Why I think 20 worlds is silly.

[The 13th Kenpachi 4,279]

Goodness me, I don't like it when people ask for 20 worlds in KH3. I think it's way too much to ask for, 20 WORLDS? This shows off Olympus which probably isn't even done yet. I honestly think asking for another 15 worlds (tangled, bh6, yen sid's tower, OC and twilight town already confirmed) of this scale is WAY too much. I think 13 worlds is enough for this game. I'd much rather have 13 detailed and immersive worlds than 20 boring ones. Sorry about the image quality.

 

 

Look at this.Twilight town isn't even done yet, you still hoping for 20 worlds? 

 

 

Think about the tangled world, why haven't we seen more areas rather than that one place by the tower? Why didn't SE show at least a screenshot or render of the BH6 world? C'mon now, 20 WORLDS? I personally think that's far too much to be asking.

It's still a possibility, even if it is too much. If you're got good power and storage, you should take advantage of it.

Everyone seems to want the game by 2017 I doubt they'll get 20 worlds done by then. Making full use of side quests, detailed environments, secret bosses and hidden areas. However-if the game is coming out in 2018 or late 2017 (December) then I can see it happening. Every world the size of OC? No I doubt it, but 3/4 of them that size by 2018 or December 2017? Yes.

[Elfdemon_ 695]

I think there needs to be at least double the worlds of KH2. So, there should be at least 26 worlds.

I actually agree.  I think I would prefer quality over quantity.  Further, more worlds will take from the charm and uniqueness of a handful, becoming more overwhelming and not meaning as much as fewer worlds.

[Komali 594]

Ehm the development stage is currently in the phase of "mass production". That means that worlds and environment will be easily produced and designed.

 

Of course the worlds haven't been in the focus of the development by the time they showed this gameplay. It should just show us the battle system. So far it was the main focus of the development.

 

During E3 you can expect many well designed worlds to be shown alongside character designs and cutscenes.

No no no no no no. Okay so everything I strongly disagree with is highlighted in red. Us as fans do not know ANYTHING in the overall spectrum of KH3's development, having expectations for E3 like you've set yourself is one of the worst things about this community. Worlds can never be easily produced at all, it takes time to create fully polished worlds , it is NOT 'easily' done like you are suggesting, which is solely based off of your own, far too literal interpretation of what Nomura 

said last year.

 

That last sentence, no, do not spread that type of misinformation to the susceptible minds of this community. You along with the rest of us have no idea what to expect, just because Nomura said 'mass production' does not mean we can expect anything of that sort. You are spreading lies, please state that as your own opinion next time. You are setting yourself up for disappointment, twilight town isn't even finished, Goofy still looks ugly, the battle quotes are still from DDD, we've only seen 1 real cutscene, no original music, the same area of twilight town and the same basic area of Kingdom of Corona, no other characters besides sora donald and goofy, we didn't even get a BH6 world screenshot. We cannot expect anything of that nature. Please refrain from that.

Twilight Town is just same old Twilight Town, all Square is doing is adding extreme detail to the environment because POWER OF THE "NEXT-GEN". I wouldn't be surprised though if there were still parts of that World that were just white and models of what to be. Also just cause a few worlds like Olympus Mountains and probably the Tangled and Big Hero 6 worlds are huge, doesn't mean there won't be worlds comparable to the size of Twilight Town, or better yet Beasts' Castle. Not only that but, we've seen a good amount of Magic and Keyblade Transformations, so they probably got Combat down (Sora's movement speed bothers me though), so Square should be able to move most of their effort designing worlds and so on. I would love 20 Worlds, but I think 17 would be more reasonable. I do see what you mean though, to live up to current gen standards, they also would probably have to drop the whole area transition thing and do what FFXV is doing.

[Svard 164]

Hm... 20 worlds, eh?

 

Twilight Town

Keyblade Graveyard (I assume)

Radiant Garden (I assume)

Castle Oblivion (I think?)

 

So if those four are included, plus, maybe one or two more non-Disney worlds, then that would be about 14 or 15 Disney worlds in total. This is all just my own speculation though. Having all those world might not be too overwhelming, depnding on whther or not another few are optional.

[KeybladeLordCheeseCurd 1,542]

I think Square said that there were gonna be more worlds in KH3 than there were in KH2. Can someone count how many worlds were in KH2?

[Headphone Jack 1,147]

i think each main game has 13 worlds in it.

 

i just checked a list and yep there's 13 worlds. 

[SuperSmashDrake 48]

I think 20 isn't too far out of reach. Assuming the game has been in development for longer than we have known, and granted I still don't think we will get it till 2020, it can be as big of a game as the consoles allow it to be. No reason for it not to be so big, especially with so many non-Disney worlds being an important part of the story, it would be a shame to see a max of 13 worlds but half of them being Twilight Town, Destiny Islands, The World That Never Was, Castle Oblivion, etc. 

[Jake 1,488]

About 12-13 worlds, so we should get at least 15.

Well, I see what you're saying here, but I dunno, I think Nomura and the gang have been at work with this game for much longer than we've realized, but I don't know, maybe that's just me!  I would love for there to be 20 worlds, but if there are any less, I won't mind, as long as the game takes a long time to beat!  But Nomura did say that there were going to be more worlds in Kingdom Hearts III, and last I checked, there were about a total of 15 worlds in Kingdom Hearts II, so I think we could get 20!

 

But we won't know anything for sure until Nomura updates us on the game's progress!

San Fransokyo

Mt. Olympus

Agrabah

Port Royal

Pride Lands

100 Acre Wood

Arendelle

Treasure Planet World

Atlantis World

The Black Cauldron World

Toy Story World

Emperor's New Groove World

The Jungle Book World

Either a Pocahontas World, a Monsters Inc World, or a The Incredibles World

It is industry standard that development of games starts very slow and is progressing faster and faster. The word "mass production" used by Nomura implies this fact. This is no lie or subjective interpretation, it can be empirically proofed.

Im not sure even about the tangled world, because free roam in games is good, but with the size of it, I think you may need the ps4 of NASA to run the world properly

[GroovingOnUp 163]

Nah not even close.

 

Just look at what they're doing with FFXV with the ps4 or what they did with witcher 3.There's nothing special about what's kh3 doing where the ps4 couldn't run it properly.

Dude, you're being way too pessimistic. We really do not know the rate and pace of Square Enix's development. This E3, we're guaranteed to get new worlds revealed and (hopefully) some character renders too. After looking at the scope of Final Fantasy 15, having large open worlds is not out of the question. It will be 20 worlds.

[KH4Real 749]

If there would be 20worlds it must be splitted up in 13 normal and 7 disney worlds.

Could be mine idea though lol.

With normal I include Final Fantasy and worlds like Castle Oblivion.

I think 20 worlds in kingdom hearts 3 is fine as long as they are not very lengthy. I'm not really fond of lengthy games

[Gwynbleidd 551]

13+7=20

You know what Nomura is like with numbers.

[AzureAce 544]

I personally feel that 13 worlds is way too little. KHII had more worlds than that. 20 worlds is better because they'll still look amazing, and it'll lengthen the time you get to play the game. If you thoroughly played through KHII, not skipping cutscenes and the like, you get at least 20 hours out of it. At least. We should be aiming for something like 50, it's the new generation, they would be aiming high with the new technology at their fingertips. As this is the final game in the Dark Seeker Saga, they should be going all out with it and making it bigger and better than KHII, and even that in itself is a feat.

[Soul_Seeker 753]

I don't think you understand the context of 'mass production' he was using. Mass production is not easy in any way. Production of worlds is not just, 'oh lets just open up 3d rendering pro--oh, nvm, finished world guys MOVE ON'. It takes time and effort to produce these, especially on a large scale such as this. Don't forget, Nomura speaks Japanese for the most part so there's always the chance that something may be lost or added in translation. If it's completely unaltered, he meant that the production of worlds was now underway and would be the main focus of that stage of development. In no way was he implying it would be quick. The only way it would be quick is if they had a much larger team, and the fact that there is a collaboration between two teams might speed up the process but it's still a very difficult process.
