Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Opening CG Cutscene

I haven't played a Kingdom Hearts game since I beat the original on ps2 back in the day. I forgot the series had these feels!
 
Been watching the 光 version on repeat while waiting to take the train home for the past 15 minutes.

I adore the part where Aqua, Ventus & Terra are falling towards Destiny Islands. Their expressions of joy and happiness... It's beautiful.
 
I'm somewhat surprised Disney were comfortable in letting Square literally use the landscape of their famous logo scene.

Same here. Seriously put a smile on my face to see them actually all together again. Not to mention the symbolism that the sky is where they are brought together since Sora means sky in Japanese, and as we've been hinted at for years, Sora is the original trio.
 
Watching again, I really love that scene of TAV in the sky together, and then when thrown apart, the feels of Aqua sacrificing herself to protect Terra and Ven...

I must know what happens next!
 
Guys no joke, the song sold me on the whole series (and the announcement of remasters for 1.5 and 2.5 for PS4 too), I have no idea of what is going on yet even I'm getting some feels ha ha ha, can't wait to get into Kingdom Hearts. I need that song in my mp3 by yesterday!

Man, if you got feels from this, just wait until you know the context behind the scenes in these openings. I love how Kingdom Hearts openings depict events that occur in the previous game.

It's going to hit you like a truck full of freshly peeled onions when you actually play if the song and this opening was enough to get ya.

The Kingdom Hearts numbering system is out of control.

I remember playing Kingdom Hearts 1 and understanding like 90 % of the story...nowadays...yeah I dont get it anymore...this is more complex than the damn Zelda timeline...and thats already complety out the window...even Dragon Ball Z timetravel is tame compared to KH
 
Wow - fantastic trailer.


I might re-consider buying this later on and instead buy it day 1 ;P


SE is owning so much right now. This and the Omen trailer for FFXV are fantastic!

Step aside, Kairi.

EDIT: Actually I feel it's a good time to pipe in with this; I really hope they don't make Kairi's KH3 design too silly. The pink overall with flower keyblade was....pretty 'gurl-power'. Aqua's was different and cool. :D

hate to say it, but it looks like her outfit has a cat-ear hood.
 
I keep watching the opening cutscene, someone send help.

She looks like a stressed suburban mom seconds away from snapping.

...which is actually reasonably accurate, all things considered.

Whelp, can't unsee that, damnit. She also looks like she's screaming internally.
 
I'm just imagining the one person who's never heard of Kingdom Hearts before who's first exposure to the series is this opening video, they're just watching it, then WTF Mickey Mouse suddenly comes out of nowhere 3/4ths of the way in.
