News ► New Kingdom Hearts III Footage at 2.5 Launch Event!

[Taochan]

Brand new Kingdom Hearts III footage has been confirmed by our very own Sign, Master Spockanort and Zephyr who are currently attending the launch event for Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX-!

Some of the new footage includes:

-Sora is seen in his Kingdom Hearts II Valor form outfit, no new outfit reveal.
-Land of Departure from Birth by Sleep has been confirmed in the new footage and is said to be massive.
-Brand new Heartless designs have also been shown, described to look like "gladiators".
-Textures for new Heartless are incomplete.
-Land of Departure has been revamped; main building now very closely resembles a tower seen in the Kingdom Hearts browser game χ[chi].
-Sora's Keyblade is confirmed to transform into dual guns.
-Sora's dual guns then transform into a cannon.
-Sora is seen in a library/study, facing a large window with curtains. What looks like chess pieces line the window ledge with crown and heart tops.
-The lighting for the game is incredibly beautiful. Sora is bathed in a soft glow while standing in front of the window.
-The footage is raw and very unlikely to be released online to the public soon.
- Huge applause for Birth by Sleep footage in the pre-show trailers!
- The letter "chi" was on a blackboard within the library/study in the KH3 footage
- The letters "CT" could be seen under the Land of Departure-looking world. Looks similar to LoD but possibly is not the world.
- Built on what looks like a hilly area with lots of homes and buildings on them.
- Valor Form and Wisdom Form were definitely the outfits Sora switched between

Keep checking back for more exciting information and let us know what you think!

Really excited to see the Land of Departure's new design? And the Heartless designs!

Edit: Oh wait, raw and unlikely to be shown to the public soon? Less excited now...

I'm silently very excited about this one, because not only Land of Departure deserves more screen time (and expanded, at that!), but also because it now may be related to Chi. Is the tower the one seen in Daybreak Town, I wonder?

Wow. Much hype.

 

[Dandelion]

I KNEW this game would have a chess motif. I imagine Eraqus and Xehanort's little discussion takes place over a game of chess.

 

[ultima-demi]

Gah..why must i be hyped about this especially seeing we won't be seeing any of this posted online anytime soon.

Don't be too disheartened. I imagine we will see it once it's polished. C:

 

[Bethany Frye]

OH MY GOSH! I am so excited to see the Land of Departure again! This is wonderful! Q_Q

I hope we get this leaked on youtube soon...

 

[Zettaflare]

Awesome, drive forms are coming back.

If LOD is seen this early, then I guess Ventus(and by extension, possibly Aqua) will be saved sooner than we though

 

[rawpower]

GAAAH I want to see those heartless designs! I really liked the dream eaters from 3D and I'm hoping for more dinosaur-like enemies.

 

[Bethany Frye]

That's a very good point. For the Land of Departure to be back to normal Ventus would of had to be awakened, right? I can't wait to see how they bring them back.

 

[ultima-demi]

So is it safe to say drive forms will pretty much be back,it'll be nice to see how drive forms will look on his new outfit.

Especially would like to see each form get it's own limit attacks like limit form.

Well now we can guess the theme of the new enemy type.

Because its a main game, there's gotta a new enemy type.

 

[Zettaflare]

Pretty much. I didn't expect those two to be saved this early though

Well now we can guess the theme of the new enemy type.

Instead of a new type, I just hope its a mix of everything we've seen so far. Heartless and Nobodies are a given, Unversed if Vanitas is back, Dream Eaters would be tricky, and Bugs if data is being made real by some means

If anything I think they could just do chess themed enemies with new Heartless and Nobodies, kinda makes sense with black and white

 

[Antar]

OH MY GOD! THE HYPE! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

Wow. Much hype.

I liked Land of Departure too. They can definitely do a lot more with it. But again if they're going to include stuff from Chi in KH3 they need to localize the game first. That's the only thing that's bothering me.

That'd be freakishly awesome. Though I don't see how they'd bring the Dream Eaters or Bugs back. Who knows? they may even have to visit a sleeping world again or something.

 

[OathkeeperRoxas XIII]

I'll be up all night for this and homework, I wanna see the revamp Land of Departure and everything.

Didn't expect a trailer now.

 

[ultima-demi]

Reading how massive they've made Land of departure makes me more hyped in seeing older worlds returning and just how much bigger in comparison it'll be from previous iterations.

 

[Ruran]

I would still consider this somewhat of a concept trailer since it's obvious that not all the details are worked out so I wouldn't consider everything to a T yet. Land of Departure showing up just means that it was easier to get done and that other worlds aren't ready to be shown yet. Doesn't necessarily mean much in terms of stoy.

With that said, I'm so happy that it's going to be massive! I get the reasons why, but it was disappointing how small it was in BbS. I really want to explore the castle and the training areas. LoD just looks like it's intended to be huge and I can't wait for it to get the overhaul it deserves.
