You're going to get a coliseum. And you're going to fight fucking Sephiroth again too, cause Remake is all the excuse needed to warrant inclusion.

I could list like 30 FF7 cameos I'd rather have in KH3. I got nothing against Sephy, it's just... what the hell can he offer at this point? KH1 cameo was _perfect_. KH2 cameo was a bit goofy and stupid but the OG KH1 didn't have him in Japanese version and AC was just released so makes sense to have him in. In KH3 it would feel way too same old same old. Leon's gang appearing for third time is different, they actually have a purpose in hanging around and doing stuff. They have an actual story to them. Sephy in KH2 was just a bunch of animu nonsense and served just to make Cloud worse (tho the boss fight is fun). I just can't see him written in well at this point.

FF7 remake hype is certainly the best argument IMO to include him but if it was up to me Cloud in his OG attire and more friendly personality (thus completing his ''arc'' if you can call it that) would be the major cameo to have for this with few other characters.

The only way they can convince me is to show him wearing a stupid hat with belts and more wings.

I hope the next trailer we get for KH3 features story scenes and Disney characters. I'm tired of the gameplay teasers. I think we will get a new trailer at E3 featuring BH6's world and two new ones, a returning one and a brand new one.

That seems realistic. I could see them holding back on KH3, only showing one minute or less of footage so they don't overshadow 2.8 too much but I think KH3 is at a far enough state in development that they will have a lot to show.

I would guess that we get the first gameplay footage of 0.2 BBS (included in a 2.8 trailer) and a KH3 trailer that ends with "2017" rather than "Now in development" at E3.

You guys are gonna love this.


Though I wish they were going the Granblu route and releasing an English patch for the Japanese version so I wouldn't lose all my progress.

I'm really excited that you guys finally get to play this game.

Message from Tetsuya Nomura: “I hope fans and newcomers alike will find themselves absorbed in this brand new adventure that reveals the origins of KINGDOM HEARTS.”

– Please explain where in the KH series the story takes place.

This is the story of the “beginning” of the KINGDOM HEARTS series; in other words, it falls into the earliest part of the narrative.

It takes place in the world of fairy tales talked about throughout the series, during an era before the Keyblade War.

There are many different keyblade wielders in the world, and you, the player, are one of them.

– How does Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ relate to the upcoming Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue?

All three titles within KINGDOM HEARTS Ⅱ.8 has a link to KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ in some way. You can see it most prominently shown in KINGDOM HEARTS χ Back Cover – a brand-new, approximately one-hour long cinematic piece, which is depicted from the perspective the Foretellers, who gather the Keyblade Wielders. On the flip side, KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ is seen from the player’s perspective. By watching KINGDOM HEARTS χ Back Cover, the player will be able to get a glimpse of what kind of motive these supposed leaders are operating under behind the scenes.

And in KINGDOM HEARTS Dream Drop Distance HD, which is the HD remastered version of the Nintendo 3DS game KINGDOM HEARTS 3D: Dream Drop Distance, you may noticed the Dream Eaters were a sort of foreshadowing. And the title that would act as a bridge between these two titles would be the latest installment in the series, KINGDOM HEARTS 0.2 Birth By Sleep, which is developed utilizing the technology behind KINGDOM HEARTSⅢ. It is a sequel to KINGDOM HEARTS: Birth By Sleep, and a short episode that follows immediately after the events of KINGDOM HEARTS Dream Drop Distance HD, but it’s a title in which players can get an early feel for KINGDOM HEARTSⅢ.

– You mentioned this before at E3 2015, but what was the inspiration behind the character Chirithy?

When we realized we needed some kind of character that navigates the players due to the nature of the game, I didn’t want a character that’s too self-asserting considering that they would accompany the players throughout the journey. Once that idea got rolling, then I thought a cat would be great, since you can’t tell what it’s thinking, but can still get along fairly easily with humans, so I went with my favorite, the Scottish Fold as my motif.

I liked the Meow Wow from KINGDOM HEARTS 3D: Dream Drop Distance, too, but I designed the eyes the way I did to make sure you do not get a sense of it being self-asserting. Some people might have the wrong perception that because I own Scottish Fold cats, I modelled the character after them, but it’s actually the other way around; a while after we began developing, I started to own two Scottish Folds. By the way, their names are not Chirithy.

– Aside from characters and world that appeared in the Kingdom Hearts series, what are some new characters and worlds that are unique only to Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ?

The game is currently progressing under a certain rule, so the only brand-new world would be “Daybreak Town,” the home town in which the players first start out, but there may be a possibility [of other worlds] should we continue providing service through the app.

In terms of new characters, there are not only the five Foretellers and Chirithy, but there are also key new characters named Ephemera and Skuld that appear and move the story.

– What aspect of the game do you think will appeal to fans? What do you think fans will get hooked on? (i.e. collecting medals, events, etc.)

One of the biggest pillars would be the sense of playing live, which is very different for existing KINGDOM HEARTS series titles thus far. You may have communication and cooperation, as well as the occasional competition, but the sensation of going somewhere and realizing there are people there and the world is moving is very unique to this particular KINGDOM HEARTS.

Along those lines, various events are being held frequently depending on the occasion, the medal collection element is key to your battles, we also offer a ranking element, and a unique story told only in this KINGDOM HEARTS, so I’m sure there is some kind of element that would pique your interest.

– What kind of costumes are included in the game? Is there a particular costume of a character that you particularly love?

There are so many different costumes already; of course you have the original designs, then Disney characters, KINGDOM HEARTS characters, and seasonal/special occasion designs, all for both male and female avatars respectively. Plus, you can mix and match the outfit elements, so I think the players can really bring out their individuality.

From what I’ve seen, the hairstyle of the KINGDOM HEARTS 3D: Dream Drop Distance version of “The World Ends with You” Neku matched up with the black coat of Organization XIII seem to be popular. Also, the KINGDOM HEARTS version of FINAL FANTASY VII Cloud costume and King Mickey’s costume are popular as well. If I were to choose, personally, I’d like the Cheshire Cat costume.

– Do you have a special message for the fans?

As mentioned in the beginning, this is the story of the start of KINGDOM HEARTS. In other words, there is no need for any prior knowledge of the series.

I would love for people who have not yet played KINGDOM HEARTS to take this opportunity to casually jump right in with a blank slate. And of course for our fans, you can approach and play this KINGDOM HEARTS in any way you like, so through collecting medals of your favorite characters, collecting costumes, and moreover becoming a part of the KINGDOM HEARTS world and experiencing the enjoyment of weaving your own story that leads to one of the biggest mysteries in the series, which is the “Keyblade War,” I hope you can further enjoy the upcoming release of KINGDOM HEARTS Ⅱ.8 and KINGDOM HEARTS Ⅲ, as well as the KINGDOM HEARTS that will continue beyond that.

You'll get the first obvious question about rerolling for better medal(s), which I think you can't in KHUX unless you re-do full 1GB data download again.

Anyway, hard to judge if they'll give us a recent version of the game, or a copy of 1.0.0.
I think some features will be missing there if so.

That massive patch from a few days ago and the 10 hours of maintenance was to prepare for the English release. Furthermore, if they release 1.0 you should be fucking pissed the hell off. I wouldn't want to play 1.0 and neither should you. It's a much better game than it was at launch. Like, there are fundamental basic features that weren't in the initial release.

No. It's online, but you are by yourself. Even more than in the PC release, which at least had you team up for raid bosses

  • Round 2: Warmachine and Winter Soldier
  • Round 3: Thor
  • Round 4: Hulk
  • Round 5: Spider-Man
  • Round 6: Iron Man
  • Round 7: Captain America
  • Final Round: The Avengers

Also a villains cup with the Marvel villains and a Force Cup with the Jedi heroes.
I also want to get to choose what character I use in the coliseum.
Click to expand...

Realistically you'd get two characters from each list and the rounds in between would be an assortment of heartless and nobodies. Thor and Cap would be in for sure but I think the Cap fight would come before Thor. Grievous would be cool but he doesn't really have anything aside from four lightsabers, and they're trying pretty hard to forget the prequels.

So my final two picks would be Cap and Thor for the Marvel Cup And Vader and Palpatine for the Galactic Cup.

What I'm really interested in is the Shadow Baymax fight. Is it gonna be in the dimension where they left him and you'll be able to fly somehow? Are you going to fight him while riding on Baymax 2's back? Is he gonna use the microbots that got sucked into that dimension? Who's running shit on that planet since this is post-movie and Kabuki Mask isn't a factor anymore? Shadow Baymax? What kind of heartless abomination did Mother Gothel employ to keep Rapunzel locked in her tower? Some kind of mirror demon to represent her vanity? Are we ever going to see the other two (technically 3) titans? How many decent Disney villains are left? Hook, Hades, and Maleficent are the only two remaining from the original gang if I remember correctly (unless they want to bring back Ursula...again...), we haven't seen Gaston yet, Mother Gothel is probably going to show up in Tangled world, we could get Dr. Facilier but if he's not voiced by Keith David then get the fuck out.

According to Malyse there are some subtle differences in the ways that events have played out.

So far the differences are subtle, but the community expects them to diverge. Particularly since "the Unchained" is a thing that exists and it brought up in the PC version.

No.

EDIT: WELLLLLL. There's a ranking system, so yeah? But you won't be fighting anyone directly. Correction, you won't be fighting any players. You'll fight people and get your teeth kicked in.

Gaston is in [chi]. Keith David has no problem with games and Disney tries to get at least on of the original VA's. There are plenty of villains left.

No. The game is liberal as heck with the gems and you rarely are hurting for them. There's some exclusive stuff, like a rare attack medal, but mostly it's aesthetics. The draws are random, so it's really just luck. I've got enough 6 star medals to fill almost all of my keyblades and I haven't spent a dime.

Oh thank god.


Still, I got some wallet cash that's just sitting there waiting for a usage. It would be kinda worth it then?
