Sure but he looks the exact same as he was 17 years ago. It's throwing me off. I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Sora has actually matured physically for Kingdom Hearts 3.
Technically I think only a year's passed between the two, though, so maybe that doesn't make it better.
Agreed. In a setting where everyone already looks young (lots of names for this, I call it "Geobreeders syndrome"), Sora (probably thanks to the character design time that inevitably goes into the main character) actually has subtle changed in such matter that he absolutely looks multiple years older than he did when we met him in the first Kingdom Hearts.
Too bad there was more than a decade between major, chronologically-successive entries and Sora's spent so much time weird time-traveling sleep comas his brain is probably mush.
Yeah if you didn't put those two images side-by-side I would have bet a lot of money that he looked exactly the same as he did in the previous ones. So I suppose they did a really good job at aging him enough to not make him look wildly different.
The game itself is really fun so far.... I just hope they flashiness of all the attacks don't begin to wear thin. Start a fight -> Kill the guy with the green circle -> Hop on the pirate ship and kill everything -> change to 2nd form -> final attack, etc. It's all very flashy and a full of spectacles but if every fight is like that then I can see myself getting very bored in the next few hours.
Also I hope they pull that stuff from FF7:R, but I know they won't.

Pro-tip: don't use attractions. The combat is already easy and they are comically over powered and proc way too much and there are only a couple of them so if you use them every time they pop up you will definitely just be seeing the exact same big animation killing everything on screen over and over.
Set the triangle button to move to the newest action so that it just auto skips to the stuff you want.
I might use them once to see them... Plus my kids enjoy them, but yeah they definitely make every fight a breeze.
Also I really wish there was a way to flip the controls around. Having Square be dodge, Circle be Jump, and X attack is really throwing me off lol.

Oh yea. Whenever a new one popped up I used it once because I like to see new animations for sure. But man they just trigger so damn often and then for some reason you get like a bunch of skills to make the trigger even more often. It's crazy.
Keep yourself entertained with the combat by:
- Only using attractions enough times to see them all, or when you're supposed to (the train one in both instances) or if you're in trouble ever.
- Switch up keys constantly to see all the different moves. Switch between them mid-fight to do good combos.
- Use defensive keys at appropriate times, magic keys for dodgy or flying foes, physical keys for tanky foes, etc.
- Try out all the summons and team up supers for funsies.
- Use Flowmotion or environmental shit when convenient. Attacking from big drops or while wallrunning is fun.
- Use magic for combos to get at all the super magic spells.
If you challenge yourself to fight using the whole toolkit, the game will stay WAY more interesting than if you pick one key and formchange with it everytime. Which the game would not punish you for doing.

I'm a little baffled by the attractions. It's like they aaaaaalmost resemble real-life Disney park attractions, but they don't. Maybe Disney objected for some reason?
Goodness there are a million cutscenes. They've been going on for 15 minutes about transporting me to another Twilight town without a whole lot of actual information.

Pulling the thread back into the light through 8 pages of darkness (read: got beat in posting in SE+ thread):
man, on paper I like KH3 more than KH2...but I only did my Proud mode run and cleared up the portals and that's it. Here's hoping the new DLC adds some replayability for me.

Are they fleshing out the last world with the DLC?

Yeah, it looks like that is the direction the second trailer is implying. My guess is...
We see how Sora tries to get Kairi's heart back but in doing so he breaks a time travelling taboo and has to undo the mess he creates from the heart/final world (which might explain why we don't see Sora in some of the refreshed end game group boss fights).
You also have the other story line (more from the first trailer) that is adding some back/side story that ties in influences from Union Cross (mobile) and setting up for the next KH game.
Geez, I don’t know what it is, but this game basically dropped off the face of the earth for me after I finished the story. I’m hoping the DLC gets me back in. What’s the price on it?

40 I think? Or 30? One of those.
I'm actually kinda excited for this because I had SO MUCH fun with this game and I have nothing to play right now.
Plus one of the options is turning of attractions. And thank goodness for that. I already didn't use them because I hated them so much but now I can actually just remove them? Yes please!
I made it to Elsa's level and quit. I might have to restart playing it again eventually but I wonder if KH just isn't a series for me.
It definitely has a very unique taste that will not appeal to all!
I was SUPER into the first one when it came out. But after that it's been me buying the game, playing hard for a short bit and then putting it down. I don't know what it is about KH that does that to me.
The analogy I like to use is that the first game was like the ol' "chocolate in my peanut butter" classic analogy. But the rest of the games kept the chocolate and peanut butter very much separated and would not ever let them touch. So yeah, taking a bite of some chocolate, then a spoonful of peanut butter, in no way matches a peanut butter cup.
"The sausage of Green Earth explodes with flavor like the cannon of culinary delight."
Going to Twilight Town and hearing that Seifer has left for some sort of manly training and took Vivi with him is, in this candy analogy, a lot like those left-vs-right Twix ads but done by Reese’s Cups. “It’s time to give the chocolate and peanut butter their own packages.”

I'd say KH1 is the absolute weakest of the series though.

$30 gets you the DLC; the $40 option adds on the World of Tres concert video footage from one of the tour stops.
Not a fan of having to beat Critical mode to get Oblivion. Damn, I'm in the middle of a Nier:Automata playthrough (just finished up the other protagonist missions in Route C) but it looks like I'll have to NG+. Which I guess is fine, hopefully I can just grab my Ultima Keyblade and do fine.

Oh seriously?
That's super lame.
Good thing Ultima weapon looks super cool. But I just wanted to see the new forms with Oblivion.
Never going to be doing that.

Yet another reminder that there is a mobile game for KH (and not to be outshone with the inbound DLC):

Not really. Bart Simpson's VA is how old?

Anyway, check out my cool new limited edition Sora jacket/Riku hoodie combo:
Agreed. In a setting where everyone already looks young (lots of names for this, I call it "Geobreeders syndrome"), Sora (probably thanks to the character design time that inevitably goes into the main character) actually has subtle changed in such matter that he absolutely looks multiple years older than he did when we met him in the first Kingdom Hearts.
Too bad there was more than a decade between major, chronologically-successive entries and Sora's spent so much time weird time-traveling sleep comas his brain is probably mush.

Dang. That woulda been cool. Really wish that mode was there from the start so I coulda used it!
Note: Including the E3 trailer first...
...aaaaand adding spoilers due to potential reveal of characters for anyone not caught up on Secret Movie/Reports
Turn on captions for this one
But my main complaints were the lack of difficulty and the absence of SE characters.
You also have the other story line (more from the first trailer) that is adding some back/side story that ties in influences from Union Cross (mobile) and setting up for the next KH game.
I REALLY doubt
Pretty sure it’s
I thought
I was under the impression the epilogue implied
Sora gets stuck in TWEWY, Riku gets stuck in Verum Rex
Just a reminder (and a fair spoiler warning to XBox users) that the PS4 DLC release is today/tomorrow!
Western region release is imminent; eastern markets are starting to delve into the content and videos are starting to show up on YouTube.
Oh right.

Previews of a couple of the tracks:
Also, keep in mind there is a free update to 1.07 that adds some changes to the game play and story as well.
