the what?

What developer would you like to see appear during the Kinda Funny Games Showcase?

I understand it wasn't really their fault, but I'm still a little salty from Kinda Funny's last interaction with Kingdom Hearts. What a sheet show that turned out to be. No one should show up on the show. I wouldn't force any company to go through that mess.

The Xbox store has updated recently showing off the approximate file size for Kingdom Hearts III on the Xbox One. The digital version of the game will require approximately 35.81gb of free space on the hard drive. The store doesn't mention anything about day one patches being included in this total. When you pre-order the digital version of Kingdom Hearts III on the Xbox Store, you are given a code to receive the Xbox One Keyblade. View full article

You have to figure it depends on how well they optimize the game too. File size can differ drastically from one game to another. I mean Zelda BotW was like 14 gbs and that game was massive.

oh my god it's been literal years this is amazing fgfhgfhgfgg

I think it's the materials that are used to make these products. I actually have the Oblivion keyblade as a necklace and thankfully it hasn't broken yet due to how pathetic the materials are.

Please no! I hope Square Enix can fit all of it on the disk. I really don't want a repeat of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy fiasco.

The smaller file size sometimes has less to do with how long a game is and more with optimization and compression. Not to mention, Persona 5 apparently had a very small download file size even though players can reach to a 100+ playtime in it. Don't know if this is still true or not. I'm in no way worried if it does have small file size. The claim that Kingdom Hearts 3 will be 40-50 hours long when finished and 80+ hours for post-game content that was made a while ago is actually false as Square Enix didn't know how long the game would be at the time and never stated that it would be this long. If anything, it's a fair estimate on how long it's actually going to be. I think it will at least be somewhat longer than KH 2. With how many characters they've shoved into KH 3, I wouldn't doubt if it's at least around 60 hours long base game. Of course this less of a fact and more of an opinion on my part.

C'est tres bien

I think fans were overexaggerating when they said the main story would be 100+ hours. Nomura said the story would be around 40 hours I believe and over 80 for 100%. Cutscenes can potentially be condensed quite a bit in size and 80+ hours for full completion probably also includes all of the mini games. A lot of them seem to be rather simple and likely won't take much space. To be honest, I don't know where people still take the notion from that the main story will take 100 hours. First of all, that isn't a good idea because the replay value decreases if the main games takes too long in my opinion. Of course they could fit that much content into KH3 with how many characters there are and give more insight on loads of things, but I don't think that was ever a real possibility. I don't see many games which have such a long main story. (And it doesn't count to the time to get distracted by side quests either.) Another thing is that they have to be compared to other games. We can't compare them to the recent vast open world games since despite being larger, KH is still mainly story-driven and doesn't focus too much on exploration and all those extras which make people sink hundreds of hours into the games. Apart from the mini games and the occasional treasure chest, there likely won't be a plethora of things to do but fight enemies since it's still mostly a hack'n'slay type of game. There's no hunting, no survival, no completely seamless open world, so I think roughly 36GB still translates well to 40 hours of main story. There are lots of games which have similar or even smaller file sizes despite being rather large in terms of content. Persona 5, Monster Hunter World, the new Dragon Quest, etc. all have smaller file sizes if I recall correctly. I can't say I don't have any doubts either after all this talk about having difficulties to fit the game onto the disc because it was so large. I do fear story-related content was cut to adjust to that and so they can make more money from DLC. But the first insecurity I had was quickly debunked by seeing how many other games have this kind of file size without losing in quality. It's not the best idea to compare it to open world games and those which already had considerably large patches though as I've seen some do. It might be smaller than some people imagine but as you said, it will likely still be bigger than any other KH game before. More than file size or what could be added (which, to be honest, will always be a lot in terms of KH since there are always more side stories and character relationships/character development to explore), it's important that it will still be a complete experience, although it might not be as long-lasting as some people hope it will be and won't be able to address absolutely everything we want to see. In that regard, KH3 will only be able to lose. But better that than letting it drag on and on with needless extensions or way too many cutscenes in a small amount of time. (Like in KH2 where you sometimes couldn't take 5 steps without being assaulted by a cutscene. Don't get me wrong, I love story and everything, but some were just too much without giving the player some time to actually play the game.)

I think they mean huge in comparsion to the other games. (They were able to fit the all the other games except 2.8 onto one disc)

no crash. no spyro. no ape escape. no analog. no buy.

id love to see one for lea

*sigh* I feel like the answer that was given is so lukewarm? I mean I get some of the reasons, sure, but I feel like the cross promotion reason for Disney properties is a little weak as an argument. I get that Disney loves to do it, but do they have to? I think it would be better if Disney cross promoted Kingdom Hearts instead, heck it doesn't have to be a whole song and dance about it, just something as minor as sea salt ice cream at the ice cream parlor would be enough. Also the fact that the Keepers of the Magic Kingdom card game at Magic Kingdom was originally called Codename:Kingdom Hearts says a lot, that and the fact that Shinji Hashimoto said he's going to fight for more park appearances for the franchise would support the fact that Disney and Square are willing to do SOMETHING more than just a dumb pin, but it is going to take a lot, and a leap of faith too.

im one to talk, i was 150% convinced looool but yeah he wasn't even in the country

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Always good to see 2010ers still active. Interviews is still here, it's just not linked yet as the content sections are a WIP: https://www.kh13.com/interviews/ It's not a really a priority right now but never say never.

Wow at the redesign. Good work. Rob is a genwunner (unofficially since he didn't sign up until 2010), so seeing the site from back then is nostalgic. Damn. Time moves fast. Rob was in his 90's back then. Thanks for adding the easy search option for the pages on the homepage. Now Rob can search for what he wants even quicker. Also, Rob has faith that the interviews section will return. Any chance for a dark theme?

Do you mean your private messages? These are still processing from the old site (85% done so far), so hopefully when this is complete, you'll have the messages back. If they're still not back in a day or two then please message me and I'll recover them for you.

I hope we can have a Night Mode in the future.

Is the instant messaging gone? I can't find it anywhere....

This is the new revamp, it's not going to go back to the old one man We're all just gonna have to get used to it

Hey Daniel would you mind changing my name to "Shin Megami Tensei"? I'll confirm it next week. Thanks.

Sorry, but I like your current name better. We have enough users with Kairi and Namine part of their username lol, we don't need another one to blend into the crowd...

Thanks mate! Welcome back to you too. And yeah, it sure looks like it

Do I feel old. I actually remember seeing the site for the first time in its first version. That was an extremely long time ago. It has been a journey all these years later.

I don't like this new look... It's a bit confusing... Bring the old one back Edit: Another reason not to like this update: It took away all my conversations with Transcendent Key!!! We were really getting some good ideas for a Coco world in a future KH game! I hope I can access them again and pick where our conversation left off!
