according to nomura the kingdom shader engine will allow the games protagonist (SORA!!! ) to blend in to diffrent worlds aside from the original worlds (twilight town , travers town .etc) so i was thinking. how will sora look when he goes to worlds like pirates of the curibbian? then it hit me...what if the graphics of final fantasy 15 (which strives for realism) were to be implemented into kingdom hearts? i mean like during E3 the development team played around with the thought of making the graphics like ff15 but gave up because it would'nt fit the disney world environments. i agree with this but!!! what if the graphics became like ff15 when visiting worlds like tron , pirates of the curribbian & star wars?

 

NOTE: i know some of you think that kingdom hearts should just stick to the regular kingdom hearts graphics but with the new kingdom shader something like this is bound to happen.

 

NOMURA ON KINGDOM SHADER: We’re using a visual tool called “Kingdom Shader.” In the original world characters will retain their original textures, but the shader is adjusted by world, so we’ll have an unique visual style in each of Disney’s worlds.

I know. So don't say FF and KH'a graphics aren't comparable.

 

They aren't though. FF is more realistic while KH is more Disney.

You're showing us a screenshot from a very large game that begun development in 1999 compared to a smaller Disney themed game that was released in 2002.

i think they should keep with the more cartoony style.

KH's development started in very early 2000

I'll help you: FFX-2 2003/2004- KH2- 2005/2006 CGI graphics

Although I wish if they could use the latest graphic engine, but I think Kingdom Hearts should just be similar to the CG scenes graphics as the top limited graphic to be used.

ah so you noticed this as well

Although Nomura designs many characters, his style is very distinct. A lot of characters look alike. 

For example, Terra and Zack Fair faintly look alike. Sora(KHII) and Yuna too at certain angles

don't you mean shuyin?

don't you mean shuyin?

No I mean Yuna in certain angles in 2D Field Art.

Sora does not look like Shuyin or Tidus. Sora does sort of look like Noel. But, Sora's clothes have a similar palette as Shuyin.

lol i guess your right

They aren't though. FF is more realistic while KH is more Disney.

The issue is that, the KH worlds are Disney worlds, so at least for me, feels weird to have "realistic" Disney worlds, so in that case i would say no.

 

But then comes this, that makes me think

So for original worlds like Traverse Town or Radiant Garden it could work but that may destroy the overall "Disney feeling" of the game <- if this makes any sense so...

Maybe for the CGI it could be good but my overall think of it is that no, KH3 shouldn't have realistic worlds but they can really improve the cartoonish worlds with the new engine.

FFXV is running the Crystal Tools engine for its real-time graphics, the luminous engine for its lighting (Agni's Philosophy), and a game specific engine for the combat system. Kingdom Hearts 3 is running the Kingdom Shader. Both games are on different engines. Let me be clear here, Kingdom hearts 3 will NOT come out UNTIL FFXV is released so just hope FFXV is coming later next year

the kingdom shader is a modified version of the luminous engine so its really not that different.NOMURA: We used Luminous as [the] main engine for the game. We’re developing over-spec, so porting to both the PS4 and Xbox One is very similar. In addition to this, in the battle part of the trailer there was an issue with the tool so we had to use pre-rendered video, but if you look at the parts where it is animated  in real time there’s no big difference.
