    Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last posted a meaningful topic on here it feels nice to be writing on here again. First off I would like to say I like the new site design and layout however I'm not too keen that I'm now over 300 posts overall because they've combined my posts with my status updates and replies together. I was around 275 posts so I was hoping to have exactly 300 posts when KH3 came out to round things off nicely but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Anyway, today I would like to share with you my opinion on whether a KH3 trailer will be shown at the Xbox X018 showcase tomorrow. I believe there will be one shown because firstly Shinji Hashimoto will be at the event and whenever he goes to conventions he's more than likely there to reveal big information about the game. But I feel the bigger reason and more importantly is that Square Enix have been promoting KH3 every single week since E3 and the promotion, tweets and posts haven't stopped since then. Every single convention since E3 Kingdom Hearts has been there with demos, live streams and new information. KH3 will be playable at the event and I would be very surprised if it doesn't showcase a trailer during the presentation. What's more is that the event is being live streamed and I can't see Square Enix passing up this opportunity with potentially millions of people watching to promote KH3 with a new trailer. Square Enix have had a huge presence at all major events and I can't see this being any different. To capitalise on this I think we're going to be getting not just a new trailer but a new world reveal. It's been a decent amount of time since the Big Hero 6 reveal and this is the last chance to promote KH3 to Xbox fans. With the event being broadcast worldwide there's no better way to do this than a new world reveal. This may be our final Disney world shown and personally I would show the last world here rather than The Game Awards or Jump Festa to target Xbox fans. We may get more Disney reveals after this but I think for The Game Awards and Jump Festa they could show the original worlds that will have a deeper focus on the story. This would be my approach if I was marketing the game. What do you guys think of this; do you think KH3 will be at the presentation; how would you choose to show the remaining content for KH3? Thanks for reading.

    Also Hunchback dealt with it (as well as a host of other things). Not to mention some of the stuff Kingdom Hearts already deals with. I don't think Disney would be against it.

    Luna, if only because she needed it. From all the heroines from any FF, Luna is not close to being on top for me. I would also wish to learn about what happened with Aranea on her worst day. Too bad we will never know.

    Hello. I wanna talk about vanitas being saved. It's literally impossible on all ends. I can understand storytelling for characters, villians redemption, and forgiveness on your own terms. This characters were already here. That's fine. But vanitas is a in-lore character. He is literally darkness personified. Not a heartless like ansem:sod, but a pure dark being. He will always be bad because he represent negative personality and emotions. In conclusion, he shouldn't and never be saved. It's just not gonna happen. Tell me what you think.

    There was an issue in the Poll of the Day forum where none of the polls could be replied to since the website upgrade a couple of weeks ago. This is fixed now!

    I'm pretty sure Sakurai still gets the last word. He just has to choose from a pool of characters given to him by Nintendo.

    I wanted Luna the most, mainly because she needed it the most. FFXV is a really good game, but it's stuff like the cancellations that make me think less of it when I remember it

    Welcome to KH13's trailer analysis for the new Kingdom Hearts III tangled trailer from Lucca Comics and Games 2018! The trailer is all about Tangled and showing off more of Kingdom of Corona; so Kingdom Hearts III and Tangled fans, let’s take a look! The trailer video starts with Kingdom Hearts III's ESRB rating; it is rated E10+, meaning it will have content that is generally suitable for ages 10 and up, in this case including fantasy violence and alcohol reference (which could possibly appear in the Pirates of the Caribbean world like it did in Kingdom Hearts II). The first moment of the actual trailer took me by surprise as the cutscene of Sora and company being surprised when walking towards Rapunzel's tower in the E3 2015 and Jump Festa 2016 trailer has changed. In this trailer, Sora looks more surprised by the appearance of the tower through facial expressions and voice acting. The characters, which were now running into the open, come to a halt at the sight of the tower. They and environment look more vibrant and realistic now than in previous trailers. The camera also zooms in at speed on the tower, giving the audience/player a more rushed sense of adventure. Sora, Donald, and Goofy slow down at the sight of Rapunzel's tower (Lucca C&G 2018 trailer) Rapunzel's tower (Jump Festa 2016 trailer) Rapunzel's tower, (Lucca C&G 2018 trailer) We can now hear the field music for Kingdom of Corona playing in the background, with a touch of the distinctive Kingdom Hearts playful sounds that you can find in Yoko Shimomura's other works in the series. The next scene shows us Rapunzel jumping from the tower and standing on the beautiful green grass. It’s so great to see little parts of the environment in high quality as it makes it look very close to the original movie in terms of graphics. Rapunzel's hair, the most complex aspect of her character design, is beautifully depicted in the escape scene, emulating its original softness and elegant physics. The scene of Rapunzel stepping on grass for the first time captures this emotional moment of her freedom seamlessly. Rapunzel stepping on grass Tangled's story is made clearer in Kingdom Hearts III throughout the trailer as we know Sora and company have to escort Rapunzel to the Kingdom to see the lights. This is a great choice of narrative as it will let the players revisit the nostalgic moments from the original movie. After finally being free from the tower, Rapunzel goes to touch the giant dandelion Heartless and all of the small dandelion Heartless pop up in a group. This is same scene as shown in the previous Big Hero 6 TGS 2018 trailer, where Rapunzel goes to curiously touch the cute puffy being. Once again these Heartless also look better and more realistic than in the previous trailers. We also get another very detailed look at the white puff close up in this scene. Dandelion Heartless The English voice acting in this scene is also something that stands out as it is hard to tell if this is Mandy Moore's voice (original voice of Rapunzel) or someone else, because it does sound like her. Mandy Moore also voiced Final Fantasy character Aerith in Kingdom Hearts, so it would be interesting to see her return for Kingdom Hearts III. Currently, it is unconfirmed if Mandy Moore will be reprising her role as Rapunzel. Once again the Nobody creatures that looks like Marluxia are shown off but this time it is clearer what they look like and how they attack. This particular creature makes a little dance characteristic of its species, showing itself off and how far production has come to bring enemies to life. The animation of this Nobody is also appealing as it’s very similar to Marluxia in terms of how it grabs its scythe. The flower theme that Marluxia and his Nobodies (and Hearltess) bring to the world matches with the original story's theme and environment perfectly, as if they were meant to be! One of Marluxia's Nobodies Finally we are able to hear more of confirmed voice actor Zachary Levi reprising his role as Flynn Rider in this cutscene. This scene is also interesting as Goofy doesn’t lift his ear in the English version, but lifts his ear to listen in the Japanese version. Flynn says Sora and company are more cut out for combat, meaning they can tag along with Rapunzel and him through the Kingdom of Corona. It is unclear whether Flynn is hiding his true intentions from them, but it can be assumed he is. Sora, Donald, and Goofy listen to Flynn (English trailer) Goofy lifts his ear to hear Flynn better (Japanese trailer) The scene quickly transitions to the Nobody attacking Sora as he dodge rolls away. Sora instinctively summons his Keyblade with beautiful petals and light - it simply looks so pretty! Sora is wielding the Ever After; this could just be for show in the trailer, or maybe we could be able to obtain this Keyblade earlier rather then having to finish the world first like in previous Kingdom Hearts titles. Sora summoning Ever After We have always wanted to see all the animation for world logos in Kingdom Hearts III, and now we can finally see the Kingdom of Corona's beautiful logo animation. Rapunzel’s golden glowing hair is flowing out of the tower window to reveal the artwork and world name. Kingdom of Corona world logo animation From here on, gameplay footage beings, featuring the battle track from the Toy Box demo. The music is upbeat, making combat more enjoyable. Situation Commands are present; the most commonly seen throughout previous trailers is Mirage Staff and Blaster Blaze. Mirage Staff seems to be shown in larger areas throughout Kingdom of Corona and has a huge attack radius in the trailer; Blaster Blaze is also shown off, looking more improved since the last time we saw it. Two new Situation Commands, both green, have also appeared on the screen. Goofy Bombardier sounds like a link attack or limit with Goofy like in Kingdom Hearts II. The Tangled Twist command could be a link attack with Rapunzel. The Situation cCommands also change into a unique style along with the command deck in the world you’re in. Situation commands We can get a glimpse of the HUDs for Sora, Donald, Goofy, Rapunzel and Flynn in combat and non-combat. Flynn can be seen with low health, while Donald and Goofy are knocked out. Character HUDs Amongst all the combat an item drop can also be spotted that looks very similar to items dropped in Kingdom Hearts II, like lucid shards and other materials. Item drop Another interesting feature is a pointing sign as Sora and company are running through the forest. It is unclear and tricky to figure out what the sign says and is there for, but it could be a direction guide orpart of the scenery. The trailer then shows Rapunzel help Sora across the gap; the player may be able to use this mechanic creatively (rather than with clear directive) to overcome obstacles. A guiding sign on the roar This next important thing spotted is sure to grab your attention; there are two new Heartless in this trailer. Firstly, there is a Heartless with a red hat and bow in its hand, standing on a rock. It shoots blue arrows and has a circle around it with a green arrow on top. In the Japan version, Sora hits it and a crown symbol appears. This Heartless is also unclear to see in the English version, but we do get a clearer view in the Japan version. A new archer Heartless The second new Heartless is even more interesting as we have never seen one like this before. While it is not shown in the English trailer, in the Japan trailer it is wearing a type of blue-white ball gown with a hat and two pink feathers. Its appearance could be related to dresses worn by characters in Tangled. It is one elegant and classy ladylike Heartless because of the way it holds its bag up after Rapunzel hits it! Another new Heartless Gameplay showing new Heartless A short glimpse of the Magic Carousel attraction can be seen, similar to the rest of the theme park rides including the tea cups ride, roller coaster and pirate ship Attractions seen first in the E3 2015 Trailer. It also shows the excellent score when a chain of ten is achieved; it looks to be more powerful the higher the score, as the notes come out from the Carousel and the Heartless are flung back. Magic Carousel An Item pick up of a Lucid Stone has also been seen while the Carousel is active. The layout is very similar to Kingdom Hearts 0.2 item obtained alert. Item picked up Memorable scenes are also present from Tangled as Rapunzel is unsure (and then sure) of continuing her journey to the Kingdom. Rapunzel is brought to life as she shows her disbelief at her own bravery. Sora and Flynnlook up as Rapunzel feels guilty while leaning on the tree. Goofy watches as Rapunzel affirms she is never going back home while rolling down on the grass. Flynn and Sora lean casually against a tree as Rapunzel swings around it with her hair, perfectly overlapping her swing attack in the trailer. It's wonderful how Sora, Donald, and Goofy have been included into this iconic scenes from the movie. They are very nostalgic as Rapunzel's inner conflict is one of the most classic and comical parts of the movie and amongst Disney animated movie scenes. "I'm going back. I am never going back! Best. Day. Ever!" Just before the ending of the trailer, Sora starts using the previously shown Situation Command called Splash Run, which was shown in the E3 2018 showcase trailer . Spash Run Finally, there are two other interesting things in the Japanese version of the trailer. First of all, the combat is based in a different area in one of the scenes, allowing us to actually see the rock quarry for the first time, which is where one of the escape scenes take place in the movie. It is unknown if this is a playable area or just a part of the background; it is also still a mystery if The Snuggly Duckling place will be a playable area or have a scene in Kingdom Hearts III. The rock quarry The second interesting thing is by far the most puzzling gameplay feature in the Japanese trailer. When Sora does the final attack for Mirage Rod/Staff (different names in each trailer), just in the bottom right corner is Flynn, Rapunzel and something we haven't seen before.It is unclear if this is a horse, another new creature, or something else. What do you think it might be? Mirage Rod We have come to the conclusion of KH13's analysis of the Kingdom Hearts III Lucca Comics & Games 2018 trailer! We hope you enjoyed every detail of it. Thank you for tagging along, and if we’ve missed anything (or if you figure out what that mysterious creature is), please let us know in the comments below! View full article

    Admittedly, I'm none too familiar with the rating criteria in each country but considering that it will likely be rated USK 12 here, that's not so far from T... Though to be honest, apart from it being difficult as a Disney property, it's also something that might be bad for KH. The franchise will need to reel in new gamers and due to Disney and its general themes, the franchise also targets children as potential players. By making a game inaccessible to them and only for ages 13 and up, they could miss out on some profit to be made. They will need the younger generation because if they want to continue the series, some people might not be interested anymore. After all, it's 16 years old and doesn't need to cater to only the older fans. I also don't really see a reason to change the rating to T to be honest. Kingdom Hearts is the prime example of a game that can have a compelling story without needing to resort to themes and visuals that fall under the T category and shows that a game can still have some level of profoundness despite being available to a wide audience. I mean, Sora stabbed himself in the first game. There's not really much of a need to go further in terms of violence because they will use whatever they can. I also think it might lose some of its charm with a different rating. Not necessarily of course but if they try to make it too mature and adjust too much to older fans wanting the dark, gloomy and often superficial themes, it might not be what people love about it anymore.

    Blame EA for that Battlefront 2 fiasco. Of course it's sad that KH Union Cross is banned in Belgium but loot boxes must be destroyed in anyway possible.

    Question about Critical Mode in KH3!

    Nope, otherwise people would be talking about it. I'm expecting it to be available out of the box, since they're harkening back to KH2's design, mainly the FM version.

    I don't think that's what the symbolism was implying. The black feather he turns and sees falling to the ground was probably a reference to Genesis, a character with one black wing from Crisis Core. (I assume the reason Zack was included in BBS was because he was the main character of Crisis Core which was also released on the PSP.) Zack and Genesis both had a dream of "becoming heroes", making it appropriate for him to also appear at the Coliseum. The way I saw it, Zack left to pursue him. ...If anything, it makes me wonder if Genesis was supposed to make an appearance in KH. That character has such a weird history. lol The ending of Dirge of Cerberus featured Genesis reawakening, implying that there would be a sequel, and yet there never was. ........It would be SO weird if Genesis returned as a boss in the Coliseum in KH3.

    Luna needed it. Out of every character, she felt like the one who needed more time onscreen and would benefit greatly from a solo DLC. Out of sheer want, I'd love an Iris the Demon Slayer DLC, just for giggles and seeing how she looked/evolved after the time-skip.

    93 missions indeed!

    You right ITzDarthLordRevan. The mission count is 93. However, I guess this is ignoring the challenge missions since those are just the regular missions but harder.
