I'm really excited for these events in terms of what they'll show and not the impending release date which will come sooner or later. I think you're right that E3 will be the event for that and it would be smart. Since it's in June, they'll be able to better judge how much they still need to do and it's the event which is covered the most by international media. It would be smart to reveal something large there along with some new footage to draw people in.

I would really appreciate it if they would wait until E3 for a set releass date just to avoid any problems later should they arrive. Nomura said he was confident about a 2018 release even if it should be delayed which means that at that point, he wasn't sure whether or not they could achieve the planned date. And to be honest, it doesn't really matter either way since we won't get the game faster if we know. They should focus on promoting for now.

and not 2025 for example. I feel like revealing 2018 may have been a bit too early considering they said in the beginning of 2017 that they hadn't even started on some of the worlds... Expectations can be a horrible thing.

That's something I'm also concerned about and which is why I'm not too fond of revealing any release date information too soon. If they can keep it it's all good but if they can't some people will complain and if they publish it unfinished, quite a few will also complain even though they were the ones who desperately wanted such information... Personally, I just want the game to be as good as possible, even if it means waiting a bit longer as long as it's reasonable an...

Mainly because it's as you said. We don't know anything and at this point, there are some concerning factors like models but there's no real indication to believe that it's going to be delayed in any shape or form.

That is true and I won't be pessimistic and say it absolutely will happen. But everyone also has to be aware of the possibility of it occuring. Because I feel like there are a lot of people who are in the extremes. Either they say it will definitely be delayed/unfinished or those that say it will absolutely be on time and great. I think it's important to be aware that things can happen no one can foresee, but at the same time, it shouldn't be ridiculed or regarded too negatively.

Oh there were some extremely hard bosses which had 100 Million HP. Those were mostly impossible on your own. It really depends on what you have and what you want. For example, Kairi or Xion are basically a must at this point, the Foretellers are good additions but if you can't guilt them, there might be better alternatives. However, they're amazing for HSCs. I'd always save enough Jewels to get the guaranteed ones.

The 100 Million ones were terrible But I think you'll get the lvl 5 pet eventually since the banner medals will get more and more pet points in the future.

I'd be more concerned about the game ending up like FFXV than about delays... I'm not saying it will, but FFXV added so much content later and still does, that DLCs are something I'm more concerned about. Or the models/lighting not being adequate in both extremes, etc. Because we have seen that games can and will be released unfinished to avoid major delays. It did not affect KH so far and hopefully it never will, but it always can.

I have a lvl 5 pet so it basically revives me once per battle and that was all I needed. But it's better to do them in a group when you can't be sure whether you'll die or not. Especially with extremely hard enemies.

I did those on my own, too... Otherwise my lagging self would hardly get a hit in

Same here. Especially because a lot of people don't share shenanigans and most of my party is in a different timezone. It was still annoying nonetheless but at least it wasn't a competition anymore of who could get to the enemies faster.

Congrats on managing that in the end. I also always had one or two puppies eluding me but now that one is over too. ^-^

The new year is going to start just peachy with a thirst test or as my doctor called it "sending me into the desert without water".

Nah you need two of each max if you fused enough Pongos and Perditas onto each other. Unless what Qrow is saying is true then you need only one copy each, which would be convenient. I'd try that out. In JP, the original way to get them was to play quests. Each puppy and P&P dropped from certain quests with luck or RBs which had to be leveled to a certain point. It really wasn't fun....

Yes, it was horrible. Better than the original way to get them in JP,but horrible nonetheless since you needed two of each to guilt the 101 medal. =_=

You can't even argue against the eating is life part...

It's a good movie in my opinion I love how colorful it is. Have fun watching it!

Sometimes, when I think about the character model problem in KH3, I wonder if a partial problem is the outsourcing. I mean, it's fairly common but it was announced 2015 after the engine switch and accordong to the article about it, the Indian company is creating assets for texturing and character modeling. It's also concerning that FFVII decided to switch back to in-house development for quality reasons (albeit from a different company.) Hard to tell how much that has to do with it.

Another factor is that the movies play with the concept of several worlds already. What annoyed me about Deep Space was that KH made such an issue about visiting worlds being such a problem because the pathways are locked. These worlds would mess with that completely. Additionally, the amount of characters and the plot would leave little room for the original plot and Sora & Co. Just to scratch the surface of the topic why they would not fit.

Merry Christmas to you two as well! I also agree on Marvel/Star Wars. The franchises are great on their own, no questions asked, but they do not fit very well into KH. First of all, their respective universes are huge. Deciding on what to use would leave the worlds incomplete and the fans disappointed, not to mention that the Keyblade and Kingdom Hearts as an entity might not be as powerful anymore in comparison to Infinity Stones, etc.

I liked it as well, I only wish parts of the ending weren't so open. >_< Especially since it's unclear whether there'll be another movie...

Thanks, I guess? I think quite a few fans disregard the difference between the movies they love and movies which would actually suit the franchise. As long as it fits, even a movie which isn't well-liked can be a great asset to KH to push the original plot forward, which was something KH2 didn't do and was criticized for. At the same time, a beloved movie can actually be a terrible choice for the game because it simply doesn't work out.

Yeah they did. Though those forms are okay for me since they just implement a different color and minor design changes. However, in 0.2 they did not, which was a good thing but understandable either way since it was optional and there were too many options. Transformations always carried over though, so I think the same will apply in 3, considering we saw toy Sora in the cutscenes.

I agree. A minigame would be fine within the world, but it should be a fully explorable world. It would be a waste not to use a beautiful ice and snow environment to its fullest, especially when no one really wants a musical again. Frozen isn't among my favorite movies at all but there's no denying that its lore, the characters and the setting would suit KH and that matters more than any bias. The worlds should deepen the original plot and I can see Frozen achieving just that.
