Ryuman · 05/16/2018

I'm currently in the mind of treating this Premiere event as being something like the FFXV Uncovered event (Marketing-wise, not content of course).
By the time the Uncovered event rolled around and gave us a release date the game was scheduled to release 6 months from then. Obviously they're different games with different promotional campaigns but I'm honestly not expecting a different M.O. right now.
However, if they want to surprise us then then by all means!

It could be releasing sooner than anyone expects. This kind of promotion doesn't normally begin until the game is just around the corner. Imagine they shadow dropped it at E3? lmao

Looks like it was for an event of some kind where it was used to pick up some people. Either Square Enix picking up people or people picking up Square Enix. I don't quite understand the tweet lol

Shows a photo of a bus with Shadow of the Tomb Raider with the September release date too.

Edit: to say that it looks like Square Enix were the ones doing the picking up of representatives from Koch Media Spain.

As much I want to believe that KH3 could be releasing sooner than anyone's expecting, I find this to be suspicious, especially since most people in London's more focusing on Harry and Megan's Wedding on Saturday than games at the moment.

Leaked screenshots of the Premiere Event demo.

(SPOILER)

More probably coming, regardless we are getting footage tomorrow.

Man that's so meta. A game character meeting a game character within game.

THat's a bit harder to swallow. I could buy Andy's mom having gotten him some made up JRPG game, since the first two Toy Story games take place between 1997 and 2000, and that was when those games really kicked off on the playstation.

Dissidia, that's a little too direct. But that's their game to market to the kids this way I guess...

Perhaps theirs is an Earth where gaming is 20 years ahead or the calendar is 20 years behind.

Ryuman · 05/19/2018

Or in their universe it's just a line of toys, considering that's all I can see there.

Is anyone else worried that Sora yelling Yeah every third attack is gonna get annoying?

leadmyskeptic · 05/19/2018

Man, I gotta say, having never played any of the "Kingdom Hearts" games, but still having seen people play segments of the core 2 games at their houses, witnessed plenty of promos/trailers/etc over the years, it's still very striking to me just how god-damned ridiculous these games are in concept and execution. Now, I don't mean that they're not good or even great games, or that the concept doesn't work I mean, 24 million copies...obviously, it does. But that doesn't make it any less "Am I having another acid flashback?"-y to see Donald Duck quacking wildly while Nomura'd-up-to-their-eyeballs JRPG characters shoot magic out of door-opening tools. What a world we live in.

I noticed that his battle dialogs are too few and hence are very repetitive

Saw most of the gameplay and it looks great so far but I don't know why I'm not hyped for this game as much as I should be. Maybe 13 years of waiting was too long? Maybe too many prequels, mini sequels I haven't played? Maybe story is too convoluted now?

I just hope someone posts a very detailed story summary on Youtube

Trainer Red · 05/20/2018

Nomura challenges the YouTubers to be able to keep up with the flood of incoming news since it will come to a daily release.

Issat so, Nomura?

(A part of me is thinking that Nomura's talking big, but a bigger part of me is optimistic and that Nomura's being productive again.)
