After years of speculation and hope, it has finally been confirmed. Pixar animations first feature film, Toy Story, will be making it's debut in Kingdom Hearts 3. The world, which was revealed at D23 earlier today.
The world has Sora, Donald, and Goofy change into toys and will have Sora work with Woody and Buzz to find the missing Andy and fellow toys, who have been taken away by a man in a black hood.
Today SQUARE ENIX® and Disney unveiled a new KINGDOM HEARTS III trailer that shines a spotlight on the first world in the KINGDOM HEARTS series to be based on a Disney•Pixar film, “Toy Story.” Director of the KINGDOM HEARTS series, Tetsuya Nomura, premiered the trailer during The Walt Disney Company’s Video Game Showcase at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California.
The new trailer follows Sora, Donald Duck and Goofy to Andy’s room as they join Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Hamm, Rex and Sarge’s investigation into the disappearance of their fellow toys and Andy, and the emergence of the Heartless enemies in their world. Featuring an original storyline, fans will get a first look at the dynamic trio’s “Toy Story”-themed looks, all-new toys, such as the Gigas, and special Keyblades that transform and give Sora unique attacks to unleash on Heartless enemies.
“At long last, we are excited to open up the KINGDOM HEARTS universe to include the world of Disney•Pixar's ‘Toy Story,’” said Tetsuya Nomura, Director of the KINGDOM HEARTS series. “I'm sure fans have been anticipating the inclusion of this world for many years. The narrative will be an original story exclusive to KINGDOM HEARTS III, and the gameplay will feel characteristic of the ‘Toy Story’ style and aesthetic. Please stay tuned for more details to be revealed soon.”
“Featuring a brand new storyline that brings together beloved ‘Toy Story’ friends with the heroes of KINGDOM HEARTS, the ‘Toy Story’ world in KINGDOM HEARTS III successfully mirrors the level of quality that we strive to achieve with every Pixar film,” said Jason Katz, Story Supervisor, Pixar Animation Studios. “KINGDOM HEARTS III will undoubtedly be an experience that fans will not want to miss.”

I'm amazed at how amazing the disney characters look (Soar, Dolan and Gooby are good, too) and then there's ugly-as-fuck-Xehanort and I'm crying my eyes out laughing. xD
I loved the world tho.
nomura got his wish after how many years sine the first kh game
I'm going to say the Toy Story world sets between two and three, but that's I think but it's awesome both Woody and Buzz are party members
This was really amazing.
(Here's the first part without the text overlay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boygLgPKq4s)
I nearly choked when I first saw andys room lmao. The guys from Pixar seemed completely onboard with the idea.. and the models look amazing. They really do look like they came straight from the movie! That being said, young xehanort looked a bit off at the end. It's like his eyes are spaced a little too far apart imo
[FONT=Whitney][FONT=inherit][FONT=inherit][FONT=inherit] [FONT=arial]I did not see this coming, this world was not even [/FONT] [FONT=arial]in[/FONT] my predictions list that I posted last year. I want to see INSIDE OUT!
The possibilities of Pixar worlds have multiplied, which films though?
[/FONT]
[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=arial]When will the English dubbed trailers come out though, I wanna see if the original voices for Toy Story come back!
If this game is coming out in 2018, then I feel I wanna bring my prediction game back for everyone to speculate again![/FONT]
So, I'm so excited there are more than one party member being added at once lol. But I wish I could you know actually see them fight ha. Since Sora is doing like 20 spins in the air at all times I can never see them. I kind of feel they may not have fully programmed their AI though? They seem rather stagnant at times. Hope Woody uses his lasso and Buzz uses his laser.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Okay, so the guns are shooting arrows that have hearts at the end like feathers. That's adorable. Also the outfit for the change looks nicer than the Shield one for sure.[/FONT]
The character models for the Toy Story characters blew me away! I can't believe how good they look! It really makes me wonder how the Big Hero 6 and Tangled characters are gonna look (it's disappointing we didn't get to see them this time, but the Toy Story reveal and release year was more than enough). So happy Nomura finally gets to put the world in a KH game, and it looks fantastic!
So was Young Xehanort an action figure at the end? He looked kind of stiff and plastic.

I don't think so lol, he just looked that way ha.

Judging by the dialogue and camera angles, I'm pretty sure he's a regular sized human.
A team of five, SDG & Buzz & Woody - unprecedented in KH, but very FFIV of them~ <3
My heart swells at this glorious news. *u*
So was Young Xehanort an action figure at the end? He looked kind of stiff and plastic.
I think it's just lighting and texture work that needs to be touched up a bit. I agree he looked off though. Kind of like Xemnas and Ansem at the end of the Orchestra trailer.
Okay, I didn't expect something THIS COOL. I'm so excited, especially now we know the year! Everything looks fantastic, those graphics are awesome, but...
Young Xehanort face looks derp af. I mean, his face looks like one of those funny rpg characters you create:
Oh hey, the site's working again. XD
The very second the cutscene started playing, I knew and was in tears happy that Toy Story has finally made it into the series. I'm just, LOOK AT THEM!! THEY LOOK JUST AS GOOD AS THE IN THE MOVIES!!
And then Young Xehanort appears at the end and I'm just laughing at how odd he looks.
Also, the place Sora is fighting the boss in the Hercules part is Thebes, isn't it? Please tell me were finally going to Thebes!

Fudge...
We're going to Thebes
Now that we've seen 5 party members I wonder if we can squeeze two more in there. If they have LEGIT figured out how to program a 7 vs 13 battle. o.o
Does anybody have any guesses on what Toy Story's world will be named? Don't think it will be 'Andy's Room' since we get to go outside and go to that toy store.
I think Xehanort's a toy. His hair isn't as detailed as their life sized versions.

Didn't we go to Thebes in BbS? I could be wrong, but I think we went there.
Anyway, the trailer is amazing. All they really need now is one more trailer released at the start of 2018 with some main story info and confirmed release date, and I think that would be enough.
I cannot believe how good the Toy Story world looks. It was like watching the movie.
I'm really sorry about the down time everyone! It's just me running things here so I've been struggling along with all of y'all. I really hope this announcement makes up for the forums being a bit dicky today :)
Also OP updated with plot info and quotes.
Didn't we go to Thebes in BbS? I could be wrong, but I think we went there.
We did, though it was just a courtyard no bigger than Andy's Room. =p This seems a much more sizeable play-space!
I'm going to laugh so hard if SDG have to pretend to be inanimate around normal people XD.
So far, three "Disney" worlds out of three seem to have original story, and that's the best news ever received in years.
Lest's just hope things are really intertwined with the main story and it's not DDD all over again, with Young appearing for cripting warnings and that's it.
I'm starting to get a bit nervous about all these "cool" moves. I'm really hoping the battle doesn't get interrupted like that every time I do something.
Worlds seem big and different, let's hope they're not just overloaded with enemies and that they have something else in them. Again, no DDD sequel pls.
Young's model is really bad.
Wow, didn't see that coming. Glad we have four party members making it posable for a five character ass whooping. With Toy Sory,we might get Inside Out, or The Incredibles. The models look just..wow! AND YOU GET GAINT ROBOTS! YES!
We did, though it was just a courtyard no bigger than Andy's Room. =p This seems a much more sizeable play-space!
Right, I remembered that it was only a square that had no other places to go. Thanks for the reminder.
The question really is if Xehanort is a toy here. I rewatched the ending bit, and it seems like Sora is pushing something back. At first I thought it was Xehanort's keyblade, but I can't make out what it is. Could it be Xehanort's foot? Sora is definitely looking up and Xehanort looking down.
Also, the way that Buzz describes Xehanort is a "guy" and not "toy". So they probably saw Xehanort appear in Andy's Room with the toy-sized heartless.
Excuse me while I lose my restraint to say: WOOOOOO. We finally have a release year. HYPE.
Glad to see the stylization step it up and actually make the Toy Story World look exactly like they do in the movies.

I don't see YX being a toy at all. He doesn't have any visible joints like SDG or anyone else to indicate he would be. And while he can be a more realistic action figure, he looks of the same quality as Xemnas and Ansem from the Orchestra trailer. Sadly I think he's suffering from and unfinished model/poor lightning. I'm thinking the former seeing as some of the facial animation is 'fish facey'. And he's clearly not putting up a struggle when talking down to Sora so I'm guessing a Heartless is holding him back while he's up on a platform.
I wonder if they'll have Sora, Donald and Goofy notice the hidden Mickey in Andy's room lol.
Not wanting to start an argument but DDD is like the most the world have been intertwined in the main story since KH1. Heck DDD is the only KH game in which every world save one had an appearance from the KH-main bad guys, instead of being relegated to mostly original KH worlds. YX wasn't there to be cryptic in fact he wasn't speaking cryptically at all it just seems like that on a first playthrough then on repeats you realize he was being very straight forward if a bit flowery in his speak. YX's role in the first 3 worlds was to explain why Sora was there, what they wanted him to learn from these worlds, and is like the only time Xehanort has ever acknowledge the disney worlds and their inhabitants. The next two worlds one lacked any Xehanort appearance and the other one Xehanort appears merely to clarify a few things and prepare Sora and Riku for the end that is to come. But despite minimal Xehanort stuff in those last two worlds they both tied into the greater overarching lore of the series in regard to Mickey fleshing out his past and letting Sora and Riku basically joint train with Mickey as an equal instead of a master. Which is a logical choice since he is the third main character of the game and SRM is an actual big trio in this series. And of course the worlds themselves are the main goal for Sora and Riku, DDD is the only game in which helping the world and finding its keyhole is the main focus as opposed to worlds just being places Sora stops to haphazardly search.
Like original stories are always good and definitely preferable to weird movie re-enactments where characters are missing or the plot has pieces subbed out.... but I absolutely hope KH3 is following DDD's lead of having the organization appear and speak in near every world. Where Xehanort and the organization are regularly acknowledging the existence of the disney inhabitants and using them for his plans instead of treating them as mere casualty. Where the organization is a constant presence and threat and every world connects back to a greater lore instead of just being daily life lessons that are to be forgotten as soon as they leave the world. (I'm looking at you BBS)
Sigh... honestly seeing the Toy Story world made me cringe... it just feels so weird seeing it in Kingdom Hearts and seeing Sora as an action figure... well whatever, least it's coming out 2018 I guess. ( I'll just have to hurry past this world...)
Awesome trailer! I'm definitely hyped! 2018 release date and we finally got Toy Story!!
When I saw the scene in the toy store I was thinking Titanfall as Sora entered the mechs lol.
I haven't signed in here in a long time but I had to after I saw this. I'm so pumped for this! It's going to be amazing!
Good to see Toy Story make it in at last. It's safe to say the style of graphics this time around work really well with the pixar films. I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the Toy Story film and the character models here. With that said now all I want is The Jungle Book to make it in and I'd be happy.
Oh man, this was the exact news I wanted to come home to after a long day at work. I honestly cannot get over how great this game looks. The character models, environments, and gameplay all look so polished.

I get where you're coming from, but making statements at the end of a world's playthrough or brief appearances isn't tying the world itself to the main plot. Xehanort didn't actively do anything in any of the DDD worlds, it was the villains already there (please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't played DDD in a long time). It seems clear that at Olympus Coliseum, Maleficent and Pete are searching that world for the Master of Master's box while Sora also visits that world to learn from Hercules how to regain his strength. In the Toy Story world, Young Xehanort has kidnapped Andy and the other toys to research their relationship effect on the heart and to use that information outside the world. The way they're using the Disney worlds in KH3 is radically different from DDD (at least from what we can tell so far).
One thing is having intertwined stories. Another is having an obligatory Xehanort cameo revolving around cliched sentences and/or vague threats.
None of the stuff Young, Ansem and Xemnas said was actually important or necessary, but a constant "ohhh, look at us, we're saying Sora has people trapped inside of him which is basically stating the obvious but we did it so players will think they're so smart to keep up with the plot, now let's tell Riku that he's a puppet of Darkness like we did for the past games. Also something something this test is something something".
If anything, Young started a religious war with his whole "this world is real" nonsense that it's causing headaches up to this day.
Ultimate proof of this, in the final stretch of the game we still had to go through that enormous exposition slog about time travel and Xehanort's plan, while some elements could've very well be introduced earlier.
In KH1 you arrive at Hollow Bastion already knowing about the Seven Princesses and what they are for.
THIS SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!
FINALLY A RELEASE DATE!
HYPED!!!
Are those enemies at the end of the trailer (the mecha toys) unversed? They look similar to them, clash with the Nobodies' color schemes (which focuses on pastels/pale colors and whites) and i didn't see the Heartless emblem on them.
That Drill transformation seems so wasted on the Toy Story Keyblade..it feels like it kinda killed a chance for Atlantis.
Drills were so fitting for Atlantis!

I think they just might be toys that Sora hijacks? And maybe the ones they fight are toys that the heartless hijack?
Fudge...
We're going to Thebes

So you mean exactly like DDD?
Thank god they released a version without that annoying large text.
Mario Odyssey blew my mind; this is otherworldly. Eons beyond Breath of the Wild. This is what perfection looks like, and for once, no one will dislike a trailer.
I'm glad they opted for an original plot for a Toy Story world. It would've been ideal if it was a world in each game, and KH1 followed the plot of TS1, etc. Since that didn't happen, I prefer a unique storyline (and this really never crossed my mind as a possibility); I much prefer this over going to the daycare and fighting Lotso.
I'd imagine the non-heartless boss to be Zurg (since it was a bunch of robots they were fighting and he's a bit of the Toy Story villain that wasn't tied to one film). Maybe it's just a generic robot Heartless and you fight an Organization member. Sid is a garbageman, his dog is dead; that's why it would've been nice if it was a world in each game.
Imagine in KH1, walking on the lights to bridge the gap between Andy and Sid's windows, fighting the evil toys in Sid's house (maybe even Scud too); going to Al's Toy Barn, the airport and fighting Stinky Pete in II. I don't really remember what happened in 3, but there was that trash compactor and you could've fought Lotso. Definitely a rights issue prevented this all from happening, but some missed opportunities nonetheless.
We all know from that old design document that this is a world they've been pushing for since the beginning. That world art featured Andy's house, Al's Toy Barn and Pizza Planet... imagine a boss battle with the claw... *sigh*
IDK, the gameplay still looks really clunky and floaty to me, but I guess that's just how it is.
I thought this trailer was really great. The game looks so smooth and fun. Also, I had a feeling Toy Story was going to be the world revealed. The Toy Story character models look like they came straight from the movies. Awesome! Sora, Donald and Goofy's toy forms are also great looking. Some people may disagree, but I actually thought Young Xehanort looked great. Sure, the lighting may have been slightly off, but they still have time to polish that stuff. Overall, epic trailer and we got a release year: 2018! Woohoo!
Best. Trailer. Ever.
Seriously, I have never been so excited for a new KH trailer! Now the floodgates have been opened for Pixar!
Those regular attack animations still look pretty bad. But on the bright side, it looks like magic finishers are back from KH2.
This looks AMAZING. I am so excited. The Toy Story characters all look directly out of the movies!

I've been working on these updates and on the website but I finally have a bit of a breather to post my thoughts.
Firstly, I love that we can now aim and target Heartless while on the grind rails. I also like that we can use Shotlocks to travel around the world. I thought that might just be limited to grind rails but it's nice we have options.
I'm very curious about the Rock Troll's gimmick. How do we break it's defence in order to inflict some damage? Team up with Hercules in order to smash it apart?
I'm thrilled that Neoshadows and Dusks have returned, and there's plenty of them. Considering who their masters are I do wish they'd fight each other while also fighting Sora, that's one thing I felt never happened due to some limitations in KH2 and instead they just worked together despite plot saying otherwise.
Toy Story looks absolutely amazing. I honestly would not be surprised if Pixar just dumped their renders of Woody, Buzz etc. into Unreal Engine 4. The world is so expansive and we get to travel through it. It's utterly unbelieveable and I can not wait. I love that they use trampolines as launch pads as well, I think that is really clever.
The new Keyblade is adorable, I love the Cactus with the cowboy hat. If there are not Cactuar's in this world it's a severely disappointing missed opportunity.
The combat is the best it's been in the trailers. It doesn't look floaty and it just flows. I just want to jump in now and try everything.
The toy store, as far as I am aware, has not been in any Toy Story movies so they worked with Pixar to legitimately come up with a brand new canon toy store. Like we can confirm that it exists in that universe and I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around that. Kingdom Hearts created canon in a Pixar film. Just wow.
The mech suits are glorious! Very reminiscent of the early Versus XIII footage and I love the options that you can do with it. The toy store looks like it'd be a lot of fun to travel around as well!
I toyed (heh) with the idea of Young Xehanort being a toy but it's not possible. I do believe he's a regular sized human trying to squash toy Sora. A boss fight with him being that big and Sora being that small would be amazing. His render is a bit off though, which is a bit confusing since they had it looking great in 2015.
Overall this was probably one of the best announcements they could have made. Famitsu reporter and Shimomura were right in saying how amazing this reveal is.
It looks so g o o d.
Finally adding Toy Story to the mix is one of the best possible things that could've happened imo, the time's finally come.

[SPOILER]
[/SPOILER]is this implying a hitbox problem?
I shed a tear when I saw Toy Story as a world especially how similar the graphics are to the movie series.
Wow, a release date. Feels surreal.
Toy Story looks awesome. That trailer gave me a woody.
But I wonder what the realistic odds of getting Tom Hanks are.
Only thing off in the trailer was Young Xehanort looks...not done.
is this implying a hitbox problem?
Yup. I'm getting BBS flashbacks already.
Did anybody notice Sora using quick run during the battle outside the house? When he was using the hammer transformation it looked like he was quick running, but it also could have been an air dash ability, it was hard to tell. I am hoping it was quick run because that would lead to growth abilities returning with these forms.
Ahhh, I'm still so in shock we finally got a release year. I love how at the end of the trailer they had that little pause just to be sneaky about it.
Was not expecting Toy Story! The characters look amazing! Literally right from the movie perfection. I'm still getting used to seeing Sora and company as toys but it's growing on me more.
It was so surreal seeing them go outside in what looks like "our world" lol.
Olympus and Thebes (?) look amazing as always. YX still looks like he needs some work.
I have to say I'd be absolutely thrilled if they included a Pocahontas world as that's one of my favorite Disney movies. Along with Treasure Planet and The Jungle Book.
Are Donald and Goofy getting new outfits? Cause the color scheme and different features on them seem to suggest that.

It's Air Slide. It might work like Quick Run on the ground since you still have Dodge Roll.
Does anyone know if we'll be a getting an english dub of this trailer? Or is it just english subs for now?

Just English subs. You won't be seeing English dubs for awhile.
Please please let Sid's dog be a mid boss. Or hell, even Sid himself!!
Ah, shoot. I figured, but thought I'd see just in case ;)

Thank you for all your good doing today.
Thank god they released a version without that annoying large text.
This was my gripe when it started. The large text is distracting to the introduction of the video. Terrible design choice.
Overall, I enjoyed the trailer. All character models are impressive in my opinion. The environments too. The game play looked like it could use some tweaks, as previously mentioned, but there is plenty of time.
What interests me about the Toy Story video is that this is actually the first time I've heard Japanese Donald Duck. It sounds just like American Donald Duck, and is only a little bit harder to understand! XD
Yeah, I wonder if the KH Crew could get talent like Tom Hanks and Tim Allen to reprise their roles. Still, Hanks and Allen did do the voices for the Toy Story TV specials, which were smaller projects than the movies, or Kingdom Hearts III for that matter.
10/10 on thread title by the way
Tom Hanks does official work for Woody, which includes the movies and the TV specials. His brother does video games and other stuff.
Thank you for all your good doing today.
You're welcome :)

Haha thanks. I actually had two other world articles ready to go, each with equally good titles.

I remember one of the big selling points of KH1 was that a lot of the original voices came back to reprise their roles. Hopefully they will remember that and implement it in KH3.

I feel like they still do when they can? Like, you can't help it if some actors won't do it for the pay I guess lol. I expect the Tangled and Big Hero 6 casts, from the shows, to reprise their roles at least.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]I think Zurg is more must have for me, especially since this new store is called "Galaxy Toys" sounds like they would sell Buzz and Zurg toys to me ha. Since this is original basically anyone could show up though. It is sad now that I realize Hades is the only confirmed Disney villain. Him and the Rock Titan I guess. For worlds I mean, I consider Maleficent and Pete to have transcended to just KH villains at this point I guess lol.[/FONT]
Enjoyed the trailer, as always is a mess when it comes to editing but everything looks great.
Why is Square uploading screenshots at 1362 x 766?, we are in 2017, 1080p please.
Omg I hope that the world theme is just a Yoko Shimomura-rendition of you've got a friend in me cause that would be amaaaaaaazing ~~~

This this this. When they played it at the end I was like "YES THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN"
HE HAS SCRATCHES AND STUFF ON HIM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, WHAT MAGIC DID SQUARE ENIX CAST TO MAKE TOY STORY LOOK THIS GOOOOOOD

Some of dat sweet sweet Disney dough, fam. They got money in the...
...bank...
Plus UE4 is pretty dope I guess...
Starting to wonder if they'll focus more on 3D films just because of how good they can look on UE4.
Like can you imagine how good BH6 and Tangled will look if Toy Story looks this good already.
Oh lord, is the entire BH6 gonna be guest party members?
Oh lord, is the entire BH6 gonna be guest party members?
I'm hoping for this, especially with what was said in the interview about more than 5 party members.
Am I the only one that can't stop rewatching the trailer? I am simply in awe at it. I NEVER thought I would see Toy Story in KH. It just seems so surreal.
Juts saw the trailer and THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE!!! I juts hope for our english version they'll be able to get Tom Hanks & Tim Allen for the voices!

Shortened quote for economy of space but I agree with all you wrote. DDD used the KH2 approach of integrating worlds by invoking a facsimile of the big picture in the guise of cryptic villain-speak here and there, but the proof is in the pudding: when you get to the last chapter without being given the tools to make deductions about what's going on in the plot you're following, the book hasn't been doing its job. KH2 was actually better about this, too; by the time players get to TWTNW, the Organization's goals are clear and it's just a matter of addressing each individual player's motivation. There's a sense of pay-off, unlike DDD which just barrages the player with plot mystery bingo.
IDK, the gameplay still looks really clunky and floaty to me, but I guess that's just how it is.
Agreed. The Keyblade Transformations still just seem like a really messy way to try to make things ~exciting~ but I never liked them so that's my problem and I'll have to make my peace. Magic looks really nice though; I'm excited for Aero.
Sooooo Toy Story. I like the movies well enough but I never really saw the need for a Toy Story world in KH3 from a narrative perspective, and that glimpse of YX doing his usual master plan exposition (does this character exist for any other reason) didn't make much of a case for it in that regard. MX is preparing for an apocalyptic clash which is the culmination of decades upon decades of scheming...and he stops by this world to mess around with some six-year-old and his box of toys? I know, because something about the heart and darkness and yadda yadda; it's a copy-paste plot they could have (indeed, have) used for literally any world under the sun. I get that it's ~hype~ and all that but nevertheless, I'm disappointed we're going to spend a whole world here and quite likely learn nothing of importance. I would have been happy to see Toy Story make an appearance in some other capacity (summons, etc.) but I guess good-looking filler that gets people pumped up does make for effective marketing.
And it does look good. I don't like Sora's toy design as much as Donald and Goofy's (especially Goofy's, he looks so dapper), but I think it'll be a lot of fun to run around the rooftops and explore that sunny, suburban neighborhood. In many ways, I'm looking forward to playing in it provided they give us more to do than chug through swamps of Heartless. I think it would have been preferable as a Winnie-the-Pooh type mini-game/side world, though: all other issues aside, it's fundamentally difficult for me to take anything that's happening seriously because Xehanort is literally fighting a bunch of toys. My suspension of disbelief is in crisis.
Looks like all those (counter)arguments about Toy Story being not a world in Kingdom hearts are moot now.
I wonder if there's moving cars passing by.Would be pretty funny to have look to to see if a car is coming so you won't get run over.
After all these years, I can't believe that we've actually arrived here. A Pixar world, Toy Story no less, and a release year.
The animation is just gorgeous in both Olympus and Toy Story. In particular, Andy's house and neighborhood is right out of Pixar, all the way down to the layout. The characters literally look like they stepped out of Toy Story 3 (though I am a bit distressed to learn Andy and the toys were kidnapped by Xehanort, that's like imagining Pooh and friends being kidnapped by Chernabog!!!), the animation is just that good. Hearing Pixar heavily contributed to forging an original story just makes it even better.
Like, wow. Just wow and a very, very good wow.
Not sure if this has been said before but I hope we get a rendition of Buzz and Woody's themes for the game and of course "You got a friend in me."
It's still hard to believe that Toy Story went from being cut summons in KH2 Final Mix to a full fledged world. The best part of this reveal is that we finally have a solid release date. Well, we don't have the month it's going to come out yet, but it's better than nothing.
Man, haven't posted here in a while...But that Toy Story reveal shocked me so much I just had to say something.
Seriously, I've been wanting a Pixar world (Specifically Toy Story, Monsters Inc. or Ratatouille) since I very first started playing this series. And let me tell you, realizing that the world was Toy Story near gave me a heart attack.
Now bring on The Emperors New Groove! :)

Monsters Inc would be so great, you know, with how important doors to other realms are. I would love it.
I also really want Emperor's New Groove. Someday...
I haven't read that many comments so someone have probably said this already but it looks as if the magic attacks might change depending on your keyblade transformations, now THAT is awesome!
Look when he use both Firaga and Aeroga, potentially it could just look different from before because he was using a weaker form then but I hope every weapon have a unique way of treating magic to bring back the variation from games like BBS to some extent
^ As for Monsters Inc I think that and Wreck it Ralph would be great hub worlds for travel in KH IV when the worlds have united again and there's no gummy ship.
Wreck it Ralph will almost certainly be in this game though which has me very excited, that was my first thought when watching that robot gameplay, would be a waste of resources not to include that world :)
EDIT - Does anyone have a theory on what YX is talking about?
https://forums.khinsider.com/kingdom-hearts-hd-2-8-final-chapter-prologue/213490-so-have-anyone-compared-pandoras-box.html
He could be talking about something completely different but if it's the MoM my theory is looking more and more likely. He's feeding on peoples sins to create a anti-KH - a mirror version.
MoM is Satan confirmed ;)
I'm pretty stoked to venture through the Toy Story world. I'd also like to see more on how Party Members function; not just Buzz and Woody, but generally. How they target enemies, their fighting styles, combo attacks, etc. What's more, I'm eager to see what combinations of in-world Party Members they'll consider, since we've gone even further beyond the original Three-Member system. Flynn and Rapunzel seems feasible now, as does Hiro and Baymax - or heck, if they dare to, they could have the full Big Hero 6 team partake in fights. It would probably be tough to code so many party members moving at once, but it'd be awful satisfying, and make worlds seem that little bit less empty. It'd also be nice to see a little bit of San Fransokyo some time soon, since all we've had is the concept art.
Also, has no-one else considered that it would be perfect for Sora to relearn the Glide ability from Buzz? Falling with style, and all. If someone already brought it up, I apologize.

I mean Star ocean 5 has 7 party members max on the field at all times.It shouldn't be hard to do something like this for one world for KH3.

Well, considering the proposed "Seven Guardians"-stuff they could possibly make a single battle with all seven Guardians present at once.
Even not counting this, two regular party members plus two guests at once opens up tons of possible combinations and interesting party options like Mickey and Aqua in Castle Oblivion for example?
Or Rapunzel and [strike]the horse[/strike]Eugene at once?
Leon and Yuffie as Guests in RG?
Rapunzel+Eugene sounds like a lot fun..can you imagine the banter?
I'm actually hoping the guardians can be added to your party permanently at some point similar to other large party based rpgs.
Would be great revisiting worlds with them instead of having them stuck in some endgame area only.

I made this for you, my children :*
Having watched the trailer again (and again and again), I do like the gameplay a lot more now. Sora casts magic spells that are unique to the forms now, like in KH2! That's amazing. (For example, in his TS-Form with the drill, the fire like in KH2)
It does look like a lot of fun and I just want to take over. I want to play this gameee.

Yeah, the only gripe I have so far is really how the drive forms appear to be handled :) Other than that, this looks absolutely wonderful, and the Toy Story world looks to be one of the most imaginative world concepts we've gotten since Symphony of Sorcery, with the advantage over Symphony of Sorcery appearing to be even more explorative in its level design than that level was in Dream Drop Distance.
This entire thing just takes me back to when I was originally hyping myself for Kingdom Hearts II: imagine you want to play this game, so far it looks like a pretty standard sequel, and then you get a world in the style of the old-fashioned Disney cartoons set in Mickey Mouse's past as a deck hand for Pete. That's how it feels to me; you've got a pretty standard concept of level design and style, and then the game drops a bombshell that you will be transformed into a toy and fighting with Woody and Buzz in your own unique Toy Story-themed adventure!
One last thing: I love how these Toy Story levels so far appear to be designed for Sora, Donald, and Goofy at their normal size, then were expanded when Sora, Donald, and Goofy were shrunk down to the size of a toy. It really gives this level of the game a sense of scale as a toy, and these environments you can interact with look absolutely massive.
EDIT: Chaser, that trailer is beautiful! Thank you so much for that, the text was my least favorite part of the trailer xD
Amazing , the Xehanort mouth scene...
The Blizzaga ' Surf' is the best thing in this Trailer. Ahah
Don't like much Toy Story.
Before judge the entire KHIII's Gameplay , I wanna try atleast a Demo. But, hope to not see a KHII upgraded and nothing more....
We need many abilities and faster Gameplay. Like a fusion between KHII , BBS and more.
Well, we'll see.
Great tráiler! Really like the keyblade transformation progression.

Please god no.
You know what I like the most? Just watching the scenes in Andy's room, the way it's choreographed, how the characters move and cut to each other, how their lines are written, you can tell just from watching it that Pixar is involved. We didn't even need to be told. We could feel it!
HE HAS SCRATCHES AND STUFF ON HIM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, WHAT MAGIC DID SQUARE ENIX CAST TO MAKE TOY STORY LOOK THIS GOOOOOOD

I couldn't even tell Sora was fight Dusks and Neo Shadows before, so thank you so much!
Not sure if this way pointed out already, but Donald and Goofy's outfit in the toy form does not follow their regular outfits we are used to. Are they maybe the toy form of their new kh3 outfits? They are long overdue for a style change.

To be fair, I feel people are starting to forget alternative clothes were never similar to the original clothes in the first place, outside of Timeless River Sora.
For Donald and Goofy, the closest (or, the clothest)it gets is that their Pride Lands and Atlantica forms have a similar color scheme, but again, alternative clothes have almost always been their own thing.
I never questioned Toy Story appearing in the game. John Lasseter is the Chief Creative Officer of Disney Animation and Pixar so it was guaranteed to happen once I seen news of Roy Conli being involved in the game. But what does surprise me is how cinematic this game looks. The fact that all of that is running in real time is unbelievable! People can complain all they want about Kingdom Hearts III taking ages, but if it means we get something as cinematic as this them I am completely down for it!
That Drill transformation seems so wasted on the Toy Story Keyblade..it feels like it kinda killed a chance for Atlantis.
Drills were so fitting for Atlantis!
The drill's finisher turns into the claw from Toy Story. So it does make thematic sense, albeit a bit of a stretch.

True, but buzz also pointed out that they were wearing black coats like the other person they had spotted. SDG are all wearing a dark coat in their toy forms.
So Young Xehanort kidnapped Andy and the other toys... kidnapped Andy... kidnapped a young boy. He is also the same size as toy Sora and he somehow kidnapped a human.

Oh right.
Well they could always get a little creative for a potential Atlantis transformation..there's a lot you could do with that world.
So Young Xehanort kidnapped Andy and the other toys... kidnapped Andy... kidnapped a young boy. He is also the same size as toy Sora and he somehow kidnapped a human.
Anything is possible in this world.
But for real, if Andy is truly kidnapped he either had to be lured or YX changed his size to do it. Not too much is out of the question for a time-traveler.
Xehanort was not the same size as Toy Sora lol, thats why all the toys called him a "huge problem." And that last scene, I think Sora was deflecting Xehanort's foot with his Keyblade lol. He was trying to step on him...
Kidnapped? I figured Andy & other humans fell victim to the heartless. It'd be the 1st really notable heartless casualty we've ever had in this series.

I'm torn between giant YX & Zurg for the world's boss. Can you imagine battling a keyblade wielder of that size?

However while that is true the fact is there typically was still some logic and also typically a lack of coherency. Like in say Halloween town Goofy turned into a Frankenstein and a Reindeer. The changes to his outfit were to make him better fit with the local look and they didn't look as Nomura FF-ish. Likewise Sora didn't also turn into a Frankenstein and Reindeer he became a Vampire and Santa. There is coherency in the sense they are are all halloween and christmas things but there is a lack of coherency in that none of them are the same thing.
Now look at the toy Donald, Goofy, and Sora the first notable thing is that they are all dressed the same. Each one of them is dressed in black long sleeved hoodies/jackets with a very refined fashionable look to them. Sora in particular is notable because despite being a world transformation he's not actually in a totally new outfit like the above examples, he's just in a toy-ified stylized version of his KH3 outfit. More importantly nothing about Donald and Goofy's outfits scream toy. Like if say the were dressed like superheroes or something the changes make sense but the fact is that nothing about the new fashionable casual clothing they are wearing says "this was done to make them look more like toys".
Since nothing about their new outfits scream toy, they are designed with a clear design coherency made to make them look like a team as opposed to how world transformations make them each distinct, and Sora himself is just in a toy version of his regular outfit. This all adds up to Donald and Goofy are also in toy versions of their new outfits. It makes sense if Donald and Goofy got new outfits to match Sora's new outfit as that explains both the team coherency and all the drastic changes to their clothing. And it makes sense that if Sora's outfit is a toy-ified version of his regular outfit that DG would get the same treatment.
I'm tore between giant YX & Zurg for the world's boss. Can you imagine battling a keyblade wielder of that size?
When I saw the Gigas (mechs) the first thing I thought about was using those in a Zurg boss battle. Zurg with the power of the heartless at his disposal? Sounds perfect for an evil emperor.

He would totally have some sort of "Zurg's Evil DOOM-MECH(c) Action Playset!" type of vehicle.
I know I mentioned in one of the 10 some threads going on right now lol, but the name "Galaxy Toys" sounds to me like they need a Buzz and Zurg section. It wouldn't be the same Zurg from Toy Story 2 obviously, but I honestly consider it a necessity to fight him at least. Please no repeat of DDD where we skip insanely obvious Disney bosses in favor of the same original boss multiple times for some reason.

After BBS and DDD I really need more Disney villain boss battles. No more Minion crafted from the Villains evil heart please! I would love for Toy Story 2-esque scenario in which we fight Zurg in an Aisle of Buzz Lightyears and with a limit command have his mech swarmed with Buzzs! I want to hear a thousand Tim Allen battle cries at once!

The only reason why Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance had bosses based off the creatures as opposed to characters was to show off the Unversed and Dream Eaters respectively. Kingdom Hearts III doesn't have to go through that route because the Heartless and Nobodies are pre-existing enemy types.
Glad to see they might have kept Sora's out of combat stance.
Always looked the best.

BBS didn't really do it though, it was just DDD, in my opinion anyway. BBS had Lucifer, The Magic Mirror, two Maleficents, Hades, the Ice 'Colossus', Gantu, and Hook fights. At least one per Disney world, other than Disney Town of course. I mean that is still less than some other worlds in KH1 and 2, but they tried I feel. DDD really doesn't have an excuse lol, they shoved Dream Eaters down our throats as party members already we really didn't need them taking over important villain fights too.
I think that and the info vomit at the end of the game are my only main gripes with it, which is sad, cuz it had potential with how they did a Disney super boss for the first time in a long time. Well. I guess Monstro was a thing in BBS: FM, huh?

True that. I suppose the bosses of DDD seeped into my BBS memories and clouded them a bit.
What's worse with the DE bosses is that often we didn't even get 2 DE bosses in a world but variations of one. Was development that rushed that they didn't have time to properly create enough bosses?
And we even fought them a third time thanks to Spellican.
I... can come to understand why they wanted to do more animal-like enemies and not the usual insectoid Heartless, but they were kinda lazy.
For example, Keeba Tiger and Ryu Dragon are arguably among the best Dream Eaters: why couldn't we have a huge dragon or tiger as a boss?
Something I forgot to mention in my big post before is I'm actually disappointed in the writing for this world so far.
It's probably an incomplete scene, it's hopefully an incomplete scene, because Sora, Donald, and Goofy don't even greet Andy's toys. They don't know their names, they don't know Sora's name.
And the introduction to the conflict feels lifted right out of Kingdom Hearts II. I felt like I was watching the introduction to any world in that game when I watched the trailer. I'm pretty sure they've used the same description Buzz used on Organization XIII at least three times already.
Can't they shake it up a bit? Enough with this "A man in a black coat" description please.
When I watched the trailer I thought I saw a green option appear on top of the menu bar when Sora got into those giant robot toys. Now, I couldn't SEE what the green bar said, but could reaction commands NOT be dead just yet? Maybe they've just be tweaked a little? Anyway that's what I saw. I know the green bar might've been a spell or drive form change, but it looks like it highlighted itself right when Sora got in. Thoughts?

Okay so yeah, I felt this way too, I have just been telling myself the scene was incomplete. The dialogue didn't flow as well as I would like, and conclusions seemed to be jumped to way too much lol. Like, "OH hey who are you? We are toys, and our friends are gone" "Oh hey, we may know who is causing this weirdness, also lets yell ORGANIZATION XIII in unison" "OMG you do? Cool, we will help you fight, lets bounce" I can't wait for Woody and Buzz to individually thank Sora, Donald, and Goofy, in that order, for helping them save Andy when the world is done. Also when they rescue Jessie, she will ask who the new toys are and SDG will yell their names one after another, in that particular order, in the most cringey fashion possibly. Pls don't do this SE lol.
Like yeah, I dunno, I guess they can't dwell on their meeting too much. But a little more dialogue thrown in between some of those lines would do wonders.
Edit: Oh, in Japanese Woody says "Sora-tachi" which means, essentially, Sora and co. They translated it differently, but that implies Woody knows his name. Unless he is omnipotent.

It was 100% a reaction command to get into the robot. I guess since it only appears in that situation, maybe they consider it a situation command ;P But yeah, its essentially what we knew as reaction commands lol.

I guess chaser isn't here to post news, but here's more from the game informer interview:
- Nomura announces Athletic Flow, what we saw in the trailer where sorts grinding through Olympus and jumping through boulders to reach heightened areas.
- he discusses transformations and each keyblade will have two transformations as seen in Toy Story. You need to hit combos with the first transformation to get access to the second transformation.
- briefly mentions summons and their role in the game.

To me, I thought the introduction part was cut. I know it was a 5+ minute trailer, but I figured they had more features to show than an introduction. Perhaps I am mistaken. I mean Sora got acquainted with TWENTY characters in Dream Drop Distance. Surely there will be an introduction.
I guess chaser isn't here to post news, but here's more from the game informer interview
It's just Chaser running the show. Show him some love. His response times have been damn impressive for someone living in Australia.

The introduction scene is definitely incomplete. There is a promotional photo released by Square Enix showing Sora, Donald, and Goofy saluting the army figures. That was not shown in the trailer. So the scene was definitely cut up.
