Coverage: Share The Magic Kingdom Hearts III panel with Shinji Hashimoto at Lucca Comics & Games 2018

I can totally feel a trailer and world reveal coming! And Saturday is practically around the corner! So hyped!

And on my birthday. Thanks Hashimoto for the perfect birthday gift.

Fun fact: Nov. 3rd happens to be Culture Day in Japan which celebrates the arts, academics, and culture in general through things such as parades, art exhibitions, and award ceremonies held for highly respected scholars and artists. 

Also, can't wait to see what Mr. Hashimoto has for us! Here's hoping he has a new trailer for us or at least some sort of new information. It's going to be a long panel too so I'm betting we'll get something!

Wow, looking at the pictures it does seem KH3 is getting a LOT of attention. I think we're bound to get something by the looks of it.

I want to believe, but... I've just been hurt too many times...

Oh come on Sparrow... the timing, the panel, everything seems to point towards it, also remember that what Neverland told us, as Sora said:

"If you believe, you can do anything right?" So don't stop believing. If nothing comes then there's always comfort in knowing the game it's almost here. No need to mope.

Exactly! With all the screenshots of Olympus we've been getting lately along with the new gif, the drawing of some of KH 3 enemies, the huge keyblade, and the fact the panel is 1 hour and 30 minutes long, it's perfectly fine to be at least a little optimistic that something big is going to be there.

Keep ya chin up! KH 3 has ESRB rating now which means there's a complete copy of the game. We can now confidently say that KH 3 is real!

I'd be worried if it wasn't complete by now... That would not be a good sign. Polishing up the last bits and pieces is a different matter but if the game itself isn't complete 3 months prior to release, I could only imagine that it would be delayed or be released in an unfinished state (which would be worse than a delay imo).

I'm carefully optimistic about Saturday. Since nothing has been announced, I won't be disappointed if we end up with little or no news but I do find it strange that they seemingly put a quite a bit more effort into this event than, let's say, PGW. TGS is one thing since it's Japan, but all that for just a panel with a few tidbits and lots of "we can't answer that yet" sounds strange.

Then again, the event doesn't have much of a history with news appearing, which is why I'm careful with being too excited. I guess I will also be happy if we get to hear a few things about the development process, etc. Despite ultimately wanting the game of course, I also enjoy reading/hearing about behind the scenes work.

I Want to see the news information and another new trailer for "Kingdom Hearts 3" is Tomorrow and reveal the old and new worlds, like Olympus and reveal the old and new characters, like Kairi and even, the Three Caballeros (Donald, Panchito and Jose)!

Because this Sunday, the 100th anniversary celebration of Daylight Savings Time has come to an end at 2:00 a.m. and all clock must be fall backwards to regain the hour of sleep, during the Fall and Winter months!

But wait! There's more! As during the events of "Dream Drop Distance", Here's how it looks at the characters of "Kingdom Hearts 3" about 7 Lights and 13 Darknesses:

*The Legendary Keyblade Wielders (as the 7 Guardians of Light): Sora, Master Riku, King Mickey, Master Aqua, Ventus (as the true name of Roxas), Lea and Kairi.

*The Real Organization XIII (as the 13 Seeker of Darkness): Master Xehanort (as his future self), Lord Xemnas, which is Terranort's Nobodies, Lord Ansem, which is Terranort's Heartless, Isa (as the true name of Saïx), Braig (as the true name of Xigbar), Arlene (as the true name of Larxene), Durol (as the true name of Luxord), Even (as the true name of Vexen), Medy (as the true name of Demyx), Lauriam (as the true name of Marluxia), Young Xehanort (as his past self), Vanitas and Repliku!

You see? This is exactly what happens the story of the Kingdom Hearts saga from the very beginning!

Is that Correct?

Cause I want to see reveal the old and new worlds, like Olympus!

Is that right?

I would keep my expectations low. Since there's nothing confirmed, it could potentially end up being a panel where we will see nothing or just a few bits here and there.

Which would be fine by me but I already saw people blow a fuse that it won't be streamed and complaining about exclusivity when there is not even any proof there will be something substantial coming out of this that the general public won't be able to access at some point. (Sure, it would be nice to see but since I speak neither Italian nor Japanese, I likely would not understand a thing anyway. At least my guess is that it will be translated into Italian for the audience since the event is in Italy...)

I guess most of us wish for a trailer or a world announcement but hyping things up and then getting disappointed isn't exactly great for anyone. The convention doesn't have such a huge history and while they do seem to put an extraordinary amount of effort into it, it could just be a panel with regular questions and answers (i.e. "What were some of the difficulties during development?" or "How was working with Disney and Pixar?" and so on), sharing some stories and whatever people do at panels. They don't always present something groundbreaking there.

I also appreciate the kinds of presentations where they just share what we normally wouldn't see in the final game.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your Daylight Savings Time comment to be honest... And for Europe, that was already last week. So what exactly did you mean by referring to that?

And Ventus is a separate person from Roxas, not his true name.

This is EXACTLY how I feel! It's nice to see someone with controlled and realistic expectations around the community

While it is definitely odd how much effort is being thrown at this seemingly random event, all of the other panels at this event so far have just been what you described, with nothing major dropped. So I don't know why KH3 would be any different. It almost makes me embarrassed to be a KH fan when I see people like EdDaWiz lose their cool because there is no livestream.

I also cannot speak Italian, and I know very little Japanese, so a livestream would have been wasted on me anyway lol

I wouldn't listen to this guy. He has a lot of posts like this and he gives off this vibe like he's trying to annoy or troll people by saying nonsensical stuff. Of course, that could just be me.

It's too bad this won't be featured via live stream. 

Welp, this was underwhelming 

To be honest I wasn't expecting much from this. Let's not forget that the game is less than 3 months away. This is the last drought we have to get through and then everyone's patience will be rewarded.

Back in 2015 this sort of gameplay news would have been major hype lol.
