At precisely 01:47pm EST on 19th September 2016 the KH13 news team provided us with the information that the Osaka team within Square Enix Business Division 3 have greatly improved the graphics of Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep: -A Fragmentary Passage- from the E3 2016 to the Tokyo Game Show 2016 demo footage that was captured off screen by GameXplain and Gamersyde Official respectively. Here I have put both pieces of footage side by side so you can clearly see the comparison in lighting and overall graphic improvements for yourself. Enjoy nerds!

Rip Memory-Terra

His time was too short

Character models TGS

1:17 E3

Well unlike the Luna comparison from TGS to now, the physics seem to remain unchanged. The skin shaders are improved though - glad to see the characters are less reflective of light.

Yeah, the change is noticeable, and I like how the character models look in the TGS rendition of the demo!  I can't wait to have 2.8 already!!! X_X

 

Also Snow, what's up with the really small lettering font? X3

can't believe they released the E3 footage looking like that. i mean yikes.

 

i guess thats what happens when the loudest part of your fanbase relentlessly badgers you about not putting out a new trailer. they want a trailer? "well they'll get a trailer, even it it's unfinished."

 

also is it just me or is the dialogue for Aqua a bit....off? something about the lines just hit me as "That doesn't sound quite right." idk this is the first time i'm actually seeing the E3 gameplay footage so i never realized how strange her lines were.

 

now i've got the horrible feeling that 0.2 will just be Aqua waxing poetic through the Realm of Darkness for an hour.

I think 0.2 wasn't UE4 before aswell. Everything is lighter.

Might be a reason for the delay.

At the very least, I'm glad that we have objective evidence to prove that graphical improvements have been made.

Her voice acting has improved, there's more emotion too it, which is good.

Trying to read that font like

 

Aqua looks good, Terra still looks ugly.

I wrote the post here, then pasted it into a word document before my laptop turned off. Then when I pasted it back in the text must have changed

The VA of Aqua posted a photo of herself on instagram doing some recording work in August. So I'm guessing they got her to do it again and they probably thought the same that she did'nt sound right like she did back in 2010. So I'm glad they picked up on this too and getting her to record again.

They left Luminous for Unreal since 2014. Highly doubt this was a different engine. The graphics are just rendered differently because of the way it's lighted.

Ah, I see!  Anyways though, the point is, I was able to understand what you wrote!

 

But yeah, I want 2.8 so badly!!!! D:

What they showed at TGS is much improved compared to E3.
