Time to make up fake spoilers until real ones arrive:

I can't believe Malificent was the Heartless of Sora's mom, and Xehanort was his father, and that Sora changes his last name to Nort!

Without spoiling anything, the new data fights seem to be a LOT more heavily remixed than the KH2 data fights were.
It’s not just in a “these bosses were originally designed for group battles so we needed to flesh them out” way either, even Vanitas is a totally different beast than he was before.

TOO MANY PEOPLE MERLOCK!
ONLY ONE DIJON!
So up until this point, have we had anything locked behind playing a specific difficulty mode that wasn't unlockable with harder requriements in the lower modes? Cause one of the new keyblades requires having the Proof from critical mode.

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
At this point im covering my eyes and yelling into the thread.

I saw a clip of how Sora doing basic ground and air combos pre and post patch and im so hyped for my boy to be back to being a character-action protagonist when i start the game tomorrow. Final Mix gang 4 life.

Also, I need to know how 3 ends before thinking where the franchsie goes next, of course, but the feel I get is that they'll release a Switch game soon-ish called some bullshit like Redacted Scarlet Symphony, have some odd gyro controls, and that's the one that finally gets to say "gently caress it" and uses one of the IPs Disney has bought over the last decade for a world, like Marvel or Star Wars.

So do you need to beat crit mode/get all the emblems to unlock Oathkeeper and Oblivion or no? I've done both but some friends haven't and I can't check until after work.

Yeah, need the Proof of Promises from getting all the Lucky Emblems to exchange for Oathkeeper, and Proof of Times Past from beating critical mode to exchange for Oblivion.

Huh, wow. I was mostly convinced the proofs were just stylized for show, since it seems kind of mean to lock an iconic Keyblade behind the most difficult mode.

Welp, glad I got 'em!

Actually locking cool things behind difficult accomplishments is an awesome part of video games and makes my lame Critical run good now.

Kingdom heart’s jp Twitter did another interview, taking some key things from a Khinsider translation:

https://twitter.com/_KINGDOMHEARTS/status/1219954323951517696

-no plans currently for a final mix edition, there may be a rerelease for the new consoles
-Khux has an announcement tomorrow
-there are 2 additional kh teams working on games, one of them has a title coming “surprisingly soon”

This is pure speculation, I don't have it available yet, but I'm half expecting the ReMind content to start with a "Kingdom Hearts III.2" title card

From what I’m seeing on YouTube, it looks as though ReMind might just be a revised ending?

re:mind is kind-of in two parts. first part is the revised ending, the second part is called the "limit cut episode" which is all post-game stuff

Some people suck at video games but still love those Keyblades.

Not cool people like us, of course. But some people.

If you beat Critical Mode, does the Proof of Times Passed appear in all your save files, or only in the Critical Mode one and ones you NG+ with that Critical Mode file?

pretty sure it's only that save file earned and it does carry over to new game+

so unless you wanted to do all the super-hard extra content on the hardest difficulty setting you'd have to beat the game on critical and then loop through it again on a lower difficulty

Based on those same YouTube videos, yep! That's Christopher Lloyd all right.

yeah the way they did the oblivion keyblade kinda sucks. apparently there are options in the premium menu that let you futz around with gameplay options to breeze through, but it's still not really worth it if you want to do everything on a lower difficulty
