Bringing back the KHIV world Discussions thread if everyone wants to comment here.
-
Hey everyone including @WakelessDream long time no see with Kingdom Hearts IV being brought back to the spotlight I want to bring back the Kingdom Hearts IV world discussions where we can discuss on the likely worlds we might expect for the upcoming game. There is debate regarding the main theme for KHIV with most say "Death" or "Contrast between people from different Positions", but I think Missing-Link and KH4 both share a theme - "bloodlines", I think Nomura would have looked at several Disney movies that have that theme. I know most people went down the line of thinking that the worlds in the game are purely going to be based on live action remakes, but I think the choices will be closer to more traditional selections from an environment and from an aesthetic and thematic standpoint for Sora's development. Moana fits perfectly for theme is the daughter of the chief of the village and is trying to save her village and during the first film her Grandmother passes and becomes a guide for her, and she's the only child to the chief and his wife, so there's a bit of a family driving force going on there. Plus it's our Ocean Level Coco is hands down going to be a world for KH4 no question as it correlates with death and remembrance with Sora trying to find a way back to his reality from Quadratum similar to Hector desperately trying to cross the bridge to see his daughter Coco. Frozen II is about Elsa and Anna discovering how their parents met and their connection to the forest and the world, and their mother was the voice calling to Elsa. Encanto also deals with bloodlines along with family and generational trauma which could provide major conflict in the world, plus the magic being in danger and extinguished by Abuela Alma's misguided thirst for the protection of the magic while creating and spreading stress, self-doubt and conformity throughout the Madrigal family is the perfect recipe that draws in either the Heartless, the Unversed, the Darknesses', and/or the villains such as Luxu and the Foretellers to this world. Not to mention, Sora being someone who isn't a Madrigal, and someone from another world who possesses a gift could also relate with Mirabel as she is a normal girl in a family of gifted people with no gift of her own and where she fits in, what her role is in the family, with their magic at risk, which is similar to Sora who also was passed over his chance to be a master due to something similarly out of his control, and knows what it's like to be passed over a chance to be seen as special and in the end was also key to his sides victory. Also Bruno could even be a possible character of interest for the Foretellers since Bruno can see visions of the Future just like the Book of Prophecies, plus the candle being the "heart" of Casita could also connect to the theme of anything (be it a human, creature, puppet, toy, robot, and object) can have a heart. And of course there's Luke, Leia, and Vader at the heart of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Finally, Zootopia would be a fun world where it would fit somewhere in Unreality since it’s like the real world but just with anthropomorphic animals and be our animal transformation level. The trailer for the sequel drops tomorrow. If it is bound to be in KHIV, it’d be a good time to market it sometime this year.

New Kingdom Hearts IV Screenshots Released
DisneyXPixarfan95 replied to KHWaterBlock's topic in Kingdom Hearts IV
After three years of being off the KH13 site, three years and 1,131 days of no new Kingdom Hearts IV news we finally got some new news and Images for Kingdom Hearts IV. All I can say from the new images that they look fantastic, and I'm so impressed with the graphics and images of Sora, Strelitzia and King Mickey look in the Unreal Engine 5 compared to the first KHIV trailer released at the 20th Anniversary event 3 years ago. There's no doubt a new trailer for KHIV is imminent, and we will get it sometime next month in June during Summer Games Fest and I predict judging by the progress and graphics for Kingdom Hearts IV that it might come out sometime in 2026 likely mid-late 2026.- 15 replies

I'm saddened by this but hardly not surprised. The lack of news of Missing Link for 3 years straight, getting delayed 3 times, along with Square Enix being mum about its development cycle. I honestly think it was for the best since Kingdom Hearts IV has already enough story and characters so It honestly didn't need more unexplained lore and new characters to make the series feel bloated, because lets be honest, Missing Link was going to bleed into KHIV the way the mobile games (X/Union X) did for Kingdom Hearts III, and possibly overshadow what was already built up like it did in KH3. Hopefully Nomura and Square learn their lesson from this cause while I don't mind new KH games before the numbered titles, I just don't want Nomura to be overly ambitious to have new KH games and lore relegated on a mobile device that involve gacha and GPS navigation which will alienate existing and newcomers to the KH franchise

As much I was grateful we got Monstropolis the Monster's Inc. world in Kingdom Hearts III and that it's now in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, part of me felt that it should've been a world earlier in the KH series like Dream Drop Distance or Birth by Sleep, instead of KH3 mainly the former game in terms of environment and gameplay value. Even I was almost to the point on giving up on Monster's Inc. becoming a KH world even after the announcement of the Toy Story world back in July 2017 at the D23 2017 Expo and prior to the December 2017 leak, and I also had a bias for Pixar to become a KH world sooner than later. Honestly, I was expecting a Pixar world to appear earlier in the KH franchise even before the release of KH3, along with the fact that the environment of Monstropolis would've made it a suitable world for Dream Drop Distance due to the flowmotion and the theme of Dreams/Nightmares , and at the same time the theme of Fear for Birth By Sleep which in the original film, the Monster's scare children for the scream power to power Monstropolis before switching with laughter at the end of the movie and Unversed are attracted to Negative emotions such as Screams along with tying in to Vanitas as he was a major antagonist in BBS and has sent the unversed to various worlds with Monstropolis being one of them. Now granted the reason Monstropolis was used in Kingdom Hearts III over Birth By Sleep and especially Dream Drop Distance was: Nomura wanted to save the Pixar worlds (Toy Story and Monster's Inc.) for a mainline game (Kingdom Hearts III) according to an interview in the KH3 Ultimania instead of a non-numbered title (e.g. Dream Drop Distance or even Birth By Sleep). To make use of the Unreal Engine 4 which captures the look for the Pixar and CG Disney animated films (e.g. Tangled, Frozen and Big Hero 6) over the style of the original graphics (Unity Engine) used from the first KH game up until Dream Drop Distance. To tie in Ventus' heart residing within Sora whom Vanitas has been desperately searching for him while he was busy being reconstructed and also having the Unversed collect the screams of the children via the cannisters from Monster's Inc. to fuel him as screams/fear is a form of Negativity and Unversed are attracted to the negative thoughts and emotions. Monstropolis narrative wouldn't have fit as a world for Dream Drop Distance or even Birth By Sleep respectively due to the themes, gameplay and story, along with the fact that Pixar wanted to have an original story for this world over a retelling of the original movie. But I'm going to be honest, out of all of the Disney worlds in KH3, the issue I had with Monstropolis was that it was the ONLY Disney world that didn't dealt with or had ties with what Organization XIII were doing while they were meddling in the different Disney worlds such as the Black Box (Olympus, The Caribbean), The New Seven Hearts (Kingdom of Corona, Arendelle) or especially the Replica program (Toy Box, The Caribbean, San Fransokyo) making Monstropolis the "odd duck" out. So honestly, I think they should've had either had another Pixar film (Brave or Inside Out) or another Disney animated film as a world over Monstropolis for KH3 as it would've tied in with what Organization XIII had been doing throughout the game while they were meddling in the different Disney worlds be it looking for The Black Box, The New Seven Hearts and especially doing research on the Replica program to fill out their missing members, even though with Inside Out it was out of the question as Big Hero 6 became the last world Nomura chosen for the world selection and on top of that their isn't any Disney and/or Pixar film that would've fit Vanitas as the antagonist of that world besides Monstropolis.

Disney today has released the teaser trailer for their 61st Animated Feature, Strange World: Although the film might be too late to become a world in Kingdom Hearts IV, but just imagine having Sora, Donald and Goofy be enamored and curious of the world and the strange creatures they encounter. Personally the world itself screams Kingdom Hearts and the layout and design would make for an interesting KH level and the trio could provide a good dynamic to Searcher Clade and the rest of the Clade family.

But I still wouldn't rule out September of 2022 for more KHIV news, they could possibly reveal something at either D23 2022 or Tokyo Game Show 2022. Nomura ONLY has mentioned that we won't be getting any KHIV news during the Summer, specifically around the E3 time frame in June.

Not really as @ocean's rage previously mentioned the four elements of Water, Earth, Fire and Air existed long before Avatar: The Last Airbender so this is nothing new.

So Yesterday, Pixar announced their 27th Animated feature called Elementals, where the synopsis describes a city where fire, water, land, & air residents live together, a fiery young woman & a go-with-the-flow guy will discover something elemental: How much they have in common. So basically "What if the elements have feelings". This could make an interesting world for a future KH game, and Sora could have an air elemental form for his world form if he ever visits it, but it's likely that this film is going to be saved for the next KH game over Kingdom Hearts IV.

I could see D23 2022 and/or Tokyo Game Show in September for more KHIV news followed by Jump Festa in December. What makes you say that?!? Nomura ONLY mentioned that we won't be getting any KHIV news during the summer (around E3) so their is still Tokyo Game Show and D23 2022 in September so it will be 5-6 months by then. Nomura ONLY mentioned that we won't be getting any KHIV news during the summer (around E3), there is still Tokyo Game Show and/or D23 2022 in September so it will be 5-6 months after it's April reveal.

Part of me kind of wishes Monster's Inc. should've been utilized as a world for Dream Drop Distance, over Kingdom Hearts III as the gameplay and environment would've meshed well with the Flowmotion mechanic along with the fact I wanted a Pixar world sooner than later.

I realistically see around 1-2 Live-Action worlds at the most with the most likely ones being: Star Wars (retelling Return of the Jedi) Alice in Wonderland (2010 film) or Maleficent Lightyear and Turning Red will all come down to whether Nomura and the development team are in the process of choosing the Disney films they want as worlds or they are almost half-way done with their KHIV world selection, and whether or not Lightyear is one of the worlds they want in KHIV. Granted there have some Disney movies that did become worlds sooner than later like 1-2 years after the movie's release, for instance, the Pirates of the Caribbean world (Port Royal) in Kingdom Hearts II was the most recent Disney world chosen during the development of the game just 2 years before it's release in 2005, The Grid from Tron: Legacy was the most recent Disney film at the time implemented as a world for Dream Drop Distance, and San Fransokyo (Big Hero 6) was the most recent Disney film added into Kingdom Hearts III and the last Disney world chosen during KH3's development. So for now it's a wait and see situation.

So in a new interview from Testuya Nomura he revealed this important key point during the interview: So worth thinking about any Disney films that also share that theme ("contrast between people from different positions." ) Nomura has brought up?
