I don't buy that this is in-game. I don't even think this is even representative of the game. It just looks like a CG video created to appease fans beyond the announcement that KHIII is being developed. Maybe you can convince me, or I'm being naive here?

When Hikari Orchestra started playing I had shivers. I've been waiting for this moment ;_;
Probably so people wouldn't say it was CG, or something like that.

You're probably protecting yourself from possible heartbreak. Unlike Versus/15, one would have expected the usual cartoony graphics. But I really do believe they'll ram things up and go for E+. I mean, it's a new age and games are changing. If they can't keep up then they wont catch the eyes and pockets of newer players.
Well, time to get a job because I'm going to need to afford a ps4, large HD TV and this when it comes out.

I think more people will be in this thread now.Looks like the doubters will be crawling back soon

It probably isn't in-game, but I assume it's pretty representative of what the game is going to look like
I agree, didnt look exactaly like gameplay, but the graphics will look just like it. Im sure of it.

I didn't think the graphics were anything impressive, especially after seeing Killzone, inFAMOUS and Ver-- Final Fantasy Fifteen, but that's expected of an alpha and the art style is a lot different. But considering what we got with FF and KH so far, I expect the final product to be mind blowingly gorgeous.

But the biggest question still remains:
What about a new theme song from Utada! Or some other singer but I am not well informed on other japanese artists who could replace her if the need be.

The Kingdom Hearts III trailer seriously shocked me, I really didn't expect that at all to happen before 1.5, I'll gladly eat crow for it but I'm so damn happy it actually happened. The way it was handled at the start was great too because I thought it was a 1.5 promo until they started showing more titles and leading into III. I realise that may not have been the real deal and just a representitive of what it will look like, but I was not expecting it to look that good, after having games designed for SD systems and going for the jump to PS4 it really blew me away seeing that, I can't wait to see what other worlds will look like with those type of assets and character models.
I'm kind of curious now if 2.5 will be on PS3 or PS4 now, I'd lean towards PS3 still, but now that 3's been revealed for PS4 even though 1.5's not out yet in the West I can see a PS4 release for it being a possiblity.

It took me about 21 hours all up (about 8 were just me messing around in Rikus story mode on proud until I got to castle obvlivion and beat it, at that point I was about level 40 and then I started grinding)

Really hope we get a new song. Simple and Clean and Sanctuary are great, but KH3 really deserves a new song (hell, BbS and 3D did too). Should be part of the main game package: new theme song, new worlds.
Would be great if they could coax Utada out of her hiatus, but I wouldn't mind someone else doing it if they can't.

How long will the wait be? I hope this doesn't become a FF versus all over again.

I assume they've put the Osaka team on it to ensure it actually gets made instead of being held up any further by FFXV.
Might be optimistic, but I wouldn't be surprised by a 2014 2.5HD Remix, 2015 Kingdom Hearts 3 release schedule.
2015/16 for a Japan release.
I'm expecting a couple to a few years. It being a small tease and the in development message gave off the very early in development vibes to me.

Some interesting 1.5 HD insight from a Nomura interview going on right now. Apparently, they lost the KH1FM source code, and they ended up having to reverse engineer the data from the retail disc for the collection.
Napalm_Frank

Well that is the way Bluepoint does it so it is tried and true.
I wonder how long hiatus we will have with KH3. I kinda expect it skipping TGS+Jump Festa and reappearing at next E3 after 2.5 has been out in Japan for a while.
The infamous Silent Hill collection was done with beta code instead of reverse engineering when they didn't have the original code. Didn't turn out too well.

oh god, how much i waited for this moment. I was literally crossing my fingers when the guy said "We have one more trailer for you" and then BAM: DISNEY LOGO.
Then i was like, please let it don't be 1.5, and surely wasn't disappointed. I screamed so fucking loud when the III logo popped up in perfection...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The gameplay in twilight town looks beautiful, exactly what i expected the game to be on the newer consoles...
Also, the keyblade sora picks up from the sand... was that eraqus'?

More from the interviews:
- Battle system is evolved from KHII with some of the well recieved elements from the handheld games. (Probably flowmotion, going by the trailer)
- Multiplayer under consideration
- Summons are present, but in a different form
- Won't confirm or deny any playable characters aside from Sora
- Recognizes that the past few games haven't had many FF cameos, New FF characters in KHIII under consideration
- They've tried multiple times to get the Jungle Book to work.
- Going to try to surprise fans with some of the Disney world selection
- Going to use different shader effects to closer replicate the look of the respective Disney movies used in the game.

Kind of crazy to think there was a time where the Osaka team made S-E games aside from KH, haha.
Taking into account the fact that they started KHIII in 2010, it's crazy to think that at one point in time, they were working on BBS:FM, KH3D, helping out on Re:Coded, and presumably starting pre-production for KHIII.

Nice, nice. Hoping against hope for a Marvel world. XD
Oh god, now I am scared. This right here will literally determine if I actually enjoy playing this game or not. I want flowmotion for sure but if there isn't some sort of good melee skill system I am going to be broken, I do not want to go back to the dark days of pre-BBS. Also I really hope the modifiable rolls/blocks from 3D make a return in the game. Sliding Block is one of the coolest things to happen to KH melee combat as far as I am concerned.
Yeah, that's a heavy workload in a short time period.
If it started pre-prodution in 2010 I guess I as much about development and it taking so long.
This has to be a thing in Kingdom Hearts III, has to, it's just too perfect a oppurtunity not to.
Yeah, that's a heavy workload in a short time period.
If it started pre-prodution in 2010 I guess I don't have to worry as much about development taking so long, I even think a TGS trailer might happen now.
Aid Buzz Lightyear in your party, defeat Zurg.
Lol, imagine a Zurg boss fight in Kingdom Hearts.
Hahaha If.
They'll probably even shove her in as a guest party member.
Sora should just be like 'No thanks I'm cool'

KH2 had 11 Disney worlds (plus Disney Castle but dat doesn't count!). Let's say that KH3 has the same amount, what would you guys pick if you were Nomura?
My picks:
Returning:
-Winnie the Pooh (your basic minigame hub)
-Olympus Coliseum (I'm sorry guys! But it is a tradition of sorts almost. Just improve the coliseum battles and be closer to KH1 than KH2. Also multiplayer versus or co-op battles! Also we still have big bosses yet to appear from the movie like Cyclops, Lava Titan, Wind Titan. The main trilogy wouldn't be complete without Phil declaring you true heroes himself! Add your random FF cameo here with Lightning or something.)
-Pirates of the Caribbean (either with Davy Jones stuff from 2,3 or Blackbeard from 4)
New:
-The Great Mouse Detective (Ratigan boss fight in the belltower is a must for the series)
-Toy Story (Toy forms for the party!)
-The Incredibles (Superhero form for Sora and old superhero costumes for D+G from old Disney comics!)
-Robin Hood
-Jungle Book (return of lion Sora!)
-Star Wars (Deal with it. The world would of course take place in the Deathstar for dat tech look in space + gummi ship route having TIE fighters ^^)
-Pocahontas
-Sword in the Stone

I don't think anyone's posted this yet, it's from a Square-Enix PR regarding Kingdom Hearts III that reveals some plot details (courtesy of KH13)
I get the feeling the keyblade Sora picked up on Destiny Islands was the Key to Return Hearts. Riku and Mickey having an adventure together and Riku having a big role in DDD makes me think he'll be playable here (or mickey for the first time) and that Kingdom Hearts III will be another multiple scenerio game.
Yeah, I feel you can't have a mainline Kingdom Hearts game without Olympus Colosseum, it's practically a series tradition now.
Pirates of the Caribbean returning and going with stuff from the sequels seems like it's something that should happen (plus it the locations and artstyle they go with could look amazing in HD)
Donald and Goofy having their comic book costumes would be awesome fanservice!
I'd love to see what costume Sora would end up having in it.
The Jungle Book would be a really great way to bring back Lion Sora without reusing Pridelands and going with a different world, good thinking Frank!
Star Wars has so much so potentional for scenerio picks to mesh with Kingdom Hearts it's rediculous, a space battle with TIE fighters and the Death Star would definately be my favorite pick though.

Yeah, they kind of sidestepped showing it in the teaser much. Hopefully that's a good sign about it not having much of a role in the gameplay.
Yeah, I know, wishful thinking
I wouldn't be suprised if she was in there instead of Noctis. (sadly) I can see her fitting well in with the worlds with more realistic lighting/textures if they keep a similar look to what she had in the XIII games though.
Winnie The Pooh in HD would feel so weird for me, even if they adjusted the artstyle to fit 100 acre wood it'd still feel weird as to me, but if there's a minigame HUB I can't see it being any other world.
