I can't finish DDD because I'm slow and Drop way too much

[OBJECTION MAN]

You should, because KH3 will be hard to understand without DDD.

KH3 will probably just be hard to understand.

[Phi]

You're not wrong.

I can't finish DDD because I'm slow and Drop way too much

I got by via creating a deck with Drop-Me-Nots, and using them when my drop gauge got a little too low for comfort out of battle before switching back to the main deck.

... I wish I thought of that.

KH3 is still in development, we'll see how it looks in the end.

Back Cover actually looks a bit more complete, in terms of lighting. That being said, KH3 can't be below KH2 when it's factually superior on a technical level.

Visually, at the moment, KH3 doesn't appeal to me. The background and world graphics I don't have a problem with... they're beautiful and really feel Disney-like with the details and how massive the worlds are now.

It's the character models I have issues with. I know they're not entirely done with them but they look so dark and clay-like especially for Micky, Donald, and Goofy. Heck, to me, the FMV from the older KH games looked way better to me than the KH3 graphics.

I do hope they make the character models more cartoonish a bit or bright like how the KH2 character models were. I could understand for Aqua's case as she's in the Realm of Darkness, but it feels off to me somehow.

So far gameplay from Aqua's story in 2.8 looks amazing and I am interest in that Back Cover movie. I will look forward to KH3 greatly when it comes out. Here's to hoping the Drive Forms return! I loved those forms.

It is a bit funky that now Aqua is mixing KH2 combat rules with BBS style changes given that the BBS cast and DDD tried to make the Command Deck almost seem like something only those formally trained in Keyblades would use, but hey, a gameplay preview's a gameplay preview, and Sora will be ditching Command Decks too.

Watch it while it's hot

That buttery smooth 60fps!

[OBJECTION MAN]

That looks hot. [tornado fang] it, I need a PS4.

[VirusChris]

I will say the gameplay is amazing in 0.2 and the background is gorgeously beautiful and is the right direction for the series and the framerate is smooth too.

I will enjoy KH3 when it comes out and I do hope there's more to the Aqua story than that, but it must be. Seeing as that's a demo.

Call me when you can make sense of it.

Okay time for a new theme song KH.

That being said I want this..looks soooo good.

If history repeats itself, KH3 will introduce a new theme song, since 1 and 2 had their own themes.

The larger issue with Utada Hikaru not writing any new songs is because she decided to focus on her family in 2010. Although, there was a rumor before that stating that Squeenix wasn't paying her enough, so she left.

In any case, Utada returned to music and recently reported that she's recording a new song, which COULD be a new theme for KH3.

We'll have to wait and see.

Oh, and have a dubbed trailer:

Good point, either way I'll get this, a new adventure and the 3DS game that doesn't cramp my hand? Sold. Plus dull VA aside Aqua was always the most fun to play of the three BBS heros.

Her Blue themed look has nothing to do with my bias.

Goofy's clothes and posture make him look buff for some reason.

"Gawrsh pal, better check yourself before you wreck yourself a-hyuck!"

During an interview with Dengeki PlayStation, Nomura revealed that the cover artwork for Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, 2.5 ReMIX, & HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue all connect together as a hidden message for Kingdom Hearts 3.

Nomura: There are actually two secrets about the illustrations from [KH1.5] until [KH2.8]. Extremely attentive KH fans might have already discovered them, but one is that Sora's movements change from sitting, to standing, to walking. One more is that when you line up the three illustrations, you'll notice that they show the flow of time with changes in the sky. [KH1.5] is sunset becoming night, [KH2.5] is the middle of the night, and [KH2.8] is night breaking into dawn. Those three illustrations have a message regarding the final chapter, [KHIII].

Nomura: We worried a long time about the package art for [KH2.5], and we worked on trying to connect the three productions in a continual manner. It seems like there were a lot of people who figured out Sora's movements, but there were not very many people who noticed the connection between the skies. There are two meanings to “sora” (I.E. one being the protagonist's name, and the other meaning “sky”).

0.2 Opening Movie

[Phi]

As we don't have any news for #KHIII, Nomura-san would like to offer everyone a sneak peek at Guard Form - a new Drive Form!

This power form was edited as it is the Keyblade from a world that hasn't been released yet, so it has changed into a hammer shape.

The Guard Form shield mentioned earlier was transformed from the Keyblade of Herc's Shield which has been shown previously.

Surprised it wasn't posted that the PS4's getting a 1.5 + 2.5 combo release with all their content packaged together ontop of a claim on their Japanese twitter that the games will be in full 60 FPS like Dream Drop Distance in the 2.8 release.

The games were also 60fps in the PS3 collections.

[Mirby]

True but it's nice that they'll remain that way. No reason why they wouldn't but still lol
