Kingdom Hearts III Co-Director Tai Yasue interviewed by Xbox Wire about the enhancements of Xbox One X for Kingdom Hearts III
I played KH3 on an older PS4 model as well. Did the game ever crash on you? It crashed several times for me, especially in the Caribbean.

Kingdom Hearts III Co-Director Tai Yasue interviewed by Xbox Wire about the enhancements of Xbox One X for Kingdom Hearts III
It's probably just me, but this interview makes it seem like Xbox Wire are holding a (water) gun to his head. Xbox Wire: "Isn't Xbox One X the BEST console EVER!?!?" *points gun to Tai's temple Tai Yasue: "O-Oh yes! It is the bestest! Most supreme! A BEAST of a machine".

[Updated] KH13's Kingdom Hearts III review and video review
I have come to the conclusion that, for me, Kingdom Hearts 3 is the same as Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi. There is a lot of good, with only a little bad, but ultimately it couldn't make good on its own promises. Parts of KH3 are the best the series has ever been, while other parts are just head scratching from a story point of view. Nomura said that the ending would be divisive, and it is, but I don't think in the way that he intended. A theoretical "Final Mix DLC" could fix a fair amount of issues, but there are some aspects that are just too baked into the main game to be altered via DLC. Much like The Last Jedi, KH3 is a good solid story, but it just makes me not care about the future of the series. KH2, Days, BBS, Coded, and 3D left me wanting more, and KH3 stopped that train in its tracks. KH4 is going to be for a particular audience, but unfortunately that audience no longer includes me. Good luck and happy gaming to those who continue to follow the series! EDIT: I guess I just needed to vent somewhere because upon further reflection, I've decided that KH3 is better than I gave it credit for. Some of my concerns are still there, BUT it can potentially be fixed with Final Mix. KH3 is a better experience once you judge it for what it is, instead of for what it isn't.

Ranking the Disney Worlds of Kingdom Hearts III
From best to worst. CI = Character Interactions (as in, interacting with the world's characters: Elsa, Hiro, etc.). 1. Toy Box: Great music, story, and CI. Woody throwing shade at Young Xehanort is amazing. 2. San Fransokyo: Wish there was just a little bit more to the world and CI, but overall a fantastic world. 3. Arendelle: Labyrinth is GREAT, beautiful world (but just a hallway), decent CI, and Elsa should've been in the party. 4. Kingdom of Corona: GORGEOUS world (I love forests), lovable CI, and screw the temporary party member idea :( 5. Olympus: Impressed me. It would be higher ranked, but I just love the other worlds/movies more. 6. The Caribbean: Great aesthetic and ship mechanics, but the story and CI are laughably bad. 7. Monstropolis: Shallow story, ironically the only world not to make me laugh, and mostly an actual hallway wtf. 8. 100 Acre Woods: What a f***ing waste of a world. I'd prefer they cut this to make Twilight Town slightly bigger. For the record, I actually REALLY like numbers 1 through 6. Toy Box, San Fransokyo, and Arendelle are actually really close in my eyes, but you gotta rank them somehow. I've softened my hatred for Monstropolis, but it's still boring to me, and seriously, Pooh is just the worst.

Replace two worlds, add one
Replace Hundred Acre Woods with Atlantis the Lost Empire. Replace Arendelle with The Sword in the Stone. Add Princess and the Frog. I picked properties that I both like and think would be a good balance. I'm actually pretty pumped for Arendelle, but Frozen is super popular. If I kicked it out of KH3, it will just end up in the next game no problem.
-
NO SPOILERS: did they reveal all summons in the trailers
Yes, all the summons have been revealed via trailers. I'm not 100% sure on the attraction flow rides, but it looks like YES, those have all been revealed as well.

Tetsuya Nomura talks about the possibility of free and inclusive DLC for Kingdom Hearts III, prioritizing the next title, and rethinking simultaneous worldwide releases after recent leaks
Can all of us just collectively call BS on the "haven't made up my mind yet on DLC" thing? Check out any interview with developers with DLC (FFXV, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider-Man, etc.), Post-launch content is decided months (sometimes even a year) before a game is released. Even the Final Mix content of the past wasn't just "stuff" that Nomura came up with after launch. They were typically things that were already in development or that he wanted in the original game, but just ran out of time. Nomura has also intentionally lied before. "We're looking into potential HD remasters", 1 month later 1.5 is announced. "D23 won't be that big", Pixar joins KH and a release year is given. "Idk if FF7R will be a thing" it had been an official project at Square for a year. This isn't a Nomura rant. He uses his lies and slight of hand for the side of Good! I'm just saying, I think if he knows EXACTLY what the DLC is going to be lol

GIGANTIC PLOT SPOILERS CONFIRMED TRUE (not in thread)
Darn you Kittenz, THIS is the thing that's going to break me and make me spoil myself. Not the ending. Not the final boss. Not Scala al Calum. The ship wars will break me haha I'm trying to rack my brain now. Once we all put our own personal desires out of the way, the only canon romantic-ish relationship is Sora & Kairi. As long as that stays in tact (and based off trailers, it seems to be) I don't know why the fanbase would blow up. I don't think Nomura, Square, or Disney really have the balls to break up the Sora-Kairi relationship, so it can't be that. Unless it's a same sex relationship, but even then I can't see the community fighting over that. I'm so confused lol

DLC pre-annoucement on famitsu
It's difficult to guess what this might be without playing the game, but I like where his head is at. In a weird way, the Final Mix content of the past can be seen as DLC content. I'd love another world (original or Disney), but that;s harder to come up with quickly like new weapons, cutscenes, enemies, or even extended dungeons. A DLC would require planning from the beginning, but Nomura DID cut out the epilogue and secret ending, and he knew he was doing DLC anyway, so maybe? But I'm not betting on it. Who knows what the free stuff could be. Besides bug fixes, maybe the accessory stuff from 0.2, and maybe an objective list to get them (idk if this already in the main game), it could definitely encourage replay value.

Worldwide professional reviews for Kingdom Hearts III have been published
Yeah, these check out. Everything I've seen about the game puts it somewhere between 8/10 and 9/10, depending on how generous or nostalgic the reviewer might be feeling. Good job Nomura, Square Enix, Disney, and everyone who worked on it!

Leak warning and list of leakers to avoid
Umm... why? lol The leaks definitely suck, but games leak all the time. Unless the game just completely bombs in sales, there will most definitely be a Kingdom Hearts 4.

GIGANTIC PLOT SPOILERS CONFIRMED TRUE (not in thread)
I do not know what the ending is. I'm not looking it up, and I am not asking anyone to message me or tell me what that ending is. I am just making this post and leaving. I will not read any quotes or replies to this post. I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING!!! But I just want to remind everyone that these stolen copies are missing both the EPILOGUE and SECRET ENDING! These can be crucial to the game (and Nomura even confirms as much). Let's look at BBS as an example. BBS Epilogue: It reveals that Ven's heart took shelter in Young Sora's heart, Terra's body landed in Radiant Garden, and that Aqua is alive and exploring the Realm of Darkness. BBS Secret Ending: Terra is still fighting Master Xehanort within his body, Ansem the Wise is still alive, and many people that we thought were lost forever (Namine, Roxas, Axel, Xion, Terra, Ventus, and Aqua) could be saved once Sora set off on his next adventure. The epilogue and secret ending can literally change EVERYTHING. For BBS, it turns a depressing story about 2 protagonists dying and 1 protagonist stuck in what is essentially KH hell, into one of hope for not only the 3 protagonists, but for other beloved characters as well, and an exciting future to be explored. I'm not saying the epilogue & secret ending will definitely redeem KH3, and I'm not saying you shouldn't leave the franchise. I'm just asking you to be fair, and wait until you see the FULL story before you pass judgement.

What is your favorite KH3 link revealed so far?
MY GIRL ARIEL!!!! Everyone else might hate you, but I know you and Sora are secret BFFs

Utada Hikaru and Skrillex's EP Face My Fears reaches number one in the iTunes International Album chart
I get what you mean. She is definitely talented, but I most certainly think she got a KH boost. I can only speak for the U.S. in general, but we really only listen to singers from our own country, with obvious exceptions from time to time. I almost never hear people mention Utada, and when they do, KH is mentioned in the next sentence. I'm sure she has a strong fanbase in Japan, but outside of Japan I think she's just mainly the "KH singer", which isn't necessarily a bad thing if it gets people to look at her album. It's actually really odd. Gamers, Non-gamers, KH lovers, and even KH haters all seem to love that opening song for KH1 lol

All worlds leaked
I'm still super excited about Olympus, but I just had a realization: It's technically just 3 rooms. Granted, 2 of those rooms are gigantic, and the other 1 is still pretty big, but if the loading screens are the cutting off points, then yeah, Olympus "only" has 3 rooms in the entire world. I'm not complaining, I just think that's hilarious lol

Nintendo world 2011 kh3d footage
This was super cool! I still think the original concept of KH3D/BBS2 was meant for the Vita, but switched to the much more likely to succeed 3DS.

Out now: The Road to Kingdom Hearts III - A documentary by KH13 | feat. KZXcellent & KeybladeSarah
Really great video!!! I'm confused as to why KeybladeSarah is in the title though. I get KZXcellent, since he narrated the whole thing, but Sarah didn't appear more than any of the other storytellers. I'll just assume it was contract issues and she demanded to be in the title or something Once again, really great work everyone! I can't wait for KH3!!!

Amazon "Dawn Till Dusk" Keyblade DLC video revealed
Ohmygosh I completely forgot about the whole "winter announcements" thing. Time to go rage. I remember being mad about the "winter announcements", but I got over it when they started showing trailers. I'm sure I'm going to forget about any anger, sadness, or disappointment once the game is in my hands lol

Amazon "Dawn Till Dusk" Keyblade DLC video revealed
And then suddenly, OUT OF NOWHERE, Nomura ninjas the whole community and announces that the Vanishing Isle from Aladdin and the King of Thieves will be added in a Day 1 patch. Everyone's heads proceed to explode from hype. PREACH! Somehow this comment makes me both love and f**king hate you lol It's too late for this. I need to go to bed...
