And now, we wait for D23. *sits near a camp fire, roasting heart-shaped marshmallows*

after that trailer i can wait till then. pass the marshmallows.

I just want to know what that "two keys" comment means. ;~; WHAT DOES IT MEAN, NOMURA?!

looks like nomura changed his fetish to buttons, i see a lot of buttons

He said something like that one time when he was talking about the "key" that Sora and co. were looking for...

Well they already did the time travel plot, I guess it would only be sensible to do the parallel universe plot as well. We need KH to get as Fringe as possible.

I need a teaser of Kari and Rika next
Lets be honest, sorta is the Ron Wesley of his friends so if he looks that good then what does RikU and Kari have going on

I dislike the circle that leads to the keyblade saying "Keyblade War." LET'S MAKE IT A GAME SQUARE ENIX!!!! jk I can do with just have Unchained X before KH3.

I'm really glad Tangled was the first world announced, I honestly can't see there being a more perfect world to announce first and the potential that second world is soon to be announced is too tantalizing to not go nuts over (although if I were SE, I'd just formally announce Mount Olympus, get it over with so that we have nothing left to grasp onto).

χ/Unchained χ officially sit before the Keyblade War on the official Kingdom Hearts timeline. They lead into the Keyblade War.

We are sooo getting an MMO at some point. They're not going to just stop at the starting point & leave it there.

It seems like that's different from the "two keys" in the Chi universe? Who knows though.


Excellent.

I'm still completely okay with this...I want more than Chi, I want a full on FFXIV-like MMO!!!!

Let's place bets. Will they officially announce Olympus Coliseum which is clearly the first world in the trailer or will they go for the very obvious choice that everybody is expecting, Frozen?

Nomura was outright asked if he could announce another world and he didn't even though it's so painfully obvious it's Olympus in the trailer, lol.

We need to wait untile 16 August

Until August 16th* OR until the 16th of August ( 16 agosto= August 16th = the 16th of August ) both are correct and interchangeable.

But on to what I was going to say- we need more stuff soon! The KH wells been dry forever now. I would check this site daily and for months there was nothing. Regular updates needs to be more frequent.

If I had to make a wild guess, I'd say that the "two keys" probably refer to the X-blade and the "Key to Return Hearts".

It is said that the latter key is somehow needed to rescue those who are in torment (TAV, Roxas, Naminé, Xion and Ansem the Wise according to Blank Points, DDD Ultimania and Coded), so it could be argued that the "Key to Return Hearts" is a sort of "Key to beginnings" as it apparently can grant a new chance/life.
The X-blade on the other hand was described by Xehanort in BBS as "spelling endings", so it might be the polar opposite of the other key.

Of course it is also possible that "two keys" refers to Eraqus' and Xehanort's Keyblades respectively, as both seem to have some special features.

I am sorry for sounding such and fanboy, but it was really nice to see Nomura and Yause go to an event like this. Give me those story hints Nomura, I need more! I loved how Nomura said, that instead of them talking there, they could have showed more assets from the game. After all the negativity from the whole FFXV/Versus thing, it was good to see him there laughing, and just being Nomura.

I was really hoping they would show a sketch/drawing about the new outfit, but I guess you can get everything.

If you see how they respond to each question, most of the time when it is some obscure question regarding, for example, Sora's height or growth, which is perhaps looking into things a bit far, you see both Nomura and Yasue glance and chuckle to each other.

Nomura is also so awkward, most of the time he is just saying ummm.. lol
Yasue does a much better job at answering the questions :P

It's also very clear if that Nomura doesn't even want to be there, he was saying how it's a waste for them to be there given that there's so much to do. He was saying they could of just played more footage or showed us assets in oppose to them actually being there to talk. He seemed quite exasperated when he was told that there was still another 2 days of E3 to go :P

When asked at the very end if there's something they'd like to add to the fans, Nomura and Yasue initially both look at each other and burst out laughing. I'm pretty sure they're thinking "what else can we say!". It's kind of funny, Nomura just wants to get out of there lol

So, our Hero of Light's fighting style changed. He moves more, probably has better skills... I can't help but think about how he went to the Sleeping Traverse Town at the end of DDD, to thank the Dream Eaters, but perhaps also to train in a serious way, after becoming conscious of how he gave in to the darkness and didn't become a Master, even if he at first considered himself strong enough already.

not to sound stupid or anything, but what's on august 16th?

D23 Expo, last year we got Gameplay Video ok KH3 :)

but i thought the D23 expo was in november not august.

nomura was talking about the d23 in jaoan not in anahaim guys

ohh...good for all of us then.

I hope there's some good let's player for KHX when that comes out, not buying a fucking phone for that thing.
Any suggestions?
Actually, can you even record on the phone? Never had a reason to check that out.

I suppose they're referencing the fact that SDG were on Mt. Olympus. Maybe we'll finally get to go to Twilight Town's beach! :D

I noticed those dandylion Heartless spawned more Heartless. That's a cool mechanic. And if they actually cooperate then that would be amazing!

Interesting choice to mute his hair. I guess to show he's maturing?

I'm glad they changed it back to third person. I can see how that would be very disorienting to some people.

I'm sure someone will figure out how to upload the cutscenes on Youtube at the very least.

Yes. It's very easy actually. I imagine there are other ways but I am sure everything will be uploaded on YouTube in no time :)

awesome :)

Soooo basically there isn't just one all powerful keyblade now but two? I can see the backstory now. Both always existed and the one to return people was ultimately used to shatter the xblade to finally end said war.

May there be an hidden message? I wrote out which words stay longer than the others:
1. the book of prophecies
2. Your quest for light | Keyblade wielder
3. Rely On Others
4. the truth | good idea
5. the five unions | different things
6. my wielder | disappeared
7. There IS a traitor
8. the dream

My thinking about the chi trailer and the scene where you can see a guy in a robe and the foretellers is, that Xehanort is indeed their Master and is telling them about the book of prophecies (you can see a book lying behind him). He gave each of them an Keyblade to fight the darkness. They produced more keyblades and gave them to their followers. Later on the 5 unions clash in the first ancient keyblade war. Well that would be my theory about what KH Chi might be telling to us. It is known that Xehanort can transfer his heart into a new body, so it would be possible for him to survive until the day we're currently in, near the 2. Keyblade War. Also this theory would explain why Xehanorts Keyblade is the most ancient one (stated in DDD). That means it is older than the foretellers keyblades. This would also explain, why it has the same features as their keyblades. An Animal Head (Chimera) and the eye of darkness.
The one thing that doesn't fit the theory is the 6th apprentace. Who would that be?

What are your thoughts on Nomura saying to pay close attention to what is said in the trailer? Do you think he was just joking or do you thing there might actually be a meaning or secret hidden in the Chi trailer?

I apologize if my english isn't that great, I am narrative german.
DommeUG

Your English is fine, don't worry!

I don't think he's implying that there's a hidden message. Rather, he's referring to the text themselves and how they relate to the story. If one of the other members familiar with Chi doesn't post an explanation about it first, I can explain the context of them later.

Thanks! :)
I do understand the context of what is being said in the trailer. I just had thought that there could me some more.
Thanks for replying ;)
