Real ports soon?

>>567937702
it might indicate something since it looks like other SE cloud games didn't get their demos removed, but I also don't see why they'd remove the demos before announcing anything if they were planning on announcing anything

alternatively it means KH4 was cancelled, like when KHUX+DR was delisted from the app/google play store when missing link was probably delayed internally before it was cancelled

Hopefully this means that they're going to get delisted. Even if nothing replaces them we don't need scam versions.

calling it rn

we are getting FF7R part 3 at State of Play and KH4 at Summer Games Fest. both releasing in 2027 with one in january and the other in november

you cannot possibly tell me both releases which would be 10 months apart could hurt eachothers sales

>>567950147
>both releasing in 2027
That's wishful thinking anon

>>567953026
the game has been in development since kh3 ended its cycle with remind, so 2020-2021. there's no way disney or even square would let the next KH game take more than 7 continuous years of development. kh3 was only 6 and that was with the engine change

>>567905418
>spoiler
makes sense given the thread died suddenly, that's when the catalog is being spammed

>>567950147
they might not do it cause they had rebirth and FFXVI the same year, like 6 months apart, and they both sold poorly. Context of both of them being exclusive to ps5 at the time might not matter to suits

>>567954390
For all we know development was paused at some point.

This is just me being autistic but in KH4 I hope projectiles are more explosive in their vfx. By which i mean, in KH3 a lot of projectiles just kinda fizzle out or poof into smoke on contact and it's really underwhelming. Worst offender is the shotlock for shooting star, you fire a fucking cluster missile and it just vanishes instead of making huge explosions.

>>567982680
You're right, this isn't the place to ask.

sometimes i wonder if tweaking the numbers (stats, iframes, etc) would make party members in the games less prone to dying constantly
like i imagine a situation where Sora, or anyway the player controlled character, being the last one standing to be an exception, not the rule

>>568015745
It's a byproduct of bosses needing to be rhythm game-like in parrying or dodging. Sora would die just as often as the party members if you couldn't dodge or block.

dorkness

I always wonder if people play these games with their eyes closed because I always see people say Sora could never bring himself to kill someone or that he would try to reach out to villains and redeem them like Darth Vader(seen on this very general) and i'm like, Sora has no problem murdering people he's fighting, he only ever freaked out when all his friends died and got pissed when one gets killed in front of him, and really never tries to redeem a villain except for Riku.

>>567986842
It's a KH thread, I'd expect at bare minimum people in here to have done some faggy experimenting in their youth.

>>568023819
I think Sora would generally speaking, not judge a book by its cover, but the instant you threaten him or his friends he'll just kill you.

>>568023819
Like the first reply says. Sora's your classic shonen protagonist just minus the harem. Everything is A okay 99% of the time, but threaten his friends and you are already dead.

>>568024553
I agree. I think it's an interesting flaw to explore where if the first person he met was seemingly nice but evil then they could pobably easily convince him to do some evil shit. Like Yen Sid easily convinced him that all Nobodies must die and he went along with it because they attacked him once.

>>568025926
>just minus the harem
If he ever awakens his memories that Namien sealed up in his heart would he have confusing feelings towards Namine because he feels for her similar things that he feels for Kairi. Snoballs chance in hell but I also kinda hope Strelitzia likes him like that cuz it would be funny.

>>568028496
Naminé is too beta to do anything. She had the perfect opportunity to make him her sex slave and she threw it away.

i don't play this series
why does reflect count in combos instead of being its own finisher like magnet

>>568038927
because based on the most recent official media featuring it (the missing link opening cinematic) it's purpose is to block an attack and give you a chance to counter attack while the enemy is knocked back from their attack being blocked

>>568043856
Also because it was basically just a slightly better block it was counted in the combo so you didn't use it once then get fucked in the middle of a long enemy combo. And they "balanced it" by having it not auto reflect an entire combo but by being used multiple times like other magic. Magnet I guess it was just cuz it was pretty good at interrupting entire groups of enemies.

I think my favorite scene in KH2 is the scene where Sora imagines himself dancing with Kairi as he remembers her when he sees Jack and Sally dancing. Not only is it probably the most explicit showing of his romantic feelings towards Kairi, it's just really well animated and a has good cutscene direction. Kairi from Sora's pov and even the background changes to a pink shoujo ass background with sparkles. I really fucking wish they did that sort of stuff more. That's why I really hope Kh4 has lots of slice of life stuff.

>>568051453

I need KH4 to be an absolute asshole of a game. They should remove minimaps. They should make enemies have random encounters. They should make special enemies that are minibosses spawn randomly if you meet hte right conditions. Enemies should level scale. Items should increase in cost throughout the game and have a timer to prevent spam

Do you guys think sora should get a new main/default keyblade? Not a complete replacement for the kingdom key but another keyblade he mainly uses. I feel like sora is outgrowing the kingdom key. Im a bit apprehensive about it considering they did this with riku and it sucked.

>>568062169
Nah, unlike Way to the Dawn, Kingdom Key is TOO iconic to replace at this point. They time for it has passed. I think they should at least "update" its size tho. It's very small compared to Sora now because it was proportional to his smaller size in KH1. Also Braveheart is awesome, it's the warrior of light's sword which shows Riku is a true guardian of light, and it's gonna look sick as fuck when he uses darkness bladecharge on it and you will be ashamed of your words and deeds

>>568062169
i think there was an initial attempt back in kh3's development to do so with Shooting Star, but got scrapped in favor of just being an alternate keyblade. it was one of the first shown in trailers, the other 2 prominent keyblade wielders (Riku and Mickey) get new ones, and was shown off significantly in earlier trailers

>>568062169
I would've accepted Master's Defender as his new default, but that was not to be.

>>568064427
Master's Defender is really cool but it would have been weird for Sora to get Eraqus' sword all of a sudden when he has no real connection to him. Especially now that it's used as his gravestone

>>568179470
>i really do wish this series was more action and less RPG
cause again i want more RPG, not less. That's it
also i generally don't care for combo counters, as i said i like your idea that better combos mean better bonuses, but i have no interest when they're just there for "yeah i got smokin sick style, i'm so cool and epic"

tldr i think the action combat is cool but to me it's just a mean to an end, rather than the action combat itself being the reason i play the game. I very much like KH1 even with its slower gameplay, and i very much like straight up turn based games (either 4 niggas in a row jrpgs or stuff like baldur's gate 3) also for the same reason

You'll just hate KH4 anyway.

>>568179470
actually i really don't think this series is for me at all
i got interested not cause of the disney shit or any emotional story but cause of the mechanics like combo modifiers, magic and drive forms
i also thought i could grind my way to getting everything within the first third of the game then coast the rest of my way through
but if locking abilities and such behind later bosses and always juggling MP are elements that make this series unique, then i'm better off just not playing it

Here to remind people that KH3 is a great game that didn't deserve the overblown hate it got by people who just wanted KH2-2.

>>568331012
This but unironically. Even before ReMind it was great.

>>568331012
>who just wanted KH2-2
that's exactly what KH3 is though, the issue with those people is that they don't really remember how KH2 is. And/or are way too attached to it, so any slight deviation is unacceptable, just like those that were against KH2 itself cause it changed stuff from KH1 (which i mean, some of that i'm still miffed about myself, but that doesn't make KH2 a bad game. Not having dodge roll did, but we ignore the existence of vanilla KH2)

>>568331012
Nah, KH3 just didn't feel good to play before the update, and the story was brought down by everything surrounding the game like having to recap everything and how rushed the game felt. It's no masterpiece.

I deliberately and intentionally do not. Both because that's the version of the game I played as a kid, and because base KH2 serves as, well the base of KH2. If you ignore base KH2 but say KH2FM is the best thing ever then you either only give a damn about the Data Organization bonus bosses and don't care about the rest of the game or you're just trolling and/or riding a bandwagon.

File: heyheyheykingdomheartsisprettygay.png (429.6 KB)

>>568346893
yes and he'll fuckin do it again.

>>568361661
i played it as a kid too, i still remember getting it before christmas from a friend and playing it for 5 days, 5 hour a day, back to back (which as a 11 yo kid was a lot). But i won't pretend FM doesn't supersedes it, and i don't even care about the data org (if anything i also wish people didn't get attached to that shit af if the whole game should be a shitty boss rush), just like KH3+remind is superseded by KH3, or BBSFM does to BBS etc etc
Even KH1 still works like that, even though the changes are minor all things considered (but still meaningful, like i bet trinities being missable in vanilla KH1 hurts the game a lot for some)

>>568361661
I love base KH2. It was hard when I was younger DANCE WATER DANCE and easy after I got good but it was a pretty enjoyable romp, and I don't feel like 2FM significantly changed much in terms of how Sora plays. 2FM does completely supersede it, but that's because they upped the difficulty and stapled on more content rather than because it revamped a lot of stuff.
KH1 is a bit of a weird one because all of the QoL stuff from later versions has turned it into a game where when you get far enough it becomes a press triangle to win game in a way that KH2 and KH3 aren't. Aside from that and Ultima Weapon KH1 Final Mix was an improvement.

>>568445246
they can't really do that for kh4 though, it has to follow where kh3/mom ended since it's a continuous story unlike dq 12

now if they had to essentially restart development because of the ue5 switch then that's basically confirmed (and it's possible disney made them do it again because they and epic want to push ue6) but they probably didn't reboot the story or change the basic concept for the game like what was done for dq12

Doubly weird for a franchise that actually has a rhythm game
There is no rhythm to fighting KH bosses, they usually aren't even pattern-based

There's virtually no set up. You just download Melon Mix, put your .nds files in the appropriate folders and boot

>>568268921

>>568463735
same with UE4 to UE5, but seemingly most people out there think KH4 already had to scrap everything to do exactly that (as they had said the trailer footage was still in UE4, as they were prepping to get to UE5)

No, the whole point of Quadratum is that it looks real. It would make zero sense if it looked cartoonish and ruin the entire game

Xion getting grounded is hilarious

That scene of Magia freezing a couple dozen Gigas with an ice spell doesn't ever leave my mind. I wish more KH magic got shown off in cutscenes like that. Which makes me wonder what the canonical scaling is like. Like we see donald and Sora use magic in cutscenes and it's pretty dinky, fireballs just kinda poof against heartless with barely any explosiveness, blizzard in KH3 froze a group of enmeies but was a pretty small amount. But Xehanort can create an entire labyrinth and Donald knows Zettaflare. So I wonder if the Quadratum side has much stronger magic or if it's just a sort of difference in portrayal with the advatnage of being a custom prerendered scene, After all the keyblade graveyard is full of giant craters. Hell in Kh3 you even stand in that one giant crater that you see in BBS, or at least a similar one.

In KH4 you will only earn money by selling things and through a salary like in FF8

maybe not scrapping it in the "it's a completely different thing" like DQXII is going through, but i can see some stuff changing, like the "scrap and build" mechanic that they never went into details anyway
i imagine what was otherwise shown in that trailer is there to stay, given those screenshots also kept that bit

I bet Olette is a huge anal slut

Despite restarting development, DQ12 will probably still come out first. Silence is usually a bad sign in game development once a title has been announced. DQ12 has shown gameplay, while KH4 just has some screenshots of questionable authenticity. We'll probably get a re-reveal next year, but I expect it to be accompanied by the same reset announcement .

I know people always shit on Terra's gameplay, but I never got the hate. I'm not some pro player and I never had any difficulty with his movement. He was the first character I 100%ed in my plat play through, and that was after doing as much Terra content as possible and doing the same for Ventus and Aqua in their story playthroughs before the post secret episode clean up.

>>568591956
Well, for MF specifically, Terra's dodge just sucks ass and puts him at a significant disadvantage compared to Ven or Aqua

I was in a thread on /v/ and there was a discussion about if the kingdom key is different compared to other keyblades and I want to know what the people here think because the argument there didn't end conclusively.

>>568608625
Holy SEX

>>568612623
Yeah of course it's different. Two Kingdom Keys comprise the X-blade, the precursor to all Keyblades. It's ostensibly the Keyblade of the worlds' hearts, found on Destiny Islands, which is why it and it alone has a counterpart in the Realm of Darkness. If it was just "Riku's Keyblade" that was forged in his heart then it shouldn't have a counterpart.

All other known Keyblades are forged from the hearts of men.

>>568613629
But Xehanort's report talks about how keyblades from the dark realm aren't special, how would he know about them if mickey's keyblade didn't exist until kh1? And isn't it forged from the heart of a man since Terra did the ceremony on Riku?

>>568613948
>But Xehanort's report talks about how keyblades from the dark realm aren't special, how would he know about them if mickey's keyblade didn't exist until kh1?
Probably just talking theory, Xehanort is a scientist after all. The Kingdom Key isn't mechanically any different than other Keyblades, they all have the same abilities. I understand it as an "emergency use" Keyblade, one created by the worlds as a weapon of last hope because they're in such danger.

>And isn't it forged from the heart of a man since Terra did the ceremony on Riku?
You'd think, but I think it was just entrusted to Riku, since he was worthy of wielding one after Terra performed the ceremony with him. Hence why it didn't immediately return to Riku's hand after Sora claimed it, Sora was relatively, independently worthy then too. We've seen Keyblade wielders since with far deeper darkness than Riku had in the beginning of KH1 who kept their Keyblades, so it doesn't make sense to me that Riku's would reject him, unless it wasn't his own personal one.

>>568614458
Is Data-Sora's kingdom key also special? He didn't have a single inheritance ceremony performed on him.

>>568615262
Kinda? He was given a replica Keyblade and proved himself worthy, where the replica Keyblade was used as a medium for his real Keyblade. Like Riku and Way to the Dawn.

>>568600481
Autistic people have a fascination with media for children BUT with an edgy twist. KH is a combination of Disney properties for children but it's made by a 60 year old guy who is known for "cool"/"edgy" stuff

Guys it's been awhile I have a bad feeling about Missing Link getting released...

white hot take
i wish KH1 had fewer unique enemies
i want enemies whose designs are built off a single foundation, and whose strengths and functions are determined solely by the items they wield
the exceptions being one or two enemies with parameters that explicitly fall outside the norm and wouldn't function otherwise
>waiter my steak is too juicy
yes. i find it more satisfying when things are bland and uniform. makes them look organized

>>568612623
I don't think it's necessarily different, but in canon the first keyblades were forged based on the X blade so it's probably that the Kingdom Key was the first keyblade forged and this would have been done back in MoM's time.

light

>>568665471
soldiers and whatnot should be this way

>>568666095
The Kingdom Key being one of the oldest Keyblades in existence would be cool. I know the age of the blade doesn't seem to matter but maybe it would factor into the whole child of destiny plot thread at some point.

I love Xion so much I think about her every single day...

>>568665471
Very cold take

>>568704596
Sora here got the same stuff DQXII's protag got

I'm going to be re-playing the series again... on Xbox SEX.

honest question
why do combo modifiers cost AP to equip but spells don't
i.e., why is the game structured as it is as opposed to having each spell element be like combo plus or drawn in which the more copies of a spell element are equipped, that many levels of the spell are usable
e.g. equipping 2 reflect elements in the ability menu gives sora access to reflect and reflera
not saying i want this but i'm wondering why the asymmetry exists

ITS HAPPENING
KINGDOM HEARTS NEWS SOON???

news within news

>>568763636
cause they took most of their systems from final fantasy (of the time) duh

>>568779931
WE WON

>>568779931
How desperate we are.

>>568791848
which FF system uses AP in the same way as KH?

>>568792862
FFIX iirc is very similar, though in that one you also have to learn abilities from equipment, in addition to having to manage AP to enable them

Replaying KH3 and I'm still amazed by how absolutely gorgeous the game still looks 7 years later.

What other games are even remotely like Kingdom Hearts??

>>568814075
It do be beautiful

>>568814075
it is and I love the OST, especially in Scala and the Final World

>>568814075
I don't like the models, also hilarious you mod because the horrible HUD of vanilla.
The rest of the games is gorgeous, outside Frozen world that seems sorta bland

>>568814160
7 Remake and Rebirth are the only games I can think of desu.

>>568815418
Miss Xion is really cute.

>>568817049

>>568814160
Dissidia is a KH fighter
FF7Remake trilogy is basically KH2 evolution
Vision of Mana has some KH1 feeling
Twewy is CoM2 and Neotwewy has some things similar to KH combat wise.
There are some indie games in development like Twilight Requiem,Luminous Nights, Blood crisis(and some devs recently released Geno Kids)

Considering how Square hid his real name and Xehanort's surprised reaction, he has to be someone that was already introduced.

>>568826450
Or his name is so stupid Xehanort was taken aback by how stupid it was

>>568826450
What if MoM is Player?

>>568826450
All it really means is Xehanort has heard the name before. Solid chance it isn't anyone we've heard of. MoM could also be lying, which would check out.

I feel like the game should have a twist where one of the side characters has a weapon or tool or something they use constantly and then later on basically looks the camera dead in the eye and says "btw this is a keyblade."

>>568832678
But Sora is Player

Development reset announcement at SoP or SGF?

>>568665471
>bland and uniform
I mean for robots that makes sense but
the heartless come from "the darkness of a persons heart" right? so of course they're all gonna be shadowy freaks with no organization (minus all the variants/evolutions etc)

I headcanon that people turn into a specific heartless type depending on what that person's general disposition was when they were alive

though I think they also evolve with their environment so idk
