I don’t think we’ll get any Famitsu world reveals this time around. Original ones maybe, depending how many there will be. But the handhelds and even the previous main titles most likely didn’t have the marketing budget that Kingdom Hearts 3 does which is why marketing through magazines was more beneficial for them. With only 2-3 Disney worlds left to reveal and this being the age of viral marketing, I think all Disney worlds will be revealed through a trailer that can be quickly spread around the internet.
There will surely still be some magazine exclusive stuff covering mini games and other smaller content.
They could still have this month
(depending on if Famitsu, Dengeki or Jump magazine plan to reveal ANYTHING related to KH3) be dedicated to
Olympus and
Kingdom of Corona, which while yes they were seen in previous articles mostly as Images or snippets we have yet to see what the Character renders for Rapunzel, Flynn Rider and the
Hercules characters look like in promotional material.
Then around Mid-late September/Early October we will have articles dedicated to the Official reveal of the Big Hero 6 world and another new world announced (original or a new revealed Disney world along with its characters) from the Tokyo Game Show event.
If they want to start showing off the rest of the worlds for the game before release, it's likely they should start doing them like now instead of waiting at the End of September/Early October just like how HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue was handeled. So the possible worlds that will be in the next magazine scans from Famitsu, Dengeki PlayStation, are:
- Mid-late August/Early September 2018 - Kingdom of Corona (Tangled) and Olympus (Hercules) (showing most of the new Character renders for the Hercules and Tangled characters along with new scenes and information regarding these worlds that weren't shown in past trailers and articles). Maybe Twilight Town (unless they want to save it for the September or October Magazine articles)
- Mid-late September/Early October 2018 - San Fransokyo (Big Hero 6), 100 Acre Wood (Winnie the Pooh) and/or another new World (Original or Disney, I'd pick the former)
- October 2018 - Twilight Town (unless revealed much earlier) and Radiant Garden
- November 2018 - Cable Town, and the Classic Kingdom Games
- December 2018 - the Final Disney world
- Early January 2019 - The Final world where we Battle against Master Xehanort and the 13 Seekers of Darkness, Overview of the worlds in KH3, mini-games and the game itself before launch.
These are the only demos that will be taken around to trade shows. It costs a lot to prepare multiple demos, and it is time that should be spent on focusing on actually getting the game done.
It may be a dead horse, but its a dead horse that you need to accept because it is all we are getting. Besides, it's exciting being able to go to one of these and actually play Kingdom Hearts III. It doesn't matter that the demo is three battles and then a Giga fight or the Rock Titan boss, it's all about getting people to try it out and see what Square Enix have come up with.
People shared the same sentiments after the Cinderella world was taken to practically every convention under the sun back in 2016. But still, a lot of the rest of 0.2 was kept in the dark and they didn't need to cut out multiple demos for people to try. It was a delightful treat because of that.
You're right and I'm sorry about that, like I said nothing wrong with SE showing the same demos, and guess
"I need to roll with the Punches".
Personally, I only want to see snippets of other worlds. I feel like so much has already been discovered in Toy Box and I’d rather save the rest of that for when I play the full game. With that in mind, I would like if future trailers showed very little of the worlds we’ve already seen aside from cutscenes. Maybe a bit more of Pirates or Arendelle.
However, seeing as I’ll absorb anything they show, I wouldn’t be entirely opposed if they released direct feed gameplay footage of Corona and/or Monster’s Inc. It would let people see more of what these worlds are like without the hassle of another full demo.
I actually wouldn't mind seeing direct-feed gameplay footage of the
Tangled and
Monster's Inc. worlds and would see more footage of these worlds but that is up to Square Enix themselves and the marketing team. Maybe Gamescom perhaps Tokyo Game Show they will have Direct Feed gameplay of these worlds.
(And no cutscene leaks this time since they could pre-edit them out..)
Yup, that's what happened with the Toy Box world demo when Gamespot leaked 23 minutes of gameplay and the leaked images which is why starting at E3 onwards SE trimmed the Toy Box demo to have it end after Sora defeated the Gigas.
