Hey there everyone, how's it going!?  So then, we are all hot off the heels of Square Enix's conference, and I have to say, I was blown away by the pleasant surprise that was the Kingdom Hearts III trailer!  I knew in my heart that Square would reveal a trailer to us, and while I was caught off guard at Sony's conference, Square's conference delivered the sucker punch surprise of a trailer, and I couldn't have been happier!  Gahh, good God, this is just too much!!!! THE HYPE IS REAL!!! X_X

 

Anyways, with this new trailer, let's discuss its aspects.  First, let's get to the gameplay!  From what we saw, the new gameplay features are out of this world, the combat looks slick, and Flowmotion looks like it's even more fluid than in Dream Drop Distance!  The Attraction Flows look stunning, and the Keyblade Transformations are just godly!  And from the glimpse we got at Olympus Coliseum, it looks like KHIII will have the biggest set of worlds we've yet come across!!! Twilight Town and Rapunzel's world were also shown, implying that we've now got three worlds in KHIII so far!  Good God, the new Heartless, they look so amazing, and it looks like they'll be quite more powerful!  I also really love Sora's new attire!  It's such a good mix of his KHII and KH3D gear, and his hair looks slightly shorter, making him look a tad bit older!  Donald and Goofy look great, and although everything in the trailer was perfect, one thing that got to me a bit was the HUD.  I much prefer the anime drawn HUD we've had for the previous games, so hopefully that's fixed, and if not, then it's okay, I can live with that!

 

As for story, that conversation between Young Xehanort and Young Eraqus is what Nomura had confirmed some time ago would be the intro cutscene in KHIII, right?  Anyhow, it seems that they are very deep in conversation in terms of the Keyblade War!  I absolutely love the chess board, and I wonder if it'll appear in the game besides in the cutscene where the two young masters are talking?  And on the subject of them, can we assume that they are in The Land Of Departure, or are they in an entirely different world?  Could this be the world where they were trained by their Master, which we've yet to see?  Something that I also found curious is the fact that a miniature version of Xehanort's Keyblade was hanging up in some piece of architecture.  Was that just a reference for us, the fans?  Or will that hold some kind of important value?  AND OMG, OUR FIRST GLIMPSE AT YOUNG ERAQUS!!!  He looks so badass, and rocking the samurai style hair!  Something I also noticed is that Young Xehanort's hair looks slightly different!  If you notice, he has bangs covering his forehead!  Also, I'm wondering....could we be bearing witness to more conversations between Xehanort and Erqaus as we play the game?  Like flashbacks peppered in throughout the story!  Or could it be that the intro cutscene/possible tutorial be the only time we'll see these two young masters?  GAHHH, WHAT MORE IS THERE!!!!???

 

Now then, on to my final point!  This...actually doesn't concern the E3 trailer, but a trailer that someone uploaded on Youtube...someone who seemed to be in some theater room, trying his/her best to try and hide his/her camera so that the guards wouldn't see him/her. From what I could hear, the ones speaking here were Young Xehanort, Sora and old man Xehanort himself!  This is what they said!

 

Young Xehanort: No longer is this a battle of light and darkness...

 

Xehanort: No, it is a battle of will.

 

Sora: Don't think that you can get away with this!

 

Xehanort: The boy I once was, once belonged in the island.  Finally, I have met my fate...

 

After those words, the music swells up, then the Kingdom Hearts III logo flashes, and then there's a RELEASE WINDOW!!!  AND IT SAYS...WINTER 2016!!!  I don't know what to make of this!!!  Is this real???  Is this fake???  It can't possibly be fake though, because if you could hear Xehanort's voice, it was Leonard Nimoy voicing him!  LEONARD NIMOY, BLESS HIS SOUL!  Could this mean that Bill Farmer was right all those months ago?  Could it be that everyone is done recording?  Because Square quickly tried covering things up...and think about it, it could make sense!  Maybe Leonard Nimoy voiced all his lines as Xehanort, and maybe he appears in the Non-Disney worlds, while his subordinates appear in every Disney world!  Gah, I don't even know what I'm saying anymore!  The point is, it sounded like Leonard Nimoy!!!  I could link the trailer, but I don't know if the mods will remove it from my topic, so I won't risk it, so just go to Youtube and type in: "Kingdom Hearts III release date."  Guys...winter 2016...could this be real???

 

GAHHH, MY MIND IS MUSH!!!! X_X

About the wide worlds...I just wanna say

two years ago...Just like I called the KH3 announcement. I'm done bragging for the rest of the year.

 

EDIT: In case you don't believe me... http://kh13.com/forum/topic/59267-open-world-in-khiii/

Okay I didn't actually call it, I asked about it. But I believed it would happen. Just saying.

I'm not sure of what to think when it comes to that other trailer but I can say that winter 2016 does seem like a logical release window

the maps are bigger

nothing confirms they're seamless open worlds

I'm curious if they've started voice recording for the game yet. And if they have, are we closer to getting the game than they're letting on? Because I remember Haley Joel Osment(The voice of Sora) saying in an interview that they do the voice recording for the games last, unless of course Square changed things this time around.

Man, if this IS a hoax, it is one damn good one. Those voices are spot on, 100%. I feel like in the video you can even spot a small glimmer of footage when the camera isn't as covered at some points.

 

All I can say is, I hope to God Leaonard Nimoy (RIP, you wonderful man) recorded his lines before his unfortunate death. He plays Xehanort perfectly. 

There's already a whole topic about this, and there's a pretty even split with people thinking it's real or fake. I have gut feeling it's real, though. No evidence but my gut! :lol:

Don't think so it was even taken down. I trust on december 2016.

Bummer, it turns out that the leaked release date is fake!  And here I thought it was real!!!  This makes me sad!!!

They might have recorded it first given Leonard Nimoy's condition.

That's true. Although Nomura said that they're now adding detail to the game as the worlds have all been selected, and I'm assuming made, and there was Bill Farmer's little statement back in March(I think it was around March) about him finishing the voice acting for the game, and if that is true they could already have the cutscenes made,which seem to be a large chunk of the Kingdom Hearts games.

This could be the case!  We can only hope!

This is also a good fact to mention!  It seems Bill Farmer's words might have held more meaning than we had previously thought!

I really hope he was telling  truth because I'm hoping for a release this year. I know everyone is saying it won't be out till December next year but if what he said is true and the voice acting is done, or at least most of it is, then they can finish up the details in the coming months considering they are probably working much faster now that they've gotten used to the new technology, and release it late this year or early next year.

Well, I really don't know.  All I know is that the game is closer than we think!

I really hope it is!
