Really was not expecting Cid to be revealed this way! Plus Riku gets a Shotlock :O!!!
For real though, those FF renders look sick. If only they could officially release the renders for the rest of the original cast :(

I REALLY wasn’t expecting Cid to have such a pretty face. Thinking about it, I don’t know if we’ve ever seen him in KH with a HQ animated face. He always had the fish face, iirc.
And that means Roxas probably gets a shotlock too!
So happy that the Restoration Committee came back. Too bad they didnt get new outfits but then again neither did Donald and Goofy, lol

Nah, the picture of playable Roxas doesn't have a focus gauge :(
Now that Leon is back I do hope Rinoa gets a mention, even if it isnt by name. I hope Aerith mentions Cloud as well since I doubt he will appear

Wait, it could still be stand in footage, right?! Remember, every time we saw Roxas' "gameplay", it only featured the three moves he had as a party member. I can't imagine a functional first player experience that would be so unnecessarily limited. My theory is that: since Roxas didn't have any base gameplay already created the way that Riku and Aqua did, they're having to start almost from scratch with him. Then again, Kairi's looks pretty complete, so maybe they just got lazy (wouldn't surprise me).

Yeah it’ll be weird if Roxas is left as the only playable character in these fights with no shotlock. Maybe he’ll have a situation command to make up for it or something.

They would have his moveset complete and these screens would have been taken from a more recent build. If he had a shotlock, he'd have a shotlock. And after them reusing Riku's Reverse/Rebirth stained glass pattern for his heart, are we really that surprised by a little bit of cut corners?

It'd seriously suck if they cut corners with Roxas and no one else. Especially since it was one of the few things I was legitimately looking forward to. Still, this is why I keep my expectations low I guess *shrug*
Cid! Didn't expect to see him so soon.

stream.

Also Sora looks like he’s gonna pull a Jak and start cussing in the next game.
Cid confirmed. The RG cast look really nice. Like seeing Yuffie looking mischievous. If Sora doesn't interact with them then I don't see a reason to bring up Cloud, sadly. Riku doesn't know him or his story, but it could still happen.
Yeah, Yuffie totally looks the best of the bunch, but she always did anyway :P
So Aerith, Leon, Yuffie, and Cid are finally back, really digging the new renders.
Also, does anyone notice that Yuffie has Violet/Purple Eyes right now (unless I'm the one having a Mandela effect). But it's more vibrant compared to her render and appearance back in Kingdom Hearts II. I could've sworn her eyes were brown or black in KH2 and KH1.

That's the Power of the Unreal Engine 4 for you. At least we won't have to worry on anymore Fish Face expressions of the characters as shown from the Hercules characters, the Winnie the Pooh characters, Jiminy Cricket, Maleficent, Pete, among others where they had more expression and look much more animated than in past games.

They are just more vibrant, you can see that in the KH2 pic you posted or in this one from KH1:[SPOILER]

Unless Nomura remembers KH2's ending, then I don't think he'll mention her. But since FFVIII got recently remastered, it's possible. Same goes for Aerith mentioning Cloud, but that's more probable because the FFVII Remake is on the horizon.

You actually gave me the idea of Cloud somehow meeting up with Sora in Shibuya. Who knows maybe he perished after settling his conflict with Sephiroth and he could have ended up in limbo alongside Sora.
Cid has the babiest old man face I've ever seen on 30 year old.
Yay, Cid! Was worried he'd be left out.
I really like how Kairi's retribution attack has Wayfinders in it.

Hey, if that theory about MoM gathering people from different worldlines comes to pass, it could happen. We could see Sora, Riku, Cloud, Yozora, Neku, Lann and Reynn, who knows who else.
You know, the new Sora render looks like something that would work in Smash Ultimate. Heck, someone even did a photoshop edit where they turned up the brightness, and now it's even more legit-looking:
...for an edited render, anyways.

At least Setzer and Vivi would’ve made sense appearing in Twilight Town because they’re residents of it, even if they were just non interactable bystanders. But yeah, for the Gullwings to appear in a world that isn’t explotable and clearly just for cutscenes, would make no sense. They had no relevance in KH2 and just there for fan service.

Tbh, Tifa ALSO had no relevance in KH2 imao, cause aside from helping out during the Battle of the 1000 Heartless, along with t
eaming up with Sora,
and fighting briefly against Sephiroth, she was just "there" in Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden and all she did was just go on a "goose chase" searching for Cloud.On top of that, aside from Cloud and Sephiroth she even doesn't acknowledge nor pay ANY attention to her other FFVIII co-stars (Aerith, Yuffie, Cid) even when she asked Sora that she was looking for Cloud as "someone with "spikey hair"" Sora just acted clueless, which is funny and ironic cause when SDG returned back to Hollow Bastion in KH2 (during 2nd visit) they met Cloud, I mean come on Sora who else had spikier hair besides you.

Not to take away from your point but the bolded was intentional:
| ---Speaking of Tifa, there's an event where she talked to Cloud after beating Sephiroth. Nomura: n Nojima-san's scenario, it explained Cloud and Tifa's connection more in-depth but I deleted it away. I thought it would be more interesting to let the gamers think about it. For example, "If Cloud's darkness is Sephiroth, then Tifa is light"; in that sense you can take it that Tifa isn't really human. The reason Tifa doesn't talk to anyone else besides Sora and co. may be because she doesn't exist as a human. Of course, I also presented her in a way that she could also be a resident of Hollow Bastion, so I think you can freely think for yourself about her. |
I love how serious Sora looks in that render. More of that, please!
Just once I'd like to see normal-sized Ansem bust out the double-bladed Souleater. Did they completely forget that was a thing?

And this is why Tifa is my least favorite FF cameo character. At least the Gullwings brought some humor in their appearances and were entertaining. Even Setzer and Vivi played a role in Roxas's fake amnesia life. Tifa felt like nothing but walking Advent Children advertisement, and it frustrates me because Tifa is actually a pretty good character in FFVII. She had potential in KH2. I mean Cloud, Aerith, and Yuffie have their Advent Children gear on but they at least felt like they were part of Sora's world. And I detest when Tifa asked the trio if they had seen a guy with spiky hair and doesn't give a name. They knew Cloud and could have bonded together in helping him out. Anyway I need to stop or I'll go into a big Tifa rant. I hope she is not in ReMind. I'm being totally childish right now. The only Tifa I want to see is the FFVII Remake Tifa!

Maybe they'll use their heads and realize all the magical Disney characters they are connected to and try and wish Sora and Kairi back. Fairy Godmother, Genie, Merlin, Yen Sid, take your pick at all the magic they could use to try and help. Forget world order this is a emergency.
Anyway cool to see this character back.

FINALLY, someone mentions it. The question is what is SHE doing here? What plans does Nomura have for HER of all Disney characters? Personally, I have a few ideas. Fairy Godmother's inclusion may involve A: helping Merlin with Lea & Kairi's training, or B: Simply there to be...perhaps Kairi's Fairy Godmother, a person who can guide Kairi and Kairi alone. A personal mentor that Mickey has with Yen Sid. One thing's for sure, it's good to see her again, after the events of 1.
Wasn't Fairy Godmother suppose to be a character Riku and Mickey ask about TAV? Could be used as that for extra plot in their failed search. We are getting more story details after all.
How awesome would it be if Terra and Aqua both suggested they seek out the Fairy Godmother?

They just mention people who know about TAV. I, don't think Fairy Godmother in specific was mentioned. But...you're not wrong. In fact, there're a lot of people Riku & Mickey could've asked in regards of TAV. Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora for one comes to mind. Perhaps more info on the Princesses of Heart and who they're tossing the baton to.

Doesn't give much hope to me. If Maleficent is to distance herself from the plot, then odds are it'll stay the same in the DLC.

I think a [S]scrapped[/S] plot was re-using the 0.2 assets to semi-rebuild Castle of Dreams, Enchanted Dominion, and Dwarf Woodlands to have Riku and Mickey trace the connection between those characters and Aqua, since the power of waking is the tracing the connection between hearts to get to worlds. Guess they've found a way to re-use Fairy Godmother in a new way.

She'll probably appear in a similar capacity to that of the Restoration Committee. I can't imagine it being too much more based on what we know her "role" was supposed to be.

It's a breath of fresh air seeing characters with animated faces. Like...you really don't understand how happy I was with characters that NEVER had proper face animation. Chip, Dale, Scrooge, Merlin, Aerith, The list goes on & on.

I think the theory of that being the original story came out way before that Ultimania interview.
Riku and Mickey get to the Realm of Darkness but the trail they're following goes cold so they decide to leave and regroup (and get new weapons). That's when they decide to retrace Aqua's footsteps but we only ever see them in Radiant Garden.
With Riku and Mickey being Masters, and Sora needing to perfect the Power of Waking, surely it would have been a more stronger thematic tie to showcase Riku and Mickey tracing the hearts connected to Aqua to actually pinpoint her in the Realm of Darkness, right? It's just learning about them having made the Fairy Godmother render that added fuel to this idea.
This is probably my one wish for what should have been in the base game. Everything else, I'm fine with being included in Re Mind, but showcasing Riku and Mickey actually using their Master powers and us seeing them retrace Aqua's steps while meeting the hearts of those she touched would have been absolutely wonderful.
Poor Cid has never had a costume change. Snappy old grease monkey probably doesn't even want plaid-updated threads. Seriously though, that render is based off of his KH1 illustration. ;0;
Cinderella is one of my favorites, so I'm happy to see the Fairy Godmother again. I'm hoping she'll have an actual function (seeing as the devs wanted to include her initially) rather than a cutscene or two for fanservice. :cool:
I feel way more excited to see the Fairy Godmother than I probably should be. But I am!
With all these character and environment assets in place for Radiant Garden, it seems like a shame to not have it playable. It would be nice for this Riku section to be more than just cutscenes.

Yeah, I’d also like to see them discover the basement beneath the castle so Aqua can recover her armor from the Chamber of Repose. Riku and Aqua could also discover something about Subject X while they’re there.

I actually wonder, if Aqua can retrieve her Keyblade by simply returning to Radient Garden.
I get that she couldn't summon it across realms, but across worlds or a world should be possible I'd think.
The armor itself might require them finding the chamber.

I actually wonder, if Aqua can retrieve her Keyblade by simply returning to Radient Garden.

I was thinking this as well, because now that she's back in the Realm of Light, she should be able to summon her armor like she would be able to summon her Keyblade. Now that she retired Master's Defender, that honestly is a plot point that they should for sure touch on for the next game. The Keyblade itself shouldn't be an issue unless it only acts within a certain range of the wielder's heart. Kinda like how you Bluetooth speakers work, and you've only got so much distance before your device (like a phone) disconnects.
I wonder just how different the story would've played out if Aqua had her armor, though. Maybe Nomura had the idea of Anti-Aqua as far back as BBS Final Mix.

Can the armor also be summoned like a Keyblade? I don't remember this.
I think there could be a range for the Keyblade to be able to find it's wielder, though it's hard to say.
Like we don't know why Ven's and Terra's Keyblades could travel to the RoD to help her, yet her own and Master's Defender couldn't. Maybe it depends on if they're in hammer space or not?

I could see that, especially with him establishing that the armor would ward off Darkness, which she could have used in those 10 years.

The armor has a button to press, usually on the pauldron or around that area. So once pressed, the wearer would automatically summon the armor onto their body instantly. The mechanics of it function pretty similarly to a Keyblade, and Aqua's design remains the same as it always has since BBS, so pressing the button should still be possible.
Xemnas had it locked up, though. So it's possible that those rooms in the basement might have special properties that prevent this.

Yeah, there's probably a threshold limit to what it could take, but her walking around in the armor wouldn't have stressed it by any means. I definitely think even from BBS, Aqua was planned to have a fall to Darkness one way or another, 0.2 flirted with this a lot. Since we never did get BBS Vol. 2 (and that game was hinted in BBS Final Mix I believe), I really think that this was a concept he had planned for a while now. Because BBS Vol. 2 would've most likely touched on stuff from 0.2, just much more fleshed out.

I guess I just wanted other Final Fantasy representatives outside of Final Fantasy VII to return. I get that Leon's back, but he's the leader of the Radiant Garden restoration committee so he was a given along with the rest of the gang.
If the role of these Final Fantasy characters in this game is to help find Sora, maybe Tidus, Wakka and Selphie are back and are used to help track down Sora, too?

Yeah, I’d also like to see them discover the basement beneath the castle so Aqua can recover her armor from the Chamber of Repose. Riku and Aqua could also discover something about Subject X while they’re there.

Russi died before recording for Re Mind began
Seeing as how the Fairy Godmother was related to the Summons back in KH1, there may be a possibility she could give some more lore explanation about the Summons in this game.
That, or she's related to Riku and Mickey tracing back Aqua.

It's the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella, I love her new render. Not surprised since she was set to be in Kingdom Hearts III according to the Ultimania, before she was removed from the final game.
Perhaps, she's in Radiant Garden with the Restoration Committee substituting for Merlin while he was training Kairi and Lea and later having Tea at Le Grand Bistrot in Twilight Town.
Now I'm curious when English voice work for ReMind began and wether Russi Taylor recorded lines for the Fairy Godmother before she passed away in July? However, going by Richard Epcar's interview it seems that voiceover work started around Late August early September, thus making it unlikely Russi recorded new lines, so perhaps Fairy Godmother gets a new Voice Actress.

She'll probably appear in a similar capacity to that of the Restoration Committee. I can't imagine it being too much more based on what we know her "role" was supposed to be.

I am almost certain she is going to be a part of Riku’s journey looking for Sora.
Really excited to see what role the Fairy Godmother is going to play. She's gotta be doing something special because otherwise she feels like such an odd inclusion. Something with Aqua, maybe?

Also, it’s kinda poetic to have Riku meet the people Sora met and helped him a lot when he started his journey. The FF gang, then Merlin, then Fairy Godmother.
They would each have some sort of comforting or guiding words to set Riku on the right path.

Agreed. I always found it a bit odd and disappointing that the Fairy Godmother wasn't that involved in the series after KH1. She was part of the people helping Sora too, maybe not so much as the others but still. I know she appeared in BBS but that was mainly for the movie plot. We didn't even get to see her and Cinderella reunite after Hollow Bastion.
Good thing the Fairy Godmother was revealed just when some of us was certain Re:MIND would have zero Disney material

I think considering how detailed Sora is in places like PotC or the new render in the “abyss”, it’s clear the look is intentional.
I do think they could work to make it look better, though. WoFF captured the best evolution of the visual style of previous KH games more than KH3 ever has haha

Yeah, WoFF visual style looks pretty nice.
I wish they managed to imitate the style of the e3 announcement CG trailer. Loved the look of it, seemed like a nice evolution of what a next gen kh title could look like. The 2.8 gummi ship scene had a similar shading look but for some reason they dropped it.
Maybe it was something they couldn't manage to do with current gen consoles but i hope it's something they try again with next gen.

Kinda like how they were looking for Aqua. I think it's the best course of action, seeing as how there's no better way to find someone who's heart is connected to literally everyone than by talking to the people he's most connected with.

Getting some flashbacks to when Sora, Hayner, Pence, and Olette were "looking for" Roxas early on in KH3. Which, naturally, didn't do them any good since Roxas hadn't come back into existence yet regardless, so... With that in mind, what good is running around and talking to random people (that probably don't even know Sora is dead) going to do to help bring Sora back? Riku and Co are more connected to him than anyone else, so by that same logic, shouldn't their combined efforts alone be enough to find/restore him? From a logistical standpoint, this strategy just doesn't make much sense to me. At least, not upfront.

All hearts and connected and Riku is tracing that connection in order to open up a portal to Sora.

What? Unless excluding Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy and arguably Mickey, Sora doesn't know like...half these guardians personally unlike the Restoration Committee and all his friends he met during his earlier adventures. They have the bigger connection to him since they actually know him and he knows them. Even though he has his connection to Roxas, they still hardly personally knew each other besides some memories they saw but that doesn't count as them "knowing each other". I'm sorry but your comment makes no sense to me whatsover.
This course of action Riku and the others are taking is sound. Riku talking to the people Sora's had strong connections to in the past is the best way to trace some steps to Sora especially when those people could provide them with a clue especially since those other guardians clearly couldn't do so since Riku mentioned they couldn't find a clue on their own.
With that said, back to being on hiatus thanks to work.

...... What a strange reply.
Sorry if Sora physically connecting to Ven's heart and sheltering it for years isn't a strong enough "connection" for you. Sorry if being the literal Nobody of Sora, who had not only housed some of the boy's memories at one point, but even shared all of his own with him in tern, doesn't count as "knowing him personally." Sorry if literally having power over Sora's memories and everyone connected to him (Namine) "makes no sense" to you. Nevermind Xion, who effectively spawned from Sora's memories and was molded by him during his sleep (as said by Xemnas), or Lea, who's known Sora since KH2 at the very least (though his heart would still recall the feelings from Re Chain).
I genuinely don't know what else to say this really. You're downplaying his relationship with these characters in order to justify this thought process, and it's just not working. Still, this wasn't meant to be a debate.

Trace steps? From what? Find clues.. to WHAT?? What exactly could the Restoration Committee, who again, likely didn't even know Sora was dead, possibly offer as a "clue" to his fate when Riku (who was there) can't? When Namine (apparently) can't?
What part about this course of action is so "sound"? Because you've failed to make the logistics clear to me, and failed to show me how my own own reasoning was flawed. I don't, and will never object to the FF characters being brought back into the story (obviously), but if it was for the purpose [USER=212126]@Ballad of Caius[/USER] suggested, then I find the reasoning to be pretty flimsy. If say, they had actual, tangible intel on Sora's current whereabouts, or tools to help assist in his return, then you'd have something. But what, truthfully, could these characters have to offer in terms of "clues" that say, Yen Sid, for example, couldn't?

No, because Riku understands that the Power of Waking should not be abused the way Sora did because he’ll just find himself in the abyss like Sora and what good will that do to save him? I don’t think it matters how close Riku is to Sora in this case. It’s likely why he’s seeking out Sora’s friends. If he is going to do it right, he needs to establish a connection to Sora by using the hearts of Sora’s friends.
What Sora did was not the right way to use the Power of Waking. Even YX admonishes him for the way he uses the ability. Hearts to worlds, not worlds to hearts.
What I imagine is that Riku will follow them trail and that will lead him to the “abyss” or wherever Sora ends up regardless, but without the side affect of him losing his power like Sora by using it wrong.

I like this. This totally makes sense, and is actually a very in-character thing for Riku to do. Even though he allowed Sora to act recklessly before, that doesn't mean he's going to be going the same way. Lol, it really is DDD all over again isn't it? Riku acting as Sora's guardian, while the other is trapped there by forces outside of his control. Only this time, I imagine Chirithy made him aware of what he was risking before he dove too far (which is what I imagine we're hearing in the trailer).
Actually.... Hang on a moment, didn't Chirithy re appear in the Realm of Light at the end of KH3? Unless there's more worldline insanity, couldn't it have simply told everyone outright what to do?
"May our heart be our guiding key."
I think this is how Riku will find Sora. I imagine he'll interact with hearts connected with him in order to nurture his connection with Sora, he'll go to the Realm of Darkness with Aqua, raise his Keyblade and it will open a gateway to the Abyss that resides between the Realm of Darkness and the Final World. I imagine this Abyss could be the Dusk Final World and that's how he'll end up in Shinjuku. Or they will end up in Shinjuku. We don't see Aqua in the Secret Ending, but perhaps she'll accompany Riku.

I’m hoping Aqua goes with Riku to Shinjuku. If she really says something about “the three of us” in the Japanese trailer, maybe she was talking about her, Riku, and Sora. If we get an extended secret ending this time like we usually do with Final Mixes, revealing Aqua is there too would be a nice development. I’d love to see her in the new art style.
Then maybe we could even get another game that focuses on the remaining heroes in the Realm of Light while the big three are off on their own adventure.

I do think they could work to make it look better, though. WoFF captured the best evolution of the visual style of previous KH games more than KH3 ever has haha
I'm really surprised KH3 didn't go that route in terms of visuals.I do think they could work to make it look better, though. WoFF captured the best evolution of the visual style of previous KH games more than KH3 ever has haha
Why couldn't KH3 look like thiiiiiis?! ;A;

Wow! WoFF has beautiful visuals. Now that I have a Playstation 4 I want to play this game so much. I've always loved the style of WoFF.

They really wanted to make those individual strands of hair while still keeping it as a solid piece for whatever reason. It upsets me so much.
KH3 should have at least implemented the Yebis middleware that created the really nice smooth and sharp visuals of WoFF (if it was even feasible with UE4). The really nice distance blur in cutscenes and fixed areas, the pop of light, the sharp detail on close-range items.
ughh, guess it is time to replay it xD

oh my god yes! You should! It’s one of my favorite games of 2016 and I definitely recommend it. WoFF also does this thing where it knows the lore is ridiculous and it tells you straight up that it is being silly for the sake of being silly.

Missed this earlier, but we already have renders of Ansem the Wise and Young Xehanort.

What about Xigbar, Saïx, Aqua, Ventus and Terra? Their renders haven't been released publicly as well, nor are they in the gallery.
Also how did you got Young Xehanort's Higher quality render?!??!

Young Xehanort is from an old Dengeki article. Here's Xigbar though:

From which Dengeki, cause their like hundreds perhaps thousands of Dengeki articles related to KH3 to find that specific render of him.
Come to think of it, I'm still perplexed why Square Enix didn't bother releasing renders for the rest of the True Organization XIII prior to KH3's release.

Well now it sounds like you have some sort of ulterior motive so I'm just going to let you find it on your own :p
