Oh boy oh boy.
So was the hooded man Xigbar? I believe that was his japanese VA.
Also I wonder if Xigbar told Sora his true identity in their one on one? Kairi might relay that information to the other s after the ending
My guess is Xigbar and Vanitas (the boss fight just before him) are going to be non-story related extra bosses—the 13 bosses that Nomura was talking about. Eat your heart out everyone, we've got our 13 one-on-one fights!!
Woah, so many cool things. I assume playable Axel and LW vs Terranort fight. Also Oblivion (dark mode!) hype!

If so that really sucks. They missed a good opportunity by having original, FF, and Disney characters as Disney bosses. Yet they just give us the organization members again

Oblivion, Namine, and solo fights against Vanitas and Xigbar.
This is worth a damn.
I still feel like not knowing anything. I mean, it’s a story trailer but I was more interested in gameplay. Well, I have to wait for another trailer.
A RAX team attack! Thank you Square! Thank you so much! I want this DLC so badly now! But I am very curious if history really is being re-written. I can't wait to play this.
Edit: Please let Lingering Will be playable vs Terranot.
Oathkeeper and Oblivion being the only new Keyblades is extremely lazy and disappointing. This game needs new original Keyblades badly. No original world expansions or FF characters either. This game needs a Persona 5 Royal style rerelease but unfortunately Nomura wants to rush into the next Nintendo spin-off. Hard pass.
I love that Sora and Xigbar are on that level of bullshit where they agree to an honorable duel in the middle of a heated magical battle.
Playable lingering will ?????????????? PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE CUTSCENE ONLY

Jumping to conclusions, uh?

Was about to say that! We don't even have a release date yet...
OT: LOVED THIS TRAILER OMFG. I'M GETTING HYPED AGAIN

Sell me your KH3 copy.
Ven using a frozen Keyblade on Vanitas? Something tells me he wanted to see how one of Xehanort’s cronies likes it.
Realm between sleep confirmed? Time travel shenanigans. I would love if the actual game has just the trios fighting the bad guys with no aide from Sora. I think that makes their reunions more impactful.
Wow.... So did they actually do it?! Did they ACTUALLY change the story of the endgame?

I predicted months ago that Sora would use the Power of Waking to retcon the ending at the cost of his life. I believe that's what they're doing.
Hmm, so kind of an expansion on what we saw from the last trailer, plus Sora and Namine talking bout something, and Xigbar.
But hey, a Kairi scene! More of those. And it looks like Axel's gonna be replacing Sora in the fight against Saix?
I predicted months ago that Sora would use the Power of Waking to retcon the ending at the cost of his life. I believe that's what they're doing.
You mean so that Kairi wouldn't be sliced?
Two more things:
- Naminé looks beautiful and I;m happy she finally gets a proper cutscene
- the trailer is hinting at playable Axel, so... Playable Kairi too? C'mon Nomura, this is your chance.
I predicted months ago that Sora would use the Power of Waking to retcon the ending at the cost of his life. I believe that's what they're doing.
This is gonna sound harsh, but good riddance! He had no place in half those battles anyway. Pretty gutsy move from the developers though, I gotta admit.
Also, Vanitas Lingering Spirit returns?
See those things? Those are things that are happening.
Still on this Final Fantasy debacle? Is it bad that I gave up on that crap? In other news 'oh woooow they remembered Namine existed!' And they remembed Lingering Will existed! Woooooowww! The numbered games never gave out such 'big content' like a new world or some shit. They threw a weak bone. Simple as that. Ima wait for the Manga since it puts more care to both original, FF, & Disney characters alike. Something the game stopped doing after 2.
Apart from the additional playable characters I wonder if Re:mind will only expand the KG cutscenes but keeping the facts shown in vanilla KH3 intact or if some events will actually change (like the royal edition of FFXV did). Anyway I like this trailer more than I thought I would.

My only hang up about this is they'd be asking people to pay for a new ending / changing the ending. I imagine the outcome might be the same, in that the final scene where everybody sees Sora off is kept and the rest of the final cutscene plays through, but people could make the argument that SE is asking for people to pay to get the full ending, which is something similar to what people complained about with Mass Effect.
I don't view this in the same light as the Secret Episode of BbS as it didn't change the ending of the game at all but gave an additional scenario after it. If what has been theorised comes to pass, then the ending is effectively changed and the additional scenario is slotted in there, and people without the DLC now won't have the full ending.
Maybe I was naïve but I thought they'd be changing up the Keyblade Graveyard battles from the main game and delivering a post-credit scenario.
This is all from a trailer though, one that doesn't give that clear of an insight so I'll let this rest until we get more details or the DLC comes out and we can see the full scope of what they're doing. I guess it is similar to Final Fantasy XV's additional dungeon, and that made the end of that game so much stronger.

There's already a new cutscene that happens in another world (Luxord and Xigbar)
Also, is this confirmed to be the only DLC package there will be?
Also, Oblivion seems to have its own form, Dark Form.
Also, is this confirmed to be the only DLC package there will be?
Yeah, I believe Nomura confirmed this a while ago. Though things like the Keyblades will be delivered in a free update, probably the one that adds on compatibility with ReMIND.
Maybe ReMind starts with Sora saving Kairi. After saving her, Sora retconed the final battles in KG. And that could be why he is not present in the Saïx fight. But that would also mean that the final Xehanort fight could be retconed. Oh boy, I really hope that ReMind is not the exact same endgame content but with different characters.

I understand you could argue some scenes could take place between/before battles like Vanitas against Ven and Aqua; Terranort vs. Lingering Will; Kairi and Axel vs. Xion and Saix, but what throws a wrench into this is RAX vs. Saix. I could just be overthinking.
Yeah expecting people to shell out more money to get the ending of this game the way it should been would be pretty bad. Also very Square Enix.
I love how Nomura made a point of showing off Namine. "I gave her a cutscene guys!"
So from the looks of things, they changing how the keyblade war plays out

I had the idea that ReMIND takes place after Sora leaves to save Kairi, and then time is rewound but he doesn't return so we go through playing as Riku (and choosing to play as others) and then at the end Riku sacrifices himself and that's how he ends up in the same worldline as Sora, but then I remembered that Sora was a party member with Riku in the E3 trailer.

But how? Assuming the theory is right, the ending will stay the same. You have to pay to see more story bits, but that's what FMs always did.

BTW - what the heck are those worldlines supposed to be anyway? Dimensions? Timelines?

The FMs added additional story throughout the game and post-credits. This seems to outright alter the entire final chapter of the game. But like I said, this is only an impression from a trailer. I have no idea how this will all actually fit together and if it is actually changing the ending.

I think alternate / parallel universes.

A Square Enix thing to do would be to mismanage resources so badly the "four realzies" ending is release it as a poorly written novel.

If Sora's not gonna present during the Keyblade Graveyard fight, then there's absolutely no excuse why we can't have Xemnas join the he battle between RAX vs Siax (Siax being their final enemy when he's not even invested in the battle is and will always be silly). SoD should stick around in Riku's battle too.
Aw, but that said, Sora is a party member for Riku's section, so he'll probably still be present for the most part. Also, maybe it's be just me, but some of the animations on the RAX finisher, specifically Roxas and Xion's, feel pretty choppy. It's not as fluid ad it could've been.
I made a thread explaining how tf this worldline shit is working
My awful and boring thread link lol
"Go to the world of Ocean and Sky." What does that mean?
You can watch forever as a RAX trio literally destroys Saix.
"Go to the world of Ocean and Sky." What does that mean?
The Final World. I think they might take Naminé out of the Final World and then have her be unmissable if we go back there a second time as Sora, since people can miss talking to Naminé.
"Go to the world of Ocean and Sky." What does that mean?
I thought that he referred to the Final World.
MoM confirmed as the hoodie with Young Xehanort.

He's referring to the Final World.

Why can't Xemnas be in there too?! There's NO reason it still has to be a three v one if you're changing the flow events anyway.

Plus it would mean no BS Kairi-napping.

Stop it! You have no idea how much I would love to play as RAX killing Xemnas and Saix. It's been a dream of mine for years, and I don't want to set myself up for disappointment if it doesn't happen. Even though it should! Please ReMind give me my dream!
Why can't Xemnas be in there too?! There's NO reason it still has to be a three v one if you're changing the flow events anyway.
Xemnas safely escaped with Kairi. So that he could not fight with the RAX trio.
So I guess that's why Lea's keyblade was easily dissipated by Xemnas, it seems to follow the same principal as Way to the Dawn did where it used Soul Eater as a medium to summon.
Or it's just a keyblade transformation that turns into Chakrams and I could be overanalyzing. Who knows!
If people want RAX to fight Xemnas then give me TAV fighting Master Xehanort in that final battle.
So was the hooded man Xigbar? I believe that was his japanese VA.
No, that's MoM's seiyuu
Edit.
Seiyuu=voice actor btw
And I think with this we can finally confirm that the MoM is not Demyx since their voices are really different. At least in Japanese, I don't remember MoM and Demyx voices in English
If people want RAX to fight Xemnas then give me TAV fighting Master Xehanort in that final battle.
Now THAT... Would be too good to be true.

If this series has any sort of visual continuity anymore, then based on Eternal Flames design, it's pretty clear Lea uses his Chakrams as an intermediary for his new Keyblade. Doesn't explain why Xemnas essentially called it fake though.
Xemnas safely escaped with Kairi. So that he could not fight with the RAX trio.
They could just write that out just as easily, if not delay it. If Xemnas was fought, he’d escape regardless of whether or not the player beat him.
How is a RAX fight actually possible without Sora? In order to return Roxas, he needed that connection between Sora and Xion. How in the world could he return without Sora being present in the final battle?

Through the Final World, I guess…? IDK

Hey, Xemnas isn't stupid! He knows when to duck out and leave. In a perfect world Xemnas would have stayed and got slaughtered by RAX, and as he fades away into nothing RAX sit down and eat some ice cream bars with Axel telling them why the sun sets red. Each getting a winner stick as Xemnas disappears as if he never existed. But that's a perfect world game.
No, that's MoM's seiyuu
Edit.

Even better.
Through I'm not sure about it ruling out Demyx as MoM. After all Xigbar and Luxu have different VAs as well
Vanitas remnant fight part 2???? Why is Vanitas shadowy
Vanitas remnant fight part 2???? Why is Vanitas shadowy
I don't think it's the remnant, I think it's just a sampling of the new Organization XIII data battles everyone's been clamoring for. As to why Vanitas looks shadowy, he's using the same move his Lingering Spirit did in BBS when he coccoons himself in darkness and sends shadow clones after you.
It does seem like we play in a post Keyblade war, but the fights they show in the trailer really does seem to be like, before Sora comes in the battle to help, you know?
Sooo... Chirithy talks about someone having a heart inside of them from the past. Then we see Naminé speaking with Sora in his Station of Awakening...
...Could Naminé actually be from the KHx/Ux era? Is she Ava?

Maybe it's because of the method it gets summoned? Like it could be we haven't seen Axel/Lea's true keyblade.
edit: I've been ninja'd.
My best guess now is that a Keyblade that needs an intermediary to summon isn't a full Keyblade. So while it has the appearance of one and the abilities, it's weak and incomplete.
Either there's new lore for the Keyblade, or it's Xemnas with his psychological warfare shenanigans.

Could be referring to Sora housing Ven in his heart.

I forgot about that. Especially how this Chirity is Ventus'
Here's a fun little thought: On the very likely chance that what we're seeing for Aqua and Ventus vs Terranort and Vanitas is before Sora shows up (and not an actual change to the timeline), then that would mean Aqua gave a whole speech about casting Xehanort out of Terra's heart for good, only for Terra to end up having to save her and Sora having to be the one to cast Xehanort out himself. The humiliation would be on par with her battle against Vanitas in the LoD.
On a different note, I love how Ventus riding his Keyblade in a circle while Aqua controls it mirrors Vanitas riding the stream of Keyblades Xehanort controlled in BBS.
A Square Enix thing to do would be to mismanage resources so badly the "four realzies" ending is release it as a poorly written novel.
Au contraire, if Kanemaki was given free reign to eviscerate and refashion the story of KH3 according to her own narrative designs I would gladly substitute that for the game canon. The problem for the DLC developers is that they have the unenviable task of fitting all this into KH3 as it exists and it's guaranteed to be messy.
Best option would probably be a X-2 style tiered ending system. Playing on harder difficulties/completing more optional content unlocks the superior DLC finale while breezing through on beginner nets you the worst original ending. I know that idea is blasphemous for KH purists (me included) but with the wordlines nonsense Nomura is effectively contriving a method/reason to rewrite his own canon so we can just eat our collective hearts out.

I was going to point this out but I didn't want to preempt all that disappointment.
Getting some Sleeping Realm Theory vibes here…

I'm hoping is all these fights (minus Riku's of course since we already know Sora is part of it) exclude Sora. If this is indeed another "worldline" caused by Sora's Power of Waking then I want it so Sora became too exhausted from it to join the other fights.

Didn't they say these would be separate modes? I don't think they'll need to fit it into the base game like the other FMs.
I'm listening to JP Xigbar and MoM and trailer hoodie and it sounds exactly in the middle of them, leaning towards Xigbar.
Sounds like Xigbar at the beginning and MoM at the end, bleh, irritating.

Okay, so this made me remember a joke post of mine and now I'm scared.
Part of Ava's mission was to guarantee the birth of a Princess of Heart, Kairi, becoming her grandmother. To make sure she can continue the rest of her mission, she sent her heart into Kairi during Maleficent's attack on Radiant Garden. Later when Sora released his and Kairi's heart, Granny Ava's heart was also released and flew off to Castle Oblivion. Becoming the Nobody anomaly Namine, with no memory of her previous life.
The Data Real Org. XIII is mega-awesome! I think I know what amount of strength and defense they will have, the same as the KHII Final Mix, that means 86 of strength and 51 of defense each. Oh boy I CAN'T WAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!
Didn't they say these would be separate modes? I don't think they'll need to fit it into the base game like the other FMs.
Same story (literally) either way. I can't see how it would feel emotionally fulfilling to grind through these fights a second time within the same narrative when their dramatic value expired upon the first go around. It serves to underscore the problems with the creative decisions made in structuring the story the way it was done initially.
Essentially this just reads as Nomura realizing "oh shit I picked the bad scenario when I had better options" and trying to cover his tracks.
Okay, so this made me remember a joke post of mine and now I'm scared.
Wow, talk about foreboding. And not just you, a couple of other users suggested Kairi might be connected the past in a more recent thread.
I was going to point this out but I didn't want to preempt all that disappointment.
I had a feeling, lol. I almost wasn't going to either, but I figured it'd be best to give everyone another healthy dose of reality.
Nomura: "I wonder how else I can humiliate Aqua? Ah, yes. That'll do."
I'm hoping is all these fights (minus Riku's of course since we already know Sora is part of it) exclude Sora. If this is indeed another "worldline" caused by Sora's Power of Waking then I want it so Sora became too exhausted from it to join the other fights.
At this point, it'd be just like Nomura to give Aqua another pointless speech followed by a humiliating defeat.
Case and point: "I'll protect whoever ends up in the RoD!" Loses Keyblade and gets beaten by SoD, who takes her only companion, with zero difficulty.
"We stand together" Gives up without a fight
"Now it's my turn to shine." Fails to show battle competence and gets knocked out by someone weaker than her.
'Form up! .... Ok, now I'm gonna break formation!" Lea and Kairi: "SERIOUSLY!!"
Okay, so this made me remember a joke post of mine and now I'm scared.
I unironically want this.
-Okay, so the DLC has some story elements to it that advance the plot as opposed to just showing some insight on certain events (Young Xehanort talking with this enigmatic figure (I'm guessing Xigbar? I'm not too familiar with the Japanese VA), Sora attempting to rescue Kairi, and meeting Namine in the Dive to the Heart (not in that order necessarily)). I can also see how Xigbar may have been creating a self-fulfilling prophecy by influencing YX before he became a master of darkness (YX's heart could have travelled into the future to see what became of the worlds, and Xigbar is in a cloak to disguise himself so MX doesn't know he's the one that's the puppet).
-We see some obvious one on one boss battles we get to try again. We also see some team attacks which seems fun for the BSE (Before Sora Enters) i.e. Axel X Roxas X Xion and Aqua X Ventus
-We also get the Oblivion and Oathkeeper Keyblade, which is strange to me, because I was more than convinced that only by obtaining the Proof of Times Past would you be able to obtain the Oblivion Keyblade (given the translations and all) but now it seems that you can get it regardless of beating Critical Mode or not (as Sora's HP is at Proud Mode Max and not Critical Max); it makes me wonder what the "Proofs" are for in the future (who knows, maybe they're nothing? Like the crowns? But that seems unlikely to me). Also, it seems that the Oblivion Keyblade holds some sort of Guardian Form aspects to it, and the Oathkeeper has some Element Form aspects to it as well. I'm sad that they don't change forms though, I think it'd be wicked cool to have a scythe like weapon for Oblivion and a new gun form for Oathkeeper.
-The two things I'm not on is why the Lingering Will is holding the Earthshaker Keyblade as opposed to the Ends of the Earth Keyblade we obviously see him fighting Terranort with before -I feel like there's a story element there, because to me that's like a downgrade for Keyblades-. If the EE Keyblade were being used at the time by another individual, I could understand that, but as far as I'm aware, no one was using it, and two of the same Keyblade CAN exist if they are from different times (i.e. No Name). Also, when does the Roxas + Xion + Axel fight scenario fit in to the whole Saix battle? I highly doubt that's one of the intended 13 boss fights, given from what we just saw from Xigbar and Vanitas.
PS When Chirithy was talking, I initially thought they were talking to Sora, given that he DID go back in time to stop light form expiring, but now I'm seeing people say that Chirithy is most likely speaking to Kairi, who (whether or not it was a joke) is somehow connected to the past...aw fuck
PPS It is now confirmed that Sora is indeed a "Quick Shot" (0:49)...tee hee :p

Who said the battles were so bad ...
Well, okay, everyone has their own opinion.
Everything shown in the trailer really looks like an alternative reality.
The question is if Sora will be absent. Who will fight with Xehanort ?
Who said the battles were so bad ...
Well, okay, everyone has their own opinion.
They were fun until you realize you can kinda just hang back and dodge every now and then and the other characters will essentially handle all of the fighting.
But if you throw yourself into the fray it is...chaotic.
Namine:
Nobody:
Sora: bitch leave *storms off*

TAV maybe, to finish their grudge with the old man. Either them or Donald's Zettaflare.

Aqua: "Terra, I'm going to cast the darkness out of you!"
*Camera shifts to reveal Ven as the playable character for this fight*
Remember how Osaka Team outdid themselves with Phantom Aqua in 0.2, and never even tried to make another boss as well designed and fun to learn as that one in KH3?
Well... I'm hoping this DLC shows us more of that.
Ho damn please give me playable Lingering Will

I like to think of myself as a necessary evil. This forum will be better off with people like me around, I'm sure. ?:devilish:
And you know what, that's not even technically impossible anymore seeing as how it appears Lea will be the playable character for his section instead of Roxas. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the BBS fight to have Ven as the main too. Which is all the more reason I still think Aqua and Terranort should be having a proper 1v1 rematch instead of a tag team fight (though even then Nomura could still have her lose if he really wanted to). I'd love to see her whip out those giant chains against him the way Terra did in 0.2.
Also, I find it absolutely halarious that Terranort has a cocky grin on his face when he's readying to fight both Aqua and Lingering Will despite being fully aware he lost to them before, and nothings changed since then.
Little late to the party as usual, but man, my hype for KH3 has officially been rekindled. It looks like the events of KG are getting a much needed expansion, as Nomura promised. Bring on winter!
Guys, can we not appreciate the details of the skin on Aqua's FACE?!

Where are people getting the idea Lea's Keyblade is "fake"? That was just Xemnas talking shit to demoralise him. And he can formchange them into chakrams in the base game, it's just really blurry/difficult to see clearly.

Could be, but you'd think if he was able to destroy any normal Keyblade that easily, he'd have done it by now, no? And the only time we've ever seen someone question the authenticity of a Keyblade like that is when Riku fought Xion, and when Maleficent destroyed Data Sora's Keyblade- in a very similar matter to what Xemnas did. And we know that in both of those cases, the Keyblades they were using were counterfeit (at least at the time of the events). I think that's a substantial enough amount of evidence for one to come to a similar conclusion with Lea's Keyblade, though chances are we may never know for sure, like many other things in this game.

A separate mode would make more sense to be honest. And it should require a completed file to be able to play it...Like how Final Episode and Secret Episode worked in BBS.

Heck I've always appreciated Aqua's face ?
Yep that’s definitely so it’s the Master Of Masters. Not Xigbar or Demyx.
Why is nobody mentioning that Sora has a Dark Form now???
It's in the Vanitas bossfight. It seems to me like a circumstantial form, as in it triggers during certain points of the story instead of being related to what keyblade he's got equipped. But if that's true, does that mean the Vanitas fight isn't a secret boss but is instead part of the plot? Or maybe you get it after completing something/reaching a certain point in the DLC?
I'm assuming it's post-game, related to Sora's sacrifice? I wonder if this means all the Soranort fics will finally have a chance at becoming canon…

Pretty sure Dark form is just associated with Oblivion and not for plot reasons. If Oathkeeper grant's Sora "Light Form" then it makes sense for Oblivion to have dark

This is definitely the case. When he blocks, you can see the chains of Oblivion wrap around the shield.
I had to watch the trailer at work and had to hold in all the screams. This trailer was EXACTLY what I was hoping for (in terms of information revealed and hype). I don't feel like it spoiled what's going on, but got me VERY intrigued.
I was hoping for more Disney stuff, but I was pretty sure we wouldn't get any.
Even though I didn't need to be sold on buying the DLC, this trailer definitely has me hyped up to get it. Anime-style battle between Terranort and Lingering Will? HELL YEAH! Aqua's line about removing Xehanort from Terra made me tear up. RAX stuff (and even Kairi GETTING A LINE) was amazing. And of course... NAMINE WILL ACTUALLY APPEAR DURING THE GAME.
That line Sora says to her about going back to the world of sky and sea... I felt like it meant to return to Sora/Kairi (Sky/Sea). Although it will probably be translated to The Final World.
I'm really hoping that this DLC "fixes" all the stuff people hated about KH3, so that more fans can enjoy the game and not have such a negative feeling towards it.
It’s a new form that is activated when using Oblivion :)
Omg, I swear I read wiki pages on the lore for fun so I can participate in interesting conversations like these and then I make stupid mistakes like not noticing he's holding Oblivion.

Nah, it's just Oblivion. Oathkeeper is probably called "Light Form" as a compliment to Obilvion's "Dark Form". They seem to channel abilities that are reminiscent of Kairi and Riku.
That line Sora says to her about going back to the world of sky and sea... I felt like it meant to return to Sora/Kairi (Sky/Sea). Although it will probably be translated to The Final World.
Huh? Sora just doesn't know that the name of The Final World is "The Final World". He probably just thought Chirithy meant "the final world" like it's the last place to go. So he calls it the "world of sky and sea" because he's called it a similar thing before in his Kingstagram.
The translation they are using is the localized translation.

I'd prefer it to just be accessible from a normal save file, either in Scala or the moment you defeat Xehanort, basically where it seems to chronologically be happening. Crit LVL 1 is really unbalanced, so if we have to go through this without cooking if we wanna do LVL 1, I'm gonna be a little bullshit over it.
Having to fight all these new bosses with fixed stats would really ruin my fun.

Well I don't know the context of the conversation he has with Namine, let alone how she is in Sora's heart. My point was that the "world of sky and sea" could have also been seen as relating to Sora/Kairi -- the two characters that are on opposite sides of life/death in KH3. I know he meant The Final World, but I liked that wording used. I hope that he does say "world of sky and sea" in the English version, but it doesn't sound like something English Sora would say.
Speaking of his Kingstagram... did he post to Kingstagram while he was in The Final World lol.

The vanitas fight is not part of the story, it's a data fight like we had in KH2FM.
It's the master of masters who's talking to the young xehanort at the end of the trailer, but I like know is where has he hiding all this time? unless he has the power of time travel so he can sure that the second keyblade war can happen. but only my opinion at the moment from what I see from the trailer.
Did you mean...
... Kairi's grandma?
Okay, so this made me remember a joke post of mine and now I'm scared.
Actually, this could work, but it can't, because if so, Master Xehanort would have to have been different as well when he was separated from Terra's heart. Unless, of course, you wanna argument that, since Sora had a plethora of hearts inside of him, that somehow rejuvinated Kairi's grandma.
Getting some Sleeping Realm Theory vibes here…
How so? I think Spockanort's thread is clear and believable.
NO do not like
Overall, I liked the trailer.
It wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but I will take it. I'm glad they are focusing on things that matter.
Nothing would disappoint me more than if they gave us irrelevant stuff like like new mini games in 100 Acre Wood, new dishes to cook etc... at the cost of this.
The Keyblade War may finally live up to my hype.
What I liked:
- New playable characters during the War and not just Sora everywhere.
- Reaction Commands?! That's what Aqua/Ventus and Axel/Roxas/Xion seemed to be doing and cinematics like that are what made KH2 boss battles the most memorable ones to me.
- New fights?! Terranort vs Lingering Will??! We could also have Kairi vs Xemnas or vs Master Xehanort after she gets kidnapped and tries to fight back. Not holding my breath though, it's just an idea.
- Org XIII Data Boss Battles. I'm glad we're having them instead of the Foretellers. There's time for them in the next saga.
What I didn't like:
- Lack of variety. I was expecting the trailer to focus on more than just the Keyblade War and Sora saving Kairi, but it's barely more than that.
- Still nothing about the secret episode.
- Still nothing about Kairi being playable and of course FF characters.
- No new world playable yet.
I was expecting a more specific release date like December 2019 or January 2020, but that's ok. It will be out before February, that's for sure. Next stop should be Jump Festa in December.
- Still nothing about the secret episode.
That's why it's secret, duh :P
So I just had a thought.
If the Sora and Side character boss fights are all together as one thing, then that means we haven't seen the Secret Episode yet.
Cause remember Re+Mind is three parts:
The Additional Scenario "Re+Mind"
Limit Cut (Data battles, as seen in the trailer with the white arena)
A Secret Episode that includes a boss/bosses.
Just had a thought; what if Sora and Riku’s new Team Attack was a more powerful version of their Limit in KHII, ending with Mirage Split?
- No new world playable yet.
That's....a pretty tall order....that's probably just me.
That's....a pretty tall order....that's probably just me.
It's possible. If not for the additional scenario Re:Mind, then for the secret episode. Doesn't need to be something big.
BBS Final Mix secret episode gave us Realm of Darkness with Aqua.
You know, everything else aside, I'm really glad they're using...whatever the name of that track is, for these trailers. That music just blew my mind when I first heard it, and the 3 Xehanort fight was probably my favorite part of the whole game to that point (ironically coming right before my least favorite part). Really that theme might just be my favorite boss track of the whole series now.
But it makes me wonder, how the hell is there no soundtrack for KH3 yet?? It'd be great to know what these tunes are actually called.
Would be nice if Namine acknowledged Repliku at some point. He did sacrifice his chance at life for her sake
Would be nice if Namine acknowledged Repliku at some point. He did sacrifice his chance at life for her sake
I'm low-key hoping that they retcon the line Repliku says to Riku when he gives him the replica body for Namine. I really want Repliku to say "take care of her" to Riku.
I would also love for Namine to mention Repliku (at least HINT it). I mean no one has even informed Sora about the events of Castle Oblivion yet, so that's why a hint would work best. Maybe he thinks that she's talking about Riku, but she means Repliku.

That whole situation is strange.
The only time Naminé ever acknowledged Repliku is that one drawing in KHII. Otherwise, it's like he never existed. Not one single breath she puffed. Whatever connection they have is Naminé violating his mind to be obsessed with her [by orders] and her feeling very guilty about it. He doesn't know her. And they never had that much content in CoM. Perhaps someone can explain what this "strong connection" they have is?
And I feel Riku Replica did it more for personal reasons aside from just giving a vessel to her. He had already decided to reject returning because he considered himself to be another Riku.

He was incredibly protective of her throughout Re Chain, and he says himself that he doesn't care if his memories were fake. He still cared deeply about Namine despite what she did, and went out of his way to rescue her from Marluxia when things got dicey. I should think Namine, like Sora, would feel grateful (at the very least) and wish for him to view himself as his own person. Riku, who had far more screentime than Namine, only ever mentioned Repliku once between Reverse Rebirth and KH3, but we know he cared for his replica all the same (and even grew frustrated when he didn't take the vessel). That, and Repliku was dead, and there was never any appropriate scene where she would feel the need to bring him back up from what I recall.
If nothing else, she has a stronger connection with Repliku (who was willing to put his life on the line for her) than she does Xion pre KH3.

How much of that was on his own volition and how much of that was due to the brainwashing? Would he had done the same if Naminé hadn't messed with his heart and mind? He accepted they were fake, but he's still acting on feelings that wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for her. Repliku in general was a non-factor post-CoM. That's why the sudden plethora of relevancy in III came out of left field to me, some more build up would have smoothed it better. Though I am glad he wasn't forgotten. It bothered me that Xion was a Sora (Roxas?) replica and got all the attention while Riku Replica was forgotten in the abyss.
Furthermore, Riku Replica doesn't view himself as his own person. Whether other characters or the audience disagrees, that's his truth, like it was Vanitas'. He made a choice to relinquish the chance to live because he considered himself a copy. You can't force it upon him, which is why Ven, for example, didn't Naruto talk Vanitas into the whole "YOU'RE YOUR OWN PERSON" like Sora was trying to do. Sometimes you just have to respect others' paths.
As for the last bit, yeah, can't disagree.
A false light....that raises so many questions and now I'm thinking the MoM may have purposely damaged Eraqus and Young Xehanort's relationship. I mean Eraqus was the influence that kept Xehanort good what more effective way to send him down a dark path then to first show him how ruined the world is and how it needs a leader. Then tell him all his faith in Eraqus is misplaced and that his best friend Eraqus he is so sure will be the one the world chooses and will just be happy to be there to support...is a false light that won't save the world and that leaving it up to him is a lousy idea. Finally after the doubt and damage is done implant into the boy's head that he just like Eraqus has the strength to stand up and become the leader of the world, and even plants into him the question of what kind of world YX wants to build.
Then just let time do the rest of the work. Eraqus and Xehanort slowly grow more distant because they go their separate ways as adults, Eraqus becomes a light Xealot and doubles down on suppression and rejection which doesn't jive with Xehanort who thinks the world's balance needs to be repaired. Those haunting words of Eraqus being a false light, and the idea he has the power so he could make the world he wants, get the best of him as he nears the end of his own life. He meets with Eraqus to try and work together towards his goal, but Eraqus rejects and attacks him. That cements the breaking of their friendship and finally with the two fully severed Xehanort goes full villain.
Which means the ending of KH3 for Xehanort isn't just an end to his plans, it's him recovering from the damage the MoM did to their relationship. The two estranged friends become friends once more, Eraqus returns to being the bright boy happy to be with Xehanort and Xehanort returns to being the boy happy just to trust and support another, one who reminds him of Eraqus in his youth, to lead and build a better world where he had failed. Visually represented by Xehanort turning over the X-blade to Sora and then him and Eraqus physically transforming back to their young selves before passing on.
Or at least that's my theory.
I’m not going to pretend to know about localization and Japanese but I definitely heard “yami” in the MoM and YMX scene and the closed captions said nothing about Darkness. Anyone know anything about that?

The girls were complaining about that earlier. I believe Oracle Spockanort said that the English translations weren't covering the full sentences as they are said in Japanese:
MoM says to YX is he sure he wants to let the world end in darkness whereas SE is like "WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR THE WORLD" |
That was a scrumptious b-day present~

What is her pore routine
I liked it! Really I just want a bunch of challenging boss fights and FF cameos. Looks like FF cameos won't happen but a gauntlet of tough fights like the Data fights are enough to make up that for me.
Story stuff is interesting I guess, I'll wait and see when I actually play the game for that. I think other playable characters during Keyblade Graveyard will please many. Tbh that was the one criticism that I never had a problem with since before the game came out, I wanted Sora to fight all 13 of them solo lmao but I'm happy others will get there wish to play as the other lights
"It's already gone back into the past."
God, please be just a bloated way of saying how Sora pressed the reset button after the Demon Tide moment and not another one of these "harr, harr, Sora has always been connected to the Age of Fairytales and of course this was foreshadowed ten years ago, but only came up now!" plot twists. Gameplay looks good though.

I don't think this is it.
I think, as other mentioned, chirity is talking about Kairi's heart.
Kairi had amnesia whe she fell on Destiny Islands, right? So, since that time, her heart was never reunited to her memories. Until Xehanort killed her and released her heart to The Final World. When Kairi's heart went to the final world, she then remembered who she really was. Her memories of being someone else finally returned, and then she goes back to her heart in the past, before she became Kairi.
Also, I was playing the game yesterday and I watched this scene again:
(1:18)
And I started theorizing a bit:
Kairi is "the girl", and the girl was Ava. which again Xigbar said "didn't make it, after all" in the secret ending. Well, Kairi lost her memories when she fell on Destiny Islands. But how, exactly? I think the answer is THE BLACK BOX. Ansem The Wise put her memories of being AVA inside the box.
I think it's weird how the phrasing of Ansem is "YOU HAVE SEEN THE GIRLS MEMORIES?", and "WHERE DID YOU PUT THE GIRL?" totally points to Kairi in the story. Like Ansem and Apprentice Xehanort, she is the only KH character who used to live in Radient garden (as seen in BBS) and was sent away when a kid.
In parallel to that, there is a Plot C happening about everyone looking for the black box. This is a far theory, but from what I can see, they expect her memories to be SOMEWHERE, like it's a tangible thing (and not just a normal memory loss).
The box probably has an important memory from Kairi when a kid in RG, or... has an important memory from ava.

The impression I got was that Sora, with his limited understanding of worldlines and time travel, thought he could go back to an earlier point in Worldline 2 where Kairi was killed so that he could prevent that from happening. Chirithy telling him he can't do that would lead to him instead jumping to Worldline 3, where Re:Mind would play out.
Interesting they are still hiding Demyx in the trailers. I just keep thinking back to Nomura saying "wry smile: Oh he is coming" in regards to him. Must be something big.
One thing I find interesting is that Lingering Will is no longer using Ends of the Earth. Instead, Terra's too pissed to die mode seems to be using Earthshaker.

This explains why Roxas and Aqua were confirmed playable. I'm also glad to see Namine in-game. Still, I'm hoping for more surprises.

They've been doing an excellent job of not revealing too much in trailers this time. Of course, there's the obvious fact that it's a DLC and not a full game this time, but they've given us nuggets and mostly gameplay. I'm betting the next trailer will be the last one before release, and we'll most likely get a release date in the next one. If they have any more trailers than that, they run the risk of over-exposure, in my opinion. So I'm hoping we're on track for a Winter 2019 release.
I'm hoping for a January release date. Maybe a year after KH3's release? I definitely would not want it during Christmas.

Hm? That's only two months away! If it were that close to release, don't ya think we'd have gotten a date by now? Lol, not that I'd mind either way, it just seems a bit too soon for something said to release in the winter.

They can give a date on it at any time. DLC is less restrictive than a proper game release since they can shift the date around internally depending on how their pipeline is going without any repercussions, and they can afford a smaller window between date dropping and release.

Noted ?. Didn't realize DLC worked so differently in that area, but I suppose it makes sense given the method of release. Thanks for clarifying things.
Nomura said the DLC is already finished
so they can drop it just when they want
i think it's gonna be january 25/29 to mark one year of release

If they do November, please drop it on Thanksgiving. I just want a chance when I can dedicate time specifically to it.
I have a question about Ven’s Chirithy. Can it turn into a dark Chirithy even though Ventus’ darkness was extracted? Or was Dark chirithy also extracted when Ven’s darkness was extracted???

Theoretically, if Ven used a power bangle long and often enough, then I could see how that might potentially cause his Chirithy to change regardless.
Otherwise, I don't really see it being possible unless the Chirithy has it's connection severed and goes around using the darkness of it's own accord (if it even has the capacity to do that).

He said no such thing.

Probably gonna be Jump Festa in late December. There's still Paris Games Week and The Game Awards, but those are less likely imo.
He said he was done writing the scenario for Re Mind, not that the entirety of its development was done.
Ohhh yeah that.
i didn't remember it fully

Yeah, and Jump Festa would be the place if we were to assume that the DLC drops January 2020. If it comes out before then, I could see a trailer next month or sometime in November.
Two more things:
- Naminé looks beautiful and I;m happy she finally gets a proper cutscene
- the trailer is hinting at playable Axel, so... Playable Kairi too? C'mon Nomura, this is your chance.
Really hoping for Kairi
I really hope we see Sora save Kairi/Kairi playable

January.

It would make for a perfect Christmas present. Jack Skellington and Sandy Claws can deliver it to us.
Casting my vote for January.

Yeah, me too! I wonder when they'll give us a date... I think it will come between late oct / early nov
January.
It does make sense but it kind of contradicts what Nomura hopes for

YAS lol

Well, I do think it might come at KHIII 1 year anniversary
I think it’ll be January, but I think December is possible if the DLC is ready and they want to boost their Q3 earnings. They’ll do well in Q4 regardless because of FFVII.
I'm figuring January, right on the 1st year anniversary.
It's possible they could have it come out during Jump Festa.

I'm hoping for a Nov-Dec release, but I could see them dropping it in January. February would be calling it close, which Nomura's said before that the team wants to get it out the way before the FF7 Remake.
