My Thoughts on the Trailer and Hopes for KH3

[Elizabeth Mendes 31]

First, i'll start with this: I loved everything about the trailer, even the glitchy things.

 

Why you ask?

 

Now, i'm going answer this from a cinematographic, graphical and presentiment point of view. Lets talk about the graphics for a second. They're beautiful, but not complete. They have to add in final lighting effects on the characters, extra shading and graphic revamps for outdated models that they transferred over from previous games. The character motions and emotions, they are glitchy and dull, which show that the game is still in development, meaning hold your horses they aren't even close to done. Now, in depth details of the trailer, in parts. The first 15 seconds, the show us what we are all used too, the basics. A little hack n slash and about two magic fire balls from Sora and one from Donald. The next bit, they introduce the "Guns"(the Two-Shoot Blaster), something new that we haven't seen before. Its a weapon that seems to be based off of the "Command System  from BBS. From what I've seen, the weapon looks like it changes shape from a regular old pistol, to what looks like a cross bow, to the shape that is most screen captured:

 

Now, here's where things get even more interesting. They show you a ship that is is rocking back and forth, then they reveal that Sora, Donald and Goofy are on the ship, using it to damage and kill heartless. Then, the ship spins in circles at a dizzying speed (Poor Sora, gonna throw up after that) and it damages the heartless even more. Then they cut to Sora, Donald and Goofy on a train, using it to help fight the Rock Titan from Hercules. Now, the sky in Twilight Town is unusually dark, which leads me to believe that either a) they made the sky darker so that the light on the train and ship seem brighter for the trailer or b ) The "summon" or "Limits" actually do that themselves in game, to make the lights seem brighter. I do not think they're implementing a day and night cycle or at least in Twilight Town, because Twilight Town is in perpetual twilight, The sun that is set, but is never gone. (Twilight: the soft glowing light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, caused by the refraction and scattering of the sun's rays from the atmosphere.)

 

Also, i believe that these are just "Disney attractions", because one is a Disney Ride and  and the other is a Disney Float based on this:

 

The Pirate Ship one is simple enough, it looks like the pirate ship from Tokyo Disney's Electric Parade:

 

even though it moves like one of these:

 

Now, Big Magic Mountain looks nothing like the Tokyo Disney's Train in the Electric Parade:

 

but looks almost exactly like Big Thunder Mountain but lit up:

 

It even moves in a way similar to the ride it's self. This leads me to believe that if they keep these features, it will be more of a mix between rides and floats, and they'll all be lit up, because it would be weird if only a few of them weren't.

 

Now, my Hopes for KH3.

 

• Don't Leave anything unanswered! I don't want anything from the Xehanort Saga to be taken over to the next Saga. >_>
• A lot of new worlds, and only, like 3 old ones being brought back.
• No Romantic anything. I love the friendships in KH way more then any pairing that could come from the game.
• Happy Ending! because i'm a sucker for those. ;D

and that's pretty much it. I'm trying not to expect a lot from KH3 so that when i play it, i wont be severely disappointed by unrealistic expectations. This is what i have so far, if you seen any mistakes, please tell me!

I do think the train and ship/boat are summons but regardless, it's too early for everyone to dissect everything bc a lot of stuff gets changed or deleted altogether from early trailers. It's fun to see but not to take too seriously. As for tying things up, Nomura did say that he wanted to tie up everything from the Xehanort Saga so thats a definite.

There shall be no loose ends and no stone unturned excluding the Secret Trailer which inevitable. I wanna dissect and speculate but then I remember Nomura could do a complete gameplay overhaul that will leave us all dumbfounded after the fact but I hope he keeps the Disney Attractions and we see more things like Two-Shoot Blasters because it seems like every wielder has had a gimmick or special trait to them and I can't think of anyone better than Sora to wield the almighty Disney Magic

Yeah, that's why i said, if they keep these features, cause you never know with game developers. And thanks, i haven't kept up with the Nomura interviews, so i don't know half the things he wants.

I agree, i like the Two-Shoot Blasters, because they don't look ridiculously OP and makes Sora feel more Special/Badass. I also like the idea of personalized weapons for each character, other than keyblades. Think about it, Lea can use his Chakrams and Keyblade, Sora can use the guns and Keyblade. All of the 7 lights could get one or maybe just the main characters, you never know.

If that happens where everyone who is a Keyblade Wielder of Light gets secondary weapons I'll absolutely lose it
