Sounds good to me. I wanna see even more gameplay and hopefully see some more worlds we can play in. Maybe even show another boss fight besides Maleficent and Xemnas? Perhaps they reveal playable Kairi?

It would be weird to reveal playable kairi outside of a trailer tbh.

an actual gameplay is welcome

I suppose. I'm just wondering if/when we'll get to see footage of her being playable if she is or not.

I think they gonna keep it a secret since it's probably for the final boss and they are not gonna spoil it.

Nomura: "For today's stream, we are going to show off the new Endless Marathon mode by playing It's A Small World for the next 45 minutes."

For all of you rhythm game fans out there, Masanobu Suzui was the director for the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy games so that's good to know if you were worried about the actual gameplay for some reason.

Hashimoto doesn't even go here tho

EXcited af, hopefully they bleed just a few more plot details. Then some gameplay and discussion about which songs were NOT able to make the cut due to legal/ money/budget, and of course a footnote how CORONAVIRUS has impacted development

I love how Nomura is listed as "Voice from the Heavens".

I hope the live piano performance is The Other Promise/Vector To The Heavens/Face My Fears.

Not from the event, but do you think we’ll get any special arrangements? Also, Yoko <3

I'm honestly starting to believe we won't get to play her. I took a quick glance at the trophy list and it gave the impression that asside from the multi-player you only get to choose from preset teams.


Oh it'd be cool, if you could do the final Master Xehanort battle as her with Sora. Would also explain the trophy listing not hinting at her.

We know there are 20 "playable" characters. With the 4 teams we know about, if by playable they mean "can be used on the track" (rather than being the head character you're using), that's 12 characters there. There are 8 friendship orbs in another trophy image which brings that to 20. Due to this I don't think Kairi will be playable in the rhythm section, which is frustrating as hell. It'd be a nice surprise if she was a secret bonus character but I'm no longer holding my breath.

But I'm not convinced that you can't use the different teams in story levels just yet. The image below shows there's a little diamond underneath the Sora, Donald, and Goofy team with arrows next to them.

Timeline is a bit muddled due to BbS, but at this point in the series Days has happened so I do wonder if you have to unlock the teams first and once unlocked you can use them at will, a.k.a you can use Sora, Donald, and Goofy at this point or you can use Roxas, Xion, and Axel. BbS's timeline throws a wrench in this because if they were going by in-game timeline then BbS would have been first, but by going by the release timeline of the games, Days would be after KH2.



[S]But that trailer was whack anyways so idk what to believe in it. It says the player has unlocked the all clear reward for Twilight Town but then when it shows the song selection menu it says the song hasn't been played once lol.[/S]

Edit: Not true, I'm a dumbass

I stand by thinking a demo would be the best thing for this game, and I hope they announce a world-wide one at this TGS event. Just give three songs (one battle, one field, one movie) with all difficulties and have us choose what team we want to use alongside a message that tells us these choices aren't only available in the demo and we'll be golden.

Maybe the song hasn't been played on the Standard difficulty level but has been on another one.

Oh yeah, you’re right lol. It’s cleared and not completed so a different difficulty has been done.

Ever since that TWEWY stream, Nomura's been phoning it in (literally). :LOL:

Oh, just realized that there's more Square Enix stuff during TGS. Will the (sorta-elusive but not really because we've been fed with FF7R) Final Fantasy franchise finally return with XVI? (Boy, that's a lotta Fs) Either way, if all we get is KH MoM, I'm more than satisfied. But it's looking to be an exciting time.

Guess Square figured "Hey, since we can't really do announcements during the summer, we may as well just drop 'em all at TGS like we usually do. ?‍♂️"

TGS never disappoints!

He’s been doing this since the FF 30th anniversary stream actually xD but he only started going by Voice from the Heavens during a KH3 stream at TGS some years ago and it’s stuck around since. He’s done this in many Dissidia NT streams, too.

I'm crossing my fingers you get to unlock the other teams early and then after that you can play as them in any world all game if you want. I don't think that's asking too much. I mean we have SDG fighting in a BBS setting against Maleficent. Let's have fun with this.

I really want to fight Maleficent and the other bosses with Riku's team just to watch the Komory Bat and Meow Wow go toe-to-toe with them.

KH3 track names please…even just a few.

Anyone have any ideas how to hook this up to a dance pad? ?

I think you should check out SarahKey’s videos? Maybe she has an idea on how to do it.

Get a Titan Two or a cronusmax and you'll be in heaven. Setup is extremely simple

Looking forward to the event at the end of this week. Here's hoping we'll get some more interviews, screenshots, and song confirmations there.

What are our chances to get some info of their strategy for next gen?

A bone toss, maybe. But anything more wouldn't be shared until June next year most likely. If they're ready to share what they're working on by then, that is. We'd also most likely hear about the Disney Plus show this weekend if that's a real thing too.

I would be happy with a cryptic message like:
"we are currently looking at our options to make sure everyone can play the serie"

If you're referring to a Switch port of the KH series... I mean if Square changed their minds that quickly, that'd be cool I guess, but I still maintain that the reason why KH won't be ported on the Switch is due to KH 0.2 and KH3 apparently being too difficult to run on the hardware. If they're only gonna port the most of the games and not every game, and then people have to buy a PlayStation just to get the full experience in the end anyway, it's pretty redundant and a waste of time and resources that could be focused on a newer project.

KH veterans might buy the collection on the Switch, but how many of them actually will? And most importantly, is that number enough to justify them allocating a budget towards it? Cause remember, KH3 and 2.8 wouldn't be on it, which is a big factor. In the end, it's a business and the last thing businesses ever want to do is to take action with little to no return. Even some remasters of old games from other series (like Xenosaga) and additional seasons for certain anime (Rokka, Asterisk War, Nisekoi, list goes on...) don't get green-lit because of insufficient numbers and low demand. It sucks, but losses are no joke.

Melody of Memory is like a recap game with new story bits apparently, so it's a different case, but I think the series going to the Switch is a no-go. If the Switch Pro rumor is real though, then maybe, but I'm not jumping on that wagon.

But if you mean something like a remake of KHUX or something... This I would be sold on. Whether they would do it or not, I'm not sure, but I feel like the story has to receive the HD treatment eventually.

Honestly. I am more interested in a next-gen port without loading times and potential PC release. I can easily see a kh3.5 with Mom included.

I don’t think we will be hearing about MoM or any other KH game as being on next gen consoles outside of that it’s just works as a backwards compatible game (if it even gets brought up)

No of course they would never announce it while promoting MoM. That would make no sense on the marketing side. I just wish to get a small hint that would allow me to speculate. That's what this serie is about : speculations. ?

Could there be something special about the credits? Nomura said that yoko composed two new songs for MoM, the new Dearly Beloved and the "credits song". But isn't that a bit strange? Usually the credits theme is simple and clean or the games' Utada Hikaru song. Could there be a secret to it?

KH1 had "March Caprice for Piano and Orchestra", KH2 had "Fantastia alla marcia", BBS had "Birth by Sleep -A Link to the Future-" during the final episode's credits, and DDD had "Dream Drop Distance -The Next Awakening-" during the credits dive, so I'm assuming she/they wanted her to do another medley here.

I'm pretty sure that's what they mean. Since the only other new track is Dearly Beloved, I wonder what this new piece would sound like. Maybe it'll be a medley of all the popular songs or the most story-important ones in Melody of Memory. The Staff Credit compositions are always fire, so I really think Yoko's gonna knock it outta the park again, as per usual.

Did anything happen, I thought it was supposed to be around now?

The OP says the event is on September 25th. That's two days away.

Does anyone know when it is in oceanic time?

Is it currently, at the time of this post, 9:51pm? If so then it’ll be happening tomorrow at 9:15pm.

If you’re ever unsure you can google 8:15pm JST and it’ll show you what time that would be in your local time zone. Or set up a clock on your phone for Japan.

Are you sure. I thought it was today (in one hour actually):

Square Enix have multiple slots. The upcoming one is apparently about NieR. The one about Melody of Memory is tomorrow.

Okay thanks.
Well, I wanted to get into nier anyway, so... I'll watch it. :LOL:

i forgot about this lol. a lot of stuff is happening friday.

My time zone is one hour ahead of Japan’s. Yes I am sure.

Oh damn i'll be sleeping when it happens.
guess i'll have to watch it later when i wake up

Just a little over 2 hours everyone :).

Twitch -

Youtube -

There are other streams on before KH begins so don’t get confused now, we still have a little waiting to go

I wonder what we are gonna see if the last trailer was the final trailer.

Live performance of the new Dearly Beloved probably, more gameplay stuff, Nomura being cryptic about what comes next after Melody of Memory... Who knows.

I personally would love it if they announced a demo. A game like this needs one. Plus I highly doubt anyone's gonna try and data-mine it lmao. (Although you never know.)

I’d love a demo announcement! I’m itching to actually feel how the game plays.

I am all in for cryptic stuff.

Normally I’d be reeeeally hyped because of KH3 news but TGS, E3 etc were so boring without the KH3 hype like the last years. However I’m still a little bit excited about MoM’s TGS presentation but I’m not really hyped.

You should be excited for what comes after and what MoM means for the future. :-)

A shame this doesnt have subtitles, it seems to be pre-recorded too.

Right? The game already has a ton of songs, what's the harm in two or three tracks for a demo? Not gonna get my hopes up, but man, I want one.



But that's me guessing, of course. If nothing exciting and surprising happens, we should remember that they never alluded to something like that happening here to begin with. Just to temper people's expectations before they end up getting disappointed.

Yeah, absolutely insane that they would prerecord but not bother to do that much. The game is coming out the same week in all territories. Events like this should be exactly where they market to their global audience, not just Japan.

I'm at least hoping to see how the KH3 world levels work here...

Some people write translations in the chat. Better than nothing.

Gameplay looks fun but tbh it still rubs me a little wrong KH2 Sora doesn't get a show in here. And a demo announcement would be great

At least twilight town is bigger than in 3. :LOL:

Shimomura is so cute man

The most talented composer out there for me, all media included.

It's amazing how much life you can give to a song when you add swing to it. Man, I'm in my happy place right now.

Shinya is super talented.

Sounds like we're getting a demo! WE WINNING OUT HERE!

I'm happy to have watched it just for the piano and the glimpse of Lauriam and Brain fighting in UX.

And the english twitter announced it too, i got a little worried it would be region locked

I missed a lot of the stream because of the soundtrack track list reveal, but I saw the gameplay and a demo announced so I'm quite happy tonight :)

The live chat was cringe but I liked what I saw even when there wasn’t a trailer. I’m happy we’re getting a demo.

The most exciting part for me was the picture of Lauriam freaking out. I’m kinda looking forward when he finds out Ven’s involvement and the drama. As much as he’s a sweet cinnamon roll, he’s really overdue for a bash on the head. I know if someone wailed on my sister, directly involved or not, I’d raise hell.

Archived for whenever anyone wants to re-watch or missed the stream

Our boy Ephemer's in the corner slumped like he just took on Mike Tyson...
