The Black Box contains Versus XIII.
No? It's all from the same world.
And only until next month we will get a glimpse of another world.
If we go by FF VsXIII/XV standards, then I am sad to inform you that all that SE shows is actually all they have so far.
There is no grandiose thing under the covers.

Having empty environments in places like San Francistokyo would be an incredibly baffling decision.
Envrioments generally speaking have become boring since 1.
It's clear the combat is mixing bits and pieces from all those games.
Wonder how it will all come together though.

Yeah, I have a feeling the platforming and exploration from I isn't coming back. I really liked it though.
Still less baffling than completely deserted Paris or a ball with only 3 guests.

Flashbacks of seeing the duscae region for 3 years straight lol
With small peaks of other areas(only small peaks)
I was playing 2.5 yesterday and there's a part where Aladdin says something to the effect of "I need the busy city life" or something like that as the camera shows an empty Agrabah environment. I should've taken a picture.

I would be more worried about the population of this world. Who remembers Cinderella's ball from BBS?

Not a chance which makes you wonder why included San Fran of all places that's a nightmare you can get away with it a bit in Olympus and tangled(unless the town is included here)
They never even give a half ass excuse like the arkham games either
I mean truth be told, in the end it turned out there wasn't much other than Duscae anyway.
I love the particle effects going on, especially when that ball of light starts raining
I always found it funny that you're at Olympus Coliseum. Cutscenes play and you hear cheering but as you can clearly see no one is in the stands.
Who is cheering for Hercules? Ghosts?
Same with hearing cheers and applause in a completely empty arena in Olympus Coliseum.
Not even a forza crowd in the coliseum.
Who's he even waving at after the match? Why is he upset that hades put the "crowd" in danger?

Trailer is amazing. The more I see of the game, the less hope I have for it being BBS on a grander scale in terms of having Riku and Kairi playable. Even though they are analogous to Terra, Ven and Aqua this very much feels like Sora's the star of the show here. Combats seems varied enough that it probably won't be an issue for me.

They have to switch at some point it'll be the biggest let down in all of the series. This is 3 baby a conclusion to a saga. Riku at the very least has to be playable in some form. And I know ppl will blow a gasket for kairi too
Whatever you say. I was just echoing some of the comments on the first page. What they showed looks pretty polished.
No need to talk down here, I was waiting and watching all footage of FF XV for those years. I'm not impatient, and I'm not that anxious for this game. What I meant was, the footage looks pretty solid, like some progress has been made.
Although, the only issue I saw was that the combat scenes were always cut into really short bursts. I wonder if this was to hide anything. It did seem like the camera was too close or would be a bit difficult or unwieldy.
That was to be expected imo.
Riku may have a "playable" bit like in 2.
They will just end up like Herc as a 4th party member.
Though I expect Kairi to be useless or be a damsel.
I do agree that the gameplay looked a bit weird.
KH has always been floaty, but this seems to take it a step further, and it's a bit too much. I went back and watched a few 2.5 videos to see if it was just my memory playing tricks on me, since I never played the remasters, even on PS3, but that wasn't the case. II has much better feedback, you can feel the impact through the animations and sounds a lot better than in this video, and the hitboxes look tighter, in this video the moves are so wide, nothing feels like it connects, I went back to check if that punch special move killed more enemies because the feedback was so poor.
Was 0.2 like that as well, or is this just because the game is still early in production?

Did we watch the same trailer lol? The entire thing took place in one area.

That looks great. I gotta pick up I and II.
Well that because it is.

That may be a bit harsh on Kairi but I don't think her training up to this point will be enough to justify having her playable. Certainly nowhere close to Aqua. Can't see her pulling off all those crazy moves unless a good amount of time has passed. Given how 0.2 ended, I doubt that'll be the case.

A thought just occurred to me: We see something actually plot-relevant happen in a Disney world. Perhaps the plot will be more like KH1 than how fillery it was in KH2?

Well it's a good thing they're training in kingdom hearts version of the hyperbolic time chamber
Kairi and Lea are training in a room in which time doesn't flow, like the characters in Dragon Ball Z. It was confirmed in the prologue scene narrated at one of the last Tokyo concerts.
Yep, Nomura also said Disney properties are back at being important to the overall plot by popular demand. The fact that Sora is training in Olympus and not in a KH original world is pretty telling.
No. So what if it took place in one area? They are keeping the others under wraps for now. It's better they show what they have in the best form, otherwise we'd have an FF XV situation where everything they show is unpolished and rough and not the final and people freak out.

Wowza
They have said that they will at least try to make the worlds less filler-y and develop meaningful stories. Big Hero 6, which is set after the movie and shows the dark Baymax is exactly that.
MOANA BABY
Kairi is a character that the story tells us that she will be super important and will actually do something, but in the end just doesn't.
Like many bad female characters in shonen like Sakura or Orihime.
Trust me when I say I want to be wrong but I don't see much light at the end of the tunnel.

Don't know if it was mentioned or not but the most surprising thing is the fact that the Xbox one still shows up as one of the things it's coming out for. I know how much some people were trying their hardest to convience that it would be canceled for it.
To the game itself, it looks fun and like an upgraded character action version of kh2. Hopefully a date gets announced soon.

I'd say holiday 2018 is a logical expectation. Maybe early 2019 for being cautious. That is, unless things are fucked up behind the scenes. But ever since the switch to UE4, there hasn't been any indication of this.

She wrote a letter to sora it was acted out at a concert or something
Also lea keeps apologizing to her and says when he looks at her she reminds him of someone(xion)
Well, the game is still a year and a half off at this point. They probably haven't gotten to fine tuning the combat yet. For example, the aerial finisher for single targets is kind of buggy and doesn't vaccum/pull sora towards the enemy he's hitting like in the second game. Plus you won't notice the impact of some hits because of the sound mixing in the trailer (the song overpowers most everything else)
What gets me hype is that magic shortcuts seem to have some sort of "page" system. So you can have multiple sets of magic shortcuts. This will make magic a lot easier to use.
Holy shit, lol.

Its a shame the copyright issues don't let them populate the Disney worlds with NPCs.
Yeah, makes sense.
Full transcript of the scene:
Nomura said that since this scene happens during the first steps of KH3's story, they didn't have any ingame visuals yet, so they just made the VA read these lines while generic pictures were displayed.
