Comparing the original footage of DDD, to its Final Version.

Posted

 

From 1:08 forward, it shows the gameplay of DDD in its early stages and here are some differences:

 

1. The Flowmotion attacks and dashing are much more Fast paced

1:36 RIKU'S BOUNCING OF THE WALLS LIKE A MANIAC, that and his Flowmotion attacks are different

 

2. Sora and Riku have their original KH 1 clothes

3. The Command Bar on the left side looks like the Re:Coded version, rather than the BBS version of the commands that we got in the final product.

4. The commands are used by using the B button.

 

And then the cutscenes themselves:

 

1. Riku is surrounded by Heartless in Traverse Town, and then sees Multiple Sora's falling from the sky.

2. Sora running through the Bell Tower in La Cite des Cloches and dodging the Ringing Bells and then jumping from the high point of the Bell Tower and falling all the way to the bottom in first person view.

3. Riku finding Ansem(But no Young Xehanort) in TT.

4. Sora finding Xemnas(Again no Young Xehanort) in TT.

 

From what ive seen, there were major improvements compared to the original footage. Im guessing Nomura thought the 3DS had only the same capabilities as the Normal DS and made it look more like Re:Coded for that reason, but when he saw other 3DS games, he realized the 3DS was capable of much more, and made things look more refined like BBS.

 

But from the cutscenes, i would've loved to see where the story would have gone in its early stages rather than the story we got in the final product. I also would've loved to play as Sora and Riku in the KH1 clothes aswell, but oh well.

 

Maybe once a 3DS Emulator is created, we can find the Beta/Unused things for KH 3D, and make hacks of it.

 

What do you think of the final version compared to the Beta Stages?

I would've liked twilight thorn but other than that I'm glad it didn't turn out like the beta.

Yeah, the icons and the like look much better in the Final than in the Beta.

 

I wouldv'e like to see how the Story originally would've turned out considering how so many things are different in the Beta than the Final Version. Man, once someone makes a 3DS Emulator, we'll probably find many unused things, considering how Drastic the Final and Beta versions are from each other. That and then the Hacks, which'll be AMAZING. I would love to fight Young Xehanort and Ansem as Sora, and fighting Xemnas as Riku. It'll take awhile though before someone finishes an Emulator, which sucks.

There were a lot of changes. ._. Of course, there are a lot of things changed in Kingdom Hearts games, from beta to release.

Very interesting. I wonder what it would have been like if they kept the first version.

I agree. Maybe when a 3DS emulator is made, we will finally find all of the Unused content in DDD that we don't know about right now.

I believe all KH games have unused content. Maybe KH3 might reveal all of the behind the scenes stuff and extra stuff that has happened in the story.

I know but just imagine what 3D has ATM that we can't find out about yet. I mean it would probably have an unused Twilight Thorn battle(Screenshots show that it would've been fought in 3D in the Beta), more unused Cutscenes, maybe unused worlds and maybe some Unused Keyblades.

Absolutely. They might have been unused, but they always have juicy content.

Exactly. Its too bad Nintendo has a real grudge against Cheats and pirating, so that'll make DDD so much harder to hack than BBS.

Yeah, but oh well. Everything is resolved in KH3. That's the only hope.

Also, it looks like riku's default keyblade is soul eater rather than way to dawn.

Probably Way To Dawn, since Soul Eater changed to Way To Dawn after Ansem TW's machine to find out data about hearts exploded and destroyed the rest of Ansem inside of Riku. I think thats when it happened.

i think it would have been interesting to play with flowmotion the way that it was originally intended to be played and basically go around everywhere with it, sora bounced off everything and slid on everything so we shoulda been able to do that too lol. moving uber fast would have made it fun too lol. they shoulda made a configuration thing to change the speed of flowmotion for us
