Can't believe Axel is in the trailer. I'm so excited for tomorrow!

Can we have long hair riku again please? Or seriously, whatever thing but not DDD adult design plz.
now without watermarks
The cutscene character models are so weird to me.
There goes Mickey's perpetual smile. Finally!
+100 if his ears were aligned to the side of his head like Epic Mickey.
Still love the use of Disney Land rides as Sora's (possible?) summon. Still hope the Drive forms return, but can understand if they move on from that.
The DDD models are the same from the handheld and PS2 games.
As for the UE4 models, we just need to get used to them both in close ups and far away shots. They look weird because we've only had the PS2 era engine since the series debuted, so seeing something different for once is strange. But now we're moving on and its awesome
Riku is the best, he saved Sora too many times.

Just like in Kingdom Hearts 1. Don't know why they changed it.

That kh3 shot looks so weird to me..which is even more weird because i absolutely loved the e3 footage maybe its jus that shot

We dont even know what NX is and if this thing even can handle UE4.
Right, it's not like Square already announced Dragon Quest XI for the platform.
Anyway looks like they didn't so let's not derail the thread. Do we have an hq version of the new trailer?
EDIT: ok read the op, it's coming tomorrow. Great

Whats weird to me is that they (particularly the shot with Riku and Kairi) still look like PS2 models.
Its the blank stare. I understand that back in the day separate models were used for important cut scenes but I kinda expected them now to at least look more convincing than those shots?
At least Sora has expression in his, but that's probably cause of the animation set for the shooter ride.
Maybe its just that scene, I'm probably overthinking things and its actually fine in motion.
FF15 has spoiled me and I should just be happy for new info. I should be more patient and wait for tomorrow's trailer.
Their postures that annoy me more. It's like they have no idea what to do with Kairi's hands.

Anything more basic than those positions and they might as well be T-posing lol
It probably looks fine in motion, much like the E3 trailer.
YupSounds like the best thing from this event was that 'making of' video....which won't be released online to public.
And I want to know what was in the making off video.
I hope someone details it scene by scene x.x
Yeah, your overthinking a lot of it. In particular, the Kairi and Riku shots are nowhere near as blocky or clunky as their original models, they are much smoother, and up close infinitely more detailed as well most likely
They are looking forward, so they are going to probably be looking in the same general direction as well, so i'm not really sure i understand the blank stare comment. They aren't going back to the 2D faces trick
Aibo has some detailed description on twitter, which I am sure someone will translate.
Apparently they showed making of 0.2 as well, where Aqua is fighting heartless. ( I want to see this!)
For KH3 they showed some heartless, Marluxia's nobody, daybreak town in KH3 engine, Mt. Olympus and etc.

Damn. I want to see Aqua >.>
Isn't there a KH 2.8 trailer? She might show up there...
And I wonder if some of that stuff in KH3 will be in the trailer itself (I mean, why wouldn't Mt. Olympus be?).
And apparently there was a scene with everyone (Sora, Aqua, Terra, Riku, Kairi, etc etc) too? I wonder if that was UE4.
I think the KH 2.8 trailer focuses on Kairi and Riku (shown in that screenshot) and seems to show Aqua's back shot we saw from TGS....not sure if we get any new Aqua shots..
And that scene with everyone sound like a montage rather than a new scene?
threelights
Member
Fuck.
I mean, Kairi's cool... But she's no Aqua (and Kairi's not playable in 0.2).
Oh well, I guess we're not getting much after all.
It's Yen Sid's Lecture Pose™.
It borderlines on silly in 3DS when Yen Sid waffles so much, the duo looked like they're daydreaming.

Any word if Riku, Kairi and etc are wearing new clothes in the KH III trailer.
I'm very thankful they fixed Soras face, something really felt off about it before. And not the doesn't look right fish face texture kind.
That's a good question actually. On the other hand though I seem to recall Sora in DDD having his regular clothes in the early trailers, so we might not findout until a later trailer.
They don't show up in KH3 trailer.

Uh at what point did they confirm or even suggest it was the ue4 version and not the 3ds version NX was gonna run?
not to mention ,whether nx will get it or not at all is still in doubt.
id hardly take any of that as a confirmation for nx being compatible with ue4
For what it's worth Kairi was wearing less clothes in 2.5 compared to KH2.
don't hurt me

The trailer we'll get is basically just an extension of the E3 trailer.
The rest was shown only to the attendees.

that's a shame.
Well
Mark Rein said:
Considering that it's that scaleable and that the NX is almost certian to be more powerful than the Wii U
so it seems like the video they showed are
-new KH HD 2.8 trailer
-new KH3 trailer
-KH HD 2.8 & 3 making of trailer (exclusive to the event)
-King Mickey special trailer(just fun montage it seems) (probably exclusive to the event)
-a special trailer that includes many of the emotional scenes from previous KH games. (probably exclusive to the event)
-new KH HD 2.8 trailer

So, we'll get both KH III and II.8 trailers tomorrow? Or just the KH III one?
It's definitely a 2017 game since Nomura has run out of things to re-release after next year.
It's absolutely not a 2016 game. Kingdom Hearts is annual and we know 2.8 is the game next year. It's 2017 at the *earliest* assuming that 2.9 isn't coming (possibly as a collection of I.5 and II.5 on PS4). Plus FFXV is next year and I doubt this its out before July. They wouldn't drop both in the same six months period.
It's Kingdom Hearts. They'll find a contrived way to bring them back.

Well we haven't hear of the Unchained localization for a while so that could be a 2017 title!
May 2017.
