It's happening in about an hour

How could I forget to mention the damn moogles? The moogles in this game were really well implemented, especially the ones in Qu's Marsh

I haven't got the game yet, but from what it looks like there are a lot of popular FF characters missing. Laguna Loire-We got Quistis, but not Laguna? Kefka (how can you not have Kefka) Noctis and Ardyn should be there in the sequel, since 15 came out one month after this game. Caius Ballad Serah Farron and Noel Kreiss from 13-2 There is not a single character from FF12! Zidane and Kuja? Why is Vivi the only mascot for FF9? I get he is the fan favourite and everyone loved him, but Zidane and Kuja were just as amazing. It's great to see Eiko getting some love too, but you've gotta have Zidane before you have his crew! Sazh? Vanille? Snow sucks. Kain Highwind? Yet again, only one character from FF4? It doesn't seem like World Of Final Fantasy when there are 2 characters from each game on average, why does FF5 have the biggest showing? No Type-0 or FF Tactics characters either!

Those UE4 graphics

What do you mean by an 'original' Org 13?

Not happening yet lol.

I think it's amazing that even Ray Chase acknowledges how convoluted the KH story is

Sort of promised yes. In the E3 2016 2.8 trailer it said 'upcoming announcements this winter' alongside the KH3 logo. After 2.8 got delayed Nomura told Famitsu (Yeah it was famitsu) that there would be no news on KH3 until after 2.8 comes out. That was contradicted by the 2 screenshots of new drive forms at PGW in October however, but he probably doesn't consider that to be real news or anything significant. E3 2017 is where we will most likely get more news. He is attending an event in Monaco in February to talk about his career called MAGIC, some keep saying he's going to show off news there but he's already stated that he's only going to give a presentation of his career. I'd also keep an eye on the day of the 15th anniversary of KH, March 28th aka the NA release for KH1. They could drop something KH3 related as celebration but the remixes are enough for me personally. Just wait until E3. If Square do have a conference which they probably will since they skipped it in 2016, KH3 is sure to have some appearance there. Play 0.2 in the mean time, it's a great game!

Yeah I'm actually really liking the boss fights too! Gosh the ones in KH3 are going to be crazy

His hair in the artwork looks to have changed

All of the above is a copout

brilliant

Reminds me of this meme

I beat the game last night for the first time on standard. I will be doing a proud and critical and exp zero run when I feel like it, but from the 3 hrs it took me the gameplay was really great. I went in trying to find a broken command (DDD had balloon, BBS had OP shotlocks, OP command styles and a lot of things were way too OP) and I didn't find anything concerning. The 'aja' spells were very powerful but they are meant to be, take Aqua's level into consideration too. I will say that command styles and the situation commands should appear less often or come at a higher cost (I don't think they take away any MP which is bad). KH3 however has got Shotlocks Drive forms Advanced magic Keyblade transformations Summons Limit breaks Situation commands Flowmotion Attraction flow rides And possibly some other things we may not know about. If for example Shotlocks are extremely OP then everything else on that long list is put to waste. In 0.2 the shotlocks have been nerfed dramatically which is good. The bosses on the standard run felt fine but most people have told me on higher difficulties they are super difficult. I categorise difficulty into two types Cheap difficulty-Mysterious Figure from BBS. It takes no skill, just a long time Real difficulty-Lingering Will, Sephiroth. You have to learn attack patterns and it feels so rewarding when you do defeat them. I have high hopes for KH3 from playing 0.2! It's going to be great

Here http://kh13.com/news/tetsuya-nomura-confirms-rikus-new-outfit-in-kingdom-hearts-iii-from-khx-3rd-anniversary-artwork --There was also a scene with Riku and the King in new clothes, and I'm looking forward to their debut in [KHIII]. The costume design is already done, and it's really nice. Just between you and me, the outfit that Riku is wearing in the [KH X] three-year anniversary illustration was used as the base. As well as this - Something we should all definitely check out then. Also, in [KH0.2] we see Riku and King Mickey receive suitcases with new outfits prepared inside. It seems like a change of wardrobe for [KH3] has already been decided? Nomura: The design is already finished, with a small glimpse of their prototypes appearing on an illustrated card in [KHX]. Riku's hairstyle has also changed, so please look forward to future announcements. http://www.khinsider.com/news/Famitsu-showcases-Kingdom-Hearts-HD-2-8-Nomura-interview-released-8108

Just because it wasn't necessary for you personally doesn't mean it's not necessary for others. DDD had to be remastered since it's the KH2 sequel and the bridge between 2 and 3. As long as they get the game out is what matters to them.

You know that Shinji Hashimoto has said himself that 2.9 is not a thing and that 2.8 is the last game right? I've told you this before. There won’t be a “2.9” after Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8, and it’ll go straight to Kingdom Hearts III after. On the topic of Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep, he says that it may sound short, but its duration will depend on how the player plays, and he believes it won’t be something that will be finished in no time. http://www.siliconera.com/2016/11/09/final-fantasy-brand-manager-talks-possibilities-final-fantasy-xvi-x-3/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter So no. 2.8 refers to Dream Drop Distance, the 0.2 is Aqua's journey and the 2.9 cutscene is the final cutscene of 0.2. As Mickey is telling the flashback from directly after dream drop, but the flashback itself takes place after Birth By Sleep and runs parallel with the ending of KH1. Why on earth would 2.8 cause backlash? It was necessary. DDD NEEDED to be on PS4 because it's a sequel to KH2 and the prequel to KH3? 0.2 is a KH3 demo that fills in the 'plotholes' you dislike so much and Back Cover also does this but leaves some questions for KH3 and UX season 2 to answer. It has been stated in many KH3 synopsis' such as the old one on the website and by Nomura himself that Riku and Mickey were going to the ROD during KH3. So we knew this years ago.

Spidey! The best superhero ever!

After 6 years in development, KH3 is finally here. You eagerly anticipate the release day, staying up for the midnight release and then you sprint home on a dog because walking is for suckers. You run, you grab your doritos and you throw that disc like a frisbee into the PS4. You play for days, weeks on end, exploring San Fransokyo, Kingdom Of Corona, Mt Olympus, Radiant Garden, Twilight Town and like 12 other worlds. You fight many gigantic heartless and nobodies, have a showdown with the SOD in the second 1000 heartless battle in RG. You rescue Aqua, you invade Castle Oblivion like a fearless b*strd and find Ventus, you rescue Roxas, you rescue Terra Sora becomes a monster by the end, flowmotioning off of cliffs and doing 360 noscopes air dives whilst doing keyblade transformations in the middle of the ozone layer and then casting Firaja and blowing up Olympus Coliseum. You've heard countless tales about the times of old when people used to battle for Lux and clash in the epic keyblade war. You've taken them all on, after 15 years of battling Xehanort, Xehanort's cousin, Xehanort's dad, Xehanort's cat's auntie's nobody's heartless cousin who set up an organization to make people do something he could have done himself- you make it to Yen Sid's tower for a meet up with the Guardians Of Light one last time before the climactic war. Axel and Roxas fight Xemnas, Kairi fights her shadow because she's useless, Riku fights Ansem and gives him a speech about darkness for the 50900505th time, Vanitas fights Ventus again, Aqua fights Terranort to free Terra because of plot, Namine draws in her book, Donald and Goofy fight some Disney villain because they can't do anything else and Sora is just slicing through waves of heartless like a demi God. Lingering Will rises from out the grave and beats the shit out of Xehanort and then the other SOD fight everyone, but Sora starts fighting Xehanort and then fights the Lingering Will and Xehanort is all like 'mwaahahahahahahahahah the x blade is forged now I win'. Xehanort picks up the X-blade, stabs Sora in the chest and Sora explodes into a million pieces, Riku shows up but Braig just shoots him in the back and Kairi just screams 'SORA KUN' and then collapses. Xehanort laughs, he laughs some more and then laughs again, he stabs Braig and then just kills all his associates. He descends into the air and heads towards Kingdom Hearts, but he realises his grave mistake "Fk i forgot my wallet". He takes the elevator back down to get his wallet and then comes back up, he sees the clouds moving out the way and paving a path for his ascension. A holy light shines in his face and he looks down on Donald's dead corpse on a spit fire. On a cloud inside Kingdom Hearts, an unknown figure stands peering over the edge, he picks xehanort up and stabs him with a keyblade. "Wow that was easy"-Ray Chase voice
