On March 29th 2012, KINGDOM HEARTS 3D [Dream Drop Distance] was released in Japan on the Nintendo 3DS. Fans devoured the game, spending endless hours trying to rush through the prelude game to KINGDOM HEARTS III, hoping to find some clue or hint of what would be coming next in the series. During the credits of KINGDOM HEARTS 3D, players guide Sora through an interactive credit roll, dropping through golden letters that end up spelling out "THIS LEADS TO KINGDOM HEARTS". Following the words, Sora and Riku walk towards the Door to Light, their bodies creating the silhouette of a "III".
Fans questioned what it could mean and in various interviews with series director Tetsuya Nomura following the release of KINGDOM HEARTS 3D, little was said about what the words truly meant. Nomura remained vague as he always was when KINGDOM HEARTS III was brought up, but finally we have reached the fateful day.
Today on June 10th, 2013 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo held in Los Angeles, California, KINGDOM HEARTS III was announced to be in development by Square Enix & Disney!

Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Kinda hard to believe, but soooo glad it's happening.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
This is the kind of response I was hoping for! TWITTER, FACEBOOK, EVERYWHERE, KHinsider going down, Kingdom Hearts has still got it ^_^
Can we all save the "PS4-only" arguing for later lol xD I know that's gonna happen since I too am kind of peeved by that <_<
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Bam, bitches! KHIII is on the way!
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I never jumped up and down so much in my life. I was shaking at Versus/XV but when KH3 showed up I shat. I still cant believe it.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
The moment we've been waiting for for years
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
And Donald and Goofy were party members. Yay.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Finally!! I can access the website.
Also, KH3 got announced. whooooooooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :)
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
It looks fraking amazing I can't believe it looks so good aaaaaaaaa
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I'm just at a complete and utter loss for words right now ;A;
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
been a long time since my heart melted of joy.Felt like a kid again when I saw Sora in his old form.
who's keyblade is that though? At first I thought it was terra's
Though no mention for FFXV or KH3 being exclusive is worrying.Hopefully it remains on PS4 ONLY
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
OMG!!!!! I could not believe it. KH3. I was totally not expecting that. And Nomura-san even announced it. This was just perfect.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Yes, finally! After 7 looooooooooooong years! it's finally coming! I wish I were at E3 for the announcement.
Edit: Forbes Article where I learned of the great news!

Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Was not expecting this announcement at all. Best game news of the day, personally. KH3 is in development, and it can't get here soon enough.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Never in my life did I think they'd show Versus (now XV) and KH3 in the same night.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
who's keyblade is that though? At first I thought it was terra's
Eraqus .
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Years of waiting have finally come to an end.
Congratulations, people, we'll get what we want.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
The trailer was so shocking and awesome. The cell-shaded look is absolutely gorgeous, and I can't wait to see more of it. It really is the perfect HD Kingdom Hearts look.
I'd be lying if I wasn't a little disappointed in the return of the Action Menu, though. I've thoroughly enjoyed the Command Deck and was hoping to at the very least see a hybrid of the two. Still, it looks like it's pretty early in development, and we saw about 5 seconds of gameplay, so who knows what will happen. Very exciting.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I CRIED. SO HARD. THANK YOU SQUARE, I LOVE YOU ;A;
and i'm so happy that the fanboys can stop asking about when kh3 is coming out 8D finallyyyyyy
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I'm just at a complete and utter loss for words right now ;A;
Be honest, did you cry?
I can't wait to see all the new members flood in.
Best.News.ever.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Guys help. I can't find my body. I think I lost it a half hour ago.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I was fully expecting Versus to be announced. When Nomura talked about an "upcoming game" and I saw the Disney Interactive Studios sign, I was expecting the 2.5 remix. But when we were shown clips from 3D I was like wait a sec...AND THEN KINGDOM HEARTS 3 POPS UP. And the 10 minutes after that are all a blur of excites.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I didn't expect to see KH3 for at least a few more years!! I haven't been this exited for an announcement in so long.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
THE FORUMS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF BAWLING
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Eraqus .
Do we know why he received it?
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I just can't think of words right now.
I am feeling everything. :'D
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I doubt anyone knows, but what is up with the trailer?!?!? Was it just a tech demo or was there significance to Eraqus' keyblade on DI? How did it get there unless...something happened to Aqua and AtW O_O and what about the whole thing in Traverse Town?
What was that yellow bar above the image of Sora?
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I like how the battle system uses the command system and not the card system.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Oh man, amazing and totally unexpected. Wow
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
When I first saw the YouTube video. I thought no way. This has to be a fake. Then I saw it. My jaw dropped and no words came to me. I'm still in shock. Did this really happen?! Like for real!? Someone smack me!
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I screamed so hard I lost my voice.
I didn't see this happening for at least another 10 years.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
And the magic starts all over again, never been this excited for so many games in one day.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I'm literally crying, squealing, jumping around and dancing around my room right now as we speak....
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
donald anf goofy are back baby!!!!! :)
also, why does sora have eraqus' keyblade?
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Today is a glorious, glorious, glorious day my friends. I've been waiting for this for 7 years. Well done Sony, I am absolutely sold on the PS4 and can't wait for Kingdom Hearts III
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
It has happened! It really happened! 8D it's hard to believe its real, but, oh my gosh...to see it announce! This is what we've all been waiting for and its real! So many new things going on in the trailer, but, it's good to see SDG again.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
So much screaming had been done. Still cannot believe it xD
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
This must mean Final Fantasy Versus XIII is very close to being done if they are in development. This is very exciting! The finale we all have been waiting for!
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I have never in my life been so happy. I simply was in shock when my friend said it was announced (she said it on Facebook so I had my concerns) and now I just can't even. I have no words to describe this feeling that I have for this. I just....BAAAAAAAAAAAH
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!

Didn't you see? It's FFXV now. We got the whole trailer and everything!
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I just... what are words anymore... AHHHHHHHH!! Kingdom Hearts 3!!!!! So many feels right now... How do I even!?

*smack*
it's-a real!
i can't wait for TGS in the fall!
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Everyone, start your theories!!!
Why does sora have Eraqus' keyblade?
Why was it on Destiny Islands?
Where were Donald and Goofy even though their health bars were there?
Why do were theorise on what looks to be early concept trailers.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Also, since this is the very first teaser it's probably conceptual so for now don't worry too much about the details. Things like Sora finding ME's Keyblade is probably symbolism for what we already know: Sora's going to go after Aqua first.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
MY BODY IS READY!!!
I was freaking out when I saw this come up on the livestream!
I dont mind it being on the PS4, but it would be cool if it was ALSO for PS3. After all, the remixes are on PS3 and Nomura said he wanted everything on one console.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
My brother and I are freaking out so much right now. We were probably going to get the PS4 at some point, but maybe not right away, depending on the price. But with KH3 coming out much sooner than we thought, AND it being $399? We're getting it opening day for sure. Everything is beautiful.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I wasn't expecting that at all! I'm super hyped!
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Sora's KH2 clothes, at fucking last.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
YESSS YESSSSS. I couldn't even sit straight up!
CAN'T HANDLE IT
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Literally my reaction to the trailer: OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG....
(countless OMGs later)
KINGDOM HEARTS III OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!
But anyway, I am so friggin excited that the game is actually in development. Somehow I knew Nomura would decide to start KHIII before finishing Versus XIII (now FFXV). Who knows when the game will be out, but I don't care! I'm just happy the game is actually in development! And the graphics just look so beautiful, and that looked amazing with Sora riding the wave of Heartless.
And the best part about this trailer: Donald and Goofy are back! Don't get me wrong, I loved BbS; I loved KH3D! Both were amazing games! But I missed Donald and Goofy! But I think we all knew they were coming back given the secret ending of 3D.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
It tastes just like I dreamt it would...
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
If I ever had any doubts about saving up to get PS4 at launch, they are long gone!
So release date speculation! maybe late 2014/early 2015? I'm actually hoping it'll come mid 2014 but that's just me being optimistic.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
everything is shiny through the tears!
but seriously, im so hype yesssssssssssssssssss
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I am SOOOOO happy theyre using the original battle system again for KH3. I am sooooo done with the deck commands lol
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I somewhat expected this, honestly. I was joking about saying this would be revealed thinking it would never happen, but... honestly, there was a slight tinge of hope that this would happen.
And I'm glad that it did happen. :3
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I seriously thought they were just going to announce 2.5 because they were showing clips of KHII, BBS, and Re:Coded...but as soon as DDD popped up...I knew.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I'd like to point out that they didn't state anywhere in the announcement (to my knowledge, at least, correct me if I'm wrong) that KHIII is a PS4 exclusive. FF XI, XIII, XIII-2, and Lightning Returns are all cross-platform releases, and while yeah, they aren't KH games, perhaps it's possible that KHIII will see a multiplatform release.
I don't think the FFXV trailer does, either. Although it was announced as playstation exclusive a long while ago, It's renaming to FFXV makes me think that a cross-platform release may be more likely.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Oh my ****ing god. Mirror's Edge 2, then Final Fantasy XV, and now THIS. God was today so epic. And now I really want a PS4 lol.

If it does go multiplatform fan boys will rage.(WiiU too maybe?)
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
This caught me off guard, even though I heard rumours about it being announced this year I thought it was a load of crap. I was expecting 2015 at the earliest. THANK YOU SE~ THIS IS AMAZING. THANK YOUUUUU.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
So I am literally $9 away from a PS4 and KH3.
Gonna need a job soon if I want to get any of the other games from e3.... D:
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Posted this on another forum.
One thing I'm curious about is if they will finally get Utada back for a third song. Both Hikari and Passion were lovely, I'd be excited to see what she came up with next.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Didn't you see? It's FFXV now. We got the whole trailer and everything!
I did see, and seconds after I tried to correct myself, but the site couldn't take the heaps of traffic xD I usually confuse myself with new information herp to the
derp :cool:
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I'm still recovering from this announcement. This is the best thing ever.
I was so not expecting this. I thought they were showing off the 2.5 HD collection but when they showed DDD, I knew something was up. I literally screamed out in excitement for a good 10 minutes. My brother was telling me to shut up so he could hear the rest of the conference lol.
Non-exclusive?
Non-exclusive?
This is very interesting O___O Is it possible that KH3 is going to be on PS4 and Wii U? Xbox One isn't an option in my mind because it just wouldn't make sense...
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
square enix single handedly shat on the competition with FFXV and KH3 reveals
Looking at the trailer, do you think they sort of whitewashed the island a bit? that wooden bridge looks much lighter. BTW, I had a total fangasm but couldn't post here so I went and did a little commentary on YT.

I think that, given the detail they put into some aspects (like Sora's hair) it was odd that that much detail wasn't paid attention to in other parts. It looked really obvious since you could see so much detail in Sora's hair, eyes, and the way his clothes moved, but not nearly as much on the environment, his skin, and little details.
Honestly, I know SE will improve upon it though so I wouldn't mind it now. KH3 is only in development, they aren't going to show us the finished product until it's finished ^_^
Guys I'm so happy right now!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER. But soon all that waiting will be worth it. KH3 FOREVER!!!
gosh it is so beautiful
this caught me completely off guard! the entire time i was just yelling out "holy crap!" over and over and over and then i watched it again and did the same thing!
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I can't get this fucking grin off my face. I was hoping that Kingdom Hearts 3 would show, but I didn't actually see it as possible. Square Enix gets much of my respect.
How they gave us it was perfect. We are all hyped up on Versus being revived as XV, then suddenly Nomura is saying "a teaser for an upcoming game". Immediate was thinking, okay here comes the 1.5 trailer. And the teaser shows KH1 and CoM first, so yeah thinking that it's just 1.5. Then suddenly there is 2, BBS, and coded and 3D and I'm thinking, holy crap 2.5. Then everything changed to the new art style and I'm thinking "no way it can't be" and suddenly the logo. Really fucking got me excited.
Not too big a fan of the cell shading. Doesn't seem too high quality, but I imagine that's because they have barely done much work on the game yet. I always imagined KH3 would just have a really high polycount and really good textures, but retain the series art style, like how 1.5 is. Once they've gotten to work on this a lot more I am sure it will look a lot better.
gosh it is so beautiful
"The diddly is this?"
"The diddly is that-OH SHIT!"
Finally!, tears of joy!, thanks SE and Nomura.
Um, ages later and I can say I have finally sat down and watched the thing after staring dumbly at it when it was playing and for the hours I've been fixing updates and whatnot.
Hype at max levels.
I don't have a problem with the detail. It'll undoubtedly improve but we're talking about a game that will draw heavy influences from hand drawn animation. I loved the detail in the Twilight Town bits too. What I was talking about was the coloring. Honestly Twilight town is everything I wanted the environments to be in HD. Edit:

You know what would of made this teaser perfect. Donald and Goofy running alongside Sora
I cant wait for interviews and stuff to start coming out :D :D

I love the images of Goofy and Donald. They're quite small so you can't see them perfectly, but they're definitely new renders, at least not anything I've seen before so that's nice :)

At least is a confirmation that they will be traveling with sora :)
yeah, I think with this they seem to have a plan to return to KH2 style play. Can't say for sure. Also, I wonder what that mystery command will be?
At least is a confirmation that they will be traveling with sora :)
At least at one point in the story they will be. I'm quite glad of that and when I saw the gameplay, the first thing I looked for was them but saw their images soon after and was content.
I'm quite the fan of bringing them back, it's been many games since we worked along side them so I for one cannot wait, I'm so curious as to when the voice actors (Japanese first) will start going in to voice the scenes. Those lucky people...knowing the lines way ahead of the rest of us >_< gah! Now what do I do with myself as I wait...
I literally expected nothing for KH, let alone KH3, but this was a pleasant surprise. I just hope that Command Menu isn't the one we'll be using. I really, really loved the one we've gotten since BbS. I feel like the old school menu is a step backward.
I cant wait for interviews and stuff to start coming out :D :D
Seriously there's no way square can ignore it this week it's the biggest story of e3. There's no doubt well hear how far along it is and a couple tidbits because its all reporters will be asking them about other than XV. And by revealing it, it means they're ready to at least answer questions which is also great news.
I wonder why sora was in twilight town of all places?
I wonder why sora was in twilight town of all places?
It could be a placeholder, and it is one of the more recognizable, larger worlds, so I'm not surprised. I think they used it just to show off detail, but if Twilight Town makes a return, I won't complain (so long as we can finally go to the beach).
I don't even care if Versus was announced or not!
Woohoo! Finally, here we come KH III. I cannot wait.
On a side note, a return to the old battle system. Looks very good. Very good indeed.
I wonder why sora was in twilight town of all places?
Keep in mind that this is just a teaser and the very first one at that. Most, if not all of it, may very well be conceptual. All the first KH trailers/teasers contain things that never make it in game because they're partly to test the waters and show off the graphics more than anything.
you know I remember some members claiming that if kh3 was announded at this E3, it would steal all of the attention from the HD remix`s. You guys still think that is going to happen?

The attention being taken away from the Re:MIX's? I doubt it, not when 1.5 is coming out so much sooner than KH3 and it seems they're keeping it pretty low key as of now.
I literally expected nothing for KH, let alone KH3, but this was a pleasant surprise. I just hope that Command Menu isn't the one we'll be using. I really, really loved the one we've gotten since BbS. I feel like the old school menu is a step backward.
Well, it's always been the plan that KH3 and FFXV use that menu. Maybe they'll program the controls in a way that doesn't force you to stop. I'm still tickled by that question mark too, though it's probably nothing.

In retrospect, not quite. The audience didn't seem ecstatic to me and It'll be months before 1.5 comes out. they also took the time to advertise 1.5

still, that level of detail in TT is a lot compared to just reusing Traverse Town.
It is, I don't doubt that that version of TT is a completely new render (it looks beautiful) but I'm thinking that this teaser is more akin to the very first one we got for 3D and it's to show off how pretty it is (on the PS4?) more than anything.
Yeah, but what I'm saying is the TT in the 3D trailer looked like it was ripped right from KH1, which may have been somewhat possible since the character models were reused in 1.5. Granted, they might have built them to be used in DDD and 1.5. Still just spouting the possibilities.
WOW!! Was not expecting this at all, can't wait for the interviews. My only gripe about the trailer is the art style, I hope the finished product looks more like KH2, just more polished and more detailed. TT looked great, I just didn't like the way Sora looked. But, I know the trailer was really just to announce that the game is in development which is good enough for now. Hopefully we'll get a more legitimate trailer at TGS.
I think we're at least gonna have real lighting.

Considering they were promoting the ReMIX's at the same time, seems pretty fair.
Okay, now I'm home. I can actually watch this bitch!

It totally did, lol.
Yay, teaser. Now, to not see anything from it for the next year or two...three...Excited, but yet, still far, far away.

Nomura did say to prepare for the next few days :)
It totally did, lol.
I hope it also may get people interested in them though as well. For people who maybe want to jump into the series who just saw the teaser, or for people who want to maybe replay them and have a PS3 hopefully this may give them more incentive to actually buy them.
Versus blew my mind, but KH3? At E3 2013? At first I thought I was looking at something to do with 1.5, then I thought it was a very convincing belated April Fools.
PS4 here I come.
Anybody else eagerly awaiting the PSN update with all the E3 content? I want to see both the kh and xv trailers on my tv. I can better judge the colors that way.

Hopefully SE has an official 2.5 reveal soon so we can definitely get people focused back on the Hd collections with new vigor and excitement.
I don't even know what to do with myself right now. D: *hasn't even actually looked at anything yet*
Prepare for the teaser in 2.5 HD now ;D

I like the cell shading because it still makes it look cartoony with a high definition graphics feel, so the disney characters can still fit in with it. I'm pretty sure that's gonna be the final design for it.

here's hoping KH3 pulls a double back strategy like Legend of Zelda Twilight princess and Star wars: The force unleashed did only one generation up...
I am ready. (I'm not ready.)
also not ready
will never be ready
sob
i don't know how to deal with tomorrow
Finaly, afterall theses years. It looks so beautiful. And seeing Sora...I think I shed a tear. Now I can't wait for more info to be released, and tgs of course. But, here's hoping it doesn't end up like versus and take seven+ years to make.

I know its a fake logo, but the thread was about SE announcing KH3.
Man I still can't believe this is happening. Did Nomura say we should look forward to the next days? I wonder what he could mean.

You were saying "lol at it being closed" which is why I responded about the logo as that's why the thread was closed.
It definitely is funny that whoever made the banner ended up being on the mark about KH3 though.

I made an article last night about KH III being announced at E3 as a joke. Does this mean that I was also right, even though I had no evidence of KH III actually being there?

also, i really like the cell shading
What the diddly guys? Are you seriously arguing on a devine moment like this?
We're Kingdom Hearts fans. When do we not argue?
Now if they answer questions about a FF Type-0 localization, my life will be complete!
We're Kingdom Hearts fans. When do we not argue?
I DISAGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID!!! >(
KHIII teaser sedation. *u*
We're Kingdom Hearts fans. When do we not argue?
Uh, I guess you're right. I wonder if it's something in the genes that made us like KH in the first place. Something that also makes want to be proven right no matter. Yeah I've experienced this firsthand.
Anyway, is it me or the logo looks way too 1.5 ish?
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
well i know thats why it was closed. I was laughing at the fact that it was closed and the guy ended up being right about the announcement regardless.
I don't see the humor since it was predicated on false informationnnnnnnnnnn but I've been awake for like 22 hours and am existing purely on hype and coffee SO LET US MOVE ON.

That logo is fake, lol. The actual one looks like:
Not as pretty as the fake one but yay KH3. <333

The moment thatwe have been waiting for since 2006 has finally arrived and you want to ruin it with arguements. How can you call yourself a true Kingdom Hearts fan????? jk
As filoor the announcement, KH3, FFXV, and Star Wars Battlefront all on the same day. These next few days are going to be exciting!!!!!
Looking at it again, the gradation from blue-white-black in the text is kinda funky.
I'm prety sure the final won't be like that. I mean, look at it. It has the KH1 letters.

Hopefully we'll get a bit of a redesign closer to whenever KH3 is going to come out.

Whoops, sleep deprivation's finally getting to me~ I do sort of like the fake one better, but indeed regardless: KHIII <3 EDIT: Yep yep, they probably will redo the logo later on.

It's exciting! Can't wait to see more of it appear.
OMG I JUST REALIZED: could this mean the end of fish faces??!!! 
I'm so late to the party because I couldn't get to the PC for hours, but I freaked out when KH3 came up on screen~
Guys, this is so exciting! I'm so happy~~
Kinda came in late to all the exciting news. But wow. I seriously did not believe my eyes when I saw the trailer up. I thought I was clicking on a new 1.5 trailer but was in for a surprise. I'm so jittery with happiness right now that I can't fall asleepXD
OMG I JUST REALIZED: could this mean the end of fish faces??!!!
Never thought of that before, but if it is so...EXCITED!!!
I'm so excited!!! Finally!!! Nomura's been taking forever!!! xDDD
I thought it was going to be the KH 1.5 trailer, so I wasn't really paying attention because I already watched it like 5 times when it leaked, but then I was like 'Oh, it's a different trailer, cool'... and then when I saw KH2 Sora on the beach with Eraqus' keyblade my eyes almost bulged out of my skull. I'm glad that flowmotion might be coming back!
I don't like the cell shading, the game looks beautiful, but I prefer the look of 1.5, I hope they change that.
Utada, we need a new song. Thanks beautiful :)
Everybody, let's prey together. That is, use twitter or something
The logo has a classy look to it, but it is rough around the edges. Still like it.

Oh dont worry. They'll just do the FFXIII stiff faces :P

I never once though it was cel shaded. To me that's more like the Simpsons Game where the edges and lines are the only parts of an object that appear to move. This one definitely has a CGI look and it's supposed to work with 2d styles.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
This is probably too early to mention but I wonder if it'll be as long as BBS with Sora, Riku and Kairi each being playable? Other than that I SOOOOO happy this game was announced as I didn't see this coming at all.
It's a bit surreal for me that this was finally unveiled.
Let me put this in perspective for you guys: I was around 12 when I played KH for the first time. I got KH2/KH2FM when I was around 14. I'm 20 now, it's been almost 8 years. I knew it had to come eventually but I didn't think it would be now.
Now that i've looked at it again, I can't believe I didn't notice the cel shading. It's actually quite subtle compared to many games. Perhaps it wasnt the only technique being used? But anyway thenonly thing that really bugged me was the island. In the end, it needs some more detail, but when the disney movie worlds are concerned, I can see why they're considering this route as I've always said they have to take the Disney side into huge consideration.
There's definitely a lot of improvement to be made there compared to the other games.
Everybody, let's prey together. That is, use twitter or something
Oh dear D:
I don't think Utada would like that.
After I watched those Square Enix trailers...
I just closed the stream and slept in hype.
Personally I don't really like the cell shading. I'm not savvy with this, but does that mean we won't get cutscene graphics that look like this:
Anymore?
Honestly, I did too. Well not sleep. But at the end of KH III, I just shut the stream cause I was shaking haha. (Also Lea <3)

Maybe. Maybe not. We'll have to wait for a more concrete trailer.
I LOVE the cell shading. It gives it a new fresh HD look while still having a cartoony style that can fit in with the Disney characters. I think it's perfect for the future of the series. Its gonna be for PS4, so let it take advantage of the graphics it can utilize instead of just having more polished graphics that are the same as the previous entries. I'm sure everyone who claims they don't like it will get used to it eventually and agree that this was a great idea for it.
About the graphics I'm not quite happy with them, Twilight Town looks perfect but DI not so much, I didn't like the sand nor the rock on the small island in the background. Sora could also need some more polishing (the hair and maybe the face) but I think they can fix that and even if they don't it still looks good enough.
No matter what style they go with everyone can't be pleased so I think it was a good decision
In case it hasn't already been discussed, IGN said that KH3 has been in development since 2010, after Square completed Birth by Sleep.

The new graphics looks great, and I cannot wait for this!

They claimed that Nomura said that, when he really didn't so...
Oh right, I didn't know that. So it's been confirmed as incorrect?
Either way, I hope we get KH3 soon!
IGN's is run by morons apparently. I've listened a lot of misinformation and stupidities in this short video (Studio Ghibli is not owned by Disney, "silly handheld games", "Sora passed his Mark of Mastery" etc)
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
I'm starting to think that today was another unlucky day because of what happen yesterday and the day before. But this morning (according to my Time Zone) I was like shaking, screaming (in silence), crawling the table and many many others behavior when seeing that Kingdom Hearts III was officially annouced (the same with Final Fantasy XV). щ(ಥДಥщ)
My friends around me think I am crazy and too hype just for the game's trailer (I am sure they didn't understand anything) but that was fun, you know, watched the trailer when my teacher was behind my back and I didn't even care. へ(゜∇、°)へ NOBODY CARES!
P/S: It is been awhile since the last time I was hanging around KHinsider and now so many things have changed. (╯︵╰,)
Thank you Nomura!! We waited so much but it'll be worth it!
Utada, we need a new song. Thanks beautiful :)
Everyone needs to make some noise on this.
Hikari and Passion are great, but they've run their course.

In the end it's really up to Disney to pay Utada better. I really think they will, given they only at least need her for one more game and then she'll have completely covered this saga :)
Isn't see on a hiatus? dsdfdf
Isn't see on a hiatus? dsdfdf
I think I heard that as well, but still, she did make music for the new Rebuild of Evangelion films.
On another note, wasn't the payment issue more from her father's side while Utada herself was more concerned with artistic issues since she didn't like that Hikari and Passion had to be done also in English? Like she thought that only the Japanese versions conveyed what she really wanted to show with the songs?
Isn't see on a hiatus? dsdfdf
Well, yes. But she has made exceptions on her own accord (see Evangelion 3.0). Seeing as how Kingdom Hearts is tightly linked with her, I reckon she'll write a new song for KH3.
Does anyone know if Square will be streaming their 'future of' event for definite?

I don't think they are, I saw SE's streaming schedule and they don't have the event itself listed, just a recap of it. Also, I read in a few articles that the event is "open to the press" but it doesn't say anything about live streaming it so I don't think the event itself will be streamed.
Given that KH3 poster is in the room though, it will be discussed it seems >_<

What is this poster you speak of?
Edit: Never mind. E3 thread. Excited for news today and tomorrow. Cant wait for the future event info even if it isn't streamed.
A ton of entertainers "retire", and sift in and out of haitus. Basically, this just means they do whatever they feel like, what projects intrigue them most and/or if the price is right.
Utada said it was difficult to make the songs both Japanese and English, and also the subject of payment was involved. I really hope both sides can come to an arrangement and that there'll be a new song for the third numbered title. If not, I guess I'm fine with Hikari and Passion being evenly distributed themes for the Xehanort saga, Hikari covering BBS, KH1, CoM, Coded, and Passion covering KH2, Days, DDD, and KH3?
Oh my god. My whole life has lead up to this moment.
!!! I can't believe it's finally happening
kinda wish sora had a new outfit.
kinda wish sora had a new outfit.
Concept trailer, in development. Until comfirmed, that's his outfit which like DDD was in only one game.
Theyre talking about KH3 at the future event right now!

lol how can they even act like they are kingdom hearts fans when they say that Sora became a keyblade master at the end of DDD. The whole ending was about how he didn't become a keyblade master.

I seriously cannot watch IGN KH videos because they are so darn uneducated. I can't blame them, they don't have a real, dedicated KH fan among their staff, but I think them making videos like that is just sad.
cant spell ignorant without ign, lol
The original KH team won't be making this, instead Osaka Studio (the ones that made the recent KH games plus 1.5) will be making it, and that Nomura himself is busy with FF XV.
Edit: Ah oops this is probably better in the other thread, my bad.

I sure he still at least has some power over it. I just can't see no involvement from him for this game.
It just means that Nomura won't be that much involved with KH III development in the early stages until FF XV is completely finished.
FF XV is Nomura's last big involvement with Final Fantasy (after that, he'll just do some character designs ocassionally) and after it he will fully concentrate on KH.
So I don't think we need to worry about something yet.
Lol just lol. And I surprise they didn't even comment much about the Master Keeper.
I bet they don't even know what the Master Keeper is -__-
lol, so much excitement on khinsider. i wonder how long this will last?

Forever and a day. Let's ride it out to the very end!
It's kinda dying down a little bit actually. At least sinc last night.

Oh no I agree there. It's just that the first couple hours after the announcement, the servers were too busy to accomodate everyone who wanted to talk KH3.
I'm still having a fangasm. This whole thing about KH3. At this rate, soon enough, we'll have to make a thread with a list of all the things we learned about the game.
hope to God the gameplay in game graphics are as good as they were in the trailer.
Not sure where to post this
The official site has been updated, we now even have a KH3 page
The site has the trailer in the best quality I was able to find it in

No, you have the YouTube version, which is compressed.
You could just turn the quality up but w/e. If you're gonna act like that I don't really care.

That's ok, I didn't post it for you. But just for the record, the max quality on YouTube is a 44 MB file, the one I posted is 100 MB.

I don't like your attitude. Yes, the trailer is better quality there, but we've also gone to the trouble to deliver all of this to the fans. We even already posted about the KH III website in our coverage.

My attitude? I came here to post a high quality version of the trailer for people who cared, I didn't come here to say "booo, worthless stuff with stupid trailer", nor did I complain or anything so why take offense?

I'll say on behalf of all the staff helping out with E3 coverage that there has been nothing but madness all week. Everyone has been working nonstop since he gets up in he morning to cover the insane amount of news, and though you didn't intend to, you basically told them that their work was pointless and isn't appreciated because it isn't up to your standards.

Seriously guys, this is a forum! I didn't know we were only supposed to be fed the info, I thought the point was to contribute as well. I don't see why that immediately downplays your roles. Obviously I appreciate the site, its info and the work done here, it's been my homepage since 2007 (?). Anyway..
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Announced at E3!
Yaaaaay! It's finally coming after a decade of promise! :DDD
Noooo, there's going to be an XButt version. XP I guess Microsoft could really use the revenue, huh? XD;
Well, with the announcement of KH3, i figured i'd throw this together really quick. Not perfect by any means, but I had fun
