Looks more and more like FFvs13/15. Nomura has a very specific idea of "cool" that really spoke to me in my teens, but sadly no longer. I watched the vs13 trailer about a bajillion times. The KH-deep-dive-trailer about a fantastillion times. This trailer right here: watched it one time. Will probably not buy the game. Story feels like an incoherent mess since part 2. I wish I cared and looked forward to something like I did for KH2 and FFvs13/15.
wait for the PS6 version, this visual style needs performance
Kingdom hearts 3 was a blast to play through. It was the first game i played on ps5, and the jump to 60 fps was massive. Although i loved final 7 remakes, i think i enjoyed the combat in kh3 more lol
Really surprised to see this show up at Nintendo's show but it makes sense with the earlier games coming to Switch. Will definitely be playing this on my PS5 though. Here hoping the stick to Disney worlds and not the 'real world'
Hearing remnants of known music tracks from earlier games in this announcement gave my bit of chills.
Man, having aged 25 years since KH1 is weird, series used to be about Sora Donald and Goofy journeying around Disney worlds, now Sora is fighting on his own in modern Tokyo?
Honestly, this "real world" depiction just reminds me of early Vs13 where things just kinda felt off. Gameplay needs to be good as the story has just fallen off completely now.
This is why I don't take the nostalgia bait. lol. I use to. Boy, did I use to. But after getting burned over and over and over again, I just realized what was happening and stopped. The games we loved in the past stay in the past along with our memories of them. They can be re-polished, updated, whatever. But they will never recapture the feelings you had when you played the originals. In order to do that, you'd need a time machine. Retro, as in playing the OG games on a CRT, is the closest you'll ever get... and even that falls short.
the only surprise on this show was really a surprise!
