts and swap the lip-syncing in the cutscenes? It seriously seems like all they did was put voices for the first cutscene showing Young Xehanort and the one with Riku, but the scenes with Jiminy and Axel seem to match the Japanese voices. This trailer is incredibly lazy if so... I know the Japanese audience is top priority but take some pride in your work, guys.

ssceles 134 Posted September 17, 2015 Per norm, the Japanese get a "Final Mix"-esque option to play in English. Whereas we, once again, will not get any option to play in Japanese. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghjklbnm 7 Posted September 17, 2015 I seriously doubt the english version will come out more than a month after the japanese release, "in development" must mean casting and recording for X back cover and BBS 0.2. So to anyone worried about delays, don't be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted September 17, 2015 THE HYPE IS REAL, PEOPLE!!! DID YOU SEE THAT BRIEF, YET BEAUTIFUL FOOTAGE OF KINGDOM HEARTS III? DID YOU!?

Moochieh32 676 Posted September 17, 2015 ... Just a thought... because they included a new version of the same trailer from E3 of KH3, could this mean that there possibly is a chance of a demo being included in with 2.8 that takes place in Tangled world or something? I have this strange feeling now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So to anyone worried about delays, don't be. This, I don't think the wait is gonna be as long for this title. For one, a third of this will be like 5 hours at max, so not much voice work will be necessary. ...

Well, 3D is a full game, then we got cutscenes and then we have BBS0.2 which might be quite short. It'd make sense if they put a KH3 demo in if you pre-order to make it more reasonable to get. I mean the game is also $60, while the other HDs costed $40. I just have this slighest feeling. Edited September 17, 2015 by Moochieh32 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's KH3 Ground Zeroes. I mean, they're using the new engine, they're not gonna waste time creating gameplay different from KH3, so that's your slice of KH3. This is what adds to the price tag. And tbh, I'm not 100% convinced that's the final price. 1 Zay reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't have much confirmation yet either. We're gonna have to wait for Nomura's chance to speak about this to get full answers.

Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted September 17, 2015 I can't wait! So much hype! X3 Hopefully Dream Drop Distance HD will have a newly orchestrated soundtrack as well. It was one of my favorite soundtracks out of the series, so it would be nice to listen to that music anew with the HD upgrade. And yeah, that's gotta be Drake Bell voicing Eraqus. I would bet my bottom dollar on it. X3 1 HumbleGamer reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J. Severe 1,137 Posted September 17, 2015 you don't say? I like how they tagged on some KH3 stuff at the beginning of the trailer. it's like "hey guys, please don't complain about us not showing off KH3, here it is, h-here's two seconds of new footage" 1 Tails reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ven983 490 Posted September 17, 2015 The "Now in Development" does not worry me in the slightest, if you go to the video on Youtube they say it is coming out in 2016 in the description. This trailer is a little different than the first one so it may be that this trailer was made before they officially decided the release date/time frame. 1 Bewilde reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DDD is an incredibly short game and it seems like they won't add new content just straight up port it with some tweaks. 0.2 obviously is a short game using stuff from KH3 and won't be any longer than Duscae (3hrs max) then it's just a movie after that and if they use the Chi 2D art style then that won't take longThis collection is Q2 2016 IMO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
