Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory [PS4/XB1/Switch]

[Tetsujin]

The title and logo leaked earlier and some people speculated it might be a rhythm game based on the title. Well, they were right.

Is a silly rhythm game spin-off title gonna be important to the overall storyline?

It's Kingdom Hearts, so you bet your ass it is

Releases worldwide this year.

Also, it's 2020 and we're close to next-gen but here they are still reusing those PS2 models lol

They also really like those Theatrhythm sprites, lol. (I will say I genuinely enjoyed Theatrhythm Curtain Call.)

I'm so in. I loved Curtain Call lol

I just put this in the KH3 thread, I thought that this and the Kairi game were separate, they're not. You'll probably have to play through all this to get cutscenes with Kairi, rather than gameplay.

i would be suspect if it weren't for theatrhythm (which i was just reminded about unrelated to this today, which is a coincidence), which slapped so i'm actually excited for it

Another "reflecting again on past memories" excuse to make an easy cash grab.

That's why I gave up playing this franchise.

Seems there was an English subbed trailer in the meantime as well

Take it as a grain of salt, but according to an Austrian retailer on the internet, a release date is set for the game, apparently the 13th of November this year. I don't think this is true at all, but I'd thought I'd give out this info, just in case.

Release Nov 13 confirmed:

November 11th for Japna. *sigh* Dear Square, when will you do a simultaneous release for KH?

 

[Odysseus]

They managed it for the remake sort of, ignoring early European releases. Kinda weird they can't do the same for a rhythm game.

Trophy list has already leaked:

New Dearly Beloved is a bop:

Here's the final trailer:

English and extra footage.

 

[Tashasaurous]

I have another theory about this.

What if,

Spoiler: (ReMind and Melody of Memory Spoiler)

in the ending where Sora loses to Yozora, they actually swapped bodies and it was Yozora who was speaking to Kairi in Sora's body?

I can't believe this is real.

"The power of music"
"learn more about the mysterious power of the Melody!"

Kingdom Hearts is a comedy. I know this now.

Relieve memories

I thought I already done that on Chain of Memories, Coded, etc...

Shameless cashgrab, this franchise is a parody of itself.

 

[Strangelove]

this sounds ridiculous but i will buy it and play it for hours

Noooo, that was reliving your memories through card games and computer debugging.

This is reliving your memories through a rhythm game. And this has ALL the memories up to KH3!

...And maybe, God willing, Kairi will fucking do something this time.

Probably not but... We'll see. Well, I won't.. Not interested.

 

[Strangelove]

memories is a useful gimmick when you’re recycling content but need a justification, i get it, but i kinda wish after these decades they would think of at least one other

also is sora meant to remember the music, was he walking around all that time and he’s hearing background music. would he be like “oh shit i can hear that sad song again, this isn’t going to be nice”

Translated Famitsu interview

This was initially straight up called Theatrhythm Kingdom Hearts. Also, Yoko Shimomura has wanted a game like this to happen for a while now and once dumped a full set of KH soundtracks on the Theathrhythm director so he would make it

 

[Tetsujin]

SarahKey got to play the demo early:

Doubt I'll be getting the game day one so I'll probably settle watching her stream it when it releases

 

[ultima espio]

Looks like all the KH tubers have it:

Traverse Town at 5:00 looks really good.
