Kingdom Hearts III

[Lex]

I saw the news that it's confirmed for Q4, that's good. I predict a November release.

This indirectly confirms that remake won't be releasing this year, which is no shock.

I predicted a November release for the last couple of months before this news came into light, and my sister agrees. So yeah, November is the most likely month. Only way to confirm it for real is for Nomura to say it next week.

This indirectly confirms that remake won't be releasing this year, which is no shock.

It was pretty much obvious that FFVII Remake wasn't going to be out this year because one, Nomura is focused more on KH3 and two, Square pulled out from CC2 and they're starting that game from scratch.

Isn’t that technically Q3, based on the way Square Enix’s fiscal year is done? Like SE’s Fiscal Year 2019 is calendar 1st of April 2018 to 31st of March 2019 right?

 

[Lex]

In the presentation it's listed under "Q3 FY 2019" which is Q4 2018 (so yes, you are correct).

JANUARY 29TH 2019. JAPAN GETS IT 4 DAYS EARLY. OMG, WE FINALLY HAVE A RELEASE DATE


THIS IS NOT A DRILL, JANUARY 29TH 2019 KINGDOM HEARTS III IS RELEASED!

 

[Theozilla]

Nomura apparently also apologized for the slight delay (I guess this news dropped at the KH concert?). Personally, I’m not too miffed since it’s basically only two more months than what I was originally expecting (end of November).

Description of the orchestra trailer

Remy from Ratatouille is apparently a summon and Lea, Kairi, and Aqua appeared in the trailer.

 

[Dashell]

man... still no sign of Demyx though... maybe he'll be in the next one.

 

[Ryuman]

January sucks ONLY because now I have to listen to jokes about it being "delayed" for the rest of the year...

 

[Tashasaurous]

Goddammit! I knew the 2018 release was too good to be true. It's the two year wait all over again! I knew it was the case of 2.8 all over again, all because of now Tomb Raider Origins 3.

UGH! I was so looking forward to the game releasing this year, now they just crushed it again! So angry right now.

 

[Geostigma]

It's just like 2 months difference lol

 

[Tashasaurous]

It's still an ENTIRE year of delay, though. Everytime they make a promise, they always screw things up and don't keep it and always leads their fans with false hope.

I was seriously looking forward to see it finally this year and now I have to entire for another entire year for it.

And even though it's being made by the European Square Enix studios, I'm blaming Shadow of the Tomb Raider for this because it's being released in September. Or it was last I checked unless that game suddenly is being pushed to a November release like FFXV did in 2016 which resulted KH2.8 being pushed from it's 2016 to January last year as well.

 

[Geostigma]

Totally. It has everything to do with an unrelated game that was developed by another team entirely that's releasing 2 months before you "predicted" KH3 to drop.

And totally has nothing, nothing what so ever, to do with the game having been demo'd not that long ago at an event with a bunch of personalities on Twitch and Youtube(Many of which being speedrunners of the series) who all reported the game felt to floaty and clunky. Totally not that.


Also TIL there are like 10 extra months between November and January. Huh.

Sorry. I was hoping that I was wrong about it being delayed to next year and that the latest we'd be getting KH3 was November or December.

I hate it when they say one release year and then suddenly say that the said release year is really false. If you know what I mean. Delays are the worst.

 

[Geostigma]

As Hian eloquently put it on Discord.

We all know the real reason KH3 was delayed to January is because they want to release FF7R in 2018 with a KH3 demo

I thought they were starting FFVIIRemake from scratch, considering how KH3 was in development more than the Remake. There's no way FFVII Remake will be released this year.

 

[JechtShotMK9]

And Tasha comes in to rain on everyone's parade yet again. Who could have seen this coming.

Maybe they looked here and delayed it "a year" just to mess with you.

Where on Earth did you hear something like that? Just because they pulled development in-house doesn't mean starting from scratch. Also, there was never any indication that the Remake was going to come out this year. What are you on about?

i have nothing to add to this, i still need to catch up with whatever that new game was on the ps4 (and the mobile one but my phone have no space boo). but i just wanted to add that i am loving the sparkly effects on the logo there with the flash of light and particles in the back. that's nice.

also my birthday is in january so. maybe y'all should get me a present or something.

 

[ultima espio]

That release date is 1 month, 13 years and 7 days since KHII released. 13/7 had to be there somewhere

 

[Tetsujin]

January 29th...that's shortly after KupoCon, guess I'll buy it in Glasgow then.

Plenty of time for my platinum run of all the games.

Also, I still haven't actually played DDD. I had only finished the short 0.2 game that came with it.

 

[Lex]

FROZEN CONFIRMED!!!!

New trailer from the MS conference

 

[X-SOLDIER]

So if the KH3 trailer dropped during Microsoft... what is gonna be at the SE conference...?

[Teioh]

There was hype just the other day about three private videos appearing on the Kingdom Hearts youtube playlist (they've disappeared now, screenshots are all that remain). So maybe there's another trailer (or two) for them to show?

 

[ultima espio]

I just watched it

Spoiler

Aqua got possessed? Or some kind of illusion? Larxene makes an appearance in Frozen, didn't see that one coming. Would have thought Olympus due to her connection with Thunder/Lighting.
