>>1129006 >Ansem's original VA from KH1 was never rehired even though he was happy to do the role >Kairi's VA had a single scheduling mishap - for which she was never forgiven and replaced by Xion's VA doing double-duty Will they go for the hat trick and replace Sora's voice?

>>1129089 Seems like sora is too important. But then again a sound a like would be more than easy to get. I'm surprised they got the famous kid to begin with.

>>1129006 They could replace him. But who could replace Nomura as a writer?

>>1129136 I'm assuming nomura has it in his contract that he can't be replaced

>>1129075 wut

>>1129006 The story has become too convoluted anyway. But I did like the kingdom hearts 3 dlc

>>1129105 That's another thing, yeah. Nomura's autism causing decades long sequel gaps means the cast aren't getting any young; hell, Mickey and Xehanort's VAs died before 3, and that's the game where the age is starting to be noticeable for some (like Goofy, Xigbar, and Sora himself). He was willing to age him up for KH2, but he wants him to remain a self insert for adolescents-to-teens, so they're gonna have to replace Haley eventually.

>>1129215 >Nomura's autism What is his obsession btw with ff13 vs failing? He's not letting that go

>>1129006 fuck now I need AI Sora reading /pol/ posts

>>1129215 What did you think of kingdom hearts 3? Seemed weirdly disconnected between worlds imo

>>1129006 Why is his face so small

>>1129236 Doesn’t ai sorta voice exist?

>>1129254 The Keyblade Graveyard sequence should’ve kicked off the game. Right from the start, the gang gets defeated, setting a darker, more urgent tone. Sora would then travel to each world, not just to go through the motions, but with a real purpose: to retrieve his friends' hearts and slowly regain the power of waking. Until he fully restores them, he carries each heart within himself—just like he did with Kairi before. That twist would’ve given the Disney worlds real narrative weight and made them feel essential to the story. Over time, Sora’s physical form would begin to deteriorate from the strain, leading to his eventual disappearance at the game’s end.

>>1129330 I actually like this

>>1129233 From what I understand (do not take me as empirical), he was REALLY invested in its development as part of the "Fabula Nova Crystallis", a series of games that would be centered around some shared concepts (including things like Type-0 and the FF13 trilogy itself). Things didn't quite pan out as a result of 13's mixed reception and Nomura got ripped off his passion project while they put in some stooge named Tabata to shoo it out the door to recoup losses after being divorced from 13 as FF15. That game had a LOT of its story trimmed and revamped for the worse (particularly regarding the female lead Lunafreya, formerly Stella), and it STILL got panned. I'm guessing Nomura died a little inside from watching his baby get mutilated, and he's trying to use KH to get an approximation of his vision - hence that scene with not-Noctis (Yozora) and Luxord in the limo directly paralleling one of Versus' old trailers. >>1129254 >Seemed weirdly disconnected between worlds imo Disney's fault. They were infamously strict about certain properties behind the scenes - particularly Frozen, demanding the entire Let it Go sequence be adapted but simultaneously that the KH characters could not influence the plot.

>>1129330 Great gameplay and a solid conclusion to the Xehanort saga. What I really felt was missing in KH3, though, was a strong, story-heavy moment in the middle of the game. I really wanted KH3 to have a standout mid-game sequence, like how KH2 had the massive Hollow Bastion battle with the 1000 Heartless—that was such an epic turning point. Instead, KH3 mostly feels like Sora and the gang just goofing off in Disney worlds until everything suddenly ramps up at the end

>>1129142 >>1129095 >>1129408 >>1129358 >>1129354 You're aware you can post multiple images in a single post, right?

>>1129417 Plenty of the other threads are posting one at a time. This is just a preference.

>>1129368 I feel bad for Nomura, forced to do more Sora and Disney shit instead of letting him make his own edgy IP using kh combat, someone in SE clearly hates the guy to the point they are willing to lose money

>>1129422 >This is just a preference. It's just, for what purpose? Inflating post count? >>1129446 I'd think they ripped him off for FF7 Remake, and given the state of that is on him, I'm not quite as charitable.

>>1129368 It would’ve been great if Square had managed to release these games closer together, but the reality is that the PS3 era brought a lot of challenges. Games were harder and more expensive to develop than in the previous generation, and the transition to the new Crystal Tools/White engine didn’t go as smoothly as they’d hoped. The Final Fantasy XIII project, along with its successors, suffered from poor management and lack of proper planning. It’s possible Square was still reeling from the departure of Sakaguchi, and the leadership may have been in disarray. At one point, they were sitting on three games' worth of art assets without even having a finalized script or a functioning battle system for XIII. Final Fantasy XIV faced a lot of the same issues. Nomura’s team for Versus XIII was pulled away repeatedly to help with XIII and XIV, which meant his game struggled to get off the ground as well. I’m not super familiar with the development of Type-0, but I do know it started as a mobile game, and it definitely ran into its own set of hurdles during development.

>>1129025 >>1129422 Anon, I think you're just an idiot

>>1129467 If your sensibilities are offended that's fine. But it's not my concern.

>>1129460 Riiight, XIV's trashfire release was happening concurrently, wasn't it. That couldn't have helped.

>>1129006 What I want from king hearts 4 is a stronger emphasis on character development which would have been great before. I get that Sora’s core strength lies in his unwavering optimism—his ability to stay true to himself and inspire others to change. But it would’ve been nice to see him evolve as a character. There should be moments where his boundless optimism backfires, teaching him the hard lesson that blindly trusting everyone and rushing into situations without weighing the consequences isn’t always the best approach.

>>1129489 The biggest problem was how drastically different the PlayStation 3 was to develop for, and the fact that Square Enix tried to make their own game engine from scratch (Crystal Tools) to handle all of the FNC games and FF14. So not only did they have to learn an entirely new console architecture that everyone across the industry complained was too difficult to develop for, they had to do it while creating their own tools from the ground up rather than working off of an existing, established engine that would have simplified the process and allowed them to have support from the creators of the game engine when they ran into problems.

>>1129566 Damn that sounds like a huge undertaking when it comes to creating the saga, which might explain why Final Fantasy 13 seemed to struggle with its direction.

>>1129595 Honestly I still really like final fantasy xiii. Music, artwork, presentation

>>1129446 I assume it has more to do with disney brand recognition

>>1129006 >hurls Jewish slur >New York Post (rightwing rag run by pro-war jews) Lemme guess. He just said that Palestinians shouldn't get genocided, right? These days, mentally unstable jews perceive any pro-Palestine speech as "pro-Hamas" and "anti-semitic" speech. Apparently, being against the genocide of 51,000 people now makes you literally Hitler. Who knew. The interesting part here is that Disney (also run by jews) didn't waste time in blacklisting and threatening Rachel Zegler after her pro-Palestine tweet. Given that Disney partially owns Kingdom Hearts, I doubt that Haley Joel Osment will ever be allowed to reprise his role as Sora now.

>>1129896 He called them kikes. But he also called them nazis so obviously he was just drunk. Also >rightwing >jew How does that work?

>>1129903 >He called them kikes. Based if true. But now he's gonna get the Mel Gibson treatment. His career is Done.

>>1129925 Hope that weird faced guy saved his money

>>1129939 I don't imagine voice work pays too much. At least not to live off of. He did work with spielberg. But that was so fuckin long ago.

>>1129006 Not videogames related

Do you guys not archive site links on /v/?

>>1129422 >preference No, it's a bad habit you got from your terrible decayed home

>>1134281 Yes, archive everything

>>1134335 Should I report OP for advertising then?

>>1134340 Yes

>>1129006 Twink Death is actually real

>>1134340 You’re just butthurt about your general. So transparent

oh boy, twitterposting. Feels like 4chan never died at all!

Is there even any hope for KH3 after how disappointing it was? I had more fun with the hype threads than with the actual game
