In this case Hayden only recently returned to acting after struggling with postpartum depression. At the times these lines were recorded she was still recovering. Nobody's fault there, just lucky Stoner has expirence with the role she's about a good a stand in for Kairi as you could hope for

Your saying she was battling depression in between Until dawn and this? jesus...that sucks
Just finished 0.2 after the patch actually made it feasible in Proud mode. I still think it would have been awesome if this would have been part of KH3 and a secret until release.
Imagine booting up KH3 for the first time in 2019 to finally play as Sora and end this saga only to find out you have to play a KH1 tie-in first!

Until Dawn may have been done a long time ago considering the development hell that title had but, yes, she missed a significant chunk of the 3rd and 4th seasons of her show, Nashville, due to the pregnancy itself then her issues with depression after delivery.

Would've been neat, but I think the potential feedback gathered from this to make KHIII a better, more balanced game is more valuable than a surprise factor that'd wear off after the first time.
And according to Nomura, DDD was originally envisioned as KH3's opening anyway, 'til it was made it's own game, lol
Plus there's still a chance that the opening segment will be Riku and Mickey anyway, before we go back to the bumbling trio.
Though I guess Kairi and Lea make more sense as the tutorial.
i assume you haven't watched Back Cover yet

It's related to KH III and since 0.2 was supposed to be the prologue in KH III it would have made more sense.

I wonder how the tutorial is going to shake out, actually. Nomura did say KHIII would have a relatively abrupt opening. He said the same thing about DDD and that threw you into the literal deep end against Ursula right off the bat while doubling as a combat tutorial.
I think it'd be neat if they started in medias res with Sora, Donald and Goofy against Rock Titan, before rewinding back to how they even got there, FFXV style.

I hope the tutorial is controlling the young Eraques and Xehanort. That'd be dope.
Like, two friends training and stuff.
I have watched Back Cover and I think that scene makes sense in Back Cover, not at the start of 0.2!
I still don't know what that scene is. Is it the first test while falling asleep or something?

Sora's model looks great, but some of the other characters look really weird to me. Like too... plasticy? Especially
Terra and Yen Sid
I assumed the Ursula fight was a distraction. Didn't seem like part of the test.

Yeah. To get to the realm of sleep where the actual exam starts, they needed to basically hitch a ride on a world falling to darkness, so Yen Sid sent them back in time to when Destiny Islands fell in KH1. I assumed Phantom Ursula was just a vaguely explained pre-test by Yen Sid to prepare them.

Looks great but his sleeves don't move.
I honestly feel so good about KH3 now.
The most amazing thing about 0.2 is that it feels exactly like I hoped it would.
Kudos to the osaka team for having made this giant leap and fully maintained the series integrity.
Even cutscene direction flows naturally from old KH days.Those cutscenes that start with foot step sounds </3 </3

Unfortunately yeah.
Would have liked to have seen Ghost Drive at least but Wayfinder is pretty similar
Seems like the suped up magic are replacements for Firestorm, Thunderbolt and Diamond Dust
We just know that's where Sora's going. It could be like KH2 where we don't even play as Sora at first.
no that the actall tutoial world we going to going to jump right in kh 3 instead of like privous games
Sora and Riku are sent back in time by Yen Sid. They are the ones that steal the boat you make in KH1 (the boat mysteriously disappeared when Sora wakes up at night). Ursula (she still hasn't had contact with Sora or Riku) is sent to Destiny Island by Ansem to stop DreamSora and DreamRiku, but she doesn't know that the real ones are in the island (Riku is being consumed by darkness and Sora is getting chosen by the keyblade)
And all of this just to justify that Nomura wanted them to look younger just because he likes their designs more that way. And he was forced to change them anyway after the backslash when the game was revealed lol He should have just used KH2 Sora and Riku in DDD.
Sora never found out the boat was gone because he didn't get to that part of the island. He was only on the front side, encountered Riku, then went straight to the secret place. In DDD they do take that raft though.

Man, DDD looks really clean on my 4k TV. If it's not native 4k it's doing a good job of fooling me.

I half expect Twilight Town to be a detour.
Sora can't find a direct route to OC but then Gets an idea. So maybe he thinks he can find a route from other familiar worlds.

I'm loving the importance they're giving to Disney stuff to the story.
Gives me hope that the Disney worlds in 3 won't just be filler.
Olympus Coliseum being essential to Sora regaining his strength, Merlin training Axel and Kairi, etc.
The game is gorgeous looking in brightly lit areas.

So bad on the PRO. they should have a 30fps lock setting. Hate variable fps. Or give option for 900p 60fps locked

900p and still no stable 30fps.
I hope they keep improving on that.

Oh my God!!!
I have never played 3D and I didn't know all the details of the story. This is so fucked up, i love it.
(Hate that the game cuts back and forth betweem cutscenes - they could have given us a chronological option now that it's on consoles again)

Not bad for a tech demo, plenty of time to smooth things out.
Still the better version IMO.
EDIT: I believe I got the frame-pacing chart wrong and OG is much worse than the Pro in that regard.
Well got all trophies in 0.2/saw back cover.
Really interested to see where KH3 goes now.
On KH3D now and I can already tell platinuming this is gonna be an ordeal ha ha. Have a few questions though if anyone knows?
1. Will we need to beat KH3D on critical for platinum? I see it'd a trophy in reports but not sure it's necessary to do that?
2. How do you make all 3 spirits very happy for this happy camper trophy. I think it's when they sparkle on the bonding mode but can't get the other 2 to do it. Get me out of this mode already!
EDIT: Just got this now, it was as I suspected, all need to be glowing, seems to be when you play with them enough and you're getting more bonuses than usual, leave them at that point and work on the next one.
Thanks

Does anyone know if I can complete the main story for 0.2 and then keep exploring the areas to complete all of the objectives? Or, would I have to start a new file?
Not answering, unfortunately, but I have a question for you.

Where did you have to go for the "Get to the highest point in town" objective? I need to do this still for my trophy 
You can, and have to if you're 100%ing it.

Ha ha right. It's:
On the floating platforms in the middle of town, I believe on the floating part of a tower. While you're there I also saw a meteor shower there towards the castle.
Karma dictates I'll get my answers next

It's in Cinderella's world. There simply is a path on top of the floating buildings that involves some platforming. It's hard to miss if you look in the sky really.

I'm glad Sora's going to at least be able to go through one world in KHIII with his costume from II. I used to hate it, but it's actually grown on me in the time since II (Which was admittedly a decade).
Shame it's only really ever used in II and very, very briefly in DDD. Speaking of DDD, I like how the secret unlockable message still kinda applies now, what with 1.5 and 2.5 being ported to PS4.

Final boss is very hard on Crit. His main attacks do an absurd amount of damage. I took him about by not allowing him to have a second phase. The Wayfinder sequence allows you to unload all your attacks for a good bit.

I never thought the beginning of DDD was actually Sora and Riku sent back in time!
That just blows my mind!
Also the beginning of 0.2 has Luxu overseeing the end of BBS, but how is that possible - does that mean there are two No Names?
... Could the box be a
