frick no it wouldnt, the lion boy thing is way too specific and the chainsaw didn't have enough going on with it
there's a reason these things stay as concept art and dont make it to the final product
Definitely because he’s Riku’s grandfather. As a toddler, he has kid Riku’s same hairstyle and even wears wristbands like him too. It’s 100% inevitable
Can't wait for another KH gacha to become least profitable gacha game under S-E's belt yet still exist for 5 years because until then higher-ups won't bother Nomura no matter what.
And I bet the pace of meaningful story updates will be even worse than UX's
It's not even a theory just look at smash and how sora was the 13th fighter overall, the seventh dlc character of the second pack(because one was technically two characters) and released 13 days after being announced on the 13th update.
I'm too lazy to merge two images and post them here, so have a link instead

>mobile trash
Just say you don’t keep up with the mobile games. Because the mobile games hands down have the best writing in the series and the best stories in the series and also the darkest games in the series. It’s kino
No it's true, it's like a microcosm of the games themselves. Terrible disney filler and amazing original plot. Seriously KHUx was like 95% utterly meaningless disney filler and the original stuff especially near the end was some of the best in the series. Not gonna defend the fact that it IS a mobile game though(handhelds are unfortunately dead and square is once again moving away from AA development)
Hilarious how you type that as if that is something good for the series, having the best parts being stuck in mobile freemium chibigames is literally why i stopped playing
Dark Road was garbage - another batch of characters nobody cares about (just like X and UX did - the cast is already stupidly huge by now, STOP INFLATING IT) and boring plot that tries to paint Xehanort as "dindu nothin' wrong" guy AGAIN. Probably 95% of KH fanbase never played neither of gacha games and maybe 10-20% of fanbase watched the vital plot cutscenes on Youtube.
Actually, I found it funny how UX was bombing so hard that Nomura put DR in the same app as UX (instead of making it a separate one) just to bump it up in AppStore / GooglePlay profit ratings (expecting a Xehanort game to save this disaster)... only to change nothing and still force EoS by higher-ups. Bonus laugh for Nomura to break his promise of "no more games about Xehanort" by making a game about Xehanort, which he himself admits. >"I know what you're probably thinking: the Dark Seeker Saga, which depicted the battle against Xehanort, finished with KINGDOM HEARTS III, didn't it? Well, it's a grey area, but I wouldn't call this title part of the Dark Seeker Saga. Why? Because this isn't about battling against Xehanort—it's about the battles of Xehanort." >"And maybe you're thinking that's a bit of a reach, but… okay, maybe it's a bit of a reach."
>Having the main plot hook for your sequel locked behind 500 hours of pointless quests, 10000 cutscenes of filler and P2W gameplay is good, actually
ok nomura
It literally only takes a couple hours to sit down and watch the cutscenes on YouTube . Are you Black folk that lazy to do that to keep up with the story of the gacha games?
Versus CONFIRMED.
How do you feel about Sora’s original design? Do you think it would’ve worked?
The chainsaw would have been fun.
frick no it wouldnt, the lion boy thing is way too specific and the chainsaw didn't have enough going on with it
there's a reason these things stay as concept art and dont make it to the final product
The chainsaw was specifically something the disney execs wondered what the frick they were looking at
why monkey? She'd either be a rabbit or cat. Or just a human because she's from somewhere else.
Yeah aside from the hair. Just like any other beastman character in jrpg.
we could've gotten sniper kairi
he looks like some tumblrette's "humanized" fanart of Simba from the Lion King.
early sora was bussin no cap
>Mobile trash
Who cares?
This
How quickly we forget
Cool OC donut steal
Yes, every KH character is a Nomura OC, moron
They’re not as cringy as that literal who DeviantArt looking character
I've watched many streamers play KH3 and everyone spoke the same line when this guy appears in this scene 'Who the frick are you?'
That is definitive proof that normies fans at least, don't give a single frick about their mobile garbage
And yet Nomura and Square keep fricking making it, for who?
themselves
Darkness
Put some respect on Xehanort’s ancestor
You think Xehanort got to continue Ephemer's bloodline? He did live a long life after all.
No because he was gay.
gay for darkness
Definitely because he’s Riku’s grandfather. As a toddler, he has kid Riku’s same hairstyle and even wears wristbands like him too. It’s 100% inevitable
So Riku is a Ephemer descendant too huh?
100%. Him, Xehanort and Riku all have the same hair color as well too
You must be new to this series.
>Defending mobile trash
You must be genshingay
Your board is that way
>mobile trash
>will be essential to the story
This, I'll wait for someone to give cliffnotes
It’s a requirement to understand KH 4 story so it’s anything but trash moron
Wasn't the beta in fricking January? Wtf is it taking so long?
Can't wait for another KH gacha to become least profitable gacha game under S-E's belt yet still exist for 5 years because until then higher-ups won't bother Nomura no matter what.

don't forget the blatant powercreep and whalebaiting
Is this that shitty pokemon go ripoff with the snow globes?
Yep
Can't wait to miss the vital lore for KH4
Watch the cutscenes on YouTube numb nuts
KH NEWS??? YES
>mobile gacha thrash
>the brick part of the building is a near 1:1 clone of Twilight Town's building theme
what did Nomura mean with this
Who is more autistic? Nomura or KH fans?
We're reaching Kojima levels of insane fan theories
Fun fact Nomura and Kojima are actually best friends IRL. Even more fun fact. While at lunch, Kojima suggested Nomura to do a FF7 Remake
It's not even a theory just look at smash and how sora was the 13th fighter overall, the seventh dlc character of the second pack(because one was technically two characters) and released 13 days after being announced on the 13th update.
After that stupid shit he did with secret message prior to KH4 trailer I'm not surprised by anything
>secret message prior to KH4 trailer
What did I miss?

the frick am I looking at

I can't imagine how deep down the Stockholm hole you have to be to type this out, even ironically.
Thanks for proving my point dumbass

Dark Road was surprisingly kino
Baser Xehanort
If it's so good then why isn't it in a REAL game?
Dark Road was garbage - another batch of characters nobody cares about (just like X and UX did - the cast is already stupidly huge by now, STOP INFLATING IT) and boring plot that tries to paint Xehanort as "dindu nothin' wrong" guy AGAIN.

>mobile game
I want news on 4 damnit.
It literally only takes a couple hours to sit down and watch the cutscenes on YouTube . Are you Black folk that lazy to do that to keep up with the story of the gacha games?
Where's KH4? No one cares about the shit story anymore so the only thing left is the real games gameplay
if the gameplay in 4 is the same as 3 then there is nothing redeemable left
No news until Rebirth releases
They're saving KH4 for after FF7R2. Then it and probably DQ12 will start getting news. Unless KH4 gets cucked more to focus more on DQ12.
Isn't DQ marketed mostly separately from FF/KH? Admittedly I have no idea how it was for DQXI.
I care about the story fight me Black person gay
